The production will be the first ever given here of this THREE MILES UNDBRGROUND Shafts’ Will Probably Be Sunk to That Depth in South Africa. JohnYates, who has been connected with the mining interests in the Transvaal, South Africa, for many years, and has attained wide celebrity as a mining engineer, has submitted a plan to the directors of the syndicate by which he is employed to sink shafts cn the Rand to a depth of 12,000 fee below the surface, which he considers the limit at which underground work could be prosecuted on account of the heat that would be encountered below that depth being unbearable. According to his estimate the temperature in sinking increases one degree in each 205 feet attained in depth and temperature at 12,000 feet below § the surface he estimatés. would be 100) § degrees. Aftér a depth of 5,000 feet. is attained Mr. Yutes proposes to sink inclines from ‘that depth to the 12,000feet level, breaking inclines at each 2,000 or 3,000 feet of depth attained in sinking below the 5,000-foot level to make hoisting by electric power possible from the 12,000. : The New York Engineering aud Mining Journal think that underground work can be successfully prosecuted at a far greater depth than that proposed by Mr. Yates. It says: “By furnishing an abundant supply of air, and dividing it into short splits, it would be quite possible to reduce the temperature in the crosscut and stope toa point very much below the normal heat of the adjoining rock formation, and to render it possible for miners to work at a depth considerably below that which Mr. Yates assumes. Again, the possibilities of liquid air have not been suggested, and yet this may have an important bearing on the subject. . “Should the blanket leads of the Witwatersrand maintain their richness over the extent which geologists and mining engineers now attribute tothem, we think is altogether possible that: in due time they may be worked toa depth of 15,000 feet or more, the determining element being the pussibitity of conducting work at a profit, and it may safely be assumed that the reduction in cost through improvements in mining handling and transporting ore, wil! . exceed the necessary increase in cost due to depth, and that consequently it will cost less to mine at 10,000 to 16,000 feet in depth when we get there than it did at a dépth of 1,000 or 1,500 feet. “It 1s true that with a proper factor of safety the useful limit for hoisting with a steel wire rope is about 6,000 feet.

He brought out the fact that the articles of agreement were for a twenty round fight, but Pendergast did not see them till the night of the fignt and did not sign them then, although Hoskin did, They provided for an equal division of the door receipt after all expenses had been paid. Pendergast testified that the fouling by him in the third round was unintentional, and that when Deasy gave Hoskin the decision on account of it he was preparing to leave the ring till Hoskin expressed a desire to continue the battle. He denied that the knockout blow was nota punch, saying. that he simply rushed at Hoskin. with his-) arm out Straight, and did not paneh . for the reason that he saw that Hoskin was weak and hardly able to stand and that a shove would send him down where he would stay down until a Union Service Sunday Night. . so you'll have to settle it between yourFIRE AT FORBESTOWN, Ten Thousand Dollars Worth of Proparty Goes up in Smoke. The town of Forbestown, Butte county, was visited by a disastrous fire last Tuesday night, at which time it is estimated that about $10,000 worth of property was destroyed. Luckily there was no wind, and this saved the town from perhaps t8tal destruction. From stage driver Forbés who is a resident of that town, the following particulars were received by an Appeal reporter: The fire started at 9:30 at E. K;Lesser’s general merchandise store and soon spread to Smith & Knuotwell’s drug store, and before it was ander control, at 11:30, the following buildings had been destroyed: Lester’s store, which had a large stock of merchandise, Smith & Knotwell’s drug store, the Good Templar’s Hall, Wagner’s hall; the dwelling houses of E. K. Lesser, owned by Pierce & Cox, and Knotwell, Pierce, Bill Dale, Bessac. The residences of P. 8. Liebhauser, Henry E. Vail, A. E, Henderson: and Mrs, F.Morse were badly scorched, The fire was stopped at the Forbestown mercantile company’s brick building with a plentifal supply of water from the Burris reservoir above Forbestown. ; The blaze was foaght by bucket brigade, the miners doing splendid work in the capacity of firemen. ihere was but little insurance on the property destroyed. Smith & Knotwell had only $800, and Wm. Dale’s insurance only amounted to $500. There was no insurance on the two large halls. : The origin of the fire isa mystery, aome crediting it to spontaneous combustion. “Sir,” began young Timkins, as he entered the presence of the dear girl's father, “I want to marry your daughter——” “Oh, don’t come to me with your troubles,” interrupted the. old gentleman. “Shetold me some time ago that she intended to marry you, selves. _Berry Sets. The Boy and the Electric Wire. A correspondent of the Appeal saye . that Walter, the 8-year-old son of Mr,. and Mrs. Johu Waish Jr. of Smartsvillehad an experience last Saturday that. he is not likely to forget while he is . able to remember any of the events of . his past life, and one that he will never } care to repeat. Walter is of an investi. gative turn of mind and on the day in question clibmed one of the Yuba Power . Company’s poles and with a piece.of stick touched the electric wire. He} the pole on toa barbed wire fence about . twenty feet below. Dr. Holbrook up-. on examination found the little fellow’s . right hand and Jeft foot badly burned. He held the piece of wood in his right hand and was resting on the cross-bar of the pole. The electric current thus passed from the hand across the body and out at the left foot, making two small holes in the shoe. » He is also suffering from injuries received from the barbed wire upon which he fell. No serious results, however, are anticipated, still it will be several days before he willbe able to climb another electric pole.

The other witnesses examined were J J. Rowe, Jerome Deasy, James Rodda, Ed. Dunkley, City Marshal Deeble, James J. Pendergast, Johu Keskeys, W. F. Prisk, Judge John Mulroy, James ©. Tyrrell, George Zekind, W.S. Robinson and Constable Peterson, All of them were present at the fight. District Attorney Power submitted them to a rigid examination. He brought out the fact that the articles of agreement were for a twenty round fight, but Pendergast did not see them till the night of the fignt and did not sign them then, although Hoskin did, They provided for an equal division of the door receipt after all expenses had been paid. Pendergast testified that the fouling by him in the third round was unintentional, and that when Deasy gave Hoskin the decision on account of it he was preparing to leave the ring till Hoskin expressed a desire to continue the battle. He denied that the knockout blow was nota punch, saying. that he simply rushed at Hoskin. with his-) arm out Straight, and did not paneh . for the reason that he saw that Hoskin was weak and hardly able to stand and that a shove would send him down where he would stay down until a Union Service Sunday Night. . so you'll have to settle it between yourFIRE AT FORBESTOWN, Ten Thousand Dollars Worth of Proparty Goes up in Smoke. The town of Forbestown, Butte county, was visited by a disastrous fire last Tuesday night, at which time it is estimated that about $10,000 worth of property was destroyed. Luckily there was no wind, and this saved the town from perhaps t8tal destruction. From stage driver Forbés who is a resident of that town, the following particulars were received by an Appeal reporter: The fire started at 9:30 at E. K;Lesser’s general merchandise store and soon spread to Smith & Knuotwell’s drug store, and before it was ander control, at 11:30, the following buildings had been destroyed: Lester’s store, which had a large stock of merchandise, Smith & Knotwell’s drug store, the Good Templar’s Hall, Wagner’s hall; the dwelling houses of E. K. Lesser, owned by Pierce & Cox, and Knotwell, Pierce, Bill Dale, Bessac. The residences of P. 8. Liebhauser, Henry E. Vail, A. E, Henderson: and Mrs, F.Morse were badly scorched, The fire was stopped at the Forbestown mercantile company’s brick building with a plentifal supply of water from the Burris reservoir above Forbestown. ; The blaze was foaght by bucket brigade, the miners doing splendid work in the capacity of firemen. ihere was but little insurance on the property destroyed. Smith & Knotwell had only $800, and Wm. Dale’s insurance only amounted to $500. There was no insurance on the two large halls. : The origin of the fire isa mystery, aome crediting it to spontaneous combustion. “Sir,” began young Timkins, as he entered the presence of the dear girl's father, “I want to marry your daughter——” “Oh, don’t come to me with your troubles,” interrupted the. old gentleman. “Shetold me some time ago that she intended to marry you, selves. _Berry Sets. The Boy and the Electric Wire. A correspondent of the Appeal saye . that Walter, the 8-year-old son of Mr,. and Mrs. Johu Waish Jr. of Smartsvillehad an experience last Saturday that. he is not likely to forget while he is . able to remember any of the events of . his past life, and one that he will never } care to repeat. Walter is of an investi. gative turn of mind and on the day in question clibmed one of the Yuba Power . Company’s poles and with a piece.of stick touched the electric wire. He} the pole on toa barbed wire fence about . twenty feet below. Dr. Holbrook up-. on examination found the little fellow’s . right hand and Jeft foot badly burned. He held the piece of wood in his right hand and was resting on the cross-bar of the pole. The electric current thus passed from the hand across the body and out at the left foot, making two small holes in the shoe. » He is also suffering from injuries received from the barbed wire upon which he fell. No serious results, however, are anticipated, still it will be several days before he willbe able to climb another electric pole.
