Ing both sexes, may be conservatively estimated at 25,000 and tbe number of Injuries Involving a disability Of more than four weeks, using the ratio of Austrian experience, at approximately 700,000.

"Th e Injuries which contribute the greatest number o f fatal accidents, according to Science for Aug. 30. 1015. are railroad employmenta and ngricttl turn! pursuit», each group being re sponsible for approximately 4,200 fatal ities each year. Coal mining eontrlb- utes more than 2,000 and building nnd construction work nearly 1.000. Gen eral manufacturing, while employing large numbers, produces only about 1.8(10 fatal accidents.

Cal.—The spectacle o f an old man. eighty-five years o f age. fitting himself out ns a prospector and taking his blankets Into the hills after sixty years’ vacation from the same sort of work proved Interesting to the resi dents o f this old mining camp. What made the Incident more interesting was the fact that the prospector Is a wealthy ninn and has no need for any more of this world’s goods. The stranger ts James C. <’k ise. who mined In the headwaters of Jim Crow ennyon In the early fifties and who took out enough to enable him to live In comfort among his relatives ever since. He took his “ pile" and later Invested In the rich apple district In Washing ton and recently came to California to visit the fair. The call o f his early Itfe rang in his ears, and he could not resist the temptation to cover the ground where he made his fortune tn his younger years. Chase was not so suecesful In his first day’s panning as he was In the fifties, but was delighted when he found color In his pan. “ I think I could show some o f yon old miners a trick In this business yet." said Chase to some of the men who have been mining here with Indifferent success for years. The old man does not look moré than slxtjr and says he can stand camping as well as any man of any age. There are few In this old mining town who really remember the old man as a youngster of twent.t five who made a good "cleanup" and left here In 1855. ! | | , : m e n ’ s RICH OCTOGENARIAN AGAIN PROSPECTING FKEI'RHII K L.
