The famous Prospect mime, near Viz
ginis City, b now rapidly developing
into . genuine bonanza. The vein h
being worked BY means Of tunnels, and
dips east and west along the side Of .
hill which becomes level . few hundred
feet from the main shaft. From Mr.. q.
w. Layton, one Of Ito owners, who
made call yesterday at the MINER Of
flee, we learn that there are two tunnels
run on the vein, and two shafts connect
ing vertically with the tunnels. The
development of the mine Is not yet
complete, however by any means. The
main shaft is down some eighty six feet,
and the other some forty feet. AT the
depth Of eighty six feet the main shaft
connects with the first tunnel, WHICH IL
in 2lO feet. On the dump from this tun-
mel there are now about 1850 tons of
ore, which samples sis pcr ton in gold
and silver ut the Colorado snlelter. Two
carloads were brought up to the smelter
yesterday.
From u point near the mouth of this
tunnel there is shaft sunk on the vein
to q connection with the second tunnel,
u distance Of sixty feet from the first
tunnel and seventy five feet from the
surface. On the dump from this tunnel
there Is about q thousand tons of ore at
present, averaging $lOO to the ton in
gold and silver.
The third, or lowest tunnel, is in
about $50 feet, and will be run in, ~
will the second also, until connection II
made with the main vertical shaft. On
the third dump there are some GU tons
of ore running about $l50 to the ton.
The face of the lower tunnel now shows
. six-foot body Of ore assaying $40 in
gold and silver.
Shipments are now being made Of ore
taken from the hanging wall Of the vein,
which gives a general assay all the way
across of from $50 to $50 in gold and sill

Once More for the "sools. :"

City Marshal Venable was induced
BY the mild mir and warm sunshine
| Yesterday to stroll up to the head Of
Main street. Not that the Marshal
| needs any induccMent to 20 where duty
calls, but on this occasion he did not
know when lie started of the emergency
which presently confronted him.
Stopping u moment ut Freyschlag's, he
pointed out to the gentleman with
whom he was talking man on the
other side Of the strsct, saying ut the
same time, ''that fellow is known
thief and We have been watching him
for some time" The individual r.
fcrred to rcjoicvs in the name Of Thorn
Higgins, ui;ax Burns, and was apparent
" summing himself on the sidewalk, or
the place where sidewalk ought
to he, without any apparent OBJ
icct. AZ the Marshal stood talk
ing, still happening to keep Higgins
i'm view, the latter walked into the lrst-
office, and came out Immediately with
newspaper in his hand, which he APP
eare,l to Ike reading as he walked north
towards Gol(lsn,ith's. In front Of Gold
smiths store was displaced q warm
l.nkiny pair Of socks, in fact several
pair, on which Higgins cast longing
ing eye. Strolling by them he careless
~ let his newspaper fall on them, and
when he picked up the paper picked up
the socks too, and went on his way
thoughtfully whistling. "What did
tell you," cried the eagle-eyctl minion
Of the law, ''he's got 'cm again." To
collar the offender was hut Il moments
work, and Higgins was marched off in
stantly to the Police Court and arraigned
before Judge Wilcox0n the charge Of
petit larceny. Snch quick work Is but

THE AIOREY LETTER.
It's origin FINALLY Discovered.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The origin of
the Morey letter has at last been discoy-
cred. The rIngleader in the conspiracy
was ii. III. HadleY, a prominent officer
OF the Hancock Republican club of New
York, an organization that is embraced
within its membership number of Re
publican politicians who foolishly Jump
ed into the Democratic ranks at a time
when they imagined that Hancock
would he elected. Hadley has told the
story of his connection with the forgery.
While the details of the statements sup
pressed, it is known that Hadley and
his associates palmed off the letter as an
original document upon the Democratic
National committee. John l. Daven-
port, of New York, who deserves the
credit of having unearthed the forgery,
is still engaged in following up the
trail, with the expectation of running
the game into the Democratic camp.
Ex-senator Barnum is suspected of hav-
ing had knowledge of the forgery, and il
is claimed by those who have investiga-
ted the matter that subsequent develop
ments will lay large share ofthe blame
very close TO his door. The investiga-
ton already made completely exonerates
Representative A. s. Hewitt of any
knowledge of the forgery. 1t is report
ed, as gossip, that eX-COngressman II. G.
Worthington, who was collector of Gus
toms at Charleston, 5. c., during Patter.
sons carpet bag administration of that
state, had no knowledge of the letter.
Worthington is native of Cumberland,
Md, where Lindsey lived. He was a
member of the Hancock Republican
club. The story goes that Worthington
persuaded Lindsey to recollect that he
knew Morey, and was familiar with his
hand urifipn

ter-SeVen People Killed, and Heavy
Destruction of Property.

CHICAGO, May 1O.-A Parsons (kan }
special says that a terrible cyclone
passed over McAliisteT, mining settle
ment In the Indian territory, Monday
night. The destruction of life and
property was terrible. Seven people
were killed outright, and four fatally
and eleven dangerously injured. Thir-
ty-nine were more or less hurt. Fifty
nine houses were totally demolished,
and thirty others badly wrecked. The
cyclone cut path through the timber
Just as n scythe would NOW through
grass. The damage to the Usage
Coal and Mining company is very
large. The population of the settle
ment is only 800, and the number OF
sufferers is very great. Mound City,
Missouri, was also struck by cyclone
Monday evening and things were terri
bly, torn to pieces. The storm was the
worst that has ever visited that section.
Trees were uproOted, fences Frustrated
and crops damaged. The steeple of the
Christian church was blown down.
Jacob McCane's house was blown fif-
teen feet from its foundation and fear
fully wrecked. Prices carpenter shop

Green ID. Raum, while in Chicago the
other day, gave his impression Of the
political situation to reporter of the
Tribune of that city. la his opinion
the Republicans have a very important
contest before them this fall, and it will
require united effort and an outlay of
all their strength to carry the next con-
gress. al presume" he said, that the
New York and Ohio Republicans will
settle their differences according TO
their own methods, and come to the
front with good majorities. The out
look in North Carolina is very encourg-
ing. A senator is To be elected from
that state, and the Republicans have
been gaining ground. The Democrats
had less than 5000 majority in North
Carolina in 1880, when they were united.
They are now divided. / think the
state can be carried and u Republican
senator gained to take the place of SEN
ator Ransom, aud gain of a congress
man.atlarge can be made as well. We
are also making a good deal OF Roadway
an Virginia and other southern states.
4 have recently met a number of promi-
;nent Republicans of Louisians, and
they claimed that gain of one or two
members of congress would be made in
that state"

The support of the liquor interest,
upon which the Democrats have been
basing their prospects of victory in
Ohio this year, is likely to cause that
party some embarrassment. If it comes
out squarely in favor of free rum and
against closing the saloons on Sunday
it is certain to sacrifice large number
of votes among the respectable class.
Unless it takes this position, however,
it will tie impossible for the party to
hold the saloon influence. The liquor
men are not disposed to be satisfied
with glittering generalities in the plat
form, doubling whether the Democrats,
when once in power, will dare to repeal
the Pond and Smith laws, and they will
demand that the party take a definite
position upon the question. The dilem-
ma is an unpleasant one and is likely to
tax the ingenuity OF the party leaders to
the utmost.

A WRECKED LIFE.

A Washington correspondent relates
the following incident: "a wretched be-
ing, down ut the heels, unkempt,
ashamed of himself, miserable, was pass
ing up the avenue when the really mag
nillcent figure of the president himself
appeared before him. He had known
Mr.. Arthur IN better days and tried to
get by him unnoticed. Something of
pride was left out of his dreary fortunes,
and he did not care to acknowledge
what his whole attire confessed, that he
was beaten in the battle of life. But
the president walked straight up to
him and took his hand, and asked after
his health, and left him with few can
did words OF encouragement which re-
vived the spirit of the man. That night
| saw him at u newspaper Office. He
had few verses well written, full of
feeling, us well they might be- He said
he had slept in the streets for four nights
past, and lived on crust; he only
wanted enough money from the paper to
bring the price of lodging, and then
he was resolved TO try to do something
again. | am glad 10 say his fortunes
look better to-day, and especially so as
he is man of great talent and was a
few years ago editor of the New York
Times. He pinned his faith ON hoping
to get an Office and failed"

Mrs. jesse James in Court.

RICHMOND, Mo, May 6.-Quite a stir
was created in the court room Yesterday
afternoon by the arrival of the wife of
the late Jesse james. She had been
brought here to testify before the grand
jury, who are now engaged in investi-
eating the charges against Bob and Cap
Ford for the killing of the robber, Wood
Hite, and other crimes which Mrs.
James may reveal. She was accompan-
led here by her two children, little
boy and girl, and lady they called her
sister. When she left the court house
the county attorney, who, by the way,
is a widOwer, kindly took the little girl
by the hand and leisurely walked down
street with the widow, who was heavily
yelled, and gallantly accompanied her
to the WATSON hotel, where she is now
being entertained by the numerous
friends of her late distinguished hus-
band. The lady looked carewOrn and
sad.

A rather important contribution to so
lar physics has been made by Professor
5. p. Langley, of the Allegheny Obser-
vatory at Pittsburg. He passed some
weeks last summer on the top of Mount
Whitney, endeavoring to measure the
intensity of the solar heat at that eleva-
ted station. So far as his results have
been published they do not include an
approximation to the temperature at the
surface of the sun; and the chief point
is confirmation of what had previous
" been reasoned out from heretofore
known conditions. He concludes that a
thermometer in full sunshine outside the
earth's atmosphere would show it to be
very cold. In other words mot his) an
atmosphere is necessary to a manifesto
ton of heat, us without the radiation
into space would be too rapid to produce
any considerable elevation of tempera-
ture above the absolute zero of heat
which is some 400 Fahrenheit degrees
below the freezing point of water

GUIrEAU AGAIN.
The Argument Upon the Bill of Exeep-
lions in the Guiteau Case Began
This Morning.

This Morning.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The argument
upon the bill of exceptions in the Gui-
teau case began this morning before the
Judge of the supreme court, sitting in
banc, Chief Justice Carter presiding,
and Justices Mccartney, Hague and
James. Col. Corkhill and Davidgc, ap-
peared for the government and Reed for
Guiteau. Reed, after brief opening,
passed to the discussion of the question
of Jurisdiction, the court below argu-
ing that the crime was not indictable in
this district because the offense was
not completed here, the mortal
stroke having been given here
while death occurred in New jersey.
Chief Justice Carter Interrupted at one
point to suggest that while murder was
killing a person, the crime could not be
defined as murder until death occurred,
vet the act of felony was completed
when the murderer had finished with his
victim. The counsel proceeded to dis
cuss various authorities upon the sub
iect of Jurisdiction. In brief the cOun-
sci admitted that Guiteau might be in
dicted aud if found to be sane, convicted
in the district of assault with intent to
kill but he could not be tried for muir
der.
Reed argued that the sentence of death
is void because the day fixed for
the execution of the sentence is
not authorized by law, claiming that I'M
der a proper construction of the statutes
in the district date of execution should
have been fixed on same day within
thirty days after the fourth 81 onday in
October 1882. 1t is not expected that
Reed will conclude the opening argu-
ment TO day,
At half past / o'clock the court took
a recess until tomorrow.
