Joe Polar Meets With a Terrible
Death at Angels Camp.
Buried Beneath a Huge Mass Of Debris In
the Utica Mine.
Another Highbinder War Narrow
ly Averted in San Francisco's
Chinatown-An Unknown Ch1n-
ese Fires Two Shots at a Scout
of a Rival Faction.

SAN ANDREAS lCal), Nov. "A ter
rible accident happened in the Slckle
shaft of the Utica Company at Angels
Camp Yesterday, a miner named Joe
Polar being crushed to death under sew
eral tons Of rock.
The fatality occurred in a chute be-
tween tie 700 and S00-foot level. The
rock is dumped into this chute from the
upper level and taken out at the lower
end The rock frequently clogs in 1t,
and has to be shaken up with giant
powder in order to make it descend.
This happened yesterday, but the
charges of giant powder failed to dis
turb the hanging rock, and to all APP
pearance it was solid.
While Polar, J. Florence and three
other miners were dragging a timber
over it the mass began to sink under
their feet. Three of the miners had al
ready cleared the chute, but Polar and
Florence went down with the sinking
mass.
After they had been carried down
about forty feet the loose rock settled,
and Florence sank into it to his knees,
but Polar was embedded in it, with the
exception of his head. He was terri
blv injured. and realized that he was
doomed, for he asked Florence TO say
good-by for him to all his friends.
A moment later Florence again spoke
to the man, but he was dead. A rope
was lowered to Florence, which he TED
around his body, and the mass was
started again from the lower level
A large force of men was put to work
clearing the lower end of the chute, and
about three hours after the accident the
body of Polar appeared among the sink
ing debris. 1t was horribly mangled
and the skull was fractured.
The remains We're taken to the Utica
Hospital and turned over TO the Cor
Oner.

The United States census gives the
number of deaths from alcoholism in
1880 as 1892; in 1890, 1857, an increase
of sixty-seven per cent. If the same
ratio has been maintained during the
past seven years, the present annual
death rate from alcoholism is nearly
four thousand.

Among recent methods of supplying
air and heat to buildings there is one
involving the use of fans, which draw
the air through closely woven silk
screens or baths that wash and render
it free from all impurities. The shafts
into which the atmosphere is drawn
extend to a considerable height above
the building to avoid dust and con-
tamination; and the air, after being
brought to the right temperature and
the proper degree of moisture, IS dis
tributed from the basement through
the building.

Among the other peculiar fea ture
of the $500 expert report that

cerned, the Offices of county Judge,
county commissioners, county as
SCISSOR and county superintendent
were not exported. While he was
in the business it might have been
a good idea to have made a report
on these Offices. For instance, if
the Office of commissioner had been
thoroughly "experted" it might
have been ascertained just what
disposition was made of the $50
appropriated by the county couple
of years ago for the entertainment

If it be true, as alleged by the Sa-
lem Statesman, that there are ST..
900, 900 piled up in the state treas
ury, the question naturally arises
as to where it comes from and how
it got into the treasury. The state
has ceased payment of warrants on
ly since last December, and it was
generally understood at that time
that the various funds were about
exhausted. Surely the amount of
money named by the Statesman has
not been paid into the treasury since
January I. In all truth, however,
the case is bad enough. There is
probably in the neighborhood of
million dollars locked up in the
treasury, or loaned out oy him to
favored banks and corporations. If
it is locked up in the treasury then
it is so much money drawn from
circulation from all over the state,
and it cripples the business of the
state just that much. But there is
little probability that this money is
locked in the vaults of the treasury.
The greater probability is that it is
loaned to certain favored banks and
corporations at low rate of inter
est to be i'll turn loaned out at
higher rate of interest to their GUS
toners, who were part of the tax
payers who first paid the money in
to the state treasury. This the
robbery that is being committed up
on the people of Oregon. And yet
some people seem to like it.
