Carson will hope SO.
In relation to the above, in a con-

said he had, on yesterday, received
another letter from Senator Jones, in
which the latter expressed a strong
hope that the mint will not only re-
main at its present status, but in a
short time will be replaced on the
coinage footing. He certainly is max
ing an energetic effort to that end.
II this is done it will be q great
thing for Carson. for it will mean the
immediate employment of from rs to
100 persons in that institution at good
salaries. Carson News.

CAvED ON AND KILLED.

RENO, New, April 2S.-The South
ern Pacific Railroad has had a gang of
men at work at Clark's station, about
twenty miles east of here, for some
days digging new we'll for the supply
OF water for the use of their engines.
During the past two days gang Of
carpenters have been cribbing the well
in an endeavor to prevent the sandy
soil from caving in. This morning
while two Of the carpenters and la
borer were at work in the well the
walls caved in, burying the three men
under some fifteen feet OF soil.
An alarm was at once given, and
those at the station took immediate
steps for the assistance of the en-
tombed men. An air pipe was con-
nected with the bottom of the well,
and rapping heard upon it shortly
after the accident showed that at least
one of the men was alive. The rap
ping ceased, however, very shortly
afterward.
The particulars OF the catastrophe
were telegraphed to Wadsworth, the
nearest station, and gang of some
forty men and three doctors we're i'm
mediately dispatched to the scene. The
men were put to work removing the
dirt from the well, which was no easy
task, for it was necessary to timber as
fast as the earth was removed, as the
ground continually caved in on them.
At noon a message received here
stated that the dirt from the well to a
depth to which the men we're supposed
to have been working had been re-
moved, but no bodies could be found
The bottom of the well is quicksand,
and it may be some days before the
bodies are discovered.
At 6 o'clock tonight the relief gang
had reached the water level, but there
is no doubt but that the three men are
dead. The unfortunate are: Manuel
Francisco, single; X. A. Fairbank, who
leaves wife and family residing at
Sacramento. and John Downey, single.
A later account states that the bodies
of the three men were reached and
taken out early next morning.

OF Ely citizens have been located in.
At the point of discovery the pay

The enormous increase in the num-
