RAYMOND & ELY.-The pumping ma
chinery has not been in motion since the
nigh. before last. A portion of the
pump rod was being lifted, when by
some means the wire cable came off the
sheave, letting the ponderous rod fall
short distance with great force. In its
descent it struck the winch on which
was suspended the lower pump. The
force of the blow fractured one OF the
supports OF the winch, causing the pump
also to fall to the bottom of the shaft.
No one was injured by the accident,
which otherwise is quite serious and may
cause q delay of several days as the
water rose rapidly in the shaft.
PRECAUT1oNs.-In view of the terrible
accidents that have occurred lately at
Virginia City, the Gold Hill News ad-
vises the adoption by the several mining
companies, of every possible precation
for the prevention of accidents. The
News is right. Every imaginable safe
guard should be used to prevent injury
to life or limb. Under any circumstances
the calling of miner is peculiarly haz-
ardous and it is the duty of all concerned
to take and expose others to as few risks
as possible.
QUINLAN oHEEHAN. the man injured in
shaft of the Raymond & Ely, was not so
well yesterday afternoon, owing to nerv-
Gus prostration caused by the shock.
DR.. Lee made thorough examination
and found that there were no bones
broken, except in the leg. That the
ribs and spine were entirely uniniured
and that the seal p wound was not SO bad
as at first thought for. Altogether,
though he had very narrow escape,
there is good reason to hope that he will
recover speedily
The weather for the last day or two
has been very pleasant. Sunday last
was disagreeably cool, but since then it
has been very delightful, neither too hot
or too cold. We see by the Gold Hill
News that the inhabitants of Slippery
Gulch were favored by snow storm on
the 10Th inst, and the News reproach-
fully says still the inhabitants of the
ComstockIan burRs are not satisfied
Some folks are difficult to please.
INsPEcTING.-The Rev. S. P. Kelley,
