FULL OF PERIL.
A Terriblo Adventure In tho Empire Shat
Gold Mine.

n Torriblo Adventure In tho Empire SHAFT
Gold Mine.
About as tight q place az I ever got
into, said d Comstock minor. was some
years ago at tho old Empire Shaft, Gold
Hill. Myself and another man won't
down in tho shaft for tho purpose OF
trimming it up. as tho swelling ground
was squeezing in tho sides and it was O
good deal out of shape.
we were not on IL cage, but simply on
platform OF planks, with ropes going
up from tho corners to tho main cable,
which was OF hemp. Whom we reached
tight place in tho. shaft we stopped
and trimmed out the guides, then wont
on TIL another such place WAS reached.
At one point, having givon tho signal
to lowor, we went down somo Distance
when wo finally stuck. We reached
for the bcll-ropo in order to giyo tho
signal to stop, but we found that it had
wound round q nail some distance above,
and we could not uso it. The ongineor
know nothing Of our trouble, and con-
tinucd to lowor away. There was no
station near, and on all sidos roso the
smooth walls of tho shaft, leaving us
suspended over tho horrible chasm.
DN'' Ppi C'titc LuO ncaVy clDlc.
Wo feared every moment that tho plat
form would turn over or would be
pressed through tho tight place and
drop from under u.s.
All we could do was to got hold Of the
cable and keep the coils of it undor our
feot as it came down. Should tho plat
form turn over or drop from under US
we might be able to save our lives by
banging on to the cable.
Wo shouted up the shaft till VIC wore
hoarse, but no ono heard our cries, and
steadily down came tho cable, causing
us great trouble TO keep on top of its
coils
We felt that the great weight must
soon start tho platform, when both
would most likely be- hurled to tho bot
tom of the shaft.
Finally, to our grca: relief, tho cable
ceased to descend. For o long time we
waited In suspense, not knowing what
would he the next move of those above
At last, however. we heard tho voice of
man shouting down TO us from tho
nearest station above.
We explained our perilous position in
few words, and at length the great
cabio began so crawl slowly up tho shaft
again. Still being afraid tho platform
would give way, We were obliged to
keep hold of tho ropo and dance about
in the coils as they unwound.
1t was 4 tedious business, and WIS all
tho time mat or of tho toss Of cent
whether we got out alive or went to tho
bottom; but at last tho platform tight
onod up under us, and wo began to as
cond- Our work was oven then and wo
felt safo.
On arriving ut tho surface wo found
that the enginoer had concluded that
we were going too far, and hating, or
stopping, his engine, had sent a man
down to the station to find out IL any
thing had gone wrong
l may have been in moro dangerous
places in the Mines but was never in
place whore the danger lasted SO long,
and all tho time up to fever heat. 1t

Humane Way OF Strengthening Cattle
Adopted by the French.
A long whilo ago tho barbarous man
nor OF Strengthening was renowned in
Paris. The mon then employed a deadly
instrument called a "morlin," something
after the style of directory cane, and
heavily loaded with load. With this
they would strike a bullock on the head.
IN tho place whore the majority OF
horned animals have a star, single
stroke sut!icing to perforatc tho frontal
bono and fell it to the ground. But it
often happened that the man missed his
blow; tho animal, scared by tho brand
lshing Of tho merlin, abruptly pulled
back its head, the weapon did not carry,
and the bullock, half killed only, fled
in agony. A butcher sought for and
found means of shortening useless suf-
foring, and the apparatus which. from
its name, is called tho 'masouo
Bruncau,' has been imposed on slaugh-
tcrcrs by the municipalities of several
large cities in France, Germany and
belgium. NJ. Bruncau masks the ami

behind the ears of beast in such n man

puts the animals head :nto position by

slaughteror places tho bolt to tho holo
Of the mask, and with a single blow with
a heavy mallet he drives it into tho
skull The OK falls. a boy rushes up.
and into the small hole that the bolt has
just pierced, he pushes long and bloody
cane, and hardly has it touched the spi-
nal marrow than tho convulsive move
ment ceases, the animal being killed as
quickly as from stroke Of lightning.
The Bruneau mask is now almost uni
versally adopted in French abattoirs
but there is oLe category Of butchers
who have always been against it's adop-
ton. These are rabbi adherents to re.
ligious ceremonies as old as the prom

bullock down; tho animal is brought
to them with it's front uncovered, the
legs are bound, and the animal is thrown
down on its back and raised little from
tho ground with wiEdlass in such a
mannor that 1T presents its throat to tho
front well extended. Then the slaurb-

IMPORTANT INVENTION.
= New Process for the Application of Zinc
to Iron.

= New Process for the Application of Zinc
to Iron.
by now and interesting process, zinc
is row applied to iron in such a manner
as to prevent liability of the zinc bocom-
ing detached, besides imparting to the
metal the property of taking polish or
being galvanized with any desired me-
tallic coloring. In accomplishing this
result the iron is first cleaned by being
subjected to the action of Il rnordant,
after which it is drawn through solu-
tion OF chloride of zinc, 4 little ammonia
Il thrown upon it, and immersion in tho
zinc bath follows. The apparatus for
;i.is purpose is placed near the heating
appliance being SO constructed that two
rotating cylinder brushes are placed ovor
the vessel containing tho zinc, and can
DO brought nearer to or removed from
zach other in Il horizontal position, evcn
during their rotation. When the iron
Jiato is to be placed in tho zinc bath, tho
brushes are moved sufficiently far apart
to allow OF this being done. Tho iron re-
mains in the bath until it has assumed
the temperature of the contents tho
metal is then lifted ont of the bath sufli-
ciontly for tho upper portion to reach
the middle of the steel cylindrical
brushes, which are put into rotary mo-
ton by the mechanism and arc brought
SO near each othor that both sides of tho
metal arc subjected to their action.
Their velocity is regulated by their dis
TANGO from the surface of the zinc bath
and by the thickness of tho metal to be
treated. Tho supcrfluous zinc is removed
by the brushes while in soft condition.
so that only the clean zinc-alloyod layer
is visible after the operation. This layer
is not coating Of zinc, but is tho orig
inal surface Of the iron. and therefore
inseparable from it. Not only does it
perfectly resist all influences of temper
ature, but it can be heated without in
juring the layer Of iron and zinc alloy.
