DIphthcrin on the Com.tock.

We are informed by DR.. Harris that
diphtheria has made it's appearance in
two families on the Divide nnl in one
family at Gold Hill. The disease rs de-
ve!oped on the divide is Of n very ma
liSnant type. All know well the dan
gerons nature of tho disease, therefore
its p~ieseucn being made known u peo-
pls will doubtless use every possible
%precaution to prevent its spread. 1t is
usually thought that diphtheria is super
induced by sewer gas. but there is
neither sc wcr nor stasnant water in the
neighborhood i'll which tue disease has
recently made ito appearance. Both on
the Divide aud Gold Hill (uear the
Overmau miue) tho western gales, fresh

ASSESSOK az LARGE.

One Of the bills to lie considered 10y
the Legislature, says tho Eureka Scnli-
mol, Id to make the office OF Assessor n
Stnte Office. The scheme il to have nm
Assessor at large, with deputies in the
several counties. The law, il passed, is
to 30 into OPERATION when the present
iucumhents go ont The railron Is and
heavy cnttlOmen are said to favor it.
THIS il II tirst.clHss reason why every
body eIso should oppose tt White
Pine News.
The INDEPENDENT would oppose my
such scheme on the ground that the
Office of Assessor ia purely n county Of
flee, as much no rs that Of Clerk, Re-
cordor Or any other county Office, and
wo fail to SEQ wherein the people would
bc benefited in the lenst by such n
measure. The Same influence which
partially destroyed the efficiency Of our
public schools by consolidating tho
Office Of School Superintendent with
that Of District Attorney will no doubt
be found advocating tho State Assessor
project. We trust Tint thore is sufi-
oient Intelligence in the present Legis-
laturc not only 10 dsfeat such n mens-
ure but to restore tho Office OF County
Superintendent Of Schools and add to
tho efficiency Of our school system by
giving him n living salary and clothing
him with such powers as are commensu-
rato with tho importance q his posi-.
ton.

Inspection of Factories.

Inspection OF Aactoflehs
Over 1000 manufacturing, mercantile and
public buildings, hotels, tenements and apart
ment houses have been inspected by the state
inspectors thus far during the present year.
Hundreds Of defects we're found Of various
natures, but the owners, upon having their
attention called to the same, invariably
showed cheerful disposition TO comply with
the provisions Of the inspection laws The
principal defect has been lack Of protection
Of machinery, betting, gearing and pulleys.
The set screw, when it has been left exposed,
has been looked upon IS a terror by mill
operatives, as It has been the cause not only
Of serious injuries. but of many fatalities
Inspectors have made the most strenuous
exertions to have such dangerous attach
ments most thoroughly protected Under
the laws, children in factories are not per
mitted to clean any part Of machinery while
II is in motion, or any part that is in danger
Gus proximity to such moving part Cases
of women having their hair caught in ma
ehinery are very rare nowadays They are
compelled in many factories to wear their
hair in such manner that it will not hang
down behind OF fall in curls. The boxing Of
pulleys, betting aud shafting has been prime
means Of preventing such casualties which
were previously Of frequent occurrence.
The last case occurred early in 1883. Il
was that Of an operative who, while stoop-
ing to pick up stool which had fallen be-
tween two frames, had her hair caught in a
loose pulley, drawing her head down on the
same. She was fortunately released before
any serious injury could result, and escaped
with severe cuts.
In August, 1887, fatal case occurred in a
factory at Natick, where a woman got upon
a bench to close window, when her hair
caught in some way on shaft or set screw
near the hanger, and her scalp was torn
completely from her bead. The above is the
only fatal accident that has occurred TO a
woman in any factory or manufacturing es-
tahlishraent in Massachusetts, in four years.

Dr. Kukenthal, who with DR.. Walter has
been away this summer making explorations
in the Arctic regions around Spitzbergen, has
just returned to Bremen, and has reported to
the Geographical society of that place, at
whose expense the expedition he commanded
was fitted out, that he has discovered a new
and important ocean current flowing through
the whole length of the Olga strait from
north to south. II was observed everywhere
and at all times from Northeast Land to the
Ryk Use and King Charles Land Only on
the shallow coasts was it overcome by the ebb
and flow Of the tide. The explorers will make
