to the statement Of Manager kmbalI
but this distance proved to be but about
80 feet. During the first six shifts
this month the workmen made IL feet
every shift, and the breaking into the
Oaft Sunady was unexpected at that
time The heading Of the lateral cut
four feet under the bottom of the shaft
and struck it squarely. There are 81
courses between the Newhouse tunnel
and the bottom of the shaft and the cal

The heading of the lateral will be

place the movement of ore from the
lower workings will begin, which will
be about month or six weeks hence.

Sacramento, Cal, Oct. 29-The leg
islature, before adjourning, appointed
a special committee to investigate the
state printing. This state owns it's
own plant, which cost about S250.nO0,
exclusive of the value of the build
ing. The expense of the state print
ing has grown to such enormous pro-
portions that public criticism became
general. 1t was shown that the
printing for the Legislature alone two
years ago was over $4,000, though
the session is limited to 60 days,
while the printing for the one year
of 1905 was $lS4,000 and for the BIZ
ennial period nearly 100000 This
has relation only to the printing for
the legislature and for the various
state Offices. The state also turns
out its own textbooks for the schools,
but that is another account entirely.
So far the investigation, which has
been in progress of late, has devel-
oped nothing very sensational, though
the expense for the state printing in
comparison with the cost in other
state is really almost ineNplicable.
w. w. Shannon is in charge of the
state printing office
One thing the inquisitors are TAX.
ing up thoroughly is the disposal OF
several presses by Shannon. The
state printer has testified to selling a
chain delivery press to w. f. Priske
for 1851. 1t cost $4,000 He sold q
Colts armory press to Joseph Ander-
son of this city for IS; it cost about
$500. He sold a chain delivery press
to II. w. Ogg of Oak Park for $500
1t cost $4,000. He sold a Cottrell
press to the American Type Foundry
for $500. 1t cost $4,000. In explain.
ing these facts, Shannon simply de-
clared the machines were old and
had been stored for some time.
1t developed that Shannon, having
the state back of him, paid his limo,
type men more than the average
scale prevailing in the state general.
~; also that there are only four limo.
types In the whole office the unions
being opposed to them and in favor
OF hand composition which is more
expensive and requires about four
times as many men as machines.
N. w. Thompson, one of the com.
mitteemen. wanted to know If Shan.
non had ever been under obligations
to employ friends of the Legislators.
The state printer admitted he had
employed inexperienced girls upon re-
quest of some of the members of the
legislature, but that he had kept them
busy and did not think he did wrong.
Here" said one of the committee
men to an expert printer on the
stand, us a copy of the general ap.
preparation bill for 1907. 1t has
twenty-five pages. Can you tell me
what you would charge to print 1000
of those?''
The witness examined the pamphlet
and replied:
Il would do the job for $50"
The chairman showed surprise.
State Printer Shannon charged 1914
per thousand for turning out the ap-
preparation bill at the last session of
tn legislature, and the committeeman
could not figure out just why there
should be such a wide difference in
the two figures
