A Miner EntOmbed Alive in a Tunnel
for Over Six Hours.

One of the most thrilling adventures
in the annals of mining in Amador
County happened in the Zeile mine, near
jackson, on Wednesday last. At the
morning shift at seven O. clock, Nicolaus
Noce, an Italian, with a number of
| other miners, went to work taking out
ore from the 240 foot level. Noce, it
seems, was separated some distance
from his companions. They had been
at work but a few minutes, when the
premonitory symptoms of coming
cave, such as the creaking of timbers
and falling of small pieces of rock, told
the workers in language not to be dis
regarded that it was time to seek safer
quarters. They were not slow to obey
the warnings, Immediately Withdrawing
from the point of danger, preserving
their communication with the shaft. In
Withdrawing they were not forgetful of
NOce, shouting to him to get out of dan
gers way. He, however, not having
observed the premonitions of the APP
preaching disaster, did not realize
the nature of the impending trouble.
The cries of his comrades con-
veyed the idea that something was
wrong, and he retreated towards the
face of the tunnel. No sooner had he
got out of the way then the crash came.
One half of the ledge next to the hang
ing wall came down with a laundering
sound, crushing the heavy timbers like
match sticks, the cave involving about
thirty feet along the ledge, rearing
an effectual barrier between Noce and
his comrades and liberty. It was not
long before the awful nature of his situa-
ton dawned upon Noce. He was cut 0
in the tunnel, lone prisoner in one OF
the recesses of the mine, with hundreds
of tons of rock and debris choking up
the only possible outlet from his cell.
From the cave the tunnel was sixty feet
in length, which would afford air for q
day or two. He was well provided with
candles, having two or three with him,
and he began to contemplate the pros
pect of having to subsist by eating them.
He tried to scale the loose rock and worm
his way through to the other side, be-
tween the roof and the dislodged mass,
but very soon realized that this was ut.
terly impracticable. At first the miners
on the safe side of the cave thought their
comrade was buried under the mass, but
this idea was soon dissipated by hearing
the voice of the imprisoned one calling
to them that he was alive and unhurt.
Under the direction of Superintendent
Rose men were set at work to clear a
passage way large enough for the man
to crawl through. They worked close
to the hanging wall, propping up where
necessary as they advanced. The men
were changed frequently and worked
like heroes, and the narrow passage
grew rapidly under their eXertions.
NOce, from the other side, worked
literally for dear life, squeezing himself
through openings surprisingly small,
lacerating his breast and back and limbs
by contact with the jagged quartz. After
six hours of toll the borers met, and
Noce, to his infinite delight, emerged
comparatively uninjured among his COM
rades. He was scared, as any would be
under such circumstances. The distance
through the debris was over twenty feet.

DrOneS in the Human Hives.

Emphatically the man who does moth
ing, either by his hands or his brain, to
improve the condition of mankind, and
who tries only to crafty selfish purposes,
has lived to but little purpose. The
humblest laborer that digs in the dirt
and breaks the stone is more to be hon
ored than such man. A man of wealth
who uses that wealth to improve his
country, to reward labor and to benefit
his fellOw-man is worthy of all praise,
and deserves our warmeSt thanks; but
he who lives on the interest of his money,
though it be counted by millions, and
contributes nothing to the general well
fare through earnest effort, is 4 mere
drOne in the human hive, and will, when
he passes away, leave behind him the
most valuable part-his money. Such a
person never realizes the immense accu-
mutation of effort, of skill and money
necessary in carrying out successfully
any manufacturing or business enterprise
which, when properly cOnsummated,
will produce such far-reaching benefits
in any community. The radical wrong
in this illustration is too far back to be of
any use to hint at reform, but for the
principles which we wish to elucidate it
has served our purpose. The difference
between the man whose interest alone
supports him and the man who laborS
early and late on the farm, in the man.
ufactory, at the desk, in mercantile pur-
suits, professions or in following the lead
of inventive genius cannot at all be
estimated by comparing one with the
other. While the first has been aptly
compared to the drone, the latter, in
Guiding all producing industries, should
be styled the Nations benefactOrs. What
creates wealth? Who build splendid
mansions for the abode of wealth and
culture? Who build our magnificent
floating palaces? Who produce the rich
fruits with which they are laden? The
men who till the soil, who work the
mines, who run the furnaces, who toll
in the shops, to gain the support they so
honestly earn. When financial disaster
comes, who suffers the most? Is it the
man with his millions? BY no means
but the working. telling millions, that
are victims to this unequal distribution
of money. Every manufacture can af-
ford to pay good wages when he can sell
what his labOrers produce at remunera-
tive prices; so also, should capital pay
for its Injuries and extravagances in an
equal ratio. No capital should remain
in an unemployed condition when a
country Astounding in mineral wealth, as
does ours, offers such inducements. Let
capital seek out locations for manufac-
tories, open our mines,' construct our
railways, instead of being boarded and
subject to locality prejudices, and en-
ploy the thousands who now suffer
through the mismanagement of the very
men whose Golfers they have helped to
swell. Our country is rich in resources,
and to assist their development is the
duty of her citizens. How different
would be the condition of the laboring
men in this State if the money within its
borders was put to use, and those desir-
ing to work were given employment at
remunerative priees.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

Wonderful Miracles Performed by an
Unassuming Man in Virginia.

A special to the St. Louis GIObe-DcDpo-
crdt from Wytheville, Va, April Is,
tells the following remarkable story:
For some weeks past the people of
Scott County have been terribly excited
over the miracles which have been per-
formed by Richard Miller, of that c0un-
ty. His fame has extended all over that
section of the State, and hundreds of the
afflicted are daily visiting him. Miller
is middle-aged man, employed as the
keeper of McMullin's mill, near Estill-
vile. He is deeply religious, and claims
TO have had dream, a month ago, in
which the idea was impressed on him
that, with Gods help, he could perform
wonderful cures, simply through faith.
He states that the next day after a ferv-
ent prayer he healed q sick man by
touching him. The intelligence of the
miracle went all over the country, and
the afflicted of all kinds came to him and
were healed, simply by the touch of his
hand. Yesterday G. r. Wertz, a phOtOg-
rapher at Abingdon, visited Miller in
company with a paralytic uncle, the seat
of the paralysis being in the mouth,
which deprived him both of the powers
of speech and hearing. Miller looked
at the afflicted man, and after a short
prayer touched him and told him that
before he reached home he would be
well. Last night, as Mr.. Wertz entered
the door of his house on his return, his
hearing and speech came back to him,
and to-day he is apparently hale and
hearty. Miss Irene Newton, a beautiful
young lady of Bristol, Tenn, helpless
from rheumatism, was brought to Miller
last week, and when an attempt was
made to lift her into the carriage she
rose from sedan chair and said she was
entirely well. One of the most wonder
full miracles of Miller was the cure of
Mr.. Peter Whitesell, who has been for
some years afflicted with cancer. The
cancer was touched, and in three days
had disappeared. The miracle-wOrker is
an exceeding modest man, and always
Indignantly declines any compensation
for his services, alleging that he is but
the humble instrument of God. He takes
no credit to himself for the performance
of these miracles. All the people in his
section believes firmly in his miraculous
powers.

HER MAJESTY

You proud Of your Freedom,
But Of my Queen
Most absolute sovereign

Che nouts and torments me,
Yet holds mein thrall.

And soldiers who keep
Their solemn eyes open
