THE EVENING NEWS.

known Frenchman, struck with a pick
X and fatally wounded an IrishmaI
named John T~empleton, who has for som,
ame past been an engineer at the Spanish
Mine No. .. The circumstance of thu
matter, as near as we can ascertain from &
mixed patois Of Spanish, French and bro
ken English, are these: Some time since
4 hog died near the works of which TEN.
pleton was engineer. and on the road
which Duval took on his journey to and
from his home. In passing one day, Du-
val told Templeton that the decaying car
cass ought to be removed, and some Jest
ing remarks followed. at which Duval
became enraged. Subsequently some hard
talk has passed between the parties, but
last evening Templeton, who had been
drinking freely, while on his way home.
stopped at Rameriz's store, where Duval
is employed as book keeper, and seizing
him by the collar, called him some harsh
name; whereupon Duval shook himself
loose. and seiz,ng a pick lying near, struck
Templeton a fatal blow. Templeton fell
and was carried across the street to the
shelter Of some hospitable roof, where we
saw him last evening, attended by Messrs.
II. Presbry and p. Coley. The point of
the pick entered his stomach at the base
and at the upper portion of the abdomen,
inAicting a wound that must cause death
eventually, in the opinion of his physician,
DR.. Watts, who bestowed every attention
upon the sufferer. When we saw Temple
ton he was splitting blood in profuse guam
titles and evidently suffering great pain.
Templeton is about thirty years of age, a
native of Ireland, and has no relatives on
this coast except some sisters, whom he
has not seen for about twelve years, and
who have recently married in San Fran
cisco. Templeton has been employed for
long time past on the boats at and around
Sacramento, and is well known in that
section. Duval, who has been arrested,
is now in the Station-house is well
known in Virginia and is an accomplished
linguIst, speaking several languages with
Auency. From what he can learn, Duval
made the assault in a moment OF passion,
and upon finding what he had done, at
once surrendered himself 10 the authori-
ties. An investigation OF the affair will
be had to-day.
1uL ShObLNn-A S+A-h
day We visited the works Of this newly
located shaft, situated nearly due east Of
the old works Of the Chollar and Potosi
companies shafts, and on South Z street,
nearly in a parallel line with the shafts Of
tho Savage and Gould Curry companies.
At this time the shaft has attained the
depth of one hundred and twenty-three
feet, the ground having been broke but
little more than amonth since. The shaft
is strongly ,imbered, with twelve-inch
beams in ~"sets,' and is divided into four
compartments, three of which are TO be
used for sinking and the other for q pump
ing shaft. At present q small donkey en-
CINE il used for hosting, but in q few
weeks three engines will be running; one
OF which will be used for pumping, one
for hosting n one for sinking the main
shaft. When the depth of six hundred
feet shall be reached the company propose
20 drift 10 the west. and doubtless will cut
their ledge in n short drift, as in the old
mines it has been found that the lode is
pitching east at u sharp angle. At the
main shafts Of the old works about one
hundred tons Of ore are hoisted daily, and
the same is being drifted from almost every
portion Of the works. Harvey Beckworth,
the efficient Superintendent, is working
diligently TO make the passed deposits of
ore in the old mines yield coin 10 pay
present expenses in sinking the new
shaft. and with every prospect of success.
Harvey is a thorough miner, and under
stands his business. We are indebted TO
our old friend. Mr.. Pcachey, the Secre-
,ary OF the company. for courtesies re-
ceived, and for statistical information.
SrRrcx IT Rich. The Jewel Com
pany, that have for the past year and a
half been steadily at work running a tun-
mel into their claim IN Spring Valley,
Devils Gate District, have lately been
rewarded by discovering a very rich vein
of ore. We were yesterday shown a
specimen of rock from their newly diScov-
cred ledge and a certificate Of assay of the
same. In the rock the black silver sui
phurets are clearly perceptible to the ma
ked eye, and by looking at II through a
glass it appears TO be exceedingly rich.
Mr.. Appleberg, who showed US the rock,
also showed US u certificate of an assay,
made BY Mr.. II. Harris, of the same rock,
which determined Its actual value to be
1926 co. Its yield in silver was At the
rate Of SIP 50. and in gold So IS per
ION. The company have their tunnel IN
,hc distance of q thousand feet. The
ledge from which the rock was taken for
ASSAY and from which the specimen shown
Us was taken, was not found az the eS-
Iremc end Of the tunnel, bu, was passed
through by that mining work about three
hundred feet from its mouth, but never
prospected until recently. Mr.. Appleberg
Informs us that the ledge at the point from
which the rock shown us was taken is
nearly one hundred feet in width.
CASE OF DESrrTurIoN.-Mrs. Collins,
the woman for whose relief the Board Of
Trustees. two weeks ago, appropriated the
sum Of $50, we learn. Is still almost help
less and quite destitu'e. Mr.. Gushing
last evening, recommended that the Board
make another appropriation for her relief.
No action, however, was taken on the
subject By the Board. We are not in
favor of having our Town Trustees max
ing appropriations Of money for the relief
of any one who may ask It, without fully
investigating the case and finding that
there is actual need of such assistance, in
which case aid should be given. From
the statements of Mr.. Cushing TO the
Board last evening, it appears that the
case of Mrs. Collins is one 10 which the
Board should give careful attention. II
is a case of a woman who is herself help
less and has a family of helpless children.
If she is destitute, she should be provided
for. The Board should without delay
decide on her case. and either refuse to
give her assistance or make an appropria-
ton for her relief.
