The de, ceased was working on the 1OO-foot level of the mine and got on the cage on top of loaded car and started for the surface. The cage was at the 1o0-foot level, and Patsy Holland, who was on the station, intended to get on, but Bloomquist, not knowing this, gave the signal to hoist, and the cage shot up at lively rate, and for some cause was not stopped at the surface. but with it's human cargo was landed with terrific force into the shive wheel, and the life of Bloomouist was crushed out. It is doubtful if he ever knew what struck him, as his body was bad ly bruised and most of the bones broken. His neck, back and legs were broken. besides number of ribs The force of the stop was so strong that his body was half buried in the car Of ore The cage and the shivt wheel were so badly damaged that il was with difficulty that the cage was finally released from the gallows fram' and lowered to the chairs on the sur face.

 Mining Personais-
 John Gleesou, the well known min ing man, was in Tombstone honda. from the camp of that name. He rt ports that camp as being quite lively and more men at work there at tn present tune than has been at work fo s number of years. The Sharno, people. who have a bond on the Col per Belle property, are taking out COT siderable ore and making regular shil mepts, and would ship more only the arc unable to get teams sufficient t haul the ore to Pearce. A new roS has been built on the side hills so a to get out of the wash. and by so d. ing the teams are able to make muc better headway. Mir. Gleeson hs been shipping some ore from one ( ! his claims, and states that a numbt of others are doing the same. m present high price of copper makes
 possible to ship ore of low grad that could not be handled before.
 Jack Hefly was in Tombstone r
 gently on his way from Helvetia to h

 that the Helvetia country is rapid coming to the front, and that a nuT Der of eastern companies are now work there The old Helvetia comp ny is making some extensive improv l. lrseats e.; cad,ng the road up to Il
