JACKSON MiNE.-Work is being wig.
orously prosecuted at the Jackson
mine. Since work was resumed there
the shaft has been sunk upwards, or
rather down wards, of 50 feet, and has
now attained a depth Of $50 feet from
the surface. 1t is % in a species OF
iron rock which i considered \ better
indication of he proximity Of ore than
the slate In which 1t was running until
the last twenty or thirty feet. A drift
is being run under the old ore body
from the 800 foot level. In this drift Il
quantity of iolerably fine ore has al
r.ady been struck, and any blast, or
stroke of the pick is liable to develop a
body equal to that which gave the mine
such a reputation a few years ago.
Twenty hands are now employed at the
mine and the force will lie increased
whenever Developments are made
which will justify the addition.

CHINESE CoALBURNERs.- Another
branch of industry bids fair to be COB
bled up by the Chinese. Three or four
extensive coal operators in this vicinity
employ exclusively the Acknowledged
heathens for choppers and coal burn
ers. securing their services for about
half the sum which they would be
obliged to pay for white labor.
While we are opposed upon principle
to the employment OF that class of
labor, we are aware Of the futility of
attempting to oppose it, tor so long as
it is cheaper and can be made more
profitable to contractors, just so long
will their services receive the prefer
ence over those of the Caucasian race.
The remedy is not in local opposition;
nothing less than national interference
will cure the evil, and as the effects are
only %perceptible upon the Pacific
coast at present, we fear that the great
err portion of the nut pine timber Of
this vicinity will be ~carbonized before
the National Government will be sufli-
GENTLY awakened to the extent of the
evil to take any steps for its suppress
sion.

THE MEXICAN VETERANs.-Major
Mccoy has received a letter from Con-
gresham WOODBURY. in answer to one
sent in behalf of the Society of Mexican
Veterans, requesting him to use his in
fiuence to secure an appropriation from
Congress to enable the soldiers of the
Mexican war to visit the Centennial
exhibition at Philadelphia. Mr.. Wood
burn says there is no hope OF anything
being done by Congress, but he thinks
there will be no difficulty in making
such arrangements with the Central
and Union Pacific Railroad Companies
for the veterans that the question of
fare will amount to but a trif1e, so far
as those roads are concerned. We are
sorry that Congress will not take the
matter i'm hand, but if the railroad com
panies will reduce the fare to a sutii-
GENTLY low figure, there are probably
but few of the "old boys" who will not
be able to make the rifle.

BENEFIT OF CLEaar-In England's
oldcn times the clergy were exemp-
ted by law from penalties for certain
crimes. By and BY all the retainers OF
the clergy claimed exemption. and it
was confined to those who could read ;
as it was supposed that none but clergy
men could read. This benefit was never
fully abolished until the recent reign of
George ~.
In our own country, although the
exemption was never known, there was
law enacted by Congress, April 30,
1899, that benefit Of clergy shall not
be allowed for any offences punishable
By DEATH"

Of the real murderer came out, and her
innocence WAS established beyond . doubt
We need not euphasiss the many

Saturday afternoon, when it was proved,

confession, that DR.. Parkman had ceased
to live before noon Of that day.
A singular case of mistaken identity
occurred not very long ago at the Old
Bailey court in London. A young man
was arraigued for . serious crime. 1t
was alleged that the crime was com.
mitted on q certain day, which We will
saw was March the 10th. A number Of
persons swore positively that the pris-
oner was the criminal, and a very strong
web of evidence closed around him
The identity, at least seemed fully
proved. The prisoner, who defended
his own case, did not cross-examine the
prosecution witnesses; and when the
case apainst him was closed, he an
nounced that he had no witness to call.
He simply requested the judge to order
the records Of the court for the 10th
of March (the day on which the crime
was committed) to be produced. 1t
then appeared that on that very day he
was being tried at the Old Bailey
for another offense, of which by the
way, he had been acquitted. This in-
disputable proof Of perfect alibi, OF
course, put an end to the case against
him, and he was at once discharged.

Professors of the Medical Department OF the

THE WISCONSIN INVESTIGATION.

vestigatfng Committee, after last evening dis
cussing the testimony taken relating to accounts
in the office Of the Governor and supcrintend-
ent Of Public Property, decided that report
should be written in accordance with the facts
as developed in the testimony, and that the
Committee should assemble to consider the re-
port on July H. The name Of the member ap-
pointed to write the report is kept private. 1t
has been alleged by some Democratic organs
that the cost Of the Investigation #ould be SIS
600 or $4,000. Instead of that It is
been much less but Tor It's entirely uncaIIed-for
examination Of the account Of Washburn's ad-
ministration, as to which there were no charges,
but which was provided for in the resolution on
which the Committee acted, and the going back
Of vouchers, but for which there would hare
been hardly any questions to ask. Dean says Il
he would have told that Coy Taylor, after ask
ing him to resign from the SUPPLEMENTARY oe-
cause Of an alleged deficiency, then proposed to
him to take another office with commission in
which there was money to be made, intimating

never made any bargain.
