The Gold Hill News, Of Saturday,
says Of the Belchef mine: The daily
yield is $40 tons. The main incline Is
down loo feet below the l30O-foot level.
The east drift on Tie same level Is IN
from the incline 40 feet. The w.n2e
started frou the l3O0-foot level is down
l65 feet, in splendid ere. The south
drift, on the l300foot level, Is IN 49,
feet, still in ore. The drift at the 500
foot level is in 40 feet. Il is the in,en-
ton TO soon start drift from this winze
to connect with the body oil ore on the
900-foot level. All the ore slopes and
breasts are looking well and yielding
finely, and the general appearance oil the
mine is lattering throughout, giving
good promise of rich returns foi many
months yet to come.
IT appears, says the Eureka Sentinel,
that Dan. Matheney, sentenced to b.
hanged in Hamilton on the 18Th OF next
month, has one more chance for his life.
Judge Hawiey. We understand, has writ
ten letter to parties in Hamilton, that
if more facts can be furnished in Math-
eney's favor, the Board OF Pardons will
reconsider its action. The indifference
of the culprit, coupled with his seeming
want of realization Of the awful situation
in which he is placrd, has raised serious
doubts in the minds of some concerning
his sanity, and another move, We hear,
is to be made on the ground that he is
not of sound mind 1t will thus be seen
that there is still show for the mild
hammered young man to save his neck.
Mrs. Ross, who lived near the Catho-
lie church, was found dead on Sunday

left her in bed Saturday night, and on

holds q situation in the White Pine News
