An Underfaker's Belief shat People
are Often Buried Alive.
1.-THE world would be Mortified" said
William 8. MCCARTHY, an Eastern under
taker to q New York Sun reporter recently,
"if it knew the number OF bodies that are
buried before life Is extinct. Once in q
while one of these cases comes to light, but
no steps are taken to prevent their gseur-
rence.
Something that happened to me about
twelve years ago has worried me ever since.
/ was sent for n day to take charge Of the
body Of q man in Division street. The man
was Q tailor, and had fallen over while sit.
ting on his bench sewing. He was Q big,
fieshy man. about 40 years Of age, and
weighed about $50 pounds. The body was
warm and the limbs were limp. ! did not
believe the man was dead, and said 30.
His friends told mt that Q physician had
pronounced him dead. l was ordered to
put the body on ice at once, but l delayed
this operation, on q pretext or another,
for nearly two days. During this time
the body lay on the bench in the little
shop. Finally / could delay no longer.
The limbs were still as limp as when /
first examined the body. l prepared
the body for burial and the next day
it was buried. I do not believe that man
was dead when the earth was shoveled in
on his coffin. II the same thing was TO
happen again / would let somebody else do
the buryiDg.
about the same time q young woman
living up town WAS supposed TO have died
very suddenly. A physician was called in.
He said she was dead. An old woman
who was present thought otherwise, and
insisted upon it that she was in . trance.
The body was buried. A few weeks later
the old woman determined to satisfy her.
self about it and bribed the ~gravediggers
TO disiater the coffin. The lid was re-
moved and . horrible sight was seen. The
young woman had come to life and had
made q terrible struggle for liberty. Her
hair was torn out and her face was fright
fully scratched. She had turned over on
her face.
"a person is generally believed to be
dead after there is no action Of the heart
or the pulse. But il q person is in q
trance there Is no action Of the heart or
pulse. A vein should be opened. II
blood flows. the person is not dead. This
operation would take about thirty seconds,
but 1t is not often resorted to. Suppose
the person is suffering only from q tempe
rary suspension Of animation. Before he
can recover the use of his faculties an
undertaken comes in, and he is put in an
ice box. where whatever life there may
have been in him ia frozen out. The
Board Of Health should take hold Of this
matter and devise some means OF ascer-
tanning beyond all doubt that life
is extinct before the body is buried.
/ have thought OF . good many different
means. A receiving vault could be built
in every cemetery, where bodies could be
placed until decomposition had begun,
when they could be buried"

OF milling ore the past week.
The Eldorado, one OF the Dunderberg
properties, sent in the other day 81 tons
Of ore.
The Wide West mine on Adams Hill
shipped IN tons Of ore to the Richmond
furnaces on Thursday last.
The Williamsburg mine on Adams Hill
is looking well. The tributers working
there sent in the past week 6k toms Of good
ore.
Improvements are still going on at the
Richmond works. The amount of custom
ores received there 10 greater now than
ever.
The Geddes q Bertrand Co., whose proper
ties are In Secret Canyon, sent to the Rich
mond reduction works yesterday az tons
OF ore.
The Dug Out property on Prospect
Mountain is yielding some ore, and on
Thursday last 5 tons were sent to the re-
duction works.
The new water-jacket furnace for the
Eureka Con. reduction works is on its way
from San Francisco. and will probably
arrive here in q few days.
The Eldorado No. 2. q property ON Pros
pect Mountain close to the Eureka Tunnel,
shipped to the Richmond furnaces the past
week 6 tons Of ore which will mill upwards
OF 5000 a ton.
The tributers in the Bowman are doing
well, but owing to the trouble between
some Of them and the Union miners only
ga tons Of ore was shipped TO the Rich

Quite . number Of properties on Adams
Hill are being worked by their wners
That section alone is sufficient to guarantee
for many years TO come prosperity for Eu-
reka. Most Of the ore being extracted
there is from 9 depth Of 20, rs and 80 feet.
The Eureka Con. mine IL, to say the
least, looking we'll. Considerable ore is
being extracted from several levels.
The Williams pitch on the 7th level is
yielding we'll, and in order to ascertain the
size of that body Of ore arrangements are
being made TO make an upraise from the
8th level.
The town OF Eureka is undoubtedly see
ing the worst times she will know for many
years to come. For proof. one has only to
visit the two large reduction works in
town and see the improvements going on,)
which will soon be completely for the
better handling and working OF ores;
then visit 10 or 20 Of the producing mines
near by.
The Lord Byron and Silver Lick mines
are looking and producing we'll. Aside
from the Eureka Con. and Richmond prop
critics, they are said to be the most promis-
ing In the district. The former shipped to
The Richmond furnaces the past week some
so tons Of ore. one shipment Of which will
go over 500 9 ton. The latter sent in 56k
tons. several tons Of which will mill over
$500 Q ton.
