A correspondent of the Coso
Mining Ne,os has the following in
reference to a rich mine at Resting
Springs which is being developed
by Los Angeles capital:
The Gunsight mine has reached
the greatest depth and Is claimed
as the champion mine of the dis
trict; they are down now $50 feet,
and still sinking. This mine is stu
ated in limestone, has u northeast
and southwest course, dips to the
east at an angle of some 45 degrees
and OH the surface is about two feet
in width; but as they have worked
down upon it has increased to
eight feet, or from hundred feet
below the surface has shown an ave-
rage of fully go feet in width. This
mine, with several others of appa-
rent merit, is owned by the Los
Angeles Mining and Smelling Com
pany, who have now in successful
operation 40-ton furnace, lately
erected in place of small one put
up last year for the purpose of test
ing their ores. They have fully a
thousand tons of ore on their dump
at the mine and nearly as much at
the furnace. The ore has close
resemblance to the Lucky Jim ore
of Darwin, and, should judge,
quite as rich in silver. The man.
agement of this Company's affairs
is In very competent hands and
the Superintendent, Mr.. Osborne,
has successfully surmounted many
obstacles and added another star to
California's galaxy of successful
mining districts.

More Ab0Hi Duncan.

SAN FRANCISCO, FEB. 25.-Some
idea of the the difficulty of the I'M
dertaking In the capture of Duncan
may be obtained from the consider
alton of the fact that, when Ned
MCGOWAN was wanted years ago by
the Vigilance Committee, about
sixty thousand dollars were ex-
pended on detective work on the
peninsula of San Francisco, on
which he remained all the time,
without success. During the hunt
after Duncan the police have
searched over one hundred houses
in the city, a list of which will be
furnished at some future time.
After the arrest this morn
Ing the house where he was
found was subject to close
examination and it was found to be
admirably adapted for purposes of
concealment and escape. tits near
the corner of California on the
west side of Kearny street, and
Duncan's room was on the third
floor In the rear of the building.
From his window one could step
upon the roof of the adjoining
building on the corner of California
street, then to the top of yet anoth-
err building, from which Il ladder
reached to the roof of a low shed,
whence the ground could be easily
gained, and the fugitive would
then have the choice OF several av-
enues of escape. When descent was
made on the house. All these ave.
nues were carefully guarded and u
policeman assembled by the route
above indicated, and took a posi-
ton under Duncan's window.
Duncan bad but little to say after
his arrest. He is i'll in body and
mind, suffering from nervous pros
tratiOn besides recent severe at
tack of pneumonia. He is penny
less, having exhausted his means
in attempts to escape aud
devices for concealment. He
took with him on his dis
appearance about nine thousand
dollars all of which has been used
up and at the time of capture he
had but a dollar and half in his
possession, and he claims that he
did his utmost to save the deposit
ors of the bank and that his funds
were dissipated in his attempts to
meet the payments falling due and
keep the concern above water. He
also states that he has been in con-
slant fear of being mobbed if cap.
tured and that that fear has had O
strong influence to deter him from
surrendering himself. By advice
OF his counsel all access is denied

Caught Ns LNAt-Duncnn In Quod
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.-The
arrest of Duncan has been the
theme of conversation in the city
to-day. Although it has been con-
stantly believed in well informed
circles that police arrangements
were such as to cause his ultimate
capture, the announcement came
unexpectedly and many were slow
to believe it although published In
all the morning papers. The full
history of the means taken to Sc
cure his arrest would fill a volume
and show clearly the great Difficult.
ty which has been experienced in
capturing a fugitive who has been
all the time within
an arms reach of the
the authorities. Notwithstanding
the time that has elapsed since
Duncan's disappearance the police
authorities claim that at no time
has it been possible for him to leave
the city without detection and cap
ture; that officers have been con-
stantly detailed to watch all the
ferry streets; two others have made
it their especial duty to examine
every deep water vessel leaving
port, while four more have seen to
1t that not q coaster. tug, fishing
smack or craft OF any description
has left the city without being
searched. In addition to these
precautions, Captain Lees and
one policeman, with a number of
assistants, has maintained a watch
over all water craft. One officer
has been constantly OH duty at the
Pacific Mail dock, and two on Long
Bridge; two Others in a boat have
watched the bay beyond Hunters
Point, keeping at their posts during
all the stormy weather that has
prevailed for the last six weeks.
Two men have been all the time
stationed at San Bruno; two mount
ed men have patrolled the water
front and eight have been securing
South San Francisco, while six
horsemen, including four detec-
tives, have exercised general sur
veillance over the peninsula be-
You'd the city limits. Every man
to whom any suspicion attached
has been Swallowed, and four men
have been constantly employed in
working up the case about the ci y.
There have also been officers with
boats on the ocean beach, ranging
south as far as Monterey Bay,
boarding vessels and preventing
communication from the shore.

Duncan Interviewed.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.-All
the morning papers publish inter
views with Duncan. They are all
to the same general effect. He de.
MES having been guilty of crime;
says his hands are clean as regards
any Misrepresentation of funds of
the bank; that he expected to pull
through up to the very time of
closing the bank. He accounts
for the failure by the decline in
business since the suspension of
the Bank of California, AMI the
usurious rates of interest he was
compelled to pay on loans to keep
afoat. He denies having raised
the certificates of Safe Deposit
Stock, saddling that on Lewarne.
He declines to give any account of
his adventures since his disap-
pearance, on the ground that
it might make trouble for
friends who have assisted him. He
says he never intended to leave
the city, and would not have con.
cealed himself except at the solicit
tation of friends; that his sole at
tempt to escape was in COM
pliance with their desire, slim
ulated by the fear that
he would be mobbed by
the Kearney crowd if captured.
Had it not been for that fear he
would have given himself up long
ago. He believes, if given an OPP
portunity, lie can save the deposit
tors much from the ruins of the
bank, and will use every eXertion
to that end.
