BOTH STATES WANT THE EARTH.

At Least Half OF That Part OF This
sphere which the Delaware Now oc-
oupies.
The dispute over the boundary line
between DelaN are and New Jersey, which
is Just now vexlng the authorities Of both
states, is likely to be either referred to
President Cleveland for decision, or sub
mitted to the Supreme Court for settle
ment. Both states claim jurisdiction
over the river for some distance above
and below New Castle.
In 1888 Charles II, then King, granted
to his brother James, Duke of York, a
tract OF laud within radius Of twelve
miles from New Castle, together with all
islands within this circle James after
wards transferred this TO William Penn,
and It afterwards became part Of
Delaware
This grant naturally gave jurisdiction
over the river, but New Jersey claims
that as the river is the boundary between
the states her jurisdiction reaches TO the
centre OF the stream

EIGHT SHUT IN BY FIRE
Miners Entombed Far Below
the Surface.
ALL ARE PROBABLY sUFFOoATED.

The Hoist House and Shaft Have Been De-
stroyed by Fire and Now There Is Little
Chance TO Rescue the aTen--smoks and
Gases Tin the Levels.
WHITE OAKS, n. NJ, March l1.-Fire
broke out in the change room Of the hoist
house Of the Old Abe mine, and in few
minutes the structure--a large and we'll
built one--was mass OF flames. 1t was
completely destroyed, together with the
wood and smith shops. The mill, go feet
away, escaped without damage. The wood
work Of the shaft was burned out, and the
hoisting machine WAS destroyed
The damage runs high up into the thou
sands, but the most distressing feature is
that some men are imprisoned In the dark
depths whose fate Ii unknown. There is
little ground for hope that they have es-
capped snifooation. IL win not be possible
to enter the mine to search for them until
some time this afternoon. Rosouing par
ties have been unable as yet 20 get down
further than the third level by the airshaft
Tho smoke and gases from the charred
wood Of the hoist shaft have penetrated tho
upper levels and it is impossible to pass
them. The entombed men are Charles
Sherriok, f. J. Williams, Frank Wilson,
John Davis, G.. Baxter, --- White, Jerry
Conover and w B. Mitchell. Wilson, Da-
Wis and Baxter are married
one Victim Was New Man.
White Is u new man and was on his first
shift Williams and Sherriok are old in
mining experience and have faced like
| dangers before. They are cool hee ID, and
| If any place Of safety was to be found they
/ found IL.
| Tho fire broke out while G. +. Wilkin-
son was going down in the bucket TO work.
| He had reached the ninth level when the
hoist was abandoned and was shot down
| 600 feet TO tho thirteenth level, where the
bucket struck, tipped and threw him into
the drift. He was stunned, but recovered
and climbed TO the second level and es-
capped by the airshaft. Coke Keith, Mike
Gallagher and Anton Howgate escaped
through the airshaft This Is the only So
rious mining accident since the burning
of the South Homestnke shaft several years
ago when two men were smothered.

The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-10-05

Ashworth's management of street work
wholesome overhauling of the methods
which for so long have disgraeed the City
seems imminent. Mr.. Ashworth is unfor-
tunate also in having lost the confidence of
the Merchants Association, through whose
efforts he was checked in his desire to con-
tinue the work of sweeping the streets. In
this matter he showed the Street Commit
tee that he could 90 the sweeping at cost
of IS cents a thousand square yards and
insisted that it could not be done for less.
Still the Street Committee has recon-
mended that the contract be let to a pri-
vate bidder for 1875 cents. This is diff
ference of nearly 20 per cent and yet
the contractor must expect to make pro-
fit out of the work.
The scandalous inadequacy of the con-
tract paving OF Guerrero street was of too
recent occurrence to have been forgotten
by this time, but now comes another
equally as bad. 1t is the pavement of
Twelfth street, which both the Grand jury
and the Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors have inspected and found to
be utterly worthless. In the latter case
one of Superintendent Ashworth's deputies
was standing idly by and if he bad any in
telligence must have seen that the work
was not being properly done. Mr. Ash
worth irresponsible for the acts OF his dep
uties.
The trouble with the Superintendent
seems to be that he desires to make his
Office as useful as possible in a political
way, and that the.interests OF the City are
a secondary consideration. This is the
oldway of conducting the public business
of San Francisco. 1t is the necessary out
come and sole aim of boss politics of the
kind which has dis6raced the City for so
many years. Many citizens had hoped
better things of Mr.. Ashworth He was
known to be intelligent and courageous,
and believed to be possessed of q high sense
OF official responsibility. His recent con-
duct in many particulars has been direct
challenge to the reform sentiment which
prevails among the people, and his conduct
comes at time when twill serve a most
useful end in Strengthening that sentiment
and ultimately fastening the day when
methods of the kind pursued by Mr.. Ash
worth will be swept out of existence.

+" THE SUNDAY GALL"

THE SUNDAY CALL which is to appear to-
morrow will be paper Of unusual interest.
Joaquin Miller treats in poetic manner
the question of the "Color of California"
In his eyes the Golden State has DOM
inant hue which ought to be respected and
reverenced by all.
w. G. Morrow has an entertaining chap
ter under the heading What l Would Do
for San Francisco Were 1 a Millionaire"
Some of the great money-makers of the
State are offered hin is which would be of
value to themselves and to the community
if properly accepted and acted upon.
John McNaught's Random Notes" are
unusually bright and entertaining. He
takes philosophic view of the every day
affairs of life and instructs while he
amuses.
Charles A. Keller has another chapter
in his history of Bird Life in California"
In this department Mr.. Keller has few
rivals. 1t is probable that no one else has
given so much study to this question as
the writer of these articles.
Dan de guile, who was a contemporary
OF Mark Twain on the Comstock lode IN
the early sixties, and who still maintains
his home on the sioping side of old Mount
Davidson, in Virginia City, New, has
written a tale of early life in California
entitled Little Tum Tum OF Bartons Bar"
which is one of the best stories ever pro
duced by this veteran writer. Ernest c.
Stock gives another installment of Colonel
Strong's "reminiscences. Mary @. Johnson
has an entertaining chapter for boys and
girls, Marcella tells OF the newest dictates
of fashion, and an excellent department
for book-readers will be found in to-mor-
rows issue.
Particular attention is drawn to the fact
that the San Francisco CALL has a tele-
graphic news service different from and
better than that of any other journal pub
lished IN San Francisco. This service is
furnished by the United Press, which is
distinctive from all other news-gathering
organizations of the country. Whether
you take any other paper or not, you must
read THE CALL in order that you may get
all of the news of the world.
