DANeEn0us 20.

! Tunnelton was excited Sunday
and Monday over the Disappearance
of stranger who came along Sat
nrday evening late and asked the
telegraph operator whether he.could
go through the tunnel or should go
over it. The operator tod him not
to attempt to go through, but to
follow the telegraph line over the
hill. Nothing has been seen of
him since, and Sunday some parties
passing over the hill noticed the
tracks where some one had elm bed
over the fence around Shaft No. 1 /.
and all the indications pointed to
the supposition tina: whoever it
was had fallen in. This is the place
where Joe Ashby lost bis life several
years ago. TIE shaft has filled up
% feet since then, but is still a
about 10 feet deep, and is n very
dangerous place since a much fire.
quented path passes over the tunnel
right by this place. 1t has been
kept fenced up since Ashby's death,
but the theory IN tins last case was
that the stranger passing over the
tunnel Saturday night came to the
fence, and not knowing anything
about the hole, naturally climbed
over, thinking it the fence around
a field. The tracks went right down
into the mouth of the Pit and the
weeds were mashed down, making
the theory Of his death very plaus-
BILE one. Sunday evening Deputy
Sheriff Runaway, of Tunnelton,
telegraphed States ATTORNEY Fort
ney, who went up Monday morning.
Under his directions an examina-
ton was made. and it was decided
that there was no one in the shaft.
A large glass was Rsed, and the sun
being just right, they could by this
means see the bottom very plainly.
10 make sure, they fastened small
piece of paper on a board with a
tack and threw it in the pit. They
could see this very easily, and could
even see the tack, so powerful was
the focus. The States Attorney is
of the opinion that there is no one
in the shaft and that the stranger
passed on his way. lie thinks that
the tracks might have been made
by some one for joke, or by some
reckless boys, or even the stranger
may have come that near getting in,
and finding his mistake succeedrd
IN getting out safely. Mr.. Fortney
is going to try and have this dan
gerous place filled up, either by the
county or compel the b. s. o. II. r..
to do so. 1t is of 10 use now and
has been gradually filing up any.

[The price paid for Tournament is the

dred, the stallion imported from Aus
tralia about seven years since by j. B..
Haggin. The sale was certainly one of
the most successful on record, the
prices paid for untried 2-year-olds being
surprisingly good. Ballarat was a bar
gain at $4100. He was very little in
terror to Tournament as a 2-year-old.

AUSTRALIA AND THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.

It is astonishing how little is really
known in this country about Australia.
These colonies are about as large terri
torially as the United States. They are
still comparatively sparsely settled
Originally English penal colonies, they
have during the past thirty years bene-
fited by an exceptionally fine class of
population. The discovery of gold in
Australia happened few years later thar
in the case of California, i and the weld was
prolific in the extreme. In single
year one hundred and seventy-four tons
of the yellow metal were gathered by
the Australian Argonauts. The climates
of Australasia are properly expressed in
the plural, and embrace great contrarie-
ties. That country is, however, princi-
pally interesting from its economic fea-
lures. 1t is probably the Paradise
of the working man. The largest
wages paid anywhere in the
world are received by the laborer
in Australia. Not only that, but
here eight hours constitutes a days
work. 1t has required no agitation to
bring this result about. 1t was adopted
naturally, and no one has ever thought
of disputing its rightfulness. This is a
striking contrast to the angry vehe-
mence with which the demand for eight
hours is met in republican America.
One would naturally suppose that in q
country like this, founded on the doc
trine of the freedom and equality of man,
this concession would have been made
very readily. Yet there is positive
fanaticism on the part of the employers
of labor in resisting it. In Europe such
an attitude can be easily understood.
| The workingman is there really the
slave of the operators, and the latter re-
sent any attempt he may make to amel-
iorate his condition. No real incon-
venience results from the liberality
with which the workingman is
| treated in Australia. A condition oi
universal prosperity appears to exist all
over the colony. All classes seem to
work in harmony, and no evil results
from the curtailed hours of work. That
this will ultimately be the remedy for
the multiplication of labor-saving ap-
pliances everywhere there is very little
reason to doubt. The high wages re-
ceived by artisans and laborers of all
grades IN Australia is unquestionably
largely due to the great distance of that
continent from the centres of the eau
casian race. California also has suffer
ed from this cause; but, far as we are
from the popular centers of Europe and
America, this drawback has been in
tensifed in the case of Australia. That
the British colonies there will one day
be great, wealthy and populous nation
modelled on the United States there is
every probability.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-05-15

THAT California is proverbially gen.
erous state in most things has long been
known, but when it comes to school
matters she is positively lavish. The
number of pupils attending the public
schools in this state, for instance, is
221 ,756, while in Kansas it is 800, ,322-
nearly twice as large. Yet in California
the total expenditures were $5,1l9, ,O97,
while in Kansas they footed up s., ,972,-
967. We are perhaps most lavish in the
iberality of our remuneration to teach
ers. In California this runs up to $19. 40
per capita, while in Kansas it foots up
$1007. 1t has long been question with
taxpayers as to whether we are not en-
tirely too extravagant in our allotments
of teachers salaries. All other lines of
business have come down to substan-
tally the level of the east, but we per-
sist in giving the old gold-yielding, find
a-fortune-in-a-gulch figures to those who
teach the young idea how to shoot. AS
the cost of living in California is really
cheaper than in the east we do not see
why these discrepancies should be per-
mitted to exist, any longer, at least to
