A miner named Ravenswood met with a very painful accident at Naseby on Wednesday. He was breaking down the face in his claim, and fell with the earth, a crowbar he had been using penetrating completely through a portion of his body near the groin, inflicting a wound which it is a miracle did not at once prove fatal. He is progressing favorably.
