RAYMOND BLACK LEDGE WINE. But
comparatively slight progress was made
this week in draining the Black Ledge
winze at the Raymond mine. By tank.
ing and pumping, the water was steadily
gained upon, and three days ago depth
of about 100 feet was attained, passing
the 18th station and emptying the drifts
there, when, early Thursday morning. the
new steel cable. used in operating the
tank, parted, and the tank was lost down
the winze. During Thursday and part
of Friday the small pump alone was re.
lied upon, but though worked to its
fullest capacity it failed to hold the wat
er down, and forced retreat of about
10 feet. The water coming in is thought
to be largely seepage from the ledge. 1t
is believed that the small pump now in
use will prove capable Of handling the
water when once the Wine and ledge are
drained. A new tank was hastily built
and yesterday tanking was resumed.
The upraise from the 18th level ON the
Black Ledge has progressed ITO feet.
The character of ore having steadily
changed. From black base ore it has
turned to a yellow or brown free ore,
containing no sulphur or zinc and but
little lead. The ore averages 100 or. in
silver per ton. The winze at this point
is #. wide and the walls of the ledge
are not found on either side.

Animal Intelligence.

Recently Mexican sheep.herder for
the Pietras, near Ventura, CAL, laid the
following extraordinary wager with one
of his employees: He bet his shepard
dog and years work against 500 that
the dog would stay on the ranch alone,
unattended by any human being, for
FIVE days; that the animal would take
the sheep to pasture in the morning and
bring them to corral at night; and in
fact look out for the sheep in every way
as well as a man could. The bet was
taken, and the Mexican, first hanging
up plenty of meat for the dog to eat,
gave his instructions to his dumb assist
ant and left the ranch and went to
town. The dog performed everything
as his master claimed he would and won
the wager for his master. The dog is
ten years old and was born in Montana.
The Gridley Cali Herald says: While
grubbing stumps on the Hatch & Rock
tract, six miles northeast of this city, a
few days since, the workmen dug up the
skeleton of human being, the feet of
which were chained together with iron
shackles. Although extensive inquiries
have been made. no information giving a
clew to lthe circumstances has been OBJ
tanned. It is thought by some of the
old-timers that the cadaver was that of a
stage robber who escaped from Jail in the
early days and was afterwards killed and
buried by his accomplices, who got away
with the whole Doodle.
-
The verdict of trial juries in Ekc
leads the Independent to ask: 'If the
supposed killing of human being, which
is denied by the defendants and which
was witnessed by no one, warrants ver-
dict Of murder:in the first degree, by what
course Of reasoning does the killing of .
human being, which is acknowledged by
the defendant and which was witnessed
by several persons, justify verdict Of
murder in the second degree?
