SURvEYoRs.-Th location survey of
the proposed railroad extension south.
west from Milford was completed last
Thursday between that place and Sheep
Springs east Of Panaca, where one of the
surveying parties is camped. From a

M. V. Wash, from which a branch line
will be run into town here, partly fol-.
lowing the old bed, after which the work
will be continued down Meadow Valley
Wash until the parties are called in. The
line surveyed last summer, north of town
and running via Bristol, will not be fol.
lowed at all by this party.
ACCIDENT. While working in the
Yuba shaft Wednesday night James
Giles met with what came near proving
serious accident. His candlestick fell
down the shaft, and while searching for

bucket, he carelessly allowed his right
knee to project too far out from the rim
when his knee caught against timber
and came near being completely crushed.
The bucket tipped and fatal accident
was narrowly avoided. As it was his
right leg was severely bruised, and he is
now around on crutches.
