ing elaborate preparations struck out

Stewards bill amending the mining
laws passed the Senate on the 10Th
inst. It amends the mining laws in
several technical matters. The most
important are changing the time when

formed before October LIST, 1895,
and reducing the usual amount to be

Report comes from Osceola that the
Cumberland and Osceola Gold Mining
Company's mill has been shut down
and that the cyanide process is any
thing but success. It was great
mistake-was like going it blind-to
put any faith in SO uncertain pro-
cess. The gold in Osceola is free and
the cyanide process only brightens it.
Had the rock been crushed finer and
afterward passed over plates success
would have been scored. Over $500
we understand has been washed out
of the tailings. The general opinion
seems to be that Crawford mill is
what Osceola stands badly in need of.
Fine bodies of rich gold rock are at
present exposed in the Company's
mines.
William G.. Cox, the young man
who was shot in the head by Ernest
Herting a week ago tonight says the
Enterprise of the 10th, died from the
effect of his wound at 2 o'clock this
morning. Since the shooting ARRAY
in which Cox received his mortal
wound, his many friends and the gen.
eral public of Virginia have taken a
deep interest in the singular case,
which for days held forth the hope
that the patient would recover. It
was thought up to last Thursday that
the young man had fair chance of
recovery, but on that day change
for the worse came over his condition.
He was taken with spasms, which in
creased in frequency, wasting the vi
tality of the sufferer until death came
to his relief this morning.
