TEN MEN SAVED FROM INSTANT DEATH IN

Ten men employed In the Yellow-Jacket
mine In Nevada were recently saved from
death By the presence OF mind OF the engl-
neer, p. Mccarthy. They got on the small

tom OF the shaft. They had gone but
short distance, before the eccentrics OF the
donkey-engine broke, and the skip with Its
living freight started for the bottom at
lightning speed. The engineer knew that
the descending skip must be stopped, or ali
ON board would be dashed to pieces at the
bottom OF the shaft. He instantly seized u
