very good in Arizona. Ben Canvin

Mr. Gracey's mine near Chloride. A,

A deplorable accident that cost a
human life happened here last Friday.
A company of four men have been
working all winter on China Hill, where
they have been piping a high bank of
lava. Frequent slides have occurred
and it is particularly dangerous in
rainy weather. The partners agreed
not to go to work on Friday morning
in case of rain. By some misunder-
standing one of them, Vencinzo Devin-
cenzo, went up alone, Friday morning.
Being a single man living by himself in
cabin, he was not missed. Mike Ub-
bins, one OF the partners, went up to
the claim on Saturday morning to see
what effect the rain had made on the
bank. He found a dinner bucket in
the cabin and knowing that none were
supposed to be working he proceeded
to find out who could be its owner. He
soon discovered the body of his un:
fortunate fellow worker lying on his
back, a large rock resting upon his
temple which was crushed as were also
his ribs through which the heart pro-
truded. Death must have been instan,
taneous, The supposition is that the
dead man, who was hard of hearing, was
overtaken unawares by the big rock
rolling with terrific force from the tor
of the bank, as the body was a consid.
cradle distance from the slide and was
not covered up. The deceased was q
peaceable man, well liked by everybody
in town where he has resided number
