MADISON COUNTY NOTES.
[Madisonian, April Ill


The grand jury finished its work on Friday,
and was discharged. True bills were found
and presented against Johu II. Johnson for
assault with intent to kill, committed on
Jacob N. Merkle; VIM. Watts, for assault
with intent to do bodily harm, committed on
P. D. Hayward; and Albert Chadsey. for
murder in the first degree, committed upon
John j. Richards.
Frost still continues its winter fastness in
the mines in Alder gulch and it will take sew
erai days Of the most favorable weather to
bring it out sufficiently for ground-s.uicing
operations to be commenced. Most of the
claim owners have their mines in shape and
vigorous work will be the order when old
Boreas once takes his summer vacation.
The quartz boom in this vicinity still con-
tinues and new discoveries are almost Of
daily occurrence. Prospective millionaires
are numerous, and during fine days the hill
sides are peopled with prospectors. In one
day last week there were twelve applications
for record filed with Recorder Davis. Keep
it up, boys. The worst thing that can happen
you is to get on the " hook card"

Alu.os a Shooting Scrape.

|ohn Doe was Yesterday fined $40 and costs
drawing d pistol on 4 nan on Saturday
bit. The evidence showed that he with
be more was playing faro, and that II of
players, either through mistake OF other
|e, picked up a stack of chips which be-
|ged to the man who was arrested, where
In the latter drew q six shooter and ordered
} to put the chips back, which was very
igingly done. A bystander, fearing that
be one would be shot, took hold of the
(ol by the muzzle in order to prevent 1t
Big off, when the owner of the gun proba-
%mistaking him for the other party, snapped
trigger several times to the imminent
|ger of the crowd. This, of course, was a
h r~eprebensible act, and he may consider
he got off easy with a fine of S37. Had
pistol been loaded with the right kind Of
bridge some one would undoubtedly have
IN killed.

GLENDALE.
The srneiter Started Up Again.

During the past three weeks business in
Glendale has been somewhat quiet, owing to
the fact that the snelter was closed down fer
want of charcoal. Yesterday, however, con-
tracts having been concluded for several hum
dred Thousand bushels, the fires were started
up again for a long and successful run, so
that a large output of bullion may be expected
i'll the near future.
Nothing definite can now be ascertained
relative to the impending sale of the Hecla
~colnpany's property to a French corporation,
for though reports are current in Glendale
that the transfer has been effected, they yet
lack official confirmation. Iii believed, how
ever, that the sale is only a matter of time.
Even before the railroad had entered the Ter
ritory, and while the lead market was suffering
a period of unusual depression, the operations
OF the company We're very profitable. Since
that time the ore bodies have increased in
extent and richness and now that the railroad
is certain to pass within a few miles of the
camp, there is nc, reasonable doubt that the
mines CAN be worked to a much greater profit
and or an absolutely safe basis. In this view
of the case, it is believed that the experts
who during the past few weeks have been ex-
aiming the several mines belonging to the
company, will make a favorable report if they
have not before now made one, and that there
is little doubt ultimately OF the purchase
being made, if, indeed, it has not already been
concluded. The consummation of this sale,
however, is not by any means looked upon
as strictly necessary to the prosperity of the
camp. As long as the mines are worked they
will continue to yield the precious metal in
paying quantities, and it makes little differ
ence as to what company may be fortunate
enough to secure control of them.

Between Heaven and EarfbS

Charles May and his brother
Robert in the spring of 1870, offer
ed to pass railroad ties dowu the
arkansas from the mountain
source. He says: "Our offer was
accepted, when we started into the
upper entrance of the canyon with a
large skiff, provided with six days
provisions and two hundred feet of
rope, with which by taking run
mig turn around some firmly plant
ed object, we could lower our boat
one hundred feet at time. In this
way at the end of three days, hav-
ing set adrift many hundred ties,
we reached the entrance OF Royal
George. Here we discovered that
an atteupt to descend the first wa
terfall was certain destruction, and
to return was impossible. Accord
ingly l determined to let my broth
er down the fall in the boat. At a
distance of two hundrd feet l gave
him the rope and let him take the
chance of the canyon life seemed
more certain in that direction),
while I could risk my physical abil
ity to climb the canyon wall, which
was about two thousand feet high.
About ten o'clock in the morn
ing shook hands with my brother,
lowered him in the boat safely to
the foot of the fall; gave him the
rope and saw him no more. Then
throwing aside my hat, coat and
boots, and stripping the socks from
my feet, and commenced my climb
ing way often reaching the height
100 or 200 feet only to be compelled
to return to try some other way.
1t length about ) O'Clock Iii the af-
ternoon | reached height on the
smooth canyon of abOnt thousand
feet. Here my further progress
was arrested by q shelving ledge of
rock that jutted out from the can

vance was without hope; to return
certain death. Reaching upward
and outward, l grasped the ledge
with one hand, and then with
the other my feet slipped from the
smooth side of the canyon, and my
body hung suspended one thousand
feet above the roaring waters of the
arkansas.
At that moment l looked down to
measure the distance would fall
when the strength of my arms gave
out. A stinging sensation crept
through my hair as my eye caught
sight of cedar bush projecting
over the edge just beyond my reach.
Ny grasp ofthe ledge was fast yield
ing to the weight of my body.
Then l determined to make my
best effort to raise my body, and
throw it sideways towards the root,
so as to bring it within my grasp.
At the moment of beginning the eff

leaned. over the ledge, and caught
me by the hair. Stranger, my moth

The Riuht Sort of Men.

IA You will find, as a rule, that the
men who are favorites with men are
the hest and truest in their relations
with women. Yes, the men who
like sometimes to turn their backs
upon all women, and go off with the
other fellows and havea good boy
ish time on the water, or the noun
tain or in some other mans "den."
Women never need be afraid to trust
their happiness to those whom 9th
Ell good men esteem good fellows, but
if man is avoided by men, however
much women admire him, shun
him. 1t is he who has fiirtations
that come to nothing, and has not
been very nice to the girls who have
broken their engagements with
him, who when he marries, wrings
his wife's heart, if she has one, and
spoils her temper if she is naturally
an angel. Manly men are the best
lovers, the best husbands, the best
companions for women, just as wo-
Imanlv women are the best sweet
hearts and wives. What do we
think ofwomen who shun their own
sex, however charming men may
Ifnd them? 1t is seldom, if ever
that your mems favorite ill-uses his
wife. Perhaps it may be explained
in this way-friendship of a sublima-
ted sort is what love becomes after
a year or so of marriage, and he who
lis entirely friendly to the very
depths of his soul enters into this
state happily and is ready for all
the delights that follow. But a
man who is capable of nothing but
that fleeting affection that ever fol-
lows new object, and cares for no
woman when she is won, hates the
domestic ties and becomes detesta-
4 BILE in consequence, 1t is the man
who would die for his, and for
Whom his friend would die, who
makes miraculously happy wife
to the woman to whom he scarcely
knew how to make love when he
courted her.,
