Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-10-30

other shocking accident occurred in one
of our mines. N. Pierce and F. A. Carr
were the workmen of the night shift in
the IvaDhoe shaft. The former was at
the surface, whilst the latter did the
work below. The shaft is now l4O feet
deep, and is timbered to within 10 feet
of the bottom. Ladders are also arranged
as far down as the timbers are put in
The ladder by which the workmen climb
from the bottom of the shaft to the first
timbers is attached by rope to a sub
stantial fixture at the surface. and the
windlassman draws it up out of danger
when blast is about to be let off at the
bottom. The workman below usually
Climbs up this ladder, and thence by the
stationary ones to within so or co feet
OF the surface, in order to iun no risk
from the.explosion.
At about half-past nine O'Clock Carr
gave the signal to draw up the ladder.
Pierce drew it up to the usual height. The
blast exploded. and the ladder was again
lowered. Just as Pierce had lowered the
ladder, as he thought nearly far enough,
he heard something fall down in the
shaft. He looked down the shaft, but of
course could see nothing in the darkness
and then shouted to his fellow
workman asking if he was hurt.
He listened for a reply but none came.
He shouted again, but still received no
answer. Assistance was called, and upon
descending the shaft Carr was found in
the bottom, dead. The body was raised
to the surface, and carried down town.
Some one saw, or imagined he saw the
movement OF a muscle. Physicians were
called; but they found that the man had
breathed his last.
+. A. Carr was native Of Bucksport,
Maine, where he has relatives now liy-
ing. He was about 40 years of age, had
been at one time owner and captain of a
ship, which he sold in San Francisco in
1860. He came to Nevada at the time of
the Washoe excitement, and remained in
the State until the time of his death. He
we was highly respected by those who
knew him. He was quite an intelligent
man and faithful in every relation of
life.
