silver Mine Abandoned.

LEADvILLE, COL. July 19.-Orders have
been received to take out the pumps from
the great Main and Henrietta Combina-
tion. The shaft is nearly 1000 feet deep.
The pulling of the pumps means tho entire
abandonment of ono of the largest silver
produce 9 in the state. with prospects that
water will rise to within 400 feet of the sur
face. This means that every drift and level
will be flooded and the entire ruin of the
present workings. upon which $1,000 900
have been expended. The flooding of tho
mine also means the flooding of properties
lying below 1t. 1t is impossible to estimate
the damage that will be caused.

tho conclusion was reached that the Vic

the outside Of the division which was being
led BY the Campsrdown. Had this as
sumption been founded ON fact the man
euver would have been attended by no
danger.
The real admiral stated that he was cog
nizant of Vice Admiral Tryon's MONOGRAM
dunn in regard to discretionary obedience
OF orders whom strict obedience would en-
tail disaster. When the signal flying on tho
Victoria was hauled down the Camperdown
was powe less to avoid tho disaster.
Rear Admiral Markham also said II his
order to 10 full speed astern had been
obeyed the damage inflicted on the Victoria
would not have been SO great. When ques-
toned as to his placing two meanings on
the signal, he said when the other captains

prsted 1t in the same way he did.
Il am sure l could have done nothing to
prevent the collision after the Victoria and
Csmperdown had turned their bows to each

screws the EdinburR would have Eammsd
