| The Chronicle retracts a stock
item stating that the Hale q
| Norcross Vein contained very
little metal, rs follows:
| The chief point of the forego-
ing statement-that is, as to the
character Of material developed
by the south drifts entirely
false. The information was fur
ffished to a some what inexperi-
enced reporter by "Captain"
John Kelly, formerly Superin-
| tendent ofthe Lady Bryan mine,
of which many people have
heard Ito their cost The
"Captain" is probably short on
the stock, as he has been per
slstentIy decrying it on the
streets for several weeks past.
This he might have continued
with ilnpunity, but when he at
tempted to make Il cat's-paw of
the Chronicle he will be pretty
apt to burn his fingers. He
can't s.salt" the columns of this
paper with amy profit or conn
fort to himself.
The facts as to the NorcroSs
drift are as follows 1t was
started south ward between two
seams of ore about IL feet apart.
After running some % feet the
drift was turned eastward to cut
the seam Oh the left, and west
ward that on the right. Both
seams show very fine ore, which
will mill about $50 per ton |
(taking an average of IS as
says RS the basis for this es- |
timtte,) From a drill hole run
- feet into the face OF the
westerly drift the assays yester- !
day were about $50.
1t is very common for Kelly
to take gloomy view Ct a mine
when he is short of stock. The
last talk that Captain Kelly
had with the writer was to the
effect that the next deal would
come in Hale & N0rcres3 sure.
We had Il few shares and sold it

He closed at quarter OF II
O'Clock. The c; Urt room was
packed with spectators, and the
greatest interest was manifested.
The Count then read to the jury
the instructions filed by both

relative to the different degrees
of homicide and their duties as
jurors. The charge was clear
and impartial. The jury retired
at 1870, and at o'clock word
Was sent to the Court that they

play guitar ten feet from him.
He consented and a guitar was
placed in the middle Of q bed
in full view Of the crowd. The
boy was tied fast to q chair she
required ten feet away and the
lights turned low, but not so
low but that all objects could be
seen. The boy never moved and
the guitar was played for several
minutes. Two ladies were al
lowed to approach the bed and
solemnly assert that they could
see the strings picked up by
some invisible force and the vi
brations could be plainly seen.
The boys coat then came of
and fell On the floor although he
was tied by forty feet Of rope.
The coat was passed about for
inspection and the boy could
be still seen in his shirt sleeves.
The coat was then thrown in
his lap and was on again in
spite of the ropes, instantly. He
was seen to rise in his chair
about two inches and bend for

An Alaska Coal Mine.

Near Cape Lisburne, at the "Arctic
coal uine," twenty tons of coal were
dug and carried aboard in sacks in one
day. These mines are within the Arctic
circle, some distance on the American
side, and are plainly exposed from top
to bottom in the face of a perpendicular
bluff, about $50 feet in height. Their
widths are from three to twenty feet, and
such as are under ten feet are pure coal,
while those over are nearly so, slate be-
ing slightly mixed. The veins pitch at
an angle of about forty-five degrees,
and are numerous On the tundra, or
grassy plain above, the lodges can be
followed for miles, and after pitching
down the precipice they can be traced
across the sandy beach until lost in the
sea. Such as taken by tine Corwin wss
surface coal, lying about in great
chunks, weighing oDe-half ton or more,
which had to be broken up before being
handled. 1t was something between
anthracite and bituminous, burned well
and made but little smoke, although it
left a great deal of ashes. In handling
it left but little dirt, and for use it gave
excellent satisfaction. 1t Is thought that
depth will show it to be fine quality of
anthracite coal. These mines have been
known to whalers for some years, and
now that steam whalers are coming into
vogue they win probably be well patron
lied.

Carlton Mccarthy; in his "Detaifed
Minutes of Soldier Life in the Army OF
Northern Virginia." after giving q
graphic account of Gen. Lees army at
Appomattox, when, as is well known,
the Confederate Army was on the verge
of starvation, makes the following state
ment, page 1853:
During the day line of men came
single file over the hill near the camp,
each bearing on his shoulder box of
shard-t tack, or crackers. Behind these
came 8 beef, driven by soldiers. These
crackers and beef we're present from
the Federal troops near, who, knowing
the famishing condition of the surround
ed army, had contributed their days
rations for its relief"
Private Mccarthy adds: ''It was a
soldierly act which was thoroughly sP-
preciated. ."-Richplo1d Bdt0n.
