A Hero's Death.

Arthur Van Duzen, hero of the
Alta mine disaster in 1882, died at ST.
Marys Hospital, Virginia City, of
miners consumption, last week after
protracted illness. On May 81,
1882, seven men were entombed alive
in a drift on the 2150-foot level of the
Alta mine, Gold Hill, through the
bursting of a bulkhead, which flood
ed the lower levels of the mine with
hot water.
The place where they were work
ing at the time of the accident was
400 feet from the shaft, and the only
hope of rescuing them alive was to
force compressed air from the sur
face into the drift and to keep the
pumps and bailing tanks going at
the highest speed to hold the water
in check. The end of the drift where
the imprisoned men were located was
IA feet above the level, and the wa
ter rose two feet above the level
On the second day the water was
lowered sufficiently to admit of send
ing in q DO at made for the purpose.
Denis Callahan and VIM. Bennett
lost their lives IN aa attempt to reach
the imprisoned men in the boat
The bodies of Bennett and Callahan
were afterwaro found with the flesh
partially cooked. Two other men
attempted to reach them on the fol-
lowing day, but finding the air pipe
broken, returned to the surface near
ly exhausted.
AT midnight on June I'd, Van Du-
sen, equipped with helmet filed
with ice, succeeded in reaching the
imprisoned men by wading through
water showing temperature of 1l2
degrees, and found them nearly fam
ished with hunger and suffering from
thirst. They were soon after rescued
from their living tomb, where they
had been imprisoned over eighty
hours. News of the rescue caused
great excitement and was announced
by the ringing of bells, blowing of
steam whistles and firing of guns
Van Duzen refused to accept any re-
ward for his heroic action, and con
tinued working in the Alta mine I'M
til his health failed, about year ago
During his illness Superintendent
Boyle and the latters brother were
unremitting in their attentions to
him. The deceased was of modest
bearing and always refused to talk
of his share of the rescue, He was
native of Michigan, aged 81.

\ correspondent of the Bishop
Register writes thusly about once
thrifty camp;
J. D. Cleary, the sole survivor Of
the camp, who has been eleven years
in the employ of the company and
has charge of their property at the
present time, informs your cores
pendent that he has just received a
hasty letter from his company ask
ing what will be the probable cost of
retimbering the New York and Bull
lion shafts and putting their hosting
plants in proper working shape to be
in readiness on call.
New capital is interesting itself
here and as they must surely be post
ed on the silver question, we may look
forward to an early starting up OF
those works, which are about 10
miles southeast of Silver Peak and
nave StOOu lule lot several years.
The plant consists of a l0-stamp mill,
20-stamp smelter and hosting works,
which are in fairy good condition
after being lost sight of for so long a
time, owing to the depression of sill
yer. Mr., Cleary has mining proper
ty of his own here also that may pass
to other hands when silver becomes
more settled. Several other proper
ties, including those belonging to
Mr.. Chiatovich of Silver Peak, may
become producers later on, as the
camp has only been worked by one
company and closed down before they
were able to establish its worth. We
shall watch with interest the out
come of this hasty letter which could
not wait for our weekly mail at the
Peak.

Canned Horse.

A San Francisco dispatch says
that the Transcontinental associa-

from Portland, Oregon, asking that
rates on canned and picked horse
meat in carload lots be established
between Portland and all cities of

follows closely on the one for new
rates on live horses from Arizona
and common points to Portland. The

Gar Ale1ander's Diplomacy.

Russia needs peace in order to develop
her internal affairs She entered into
relations with France not in order TO
make war on Germany, but to form a
counterpoise to the triple alliance and
prevent France from embarking on q
policy of adventure which might have
dragged Russia against her will into
war. Now that Russia is sure of the
pacific intentions of France, she is bind
ing Germany to her by ties of interest
Thus she holds in her hands the policy
of two great nations which for nearly
a quarter of century have maintained
a hostile attitude If it is Alexander
III who personally directs the foreign
policy of his empire, it must be admit
ted that he is endowed with admirable
diplomatic resources, for the game has
been played so quietly and so surely az
to be worthy the eulogium of future
historians Paris Herald.

colo Ring in a Fl.h.

Lieutenant James H. Minor Of the
police force, says the Florida Times,
was presented with gold ring yester-
day by Captain Harry II. Haywood,
who, at the time of coming into posses
sion Of the ring was in command of the
Nova Scotia bark Alice. Captain Hay
wood says that while the bark Alice
was on her way from New York TO Ha-
vana he frequently passed the time in
fishing, and on June il, 1892, he caught
large bonito fish, which on being cut
open was found to have q plain gold
ring inside. 1t was the common belief
of the sailors on the bark that the fish
had bitten off the hand of a man, who
either fell over board or went down
with his ship. Captain Haywood has
taken a great fancy to Lieutenant
Minor, and gave him the ring as a token
of his friendship
