LOST IN A MIN {.
Thrilling Experience of Miner in New
ada Mine.
(Tonopah Times)

(Tonopah Times)
About 4;30 o'clock Wednesday at
ternoon Alex Smith, mine superin-
tendent of the Tonopah Elk, and John
Murray mine foreman of the same
property We're in the hoist room of the
No. l shaft when suddenly the signal
bell rang for the cage and then sound
ed the distress signal. As the day
shift had come off at $3.50 and no one
was supposed to be in that part of the
mine at that hour of the day, every
one within hearing distance was star
tied.
John Murray was lowered to the
bottom of the shaft with all possible
speed, where he found a very much
frightened man, who had no idea of
where he was and had no light. After
being brought to the surface he re-
covered sufficiently to be able to ex-
plain i'm broken English how he came
to be in that predicament He gave
his name as Mike Rodovich and said
he had been working for the Tonopah
Mining company only a few days.
When the shift went off Wednesday
afternoon he became separated from
his companions and lost his way. In
a short time his light went out, but he
kept on walking and finally, out of
pure luck he came to the Extension
shaft, where he was able to summon
/ help. 1t was an experience fraught
with danger and one that might cas-
! lily have ended in tragedy
The two mines are about half a
mile apart and it is believed that the
lost man walked several miles in the
dark through the network Of under
ground workings before he finally got
to the Extension shaft.

struggle is hard. You have not yet

pare Your fertile lands against their
promise of future prosperity. Your de-.

Your livestock is great. Your live

and an uncomfortable degree of pov-

the owner of that property. What
those damages shall be Ia decided by
him. If You consider his estimate
excessive. You must go to court You
must pay lawyers. Court costs are
added to the amount fixed in law.
Your horse or Your COW may have
broken down barriers, may have
avoided utmost vigilance, and strayed
without, absolutely, particle of will
ful negligence on Your part, without
You have been careless. And yet You
must enter upon expensive litigation,
must be subject to strife and enmity
which cannot help but be engendered
Your common sense will tell You that
