Preparing % Drill.

In Crown Point the $500 level Is be-
ing prepared for operations with q dia'
mond drill. Crosscuts will be run In
this way on the Ksntuck line. 100 feet
further south. and at . point 200 feet
from the north line Of the mine. II the
drills develop anything the holes will be
followed up by regular crosscuts. After
all, this IL the most economical and
quickest way Of prospecting Q level. It
will doubtless be adopted on the 200,
where a drift Is being run north along
the vein and some rs feet nearer the
ledge than the DRIFT on the $500 level.
The pitch OF the ledge is less than that
of the incline above. Hence a drift east
from the station on the 27O0 level has
been made preparatory to placing an en-.
zine and starting nearer the ledge in
running to the 5000 level.

vlRuInlA's DRUMMER LAW.
Il 10 or No Aeeount-Travsiers Can
seIieis There all They Please
Judre Rulings Dseisien.

Judge Rising this morning rendered
his decision in the case Of the Mayor
and Board OF Aldermen Of Virginia
against E. B. Shaw.
The case was originally tried before
Judge Moses and the defendant was
aned for soliciting without . license.
he refused to pay his fne and was com.
mittsd. he then applied To Judge Bis
ing for o writ OF habeas corpus, which
was granted. The case was then argued
and submitted. The objections to the
city ordinance exacting the license will
sufacisntly appear from the opinion Of
the Judge.
Judge Rising. In rendering his dsols.
ion, said, In substance, that the ordi.
nance OF the city OF Virginia, for the
disobsdisncs OF which the defendant had
been restrained OF his liberty. was passed
under the charter as It existed In 1875.
The charter OF the city at that time ooh.
tanned no authority. either specified or
implied. empowering the Mayor and
Board OF Aldermen TO pass and enforce
any such ordinance.
The Legislature Of 1879 amended that
charter, Increasing the powers OF the
Board OF Aldermen In this direction, bat
this Act was not intended 10 cover any
exercise OF unwarranted powers assumed
under the former charter. The ordi.
nance under which the defendant had
been convicted and was imprisoned was
therefore clearly Intellectual.
The Judge stated, however. that as
the charter now stood the city could,
without doubt, pass q new ordinance
which would bs good law and efectual
for the purpose sought to be accom-.
plishsd.
The defendant was therefore dis.
charged and his bail refunded.
