FROM THE MINES.
Satisfactory Showing is Being Made the Work of De-

A NEW STRIKE WEDNESDAY.
A Big Body of Free Zinc Ore Found the Crawfsl
Land at Depth of 120 Feet.

T. Bingham, E. Bingham and Jas
Beth. The ere was encountered al
120 feet and will, we believe, prove
to be a veritable jack bin.
The big oil drill is pounding
away over on Tar creek. Wednes-
day noon the hole was $50 feet deep
and the drill was still in limestone.
In fact the drill has been in lime
stone for 1873 feet. The gentlemen
doing the drilling say it is the
hardest rock they ever encountered,
and, on the quiet, they intimate that
they will be mighty well pleased
when they get through it, provided,
of course, they don't get into hard
er rock, which they don't think
likely

NARROW ESCAPE.

Chas. Bryan of Chetopa had a
narrow escape from death last Sun.
day evening. He was pretty drunk
during the day and toward evening
he started out in the country where
he had been working. He travelled
on the railroad track and when
down where the reunion switch
branches off the main line was
struck by the engine of the super
intendent's train and knocked into
the ditch. The engineer didn't see
him and consequently didn't stop.
Bryan remained in the ditch until
next morning when Joe Sherer and
his section crew found him and
took him to Mrs. Meyerding's,
where he was treated by DR.. Eng
lish. He went to his home in Che.
topa Wednesday.
DR.. English tells as that Bryan's
clothes were torn from his back.
Bryan says he was walking on the
track when he was hit, but we don't
believe it. We join the doctor in
the opinion that he was sitting
down or lying just outside the rail.
Had he been standing up he would
certainly have been killed.
