Too Much "Hoist Awav."

Accidents in the deep shafts of Neva-
da mines are usually caused by falling;
but there was an exception recently.
The iron cage In which men and metal
are hoisted out of the Union mine is
raised with wire rope seven inches
thick by an engine of thousand horse
power. Six men started on the rise Of
over quarter of a mile, and for half
the distance were lifted at the ordinary
safe speed. Then the cage moved fast
er and faster, until it was shooting up
ward at a rate that took their breath
away. The engineer had lost control
of the machinery, which was running
with frightful velocity. On reaching
the surface the cage broke through the
roof of the sheltering house as though
it had been paper. hurting the men into
the air, and breaking the great cable.
No lives were lost, but thirteen bones
were broken.
