JOAQUIN MURIETTA's BURIED
TREASURE.

a few weeks ago we made note oil a
strange story coming to us from the
Coast range relative to an old padre, who
had suddenly made his appearance after
being dead for forty odd years. The
oddly and accepted impossibility OF the
story led an Expositor reporter to make
an investigation of it, with results that
probably give the true inwardness OF the
matter. When Joaquin and his band
were committing their depredations
through the State, they accumulated, as
the result of their outlawry, large sum
of money, amounting to more than $780,
600, and that, too, after having made a
liberal division of their funds. This
large sum had been secreted in lots of a
few thousand dollars, as they returned
from different raids through the mines,
by the consent of the band, at some Sc
cluded spot in the Coast mountains,
known only to the leader OF the party
and Three. Fingered Jack, and they were
sworn to keep its location secret until
the band had accumulated fund suffici
ent to divide and give each member of it
$4,000 But before they had succeeded
in raising this stake the band was over
taken by Captain Love and his party,
and both joaquin and Three Fingered
Jack were killed. 1t seems, however, to
have occurred to the villain known as
Three-Fingered Jack that death was
likely to occur at any time to the whole
party, and he prepared a statement and
map showing the amounts and locations
Of the buried treasure. This note was
left with pious old priest with instruc-
tions that it was to be delivered after a
lapse of years to certain of Three.
Fingered Jacks relatives in Mexico.
The priest was given a sum OF money tt
90 to that country and search out those
relatives. At least this is the tenor o.
the story. The lonely occupant of thu
secluded valley is supposed to be one o
the relatives of the old veteran cut
throat, who, having become possessed o
the map of the region where the bandits
/ treasures were buried, is now in searcl
Of them. Mrs. joaquin Murietta in
clines to the opinion, however, that tn
burial place Of the bandits treasures wa
known only to Joaquin, and that he too
the secret with him to the grave. II
had frequently told her of his burie
wealth, but did not disclose its location
but she feels confident that it is som,
where near what is known as Joaquin

sought for it. but without success

Ohio journals are calling attention to
the fact that in the late local elections
each party in several cases carried the
other party's strongholds. Cleveland
and Columbus are the most notable in
stances given. In the former city the
Republicans have counted on majority
ranging from five to eight thousand with
reasonable certainty and seldom been dis
appointed until last October, when the
Democrats carried the city by about four
thousand majority; while in the latter
the Republicans have wiped out q long.
standing Democratic majority and estab-
lished one Of their party. There is nc
cause Of regret in such changes as these.
They show that the independent voter is
sufficiently numerous in both parties t.
discipline them when they need correc
ton. The continuance of one party il
power is almost certain to lead to tn,
adoption of methods of doing public bust
ness which inure rather to the benefit o
the ofiice-holding class than Of the people
even where there are no fragrant cases o
corruption.

The mineral wealth of China is beyond
human calculation. Coal, iron, copper,
tin, lead, silver and gold are abundant.
1t is estimated that one productive or
available coal field of China, without
a flaw or Texture, accessible by means Of
coal galleries, amounts to $1,000 square
miles; and that the entire coal beds OF
China exceed 400, 900 square niles, or
twenty times more than the aggregate
area of all the coal fields in Europe, one
half Of which is in Great Britain. Along.
side of these enormous coal beds in Chins
are iron ores in great abundance.

Professor Boil announced several years
ago that the retina Of the eye retained
the last impressions made on it previous
to death, and recommended that is cases
of murder, the victims eyes be promptly
examined with powerful glass, or pho
tographed by the use of strong lenses, by
which means he thought picture Of the
murderer might frequently be obtained.
DIR. Ayers has just finished a series Of
experiments, in which he examined over
a thousand eyes of animals and persons,
but failed to find a single impression on
them that could be constructed into the
last object beheld. The nearest approach
was by photographing the eye OF rabbit
that had been paralyzed by atrophine,
but that was too imperfect to be of any
use whatever.-[Chicago Herald.

A dispatch from Tucarora announces
very rich strike being made last Satur-
day in the p. and p. Con. that sutrivals
any discovery ever made in Tuscarora.
A short time ago an ore seam was dis
covered on the surface that lead to the
conclusion that an extension of the ore
body existed deeper down. In order to
determine this fact drift was projected
from shaft 60 feet from the surface in
the direction of the surface indications,
This level had reached distance of Az
or as feet, when an ore body was en-
countered following the hanging wall. A
cross. cut was started to determine the
width of the find. The cross-cut is in
six feet. and no wall is reached yet.
The ledge is widening rapidly, and gives
promise of being the heaviest ore body
ever discovered in this district. The en-
tire gangue, as far as opened, gives an
average assay of $500 per ton. A chlo-
ride seam, l2 inches wide, following the
foot.wall gives return OF 1858. II per
ton. There is now fully $40, 900 in sight,
and only IS hours work done on the find.
Fifteen thousand dollars was offered yes
terday for third interest, which was re-
fused. 1t is fortune to those interested,

A RArTLrssAKE WITH LEGs.-El Do.
RADIO county comes to the front with the
first snake story Of the season. That
county is noted among other things, Tor
the bad quality Of it's whiskey sold and
the multitude of rattlesnakes that dwell
in its rocky hills. Some time ago stage
driver named Watson made bet that on
a trip between Placervlle and Straw
berry valley he would kill twenty-five.
Many were to be seen summing themselves
in the road, 50 the Jehu easily kept his
word, and won the bet, taking in the
rattles from thirty snakes But the
latest is the strangest of all. In letter
from Clarksville, Judge Tong, the Nasty
of that village, relates the following told
to him by one "who never told lie, y
and whose veracity is undoubted in this
city where he has acquaintance: James
P. Miller, good reliable citizen, who
saws he has several witnesses to prove
the truth of his statement, tells me that
he has killed a most remarkable rattle
snake. On March l6, while going from
Deer valley to his home on the Sweet
water, he trod on the tail of a snake.
He was not trying to get up night,
either. However, the reptile accepted
the seeming challenge and delivered a
heavy blow on the leg of his enemy.
The thickness of boot.leather saved the
friends of Miller from attending funeral
Miller then killed the snake, and upon
examination found that it had two legs
about six inches from the end of the tail.
They were about two inches long. The
feet were of an oblong shape, each with
six toes. The snake was four feet in
length, and had several rattles remaining,
though Miller tramped off several when
he first stepped upon the snake. "-lSacra,

A far Western mining town where men
largely predominant in number over
women is as full OF masculine tittle-tattle
as is the far Eastern village where four
fifths Of the population are women. The
location of this gossip and scandal is sim
ply changed from the tea table to the
saloon, the grocery or other male loung-
ing place. Find half dozen men with
their heads together talking in low tones
and the chances are that the topic Of con-
versation involves a woman and concerns
her reputation. The advent of woman
to such place to whom attaches any
notoriety is an event. No effort can
spare her or her friends and family a
great deal of annoyance. There is nc
hiding place among the multitude in such
place as in the great city. She must
be speedily known wherever she goes
She will be most suggestiyely stared al
whenever she ventures out, and the
undercurrent of masculine chatter con
corning her will never cease to run.-lN
