MINING REPoRT.-In to-morrow's
issue our weekly summary of mines
will appear, and will contain an ac-
count of many new locations; also
old ones relocated and being worked
upon in this district. Our aim has
been to report everything fair and
impartially, and feel flattered to know
mat by such course we have gained
the confidence and approval of the
mining men, not only of this section
but elsewhere. We do not pretend
to state the condition of every mine
on the great lode, but have paid par
tcular attention to those in this dis
trict, as they have never heretofore
been fairly represented, or their true
merits brought before the people.

and with the dogs forms a pleasing
picture. ......... a.

A Ramble Among the Spring Val
ley Mines.

-------- haL j.
The following is continuation of
the Spring Valley mines and loca-
tons, as commenced by US yester-
day: LsCF
&y SUMMERS.
This location formerly belonged to
P. Quinn, but has lately been relo-
Gated by Mr.. Summers under the
name of the Summers Gold and Sill
yer Mining Company, embracing $50
feet. 1t is about 300 feet south of
Quinn's house, on the Carson & Vir-
ginia Toll Road, and joins the Quinn
mine on the south. 1t is the inten-
ton of the locators to Incorporate
this claim below and erect suitable
machinery as soon as possible. There
is a double-compartment shaft, 10
feet deep, from which some ore has
been taken, working about $50 per
ton. The groupings are well defined,
and the ledge, as exposed in the
shaft, indicates merit and perma-
nency. .l4 - ~ n/tj d.t j.
DAYTON NO. 2. ~ .f1
This claim joins the Memnon on
the north, and is but a short distance
below the Carson g. Virginia Toll
Road. 1t consists of 800 feet, be-
longing to p. Quinn, Dick Thomas
and Joe Leaman. A tunnel has been
run in some 500 feet, also shaft
sunk over 40 feet in depth. In both
the ledge shows well, and as it as
says from $50 to $75 per ton (mostly
silver the indications are that proper
machinery ana depth are all that are
required TO make it, still better.
This, we Understand, will be done as
soon as possible. -y
W. MOONEY AND wHIrEMNS.
Is situated between tie Daney and
Dayton No. 2, embracing 450 feet
principally owned by 2.ex=alayor
kaneen and Messrs. Mooney and
Whiteman, the gentlemen after whom
| it is called. The shaft is about 60
feet deep, from which poin, Il drift
was run west for IA distance Of j I
feet. the whole distance in ledge
matter assaying from $25 to $50 per
ton. From the size and appearance
Of this ledge we are most favorably
! impressed as to its future, but like
other locations here, it requires prop
er machinery to get depth to explore
it properly. soy
Is south Of the Daney and north of
the Columbia, consisting of 1900
feet of the old Mt. Hope Lode. There
arc two shafts On it, each about 20
feet deep. The first follows the east
wall, and the other was supposed to
be sunk on tine hanging wall, about
Is feet from No. /; but this failed to
Show the width Of the vein. From
/ these Shafts considerable rock was
taken by lh. Quinn, and worked at
Koncnan's mill, paying lit'lc over
$50 per ton. AT that time it would
not pay to further develop. but it
was relocated, and recorded April
9th, by II. L. Coye and II. Summers
who will within short time reopen
the mine for extensive explorations.
There are other locations in and
around Spring Valley, which We win
notice in another issue. From what
we have seen and the assays taken
from different locations, we are more
fully convinced that all that's needed
is the one great want of this district
depth. Depth alone will develop
them and reveal to the world their
real merit. --. ..-...... ....... ...,..

A Strange and Fatal Casualtv.

A young man by the name OF Thomas II.
Ewens, resident Of Pittsburg, died in De-
troit. 1t was stated that his death was
caused by fall from roof, but 1t is asser-
ted now that the accident which resulted in
his death was one for which the city of De-
troit might easily be held responsible, If the
statement be correct. 1t is said that he was
passing along with some friends when the
sidewalk gave way precipitating him down
a distance OF eight feet. He arose with a
slight scratch on the wrist, but laughirgly
dismissed the matter and continued the
walk with his friends until bedtime, when
he retired.
On Sunday morning he was found dead in
bed. As the wound on his wrist was not
sufficient to cause death, an investigation
was made and 1t was found that an artery in
the throat had been ruptured in such man
ner that when he was In an upright position
no serious consequences resulted, but while
lying In bed he bled to death. Such fatal
ity is considered remarkable circumstance

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.-A Victoria
". ~ despatch says the initial stake OF
the Esquimalt Dry Dock was driven yes
terdsy by the Governor General with great
ceremony and pomp. At large public
meeting in Victoria last night the follow
ing was adopted unanimously
Resolved, That in case the Dominion gov
ernment persists IN ignoring the Carnar-
Won settlement of the railway obligations
of the Dominion to British Columbia 1t Is
the request of this meeting that our repre-
sentativesin the Provincial Parliament shall /,
at the next session record their votes for the
separation of British Columbia from the
Dominion.
To day the Governor General was waited
upon by deputation of citizens, whom he
addressed for four hours and quarter on
railway matters. He said he did not con-
slider the cry for separation as serious, and
if the Island wished to leave the Dominion
it would not be prevented; but he warned
the people that the mainland would not
follow it out of the union. he said if the
Island were to secede it would lose capital,
railway, custom house, post office and its
free institutions. and that 1t would sink to
the position of crown colony.
The people were much disappointed at
the result of the interview.

The Porto and tho Great Powers.
Rv AcSnoiaiAd prasc

LONDON, Sept. ga despatch from
Vienna to the Times" reports that diff
Guilty has arisen because the Porte before
granting prolongation Of the armistice
desires the Powers to give their opinion in
regard to it's peace proposition. The Pow
ers on the other hand persist in demanding
the conclusion of the armistice irrespective
Of this condition, because, as they have
from the commencement insisted that an
armistice was indispensable, they consider
it would be derogatory to admit any sort of
compromise on the subject.
The Powers also intend this attitude as a
concession to Russia, she having through
out the negotiations determined and sup.
ported an unconditional armistice. As the
time for which the present suspension of
hostilities has Leen granted draws to close,
the demands of the Powers become more
pressing, some of them having tolerably
plainly intima,ed that the Porte's refusal
to grant the armistice would lead to a sus-
pension Of their diplomatic relations.

A Thief Of no Ordinary Kind.
New York Herald Of yesterday.l


Miss Eliza Denning, alias Miss Abbie
Lincoln. alias Mrs. Ellen B. Dexter, alias
Mrs. 8. P. D,uelaes, arrested by Detectives
Ferris and Mcconnell, of the Central Office,
on Friday morning, WAS arraigned before
Justice Kasmire, at the Washington Place
Police Court, on Saturday afternoon. Mrs.
Marietta O'Brien, of No. IT'S Macdongal
street, charged her with feloniously appro-
priating 1850 worth of furniture, which
Mrs. O'Brien had leased to her on monthly
insralments. The prisoner, who speaks
English, French, German and Italian fluent
ty, seemed perfectly unconcerned, and
during the course of the examination
showed not the slightest sign Of embarrass-
ment. From the statements made by the
detectives having charge of the case 1t would
seem that the prisoner is most accom-
plished criminal.
Two years ago, under the name OF Ellen
B. Dexter, she attempted to blackmail Mr..
Henry Wilson, q dry goods merchant In
Church street. Mr.. Wilson, however, had
her arrested, and in civil suit which was
instituted she was driven out of court.
Afterward, under the name of Abbie Lin
coin, she swindled various householders of
their furniture in the same manner as she
defrauded Mrs. O'Brien. At the time Of
her arrest she was found living in q house
in Thirty-fourth street, owned by Fire
Commissioner Perley. Detectives who have
been engaged on the case class the prisoner
as one of the most accomplished and dan
gerous confidence women in the country.
Justice Kasmire, at the request of Coun-
sellor c. L. Golday, who appeared on be-
behalf of the prisoner, remanded her until
tomorrow afternoon for examination.

Dispatches received by Governor Cham
herlain, and letters received by Senator
Patterson this morning, state that the
number of negroes varies from 30 to 100,
and that no whites were killed. The whites
were from Aiken and Barnwell counties,
South aCarolina, and Columbia county,
Georgia.
1t is said in these dispatches that the
pretended cause of these disturbances was
an assault by two colored men upon white
woman whose person they attempted to
violate. One of the negroes was killed
and the other escaped. Then followed the
slaughter above mentioned.
