Al Accident in the Newhouse

Pat. Casey, employed as . trammer in
the Newhouse tunnel, had a narrow
escape from death early last Sunday
morning, when large mass Of rock slid
off of the hanging wall and pinned bim
him to the floor of the drift in the Sara
tog lateral. The depression alongside Of
the track, used as . waterway. saved
him from being crushed to death. He
was terribly bruised and mangled, al
though NO bones were broken, and un-
less complications set in he will be able
to get about in a short time. At the
time Of the accident, Manager May and
Coutractnr Otto Holm were both near
and fendered assistance in extricating
the injured man. which was done by
the use ofties and track in prying up
the rock. The rock was afterwards
broken up and completely filled three Of
the two-ton tram cars used in the tunnel.

SHIPMENT OF FINE ORE. =

A good strike has been made in the
Bellman claim of the Memphis and
Idaho Springs Gold Mining and Milling
company located between the Sun and
Moon and Gem mines in Gilson gulch.
A streak of ore from six to ten inches
vide was opened in an old stope which
gave returns of I.I6 ounces gold and III
ounces in silver per ton, and six per cent.
copper, representing value of fo4 per
ton. The plant of machinery on the old
J. Warner mine was last week removed
to the Bellman claim and shaft con-
nection of I25 feet will be made by
raising and sinking. In addition to the
streak Of ore just opened there is a
large quantity of ore carrying an average
value Of sra per ton. which can be profit
ably mined under the present smelling
rates but which is not suitable for mill
ing on account of the presence of sui
phurettes. Ten men are employed at
the present time and the working force
will be increased later. Mr.. c. A. King
