Two Miners Lose Their Lives in Mono
County.


BRIDGEPORT, December 18TH Judge John
Mat.ey has arrived from Mono lake and Lundy,
bringing news that William Robinson, miner,
had been found dead on the dump OF the G ifton
mine near Lundy. Robinson's partner Jacob
Weaver, is thought to be dead inside the tun-
nel The cause of the deaths is believed to
have been the premature explosion of giant
powder.
Archie McNabb arrived this morning from
Lupdy, bringing additional news ia regard to
the deaths of William Robinson and Jacob
Weaver. They were killed by snowslide in
stead of an explosion of p2ya6ier. as al first sup
posed. Weaver was foun9fjive buried under
the broken timbers and debFf of the cabin in
which they lived. Both legs and one arm were
crushed by the timbers and were frozen. He
was sensible when found and said he thought
he had been so confined for FIVE days since the
slide occurred During that time he had gotten
hold of a hand-saw, and while trying to free
himself of the fallen timbeIs had nearly sawed
frozen arm from his body without feeling it.
When he was released the rescue party started
with him to town, but he died before they had
reached the foot of the mountain.
The statement that Robinson was found on
the dump of the mine was a mistake. His
mangled body was found about 500 feet down
the mountsin side, below the cabin where it
had been carried by an avalanche OF snow
and rccks.
Both men were buried at Lundy to-day.

Use force, and attempted to get her to swallow
something from vial which he produced, and

five times, each shot taking effect One ball is
thought to have passed directly through her
heart, and she died almost instantly.
Vincent was at once arrested and taken TO the
County Jail, where, from his acts. it was
thought he bad taken poison after killing his

saying he had done the best thing possible un-
der the circumstances.
The Jail is strongly guarded tonight to pre-
vent q possible lynching.

SUBSIDY BILL.
1t Will Be Very Beneficial to the Pacific
Coast.

WASHINGTON, December 1Sth.-Friday is pri-
yate bill day in the House, but ii is probable
that it will not be observed as such, and that
consideration of the subsidy bill will be re-
sumed In this case Morrow will address the
House. He thinks that the Pacific Coast will
derive more benefit from the passage of the
subsidy bill than any other section of the
country.
at may not be generally known" said he, to-
night, that next to New York City, San Fran
cisco, Puget Sound, and even Honolulu, har-
bors more American ships than any other
points of this country. There is more Ameri-
can tonnage than in Philadelphia, Boston, or
Baltimore. The passage of the subsidy bill
will prove an inestimable benefit to San Fran
cisco and the entire Pacific coast. Business
will receive tremendous impetus, and ship
ping will be brisk between our shores and the
hundreds of little isles in the Pacific"
