DEEP MINING.


said to be that of the Calumet and
Hecla copper mine, in Michigan.
1t is six compartment shaft, and
reaches into the earth 5000 feet YER
tically Such a dip into the bowels
of the earth in pursuit of hidden
treasures was deemed utterly i'm
prac ticable only few years ago.
1t is well settled that there is a
gradual increase of temperature as
depth is attained. 1t is also well
established that the ratio varies
greatly according to locality In
some places the heat increases very
rapidly. and the point of human en-
durance is soon reached, owing
primarily to the peculiar geological
conditions present. This is the case
with the Comstock lode. Even at
the depth of 1900 feet the rocks were
found as insufferable to the naked
touch as a piece of polished steel
when exposed to the sun in the
hight of sum ner. Workmen at 1000
feet or more beneath the surface
sweltered in a temperature of 120
degrees and upwards. 1t is report
ed on unquestioned authority that
eight months after the great fire
which destroyed the Belcher shaft,
the rock at the bottom was found to
be so hot as to set fire to the timbers
which were placed in contact there
with. To obviate the danger from
this source, a stream of cold water
was played upon the still glowing
mass, only 100 feet from the surface.
From this still highly heated condi-
ton of the Comstock assure, it is
argued that the lode is of compare
lively recent formation. Sufficient
time has not elapsed since nature
laboratory ceased to work in the up
building of this gold and silver bear
ing vein to enable the cooling pro-
cess of the adjacent rocks to reach
its ultimate limit. On the CONS took
lode, therefore, the increase of heat
is from three to four degrees for
every 100 feet of descent. This, we
believe, is the maximum ratio met
with in mining experience. The at
tainment of depth of 5000 feet is
impossible under such conditions.
The average rate of temperature in
crease is given at one degree for
every 60 feet. At this rate, assum-
ing the temperature at the surface
to be 30 degrees, in the mines of
Lake Superior the miners would
have to operate in a temperature of
$50 degrees at the depth of 5000 feet.
That would be borderidg on the
quitting point. No doubt the heat
encountered is considerably below
that point.
In Amador county the increase of
heat presents no serious drawback
to mining. Inconvenience is met
with from difficulty in supplying
fresh air to the underground work
ings, but this can be overcome, and
is distinct from the natural increase
of temperature due to internal heat.
There seems to be no reasons
far as geological conditions are con-
cerned-why mining should not be
prosecuted to as great depths along
the mother lode as in the Lake Su-
perior copper mines.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The San Jose Mercury, suggests,
in view of the muddle into which
our laws have been thrown by the
recent decision of the supreme court
declaring the amended codes invalid.
that the laws as enacted by the
legislature should be passed upon by
the highest court before going into
effect AS it is nov. the laws are
passed in hit-or-miss fashion. they
go into operation, and are enforced
without any competent tribuna! be-
ing called to pass upon their validity,
until some person actually involved
In litigation appeals to the supreme
court. Under this mischievous svs
tenn, several months must elapse
before it can be ascertained whether
the laws as enforced are valid or
otherwise. In this interval the peo,
pie are on the anxious seat, not
knowing where they are at, and too
often eventually find that much
harm has been done, and time and
money expended for naught, because
the highest court of the states rules
that the newly made law is no law
at all. Our legal system has been
thrown into confusion by the late
decision of the highest court. All
of which would have been avoided if
there existed any provision that
before becoming operative every law
must be passed on by the highest
tribunal. 1t devolves upon the law
makers to devise some remedy of
this nature, so that certainty of the
legality OF any legislative enact
ment may take the place of the I'M
certainty under the present system.
The statesman who accomplishes
this needed reform will be hailed as
the greatest public benefactor the
state has known for many years.

THE value of church property in
Amador county, as reported to the
state board of equalization, by the
assessor, is given as $3.50. Build
ings used exclusively for religious
worship are exempt from taxation.
This exemption, however, as will be
seen from the comparatively small
value of church property, cuts very
little figure in the tax rate. The
total value of all church property in
California is between 50, 900, 900 and
81, 100000.

How do you fix the value of this lace
quilt at $500?" the court asked.
at was worth that much; l wouldn' t
have sold it for any price"
but how did you ascertain the value?"
1.-THE materials alone cost over $100."
"Is that alp"
Il made the quilt myself, and it took
me over year. 1 think my labor is
worth the balance
Did you work on it every day."
Yes
Sundays too?''
Sometimes"
Where did you get the money to buy
all these things?"
81 had money of my own
weren't you under guardianship"
My guardian gave me money"
How much money did you receive
| from Mr.. Magoon in the past three
| years?"
| Il do not know 1 can tell if look at
my books at home"
| You got all your property back after
the fire, didn't you?"
Yes, but it was spoiled; couldn't use
| 1t any more"
Were the calabashes you have here
listed at $780, Destroyer"
| NO, they were not
| Have you got them YETI
mo, they were never returned to ME
Some one stole them, 1 think, while the
| house was quarantined."
/ The claimant was very honest in hel
statements and answered the questions
| of the commissioners very freely.
You have here two old quilts at 500
How much were they worth?'
, Il don't know"
| Were they worth that rnuch?''
NO, 1 don't believe they were"
! IF you were to buy them now, how
much would you be willing to give fol
them?"
Il wouldn't buy them at all; they we've
too old
lis twenty-five dollars a fair price FOL
them?"
Yes, I think So"
This feather lei for $3.50, what woult
/ you give for THAR"
They are very scarce now; it is worth
about $500
Would you give as much as $3.50 fol
it?'
| NO, l don't think I would"
| The claimant was questioned closely as
| to the number of dresses she had, but
said she didn't know exactly; but she
had a good many. They were all de
stroyed by fumlgation, but she said she
had the fragments stlll at her house, ana
said she would bring them into court
whenever the commissioners SO request
I ed She was represented by f. e.
Thompson, who before the case was con-
Guided asked the court if it had judicial
notice of the fact that property had been
stolen from houses in quarantine during
the plague. This was admitted, and nc
evidence as to that point need be intro
duced, the court held.

Rebecca Panee,
Spendthrift's
Claim.

Rebccca Panee. who has z case pend
ing against ]. A. Magoon in the Cir
cult Court to terminate a spendtirift
trust, was the star claimant before the
court of fire claims at yesterdays SEES
sion. Her total claim was for over
$40, 900 and the failure of her guardian
to present it to the fire court, was
one of the grounds given in support of
her petition.
From her evidence 1t appears tina;
considerable property was stolen during
quarantine, and she was one of the
principal sufferers. Most of her per-
sonal effects were returned to her after
they had been fumigated, but they were
so badly decomposed ty t1e fumiSation
as to be of no value. Among the items
in the statement fiIei by Rebecva was
a claim for five hundred dollars, for
lace quilt made by herself. This formed
the principal topic of the examination,
but the claimant bore the severe cross
examination very well, and her an
swers appeared to be truthful, as far
as the commissioners could judge.
The total amount of the claim was
s1O,921.50, which included two houses on
Maunakea street, also destroyed by the
fire, and valued at 5000. Evidence OH
this point will be heard at later date
Below is given the list OF the principal
items in Rebecca Panee's claim with
the amounts at which each was placed.
