THE TURF.
TIE 10000 RACE.

SAN Francisco, December 13.-The
members Of the Pacific Jockey Club say
that the statements in the Tur, Field &
Farm and other eastern papers, relative tg
the $50, 900 race, are entirely uhwarranted
by facts and do great injustice to the club
and the owners Of hotseswho are In harmo'
ny. The latter are satisfied with the actions
Of the club, and II is now considered rea.
Sonably certain that the race will come
of Christmas, weather permitting. The
horses are alf reported In good condition
except Wlldidle and Gfinstead, the
former will not run. Foster Ia coming
from Oregon to take his place. Grin
stead no doubt will be all right in time
for the race. Probably not less than six
horses will start.

Statistics Of Mining.

In Great Britain there are 100000 men
employed in The coal mines below
ground and 100000 engaged above
ground. The coal mined each year
amounts to l2S, 100000 tons. On an aver
age 900 are killed every year and 1000
wounded. In the last half century 50,-
900 men have been killed In the mines
and some 100000 were wounded.
In the United States $4,000 men arc
employed in mining and 100000 tons
Of coal mined yearly. In Pennsylvania
the death rate exceeds that OF Great
Britain. The death rate in Ohio was also
greater last year than that Of England,
but this year II will be less.
The most dangerous mines in the Unit.
ed States are In SChuylkill county, Penn
sylvania, one man being killed there Tor
every $4,000 tons mined. One man Ia
killed in England for every $4,000 tons
mined, one In Pennsylvania for every
$4,000 tons, and one In Ohio for every
1S3,0OO tons. This destruction Of human
life ought always 10 be considered when
making complaints about dear fuel. No
doubt The prices often charged for coal
are too dear, but the excess OF charges is
on the part Of those who own the mines,
and never on that Of those who work
them.

A sTUPENDoUs LAND swINDLE
has Just been unearthed in Southeastern
Missouri. II appears that deeds to lands
In Northern Arkansas and Southeastern
Missouri have been forged for some years
past and that agencies for this work were
established in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia, New York and Manchester
England. It estimated that deeds to
cover twelve million acres OF land have
been forged and disposed Of, the valua.
iion being from twenty-five to thirty mil.
lion OF dollars. The land operated upon
records were mostly destroyed during
the civil war, the ring had every facility
10 carry out the enormous swindle, and
the deeds have been sold all over the
United States and in England. The
Grand Jury Of Shannon county, Missouri,
have indicted DR.. Thomas K. Hamon,
David s. Bingham and James L. Layton,
for completely. Layton seems to have
been the executive man and operated
extensively in England.
