to the house of ill-iame. Mrs.
Smith charged Inspector BurIeigh
with being in league with the in
telligence offices and knowing their
abominable business. She submit
ted fifty written statements (several
sworn) OF women being sent as

out as servants, seamstresses, etc,

THE PROSPECT WELL.
A Continued Public Interest
Manifested.

| People who come up from SaT
Francisco all speak OF the great in
terest manifested down there ovel
the result OF boring the prospect
well to ascertain what is to be
found in the ledge recently discov-
cred North of this city. The well
is now down nearly 200 feet, and
the borers hard at work. The
slowest progress made was on We'd
nesday, when they encountered a
very tough cement formation, and
it was with the greatest difficulty
that the pipe could be driven down.
Several times the drill stuck fast
and delayed the work. They only
made nine feet during the day. In
that time there was not ten min
utes that visitors were not there
watching the boring.
Several ladies drove out in
rockaway and filled their handker-
chiefs with sand from the well,
which they took away to have as
sayed, not knowing that it was
worthless.
The cement stratum was passed
through about 4 o'clock, and since
then the formation has been
tough yellow clay. The locating
and jumping of claims still goes on.
The boys have caught the fever, and
scores Of young kids 60 out and SOL
EMMY locate granite lodges and
slate groupings, and jump old
claims, never seeming to realize
that the acts of anyone under Fl
are null and void.

To Change the Time of Re.
locating.

Free Press: We understand that
Senator Stewart Is about to intro
duce a bill changing the time of relo-
eating claims, from the first of Jan
uary to the first of July of each
year. This is an excellent move,
and one that will be duly appreci
ated by thousands of prospectors al
over the Coast. As the law now
stands a prospector takes his lie in
his hands almost every time ne goes
to relocate claim, especially dur
ing New Year day like the last
one Most of the claims are found
on high mountain ranges, and when
they are covered with deep snow
and the thermometer 40 to so de-
grees below zero, it is kind of risky
business.

Was 2Ec Poisoned?

On Monday last, w. d. Gray,
an old and respected citizen OF
Genoa, narrowly escaped being
poisoned.
Hehas blacksmith-shop on Main
street, and had a cup of water on
the shelf near the door of the shop.
He had been working for some time,
and stopped to take a drink OF
water. TIE water tasted bitter,
and upon examining it he found
crystals, not yet dissolved, in the
bottom OF the cup. Drs. Williams
and Young examined the water, and
pronounced the crystals strychnine.
Quite a lot of strychnine was found
OH the edge of the cup.
A warrant has been issued for the
arrest OF Zach Field, Mr.. Gray's
son-;n-law, who is strongly suspected
of being the wouldbe poIsoner.
He has been acting strangely for
some time, and a strong case can be
made against him. Fields wife is
school at Fairview, Douglas
county, and it is thought Field has
gone there. He left town about
noon and tie Sheriff is still after
him.
