Times says that the mission and san
itarium at Wha Sang, near Ku
Cheng, province of Fokein, were
attacked by Chinese mob and the
Rev. Mr.. Stewart, wife and child
were burned in their house. The

ters named Saunders, two sisters
named Gordon and Stelle Newcombe
were murdered with spears and
swords. Miss Cordinston was seri.
ously wounded about the head, and
a knee cap OF Mr.. Stewards eldest
child was badly injured, while the
youngest had an eye gouged out.

Electrical experiments that prom
ise much for the prosperity AMI
development of mining in the west
are being made in Nevada county,
Cal. A large part Of the mining
industry of that region has been sus-
pended during recent years because
OF the great difficulty and cost OF
securing power to run the machinery.
With steam or direct water power
the cost is from $3.50 to $500 horse
power a year. The attempt is to be
made to generate electricity by
water power at a considerable dis
tance from the mines and to transfer
the power to the mines by wire.
Two 450 horse power generators are
being put in at q point on the Yubs
river, seven miles above Grass VAL
ley, and the power will be transfer
red this distance to run the mining
machinery. The engineers believe
power can be supplied in this way
for 500 horse power at the most.
II the scheme is successful very
