Fatal Mine Accidents.

In the five years from 1851 to 1853
inclusive the average number OF lives
lost per thousand employees under
ground i'll and about the mines Of
Great Britain, wac 80 per year. BY
five year periods this rate has with
one exception steadily decreased, IN.
til in the last five years the death
rate was Is to each thousand EN-
ployed, Considering all employees
above and below ground the average
number OF deaths by accident per
thousand has decreased from A to
Ii. In the same way the number Of
lives lost according to The tonnage
produced ID shown to have fallen
from 1913 per million tons in 1851 to
i.25 i'll 1900. There is no WY OF as-
certaining the exact number OF
deaths in the mines OF the United
States but it is believed that the
death rate in the mines OF this
country is greater.

TEST OF NEW PROCESS
FOR SMELLING ORES
California Company Hopes to Revolu-
tionize the Methods That Are
Now in Use.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 5.-The plans of the
California Iron Company for the first
demonstration that the Trapp heating,
roasting and smelling furnace can turn
out pig iron from the ore in much shorter
time and at a much less expense than by
old processes are about completed. The
demonstration will be made on 100 tons of
ore from the Tepustete mines Of Lower
California within two weeks.
The company has been Incorporated in
Phoenix with capital Of 81, ,O00, 900, but
San Diego is given as its place of busi-
ness. 1t is proposed to handle iron, cop
per, gold and silver ores-in fact, any ore
that has to be smelted. For the furnace
1t is claimed that with a plant costing
only one-tenth Of what present smelters
cost the smelling can be done at little
more than so per cent of the present cost
Of turning out the metal from the ore
The one furnace now erected has a ca
pacity of about forty tons day and the
size of the plant can be increased simply
by increasing the number of similar fur
races. The money. is behind the COM
pany for the erection Of large plant as
soon as the practicability Of this first fur
race is demonstrated.

the streets and an occasional gathering
or few of the adherents of the candi-
dates. The day was a remarkably quiet
one, there being no disturbance of any sort
in any of the districts occupying that por-
ton Of the city beyond Twelfth street.
At every voting precinct in the Thirty
fourth, Thirty-fifth and Thirty-siXth dis
tricts most of the votes were deposited
early in the morning. At noon quite a
number of voters gathered at the polls
and voted and from this time until the
polls closed at o'clock the booths were
never crowded. The number of ballots
cast in the Mission districts did not equal
the numbers party leaders predicted.
Unusual quiet marked the passing of the
day in the Forty-fourth and Forty-ffth
districts. The police had no occasion to
make arrests and there were but one or
two slight disturbances. In the Latin
quarter the heaviest portion Of the vote
was placed in the ballot box before noon
and but few went to the polls after
o'clock. The vote on the whole was not

The election officers had SO little to do

Most of the afternoon was spent in guess

usually occurs were as quiet as on SUM-
