 dent At Burson's Mine.

The body Cf Sam Beck, who was killed tn 3urson's mine near Wichen- burg, ol the 1th. was taken to Prescott where int2rnent was made in the L Q. O. r. cemetery. GIr. Beck was ii years old and d very popular man. His only relative in this country is Wash Beck, who is q miner at PiclzreIl's camp in Tavapai county. sam Beck was aL enc time foreman of the Jersey Lily mine and accepted the fcrenanship of MT. Bursons mine about ten days be- fore he was killed.
 The particulars of the accident as publish ed in the Prescott Courier are as follows: About 6 D. m.. April :, Beck and his assistants had removed brol>- en pump from the f0e-foot level ard had made place for new pump, which was being lowered in q car that went down to the 400-fcot level. Ai Ander- son Was helping Beck; a lock chain and block was placed on the pump t1 unload it. Seek rang for the engineer above to let cut cable to lower the car to clear il from the pump, when he intended to put ti'nbers under it ana slide il to the floor: Beck kept repeat ing the signal to lower the ear and the car failed to moVa. Beck jumped under the pla tform to see what was the mat ter, and called to Anderson to look at tha car. Anderson looked up and called to Beck that the track above was full O. slack cable. Beck called to Anderson to shake the car, when the So0-pouad iron car started and fell B feet, breaking tEe timbers of the gal lows frame above. Anderson was found jammed up against the timbers in an almost unconscious condition, while the dead Dcdy of Beck was found near the car. II is supposed that the slack cable struck Beck and knocked him of, his balance so that he fell with the car The cold air had been shut off from the lower levels and the air was scalIing hot where Beck fell.
