FALL OF ROCK KILLS
AQUEDUCT WORKER
BOULDER BECOMES DETACHED
FROM TUNNEL ROOF
Miner, Married Only Three Weeks,
Meets Instant Death, Being
Crushed Beneath Mass
OF Granite

The body of Garnet w. Richard, 26
years old. miner of 1900 West JEFF
ferson street, this city, who was killed
by falling boulder in the north portal
of the aqueduct, near Lancaster, Sat-
urday afternoon, was brought to Los
Angeles yesterday. 1t was was/taken
to the undertaking establishment OF
Bresee Brothers.
Richard, his brother Ross and two
other miners were working in the tun-
mel shortly after IL o'clock Saturday
when a boulder of decomposed granite,
weighing more than a ton, became de-
tached from the roof of the tunnel and
fell on Richard, who was directly be-
meath the mass of rock. He was hor-
ribly crushed and death was instanN
taneous. The force of the fall shat
tered the rock into many piece, and
several of the other workmen were
slightly wounded from the flying frag-
ments.
About fifteen others were working a
short distance away at the time. They
rushed to the assistance of the unfor-
tunate man and with little difficulty
succeeded in digging him out of the
mass of loose stone. He was beyond
medical aid, being dead when taken out.
The death of Richard is more than
usually pathetic as he had been mar
ried only three weeks.
Funeral services will be held at Bre-
see Brothers chapel Tuesday morning
and interment will be at Rosedale
cemetery.

SURPLUS COPPER KEEPS
MARKET AT LOW BASIS

The copper situation continues to
cause apprehension. The report of the
Copper Producers association, showing
an increase in the stock of surplus cop
per during the month of February of
nearly 100000 pounds, naturally sug-
gests that the business of producing
copper cannot be very profitable at the
moment and that in the absence of a
large increase in the demand for the
product it will be useless to keep the
mines going to their present extent.
The condition, however, is not so
serious as might seem at first sight;
the total surplus is little more than
twice the sales for February-a supply
for a few weeks; an appreciable in
crease in demand is possible at any
time, and is sure to come with the gen.
eraI resumption of business which is
inevitable within the next few months.
The cost of carrying copper-with
money at the rates preyailing-is ex-
ceedingly low. If business does not
revive when the question of tariff re-
vision is out of the way it will mean
that some other cause-as yet undis-
cerned--will be responsible for it, and
copper will only have to bide it's time
with other industries.

BOY BARELY ESCAPES
BEING KILLED BY WIRE
REPEATS OLD EXPERIMENT
ONCE TOO OFTEN
Attempts to Adjust Electric Light,
Forgetting Effect of Rain on In
suIation, and Is Rendered
Unconscious

Rudolph Groevarini, aged 15 years,
living with his parents at Bauchot and
Date streets, had a narrow escape from
death by electrocution at o'clock last
night while playing at city light in
spector.
The electric light at the junction of
Bouchet and Date streets had burned
for a little time and had gone out.
Young GroeVarini, it is said, on numer-
Gus occasions had climbed the electric
light pole and juggled with the switch
of the light until he got it to burning
again.
Last night he again attempted the
feat, but he took no account of the rain
and the water soaked insulation of the
feed wires. Consequently when he
climbed to the platform, twenty-five
feet in the air. and in the darkness got
hold of a wire instead of the rope
pulling the lamp in from the center OF
the street, he received a shock of nearly
1900 volts. While it did not render him
unconscious he found himself unable
to let go of the wire, and screamed
Justify for help.
The boys danger was telephoned to
the police department and Sergt. John
Mcclure notified the Los Angeles Gas
and Electric company at the same time
sending the police ambulance to the
scene.
inspector =. III. JACKSON ol INC eieC
trio company made fast run to the
scene in the emergency wagon of the
company and, ascending the pole, cut
off the current and released the boy
from his dangerous predicament.
Meantime a crowd of more than 500
persons had gathered and every one
expected to see the lifeless body of the
boy fall from the pole the moment the
current was shut off. Jackson held the
boy on the platform, however, until he
had recovered sufficiently to climb
down the pole. The boy suffered from
a badly scared hand but was otherwise
uninjured by his misadventure.
