NEVADA GAZETTE NOVEMBER 6 & 7, 1865 539
MINING ACCIDENTS.—It has been the case almost universally in this county, and for that matter
throughout the State, that whenever one mining accident happened a number of others followed in quick
succession. No less than six men have been killed in this county within the past ten days, by accidents in
mines, and several others seriously injured. The most of these accidents, like many that have heretofore
occurred in the mines, were occasioned by downright heedlessness on the part of the miners in neglecting
to take the most ordinary precautions to insure their safety. Underground and hydraulic mining are
dangerous occupations at best; but the longer men work at the business the less appreciation they appear
to have of the danger. We have never heard any complaint against the owners of mines, that, either from
penuriousness or a desire to expedite work, they suffered their workmen to take unnecessary risks; but the
fault of the accidents is almost invariably with the miners themselves, who frequently neglect their own
safety contrary to the instructions of the owners. One would suppose that the longer a man worked in the
mines, and the better able he was to appreciate the danger, the more careful he would become; but the
contrary appears to be the case.
SPECIMENS.—We were shown yesterday some very fine quartz specimens taken from a ledge now
being worked below Newtown. The ledge, we are informed, was located by Judge Caswell, in 1852, who
still retains on interest in it.
