Tho Apex Question.

The much-agitated question of Apex
has been discussed by California
miners, and at last has been decided
by the Supreme Court of that state.
The Mining Reporter has the follow
ing in reference to the decision /:
1.-THE Supreme Court of California
has sustained a decision rendered by
an Amador County Court to the
effect that mine operator may fol-
low his lines into patented agricultur-
al land and extract ore therefrom.
The decision denies operators the
right to enter said patented agricul-
tural lands from surface of the same,
for which the granger is doubtless
thankful. even though the miner
might run an upraise to his cellar"

No. Main st. near Bolster place where the
city IS putting In surface sewer, yester-
day afternoon.
The accident happened about twenty
minutes past four. The men were work
Ing In the ditch digging up the old sewer
pipes. The jar Of passing car caused
mass Of dirt and rocks TO fall back in the
trench, imprisoning Sawyer and Ried.
The men we're standing so that they were
not wholly buried. AS it was, Sawyer
was covered 20 his arm-pits and Reds
legs were buried.
Eager hands hastened to dig them out
and Reid was released Ia few moments
but it was half an hour before Sawyer
could be lifted from the ditch Dr. Good
rich was the first physician on the scene
and did all possible to relieve the suf-
ferers.
Sawyer was carried on a stretcher into

bank of dirt on the side next the track
had been loosened by the removal Of sewer
pipe No danger was looked for from

further up the street, where the dirt didn't
cave danger was apprehended and the

his phenomenal leap into prominence and

the marvellous character Of his perform
ance:
DIavolo. who in private life bears the

came interested in the problem Of circling
a concentric coil awheel while engineering
the machinery of one OF the loop the loop
cars at Coney Island, New York City.
Several attempts were made by expert ey-
clists to circle the loop on wheel, but all
failed, fell, and we're so seriously injured
that the dangerous task was given up as
impossible. Yandevoort, however was
firm in the belief that the feat could be ac-
eomplished and he accordingly set about
learning to ride bicycle. Two months
later he made his first attempt at looping
the loop, and, although unsuccessful, be-
came convinced that the machinery should
be reconstructed in order to perform the
act. This was done and three months
later he made his first public appearance
as above stated. All attempts to initiate
