Giant Powder Accident.

Early Yesterday morning Charles Berg, a
Norwegian, better known as Charles Berry,
lost his left hand in an accident brought
about by his own reckless foolhardiness in
using giant powder. Berg was employed on
the Josephine claim, owned by Downs, Tai
bott ct al. On Thursday evening, Just before
quitting time, he tamped in a charge of giant
time was called at six O'Clock, but through
some defect in the fuse the powder was not
reached by the fire and no explosion fol-
lowed. Yesterday morning when Berg went
to work again the first thing he did was to set
about drilling out the tamping of the lost
blast. This was positively against orders
not only in this mine but in all others about
Butte, but like too many other skillful miners
long familiarity with dangerous explosives
had rendered him unmindful of the care al
ways re luired in their use. The tamping was
drilled out with ease, and the work went on
all right until the drill reached the cap, when
an explosion followed at once. Berg was
using a single hand drill when the accident
III piaSC, "oo hiStiihS pSioAt IL IN
was engaged in cutting out. If the charge
had been a full cartridge he would have been
blown to pieces, but, being quite light, he es-
capped with the loss otth left hand with which
he held the drill, his hand and wrist being
so badly mangled that amputation between
the elbow and wrist was found to be neces-
sary. This operation was performed within
an hour of the time when the injury was in
ficted. His other injuries are unimportant,
and the patient is said to be resting easy. An
accident of like severity happening from any
other cause would be regarded as not neces-
sarily dangerous, but resulting from a giant
powder explosion. its effect is a matter of
great uncertainty. In giant powder eXplo-
sions the shock received by the system appears
out of all proportion to the wounds visible TO
the eye.

We learn that Messrs. Ayleswor.h & Nc
Farland have nearly completed arrangements
with the Thompson creditors to lease the st.
Nicholas Hotel ane furniture. Should the
arrangements be completed as is desired the
house will be open In a few days.
Workmen were removing, yesterday, the
dirt from Dellinger Il Hyde's cellar and filling
up the street on Broadway near the MINER
office. This gives an opportunity for a COM
paratively sober man to travel on this street
at night without the dread of breaking his
neck.
Gold Hill, Nevada, came near having a
disastrous fire a week ago, but the fire CON-
panies put it out in thirty minutes with a loss
of only $4,000. Had it not been for the
efficient fire department, two hundred thou
sand dollars would net have covered the
loss.
A meeting of the School Board was held
yesterday afternoon, to make arrangements
for opening a department of the public school
down in lower town, somewhere near Aliens
foundry; also to see about securing another
room and teacher for Butte.
In Buffalo gulch, along side the road lead
ing from Butte to Walkerville, a solitary
miner is at work in the olden style with a
rocker, washing gravel taken from the right
bank of the gulch. The bar yields fairly of
fine gold and would pay well with a lume if
water enough could be had.
The new furniture for the school, although
eighteen days from the terminus, has not been
received yet and the process of finding seats
for the pupils is not an easy one. About 2S0
pupils are in actual attendance, with more
coming, showing the necessity for another
room. Some way should be provided so
the Principal could give more time to over
seeing the other school rooms, is one of
the most important duties of a principal.
A Walla Walla correspondent of the Salt
Lake Tribune exposes the doings of one w.
w. Davies, who formerly lived near Deer
Lodge. Originally a Mormon he pretended
to have a revelation and took to himself the
title of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. His
first wife objected to his having as many other
wives as Solomon but soon sickened and died.
At her grave her husband declared he had
power over death and life, which was evident
ly true in that especial case.

Drainage and Canals.

The people of Terrebonne have
formed joint stoe k company to
open water navigation from that
Parish to New Orleans by means
of canals and bayous cleaned out.
The plan is first to clean the
bayou Terrebonne from Houma
to a point below MI. Bislapd's
plantation, then cut a canal to
the Bays which are near by, and
by passing through the bay to
the Latourche ridge, cutting
through that, at or near Gray's
canal, communication will then be
had from Houma to New Orleans
by Harvey's canal.
The clearing of the bayou Black
and the re- opening of the canal
between the Black and Terre-
bonnie aud Houma will follow, for
ming an entire water connection
from the Attackapas county to
the city along the margin of the
Cult.
This will secure a safe and easy
transportation route for the i'm
mense products Of st. Mary.
TerrebOnne and Lower Lafourche
to market, and a return of the
merchandise necessary for the
support and comfort of the citi.
zens of that region of county.
This is a very important work,
and ought to be a success. Ener
gy and determination will carry
1t through and from present APP
pearances neither is wanting.
The people of Terrebonne have
been compelled to pay high rates
OF transportation both to aud
from market, and there is but
one method Of reducing those
rates, which is by competitions,
the one now being adopted.
A great deal CT unnecessary
abuse has been indnlged by the
papers of Houma hurled against
the owners of the Morgan rail
road without affecting any rcllef.
Such weapons generally recoil on
the heads of those who use tl,em.

The Future.

"lHoS WHOM Tile GOQS WISH
to destroy they first make mad"
is an old saying, but those whom
the Gods wish to preserve, they
first punish, may also be a safe
adage.
The punishment and suffering
that has been consigned to the
people of the Southern States
during the past 20 years, is from
all probable appearances, the dark
valley through which their path.
way loads to a better and bright,
er future.
The losses and trials of the
late war have been repaired by
the destruction of slavery forever.
The cost has been great but the
reward is ample.
The Exodus that is at present
being organized to draw the ne
gro population from the warm
and genial climate of their south
ern homes to the cold and frigid
one Of the North, whilst it can
only bring starvation, freezing
and determination of that race,
will prove a still greater boon to
the South than the overflow of
the system of slavery itself.
The weapon which fanatlclsm
uses to entice the colored people
from their present homes, will
only prove a boomerang to the
originatOrs Of that uncharitable
and injurious emigration which
dooms the negro race to a speedy
termination aud separates them
forever as a body or a race.
Scattered about among the snowy
hills of the North, and the pierc>
ing winds of the western prai,ies,
his doom is as certain as that of
the poor Indian, who for a centu.
ry has been the prey for the har.
pies of northern philanthropy to
feed upon. In their fate, in their
treatment, the negro can foresee
his own future.
The pretended affection pro
claimed by their northern 50 call
ed sympathizers will prove only
a delusion and a snare, and form
ed of the same material as CON-
posed the originators of the freed.
