Killed in the DeLamar Mill.

A young man named James Kennedy,
wbo had only been in the camp few
days, was instantly killed in the De-
Lamar mill last Saturday. He was at
work on the pans, and while washing
out one pan with hose, stripped upon
the top of the adjoining pan and by
some means got canght by the driver
was thrown down and wound around
the drive shaft, and his head striking
some of the machinery, the top of his
skull was nearly lifted off. His right
leg was also horribly maugIed. When
he was caught, Mr.. George Best, ihe
head engineer, who happened to be on
The lower floor heard him cry out and
ran and stopped the engine at once.
Dick Cogrft, who WAS working on the
settlers below heard him, looked up
and saw him fall and being carried
around by the driver, and he turned
his head away to escape the horrible
sight.
Kennedy was strong well built young
man of about % years of age, and very
little seems to have been known about
him. He had told some of the men
that his father lived in St. Johns, New
Brunswick, and hat lie had been work
ing in Humbolt Connty, California, for
the past year. Coroner Richter held
an inqpest on the remains the evening
Of the accident, the jury rendering

mains were buried on Sunday after

The Denver Mining industry and
Tradtsman has made snch a complete
and concise an epiiome of the Mana
gers report of the D-Lamar mines that
l copy it instead of reviewing the report
as promised TO do this week:
We have received the report of the
DeLamar Mining Company of Idado,
for the year ending March 3lst, which
gives satisfactory showing. The total
receipts of the company for the year
amounted to $744. 1894 and the net
profit amount TO $3.50, ,653 %. The net
profit was consequently n per cent of
the " hole product.
The receipts were from ore milled and
from ore sold to smelters. The amonnt
received from sme tiers was Sl75.9S3,
leaving $685. ,643 as the value extracted
from milling ore. OF this l3, 43 ounces
we're gold and 3I6,ll2 ounces were
silver. No statement is made of the,
gold and silver contents of the ore sold
to smeters; only its value is given, 80
that the total of each metal prodnced
by the mine cannot he stated. But 76
per cent of the expense to the gold and
silver in the mill pro luct, in propor-
portion to the valne nf each produced,
we find it cost S4.34 to produce an
ounce of gold and 81 cents to produce
an ounce of silver, which makes the
DeLamar the cheapest producing mine
in America, at least among those which
make pnblic their report.
The numbrr of dry tons milled was
10 800, and its averag- value was S36.T
per lon. The percentage saved, Accord
ing to bullion returns, was .59 per
cent. Three hundred and thirty nine
tons were sold TO smelters, IL netting
S52S 48 per ton. The cost of mining
was 81. .I6 per ton, which includes 81 II
per ton, chargtd to the developieg ac-
count. The cost of milling WAS 81 50
per ton. Captain Plummer, manager
at the mine, estimates that there are
I2O, 900 tons of reserves in sight, having
gross value of $685. 50 pr ton, or total
value of S4 100000.

On Wedn,s sday a very old Chinaman,
who had been living in cabin down
opposite the Henrietta mill WAS found
dead in his cot. Chinamen are queer
people in dealing with their deal. 1t
seems to be characteristic of them to
have ghas!ly fear of a corpse. In this
instance the remains of the old man
were left lying in the cabin until late
Thursday night before it WAS reported
to white men. He was buried in Silver

Uncle Sam Is No Longer in the Ocean Carry

NEW YORK. Feb. civilian E. Ferguson.
of the New York Produce Exchange. who
Is a recognized authority on the statistics
of the grain export trade of this port. has
just made his annual report. The tables
compiled by Mr.. Ferguson show the enor-
nous increase of the grain export
trade of New York and the dwindling
away of the American ocean marine.
The American merchant marine flag is
being driven off the seas by Great Britain.
The completeness with which steam has
superseded sail in the ocean carrying trade
may be seen from the fact that of 1.2SS YES
sells which carried cargoes of grain from
this port during the year 1891 only fifteen
were sailing vessels. There were shipped
from New York during 1891 6S. ga. 52S BUSH
els of American grain to feed the hungry
mouths of Europe. Not included in this
were 260,317 bushels of b~uckwheat, which
appears in the statistics for the tirst time.
buckwheat never having been exported
shIp-loads only twenty-five were carried
under the American flag. There are only
four American steamers left in the gram
carrying trade. They are the old passen-
ger steamers of the late American line,
which used to run from Philadelphia under
the control OF the Pennsylvania railroad.
These -four lonesome steamers. about all
that is left of the American transatlantic
merchant marine, made twenty-five vOy-
ages during the year. Great Britain has
the lions share of the worlds carrying
trade and not less than 792 ship-loads left
this port under the British flag last year..

RAVAGES OF THE GRIP.
Many Persons Stricken with the Dread Dis
ease in Indiana and Michigan.

CHICAGO. Feb. Especial dispatches from
numerous points in Michigan and ndian
indicate a slight cessation of the epidemic
of grip that has prevailed throughout
those States during the past two months.
In q number of places. however. the dis
ease is raging with undated strength. At
Ann Arbor there are about 1880 cases.
Many of the most prominent citizens of the
town and a considerable number of stu
dents and professors at the State Univer-
sIty are among the sufferers. Upward of
5000 cases of the disease are said to be in
the county in which Coldwater. Mich, is
located. Bloomington and Shelby vile,
Ind. each report from 1000 TO 1900 cases.
At the latter place the death rate has been
very heavy comparatively, over two hun
dred fatal results being reported. In the
other towns. while the deaths are not so
numerous as when the disease first ap-
peared. and are confined almost wholly to
the aged, the mortality is still so large as
to excite alarm. Physicians express the
belief that the worst Is over, aud are con-
tident of their ability to stay its ravages.
[Although the grip has been severe at
several points in Indiana, no such number
of cases were recorded as are given in the
above dispatch.l

Patrolmen Asch and Crane made an i'm
portant arrest last night of a man who was
attempting to pay for q drink at q saloon
at 100 East Washington street. He gave
the mann of James Walker and his age as
twenty-five years. He is q tall. strongly
built man. and seems more like q farm
hand than the typical passer OF the queer"
he was discreet enough, however. to main
identity. The search of his person revealed
that he had S307.S s.. including twelve omar
ters. The latter are undoubtedly
spurious, being of a dull color, and
much lighter than the genuine.
The bartender, to whom one was
offered, had no difficulty or hesitation In
-pronouncing it counterfeit. and while de-
tanning the customer the patrOlmen were
sent for. Walker made no resistance.
The coins bear the date OF 1891. The bills
are largely in teD-dollar certificates. and
are so good it was impossible for the Off
GERS, last night, to determine whether they
are counterfeit or not. They will be
turned over to United States Marshal Car
ter to-day. The amount in paper money in
Walkers possession was sos. The balance.
except the twelve quarter coins. Is genuine

upon one of the street-car employees in the
transfer car, and the victim believes he
could identify the man who gave 1t to him
If he saw him. lie will be given q chance
to-day to identify Walker.
