and though we retired into the drift
again we had bat little hope. There was
enough soil aud rock to fill the ravine
ten feet deep, and Of course We should
be blocked in. There were crevices in
the overhang. Iuto some they drove
wedges and inte others they put powder,
and at about o'clock the whole mass
came tumbliny into the ravine with q
mighty crasa.
In an instant all light was shut out.

fall to shut off the air, and finding that
it did not do SC rehshted the candle
and crept to the opening. II was not
blocked by . rock. as | feared would be
the case. but by brush and dirt. and
there was enough air coming in to Hare
the light.
There was something hopeful in that.
and vet we were in bad tx. We had
each slaked our thirst from the water
dripping down the rocks before enter
ing the drift, but there was none to be
had inside. Our provisions consisted
only of -four and raw pork. and we knew
that we had from eight TO ten feet to go
to get TO the surface OF the debris. We
had a pick and shovel, but the draw
backs were so serious that it was hours
before we set to work IN sarnes.

We did not leave our shelter till MOI

gone. No doubt they felt sure they had
put an end to us, and but for the cloud
burst we should have left our bones
there. We got away to Austin and of
fered our mine for thousand dollars
five hundred-one hundred. No one
wanted it at any price. Years after,
when rediscovered and properly entered,
IT sold first for sl5,O 900. then for s2s, 600,
then for 10000, then for 1926. 900, and
three months later an offer of half u

Poet. and the Nightingale.

Most of the poets who have sung the
praises Of the nightingale are said to have
made two mistakes about the bird. In
the first place they write rs if it were the
hen bird that was the beautiful singer,
and In the second most Of them represent
her as singing" either ION the topmost
oough" or upon the wing" People who
are not poets, however, claim that the
lActs are quite otherwise. IL is the male
bird that causes the woods to resound
With melody. and his favorite perch is a
ow twig close TO the ground, his song be
ng addressed to his mate as she sits on
tne eggs. After the young have been
oatched the song ceases, the energy Of the
Vocalist being all taken up in providing
lor the wants of the 'nestlings.

ly wounded.
Last evening Young Hyde was ut
the lower End Of town, not far from
the mine, when quarrel ensued be.
tween him and Sullivan anu Collins.
Just how II began could not bo ascer-
talnod from Eureka today, though 1t
grew out Of the feeling exhibited by
the union miners against the non.
union employees at the mine.
1t isBtatcd that during the alterca.
ton one OF the two union men made
nn assault upon Hyde, who drew
his pistol to defend himself,
anu bred. The ether miner then
shot at Hyde, the ball passing
through his intestinos. The wounded
man returned the fire, infliotlng a
slight Injury on his second assailant,
as he had done on tue iirst.
Collins anu Sullivan were placed
under arrest, anu an investigation viii
be made into the circumstances Of the
shooting. Hyde was taken care of,aud
to-day was resting easily, but the hopes
VI his recovery are not very strong.
After the shooting, excitement In
Eureka ran very high. An officer
oame TO town anu reported tho condl.
ton OF affairs TO u. =. Marshal Ben.
ton, who took force OF fifteen deputies,
and at 2;8O this morning departed from
this city on special Union
Pacific train for Eureka. On
the arrival OF the officers there all
was quiet, and tony tho excitement
moderated some, though the danger Of
further trouble Is not yet past. There IL
talk among the nOn.uniOn men OF COM
BLAZING and arming In order TO defend
themselves against the union men,
though tho presence VI the marshal's
force may obviate the necessity OF
such u proceeding. The prote,tations
OF the local officers that they could
control Rilaire, and the declarations Of
the striking miners that they would
not engage In law lessnese, caused n
withdrawal OF part OF the marshnps
deputies, MS matters promised to
go along quietly. 1t Is now
promised, however, that vigorous
measures will be adopted to provide
for the future.
