Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-04-29


evening, two miners We're busily en-
gagged timbering the shaft of the Twin
Peaks mine, at a point about thirty
five feet from the bottom and fron
there worked upward. In making
room for the timbers, Thomas Trelore
one of the men, loosened with his pick
a mass of rock weighing nearly half q
| ton, which, striking the platform on
| which Trelore was standing, precipi.
tated the whole into the stump. a dis
| lance OF tbirty-five feet. Mr.. Trelore
| went down headioremost, along with
the broken planks, tools and rocks,
plunging head first into about eight
| feet OF water and debris at the bottom.
The other man escaped the same fate
by cllnging to the tinbers of the shaft.
As quick as it could be done the fore
man of the mine, Mr.. j. Il. Fleming,
had tub lowered to tho bottom with
man on il, who assisted Mr.. TrelOre
ont of his muddy bath and brought
him almost entirely unharmed TO the
surface, wetter but wiser man. Mr..
lrelore seems TO possess a charmed
life, as about three years ago he made
a clear fall of 225 feet in the yellow
Jacket shaft, falling there, as in the
present instance, into tho stump, but
when rescued insisted on working out
his shift before going home.
OCR MUSICIPAL ELECTION AT last it
appears that there viii be, at least, two
tickets in the field for City Trustees
We are informed, on good authority,
that these two tickets will be composed
as follows: First ticket-For Trustee at
large. H. f. Rice; First Ward, Sprague
Chase; Second Ward. Cole A.herton.
Second ticket-For Trustee at large, n.
ID. Chamberlin; First Ward. B. +. Fos-
ter; Second Ward, L. NJ. Clarke. We
have heard of no other straight tickets.
II there are such, and the names com
posing them are made manifest to US to-
day, We will publish them with pleasure.
This is a free country and this fight for
City Trustees will DO not only free
fight but free from the influence of
money for the reason that there is no
money or especially high honors to be
gained ny occupying the positions.
