INTO THE WATER.
A Boat Load Of Poles Dumped Into the
 Creek at Buffalo.

BUFFALO. \. Y, May 2G. G.-Connelly's steam yacht Trilby, employed by the city to convey passengers across the creek at the foot of Michigan street, capsized shortly after : o'clock this morning just after leaving the docks. The little craft was loaded to the gun wales with passengers, and all were thrown into the water. 1t was said al first that fifteen were lost but at II o'clock it was reliably reported that five persons had been drowned. The creek is being dragged for the bodies of the missing. About thirty or thirty five men were on board the yacht when she capsized.
 THEY WE'RE ALL POLES,
 and were crossing over to the island, where they were employed at various places. The bridge at Michigan street is being repaired, and the only way for crossing there is by ferry. The yacht Trilby and number of scows have been carrying the people across since the bridge was condemned. Especially at night and morning large numbers of workingmen cross here, and several accidents have been narrowly averted. This morning something more than the usual crowd of Poles swarmed up to the dock and began to chamber into | the boat like a flock of sheep. The | Trilby took three loads of them across safely, but when she came back for the fourth load a great crowd of Poles made a rush for her, and when they all jumped on one side of her she l quickly lurched over and went over to the bottom.
 MASS OF STRUGGLING MEN.
 All of the men were thrown into the water, and for several minutes were scrambling and struggling, shouting and clutching at each other like so many crazed animals The dock being within easy reach, very many of them were able to clutch it, and were soon out of danger. Others who were drawn further away from the boat as she went over, and dragged down by their companions, had to struggle for some time before they got out The boat turned bottom side up and went to the bottom. She is large enough to carry about thirty-tive persons with | safety, but when the com mblned weight of the crowd of men struck her this morning all on one side, she turned over as though she had been tin basin. As soon as the men were out of the water the work of graphing for the bodies began II is believed by those who witnessed the accident that it was impossible for all the men to get l out

stances not necessary to explain here,
said lot of ore was not reduced In the
mill on the premises. but l rejoice in
the belief that much more of the same
kind of ore remains in the mine to be
raised.
Said ore was different from any
previously found in the shaft, being
soft and easily mined and milled.
The vein was sunk on to the
depth of from three to four feet
only, a portion of the rich ore being
left in the hanging wall, An explana
ton (too lengthy for this a~rticle) will
be needed to showiwhy further sinking
was stopped at this stage.
A vertical water shaft about rs feet
deep and pump to dry the mine is all
that Is needen to disclose what I verify
believe to be one of the richest and
largest bodies of gold ore in the State if
not in the United States. We have a
surplus OF steam power sufficient to
raise the water from the depth of 200
feet Or more.
