A Young Miner Torn TO Pieces by an

Last Thursday evening, says the White
Pine News, as the men were about to
come off shift at the Blue Belle mine at
Aurum, Thomas Highland met with q ter
rible accident, which caused his death 80
hours afterwards. He had been setting
thought, having failed to ignite the fuse
on one of them, he went back to "re-
snuff" it, when the blast went off and he
received the full force in the head and
side. DR.. Tufford Of this place was imme-
diately sent for and he reached the bed
side OF the Wounded man early next
morning. From the doctor we learn that
the unfortunate mans head, face and arm
were q most horrible sight to behold. On
one side of the head the scalp was torn
loose its entire length, both eyes put
out, the cheek and jawbones laid bare,
the teeth shattered to atoms, and
one arm broken into fragments.
The doctor gave him some potions to ease
his suffering, which, at first, seemed to be
all that could be done for him. But as he
rallied, the work of dressing his wounds
and sewing up the scalp was carried on.
Highland was a man of powerful constitu-
ton and bore up well under the trying
ordeal. retaining his full senses all
through. But his injuries were too much
for human endurance, and at IL O'Clock
Wednesday night death mercifully came to
his rescue and put an end to his suffering.
Highland was a young man who had but
little experience in mining. He hailed
from Philadelphia, and bad been at Aurum
but a short time. having come in there
from Colorado. He has no known friends
in this section. This has been the first
and only accident that ever occurred in
the Aurum mines.

These omissions were an oversight, and no

A Startling Dose.

There is a man in Phoebe. says the
Record, but owing to his extreme bash
fulness we defer mentioning his name,
who has been lying in a precarious con-
dition in bed for three days, when the
doctor called ON him on the afternoon of
the third day and gave him a dose of
medicine. That evening the man arose
from his bed, crawled into q ''biled" shirt
and his best duds, and was legally har-
messed to a running mate, for better or for
worse. Upon D. G. Clark learning the
effects Of this wonderful medicine, he
rushed up to G.. r. A~lexander's drug
store and ordered a dozen doses. He was
soon followed by Louis Kleine, who had
also been taken suddenly sick, and he
ordered two dozen doses. Many of the
other young boys of town have also be-
come suddenly and dangerously i'll, and
are purchasing medicine at 3 lively rate.
Mcmahon writes DR.. Alexander to send
him down two barrels of that kind of
medicine that Bob Fulks (the new groom
has been taking. He knows IL is just
the stuff to cure him.

INVITED TO LEAVE.
The BIind Goddess OF Nye severely
Rebuked.

The citizens of Grantsville. Nye county,
and vicinity, to the number Of about 40,
adopted the following resolutions last
week, and had them published in the
Bonanza with their 81 cultures attached:
Whereas, The laws Of our land are so
mild and susceptible of lenient construc-
ton, and so varied in their application,
that the criminal, regardless of his crime,
is entitled 10 any doubt arising in the
minds of the jury, and
Whereas, BY this doubt Justice is often
thwarted, and the criminal escapes the re-
ward to which be il justly entitled, and
Whereas, We, the citizens Of Grants
vile and vicinity, believing. as we do, that
the acquittal Of s. Rosenthal by twelve OF
his countrymen is a fair illustration OF
these facts, and that justice has been rob-
bed of her dues, and feeling the insecurity
of having such all individual in our midst,
we have therefore
Resolved, That o committee Of five of
our most prominent citizens be appointed
TO wait upon the said s. Rosenthal and
politely inform him that his presence il no
longer needed in our community, and
further be ii
Resolved, That while we deplore the
situation and seeming necessity that COM
PEELED ono William Hemmings to aid by
promises in such a heinous crime, that he
also be informed by said committee that
his resignation as a citizen here will be
accepted.
We. citizens of Grantsville and vicinity,
deeply regretting the necessity that com-
pels us to this action, feel it our duty to
set forth the following facts:
First-It is undeniable that combusti-
bles were arranged systematically, ready
for the torch.
Second-Some one arranged these com-
bustibles.
Third-Evidence shows that both Rosen-
thai and Hemmings were implicated in
placing them there.
Fourth-That we, the citizens, believe
that s. Rosenthal was the i~nstigator and
prime mover in this devilish scheme.
Fifth--That W. Hemmings loaned him
self to aid this most benious crime there
is no doubt; but by giving information at
the most critical moment he undoubtedly
saved Grantsville from being the scene Of
q large c~onaagration.

North Bloomfield Mine-Thc Drift.
ing Process.

The Nevada Transcript says that it is
rumored that the North Bloomfield Min
ing Company will make arrangements to
work their mine by the drifting process,
at least for q time. 1t has been said of the
North Bloomfield that there is q pay
streak OF gravel on the bed rock that will
pay for drifting, but that the entire chan
mel will not pay, and it is = question if
drifting would pay for any great length Of
time. Since the rendering of Judge Saw
yer's decision we have had the opportunity
of interviewing prominent mining men
from the. Ridge" that portion of Nevada
county most largely devoted to hydraulic
mining operations, and they are decided
in the expression that the hydraulic mines
cannot be converted into profitable drift
diggings, and il that is the only resource
left, then is gravel mining virtually
doomed, and any expectation that labor
will be introduced to take the place OF the
hydraulic pipe ID q misrepresentation OF the
situation.

er Tenderiy Thanked by - Sister.
The following letter was received here
yesterday by D. H. Hall. 1t is charming
ly written and will be read with interest
by the friends Of poor Dave Rosenberg,
whose sister is the author of 1t:
WASHINGTON, D.. c., Jan. David 8.
Hall, ESQ.,; Dear Sir: I am in receipt Of
your very kind and prompt answer to my
letter in regard to the death Of our brother
David. When 1 wrote to you we we're 80
much shocked by the news that / did not
write a very coherent letter / am afraid.
A few days after writing to you Mr.. Mer-
rill called on us and from him l first
learned that David had been in bad health
for some time previous to his death,
although last May when Mr.. M. called on
us, having seen David o short time pre-
viously, he told US he was well and gave
us not the slightest hint OF his i'll health.
We had not received q letter from David
for some time, although / repeatedly wrote
to him, but Mr.. Merrill now says that
David did not write Tor fear Of alarming
his brother, whom he knew to be in very
i'll health. 1t is q matter Of great regret to
us that we did not know Of his condition,
although we know he had every attention
that it was possible to give him, but David,
in his unselfshness, wished to spare his
brother. My husband has been a con-
irmed invalid for several years. His eye
sight began to fail about 1870, and since
that time he has not been able to
read or write. In 1877 he had an attack Of
illness, from which he has never fully re-
covered, and 80 often since has he been at
deaths door that we never dreamed of
David going first. This news has COM
pletely Frustrated him, and your kindness
In so promptly answering my letter and
forwarding the mementoes, he deeply ap-
preciates. He wishes me to give his deep
and heartfelt thanks to you and Messrs.
Morton, Pearson, Leventhal, Levy, and
all who have been kind to his brother, and
say that the many sad and lonely hours
he spends will be cheered by the thought
that his brother had SO endeared himself
to you all that he did not suffer for kind
attention, and that You so ministered to
him in his moments OF pain as to have
taken way the sting Of dying without the
loving words and illustrations OF his own
kindred. For the mementoes you sent ne
is deeply grateful. May l ask the addi-
tional favor that you will mail a copy of
the newspaper containing the notice Of
David's death to his sister, Mrs. Ignatz
Stuerck, Neusatz, Hungary? l postponed
writing until l could get some news from
you, and as you were the last he spoke to
/ shall inclose a copy of your letter when I
write. We thank you very much for your
offer to inform US Of anything that may
occur to interest as. We shall always be
interested and concerned to hear from you
and any of the friends Of David.
Again we thank you, and sincerely pray
that God may bless you for your care and
kindness to our dear brother. Truly your
friend, l.. M. ROSENBERG.

rhe Chinese Threatening to Com.
pieteIy Humiliate La Belle
France.
We produce the following dispatch in
this place because the matter 1t contains is
to = great extent Of local nature on ac-
count of the interest felt in any Chinese
question In every community On the Pa
cifc Coast. Those who have watched the
course of the hitherto skirmish war car
ried on by the French in China and give q
moments thought to the situation, will
perceive that offensive operations in that
country can be carried On only with great
difficulty and great loss Of life to the in
vaders. Nor are the Chinese by any
means SO contemplate in battle as they
have been. Within the last few years
they have made great strides in the sci
ence of war and they are partially sup
piled with the very best weapons. When
these things are considered along With the
fact that they will be on the defensive on
their own soil, and that they will come to
the scratch and fight like demons, we are
bound to apprehend that the gallant sons
OF beautiful France have got into serious
trouble. The sympathies Of all civilized
people will, of course, be with the French
in the struggle which, it seems, cannot be
much longer postponed. May the small
est possible number Of Frenchmen fall.
As to the Cinnamon, we have nc tears to
b If they should all be killed. But
this is yesterdays dispatch. which is very
interesting:
NEW YORK. Jan. ia private letter
from q gentleman residing In Canton,
dated Dec. 5, says that China il deter
mined to fight, and that war can be
avoided by France only by backing clear
down to the ground. France has made an
awful muddle of the whole affair. Had
she acted with force at first, Tonquin
would be hers and everything be quiet.
The idea OF occupying q country with only
1000 to 1000 troops is too absurd for
serious contemplation, but that is just
what France attempted. France, by delay
aud for want Of resolution, led China to
believe that fear kept her back,
and this idea took such hold on
China's mind that she will not be
satisfied with anything short of q COM
plete surrender OF the position which
France has assumed. Tonquin troops are
pouring in from the north, and are being
raised here. The writer says a Chinaman
told him the other day: 'It's no use try
ing to get along peaceably with q country
like France, which is the most trouble
some nation that ever existed. China
must rise up as one man and crush the
pride of the French. Germany tried it,
but, although she succeeded in winning
the day, she stopped short Of the mark.
So now it rests with China to complete
the humiliation of proud and arrogant
France"

An Indian Fighter ON the Indian

Gen. Crook, in his annual report on the
condition OF the Indians in the Depart.
ment Of Arizona. very forcibly sums up
the results Of his experience as the most
successful Indian fighter we have, when
he says in substance that either exter.
minstion or justice is the only solution Of
the Indian question. He adds: II can
state unhesitatingly that since the Indians
have learned the strength and power Of
our people, in almost every Indian war
which / have known anything about, the
prime cause therefor has been either the
failure of our Government to make good
its pledges or the wrongs perpetrated
upon them by INSCRIPTIONS whites. This
condition of affairs can no longer con.
tinue. The Indian has now sufficient
knowledge Of the needs of the try
to force us to deal justly with him. and
il he is not 30 dealt with he will &c
