A Disagrceablc Drop.

The Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise
has the following About 10 o'clock YES
terday morning a crowbar was dropped
down the main vertical shaft of the Say
age from the surface, and went directly
through cage at the bottom, piercing
the bonnet and floor. No one was on the
cage at the time and no one was hurt,
yet it is unpleasant to one making trip
into mine to reflect that such things
sometimes occur. As the bar fell some
thing over five hundred yards it was trav-
cling with the rapidity and vim of a can
non ball when it struck the cage. A bit
of gravel no larger than a filbert sings
like bullet towards the latter part of
such journey.
A dog once fell into shaft at Gold Hill,
and, though the shaft was but three hun
dred feet in depth, two men upon whom
the animal landed were killed, as also
was the clumsy cur that had failed to
hop across che top of the shaft. A rat
tAnce fell down the Consolidated Virginia
shaft in attempting to spring across the
compartment, from wall-plate to wall
plate, and eleven hundred feet below
landed on tfGe bald head of Il mine. md
exploded like bomb, causing the miner
to think a rsrk had cut open the top of
his skull and let out his brains. A grain
of birdshot dropped into the top of a
shaft fifteen hundred feet in depth would
probably bsrst itself in & plank or a
piece of wood it might strike at the bot
tom. This being the case, We repeat that
it is not pleasant to think OF such things
as crowbars going down shafts.
