Indications are favorable for another ice
war this summer between the mountain
companies who put up natural ice and the

of hostilities for some time. The manu-
facturers of the artificial ice in the city
will make strenuous efforts to gain the ex-
elusive control OF the market.-[Truckee

This is the way the Silver Reef Miner
puts it =:
1t is puzzling to tell whether
This is really winter weather,
Or is weather

But there Is no use in grumbling
For this winters always stumbling
Into grnnbling
And is tumbling
Into spring.
Friday afternoon, as Antonio Vega, a
miner in the Almaden mines, was descend
ing the shaft, he received an injury from
drill that fell from above. He was 500
feet from the surface. The drill struck
him in the left hip, plowed through the
fleshy part of his leg, coming out at the
knee and laying the bone bare the entire
distance between the knee and the hip. He
had 300 feet further to descend before he
could land He was taken out and his
wound dressed. Although excessively
painful, it need not necessarily produce
death.
