SAINT him in seeking a separation, and on her

MINING men on the Pacific coast are agltated

low-6rade ores. There are hundreds of mann
moth lodges extending through various parts Of
tie section named, which are found to contain
reasonable quantities Of gold when assaved. but
When subjected to the milling process 90 not

cannot he saved. Another drawback to all the
mining enterprises of the Pacific coast, especial
y to those d California and Nevada, is the loss
suffered in treating ore by portion of the gold
running of iii taiHn5s. Within comparatively
recent time inventions have been made to lessen
the evil but there is yet room for radical I'M

named John Bradshaw ALIAS Bland with a
pocket knife, iDflictiDg an ugly wound,

George to bring him a bucket. which was
lying upstairs In the stable. George was
going up the steps at the time, and told
Bradshaw to "wait until tomorrow. y
Bradshaw was in hurry to get the bucket,
and became enraged at the reply George
made TO him. A quarrel ensued, and Brad
shaw went 10 Mr.. Hix and tried TO
borrow bis knife, saying he wanted
to kill George with 1t. He went to
the rear Of the stable without getting
the knife, and George apologized
and the two men "made friends" Suisse
quehtly George went up to Bradshaw. who
was standing in the dark, and as quick as
thought plunged his knife ia Bradshaw's
body. The blade entered midway between
the left hip and the lower rib and pene-
trated more than one inch, producing an
ugly and dangerous wound. Bradshaw fell
10 the floor and bled very much. George
ran out OF the stable into the street and eluded
arrest. The wounded man was carried TO
his home. on Ross street, and was attended
by DR.. West. II could not be ascertained
