A Loaded Ore Wagon Buns Dow

A Loaded Ore Wagon Runs Down
Hill Upon . Six.hOrse Team.
William Little. while hauling . load OF
ore from the Home Ticket yesterday, met
with . bad, but unavoidable accident, which
would have been . great deal worse but
for his quick and cool action. While at .
point in Goodwin Canyon, q little above
the Silver Peak Tunnel, where the road is
rather steep, one OF the iron pins Of the
brake by some mischance flew out OF
place, and the wagon, which was heavily
loaded with ore, Immediately became un-
comfortable and rolled down hill onto the
team, throwing the horses forward upon
their knees. Little jumped from the
wagon and hastily snatching some heavy
rocks threw them under the wheels
of the wagon and stopped it, but
only just in time to prevent
the horses, six in number, from being
killed outright. He then extricated his
team and brought them to their stable in
town, whence three OF the horses were sent
of to the ranch, and the other three, being
too badly injured to admit OF their remov-
al, we're allowed to remain. The latter, it
is thought, will never be Of any account
again, as their knee joints are SO badly cut
at the caps that thek nee-water gushed out
OF them. The entire team was estimated
as worth nearly ST. 900, and the loss to
Messrs. Sweeney 4 Kermeen is q serious
ora.

Another Big Hydraulic Pump 70
be Put fm.

Another Big Hydraulic Pump TO
be Pus in.
A contract with the Risdon Iron Works,
San Francisco, says the Enterprise, has
been signed for another big hydraulic
pump. The pump is to be completed
within 100 days. 1t will be Of the same
capacity as that now in operation. 1t will
be placed at . point 10 to IL feet below the
1920 level.
At this place will be constructed q station
% feet wide, IA feet high, and from 90 to
100 feet long. The pump will have upon
it over 200 feet more pressure than that at
the 2400 level. Once 1t is in and ready to
run it will release the Cornish pumps now
in operation below the 2400, and they will
be used below the $500 level to pump up
to the lower hydraulic pump.
The station and foundations for the new
pump will be completed - soon as posi-
BILE, and the several parts of the pump will
be set up as fast as received from below.
Such parts as will be first required will be
first manufactured.
This pump will cost . great deal less
than the first. There will be nc costly
surface engine required, as for the first
pump, nor will it be necessary to put in
new pipe ell the way down. The cost, AZ
divided up among the several companies
interested in the shaft, will be less than
20 cents per share, and will be SO divided
that never as much as seven cents per
share will be required at any one time.
In fact, the cost OF the pump will not be
noticed by the stockholders.
Once the new pump is in the shaft will
probably be sent down TO the 5000 level
before Q halt is made. The putting in of
the new pump and the sinking Of the shaft
to the 1000 level will be Of great advan-
tage to all tho middle mines.

The COlflliOu.

The very pretty dance which used to be
SO popular, even within the memory Of
some Of us who are not yet grey headed, is
about to be revived. 1t has started in
London and will reach us eventually,
though not probably very soon. The
London World says: During the past
week the cotillion has r~eappeared several
times. 1t is q great pity that this gayest
Of dances cannot become Q fixed institu-
ton OF the season. II this were to be the
case it would be worth while for leaders to
come forward and make themselves pro-
ficient in the art Of leading. for ct pres
emit. owing possibly to lack Of opportunity
to practice, 1t is done in q far from salts.
factory manner. 1t is, Of course, difficult
to combine the necessary qualities Of which
knowledge of the figures is only one. An
intimate acquaintance with most Of the
people in society, and . complete imparti.
ality with regard to all the dancers, are
equally needed.

THE KNIGHTS PARTY.

Splendid Entertainment at the
Eureka Opera House.
There was q very large attendance ct the
Opera House last night, the occasion being
a ball given by Beatiic Lodge K. Of P. Of
Eureka to their visitors, the representa-
tives Of the Grand Lodge. The floor OF the
hall was crowded with dancers, while the
gallery was literally packed with spectators.
The hall WAS very prettily decorated with
the insignia Of the Order Of the Knights Of
Pythiss; q pendant Of evergreens in dia-
mond shape, from which was suspended in
paper, "WELcoME TO THE GRAND LODGE"
attracting particular notice. All around
from the lower edge OF the
gallery hung bird cages. containing
each one or two caparies. The birds en-
joyed the festivities hugely and sung Wig
orously with the music OF the band and

march was formed and the evolutions were
made In stately form. The Knights gen.

gala and presented . very martial appear

Sad Accident.

Friday afternoon, says the Virginia
Chronicle, shortly after 4 O'Clock, a de-
plorable accident happened at Fort Home
stead, Gold Hill, which this morning re-
suited in the death Of Johnnie Fulton, q
l2-year-old son Of Ivy Fulton, engineer at
the Utah mine. The occasion was q foot
race between James Sheehy and Pat. Stat
terry, and between $50 and $50 people we're
on the grounds. The race was won by
Sheehy, and a minute after its conclusion
David Hughes, q miner working in the
Grown Point, who was in sympathy with
the victor, pulled a revolver from his
pocket and fred IL in the air, at the same
time shouting and hooting for the victor.
He lowered the pistol, cooked it, and was
about to again raise 1t upwards, when it
was discharged, tho ball hitting young
Fulton (who was standing within three feet
Of the muzzle) i'm the abdomen near the
navel, the ball passing through the vitals
and lodging under the skin OF the back.
The boy fingered until s O'Clock Saturday
morning and then expired.

A Few Brief Notes in Regard to
the Mines Of that District.
Francisco Thoma, who came up from
Stafford Monday night, informs MS that
things are looking we'll in that district.
In the Onondaga they continue in ore as
they sink. They have gone down now
very nearly 100 feet in the prospect shaft,
which 10 still in ore. Rock taken from the
bottom Of the shaft assays $500. The width
Of the ledge at the depth reached is I'M
known, % no prospecting has been done
to find out. The shaft is sunk On the foot
wall all the way down on . slight incline.
but how far off the hanging wall 10 cannot
for the present be definitely known. The
purpose Of this shaft is to determine
whether the Onondaga is q mine, that is.
whether its Immense surface deposit ex-
tends far below. and it will be sunk 500
feet. The shaft is being sunk through .
solid body Of ore, and the daily yield from
it and from stopping the surface bodies is
20 tons. This will yield probably from
$50 to 500 per ton. There are ~ men
working on the mine ct 81 per day. The
recent sensation about the Chinaman who
was employed to load the wagon has
died out and all is quiet again. Weekly

the returns are is unknown.
The Zanoli looks very fine. The drift
from the shaft at 9 depth Of SO feet is in
40 feet. A body Of ore nearly our feet
wide has been followed for this distance.
The ore is yellowish green ~carbonates,
which will average about $50. A drift has
been started from 80 feet below also, in .
southeasterly direction, and pushed nearly
40 feet. The ore body continues as on the
level above in quantity and quality. Still
another drift has been started from the
80-foot level in q northwesterly direction,
which is only in 10 feet, showing the same
mass and character Of ore. No shipments
have been made, and the ore accumulated
lies still on the dump, on which about $50
tons are piled up. worth about GO ounces
per ton.
The mines Of less note are also prospect
ing fairly.
There are some 80 men actively at work
in the camp.

Commissioners Meeting.

At an adjourned meeting held yesterday
morning the Board Of County Commits
sioners granted DIR. G. H. Thoma leave Of
absence from Aug. 10 to the end Of the
month. DR.. James Williams was ap-
pointed to take DR.. Thomas place In
charge OF the County Hospital during the
latter absence. The object of the meet
ing was mainly TO consider the proposition
OF repairing the County Jail. or rather OF
making q new one within the present walls
by taking out the present cells and putting
Others entirely new, Of the beat and most
recent pattern, in their stead. The esti-
mated cost Of this improvement will not be
less than SIC, 900 or $11 900. The con-
sideration OF the matter was deferred for
the present. Some minor matters OF
sewerage were discussed, but no action
taken.
