A DloboIIcaI Deed.
Eureka Sentinel.

A report reached town yesterday
from Secret Canyon that an ingenious
attempt was made at the Page q Cor
win mine to blow up Doc. Hamilton,
who was doing assessment work on
the location. The particulars as we
gather them are as follows On Tues
day Hamilton left his work at the
customary hour. He had drilled a
hole about ten inches deep, in which
he left the drill. Upon returning to
work on Wednesday morning, he
found everything as he had left it the
evening before. lie resumed work
on the hole, but had only struck a
few blows on the drill when terrific
explosion occurred. The drill was
hurled from the hole with great force
and broken in two, and Hamilton was
struck and stunned by the flying
fragments of rock. lie was, how
ever, not seriously I'M jured, receiving
only cut in the ear and a severe
bruise on the leg. Itappears that some
fiend, who has so far escaped the
hungmaU, inserted a stick Of giant
powder into the hole on Tuesday
night and replaced the drill, in order
TO give Hamilton no Intimatlon OF the
murderous plot. The object Of it can
only be conjeetured. 1t vas WELL
planned scheme 10 get rid OF Hamil-
ton, aud came within hairs breadth
of being successful. A rigid exam
ination should be held, anu the mat.
ter sifled down 10 the bottom.

do not pay assessments on mining

not pay them at all, and then the
