A PERILoUs Position. - A miner
named James Pridaux. says the Silver
City Reporter of yesterday morning, had
his foot badly crushed in the Silver Hill
mine at about II o'clock yesterday. He
and eight or line other men were en-
gagged at lowering the pump in the in
cline for the purpose Of putting in a sec
ton Of pump-column. A rope had been
fastened around the pump and attached
to a winch at station about leo feet
above. When the attempt was made to
lower the pump, the rope slipped on the
winch and allowed il to drop down the
incline about fifteen feet. The frame on
which the pump rested caught Pridaux's
foot against the oentre-post of the incline,
and pinned him SO fast that it required
about twenty minutes to cut away the
post and eztricate him. II was fortu-
nate for PIidaux that the plunser OF the
pump struck the bottom Of the incline,
as 1t left a space Of about two inches be
tween the post and the frame. else his
foot would have been crushed TO a Jelly.
While his companions were eYtficatlug
Pridauy, the water in the incline rose
very fast and was within q foot or two
of him when he WAS liberated. PriGau1
feared that the water would reach and
drown him. and begged for al axe that
lie might cut his foot of and be taken
out. The physician who attended him
says that nine Il the bones Of the foot
are broken.
