| The San Joaquin Republican estimates that the
number OF persons killed by accident in the mines
OF California amount to four hundred or more than
one day during the year, and the number of those
| injured at some five or six hundred. The number

caused by mining accidents, has not been far from
| three hundred, in addition to some three hundred
or more Indians who have been killed. The des-
truction of human life by accident and rioeuce in
mining districts, exceeds the total loss by all
natural causes.
