ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 27.-The con-
viction of the Ku Klux created
sensation. The ringleaders are men
of considerable prol ,erty and men,
bers of a large family in Banks
county named Marlborough. Four of
the family, Jasper, James, Ditmus
and Neil were tried and convicted.
Lovick Streetman, +. Fl. Green, Bold
E Morry and Stag Landerman were
the others. Jasper Marlborough is
the leader of the gang. The charge
against them is they committed out
RACES on negroes because the negroes
voted for Hon. Emery Speers for
Congress. Speer was defeated and
was appointed United States district
attorney, so it fell to his lot to prose-
cute the Ku Klux. In his charge
Judge Mccoy was so liberal for the
defense that acquittal was considered
certain. When the verdict wac read
convicting the whole gang several
broke down and sobbed audibly. The
prisoners were handcuffed and taken
to Jail. Their counsel used every
effort to secure a new trial. They
have not been sentenced The pen
atty is from one to six years. This is
the first conviction of Ku Klux in
Georgia.

MINING MATTERS.
What Our Mines Have Been Do
ing During the Past Week,
And the Promising Outlook for
the Future,

Many people IN the Territory, who
are otherwise well posted, do not
realize what the mines of this district
are Gcing. We have }scre some of thr
largest and richest mines known. and
they are backed and are being worked
by wealthy capitalists who know
their extent and value. Every week
better results are being received, and
the Summit Valley District was
never in more prosperous condition.
THE MAGMA CHARTA.
Sinking still continues in the main
shaft and the bottom will be reached
in few days. When the shaft gets
down to the 6OO-foot level stations
will be cut at once, and i'll order to
intersect the different veins crOss-cut-
ting will be done. A large amount
ofstoping is being done, and the fine
ore body in the 3O0-foot level south
of the shaft and east of the cross-cut
still continues. The drift from the
200 foot level, which was about 400
feet in from the shaft last week.
shows good body of ore assaying
about ~ ounces. On the 1OO-foot
level the ore body lately struck still
improves in quality and size as the
drift to the east is extended. About
100 tons per day are being crushed
and the mills are running regularly.
cLARKE's COLUsA.
In the cross-cut run from the 100
station the vein has been struck, and
yesterday some very fine copper
glance was encountered. The shaft
is being sunk with all possible rapid
ity there beng three eight-hour shifts
at work. In the drift from the old
discovery shaft l50 tons Of so per
cent. copper ore have been taking out
and while doing this there has been
taken out two car loads of copper
glance assaying 10 per cent. copper.
THE MOULTON.
The slopes in the 2OO-foot level OH
the centre vein are looking well,
and the 400 foot slopes, of which
there are now three and fourth to be
started, are in good ore. Work is
also progressing in the 800 foot
slopes.
THE ORIGINAL.
The raise on the 800 foot level has
been carried through connecting with
the slopes on the 200 foot, thus form
ing valuable air come ction. Stop
ing will be commenced at the bot
tom of this winZe. The usual amount
OF ore is being taken out.
THE POLLACK.
This mine lies about one mile
northeast of the Moulton. A 100 ton
lot of ore now being worked is run
ming at an average of 80 ounces.
There are two veins on this lead. On
the north vein tunnel has been run
l5O feet. at the face of which is a two
foot vein of pyrargerite. commonly
known as ruby silver. This tunnel
will cut the shaft at a depth OF 100
feet. West of the face of the tunnel
about so feet, shaft has been sunkto
\ depth of . feet on the north vein.
Another shaft is down 40 feet on the
,outh vein and is now in body of
chloride ore stained with malachite.
cLARKE's FRACTION.
The cross-cut being driven on the
south. of which mention was made
ast week, has not yet reached the
vein. Stopping is being done from
the raise at the middle of the drift
and also on the 300 foot level. The
output of ore will be about ten tons
per day.

At the conference of the International
exhibition, IA paper on the fisheries of
Japan was read by Mr.. Narinori Okoshl,
a member of the japanese consulate in
London. The peculiar situation of this
country affords most extensive fishing
grounds, and the variety of climate EN-
braced in an almost tropical zone of
twenty-four degrees of latitude, and a
glacial zone of tifty-one degrees, is IA
vorable for almost every sort of fish,
while in the interior fresh water fish are
abundant. The chief food of the peo-
pie has been, and still is, fish, which is
eaten as meat in this country; and al
though the use of flesh food has been in
troduced by foreign intercourse, yet only
the better class can afford the cost. The
Japanese fishing grounds are estimated to
contain Is, 900, 600 acres. Consequently,
Japan should produce 10, 600, 600 tons of
fish. Mollusks and crustacea also abound,
and there are several kinds of seaweeds
which are extensively consumed by the
fishermen.
