Carson Tribune. Dec. As the wood
train was passing the Musser street cross
ing at 2 p. NJ. n Chinaman was seen on
the track. The engineer and conductor
roarsd out to him. but he was apparent-
ly deaf. The locomotive being in the
rear Of the train. 1t was impossible to
stop until nearly the whole train had
passed over the poor fellow. and strange
to say. be still lived. His right arm was
mashed to q jelly. the marrow exuding
from the sleeve OF his coat, and he was
ieariully cut about the head. lie sat on
the track. aud although there were over
twenty Mongolians present, not one
seemed willing TO touch him. and not
until they were compelled to do so by q
bystander would they remove him. A
big Chinaman picked him mp as u he
were q dog and stood him on his feet,
and stranger than all. the poor fellow
walked of towards Chinatown. IL was
q sickening sight. There can be no
blame attached to the train men,
because both whistle and bell were
sounding on passing the crossing. The
poor devil must have been deaf. or
drunk, or opiumized.

Those Trade Dollars.

NEw YoRK. Dec. 9.-Apprehensions
have been expressed that the passage OF
q Law making trade dollars a legal tender
would recall some thirty millions from
China, aud in this way greatly increase

by merchants here to be q mistake. rs II

lion trade dollars. exported to China In
the last 1--WE years. all but n or two
million have been chopped. and therefore

Hamburg special says Captain Schwen'
zen, OF the Pomerania, publishes in q
newspaper Of this city q statement Of
events relating to the disaster Of mid

Ever since I started the tunnel 1 have
had lawsuits on my hands. am getine
used to them aud now l rather enjoy
them. The tunnel is through o Do
yond the Savage. It is straight under

has cost millions OF dollars 10 build thai
road. Those millions were expended IN
the belief that the men who were 70 Dc
benefited by the tunnel would stand oy
their contract. 1 propose, or rather the
Tunnel Company proposes, to max
them stand by 1t now. whether they are
willing 10 do 80 or not.
Rsporter-But they claim that you
have not fulfilled your part Of the con-
tract.
MI. Sutro-I have fulfilled every par.
ticular OF my contract with them. Their
shafts are now much deeper than they
supposed they would be when the con.
tract wa made; but what has that got
TO do with my tunnelf They will re-
ceiye all the benefits from II that I ever
promised them. Ny tunnel strikes the
Savage at the 1910 level. Il makes an.
other surface for that mine l6iO feet
below the level OF the shaft. The 1000
level Of the Savage is now really but 360
feet below the surface. You see what 1
mean. II is Just the same NJ II all above
the 1910 level wal taken away and the
shaft was started anew from that point.
The mines are below me now. and 1

That Is all.
Reportsr-Is the drainage question

have passed below your leyslf
Mr.. Sutro-It IL affected In this way:
Instead Of my tunnel draining the mines
as We intended. the water will have to
DO pumped up to my level. But the
same principle comes In here. You can
throw off more water from q depth OF
$50 feet than you can from 1000 feet.
When the Savage Company comes to the
conclusion that IL had better pay me my
ROYALTY, which II will. the water that II
is now pumping from the lower levels
will have to be raised only 800 feet and

as security for their notes was not in-
