7. S. Knight. u workman at the sash
factory Of the Truckee Lumber Compa-
ny. had his left hand badly cut this
morning by a small circular saw. Mr..
knight was absent-mindsd, and in a fit
OF abstraction placed his hand on tho
saw, which was making several hundred
revolutions per minute. Men who
spend their time in close proximity to
circular saws should not be too abstract
ed. A saw has no moro respect for a
contemplative mans hand than il has
for q pine board.

The Sutro Dependent has evidently
concluded that 1t isn't worth while TO
pitch into Mr.. Sharon on the Chinese
cheap labor question. II has persist
emily misrepresentsd the position Of Mr..
Sharon on the entire labor question,
and has not scruplsd to publish lies to
maintain its assertions. II studiously
suppressed and ignored that portion Of
his remarks to a delegation Of San Fran
cisco mechanics some two or three
months since. wherein he svowedhimsslf
against Coolie importation. II has per-
sistently and with brazen audacity. .
well also with It's customary brainless
stupidity. asserted that Mr.. Sharon was
in favor Of bringing into the mines OF
Storey county Chinese labores. To
counteract all possible effect Of the I'M
qualified lies OF Sutro and his organ, ss
well as to recall to mind the true attitude
and opinions OF Mr.. Sharon on this
question. va republished in u last is
sue his remarks to the miners OF Gold
Hill, and the contract entered into be-
tween himself and representatives OF the
Gold Hill and Virginia City Miners
Unions, Tho speech is in itself a refu-
tation Of the Dependents falsehoods. 1t
was uttsrsd 1--WE years ago, and We defy
the production Of any remark made byMr.
Sharon since that time in contradiction
OF the sentiments he then ~enunciated.
Moreover. both parties to the agreement
have kept their obligation faithfully and
honestly. This, by the way, is far more
than sutro has done with both the
Miners Union and several OF its PROM
inent members. Now the Dependent
thinks that not much is necessary to be
said upon this Chinese question. SO.
indeed. do we; but let US have the truth
mot lies. Mr.. Sharon's speech to the
miners Of Gold Hill and Virginia City
was not "abject." neither was 1t in the
Chatham street style Of sutro's haran-
CUES. 1t was simply a plain talk by an
employer. or a representative OF capital,
to a company Of employees who
represented aggregated labor. In
n f.v vorls Mr.. Sharon stated his posi-

will serve to illustrate the nature OF
Ginn's job Toward the close Of tho
lecture he spoke Of the rapidly increas-
ing strength OF the Independent party,
aud Of the strong probability that the
people, finding their wishes thwarted by
the politicians Of both parties, would
rise in their might and sweep them both
from power. This sentiment was heart
lily applauded /; but when he stated that
II the people, in casting about TO find .
candidate for tho United States Senate
in whose honesty and incorruptibility
they could depend, should ask him to
serve them and fight tho rings in the
Senate, he should feel in duty bound to
consent, the applause was long c%ontin-

SoNE time in the Autumn OF 1872
whom Sutro had from three to four
hundred men employed at his tunnel,
hs adopted the humorous idea Of de-
Quoting one dollar per month from each
mans wages for a hospital fund" This
was for a month OF so, quite a spceula-
ton. several hundred dollars being
realized. We believe the practice is still
continued. Those who. however, were
discharged directly after election. and
others who. from time to time, have
since been ''let out fail to perceive or
receive any special benefit therein or
thcrefrom. But a hospital fund ia a
good thing nevertheless-for the tunnel
company. 1t saves it the expense OF
employing n physician for the officers Of
the company and their families.

NJ. SIpoRorr, member OF the Geo
graphical Society Of st. Petersburg, has
addressed a report to the Russian Ad-
mirality with regard to the Austrian
Polar Expedition. Of which nothing has
been heard since August, 1872. Nj.
Sidoroff says in his report that the
Tegetthoff was last seen by Count Wit
ezek in a gulf near Cape Nassau, whose
outlet was then being choked up with
ice. Since that time various seamen
coming from Nova Zembla have re-
ported that the quantity Of drift ice in
the Icy Sea had considerably increased.
and that in the Summer Of 1879 il wa
extraordinarily abundant. Formerly the
ice on the coast Of the above island only
extended to a distance OF five versts in
the month Of June, while in the mid
summer. 1873. the width Of the icy
tone amounted to about 100 versts. NJ.
sidoroff believes that II Cape Nassau
had been free Of ice the Tsgetthoff would
certainly have gone round the north
eastern point Of Nova Zembla, which is
only u days journey from Cape Nassau,
and thus reached the Gulf Of Yeniseisk
without difficulty. II is, therefore,
probable that the expedition is frozen
up and in want Of provisions, and NJ.
sidorof accordingly recommends the
Russian Government to send food, etc,
by land to Cape Nassau, adding that he
will contribute eiOo to the expenses Of
the undertaking. The Admiralty has
approved Of this proposal, and it is o
taking the necessary steps for carrying II
out.

been made. We refer to that "blarsted

Will cost about three m lion dollars; the aggre-
