THE ACCIDENT AT WARD.
Wm. Trescott and Jacob Henry the
Injured Parties.

Ward Reflex
Wednesday evening last at ) o'clock q re-
port reached town that Jacob Henry and
Nm. Prescott. while searching for a charged
hole in a cut which failed 10 go off, had acci-
dentally exploded it and that both men had
their their eyes blown out. Fortunately their
injuries are not so bad MS at first reported
the hope being entertained that Prescott will
recover The sight of one eye and Henry pos
sibly both.
III, preceding shit u. C. & Thomas Ed
ward gave notice on he slate, kept for that
purpose, that Que hole had missed fire, and
Henry and Irescntt proceeded TO th, ir work
accordingly. After taking out nearly all the
loose rock and dirt they commenced search
ing for thu hole tn 1t had failed to go off. The
gro I'D ia which tho eharg, had been placed
had bon partially blown away aud this left
than in doubt. Prescott finally took a pick
and while removing the loose earth with it
the OK .losiOn occurred, blowing a mass of
lne dirt in their faces and leaving them in
darkness. Both were stunned, but not rCn-
dered insensible, and in cropping their way out
attracted The attention Of Pat CrUtty and
John Martin in the crosscut, who came TO
their assistance and piloted them out of the
tdnnel. Jacob Henry walked home, a dis
TANGO of half a mile, and VIM. Prescott was
taken to his cabin pear by. 1t has since been
ascertained that only that portion of the
charge that was broken of and in the loose
DIRT Wa exploded, that part in the hole being
found intact
Mr.. Henry, though considerably cut about
the face b. small particles OF rock and totally
blinded for a ii ne in the right eye. which is
still a matter Of grelt concern to him, will
doubtless soon b at him self again, but cam
not soon forget the close call he had. lie was
standing behind Prescott at the time of the

Montana a Poor Country to Go TO-.

those of Butte. and the placer mines. Some
how, there is O good deal Of blow, but little
stuff. L don't see anything coming to the sur

The contractors, who are running

We learn that the ore is improving as

The discovery thus far does not
amount TO much in itself, il is consid-
cred by parties conversant with the

tons at all points are of the most en-
couraging nature.

Railroad from Wells to Wood River

The Wood River News il authority
forthe statement that the construction
OF another line of railroad through to
Wood River is very probable in the
near future. IL says: Through the
efforts of Il Montana mining manager
a conference Of officials OF the Central
and Northern Pacific was effected last
week. The result of the conference
is most satisfactory. The G. p. are to
commence the construction of a line
from Humboldt Wells to intersect the
Northern Pacific in Montana. The
proposed new line will skirt the
Wood River mountains, and branch
roads Will run up the valleys of big
and little Wood Rivers, in opposition
To any lines the Union Pacific may
build. The construction of this line
gives the Northern Pacific a direct
San Francisco connection Independent
OF the Union Pacific or Iowa pool
lines"

COMMERCIAL.

DALLAS, March S.-The unprecedented
wet weather of the last two months is hay
ing a depressing effect upon business, not
in the south alone, but it is being seriously
felt in the north, and especially with those
who have extensive transactions in the
southern and western states. SO far, Texas
has suffered from this cause probably less
than any one of the other states in which
excessive rains have fallen. There have
been no floods and no damage from high
waters, and yet the agricultural interests
are delayed and planting retarded, in CON
sequence. The roads, too, are in such a
condition that planters are not permitted
to market the cotton still remaining in their
hands, nor the farmer to haul his grain over
them. All this Of course has direct effect
upon commerce and trade, and it is q source
OF qualification to know that while the bus
mess of Dallas has not entirely escaped the
general depression all over the country, the
wholesale transactions have been far in ex-
cess of those of year ago, when the
weather was all that could be desired The
retail trade has been injured more from the
causes above stated than the jobbing bus.

the expectations of the merchants them
selves

On the 25th of January the House
passed a resolution introduced by Rep
resentative Bedford, of Colorado, calling
on the Secretary of the Treasury for a
statement of the number of ounces of
silver bullion purchased each month, the
price paid and the number of dollars
coined each month from the beginning
of March, 1878, to the end of December,
1881. The director of the mint, through
the Secretary of the Treasury, respond
ed to this few days ago, and from the
statement submitted to the House it ap
pears that of the forty-six months COW
cred by the resolution there were twenty
two months during which the pur-
chase of silver bullion amounted
to less than a million dollars worth,
aud that there were three months
during which less than two million
dollars were coined. 1t also appears that
of the forty-six months there were only
four months during which over two mil
lion and a half dollars were coined.
Nothing could more clearly show that
the policy of the Treasury Department
has not been liberal in the coinage of
silver. Mr.. Bedford and others insist that
there has been in this matter frequent
violations of the law, which declares that
the Secretary of the Treasury shall pur-
chase from time to time silver bullion al
the market price thereof, nc less than
two million dollars worth Ger month,
nor more than four million dollars worth
per month; and cause the same to be
coined monthly as fast as so purchased

Senator Vance, of North Carolina, in
his recent admirable speech in the Sen
ate in opposition TO the protective tariff
made telling hit on Senator Morrill,, of
Vermont. 1t seems this latter Senator
had, in his late ultra protection speech,
taken the ground that protection should
be so high as to literally force this coun.
try to rely solely on home trade. He
wished the farmers of the South to grow
the home market-that is, the New
England factories-and for the farmers
of the West to grow no more provisions
than would feed the operatives in those
factories, while the great benefits of a
foreign market were to be permitted to
slip from our hands. This delightful con
dition of affairs the Senator from North
Carolina aptly illustrated by legend
mot in the Talmud." This legend says
that the three Hebrew children, Shadrach,
Meshach and Abednego, while in the fiery
furnace, and excluded from all competi-
ton with foreign paupers, snapped jack
knives among themselves until each one
had made dollar and a half and got the
best iackknife. 81 commend this illus
trious instance of the benefits of home
market" says the Senator, ''to the pray.
erful consideration of the Senator from
Vermont"

According to Washington special the
Wavs and Means Committee devoted
their meeting Thursday morning TO
discussion of the programme for tariff
legislation. and it was decided not to call
up the tariff commission bill in the
House until Tuesday next The COM
mittee originally waived its rights, to
enable the House to dispose Of the Mill
tary Academy and the Indian appropris-
ton bills. The greater part of the
week having passed, 1t was agreed
that the diplomatic and consular bill
should not be opposed by the
commission bill. When the measure Is
called up this week it will have a clear
field. and the Senate can work on the
three appropriation bills passed by the
House. The Ways and Means Commit
Tee also decided not to consider any mat
ters affecting the tariff or internal reve-
nue from this time until the commission
bill is disposed of. A majority Of the
committee is of the opinion that the bill
will be defeated, in which event they
will Immediately begin the preparation
of a measure to revise the tariff. The
debate on the commission bill promises
TO be long and animated, and it will
probably show whether there is dispo-
sition on the part of members to reform
the tariff at the present session.
