The Skip Upset.

Last Monday, at the Bunker Hill
mine, an accident occurred that result
ed in the instant death of two men. 1t
appears that three men were ascend
ing the shaft, one inside of the skip
and two riding the bail. When part
way up the skip turned TURTLE pre-
cipitating the one inside to the bottom
of the shaft, and catching one of the
other men between the skip and tim
bers, nearly severing his body in twain.
On the following day Coroner Grit
ton held an inquest, the verdict in both
cases being in substance as follows:
That Joel Carter, native of England,
resident of AmadOr City, aged "a, and
Stephen CavaganarO, a native of Califor-
mia, resident of Amador City, aged %,
were accidentally killed by a skip up
setting by men riding improperly upon
it, and we the jury exonerate the Bun
ker Hill Mining Company from all
blame, and we recommend that miners
be more cautious in riding on skips
going up and down shafts. The YER
dict was signed as follows: Jno. r.
