A Hot Mine,

The Savage incline, a point lea the
water, is 80 hot as to be almost beyond
human endurance. But for their shirts
the skin of the men would be blistered as
though by a jet of scalding steam. A
man from the mine recently showed a
blister on his arm that was nearly as
large as a mans hand. This blister was
caused by exposing his arm at the bot
tom of the incline. 1t is SO hot down at
the water that in screwing a nut on the
end of a bolt n man would be able to
do no more than fasten a monkey-wrench
upon it before he would be obliged to re-
treat. Another would then descend and
give the wrench two or three turns, when
he would fall back, and a third man
would go down and give it a few turns.
Yesterday morning the giraffe got
of the truck well down on the incline,
and in trying to replace it one of a small
party OF men was so overcome by the
heat that he fell down in a state of in.
sensibility. His companions carried him
from a point between the LOO and the
], 900 foot levels to the / 300 foot level of
the Hale and NOrcross mine, where he
could obtain a mouthful of fresh air. He
was still unconscious when he reached
the point named Virginia City Enter
