We understand the Eureka base ball

not lost their cunning the boys of the

of that caravansary. Mr.. French has

They have been little unfortunate at
the test salt well, last week breaking
their drill, and this week has been spent
in fishing for the piece. This morning
they thought they had at last got the
broken drill in such position that they
could get it out today and next week
be able to proceed with the work. Else
where will be found notice of the last
assessment Of fifty per cent of the suit
scriptiOn. 1t is hoped that subscribers
to the fund will be prompt in payment.
We understand an application is to be
made at the next meeting of the Board
of Supervisors for small appropriation
to drive piles in Indian River to form
jetties to clear the channel OF sand at
the bar at the mouth of Sturgeon river.
The Clifford brothers have dredged a
channel through with their tug. and it
is thought if jetties were put i'm. it
would deepen and widen this channel
and secure much better navigation, and
prevent all trouble in the future. As it
will not take very large sum, and as
the improvement is Of great Importance
to this popular route, we would like to
see the work done.
Thursday morning young man en-
ployed at the Duncan City mills as tail
sawyer, met with quite severe accident.
The carriage gigs back quite rapidly
and in going back caught a slab which
struck the man near the knee, catching
him between The end of the slab and
one of the live rollers. The force was so
great as to break the bone of the knee
and badly bruise his leg. DR.. G. A. Per-
rim was called and rendered all the sur
gical aid possible, but thinks that the
young man will be afflicted with stiff
leg the rest of his life. The injured
man had only been working in the mill
for few days, and the accident was,
probably, partly owing to his inexperi-
ence, which prevented him being suf-
fciently upon the lookout to AVOID the
dangers incident to the position.
The preliminary test of the water works
last Saturday developed some leaks in the
pipes, one in front of the Spencer House
