ETERNAL DRUNKARDs.-We met
quite philosophical old drunkard
the other day. He conversed quite
we'll on ordinary subjects, although
his clothes were of the shabbiest
character, hat and boots full of holes,
elbows out, knees threadbare, coat
buttonless and face unshaven; still
there fingered around him an air OF
ancient respectabihty. After Il few
minutes conversation he mildly in
situated that a drink would be very
acceptable. We replied that if he

UNDERGROUND DANGERS.
Two Miners Drowned in the Rock
Island Shaft.

On Thursday evening about 6 p.
M, another distressing mining ac-
cident occurred which so often throw
gloom of sadness over the COM
munity. This occurred at the Rock
Island mine i'll American Flat, and
resulted in the almost instant death
Of two miners, William Wilkinson
and Robert Hawke. These men were
engaged in making an up raise on
the incline from the 650-foot level
toward the bottom Of winze which
had been sunk l40 feet from the 450-
foot level of the mine. This Wine
had, as appears from the testimony
taken before the Coroner's Jury,
abont sixty feet of water in it. This
water was to be let ont by means of
hole drilled from the raise into the
Wine. They had put off one blast
and it is supposed they were not
careful enough in removing the
debris and must have in picking the
loose rock broken by the shock have
so weakened that intervening be-
tween them and the Wine that the
great body of water broke through,
drowning them before they could
possibly escape. Every precaution
had been taken by the Superinten.
dent and Foreman to prevent just
such an accident as so fatally occur
red, and had these men availed
themselves of it they would in all
probability have now been alive.
Robert Hawke was a native of
England, but 10 years Of age, and
left no relatives except brother in
Virginia City. William Wilkinson
was unmarried, 26 years of age and
from Blackjack, Wisconsin. The
bodies were taken to the under
takers office in Gold Hill and an in
quest held by the Coroner at IL
o'clock in the forenoon of Friday.
The jury returned verdict of acct
dental death.
