THE KALLOCH VERDICT.
Contrary TO Law, Justice and
Reason.

The Carson Appeal says the jury in the
Kalloch case found a verdict Of "not
guilty." on the extraordinary plea Of
"former acquittal." This verdict was in
direct violation Of the charge Of the Court
to the jury, who said
"In regard to the issue of former acquit.
tai, l charge you, as a matter. of law, thai
there has been no evidence interposed here
which tends to sustain the plea. There
fore, it will be your duty to return to the
Court, on that plea, q verdict for the
people,"
In the teeth OF this plain and %unequivo-
cal languagefrom the bench, the Jury &C.
quilted a man who, by reason of his delb-
crate crime, did not seem to have enc
chance in q thousand of escaping the
gallows.
After the verdict a strange spectacle is
witnessed in the streets. A mob of men
endorse the crime by taking Kallosh's
horses from his carriage and pulling the
murderer through the streets, while men

houses along Market street cheer and wave

TIL Kallochs came to San Francisco with
an infamous reputation, and began to take
a hand in political affairs. The Chronicle
began to show up the elder Kalloch, as i.
had a right to do. The exposure of Kali
loch's back record, which was dirty beyond
all expression, and fully proven, only
seems to make him the more popular in
San Francisco. His hypocrisy, double
dealing, disappearing. swindling, lying and
i%bertinisms, all carried ON under the gospel
cloak, seemed to nave endeared him to the
people of San Francisco to a most extra
ordinary degree. Such filthy obscenity
was never spewed from the lips of a public
! speaker as the terms in which he alluded
to De Young's mother, and it was ap-
plauded to the echo. These same clacquers
were in the courtroom during the trial,
kissing or applauding as they felt inclined.
The verdict is simply a fresh illustration
of the beauties of the law by which men
OF intelligence are excluded from the
Jury box.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN
CARSON.
George Weston Frightfully Mutt.
lated I'm Hunts Planning Mill.

George weston FrightfuIly Mutt.
lated I'm Hunts Planning MIL.
The Carson Times of Saturday gives the
following particulars Of a shocking occur
renee in that town:
George A. Weston met with a very pain
ful accident about 8 O'Clock this morning
at Hunts saw and planning mill. in the
southeastern part OF town, and narrowly
escaped instant death.
He was engaged in sharpening planer
knives on an emery wheel sixteen inches in
diameter, revolving at the rate Of 8, 1000
revolutions per minute, when a nut on the
governor Of the steam engine slipped off.
As an inevitable result he lost control OF
the engine; the emery wheel acquired q
frightful velocity and burst into fragments.
One piece went through q bar Of iron half
an inch thick; another struck Weston In
the navel, but not penetrating the flesh;
still another fragment struck his right
cheek, inficting q CHASTITY wound, cutting
an oval-shaped incision about three inches
in diameter and breaking off his upper Jaw
with six teeth init, which piece fell on the
floor, also cracking his lower Jaw and cut
ting into an artery in his neck. The I'M
fortunate Weston sank to the floor in q
pool Of blood. He was Immediately taken
to the Hospital, where his injuries were at
tended by DR.. s. L. Lee, the County Sur
geon.
Speaking Of the same accident the Car
son Tribune says all of Weston's teeth on
that side of his face, except his wisdom
tooth, were carried away and a piece of his
tongue cut off. Although Weston was con-
scious and showed good courage yesterday
his wounds are Of a dangerous character,
il they take a bad turn may cause his
death.

BETTER GROUND.

It is to be hoped, says the Chicago
Mining Review, that the many prepare
tions made during previous years through
out the mining territory, may be able to
make a satisfactory showing in the di-
rection OF increased bullion output before
the close Of the coming season. The
mining interests of this country cannot
be longer sustained upon booms, wonder
full strikes, fabulous assays or wide veins.
Stockholders and the people generally
throughout the country have patiently
waited for some tangible result from all
their investments. The fireworks and
meteoric display are all well enough; but
our people are practical, and after the
show is over their minds revert to the
one point of interest-that is, something
for the money spent. Mines are now
generally rated in public opinion by the
ability they possess to produce ore, and
no reasonable man will question the
soundness of this verdict. If mining as
a productive industry cannot produce
anything it must fall behind in the race.
and see other live industries absorb the
active capital seeking investment in every
promising enterprise. Mining must come
to the standard and basis of production,
for it has no legitimate object or business
outside of that alone. No one can sug-
gest any other use for a mining industry
than to furnish metals for the needs of
the worlds activity. When it is turned
aside from this object, and fails to ac-
complish this work, it is stepping outside
of its sphere and is standing upon uncer-
tain and dangerous ground.
The investing public have been very
patient, and have exhibited a strong and
enduring faith ia the ultimate success of
the mining industry. They have borne
without complaint disappointment, and
suffered unjust loss from dishonest man.
agement, comforted by the hope of the
better time near at hand, when the SPLEEN
did promise of mining should be fulfilled,
and it's real worth indicated. But the
indications are that the limit of this
patient endurance is near at hand, and
the proof of value and wealth of mines
and of mining must be shown hereafter
in the solid and substantial proof of hard
metal.
The glow of the golden sunset, the
ripple of flowing streams, the fragrance
of blooming meadows, are all beautiful !;
but the purchaser of the farm has a
deeper interest in the amount of grain
each acre will produce, the number of
tons Of hay the meadow will return, and
the probability of the brook furnishing
water for the cattle in the pasture during
the dry and parching Summer.
The time has come for practical bust
ness operations in everything connected
with mining. A solid basis of fact must
underlie every theory of the probable
future. Romance and illusory pictures
of princely wealth may now form Access
series to the picture, but the foundation
must be solid, and there must be the
element of real wealth and true value.
Therefore we express the desire that the
records OF the present year may prove
the high position which mining is entitled
to take by the magnitude and true value
OF its inexhaustible stores of wealth.

New York, March 28.-The Worlds
London correspondent says: It is rumored
on good authority that the Government
Land bill will not offer the Irish tenants
fxity of tenure. though it will afford in
creased stability Of tenure, and that it
contains clauses drawn on the lines Of last
years compensation for the Disturbance
bill, increasing the fine payable by land
lords who are adjudged guilty by the
Courts of arbitrary eviction. Courts Of
arbitration will be established with power
to decide what is a fair rent, when disputes
arise between the landlord and tenant.
The right of free sale will be given to
tenants, subject to Q reasonable objection
Of the landlords to incoming tenants.
Landlords will be obliged to prove to the
satisfaction Of the Court that their objec-
ton to the incoming tenant are reasonable.
Facilities will be given to tenants to be-
under the extension of the Bright clauses
OF the Land Act of 1879. Provisions will
be made for the compulsory sale of large
tracts of waste land, which will be divided
into mall farms and sold on favorable
terms to tenants. Though this programme
will not perhaps satisfy the more advanced
advocates Of the land for the people doc
trine. 1t will, II carried out in its entirety,
produce q great revolution in the condi-
ton Of the Irish farming class. Landlords
will be deprived Of arbitrary powers, and
tenants will obtain legal security for their
interest for whatever improvements they
make on their farms. Under the opera
tions Of this proposed law it is probable that
the conflict between the landlord and ten
ant classes will rapidly subside, and Ire
land will enter . new era Of prosperity

HERE is another chance for Edison.
News comes from Florence, South Caro-
lima, that while a man was crossing a

lightning at the same time dug a hole,

it would sell "Polyform," and benefit

Do silver Mines Grow Richer as
Depth il Attained.

The opinions Of most miners agree in
the assertion that mines grow richer as
depth is attained. Professor @. E. Avery
has given the subject considerable atten-
ton, with the following result, which is
encouraging to our Eastern miners. and
will be read with much interest. At the
present time the mining interest in Maine,
in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland is at
tracing unusual attention. The Profess
sor says: The question is often asked why
silver mines usually grow richer as they
go deeper. Facts are worth more than
theories, and the account Of some ASSAYS
lately made may throw some light on the
fact OF silver at the top Of veins. especially
veins OF sulphuret ores. Two assays we're
made that only gave three or four ounces
to the ton. The owner OF the mine ex-
pressed no surprise, saying that he ex-
pected it, for they came from the excava.
tiOns in q Colorado shaft abandoned some
sixteen years ago. The water had partly
filed the shaft, and old miners in the vi
cinity said the silver disappeared if the
mine was left exposed. He then sent for
samples obtained after further excavation,
and both of these gave much higher re-
turns. 1t seems likely that under the in
huence OF air and water the silver sulphide
had oxidized to silver sulphate, dissolved,
and drained away. After the tremendous
planning down the surface Of Maine has I'M
dergone from glacial action, many Of the
silver-bearing veins must have been worn
down to a great depth. We might then
expect the richer portions of the vein to be
exposed, for il the increase first found was
carried to the greatest depths the mines
must be rich indeed. II we allow, in
stead, that air and water, acting for thou
sands of years, have removed the silver,
we can easily see why the first 200 feet may
be poor in silver. That the mines do
grow richer in silver as they descend seems
to be borne out by assays personally made.
Old patrons bring in samples assaying both
higher and better. When prospectors first
came with samples of Maine ores, not one
was OF value unless as an indication /; now
three in five are workable ores.

CHICAGO, March 2S. -The Journals
Washington special says: The New York

conversation in political circles. Senator
C%onkling's action is awaited with great in

Washington and New York, a report that
the new Secretary Of War is about to issue

officers equal privileges in performing duty
at preferred posts. 1t is the good fortune
of some to have been permanently on duty
here for thirteen years, while officers of the

sometimes occur to show the brutality of
hanging as a means of capital punish

agony. He was taken up and compelled
to wait on the scaffold until a new rope
was procured from an adjacent hardware
