employment and encourage them in bnsi-
ness; TO establish sick and general fund

REDDISG, Gala, june 17.-That one of
the peaks of Mount Shasta has disap-
peared was noticeable from Redding yes
terday. Its absence from view created
considerable comment and anxiety. The
top appears to have been cut short off and
fallen into the crater below Those
depths have never been penetrated by the
human eye. tits thought that the absence
of this old land mark may indicate further
demonstrations of a volcanic nature Fire
has been long known to exist in the crater,
and the lava formation of valleys and
ridges below gives rise to the question,
"May not the convulsion Of ages past be
repeated" That the top has gone is beyond
question.

At midnight last night the smoke and
gas from the right shaft poured up the
main exit, and after trials almost beyond
human endurance the rescuing party
gave up all hopes of ever recovering their
comrades, bodies from that entrance and
turned their attention to the Ferguson
mine, one and n half miles away. They
are now striving to penetrate from that
mine, but the flame and smoke balk every
effort. The universal and unwilling YER
dict from the old miners about the shaft
is that the entombed men have either been
killed outright by the explosion, or later
by suffocation

The latter seems to be the more proba-

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER as
STANFORD AND MURPHY.

For once in his career Leland
Stanford has encountered a very
determined man.
Patrick Murphy, who was once
a California State Senator. and
for many years a newspaper writer,
was again nominated by the peo-
pie OF his district as reward for
the conscientious, honest work he
had performed for them. ars 50
He was beaten in his district by
a man named Maloney, and he
has gone into court charging that
said Maloney's election was the
result of large sums OF money
spent by Leland Stanford, a, can
didate for U. s.. Senator.
Judge Finn has granted his Pc
tition in which he asks that he be
allowed to produce Leland STAN
ford in court and perpetuate his
testimony.
The allegations made by Mr..
Murphy concerning Senator Stan
ford's connection with the election
are virtually the same as those
made in his late petition before
Judge Wallace, viz, that Leland
Stanford and his agents and en-
ploves were guilty Of not only
stuffing the precinct registers and
the ballot boxes, but of also buy
ing votes.
The APPEAL does not believe
that Mr.. Stanford will ever appear
in Court, and if he does he will
not answer the questions put to
him.
Once before he was in q tight
place of this kind, and when asked
directly If he had net bribed men,
bers Of the Legislature, he refused
LIZ 6uS w q, cSAd ~ u6L1C0 L 1S1Q QC-
cided that he need not.
It will be the same thing over
again, but IL he again takes refuge
behind Field or any other Judge,
1t will kill whatever chances he
may have had for a place ON the
Presidential ticket.
No one WHO knows Mr.. Murphy
will ever charge him with having
any desire to extort money from
Stanford. He merely wants to
show the people Of California
something Of the man who secures
political honors by nefarious
methods.
Stanford will find Murphy a
very live man in a fight Of this
kind. a

Quite number of Elmore's tax
payers have been in town this week
and declared that they would not
pay their taxes to collector in
Rocky Bar, that not being the
county seat, and the collector not
having his office at the county
seat as the law requires. That the
commissioners would find the
affairs of the county is such a
predicament as this, if they per-
sisted in neglecting their duty, we
pointed out some time ago. They
can not compel taxpayerers to pay

for ornamentation, and could be |
used as headquarters for citizens
