Bennallack, one of the under-ground foremen in the Eureka mine, was descending the main shaft to

ladder on which he was descending, causing him to fall. Thereby causing a fracture of his right leg

THE China mail service has so far progressed that the project is announced as an “accomplished
fact.” The Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s steamer Colorado is now being fitted out for the pioneer
voyage, and will sail from San Francisco for Yokohama and Hongkong, on the first of next January—that

among the foremost commercial ports in the world.
THE SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.—Alphonse Guirard, better known as Charlie Guirard,
formerly in the Butchering business at Rough and Ready, has taken charge of the San Francisco Market,
opposite the Engine House on Main street, where he will be happy to serve customers with the choicest
of American Beef, Pork, Mutton, Veal, or any kind of meat found in a market. He will also keep on hand
fresh vegetables of all kinds; eggs, butter, and everything required for table use. . . .
MINING ACCIDENT.—John and Edward Hensey [Hussey] were seriously injured, by being
washed through a tunnel in their claim, at Chalk Bluff, in Little York Township, on Thursday last. The
tunnel used for carrying water from their shaft, filled up, and a large amount of water accumulated.
The Henseys [sic] went into the tunnel, which is of considerable length and drops about thirty feet, for
the purpose of cleaning it out. While engaged in this work the water burst in upon them sweeping them
through the tunnel to the outlet. John Hensey had his collar bone broken in three places, and received
other serious injuries. His brother, Edward, was also severely but not dangerously injured.

NEW INVENTION.—William Thomas, of Birchville, says the Transcript, has invented a machine
for grinding black sand, which runs from the mining claims of the Kennebec Co. The sand is separated
at the end of the flume by an approved under-current machine. This sand is ground by the new machine,
which consists of two arms. One of these are stationary, and the other turns in a hopper above it, in the
