have been advanced so as to improve the
chances of adjournment this week. 1t Is rare
thing tor the work of the session to be so
far behind that the fiscal year begins be-

passed. The Joint resolution adopted on
Monday tides over the difficulty for five days.

of the last fiscal year. Not since 1877 has there
been similar emergency. Then 1t was due 20
like inefflciency on the part of the Democratic
majority in the House. They fIittered away
the regular session of that year in trying to re-
peal the Resumption act and pass the SILVER
bill. An extra session had to be called to get
through the appropriation bills. Three months
of the present session were wasted by the
House before any business of Importance was
transacted Then everything was subordi-
mated to an attempt to tinker the tariff IL the
Democrats had succeeded in that effort the re-
suit would have been similar to that when

He Game to Grief.

1t will be remembered that at the
Gage train robbery, our townsman Tom
Hodgkins was the messenger Of Wells,
Fargo 4 Co., and had several shots sent
into the car before he surrendered alone
to six men armed with Winchester rifles.
One Of these rascals was Kit Foy, who
was heard to say at the time of the rob-
berry that after killing the engineer he
was "sorry they didn't kill the little
cuss who was Wells Fargo's messenger
The story of their attempted escape and
the killing of part Of them is fresh in the
minds of the readers of the HERALD.
Yesterday Mr.. Hodgkins favored us
with copy of the South~est Sentinel of
Silver City, of March 22d, which shows
what happened to the man that regretted
that he didn't "kill the little cuss:"
About noon, yesterday, Z. Smith,
Sterling Ashly and Mike Mcclure, stand
ing about 200 yards above Slayback's s
ranch on the Upper Gila, noticed man
moving along through the weeds further
up the river, and noticed also that he
was evidently anxious to avoid obserta-
ton. Upon catching sight Of the man
he dropped into the weeds. Concluding
this could be no other than Kit Joy, the
three walked in the direction he was
hid, passing within about 30 feet, and
locating him perfectly; he. in the mean
time, as he afterwards stated, not think
ing they had seen him. Smith and his
companions then went off and arming
themselves with long range guns. de.
manded his surrender. Kit had his shot
gun but his captors being out of range,
he was in a dilemma. However, he
broke and run for the brush, and was
shot at but missed. Then he stopped
for some reason, when a shot from Smith
broke his left leg, below the knee. He
then surrendered.
According to previous agreement a
courier was at once sent in to notify
Tom Hall and the latter went out about
IL o'clock last night to meet the party
coming in with the prisoner. He was
brought in, and is now safely lodged in
jail. His leg is badly shattered and will
be amputated below the knee, this morn.

A Dangerous Accident.

AS the Pico House coach was going to
meet the train on Sunday afternoon,
when making a sharp turn across the
zanja on Bath street the king bolt gave
way and the coach was upset, throwing
the colored porter, John Kemp, who
was standing on the boot, violently on
to the ground with such force as to
break his left thigh. Pete Smith, the
driver, was badly bruised and lay in an
unconscious state for some time. Frank
Carpenter, who sat on the drivers seat
with Smith, was not seriously injured
and took the horses back to the stable
The passengers were only slightly bruised
but badly scared. A purse has been
made up for the benefit of Jack Kemp,
who was taken to the Moiso House,
where he bears his sufferings with much
fortitude. Doctor Joseph Kurtz set the
broken limb and the sufferer is doing as
well as could be expected -.I.raer the
painful nature Of his injuries.

Important Movement.

The necessary machinery and all other
appliances for establishing sampling
works at Daggett station, have been
secured at an expense Of $4,000. The
proprietors, Messrs. John P. Arey and L.
F. Olmstead, of Los Angeles, will be pre-
pared with the best Of nssayers to sample
and test ores of all kinds, silver, copper,
gold, tin, nickel, iron, lead, etc., and
purchase the same at its true value, TAX
ing upon themselves the risk of transpor.
tation and reduction at San Francisco,
Pueblo or Denver.
This will be Of great advantage to the
miners of moderate means, or no means
at all, to have market for their ores at
home as soon as they are mined. Thou
sands Of miners have no capital but their
muscle and intelligence, and could not
think of erecting smelters or quartz mills
of their own, but they can extract ore
and plenty Of it, if they can get the cash
for it as soon as it is mined. This de-
sideratum will be supplied by these
sampling works, and must result in great
prosperity to the miners of the Mo
jave region.
The machinery is now being set up for
this important establishment and in q
short time will be in active operation.
This is an important movement, that
will be of great advantage to the mining
interest, which is one of vast Importance
to this city. But to make this new in
stitutiom of greater and more permanent
advantage to the city of Los Angeles it
is necessary to establish reduction works
in Los Angeles and reduce the ore Of
these sampling works into bullion. The
sampling works at Daggett will have as
sorted ores on hand all the time, and q
mill and smelter in this city could have
constant supply of graded ore to re.
duce at a good profit to the stock.
holders.
AT present the ores from Daggett are
largely sent to Pueblo, Colorado, for re.
duction, distance of about 1900 miles,
while they eould be reduced in Los An,
geles just as well, at freight of less
than 200 miles. This great opening fol
business should not be lost sight Of. II
will not cost much to put up ten
stamp mill and n thirty.ton smelter in
Los Angeles. They can both be made in
the city and the makers might be in
duced to take part of their pay in stock
OF the reduction company. The estab
lishment of these sampling works in
sures a supply for such mill and smell
ter with any amount of ore for an age te
| come.
No time shoxld be lost in putting NJ
a mill and smelter. The supply of orr
is enormous and could not be exhausted
for century. Such an establishment,
would be a source of permanent business
for twelve months in the year. While
cannery of fruit would be employed
three months in the year, a quartz mil
would have business for all the month
in the calendar
