Crushed While Stopping.

a dreadful accident occurred in the
South Eureka mine last Monday night,
the particulars of which are about as
follows: A number of miners were en-
gagged in loosening huge piece of rock
of several tons weight, when it was de-
cided that another crow bar was needed
and Giovanni Garbarini volunteered to
get one. The workmen waited patient
ly for his return with the, implement,
but he did not appear. The under
ground foreman came along and asked
what they were waiting for and they
told him. Search was instituted and
the unfortunate man was found under
the great mass of rock, which had
settled while he was returning with the
crowbar, catching him as he was close
under it and crushing his life out in
stantly.
The deceased was about SO years of
age, and leaves eight orphaned children
in Italy. He was buried from the
Catholic church at p. m. Wednesday,
Rev. Father Gleeson officiating. In
terment it the Catholic cemetery. His
cousin was killed in the same mine
about two months ago.

Nugget: At the Ribbon Rock mine,
near this city, the shaft is now 215 feet
in depth. The work of sinking has
been temporarily suspended. Drifts
are being run from the 200-foot level
both north aud south on the ledge.
The south drift has been already driven
a distance of fifty feet. The entire
face of the drift is in good milling ore.
The same can be said of the north
drift, which was started few days ago
and is now in a distance of twenty feet.
The ten stamps at the ONO mine be-
gan dropping last Monday morning on
ore that is being broken in Tunnel No.
3. Eight men are now working at this
property, and about that many more
will be put on during the present week.
Work will be begun this week on new
tunnel near the level of the river that
will tap the ledge at a depth of over
1900 feet. The ledge in Tunnel No. 3,
the present source of supply of the ore
now being milled, is from three and
one-half TO eight feet in width.
Development work on the Cincinnati
mine south of this city, is still being
vigorously prosecuted. Six men are
now employed who are rapidly driving
the tunnel ahead. The company have
a twelve-foot ledge and are very much
pleased with the outlook.
About fifteen men are now engaged
in drifting in the French Hill Seam
Diggings near Old Spanish Dry Dig
gings.
A force of men under the superin-
tendency of c. w. Kenney are engaged
in sinking at the shaft of the south ex-
tension of the Schleger mine near
Greenwood. The shaft is now 210 ieet
in depth.

which in days agone, noted as bullion
producer, has passed into the hands of
a Boston syndicate. The Star King,
like many properties on the east belt,
turned out its thousands in gold and
was then disrated and abandoned. In
that day the operators had not the
labor saving facilities OF the present;
besides they dreamed not of delving
deep into the earth for the precious
stuff, being contented to scrape the
crust. The company now having con-
troll fully understands the absolute de-
mands for deep mining and they are
prepared to meet all requirements. At
present the water is being pumped
from the mine. While this is in pro-
gress the company has entered invo
contract for the erection of hosting
works and Krogh two stamp mill,
which will be completely furnished
with all up-to-date machinery. At last
the Star King will take its position
smong the great mines of the county,
a position that it justly deserves.
VIM. Floyd will be the superintendent.
He is an experienced miner and under

the Star King will give q good account

A Description Of a Midnight Sun Scene
In the Arctic Region.

1O6u6
In the Arctic Region.
SKAGWAY, Alaska, June 25, 1900.
Dear LEDGER:
We are enjoying the shortest
nights of the year, but it is necessary
to be on the spot to appreciate their
full meaning. At ten in the evening
the sun is still shining on the snowy
peak of Mt. Dewey. People emble
at church, lecture or concert, and 90
home after it is over without any light
except that of the sun. One forgets
when 1t is time to go to bed. Draymen,
carpenters, and others, working extra
time, only stop when fatigue compels
them. Fowls seem actually bewildered
by the strange situation. It Is we'll
worth the loss of sleep to enjoy the
scene at midnight. Signs across the
street are perfectly plain and coarse
print can be read with ease. Members
of the Camera Club are testing the
power of their instruments. Such
twilight as lands nearer the equator
cannot furnish, has beautified the skies
since sunset. Not bright colors, but
soft silvefy tints, as If Nature had
spread film of daintiest lace over her
choisest painting. The mountains
stand in bold relief, and along their
sides the islands of fog floating up from
the bay, seem shimmering in a gaseous
sea. The light is partially smothered,
except in the west, where may be plain
ly seen the place where the sun disap-
peared. 1t is neither day, night nor
twilight, but miugling of all three,
forming scene never to be forgotten.
Before the novelty has passed, trans
formation occurs, the fading light in
the west shares it's interest with the be-
ginning of dawn in the east, and the
climax of Natures wonders is so en-
trancing that the very stars seem to
veil their light in awe and admiration.
Before two the western mountain tips
are gloriied with the banners of day
and Nature claims the forfeit of the
night entertainment, and forces desire
for sleep in spite of the fascination OF an
Arctic night scene.
The growth of vegeta bles is wonder.
full. on account of the abundance of
light, warmth and moisture at this

Times are lively here now. Much
travel and great excitement about new
discoveries. Prospecting in the noun
tains around Skagway is meeting with
much encouragement and it is not at
all improbable that this town may be-

A Thrilling Adventure.

What driver on mountain roads,
where the grades are often dangerous
ly narrow, who has not often said to
himself, as he approached narrow
stretch of grade, "This would be a
fearful place to meet a runaway team. "
Last Tuesday afternoon about 8
o clock, Oscar Myers was ascending
the Stony creek grade with his four
horse wood wagon containing cord
and quarter OF wood for the Oneida
mine. He had reached place on the
grade where he had often wondered
'what fellow would do if he met
runaway team, "and the same thoughts
were in his mind, when he was amazed
to see the very catastrophe he had
often imagined imminent. Bearing
down upon him, with an ominous rat
tile and bang, came four horses, wild
with fright, attached to an empty wood
wagon. Ye gods! it was a ticklish
moment and no time for deliberation.
The first thought was father to the
act. Myers jumped, intending to hold
his leaders well to one side hoping the
runaways would somehow pass without
killing his team. But before he reach
ed the leaders they turned, and with a.
rush took the back track trampling
Myers under their feet, taking the
wheelers with them and actually turn.
ing that loaded wagon around within a
space of twelve feet and with the whole
outfit ran down the road fully 300
yards, where one of the wheelers fell
and was killed. The other horses,
with the pole and fore wheels of the
wagon, ran some distance farther.
In the meantime, the runaway team
which caused the trouble, came
laundering down the grade, but the
driver, Jack Nash, managed in some
manner to run them into the bank or
into stone heap and bring them up
without any damage except the break
ing of back strap. In explanation of

fixing the brake when his team started
and he held on to the lines but could
not reach the brake to set it.
Myers was covered with cork bruises
from the shoes of his horses, from his
heels to his shoulders. but fortunately
he was not hit in the head or doubt
less he would have receiXed mortal in
juries. His loss is fully $500. Jack
Nash told him to take his wagon to
the shop and have it repaired and he
would foot the bill, but that he was not
able to make good the loss of the horse.
Myers is well pleased that he escaped
with his life.
This is one of the most thrilling
grade episodes that ever occurred in
this section, and that no one was killed
is little short of miracle.
