Terrific Explosion.

San Francisco, June 9.-The most
terrific explosion that ever took place
in this neighborhood occurred in the
great giant powder works at Highland
Station, just beyond West Berkeley
this morning. There were five explo-
sions in all. There is great damage
done in West Berkeley. Several
buildings are wrecked and not win
dow is left in any house. The shock
was distinctly felt so miles away.
One hundred and eighty lives are
thought to be lost.
In San Francico the explosion Gre
ated the greatest excitement and the
people rushed wildly into the streets,
thinking it was an earthquake.
A later report given out at 3:45 in
the afternoon states that but five dead
we're found, three being white men,
and the belief prevails that this is the
extent of the fatality.
The latest reports received in the
evening from the scene of the explo-
sion shows that it has been definitely
ascertained that only five persons lost
their ives-three white men and two
Cinnamon. A number of Cinnamon
and several white persons were more
or less seriouly injured. The loss of
the works is 100000. It is believed
the loss in San Francisco from the
breaking of glass and windows will
reach $40, 900, though the explosion
was ten miles away.

A Fortunate Escape.

A most fortunate escape from in
slant death last Sunday evening was
that of Irene, the two and half year
old child of the editor of this paper.
It was little after 6 o'clock, shortly
after the family has left the dinner
table. The child went out and cross
ed the street and was returning as
Mr.. Jolly drove up in his big carryall,
with his wife, Mrs. John Weber and
children. No one saw the child until
the horses were on it, knocked it down,
and those who witnessed it say the
wheels passed over it's body. At this
moment the team was stopped and
all was confusion. Everyone expect
ed the child was killed or would die in
few minutes. Tender hands raised it
from it's PROSTATE position, bleeding
about the head and face, before the
parents knew of what had happened.
When brought in the parents were hor-
ror-stricken, and from the account
given of the accident felt that the child
must die. After washing the blood,
dust and gravel from it's head and
face, it was found that it had been
struck behind the right ear, most prob
badly by the wheel, and thrown on its
left cheek into the gravel which was
imbeded in the skin. The injury be-
hind the ear proved to be simply an
abrasion of the skin. An examina-
ton of the child's body showed no
sign of injury below the head. AS
the child cried hard and was at no time
iusensible we had strong hope the in
jury was not serious, and thank God,
it has SO proved to be, for, with the ex-
ception of the bruise on the head and a
sore face, little Irene is now all right.
The accident was one of those which
often occur, and no one was to blame,
and the escape nothing short of a
Providencial favor.
The editor of this paper and his
wife are kindly impressed with feelings
of gratitude to the many kind friends
who called Immediately to offer then
aid and sympathy in what they thought
was surely the saddest hour the parents
hearts can feel.

The Cyamtde Process at Work Ia Ely.

The CyaMtde Process at Work Ia Ely.
The Ely Mill and Mining Company
have just completed cyanide works
at their mill here They have put
in four tanks of Bottom capacity each.
A tramway with car attached is rig
ged up with water power to carry the
tailings from the dump to the tanks.
High up above these tanks is the cyan
ide tank which is connected with the
other tanks by pipe. This is ar
ranged SO as it can be used on the bat
terry pulp when working ore as well as
on tailings. The plant is very sim
pie piece of mechanism, and if it
proves equal on a large scale to what
it has done on small tests the Ely M.
& M. Co. have good thing on their
failing pile alone. They have con-
structed neat and substantial struc-
ture over the plant, and week or SO
will satisfactorily determine whether
the process is all that is claimed for it.
To Mr.. James McOmie, a member of
the company, the NEWS man is in
dabted for the courtesy of showing
4 n through the works and explaining
it, mode Of operation.

Well Spoken OF.

Hon. A. J. Spencer, forwarding
agent of the Southern Pacific at To-
ano, who was here a few days this
week, informed us that he has travel
ed considerably of late, and every
where he went he heard Robinson
District highly spoken of. The only
fear mining men entertained about the
district is the bugaboo of the pending
Joanna law suit. While other camps
in Eastern White Pine, he says, are
attracting some capital at moderete
figures, all are ageed that Robinson
District is the coming field for the
greatest mineral production in this
section of the State. Once the cloud
of litigation is lifted from the dis
trict capital is ready to come in and
take hold of the great mineral wealth
it is every where conceded our district
possesses.
This calls to our mind the fact that
in few days or weeks at the furthest,
the Joanna suit ought to be decided,
and the incubus it has thrown over
this camp removed. We believe all
the legal steps in the case have been
gone through in the U. S. Circuit
Court at Carson, and all that is now
awaited is decision from Judge
Hawley. Whichever way the case is
decided, it is not probable an appeal
will be taken.

A FUND FOR MRS. CASSIDY.
Ono Big silver Dollar from Every
Man ia Nevada.


A gentleman from the western part
of the State called at the NEWS office
few days ago and during converse
ton on general matters the subject OF
the sudden death of Hon. Geo. W.
Cassidy came up. Our friend from
the West told us the saddest feature
about his death was that his widow
was left penniless, Mr.. Cassidy hav-
ing no insurance ON his life. Our
friend minated that it would be a
graceful and grateful act for the people
of Nevada to raise fund by public
subscription for the widow, and asked
the editor of the News if he would
take the initiative in the matter and
start subscription list.
We told our friend from the West
that his idea was good and we heartily
approved of his plan, but thought it
were better to start the movement in
a more central and populous locality,
but he insisted we should take the
initiative and start the subscription.
Before laying our plan for raising
the fund before the public it is in place
to say that Mr.. Cassidy in his life
time was generous, opened-hearted
man, always ready with purse and pen
to contribute to every good work. He
was the ablest champion of the miner,
the mechanic and the working class
generally the State has ever had. His
voice, pen and press was ever ready
to uphold the right and condemn the
wrong, even when it was financial loss
to the paper he conducted. No one
knows all this better than the brethren
of the press of Nevada, and to them we
would submit the plan for raising a
fund for the widow.
One big silver dollar from every
man in the State who can afford and
never miss it would make fund OF
$50, 900, which would place the widow
beyond present or future want. This
would be practical way of showing
our appreciation of the worth and es-
TEEN in which we hold our departed
friend and fellow citizen. We believe
there is not man in Nevada who
would not cheerfully give dollar tc
such fund.
Now, our plan is this: We would
ask every newspaper in the State to ACT
as solicitor and local treasurer for the
fund.
We would suggest George S. Nixon
of the Silver State and cashier of the
First National Bank of Winnemucca,
act as general treasurer, to whom local
treasurers would report and remit.
What say our brethren of press
Will you take hold and second our
effort in a most worthy cause? We
feel confident you will.
The first dollar towards the fund
has been placed in our hands by G.
j. Boskowitz of San Francisco.

and no serious danger is apprehended.

The Cause Of Geo. When tley's Death.
From the Phoebe Record we CLEAN
the following particulars of the cause
of the death of George Wheatley :
Last Thursday night at the Yuba
mine at about quarter to twelve, a
cave of earth occurred between the
ninth and tenth levels in a stope in
which three men were at work.
George III. Wheatley, A. J. jacobson,
and Peter Matsen were all injured,
ard from the effect of which Wheat
ley died on Monday, the 4th instant.
The injured men were putting in
an ore shute in ground newly exposed.
Before beginning work the walls were
carefully sounded as is the custom and
all appeared solid and safe. Sudden
ly mass of rock weighing five or six
tons, slipped from the wall of the
ledge, fell about six feet, knocked out a
set of timbers just in place and struck
the three men down. Wheatley was
pinned to the ground and his right
leg broken between the ANGLE and the
knee. No other injury was observed
on him. Matsen had small toe
nearly severed from his foot, while
jacobson was thrown across the shute
and practically buried. 1t was thought
at first that he was killed outright,
but on being extricated nothing worse
than very severe bruises, covering the
whole of his body could be found.
Jacobson and Matsen are rapidly i'm
proving and will be out in weeks
time.
Wheatley when taken home was
cheerful and laughing and spoke of
being out again in a very short time.
In the afternoon of the succeeding day,
however, fever set in, change for the
worse took place, his mind wandered,
and he imagined himself back at the
scene of the accident. Nor did he
again recover consciousness. He con-
tinued to sink and passed away on
Monday morning about eight o'clock,
from the shock to his nervous system,
it is thought, more than from the in
jury to his body.
He was buried under the auspices of
the Masonic order, of which he was
member.
