George Butler, a miner employed in the Pacific mine at Pinos Altos, had a narrow escape a few days ago. He was cutting a ditch when a mass of rock above him gave way and came down, completely covering him up. He was extracted by some of his fellow miners and taken out to the fresh air. Although consid- erably bruised and cut up, no bones were broken and he will be able to report for duty again in a few days.
