young in years; but it possesses all the
necessary elements of advancement, and
will soon take position in the front

Baker Democrat: A serious accident
and one which came nearly proving fatal,
occurred at the Nelson placer mine. on
Salmon creek, Wednesday night. The
Cbinamsn who runs the monitor in some
manner dropped the nozzle, and before
be had time to say "Jack Robinson" be
was flying through the air with the We
locity of q Kansas cyclone. Several of
bis brother MoDgolIsns who saw the ac-
cident Immediately turned off the water
and a search for the unfortunate man fol-
owed. When found he was lying in an
UNCONSCIOUS condition with one leg
broken, and besides receiving several bad
bruises on the body bis head was severely
cut, and it is ssld that he could not have
ooked more mutilated If Comancbe

ng knife. Fortunately the Chinaman
was not struck with the full force of the
water, as IN such case it would have been
iifficult to find enough of the white wage
