 Why should not an Indian Of -ha Apache order be moved by instinct and foresee a hard winter? By nature these mountain Indians are more like beasts than human beings. They lived before the whites came upon what grew spontaneous, did not cultivate land, were always at war with each other and I am told that they ire quently passed cold winter With little food and would get hungry and many of the old and young would die; the bear, the coon, the groundhog and many other animals sleep for four or five months each winter. Although human in form, the Indians are more like the beasts in habit. Why should they not foresee a cold winter? The beasts, snakes and lizards in fact all of the sleepers have .burrowed up. The birds that migrate south in the fall have all flown and none were to be seen the first of November. According to Indian prophecy the mercury will drop before Christmas in Los Angeles and Phoenix to zero or not below 10 above. We will wait and see what happens and if To has made false prophecy we will not listen to his prophecy again.

The author of ''The Children of the Desert" assumes the pleasure of an- nouncing to the public and to Phoenix in particular, that his issue of verses are on the market for sale at 30 cents a copy. It might not be out of place to openly declare that these poems would probably not have been issued had it not been for the kind words spoken to the author by a learned lady in California. She assured him that they were stars set in pearls to gem the future poesy of our country. Capt. Sullivan of the staff of the San Fran cisco Chronicle also admired the art less efforts so much that he frankly stated that the poem of Despair" alone was sufficient to make the work famous. The little bound volume of poems may be found on sale at all the stationery stores. Why not send your mother, brothers, sisters and cousins (don't for

A RARE BIRD.
One of the Curiosities of the Territorial
 Insane Asylum.

Out at the insane asylum is a curi- Osity in natural history, a tame gan- der. It has one especial love, a harm less semi-idiotic patient who does much work on the grounds. From his exit from the house in the morning till very bed time, the great gander, re- markedly handsome bird, keeps at his heels, and the two occasionally com mune together as though of common language. On occasions when the pa tient has been kept within, his feather ed companion is disconsolate, wander ing around the asylum and grounds in quest of him.
 Not less singular than this affection for one man is the gander's aversion for another. A Chinaman, usually en- ployed in the laundry, may not ap- proach the fowl, which on sight makes the most savage attack on him, and with full ability to do bodily harm. The Chinaman is in almost constant fear of the gander, which, however, manifests only indifference to the other members of the great household.
 As a pure and wholesome stimu- lant, for medicinal or family use, nothing equals the famous old Jessie Moore whisky, which is endorsed as the best by all who have used it. Moore, Hunt & Co.,, 404 Front street, San Francisco, sole agents for the Pa

had to testify that the returns on the ore
should have been 80 per cent of the car
sample assays.
The witnesses who were examined YES
terday and testified that Tangerman' s
reputation was bad were Judge p. s. Cor
bett. who was United States Marshal of
Nevada under Arthur's administration and
is now a justice of the peace of Storey
County; Judge w. s. Cook, Judge L. Lo-
bernstein; II. Nj. Clemmons, superintend-
ent OF the Virginia City and Gold Hill
water works; E. d. Knight, w. ]. Hill, F.
P. Langan and Goth Hast.
d. NJ. Ryan, who stated that he was a
merchant in Virginia City, County Treas
both there and in this City, testified that
Tangerman had not purchased any Hale e.
Norcross stock through his firm in the
years ;8S7-1S89 inclusive.
The rest of the afternoon was taken up
with the reading of dispositions of A. J.
Taylor, owner of the Taylor mill in Lower
Gold Hill, and w. H. Stanley, who had
been mining on the Comstock over twenty
years.
Taylor testified that car sample assays
were unreliable and that he never agreed
to work ore up to certain percentage. He
had tried it once on some Justice ore, and
had been compelled to pay out consider
able for the difference between the actual
bullion returns and what had been agreed
upon from the assays.
He explained that the manner of taking
car samples for ASSAYS on the Comstock was
entirely unreliable and that they were use
less as guides to the amount of the prob
able bullion return.
w. H. Stanleys also testified that taking
car-sample assays as that is done on the
Comstock is not fair way of finding the
value of the ore. The men who take the
samples generally pick up the finer rock,
and it is we'll known that the richer rock
is more friable than the poorer Conse-
quently the samples taken yielded ASSAY
results that were higher than they should
be-.
He said that he always refused to mill
any custom ore now unless the owners are
present all the time. so that they could

colding to his opinion 81 per cent, the re-
turn made by the Hale & Norcross Com
pany, which is complained of as too small,
was q fair return on the car-sample ASSAYS
in many cases, particularly where the ore
was coarse.
A mill return of 70 per cent he thought.
on Comstock ore would be big return.
and so per cent of the car-sample ASSAYS
would be good average yield.

The Supreme Courts Decision in Vim
cent Buckley's Peculiar Suit.
In the case of Vincent P. Buckley
against Giles H. Gray to recover the
amount he claimed he lost through the
negligence and carelessness of Gray the
Supreme Court has sustained the ruling
of the lower court in sustaining a de-
murrer to Buckley's complaint.
The complaint charged that on October
8, 1888, Gray was employed by Mrs. c. NJ.
A. Buckley, plaintiff s mother, to draw up
will by which all her property would be
left to her two sons, John P. and Vincent
P. Buckley, and nothing should go to the
children of her deceased son. Mrs. Buck
ley died in 1891, and it was then found
that the will had been drawn so effectively
that not only did the grandchildren in
herit, but Vincent Buckley, by being made
a witness to the will, was made to forfeit
all claim to the special provisions made
for him. In the meantime John P. Buck
ley had died, and the property was
equally divided between Buckley and his
brothers children, who were originally
slated for disinhertance. They secured
$4,000. and this amount Buckley sought
to recover from Gray.
The Supreme Court held that the whole
transaction of the drawing up OF the will
was between Mrs. Buckley as client and
Gray as attorney, and no third party had

Judge Campbell presided in his court
room, in the basement OF the City Hall,

cases with his usual dispatch.
At the opening of the court the Judge
said:
For several days l have been in consultation

tiers in which to hold court. My efforts seem

A JUDGE A WITNESS.
Judge Coffey and His Bailiff Called to
Testify Before Judge SAM
dersOn.

Judge Coffey and Bailiff Finn, who
keeps order in his court, were witnesses in
the Waters case now being tried before
Judge Sanderson. The action is one to
break the will of Elizabeth Waters, the
plaintiffs being relatives of her husband,
who died before she did.
When her husband died he left an estate
valued at 100000. He left no will. and
Mrs. Waters declared he had no kinsiolk,
and sc his entire property was turned
over to her. During her administration
of her husbands affairs, which was done
under the judicial supervision of Judge
Coffey, she was declared incompetent and
removed from her position as executrix.
When she died it was found that she had
made a will distributing the property she
had inherited from her husband.
Then some relatives of Albert Waters
came on the scene. and now they are suing
to break Mrs. Waters will upon the
ground that she was of unsound mind
when she made it, and because she had no
right to part of the property she divided.
If they break the will they will brin g
another action to secure a share of Albert
Waters property.

able to give a satisfactory explanation,
was sent to Jail for twenty-four hours. He
was also ordered TO pay the $275 in ques-
ton to Shepard. He has not paid this,
and when it SO appeared to the court when
the case came up for hearing, Judge Slack
ordered him to JAIL there to remain until
the money would be paid.
Clarke no sooner felt the weight of the
courts decision than he started proceed
ings to be let out; these eliminated in the
afternoon with the filing, in the Supreme
Court. of an elaborate petition for writ
of habeas corpus. 1t dealt with every
phase of the case, from the time he was
forced into insolvency, and he endeavored
to Stow how each individual proceeding
was illegal and unjust. He was granted
writ, returnable tomorrow.

ELOPED WITH A TRAMP
Matte Jane Cole of DeIano and Her
Male Companion Found in
This City.


Chief Crowley received letter Tuesday
morning from Samuel Cole of Delano,
Kern County, asking him to find his
daughter, Matte Jane Cole, who had run
away with tramp on November %. and
was supposed to be in this City. Cole said
in his letter that he had written Secretary
Kane of the Pacific Coast Society for the
Suppression of Vice two or three week ks
ago, but had received no reply from him.
Detective Anthony and c. NJ. Barnes,
who was sworn in as policeman ON Mon
day, were detailed on the case, and in four
hours they had Matte and her lover
locked up in the City Prison. They found
them in the lodging-house, 712 Kearny
street, where they had been living since
coming to the City three weeks ago. A
dispatch was sent to the girls father mott
flying him of her arrest.
The girls companion is well known
along the water front, as he worked for
three years on the Stockton boats. He
was known as Jim Burke, but his real

THE NEW FERRY BUILDING,
Will It Be Built of Oregon,
Nevada or Arizona
Sandstone?
Harbor Commissioners Still in Doubt
as to Which Material to
Select.

The Harbor Commissioners did not ar
rive at any decision in regard to letting
the contract for the new ferry building
yesterday. The various bidders were pres
ent, but only six of them received any
ground for hope. All the others we're
handed back their certified checks and
told that their bids were too high.
Those who are left in are: George F.
Smith & Co., who offer to do the painting,
ETC., for $4,000; William Cronan, who Of
fers to do the roofing skylights and GAL
vanized iron work for $43,599; E. James
Duffy, who offers to do the plumbing and
gasfitting for $11, 123; Bateman Bros. who
offer to do the pla stering, glazing and car
penter work for $4S, 400; the Risdon Iron
Works. who offer to do the steel and iron
work for $188, 600, and G. +. Mccarthy, who
offers to do the masonry work for $751;. 900.
The whole matter will be settled at the
regular meeting of the Commissioners to-
day, and the chances are that the above
contracts will be awarded to the above six
lowest bidders.
"What we want" said President Col
non, ''is stability, quality and price. We
must have something that will stand the
test of time and we want the very best
article we can get for the price. We have
the choice of Nevada sandstone, Arizona
red sandstone and Oregon gray sandstone.
The latter is the more expensive article,
and 1 think we will decide to have, test
before we accept any of them. Between
the Nevada and Oregon article there is
difference of $12,0 900 in favor OF the former,
but do not think that would cut any
figure in the allotting of the contract if we
found the dearer article more durable and
more to our liking. Quality is what will
count, and the best material Will carry the
day."
The principal item over which the Com
missioners are troubling is the brick and
terra-cotta work and the masonry. Nc
Carthy was the lowest bidder on all points
On the brick and terra-cotta his bids on
the three classes were $167 600, $l73,0O
and $l6S, 900. On the masonry his offers
are Nevada sandstone $21S, 600, Arizona
red sandstone $4,000 and Oregon gray
sandstone $4,000. The entire contract
will be awarded this afternoon.

He Must Remain in Durance Until
He Pays 1915 to His
Creditors.

"Nobby" Clarke is again in Jail, as usual
for contempt of court, the cnarge this time
being based upon his refusal to pay $275 to
his creditors.
The $275 was secured by Clarke on the
sale of some personal property which was
under attachment for the benefit of his
creditors, and this money was never turned
over to Eli F. Shepard. who represents
Clarke's numerous creditors. He was
called into court to explain why he thus
