Narrow Escape In Nevada County Mine Shaft
A Cornish miner recalls a near death while bailed water from a shaft in Nevada County. The tub jammed at a bend, a rope descent was perilous, and after dislodging the tub he climbed the ladder as the hoist cable snapped and the tub freed. He survived and vowed not to return to such danger. The account ends noting many English incomes exceed £50,000 a year.
