TWO Aoo1DENTs.

Last Sunday, Theo. Hockett while
at work on the we'll at the east pump
ing station met with an accident that
almost cost him his life. He was
working with a gang Of men that
were engaged in excavating reser-
voir in the rock at the bottom Of the
we'll. A mast and boom with rigging
had been erected for taking out the
stone, and were operated by a team
OF horses. An attachment had been
made to very heavy rock, and the
team started, when a supporting guy
rope, snapped IN two and the der
rick fell into the we'll. Mr.. Hockett
who was working on the rim OF the
wall was knocked into the we'll; as he
fell he caught a rope, and somewhat
checked his fall, not sufficiently how
ever to prevent him dropping some
ten or fifteen feet into a lot Of broken
stone. Fellow workmen picked him
up, and he was lifted to the surface
of the ground, and on.lookers were
surprised and gratifed to find him
but comparatively little injured, as
everyone supposed that he was at
least fatally hurt, as the we'll is some
thirty-eight feet deep. His injuries
consist Of a very sore head, ear and
shoulder. A man taking such fall
has but one chance in hundred in
coming out alive, and Mr. Hockett
got that chance. He was confined to
his bed for a day or two but now is
able to be around.

George James, Of the Moulton Drug
Company, too, is going around with
an arm in sling. Last Sunday he
and j, A, Conn visited at the home Of
VIM. Gudger in Klrwin township, and
starting home after dark and being
on strange road, lost their way, Mr..
James got out Of the buggy and, in
feeling around in the dark for the
road, fell over a precipice and tum-
bled about twenty feet, dislocatlng a
shoulder and breaking a collar-bone.
DR., Nelson attended to his injuries
and he will play invalid for a month.

scribcd as having been resorted to in one
of the Lead City gold mines 1t is com
posed of timbcrs about the size of railroad
ties which are used in supporting the
walls and roofs of the drifts and tunnels of
the mines. n narrow gaugc railroad brings
tho logs, which have been sawed fiat on
two sides, to u point on the mountain
slope about 600 feet above the valley, and
they are then thrown into a wooden chute
about feet wide and feet deep, the in
side surface being kept smooth and slip
perry by u small stream of water. Tho
point considered is that if the logs were
allowed to run directly to tho ground they
would speedily cxcavatc an enormous hole.
besides damaging themselves, so the lower
end of the chute is curved upward, and tho
logs leave 1t at IN angle OF about 80 de-
Rrccs with the horizontal, and rise from
100 to 200 feet in the air, turning over and
over and finally landing ON the enormous
pile already there. y useful outcome also
