A NarrRw EacnpR.

At the EI Paso Mine. near Leadville, re-
cently, Mark Quinn n miner, started down
deop shaft In a bucket or tub, which was being
lowered hy % man named Patrick Roach
When about ten feet from the windlass the
brake bolt broke, and foi n moment 1t looked
like Qulnn's time had come. But Roach with
fare presence of mind, caught hold OF the de-
taohed rope Mt tho lower end Of which his
friend Quinn hung suspended. Hold ON
there. Mark, me boy" shouted Pat, 'and Ill
bring You up." Quinn held on, but Pat found
1t impossible to hold him. Little by little the
rope slipped through his hands. He held on
like grim death, but the cruel rope dragged
through his grasp. tearing away skin and
flesh. Finding he could not sustain the
weight, he deepairlngly cried, II can't hold
on any longer, pard goodby," and lot go.
Down went Quinn into the dark. deep abyss
y sheer fall Of nearly 225 feet. Pat started or
for help to take out what he supposed to be
uangIed corpse, The surprise Of the rescuers
may be imagined when, going down the shaft
they found Mark Quinn So nearly uniniared
that he was enabled to walk to bis cabin with
out assistance.
