A NIGHT IN AN OLD SHAFT

Every now and then are told of some
ones making a miraculous escape from in
slant death from falling into an old mining
shaft. Somehow these tumblers manage to
fall great distance without hurting them
selves, and then are lucky enough to get out
again without much hurt or harm. The Tus
carora Ttne.s Revieo of Wednesday relates
the following:
On Monday evening about half past seven
o'clock, Henry Garner, the blacksmith at the
Grand Prize mine, started to call on Judge
Kelley, who occupies the house formerly used
40 an office by the Superintendent of the
Grand Prize West. When within twenty
feet of the cabin he fell into shaft about 50
OF 40 feet deep The mouth of the shaft was
covered with snow, and in his descent he car
,led large mass Of snow with him, thus
breaking the Iurcc IF MS f,.ll. He vas not
wen stunned, and ut once began to consider
Jays and ,neans'by which to get out He had
MY one match BY the feeble light Of which
ne discovered drift from the bottom of the
shaft This liz ;,roapected. and finding it
perfectly dry and comparatively comfortable,
ne laid down and slept tn" or three hours,
intending to shout for assistance when the
shifts chaged at Six o clock. Growing col,
however ne determined 10 make an 6UOrt To
release himself from his unpleasant situation.
With small pocket knife, the largest blade
Of which is not more than Il inches long, he
began to cut steps in the side of the shaft
Slowly and painfully he made his way up
about twenty feet, when he had to return to
The bottom to warm his half frozen feet by
~alking to and fro i'll the drift. Three times
;ie assayed to reach the surface, and as many
Zines compelled to 60 below for rest and
warmth. At length, about half past nine
clock yesterday morning, he reached the
top and succeeded III dragging himself to the
surface He had spent fourteen hours in
in tho shaft, aud experienced no discomfort
except from tho cold We have called atten-
ton once before TO the danger of leaving
shafts and prospect holes uncovered. Mr..
Garner escaped unhurt, it is true, but his es-
cape is remarkable, and such another will
perhaps never occur again. Had the shaft
heen deeper mad he been IN ured by his
fall he must have persisted misersbly of cold
and hunger. The time and cost of covering
such places is very little, and even if the
lumber is now aAd then stolen, it is better
that claim owners should lose it than that
some good citizens life should be lost by their
nsrligence

Berlin, January 23-In Tuesdays sitting
u the P-ussian Budget Commission, the
Minister Of finance declared in his own name
though not on behalf of the Ministry of
State-that until some new source of reve-
nue. from indirect taxation was created in
Germany, and until it was ascertained what
portion of the surplus thus possibly created
could be transferred to Prussia's account, it
would be useless to discuss the question of
reducing income and class taxes, as any re-

Says the Eureka Le1der of Monday:
The remains of Edgar Kicker were to-day
taken from the grave, in W. P. Haskells
plot, and removed to the undertaking rooms,
where the coffin will be revarnished and prop
srly boxed, preparatory to shipment to the
old home in Maine, whore his bereaved pa
rents reside. The remains were excellently
preserved, and the face was almost as natural
md life-like as the day when the coffin lid
closed upon it. Poor Eds tragic fate is still
fresh in the memories of all, and the regrets
over his untimely end as deep as when he
sighed his last breath away on the quiet Sum
mer evening but few months since. His
old father and mother, in their New England
home, will sadly receive the cold clay of a
dear one who had left them to seek fame and
fortune in the Wild West, but whose good
'.ess had been manifested during his absence
by substantial tokens of his love and rever-
euce for those he had left at his birthplace.
His brother, who has succeeded to his
place on the Eureka and Paiisade railroad,
superintended the removal, and under his di-
rection the body will be forwarded by express

AONE SIDED BULL FIGHT.

The Alpine Signal of Wednesday relates
the following:
On last Thursday William Thornhurg and
james McNutt went up to Pleasant Valley,
for the purpose of driving down an old work
bull, which had been running in the valley
for some time. On account of the deep snow,
snd considering the bull perfectly gentle.
they went on foot Arriving in the valley
they found ths bull in the trail; they con
tinued to approach each other, the mon still
thinking that he was gentle, and would turn
from the trail at their near approach, but it
proved to be otherwise. Whom they had got
ten within about twenty-five yards of each
other the bull made a rush for them, singing
out Thornburg, he devoted his time and en-
ergies to him particularly Thornburg started
for a small hole, or depression near the roots
o; some large willows, but failed to make the
desired spot. However, he threw himself on
the ground, and while the bull was doing his
best to gore him, he kept trying to roll him
self into the hole, AID endeavoring to keep
the bull off by kicking and striking. During
the time McNutt was doing his best to get
through the snow and willows to help Thorn
burg, but having no bull behind him his
speed was not as fast as ne wished, but it is
opposed that he frightened the bull, which
