MINING ACCIDENTS.

At the inquest upon the body of the
miner Bourcier. who was killed by fall
ing from the cage into the shaft OF the
Consolidated Virginia, the Virginia
Chronicle says:
A number of methods were suggested
by members Of the Coroner's Jury where
by a cage might be SO enclosed as to
prevent a man from falling off. One of
the propositions was to have bar ex-
tend across each side, and another was
made to surround the cage with a screen
OF wire. Ono of the foremen, who was
on the witness stand, stated that these
were both impracticable; first, because it
would be impossible to reach the bell
rope; secondly, for the reason that re-
moving the Enclosures to run on ore cars
or load timbers would take up so much
time that it would be impossible to work
the mine to advantage.
The latter reason given by the foreman
was model one, being in fact that
proper precautions could not be taken to
secure from injury the lives and limbs Of
the miner and work the mine to advan-
tage. In that case the mines ought to
be worked to disadvantage, but with
every reasonable precaution to secure
the safety of oil concerned. We suppose
it would be a considerable dvantage"
il mines could be worked without min
ers, but as that is impossible they have
to be worked with that disadvantage,
and the further disadvantage ought to be
rigidly required that every possible care
be taken consistent with the nature of
the employment to prevent accidents.
| Under any circumstances the laborer
who works below ground takes his life in
his hands during the hours of his daily
toll. Necessity and familiarity with
the danger, CAUSES it to be little thought
OF, but still it is there, lurking in every
shaft, drift, and every operation. 1t can new
er be eliminated, but for all that it sounds
terrible to hear man coolly talking
about working II mine to advantage,
when that advantage is only obtained at
the cost of mourning the imminenoe of
an ever present danger. If the shafts OF
the Consolidated Virginia had been sep
arated by partition, poor Bourcier
could not have fallen into the next com.
partment The selfish economy of moi
erecting such barrier was proven after
all, to be short-sighted and ill-founded
For when the cage fell in one compart
ment, il continuous partition had beer
there, the descending cable would no
have doubled over into the next com
partment and caused the other cage t,
be iammed The stoppage of the min,
for thirty-six hours would have beer
avoided, and poor Bourcier would no
have been killed. 1t is to be hoped tina
the company will have to pay roundl,
for its criminal carelessness.

HOMICIDE BETWEEN MINERAL PARK AND
PIocHE, = A correspondent at Mineral
Park, May 4th, sends the following:
Robert Williams came into Mineral
Park May Sd. from Phoebe and reported
to Judge Haskell that he had shot and
killed a man named John McCarty, April
30lh, fifty miles from Mineral Park on
the Phoebe road, and asked to have an
examination. The following facts were
proven by two witnesses upon examina-
ton.
Williams and McCarty Joined the
company this side of Phoebe. There
were several others of the party, and
from the commencement of the journey,
Williams and McCarty disagreed, the
latter frequently using abusive language
to the former and upon several occasions
threatened his life. The difficulty finally
eliminated by McCarty attempting to
kill Williams with an axe. Williams a,
first ran and was closely pursued, bu,
watching his opportunity he drew re.
volver and killed his assailant. McCarty
was formerly soldier, but deserted
several years ago from Camp Mohave
taking with him the Or. Masters horse.
After careful examination OF the case
Judge Haskell decided it to be UNSUITABLE
homicide and discharged the prisoner. -

The Humboldt Mill and Mining

The Humboldt Mill and Mining Com
pany have force of twelve men at work
in the Pride of the Mountain mine, near
Winnemucca. For the past month or
six weeks they have been drifting east,
as Mr.. Ginaca, the General Super!ntend-
ent, has contended from tho first that
the main ledge WAS several hundred feet
east of where the groupings show or
where any of those familiar with the
mine suppose it to be. Last week they
cut the ledge with four feet of solid min
eral, and much richer, as whole, than
any strike heretofore made. From this
time on. the company anticipate no diff
Guilty in keeping their mill running upon
their ore. Professor Stewart, who ex-
amined the mine about month ago,
agreed perfectly with Ginaca as to the
true location of the mine, and, to prove
his sincerity, made location on the belt
about thousand feet north of the mill
compsny's mine, and the new develop
ment proves the Professors head was
eminently level, rs his location is said to
be as good as any en- the mountain

The carpet-baggers and negroes don't do

tons in the South. The Treasurer of the
State of Georgia, who is said to be good
Democrat, has been playing a number of

not in strict accordance with all the pre-.

accounts and pledged the credit of the
State without legal authority. When he
paid bonds and coupons he forgot to cancel
them, and was 80 liberal of the States fund
as to pay them the second time. He reports
credits to his account which are only imag.
