uation. They say: Notwithstanding the
fact that the country is in an exceedingly
prosperous state, there ore certain conditions
apparent which call for the exercise of
good deal ofcaution, especially in the man
nerofgranting credits. There is evidentlylan
enormous expansion Of the lines of credit,
which prudent observers view with con.
Siderable apprehension. The system of
dating btlls month ahead has grown to
such magnitude as to practically extend
credit from thirty aud ninety days to
six, and nine months, and ali tho
evils Of large Liabilities extending over long
periods without the possibility OF realization
within the periol fx~d, are gradually be-
coming felt The smaller houses with only
moderate capital are indine it impossible 10
comp. ,te in this respect with large concerns,
and this renders competition uneven and
one.sided. A continuance of these methods
with the national growth of the evil, is more
certain to result in disaster than any other
departure from legitimate business princi.

ready seen in the marked increase of fall

A MINER CRUSHED,
Hurled Under Old Mining Debris
for Over 1S Hours

for Over IS Hours.
Sunday before last the people of the
quiet town of Phoebe missed John Dono-
van, a we'll known miner of regular habits
and proverbial for temperance and indus,
try, and the question passed from one lip
to another, "Where is he 2" 1t was remem-
bered that on Friday preceding the date
given he had gone to the hill facing
the town to do some assessment work on a
mine owned by Gibfried & Brisacher. He
had not been seen or heard of since. A
party of several men went up the hill to
the mine, where they expected to find him.
He was not there, but his lunch bucket,
still filled, was lying near the entrance to
the mine. The party scattered in the i'm
mediate neighborhood, knowing that he
could not have gone far away. They found
his body within 100 yards from where his
lunch bucket lay. He had evidently been
digging near the mouth of an old tunnel
to get out some Of the half-rotten timbers,
probably for fuel, when the whole mass of
wood and dirt caved down upon him. His
head was mashed into a pulp between two
large timbers, but when taken out from
the debris it was found that his body had
not sustained any injury. He had, no
doubt, been caught in the ruins and killed
before moor Of Friday, as his lupch, which
he would have eaten at IL o'clock that day,
was untouched. Donovan was a man be-
tween so and 60 years of age, and an old
Comstock miner. He was a respectable
and useful citizen, and his sad taking of

Dangerous Coasting.

Clark street from above the E. q P. track
down Main street forms a splendid cours-
ing track for boys with good nerves and
good sleds. 1t is a fine exercise, and moth
ing is more exhilarating, not even skating.
The boys, and girls too, are taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered now
for this rare sport, and are on their sleds
day and night. And right here is where
an old man (who never ~coasts) wants to
utter a word of caution, which, if needed,
may save trouble and a precious leg or
arm of lad or lass. This coasting should
not be interfered with, certainly not, but
1t should be INDUCED in very cautiously.
At the crossing where Clark street runs
into Main street the velocity acquired is
very great, and the crossing is one of the
principal th%oroughfares Of the town. The
little coasters should look out that they
do not run into q passing team or take off
the legs Of some persons crossing the
streets. In case OF a collision somebody
would very likely be hurt, maybe seriously
80, and the coasters would probably suffer
most. Last night, az the sleds vent flying
down. the steel on the ruDners struck
sparks from the pebbles, they went down
90 swiftly. A gentleman looking on trem-
bled for the consequence. but nobody so
FAR has been reported crippled. 1t would
not be a bad idea for parents to look a
little into this.

Affected by the Fumes, a Miner
Temporarily T.. scs His Wits.
At the Albion reduction works, Monday
morning, one of the men about the smelters
named Mcdonald crawled into one of the
tunnel fume escapes to put up some lag
ging that had caught afre, and returned
to daylight in a few minutes, almost over
come by the noxious gases he had in
hailed. He was advised not to go back, as
the putting out of the flames was not Of
sufficient importance to warrant his risking
his life in the trial. But after he had par
TALLY recovered he re- entered the tunnel.
This time he was completely overcome, and
had to be brought out more dead than alive.
AS soon as he regained his strength he
made still another trip, contrary to the
orders Of the boss smelter. When
brought out this time by the work
men at the smelters he was taken to the
cover of the blacksmith shop. He came to
slowly, but when he had regained his
strength he became furious, and snatching
up a sledge hammer in a mad fit, would
have Drained the three men who stood
about him. He was overpowered, put to
bed, and in a few hours was all right again
in mind and body. The superstition is that
his excitement was caused by inhaling the
carbonic acid gas, mixed with the lead
fumes-the latter prostrating him, and the
former stimulating his nerves to the de-
gree of what looked somewhat like tenn
porary insanity.
