A MINER BURNED to DEATH -- A correspondent of the Marysville 'Express' writing from Excelsior, Sierra county, says:
Samuel H. COOPER lost his life on Oct. 29, in the following manner. The timbers forming the chimney of the ventilating shaft, belonging to the Dead Broke Company's tunnel, took fire, and Mr. COOPER at the moment of throwing the chimney over, slipped and fell through the shaft -- a distance of 50 feet -- at the bottom of which a very hot fire was burning, and before he could be rescued was burned to a cinder. He was aged 21 years, and came from Parrotsville, Coke county, Tennessee.
