Marrow Escape.

Tuesday morning while Tom Quinn, the electrician for the light company, was asleep above the power house, he heard fearful yell from below. He quickly ran down stairs and found the place in darkness. He went toward the furnace to open the door and get light, when he trippcd and fell over the prostrate form of man. seemingly dead. He found it to be the night assistant, Chas. Olson. Quinn used every endcavor to restore the man to consciousness and in about five minutes his ef- forts were successful. Olsen Was sent to his home and taken care of for the rest of the night.
 It appears that Olsen went to the switchboard to regulate the current and while one hand Was thus engaged the other accident ally touched another part of the system, thus making short cir cult with himself as the medium. He received the full force of 6OO volts which knocked him senscless. It is generally supposed that such shock would kill. Olsen is iortun- ate in simply having his fingers burned. He also received q cut on his face by falling against the machinery.

6|d f1|nInd DIAL THE GLADHOUGH MINE IS
 SOLD Amount {|,O00,O00
Bought By Mitchell Copper Com- pany. Deal Mad By
 Robert B1ei.

The property known as the Glad hough mine was sold last week to the Mitchell Copper company. the consideration stated being $l .OOO.- 9O0. Mr. W. S. Gage came here as ,he representative of the Mitchell Copper Co. to acquire property, and after seeing the Gladhough property he immediately entered into negotiations for is purchase through Robert Blci oi New York, with the result as above stated.
 This property, located at the head of Virgin bay on Prince Vii liam sound, consists of suiphide ore, wbieh at the surface assays about l2 to Il Der cent copper and improves as it goes down. Ii has never been worked to any great extent; in fact it was only a pros, pcct until purchased by Mir. Mecn- ach, about three years ago; since .hen he has ercctcd number of houses, put in machinery, and has sunk q shaft to dcpth of POD feet. all the time going through the ore body. The ore taken out has been shipped to the Tacoma sneltcrS, from which good returns have been received. The first shipment, of 300 ions, taken near the surface, was shipped about two years ago netted about S25 per ton.
 It Is q very convenient property for shipping, lying, as it does, di- rectly at tidewater, the ledge being exposed between high and low water mark.
 IL was discovered some twenty years ago by some Californi;lns but was never staked until Tom Olsen. showed it to Gladhough and Peterson, who took possession of it, doing the assessment work regularly each year until it was finally sold to MT. Meenach, who in turn has sold it to the Mitchell company.
 It Was Mir. Blei's intention to % the states to complete the transfer, but he was forced to postpone his trip, as Mir. Gage is anxious to se- cure options on some of tle interior properties, 50 Mr. Blei has gone with him to negotiate with some of the locators on the kotsina and Chittyna.
 The party that went in consisted of w. :. Gage, Rob't Blei and J. l.. Steele, with Arthur NJ. Edwards as attorney.
 Later on, when the snow is gone and it is possible to examine the properties, Mir. Gage will take an other trip into the interior, and in all probability will be accompanied by Mir. Mitchell and the noted ex- pert. Mir. John Hayes Hammond.

The Presidency Of the Board of
Health comes back to the old problem
OF choice between a professional man
and q business man. The question has
been argued and re.arEuod since the
Board has been in existence. During
the most critical period in the history
of this port, the professionalism idea
was adopted by practically common
consent. various Boards though made
up largely Of laymen, deciding that the
vital sanitary problems this port has
constantly to deal with were best
placed under professional direction
The present result Is that the ports OF
Hawaii are in such condition that
the Federal authorities have recently
been justified in doing away with the
expensive. and, to passengers, dis
agreeable, precautionary measures
Whether this could have been done as
well by a business head will furnish
the meat Of the discussion, but th'
professional men have a strong recort
on their side and the problems in
volved mean great deal to the bust
ness and general welfare Of the com
munity.

Rev. Mr. Pearson in his Thanksgiv'
ing sermon laid considerable stress on
the changes gradually coming over
the people in their strict observation
of the Sabbath. It is true that pleas
ures are enjoyed on the Sabbath which
would shock our ancestors, but does
1t necessarily follow that the moral
tone is lowered. When churches and
congregations increase in numbers it
can hardly be said with absolute truth
that the people are treading a down
ward path. People of the present day
are less traight.laced, but is the desire
to do right in dealing with fellowmen
on the Sabbath and weekday less in
evidence? The Golden Rule Is the
chief Biblical text and 1t would seem
that this is more closely followed now
than in the days of Purtanism.
