Last Saturday morning Messrs Kelly
and Moore two miners workingint the Wine
on the 1900 level of the Yuba mine had a
very narrow escape from death. The
Wine in the drift of the 1900 foot level is
down &c feet and the men had put off a
heavy blast of black powder. The force
of the blast blew off the planks that were
put on the top of the Wine for a crossing,
and left the Wine open. A miner in
the back of the drift called to Kelly and
Moore to bring light as his had gone
out; Kelly followed by Moore started to
the end Of the drift, and though they
had their candle lit there was so much
powder smoke in the drift they could
hardly see and Kelly walked right into
the Wine and fell to the bottom, fol.
lowed by Moore who fell on top of Kelly.
Neither was injured to any extent and
both were able to work again in few
days. How two men can fall down a
wnze 36 feet deep and escape with
nothing more than few bruises is a
mystery.
