This morning the Miller habeas cor
pus case was called up in the Twelfth
District Court. Sanderson the Attor-
ney of the railroad company read re-
turn to the writ. Frank G. Doty, one
of the persons designated in the writ
as holding the defaulter' duress, made
answer that he had not and never had
Miller in his custody. Sanderson read
his own response to the same effect.
District Attorney Ryan wished to
place Doty on the witness stand to tell
of Miller's whereabouts. Sanderson
challenged his right, and an argument
ensued on the point, during which Ry-
an stated that he wanted full and
thorough Investigations searching

ing his ability to prove that Miller was
Indirectly held in duress as prisoner
by the managers ofthe Central Pacific
Railroad Company. After consider
able argument and a citation OF the
authorities, the Court decided that if
the body of Miller was not produced
no further proceedings could be had
unless an attachment was issued. The

mination to have q new writ issued.
The Court dismissed the case. Infor-
nation from most reliable sources
goes to confirm the report formerly
published that Miller took his final de-
parture from his Jurisdiction Monday,
the I'd inst. There is little doubt that
he sailed in the China steamer, as was
then stated, on the 31st ultimO. The
railroad authorities made final set

it is understood that they dealt gener-
ously with him and allowed the rascal
to retain comfortable sum to protect
him from want the remainder of his
days.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11th.-This
forenoon a party of laborers working
ner the corner of Mission and 10Th
streets suddenly struck upon some OBJ
ject that did not seem to correspond
with the regular geological formation
of the locality, and further investiga-
tion disclosed that a keg had been
buried on the spot. They were sud-
denly excited, with increased energy
and the keg was unearted, and the
contents proved to be rich deposit
of Virgin gold and nuggets. 1t was
taken in charge by the Contractor and
was variously estimated to amount in
value from $4,000 to $4,000. When
and by whom the plant was made it
is hardly probable will ever be known,
and the benefits thereof will accrue to
the finders, unless the city should
choose to claim the treasure. If the
disposition first suggested be the prop
er one, it is to be hoped that the au-
thorities will at least see that fair
division is made, and that the con-
tractor does not make clean gobble
of the prize, as he designs doing, ac-
eording to report.
A charge of assault to murder has
been placed against Charles McLaugh-
lin, the man arrested yesterday in
connection with the shooting Of JnO.
Richel. The officers are inclined to
the opinion that the wounded man
shot himself, as there was no quarrel
between the parties so far as Is known.
Richel was removed to the county
hospital this forenoon, and will proba-
bly, recover.
