paralyzed the canning industry In
San Frscisco. Some three thousand
employees we're thrown into idleness.
The, stream OF fruit from the interior
was diverted to Oakland, San Jose,
and elsewhere; but, none the less,
serious damage was done to the
growers An attempt was made by
Gamers in San Francisco to get the
striking teamsters' union to handle
the fruit-growers' products, as they
had nothing to do with the fight
between merchants and trades-uni-
ons. But the teamsters refused.
1t is remarkable that the labor
leaders should have shown such in
credible folly. The fruit-growers
had nothing to do with this purely
local fight. For some years they
have been growing very restless
under the scarcity OF labor in this
Statefor handling their crops during
the brief fruit season. 1t was by
their votes that the workingmen in
the cities succeeded in carrying DALI
fornia solidly for Chinese exclusion.
During the last ten years the farm
ing and fruit-growing class have
been thinking hard over this Chinese
business. and their conclusion has
been that while exclusion is a good
thing for the workingmsn it is not
good thing for the employer. In the
country every man who is not an
employee IL an employer. A man
with fruit farm of twenty acres
needs workingmen during tho fruit
season. As result, practically the
entire farming class is California
already wavering on the Chinese
question-has received this slap in
the face from the trades-unions.
What possessed the labor leaders to
do it, 1t was certainly piece OF
monumental folly.-The Argonaut.

The Chinese Question.

There is a phase OF the present
epidemic of strikes in California
which we have not seen touched
upon. It is this: The strikes pre-
oipitated by the San Francisco
teamsters, backed up by the comb
ined labor unions of San Francisco,
have bitterly angered the farming
classes of the State. From about
the twentieth of July to the end OF
August is the brief period during
which the fruit-growers get their
product to the canueries. This was
the exact time selected by the San
Francisco trades unions for their
strike. AS a result! it completely

Serious Brush Fires.

a fire started one day last week IN
Chris Meiss' ranch on the Plymouth
and Carbonate road. BY shutdown it
had burned over a part of Meiss' land
about 800 acres of A. Whittle's sheep
range; between 400 and 500 acres of E.
S. Barney's; all Of LOOMS 160 acres
all of HardenSurg's 480 acres, with 120
cords of wood; Vicini's 100 acres; all of
the Martin Brothers ranch and nearly
all of tho Frank Green ranch On the
following day it broke out afresh,
sweeping over the ranches of Frank
Hill, j. Touhey. Kirk, Laughton.
Joses and others. In all about 5000
acres of pasture was destroyed. Two
houses we're at first reported burned,
but this has since been denied Some
cattle are also reported lost.

The firebug managed to elude those

Crushed By A Log.

The particulars of the fatal accident
which occurred at Chichizola's sawmill
on the 9th of June, were brought out
at the inquest held by Coroner Gritton
on the 18th. 1t appears that Antoine
b ssighini, the victim, who had been
working around the mill, was sent that
morning to take the place of Frank
Gillette, the swamper, who was sick.
Bessighini was Inexperienced in that
capacity. In handling a log with Peter
Karalli and w. H. Deaver, endeavor-
ing to load it on the truck, the chain
gave way, probably owing to faulty
hooking. The log fell or rolled on
Bessighini, crushing the life out of him
instantly. He was dead before his
companions could get to his aid to re-
move the log. The coroner's jury re-
turned verdict of accidental death.
Deceased was a native Of Italy, about
80 years of age, and single man.

Mining Notes.

Moon-This property Is situated in
the Boone ranch, on Stony creek,
about six miles from Jackson, on the
range OF the Campo Seco copper belt.
a company was organized in Valley
Springs for the purpose of working it
a. a copper property, or at least pros
peCting il to determine its value in that
direction. An incorporation was form
ri with a capital of S75, 900 in the same
number Of shares at 81 each. The
principal stock holders are residents Of
Valley Springs, with several from lone
and Jackson valleys. The mine is be-
ing run on the installment plan, the
calls being three cents per share per
month. The promoters appear to be
very much pleased at the develop
ments. The shaft is down 80 feet, with
a seven foot ledge. Contrary to all ex-
pecta lions, the ore carries more value
in gold than copper. Assays have been
made, and we are informed the returns
gave hatteriug results in both gold and
copper. There is quite an excite
ment in the vicinity of the strike. and
the further exploration Of the district
is awaited with interest. The copper
jndica tons can be traced for consider
able distance.
Upper Rancheria Gravel Claim-The
company operating the gravel mine in
this district, formerly known as the
Evans and Fitzgerald claim, are fixing
up in good shape, with the intention of
working it on scale that will thor
oughly test its value. They are en-
ploying from 10 to 10 men. Repairing
the tunnel has been finished Ma
chinery has been sent for from the east
The gold is contained in a cement
which has to be run through a mill,
the same as quartz. 1t is the intention
to erect mill with d crushing capacity
of $50 tons per day.

BLUE LAKES DAM BREAKS.
Mokelumne River Flooded No DAMAGE
Done.

The lower dam of the Blue Lakes
reservoir system gave way about ten
O'Clock Monday morning. As this
dam represented considerable por-
ton of the storage waters of the
lakes. the breakage was sufficient 10
pour an immense body of water into
the Mokelumne, causing the river for
a distance of 40 or so miles below to
reach the highest point ever known.
The cause of the disaster was the COL
lapse of the old wooden gate, which had
done service ever since the dam was
built, and which the company intended
to replace this summer with an iron
structure. Indeed, it is claimed on be-
half of the Standard Electric Company
that the water was intentionally turned
out preparatory to making the change.
but that the force of the water carried
away considerable of the embankment
on either side OF the gate, thereby caus-
ing much quicker outflow than was
contemplated. The gate was about 40
feet from the top Of the dam, and the
lake was no doubt pretty well filled
with water. The company notified the
residents of Middle Bar and other ex-
posed points that big volume of water
was coming, and for them to protect
themselves in advance. This was about
o'clock p. m. The widest reports
were current, some expecting to see a
wall of the liquid element twenty feet
or more high sweep down the Nickel
umne river. But there was no wall of
water About O'Clock the river rose
very rapidly, and came within few
inches of the abutments of the Middle
Bar bridge, the first waters being black
with logs and drift wood of every des-
cription. High water was maintained
for an hour, and at 6 o'clock the river
had receded but little. We have not
heard of any damage of consequence
being done by the flood in this county.
The loss to the company and the
effect upon the water supply is vari-
ously estimated. The officers figure the
damage at from $4,000 to $4,000. The
broken dam was the main dependence
for the storage of water. Disinterested
parties think the damage cannot be re-
paired for much less-than $50, 900.

Early Apples.

Supervisor LeMoin left at our Office
this week, sample of early cooking
apples, grown in the orchard of Mrs.
S. J. Worley on Dry Creek, near the
Cosmopolitan mine. They were picked
from a tree only six years old. The
tree is literally covered with fruit, and
had to be relieved of some of its load to
avoid breaking down. Many Of the
clusters have from 10 to II apples on
them. They are Of the cooking vari-
city, and Of excellent quality. 1t serves
to show what can be done with the soil
along the mineral belt in the way OF
horticulture. The time will come
when the lands of this region will be
sought after for fruit culture, as we'll
as for the wealth that lies buried in
the rocks.
