YOUNG wAcHHoRsT's DEATH
Principal Hoitt Of the School Re
Iates How It Occurred.

Ira G. Hoitt, ex-State Superintendent
of Public instruction, came up from
Menlo Park yesterday to attend the
funeral of Herbert Wachhorst, who
was a member of Hoitt's School and
who fell from the Searsville dam last
Saturday, a distance of thirty-five feet,
and died within an hour.
Young WachhoIst was very fond Of
| photography, and he, with two other
students and Professor Whiting, start
ed on Saturday forenoon for a trip to
the dam, about three miles from the
I school, for the purpose of taking photo
graphs They arrived at the dam "a
little before noon, took their lunch, and
commenced to take their pictures.
Wachhorst had taken two or three
views, including some members OF the
party. He then set out to go part OF
! the way down and have his own
picture taken. The Professor was
watching his progress from distance
and saw him sway and topple over,
but could not tell whether he slipped
| or stepped over accidentally, or became
dizzy.
| A doctor was summoned from Red
wood City by telephone, but the poor
| boy was dead when the doctor arrived.
1t was found that his skull was crushed
and several bones broken.
/ In speaking of the deceased, DR.. Holtt
said: His death cast a. sorrow upon
! the whole school. 1t is the first deatn
! in the school since its organization,
| eight years ago Herbert was by no
means a careless boy. He was stud1ous'
and had just passed successfully his
mid-term examination. He was also
very handy with electrical apparatus
and arranged battery and electric
bell so that he could lie in his peo'
press the button and call all the boys
in the building.

will throughout the world. who have out

their petition filed in December last Tor
a side and wheel path on that road, be
taken up. The people owning property
on the route had all signed it, as we'll
as many business men and heavy tax
payers They said it was a necessity
and greatly needed
Surveyor Boyd, after his report of the
survey of the route approving of the
proposition was read, addressed the
board and urged that action be taken at
once, saying that the board would kill
two birds with one stone, as the path
construction would largely correct
drainage defects and fiat places in the
road, besides affording a great con-
venience to the people.
Mr.. Wocdson, supported by Mr.. Day,
for the Capital City Wheelmen, ad-
dressed the board and asked that &C
ton be taken speedily, and set forth the
economic reasons therefor.
President Curtis warmly favored or
dering the construction at once, while
the ground is soft and can be econo1n-
ically worked. He thought the petit
ton one that was worthy to be granted.
All the Supervisors favored building
the path, but Supervisor Mclaughlin
wanted to know hrSt the state OF the
funds. Supervisor. ellis echoed the
same sentiment and Supervisor jenkins
was in favor of speedy action, but
wanted half the cost to come out OF
the general fund, the other half to be
divided between the district fund and
the general read fund.
Mr. Burns beseeched the board not to
put off the matter, and said impatlently
that if the board was going to refuse
he would start a subscription and head
it with $40 to build the path, II the
board would dedicate the right of way,
which suggestion was repudiated by
the others of the committee.
Finally. after a protest on the part
of Chairman Curtis that the board knew
well enough the state OF the FUNDS 10

was put over until 2 p. m. on FRIDAY.

A NEW IDEA.
Suggestions on the Cheap Working
 of a Small Quartz Mine.

w. H. Willscraft, of Juniper, fur nishes the following suggestions in the Journal Miner on quartz min ing. Arastras and stamp batteries can be run successfully with wind mills. Fuel is very expensive in many places, and high velocity of wind prevails about three-fourths of the time. For large plants, twenty-five to fifty stamps, large wind mills can be erected on the hills, where they will get the full force of the wind, then either run an electric dynamo and store suffi- oient electricity to run the machin- cry when the wind does not blow, or run air comprcssors and have storage tanks. By this system wind mills and air compressors power can be genera ated and trans mitted for 5 per cent of the cost of steam power, and it is better adapt ed to this line of industry, especial ly for running hoists and machine drills.
 A good sixteenfoot power mill will run two-stamp battery, 600- pound stamps, and pump the water. A good practical plant for the prospectors is five stamp bat tery with stamps of 600 pounds each, amalgamating plates, battery feeder, a six-foot concentrator, a water tank, force pump and pipes of proper size. The pump can be placed in we'll 800 feet distant r. the mill, if desired, and a rope run from the wind mill to the pl p to drive it. A twentyfoot

Of Importance to Miners.

Super1ntendents of government forest reserves in all the western states and territories where mining is carried on, have received the fol- lowing instructions from the com missioners of the General Land Of flee, as to tbe cutting of timber on government forest reserves:
 Referring to the provisions of the Act of June 4, 1897, for the free use of timber, as regulated by par agraph 21, page 12 of rules and regulations governing forest le- serves, ycu are advised as follows:
 Any person authorized by the said Act to secure forestry reserve timber for his own individual needs may procure it through a sawmill operator or other person acting as his agent direct but, however pro- cured, whether by his own hands or an agent direct, he should first confer or communicate with you directly, or through the nearest forestry officer, designating the To- cation, amount and value of the timber proposed to be cut, the place where and the purpose for which the said timber will be used ; stating what saw mill or other agent, if any, will be employed to do the cutting, removing and saw ing and pledging that no more shall be cut from the reservation than he needs for use on his OWL land or claim, and that none shall be sold, disposed of nor used on any other than his own land or claim and guarantee to remove and safely dispose of all tops, brush and refuse cutting, beyond danger of fire therefrom.
