flash. There was the ropel | now re-
membered that it was hanging in the shaft,
and, if | could only reach it. to slide down to
the bottom of the shaft would be an easy
matter.
No sooner had this thought occurred to me
than | began to feel for the rope, which
ought to be hanging somewhere within my
reach; but, to my surprise, l failed to lind
it. No doubt some of the caving tlmbers
had slid against the rope and held it to The
far side Of the shaft.
Then / remembered that I had several
matches in my pocket. | drew forth ono,
and, lighting it, glanced hastily about me.
As | had conjectured, the rore was at the far
side of the shaft-nearly eight feet away and
beyond my reach.
How to reach it was the question that puz-
zled me. greatly. By the light of a match |
made, a hasty survey of the walls of the shaft,
but discovered no place where the slightest
foqthold could be gained
which the rope could be grasped, and that
was, to leap for it and trust to chance in
catching it.
Had the fall, in case l missed, been nine
feet instead of ninety, / should have smiled
at the idea of failure; but, with death star
ing me in the face if | did not succeed in
grasping the rope, l shuddered as | contem-
plated the task before me. But it would not
do to stop TO consider matters; something
must be DONE and at once and l formed
the resolution to make the leap.
But there was another obstacle. / had no
| light, save that of a match, and this would
be extinguished as soon as l should attempt
to reach the rope. Here was a most serious
drawback to my plan, and / began TO rack
my brain for some way to overcome it,
After few moments reflection, / drew a
number of matches from my pocket and
stuck them in a crevice in the shaft cribbing.
1t was my purpose to light these Just before
making the leap. This would give sufficient
light to enable me to see how to grasp the
rope.
AS soon as this arrangement was completed,
/ turned about upon the ladder; then taking
another match from my pocket, / lit it and
applied it to those which l had stuck in the
cribbing. In second they blazed up, light,
ing the shaft distinctly.
There was not moment to lose, and let
go of the ladder and jumped for the rope
There was instant OF breathless, ago
nized suspense, as / shot across the fearful
abyss; then l struck the opposite wall.
missed the rope with my hands and, with a
feeling Of horror that | shall never forget,
felt myself falling down into the black dark
ness of the shaft below.
/ threw my hands wildly about me, clutch
ing desperately at the wall, and then, by a
lucky chance, caught the rope between my
knees. The next instant / had grasped It
firmly in my hands, and, with the feelings
of one who had escaped death by a miracle,
slid down to the bottom Of the shaft.
Creeping back into the drift, sank down,
exhausted upon the rocks. Now that was
Los Angeles herald., 1908-01-12

through the cribbing, fell in a shower about
my head and shoulders.
l cast quick, startled glance upward, and
as | did so cry of borrow escaped my lips
The tImbers were caving in, and the shaft
was slowly closing up above mel
| climbed swiftly up the ladder, but before
had taken three steps the shaft closed up
completely, leaving me in. the blacklist dark
ness; At the same time there came, an awful
crashing and grinding of breaking timbers,
then mass of dirt and boulders came rat
ting downward
| had barely time to press myself closely
against the wall, when the falling mass de-
scended about me, large boulder inst clanc-
ing my shoulder and almost knocking me
from the ladder.
The next moment | heard the sound of
breaking timbers below me and felt the lad
der sway violently as the rocks struck it;
then they bounded across the shaft, and fell.
with dull echo, ninety feet below
1t is impossible to describe the feelings of
horror and despair that came over me as |
realized the awful fact that l was literally
buried alive.
Scarcely had / arrived at a realization of
my terrible situation, when the cracking of
the timbers above warned me of the immedi-
ate peril that surrounded me.
Every moment now, expected another
mass of rock to descend which might sweep
me from my footing and precipitate me to
the bottom of the shaft.
Knowing this, l saw the necessity of
making my escape from the shaft into the
drifts as soon as possible and / at once be
gan to descend the ladder as swiftly as |
could.
/ had not descended more than a half
dozen feet when ! made a most startling
discovery. The falling rocks had broken Che
ladder off below me, rendering it impossible
for me to complete the descent
For little. while | stood there upon the
slippery rounds of the LADDER a sickeninp
and dizzy sensation stealing over me as [
tried to see way out of my desperate situa-
ton.
What was to be done? / knew that as
soon as it was discovered that the shaft had
caved in. hundreds of willing hands would
come to give assistance; but the task of NOV
ing the dirt and timbers from the shaft
above me might require days of the hardest
work. A moments reflection showed me that
it was useless to look for aid from that quar-
ter Even though the workers should be with
in a few feet of me, in attempting to remove
the debris new caving might occur which
would place me in the utmost peril
l knew that if | could only escape from
the shaft to one of the drifts below, there I
would be free from any immediate danger:
yet, even then, / might be in great peril
from the damps which might result from the
closing up of the shaft. But whatever l did
must be done quickly, for | was fast losing
my strength from being compelled to re.
main SO long on the ladder.
Suddenly a glad thought came to me like
