STILL MORE MYSTERY.

In the last issue of The TIMES we
alluded t. the mystery surrounding
the death Of James McNity, a miner,
who on the morning of the 26;h ulti-
mo WAS found dead on the it0o-ioot
level of the Gould and Curry mine.
We also spoke some plain words re-
spccting the slipshod manner in which
a coroner's jury went through the
torn of holding an investigation.
Our attention WAS first called to
this matter by gentlemen who have
been for years in charge Of misses
deep mines-in various parts of the
country and who are as familiar with
all the conditions underground in the
region of the Coms.ock as any among
us. They thought at the time of the
discovery of the dead body of Nc
Witty that possibly something was
not right. When they read the evil
dence taken before the coroner's jury
aud saw the trlt'ing manner in which
the inquest was conducted they were
more suspicious than ever, And
finally when the snimadversion Of
The TiNrs brough; forth no response
from any quarter their suspicion At
once took the form of conviction.
So tar as we are concerned We did
not expect response, and we do not
look for any now. Anyone acquainted
with the conduct vi newspapers in
general aud especially of these Of the
Comstock knows exactly what to
count on from them IN special con-
tingencicS, where certain heavy in
terests are nearei or touched upoa.
Our experience in the bullion tax
discussion is ample tor proof o: the
correctness Of this conclusion.
McVity, i, will be remembered,
was found dead with marks Of via-
ience Oh him. The temperature Of
that part Of the mine where his body
was discovered was reported by wit
ness 10 be lis degrees, and there was
nothing said about Initiated air. The
men who went in various parts Of The
mine in quest of the missing man re-
ported no inconvenience experienced
from any cause, and the mine had
no, been ventilated or its conditions
in auywise changed from the time
that McNity Is supposed II have died
OF asphyNia, As We said before, when
man dies Of asphyxia blood does
not purge from his mouth and nose,
rs il did from This dead miners.
Why then did not the coroucr'S jury
have y surgeon summoned to a>cer-
tain i! injuries had been Inflicted
sufficient to cause DEATH Ii no such
injuries were present, the cause would
be plain; II they were present, then
whail
To lie: this matter pass over with
out an explanation is Ia warn miners
and visitors to mines tina, II they
stray away from the path marked for
them and tread m forbidden ground
they may expec; TO be fouad dead
from asphvNia."

MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
SAN Francisco. Dec. 81 The city
papers of yesterday gave brief ac-
count of the rescue of young woman
from the bay at the foot Of Beale
street by the local police officer. A
strange sequal to this event was de-
veloped yesterday evening by the dis
covery and investigation by the Coro-
ner. From these it is inferred that
the woman first committed murder
and then attempted to drown herself.
Yesterday afternoon the account was
te egrxphed of man named Chris
,opher Josephson, ex-quartermaster
on the Pacific Mail steamer New
Granada, being found dead in bed in
his room, No. 449 First street, with a
ball through his head and revolver
beside him. Subsequent inquiries
go to show that the woman
saved from the bay, whose
name is Antonio +. V. Apponig, had
been living as servant with the
family of August Pracht, at Bur
gouye Place, off Pacific street. be-
tween Lesvenworth and Hyde: was
an acquaintance OF Jnsephsoa's, and
tina, on account of some family com
plications she WAS about to marry
