A BATH,
Or she Disadvantage OF Toying
New Ex periments.

Or the Disadvantage OF Trying
New Experiments.
A singular and amusing incident hap
pened at the LOGAN Shaft yesterday morn
ing, in order to understand which this
explanation must be given. To change
the upper clack it Is necessary to let the
water out of . 11-inch column 600 feet
high. Any one familiar with the princi-
pies OF hydraulic pressure knows that the
force with which water issues at this depth
is tremendous. 1t has been customary for
the men down in the shaft to stand q little
below or on q level with the violent Jet and
take the water as it comes. Johnny
Curran, however, thought he would try an
experiment. He got up q little higher on
the platform than Is customary, calculat-
ing that the water would strike him below
or at the knees. But contrary to his calcu-
lations. ii struck him about midships-
higher than he had anticipated. II lifted
the tails Of his in~diarubber coat and the food
played on his unprotected backbone for full
" Is minutes. The water is very cold and at
the end Of the bath he was chilled to the
marrow Of his spine. The other fellows
who had been content to take the newt
able bath higher up on the head and
shoulders, and without ambition to dodge
the shock, looked on upon this circus play,
their sides ready to burst with laughter at
Johnnie's expense, for after he had once
got into the attitude he had assumed he
was bound to retain it until the entire
column had been discharged, for II he had
let go his hold of the timbers he would
have been thrown into the stump below.
The lesson he has learned 10 not to be am
bilious to try any experiments In by
draulics in the future.

The Lower California Gold Excite.
ment.

The Lower California Gold Excite
The Tombstone Epitaph says: 1t now
transpires than the recent Lower Califor-
mia gold excitement originated in the
following manner Three enterprising
Mexicans, residents Of Guaymas, conceived
the idea Of making q few honest pesos at
the expense of their gringo neighbors.
Knowing that placer gold in limited guam
titles was to be had among the Indians Of
the peninsula, they sent an agent over
there with instructions to purchases col
lection Of nuggets and coarse gold. This
being done, they deposited the samples in
conspicuous places in Guaymas, and COM
menced to disseminate broadcast stories
of the fabulous richness Of newly dis
covered placers on the peninsula. As
soon az the excitement had begun to kim
die and spread, the stories being exsgger-
ated by each repetition, the schemers pur-
chased three ship loads Of provisions and
miners supplies and sailed for Trinidad,
the point OF debarkstion for the diggings.
Not doubling that . crush" would ensue,
their plan was to outfit, at fancy prices,
the gold hunters on their arrival at Trini-
dad. The scheme was evidently . good
one. and bound to be successful. but the
result only proved the old adage that
| "there's many slip 'twixt cup md lip
The excited gold-seekers, mo- knowing thai
| supplies could be had on the other side Of
| the gulf, with scarce an exception pur'
| chased their outfits at Guaymas, and when
| they landed at Trinidad, to the intense dis
| gust OF the greaser spectators, did no
even stop to inspect or price their goods
| The result il that a large and carefully
| selected stock OF miners supplies can nov
be purchased at Trinidad at ruinously low
pricea.

Ahe close Call OF q Miner in h
Eureka Con. SUNNI.

VI - ml0eE Id HMI
Eureka Con. stump.
About 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon,
while the miners were timbering in the new
smart OF the Eureka Con-, they missed one
Of their number. They did not know at
nrst who it was. but they were greatly con-
cerned to find that one Of their number
had disappeared. They wondered where
10 the world he had gone to. He could
not have assembled, for there was no cage
10 take him, and they could not think be
was below, because they themselves were
on the lowest timbers, and there was
nothing below them but is feet of water
IN the stump. All the while there was
such . noise OF water pouring in q torrent
from 800 feet above that nothing could be
neard. Becoming alarmed upon not see-
ing their comrade appear they set to work
looking for him. After examining all
other points one man happened to think
mat the lost miner, now turned out to be
John Mathews, might be in the stump be-
low. They looked for him down there,
and sure enough they found him clinging
to the sinking pump column and nearly
drowned. One of the force went down to
"A' ecea9eonco nnu Hieu W pun ulm outS
but after lifting him up part Of the way he
found that he too was losing his hold, and
he let him go, that there might not be two
men drowned. Then a rope was dropped
down to the half suffocated Mathews. He
took hold and by q strong pull altogether
from above he was hauled up outof the
pit OF water. in which in q few minutes
more he would have found his exit beyond
the river, for he had become SO weak and
the noise Of the splashing waterfall WAS 30
great, that his feeble cries for help could
not be heard above the din. Lucky man.

From reliable parties who inspected this
mine yesterday we learn that it Is look
ing exceedingly we'll. Although work has
been lone but to a small depth. consider
able ore has been extracted. There are
numerous excavations At and near the
surface, all exposing good ore. The show
ing Of ore for the amount Of work done is
second to none on the mountain and seems

and valuable mine in this property. The
Magnet lies north Of and nearly adjoining
the Eldorado; the ore vein, which can be
traced at the surface for . considerable
distance, has a northerly and southerly
trend. Developments made in tho Eu-
reks Tunnel indicate beyond a doubt that
good ore exists In this mine at great depth,
as the ore body in the Tunnel has been
followed nearly up to the Magnet line.
We have some fine specimens Of rich
gslena ore taken from this claim. The
lucky owners Of this property are two Of
our most energetic pioneer prospectors-
Maurice Hartnett and Alex. Fraser. Their
title is q United States patent. We are
also pleased to learn that Maurice Hart
nett has again struck q fine showing Of ore
