NIGHT before last, about ten
o'clock, most shocking accident
occurred in the Gould Il Curry
mine, by which Edward McKag-
ney lost his life. fhe accident
occurred on the 1,600-foot level, at
the point where the connection
had just been made with the Saw
age mine. 1t seems that the drift
connecting the two mines was not
yet cut out the full size, and the
Workmen were engaged in en-
larging it. McKagney was one of
those engaged in this work, and
while cutting away in order to put
in a set of timbers, was caught
under mass of rock of a ton and
Il half in weight, which suddenly
fell from the roof Of the drift.
This huge block of rock felled Nc
Kagney to the earth and crushed
off both of his legs, just below his
hips.
IT is now stated that John
Welch, the man who was some
days since so fearfully mangled
10y fall of l20 feet in the Gould
Il Curry shaft, will recover.
JOHN HAMILTON, pump man of
the Gould " Curry, who had his
right arm broken few days since
while at work in the pump shaft,
is getting along finely.

NKSTRILoQUIsM EASILY LEARNED.-Accord
ing 70 writer I'm the Chicago Advance the
ventrioquists art is as easily learned As falling
on log. He maintains that there is no DIM
Guilty IN acquiring the power. In the first
place, he says, speak any word or sentence in
your own natural tone; then open the mouth
and Tx your jaws fast, a. though trying 70
hinder any one from opening them further or
shutting them, draw the tongue back in a ball,
speak the same words, and the sound instead OF
being formed in the mouth will be formed in
the larynx. Great attention must be paid TO
holding the jaws rigid. The sound will then be
found to initiate a voice from the other side OF
the door when IL is closed, or under q floor,
or through a wall. To initiate a sound
behind door partly open, the voice must
not be altered from the original note or pitch,
but be made in another part of the mouth.
This is done by closing the lips tight and draw
ing one corner OF the mouth downwards or to-
wards the ear. Then let the lips open at that
corner only, the other part TO remain closed.
Next, breathe, as IL were, the words out Of the
orfnce formed. Do not speak the words dis
tnctly, but expel the breath in short puffs a.
each word, and a. loud possible. By 80 do
ing, you produce the illusion in the minds q
your listeners that they hear the same voice
which they heard when the door was closed, but
more distinctly and nearer on account of the
door being open. The lips must always be used
when the ventriloquist wishes it 70 appear that
the sound comes through an obstacle, but from
some one close at hand.
