III . Mineral King "Eoorn

Only few months since, when
the building of a wagon road to
Mineral King was suggested, there
were among our citizens those who
expressed the opinion that it would
only be throwing money away, and
that there was nothing in it. We
are pleased to note that there have
been such developments made in
the mines lately as to change this
sentiment to one of perfect confid-
ence in the wealth of this mineral
belt, as we'll as in the future of not
only Visalia, but in the entire
county of Tulare. Already we hear
it said that next summer will not
find vacant house in our town;
that to keep up with the require
ments of the times it will be nec-
essary for the railroad company to
extend their road to the foothills,
if no further; and that there will be
such an influx of people here soon
as to give an impetus to all our
home industries, and create others
for the employment of large
number of men. We see no reason
to doubt the fact that there will be
a rush of people to Mineral King
next year, and that it will so
stimulate business here as to nee
essitate the extension of the
Visalia railroad to the foothills, to
be followed by the employment of
the now idle sawmills in the
mountains, the building up of a
prosperous mining camp, demand
for our agricultural lands, and a
general revival of business through
out the Visdlid Delta.

Serious Accident.

While returning to his home on
the Nipomo Rancho last Wednes-
day afternoon, Antonio Delaci met
with a serious accident. His team
became frightened and ran away,
throwing Delaci over the DASH
board. In falling, he caught be-
tween the cross-bar and the axle
where he lodged. In this position,
he was dragged for some distance,
the horses kicked at every jump.
Finally, the team got loose from
the wagon, but Delaci became en-
tangled in the reins and was
dragged about one hundred yards.
The unfortunate man suffered a
compound fracture of the leg and
several minor Commissions. He was
taken home when Drs. Nicols and
Crepin of this city were summoned.
The injured man is doing as we'll
as can be expected. San Luis

Anti-Yaccinali0n Folly.

The coming of an English gentleman,
with craze against vaccination as a
preventive of smallpox, has been
made the occasion of an attempt to stir
up opposiiou to the practices of our
American physicians and boards of
health in this connection. BY parading
a portentious array of figures to show
that vaccination does not prevent small
pox, and does entail a vast amount of
disease through blood contamination,
not little feeling is aroused. especially
among the ignorant; the anti-vaccina-
ton spirit prevailing in England and
other European circles, embracing no
uncomfortable body of the more intelli-
gent classes, being urged as reasona-
BILE ground for similar opposition here.
Those who have echoed the anti-vac-
cination cry, however, do not appear
tt be familiar with the circumstance
that, owing to radically different meth
obs of obtaining and using the vaccine
virus here and in Europe. no argument
based on European results can have
any application here. The adverse sta
tistics derived from European expert
ence, or from American experience
previous to the adoption by our hysi-
clans of correct methods and uncon-
taminated virus, may all be strictly
true, and doubtless are substantially
true; yet our confidence in proper vac
cination need not be shaken in the
least. Accordingly our European
friends, instead Of trying to propagate
their notions here, would do much bet
ter to study the methods employed in
this country and try them at home.
Vaccine virus, not contaminated and
stripped of its virtue by over-humani-
zation-that is, by repeated transmits
sion from man to mans both free
from risks and of certain efficacy. No
better proof of this fact is required
han the practical stamping out of
smallpox in this great city. In view
of the fact that by the general adoption
of correct vaccination, smallpox, but
lately one of the worst of human
scourges, has been so thoroughly
brought under subsection in this great
city, that with !, 100000 there were last
year but fourteen cases of the disease,
it is manifestly as unwise as it is alb
surd for our newspapers 10 lend them
solves to the propagation of anti-vac-
cine nonsense Scientific American.

A MOMENT OF PERIL.
Thrilling Adventure in a Scranton Coal
Mine.
New York Herald.


Ii it were possible to turn gray OF fer
ror, the hair of Miss Floyd Jones, of
New York, should be as white as snow,
In consequence of an awful adventure
which she passed through at the Briggs
colliery of the Lackawanna coal and
iron company, in this city. She is
visiting the family of w. w. Scranton,
general manager of the iron company,
and expressed desire to visit the mine
for the purpose of witnessing the in
teresting and perilous process of min
ing and preparing anthracite for use.
Accordingly Mr.. Scranton, acting as her
escort, took along Mine Superintendent
Reese G. Brooks as an extra precaution
against venturing into danger After
inspecting the mine and seeing the men
at work the trio, guided by their flick
ering lamps, returned along the subter-
ranean halls to the foot of the shaft for
the purpose of making. the ascension
Superintendent Brooks signalled to the
engineer overhead, Albert Roskelly,
and told him the party wanted to be
holsted directly 70 the tower of the
breaker, which, rises one hundred and
fifty feet from the bottom, where they
were standing at the time. The object
of ascending to the tower was to make
an examination of the screen rooms
rollers and other departments where
the work of breaking and cleaning coal
was going on. The engineer answered
down through the tube "All right" and
the trio taking their places on the plat
form OF the carriage, were hoisted
swiftly up out of the mine into the
shaft of the tower.
Upon the carriage approaching the
sheave-wheel at the top, Engineer
Roskelly lost control of his engine, and
the party was hurled againt the heavy
timbers of the roof, swapping the wire
hosting rope asunder with the visitors
over an abyss four hundred and fifty
feet deep. 1t was moment of awful
fear. They expected to be dashed to
the bottom. They felt the carriage slip
sharply down few inches; then came
sudden jolt, halt, and they were
standing still. The safety catches,
which are generally more ornamental
than useful, sprang to th cir places and
held the carriage there. Even then the
situation was painfully perilous. The
slightest movement might cause the
catches to slip again, and everybody
seemed afraid to breathe. The position
in which the halt was made was not
within easy access of any landing, and
the party was forced to remain there
until the workmen came with ladders
to their relief. This took but very
few minutes, yet it seemed an eternity,
and it was with feelings of deep and
heartfelt thankfulness that they touch
ed firm landing once more. The only
bodily injuries inflicted by the shock
were slight cut which Miss Jones sus-
tanned on the side of the head when the
rope broke, letting q bolt descend from
the top of the carriage where it was at
tached, and the bruising of her shoulder
by contact with the post. They ale in

Al Horses Revenge.

Paris Correspondence Of the Loncon Telegraph.
The society for the protection of ami
mails against the cruelty OF human ami
mails is not remarkable for its activity
in this country. The police appear to
think il no business of theirs when car
tiers or coachmen brutally maltreat
heir horses in the streets, or when
boys amuse themselves by torturing
dogs and cats, or whatever other crest
ures have the i'll luck to fall into their
hands. The horses would appear to be
aware of the supineness Of their sup
posed protectors, for they have taken
the matter into their own hands, or
rather into their own teeth and feet. A
carter by dint OF hard fogging at his
three horses, persuaded them to drag
sixteen tons of coal to the foot of the
steep hill which leads to the Boulevard
Bessieres: but his powers of stimula-
ton utterly failed to induce them to
proceed any further-a thick steam
rose 10 from their painting sides and
nostrils. sBudgelY said the fend; anG
straightway the carter began to lash
and swear. a crowd gathered around
the ferocious beast, who abandoned
the lash and began to bang his stick
