FATAL MINING ACCIDENT.
Daniel X. Travis Instantly Killed
at Candeiaria.

The True Fissure OF the oath has the
following account Of a fatal mining acct
dent at that place 1.-THE first fatal min
ing accident in the mines OF Columbus
District occurred last Thursday night. or
early Friday morning. Daniel r. Travis,
a miner employed in the Mount Diablo
mine, was at the 143 station, and, feeling
nnwell, was about to go on top. The
bucket had been rung down, and contained
several tools. Travis, it is supposed, put
his head into the bucket shaft and was
struck by it while it was descending, or,
feeling faint, fell into the shaft headiong.
The first theory is the most likely. While
his head was protruding into the shaft the
rapidly descending bucket struck him with
its lower chime, nearly severing the top off
his head. The body then fell into the
shaft and struck oil the bottom, two hun
dred feet below. He was taken up dead.
A Coroner's Jury was called and found a
verdict in accordance with evidence and
with these facts. His funeral took place
yesterday at 7 o'clock under the auspices
Of the Masonic and Odd Fellows associa-
tions, both Of which orders he was a worthy
member. During his residence here he
made many friends by his quiet and unas-
summing manner He was followed to the
grave by the largest funeral cortege prob
ably ever seen in this place. Deceased was
a native Of Nova Scotia. His brother left
here only a few days ago for Homer Dis
trict."

The Nichols Ranch Case.

This case was argued yesterday before
Mr.. Harvey Carpenter, Acting Register of
the Land Office. by W. W. Bishop for Mr..
Nichols, and Alexander Wilson and Geo. r.
Almond for the claimants. Mr.. Bishop
claimed that under the late decisions Of
the U. s. Supreme Court no presumption
or homestead claim could be filed on land
already enclosed. Mr.. Wilson claimed
that these decisions did not apply to cases
where the Government had recognised the
right of the settler to the first presumption,
but the settler had refused to avail him
self OF the right. Both sides of the ques-
ton were fully presented, and the Register
reserved his decision. As soon as be passes
upon the subject the case will be taken be-
fore the Land Commissioner at Washing.
ton, and from his ruling an appeal will be
taken to the Secretary OF the Interior.

From the New York MALL
Senator Jones Of Nevada, and General
Arthur left this city on the 10 o'clock New

Senator Jones, with his accustomed

The Senator never looked more rosy and
full Of life, and spoke with his accustomed

SOuth.

The first performance Of this company
will take place at Eureka Hall on Monday
evening. The San Jose, California Herald
speaks of the performance as follows Per-
sons in the habit of attending dramatic
performances in this city we're surprised at
the California Theater being so well filled
last night. So many Of our amusement
patronizing people are away at the beach
or mountains that a small audience would
be expected. The dramatic idyl Sunny
South" is in some respects the strongest
dramatic piece ever played in this city.
There is a dark undercurrent Of treachery
running through the whole play that re-
quires genuine dramatic talent to fully
bring it out. Charles e. Allen as " Leon
ard Grogan," alias Colonel Cole" is the
leading character of the play. The treach-
erous cunning Of Leonard Grogan," and
the calm, cool composure of the heartless
william, Colonel Cole" are well repre-
scented by Mr.. Allen. A dying friend en-
trusts him with his two boys, together with
their fortune. Anxious to acquire the boys
fortune he binds them to a blacksmith,
Dan Smollet," a heartless wretch like
himself, thinking himself rid OF the bows he
goes on to enjoy their fortune. The boys,
Messrs. johnson & Cooper, grow to man
hood, leave the blacksmith. disguise them
selves as negroes, are taken (as free ne
groes) by their former guardian. the black
smith, and an accomplice. and sold from
the auction block to "Col. Cole" They
discover that their master is using the for
tune left them by their father. The plot
is full OF intense interest throughout. The
stage scenery is admirably suited to the
play. The burning bridge and cotton
picking on the old plantation produced a
fine effect. Teddy Malone" Mr.. Logan
Paul. kept the house in roars of laughter
by his Irish wit. Miss George Wood
thorpe, as MARY Murray" the betrayed
and abandoned, has hosts Of admirers in
San Jose. The company is we'll organized,
and we wish them success on their pro-
posed Eastern trip.

Curious discovery In the Tunnel.

Virginia Chronicle The south branch
Of the Sutro Tunnel yesterday cut across
an opening in the ground that has the APP
pearance Of being an old drift. The open
ing is at the bottom of the tunnel ON the
vest side, about 800 feet southwest of the
Ward shaft. 1t looks like the top of a
drift, but may be a natural assure, as it is
not known that any mining operations have
ever been prosecuted in that section Of the
ground, which is within the Bullion lines.
A stick was pushed into the hole about ff-
teen feet without finding any wall. but the
supposed drift has not vet been explored,
and therefore it is not known whether it is
artificial or natural.
