John Maddox, a well known miner of San
Pedro' District, fell down a shaft in the Allan
Story turquoise mine, and was killed. He was
engaged in the bottom of the shaft, seventy-five
feet deep, and had fired the last blast of the
day and started up the shaft in the bucket when
the rope broke and let him fall, a distance of
about sixty feet. Scarcely had his body struck
the bottom of the shaft when the blast of giant
powder he had but a few momens before set
a match to, exploded. Death was almost in-
stantaneous. ,
