The Signal Corps.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 29-The Signal Corps, Third Brigade, Lieutenant Fred l.. Martin commanding. had a grand outing on Sunday, the 23d. Apart from the signal practice and other work accom- plished, the field day was a most profit able and interesting one, as it demon- strated in a practical way the utility or the bicycle as means of conveyance for the signal service. All the members Of the corps were mounted on bicycles and full signaling equipment was carried. The corps commissary wagon accom- panied the boys, and at noon a genuine military meal was served, consisting of the usual provender of bacon, beans. hardtack, coffee, etc., cooked in the "Buzzecott' oven now in use by the Ma tional Guard.
 A start was made from the armory about o'clock on Sunday morning, the Folsom wheelway being taken to point near the American River, about fifteen miles from Sacramento. There temporary camp was established, and signal sta- tions were deployed to surrounding points, establishing communication with each other. Pistol practice was also part of the work of. the corps, and served to sharpen the sights of the soldiers for their annual shoot, which will take place tomorrow.
 Major Douglas, signal officer of the Third Brigade, accompanied the corps as far as Perkins.

AWFUL DEATH
 OF LABORER Whirled Around the Big Bullwheel in a
 Sawmill.
One Hundred Revolutions a Minute Until He Is
 Released.
shockingly Mangled, He Suffers

Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Feb. 1.-Richard Hem- broth, workman at the Tacoma Lum- Der Company's sawnill, met terrible fate this afternoon. While at work about the machinery he was caught by large belt and whirled around the bull wheel, making nearly 100 revolu- tions per minute. His body had to pass. through a space less than fifteen inches wide, resulting in serious inter- nal injuries for the unfortunate man. who was above medium size. In some manner his feet got caught in the wheel and in a twinkling both were torn off below the knees.
 An awful scene met the gaze of his fellow-workmen when the machinery was stopped and Hemroth lifted from his agonizing position. Strange to re- late, he remained conscious, and when the patrol wagon arrived to convey him to a hospital he quietly directed that his feet be sent up by the next car. Hembroth thought his life might be saved, but this was found impossible, all the doctors could do being to ease his sufferings up to 6 o'clock, when he died. His wife reached his bedside and ministered to his last wants.

A Happy Idea Coat,

A number of years ago an order pro-
viding for a change in the full dress
coat burst like a Dombshell upon the
young officers of the United States
steamship Alert, which was to sail
within a week for a cruise down the
coast The commanding officer, who
was a stickler for naval regulations, in
sisted that the order be obeyed before
the vessel left San Francisco. A stay of
several weeks here had depleted the
pockets of the steerage officers, and the
paymaster would not listen to an ad-
vance. Seven men needed seven coats
at collective price of 1929.
A hasty "tarpaulin muster" resulted
in a total of less than $75 A happy
thought struck bright young ensign.
The coats would be needed only when
it was necessary to accompany the cap
tain ashore on official visits And only
one officer went at time. Why not buy
one coat and have it altered by the
ships tailor each time it was used? AL
though the largest man weighed almost
200 pounds and the smallest tipped the
scales at 1870 the suggestion was gladly
adopted. 1t is said that when the Alert
returned to San Francisco that full
dress coat contained more seams and
than crazy guilt. Los An

The Eureka Mines.

Charles A. Barnard of Chicago, sew
Ell Years ago a resident of Montpelier,
arrived in town last Friday night. Mr..
Barnard, as agent for the owners of
the Eureka mines, formerly known as
the Pike Hill mines in COrinth, visited
the plant Monday in company with E.
w. Thompson of Chicago to make an
examination of the property with the
object in view of interesting capitalists
to purchase and work it. The mines
were profitably worked for some time
until about 20 years ago when the low
price of copper and difficulty In the
management caused shut down and
work has not since been resumed. The
examination Monday was not as thor
ough as desired, the fallen debris and
dirt collected during the past years
preventing this. Nevertheless the eX-
animation was satisfactory, some rich
specimens being found and all signs
indicating a valuable piece of property
if properly worked. Messrs. Barnard
and Thompson left Tuesday for Chi
cago. taxing with them the specimens
to show to copper experts and capital
lists Interested in mining. Mr.. Bar
nard NAV return in a week or two with
an EXPERT miner who will look over the
property very thoroughly in order to
give expert information to any con
templating a purchase. The people of
Bradford and vicinity will watch for
further developments of this matter
with much interest. If capitalists
should decide that there is money in
the Eureka mines and work them it
would mean much for this town. One
of the first things they would in all
probability do should be to build an
electric road from this station to the
mines in order to obtain railroad facil-
titles. Much of the business would be
transacted from this point and twould
mean quite little boom in Bradford S
business. We hope the capitalists viii
be found who desire to extract the
wealth from the Eureka mines and
help boom business in this section of
the county.
