is like golden cord binding you to hap.

Protecting Others at the Risk Of

Jim Briggs, shift boss in the
Sutro tunnel, has been laid up for
a couple of weeks past with a split
knee.cap. He was working In slip
perry ground, when cave occurred
and he was struck by rock. His
subordinates say that he could have
escaped injury altogether, but that
he endeavored to hold up the fall
ing ground until they could get out
of the way. When asked why he
did not jump away and let the men
take their chances, Mr.. Biggs mod
estly replied: Well, you see, L
knew l could hold the ground
up by catching it instantly; while
if l didn't the men were gone. 1
never thought of the danger to my
self" This almost amounts to he
roism, and many an act much less
courageous has been immortaliZed

under the circumstance but he
will probably have stiff knee JOINT

then completed to point twenty
one miles below Dayton, and within
a half a mile of the proposed
Churchill station, which Is to be
built for the accommodation of the
lower Carson river trade. This sta
ton will be about mile an d half
from the mouth of Churchill Canon,
and will be connected with the main
road to the Big Bend ranches at
Buckland's, by a good wagon road
which the ranchmen propose to con-
struct at their own expense. This
wagon-road will be about two miles
in length.
The track is being laid at the rate
of one mile per day, and is now az
a point about twenty-seven miles
