AUSTIN, New, Dec. Last night
miner named j. Town, employed in the
Oregon mine, wheeled car from the
390-foot level into the shaft and fell with
it to the stump, distance of 800 feet.
The men engaged at the 590-foot level,
hearing the noise of the fall, ran to the
station at that level when Town hailed
them and asked them to lower a rope.
telling them that he was clinging to the
guides and that he believed he was strong
enough to come up without assistance.
His request was complied with, but after
being hoisted about fifty feet Town cried
out to the men above to lower him quick
ly as his hold was weakening and that
he felt faint. Two miners then went
down to his assistance and he was brought
to the surface. His mouth was found to
be filled with blood, but beyond this and
a sensation of pain in the region of the
back there were no indications of his
being injured. The physicians state that
the man has not sustained fracture of any
bones and that unless he has received in
ternal injuries will recover. He made
the frightful descent of upwards of three
hundred feet down the shaft while cling
ing to loaded car without sustaining
serious injury.
