cause of exciting incidents, and at other
times of narrow escapes. On Thursday,
while the train was coming up the grade |
from the Alps mine with number of |
empty cars, the coupling pin holding the
locomotive and tender, from some unex-
blamed cause, probably jolting, shot out,
and Immediately fell back in the socket |
AGAIN. but it was out just long enough to
let the tender go, when the locomotive
shot ahead at lightning speed and the
balance OF the train commenced to back
down hill. The men on the ore cars
promptly applied the brakes. When the
train reached the divide the engineer,
for the purpose of allowing one of the
brakesmen to switch the track, slowed
IN. the iron-horse, when old Uncle
Joe Reed, who was sitting on the cow
cowcatcher, jumped off, and the point Of
the cowcatcher caught his feet, throwing
him across the track. A young man sit
ting on the cowcatcher caught at Reeds
feet with his own feet, throwing them up
so that the cowcatcher did not strike
them, at the same time yelling to the en-
gineer, who Immediately threw back the
lever, reversing the engine with such
quick motion that the wheels spun around,
but did not move ahead The prompt
action of the young man and engineer
saved Reed from being killed.
MUDDY NEWS. We learn from o let
ter, written July 18th, that crops on the
Muddy are good; have had there rnpre-
cedented cool weather up to the last
week, which was most intolerably hot
and suffocating, owing to the continuous
cloudiness of the sky. At st. Thomas
the grasshoppers are destroying the hay
crops and running the vineyards, whereas
at st. Joseph none has been seen and Bob
Logan will have fine grape crop. The
peach crop is scarcely average, but the tig
trees are yielding abundantly. The april
cots were all killed by the frost. Every
one has escaped the chills this year. A
saw mill is here in the valley awaiting
the close of the busy season, when it will
be erected.
Ell DORADO AND LAS NEGAs.--O. d.
Gass informs us that the crops at his
ranch this season were never before in a
better condition, everything is growing
and ripening rapidly, with the exception
of the peaches. The Philadelphia Com
pany at Ell Dorado Canyon have paid up
all the outstanding Indebtedness at the
Canyon, have taken down the new mill
built by Knox and are putting up q new
l5-stamp mill, intending to prosecute Wig
orous work. The mines are showing up
well, the ore averaging over 500 per ton.
