ANOTHER CAVE IN.
In the United Verde at Jerome. One Killed Two Injured. Nearly
 a Hundred Miners Walk Out.

Prescott Prospect Another great cave has occurred in the United Verde at Jerome which records the death of one man and the severe injury of two others, while, though almost miracle, nine others barely escaped with their lives. Several who came over from Jerome Thursday give an account of | the accident which places the company in rather bad light. Among those who came over are Joseph Lambour, Chas. Johnson and John Hardy all three of whom say they were in the mine when the cave in took place. It occurred on the 400-foot level adjacent to the spot where the great cave took place sev- eral months ago and was mainly caused, these men say, by the ground being inn properly timbered and secured in a careless manner.
 Joseph Lambour says that about 8:30 | Tuesday night he and eleven other men, Johnson and Hardy among the men were working a drift on the 400- level, when one of them had occasion to 1 fire shot to remove some ground. The shot broke down two or three support ing posts of the drift and started cave which covered distance of 200 feet in the drift. Fortunately it only caught three of the men, one losing his life and the other two being injured. The balance were ahead of the part that caved and in that way missed meeting with an untimely death. They were penned in, however, and only escaped by descending to the 500-foot level through an old ore chute in which lad ders had been placed while an exami- nation was belng made of the former cave, and which still remained there. Joseph Lambour was working in the mine at the time of the first cave and it was through his knowledge of the ore chute that the men managed to get out, otherwise they would probably have been suffocated in the drift.
 The following day Lambour, Johnson and Hardy asked for their time and quit, for the reason that the company refused to allow them more than a half days work, al though they had put in full six hours of an eight hour day and had been en- gagged most of the time in getting out the miner whose death they claim had been caused by the company's faulty and careless provision for safety. About ninety other miners followed the lead of Lambour and his partners which about cleaned out the mining force of the mine.

Graham & Smith s orchestra furnished the music and the merry makers were on the floor until three o'clock in the morning.
