company should win honors on its native
heath.

ship and barge in tow, loomed up in the
darkness. Lungdren holloed to the tug
with all his might, and pulled out of the
way as far as he could. He did not see
the scow until it was upon him, and so,
to his horror, his boy was struck and
disappeared beneath the scow. The
boat was overturned and Lungdren , by
accident, caught one of the guy lines of
the barge and climbed upon the barge,
hoping in some way to save the child
The Fannie lay to all night and put
back to the cannery and landed the
fisherman there Monday morning.

A Mining- Giant Adrift.
At the Grant Brothers' mine, on the
north fork of the John Day river, ten
miles west of Granite, one of the giants
got' adrift the other day, and began
throwing its stream of water eight
inches in diameter in a circle. B. F,
Grant ran to set the machine, but was
hurled aside like a bit of paper. A
miner named Berry sprang at the giant,
and his arm was broken in two places.
But this brave action no doubt saved
several lives. The mighty bolt of water,
eight inches in diameter, swung in every
direction. One of Mr. (jrant a sons, a
lad of 14 years, was sitting on a bowlder
about 100 feet distant, and when the
water struck it threw him ten feet in the
air. When the lad fell, be struck on his
head among some ragged rocks, sorely
bruising bis face and narrowly missed
destroying one of his eyes. The men
were rolled and crushed against the
banks and rocks, six of them being
badly bruised and cut. A young miner
named Montgomery had his shoulder
dislocated, being injured so he will not
be able to work for at least six weeks
An idea of the danger may be gleaned
from the fact that this bolt of eight
inches in thickness, considerably larger
than the thickness of a common stove
pipe, was hurled front a pressure of
about 160 feet fall.
