MINING NOTES.

Zeila-The work of changing from
the old to the new hoist was com
menced on the lst instant. Ali the
underground men we're laid off ten
porarily. The mill will soon cease
its music for the time being. The
work of changing will take two weeks,
and necessitate a stoppage for that
length of time.
Mitchell-The shaft has been drain:
ed of water, and the property Is now
waiting to hear from interested parties
in the east who contemplating
investing.
Gold rop-This gravel claim at
Pine Grove was all ready to start
hydraulic operations, the fume hav-
ing been completed, when the water
in the canal that was to furnish the
necessary liquid failed. Work will
therefore have to he suspended until
fall rains give new supply.

Ds. STAPLES TO STAY IN COUNTY
UNTIL APPEAL Is DECIDED

Thursday week the attorneys for
DIR. Staples secured a stay of proceed
ings in behalf of the defendant, and a
certificate of probable cause for ap-
peal. The effect of this will be to
keep the defendant in the county Jail
until the appeal now pending is final
ly passed upon by the supreme court.
How long it will take this case to
travel through the appeal process is
hard to predict. The settlement of
the bill of exceptions will come up
on the 18th inst. After that the tran
script on appeal will have to be
printed, also briefs on each side
Some attorneys are inclined to the
opinion that the close of the year will
find the case still undecided Mean
while, the defendant seems to be
long way from being respondent over
the outlook. His voice may be heard
almost any day from the outside of
the Jail, raised in song. And he is a
fairly good singer too. He is appar
emily the most sal isfied if not con-
tented prisoner at present confined
within the local Jail. He had his
choice of spending the long interval
that must elapse before the appeal
can be passed upon in the county Jail
or San Quentin. He unhesitatingly
decided in favor of his present quar-
ters.

Sunday evening, August Goth, the
jackson band will give public con-
cert at the usual place. Rehearsals
have already started for the re-
organization of the band, which will
be good news to all our music
loving people.
Yesterday morning while sitting in
the Plymouth stage waiting for it to
start, Mrs. James Morrow of Amado1,
accidently released her hold for an
instant on her baby, in making room
for another passenger on the seat be-
side her, and the child fell from the
seat to the ground. The baby was
three or four months old and we'll
bundled in wraps, which fortunate
circumstance probably saved its life.
The mother was nearly frantic over
the occurrence, which, to an onlooker
might seem like carelessness, and she
cannot explain herself just how the
accident occurred, but the stage went
on its way carrying both mother and
child, which it is hoped was not
more seriously injured other than a
good shaking up.
Ralph Bacheller, his wife and his
father, o. G. Bacheller, start this
morning for tour of Silver Lake,
Blue Lakes and Lake Tahoe. They
will travel with team and camp by
the way. They will drive to jackson
and thence by easy stages over the
most pleasant routes and will camp
at each of the lakes for several days.
They have planned months outing
and have packed with their outfit the

Montreal and knight of the Royal and
Military Order of St. Louis. From him
was descended the last French govern

the castle remained in the possession
Of the government and was the resi-

now owned by the Antiquarian socie-

ACCIDENT AT PLANT.
George Watt Seriously Burned.

George II. Watt, foreman of ipsuIa-
tlon at the plant of the Standard
Electric Company, was seriously
hurt yesterday afternoon. He has
been putting in new switch hoard
and the accident occurred while he
was at work in Fit, eight feet deep,
under the switch. No one knows lust
how 1t happened but, he was using a
monkey wrench, and it is supposed
that, in manipulating the pipe, it
came in contact with the arc current.
Ihere was a report like cannon.
and the other men in the building
rushed to the switch board. When
they reached him, Mr.. Watts clothes
were on fire, and he was making
desperate effort to put out the flame.
His companions say that this is the
only time that he made any groan. and
he has suffered greatly. They brought
him out OF the pit, and telephoned
immmediatly to jackson for phys-
clan. DR.. Endieott went out to
Electra with Peter Osuna, and found
the injured man in a serious con-
diton. He was, badly burned from
his waist up, and his flesh is per-
fectly black. The lower part of his
body is unhurt. He complains most
OF the pains in his stomach. His
injuries were attended to, and then
he was brought to jackson as COM
fortably as possible, on mattrass,
in a light mountain wagon. He was
taken to the National hotel, where he
was given every attention.
This morning he was carried to
Martell's, to take the train for San
francisco. where he will be placed in
a hospital, and give the best OF care.
The doctor thinks that he may
recover.
Mr.. Watt is about twenty nine
syear old. He is fine workman and
has been in the employ of the Stand
aid Company since last March. He
was popular with all his co-workers
who have shown great sympathy for
him since his accident.
Gee Watt came to the company's
employ from Tacoma, Washington. He
was accompanied the Lane hospital,
San Francisco, by III. f. McKillop,
also employer of the company, and

FREE ADVICE
on curing CATARRH

Don't suffer with Catarrh any longer!
Don't let it destroy your happiness
your health-your very life Itself
Don't waste any more time-energy-
money, in trying to conquer it with
worthless nostrums.
Don't think it can't be vanquished just
because you have not sought help in the
right place.
Write to me at once and learn how it
can be cured, rot merely for day,
week, or a year-but permanently. Let
me explain my new scientific method of
treatment, discovered by myself
only by myself.
Catarrh is more than an annoying trou-
Ible-more than an unclean disease-more
than brief ailment. It's the advance
guard of Consumption. II you don't
check it it's bound to become Consump-
ton. 1t has opened the door of death
for thousands. Take it in hand now
before it's too late. I'll gladly diagnose
your case and give you free consul alton
and advice. 1t shall not cost you cent.

MorAi Principles OF Inc Single Tax
(Reprinted from Frank Vierth's
"Why" Cedar Rapids, Ia) at sug-
gestion and by permission OF the
author.)
The test to which the single tax man
subjects all propositions for economic
reform, including the single tax itself,
is the moral test. Would it be right?
Would it be just? It's effects upon in
dividuals or classes, wOrkingmen In
cluded, is of secondary Importance. For
tne essence of his philosophy is that
any reform which is morally wrong
must be economically injurious; and,
conversely, that any reform which is
morally right can not fail to be econ
omically beneficent. To workingmen,
therefore, as we'll as to others. his
primary recommendation Of the single
tax is not that it would serve their sell
fish interests. but that it is morally
right.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-01-05
worth, robs him of his own.

With abundant ground rents-the
measure of social advantages or oppor-
tunities from which to draw public
revenues, society has no excuse for tax
ing the individual earnings of any Of
it's members. To do SO is morally
wrong.
This wrong, together with the wrong
of denying equal rights to land and
that of abridging equal rights to social
advantages, would be abolished by the
single tax. For the single tax is a
system Of taxation whereby all individ-
ual earnings are exempt, and nothing
is taken for public revenues but those
earnings which go to landowners as
premiums or ground rent for their
superior iUSsstaonsfor the superior So
cial advantages, that is C seB which
they by virtue of their sites command.
Hence, we say, the single tax is NOR
ally right; and, therefore, regardless OF
whether it would benefit or injure any
class, that it s-.ould be adopted.
But what is morally right can in fact
iniure none and must benefit all. This
is a profound religious truth, and OBJ
servation and thought demonstrate its
application to the single tax.
That tax could not injure land own
ers by depriving them of the value of
what they have been accustomed to
call their land. No one is injured by
losing property which he has no moral
right to keep. On the contrary, NOR
ally at least. he is benefited
And while the single tax would not
injure land owners. it would distinctly
benefit the working class, which would
include all, for all would then have to
work. They who did not work, neither
could they go to Newport. Working
men would benefit. because unused
land would be free. Since it's mere
ownership would profit no one, it
would be an open common
In view Of the vast areas of unused
but exceedingly useful land of all kinds
in the United States, now fenced in and
unproductive. we may readily see what
vast field for employment, with or
without large capital, by cooperation
or otherwise, would thus be opened.
when we consider that trade would
be absolutely free, we may see how
easily labor of one kind could exchange
its products with labor Of other kinds,
SO that even the largest machinery
would readily pass from the ownership
OF the laborers who make 1t to that OF
