LIFE CRUSHED OUT

c. Wesley Herbert. of this city, wa.
killed at $500 yesterday morning while
switching cars on the D.. II. /. q \. w
road in the yards of Deere & Co., il
| Moline.
The tracks are so laid out that it is
necessary to make some sharp curves
in Il train very close together. Mr.
| Herbert was between two cars in the
middle Of a train, and not being ia
miliar with the tracks in the yard
was on the inside. When the
curve was reached he was pinned fast
| between the cars.
DR.. J.. D. Dunn was called and said
that death had apparently been in
Simultaneous. He said that death was
caused Ey the shock of the blow OF
pressure over the region Of the stom-
ach.
William \. Shaw. in charge of the
engine pulling the train. told the story
of the accident at the inquest as fol
lows:
MIR. Herbert was serving as switch
mans helper, excepting today. when
to work at C'cIock this morning. and
Mr.. Herbert began work at the same
time. We went in ON Deere's coal
track to take out an empty coal dump
and pull in full one. Herbert went
TO make the coupling and was caught
between the cars. He missed the first
coupling and gave the signal to back
up. We did so at the rate of one
fourth mile an hour. Herbert then
gave the signal to 90 ahead. We went
ahead until the fireman got signal
from Mr.. Swanson to back up again.
We backed, and as the slack came up
the body of Herbert dropped to the
ground. The rails were not very Slip
perry. but the ground was in some
places. Herbert was careful man.
He was caught between the corners
of two cars which were on Il curve.
The coupling must be made on this
curve with a wire CT rope. owing to
the clCSeneSS with which the cars
come together. Deceased had made
couplings there before. and j suppose
he knew il was a dangerous place.
He had been working for the company

California Quicksilver.

The present annual output of California mines is about one fourth of the worlds entire yield. Quicksilver was produced in this state, in a primitive way, as far back as 1S45, and the official re- port of the director of the United States Biological Survey, covering aperiod of fifty years, from 1850 to 1900, shows the total produc- tion of the California mines to be 1,S3O,447 flasks of 761a pounds each. The average price during this period was $47.25 per flask, showing the value of the total output of this state to be over $86, 100000. A half dozen or more prominent mines, of which the New Almaden stands at the head with a } ield of nearly $50, 100000 worth of mercury, have contributed mainly to this out put. The present market price is $45 per flask.
Holbrook argus., 1903-01-24

According to these figures the average annual production of California since 1850 is 9,6O9 Aasks. The production in 1900 was 26,317 flasks, or 1O,292 flasks below the average. This decrease of production applies not only to the mines of Califor- mia, but of the world, while the demand is constantly increasing. Sunset Magazine.
