the following: ''The Jorsey ledge shows
an immense body of ore. The north
drift has been run o ieet; north in
cline, 100 feet; south drift, so feet; south
incline, 40 feet. The lode is four fee;
wide on the furface, and 5000 feet in
extent. 1t is no doubt the richest ever
struck in this section of the country.
The furnaces for smelling are com
pleted, and will start up as soon rs a
supply of charcoal can be Obtained.
The present bad condition OF the roads
prevents the hauling of coal. Abou
one hundred men are employed by the

A cutting scrape, says lha Phoebe
Record of 18th, occurred yester-
day morning in Buliionviile. the party
doing the cutting being Billy Patter-
son. The man cut was John Kelly.
The affair occurred at ii O'Clock yes
terday morning. He was brought to
Phoebe shortly after, on the Bullion
vile train, by Al. Eastland, and con-
veyed to the County Hospital, where
he was treated by DR.. Philson. On ex-
animation of his wounds it was found
that he was both in the neck and
stomach. He also had a few cuts in
the legs OF his pants, which failed to
do any further damage. From what
we can learn none of his wounds are
dangerous.
The Enterprise OF the 18th says:
About 5 O'Clock OH Friday after noon
James A. Wood, underground fore
man of the Crown Point, was struck
Just below the small of the back by a
timber which came down the chute
from the l400-foOt level to the 1900
foot level. Mr.. Wood sent a man to
the l4OO-foot level to slide the
timber down the chute, then turned
his back and was giving some instruc-
tons to the workmen. The first stick
came sooner than WAS expected and
struek Q glancing blow upon MI.
Woods back, as aforementioned,
infiicting IN ugly bruise. A square
blow would have cut him in twain.
DR.. Hall Was sent for, who ordered the
man sent tn his home in a wagon and
there attended to his wants. N0twith-
standing the severe shock to the pa
TENTS system and the injuries received,
MI. Wood will probably be around
again soon.
