MINING NEWS.

1 George McCann is reported to have sold to II. Routzham and Wm. o. Gil- ky his interest in the Big Bug onyx quarries for S24, 900.
 Henry Murphy is reported to have made rich strike in the Poland mine, Big Bug district. The ore is said to run four or five ounces gold per ton.
 A party of Tucson miners will leave in a day or two to prospect the coal fields in the San Carlos country. It is said that some of the finest coal in the west is to befound in that section; but no one can mine it till the powers that be at Washington give their con- sent.
 The Henrietta mine, in Yavapai county has been closed down on ac- count of legal complications between the owners. The mine was paying handsomely, employing many men, and the shut down is looked on as a hardship which could have been avoided.
 Not mining man comes in from Orc Blanco but has a pleasant word for that district. All say that Orc Bfanco is rapidly coming to the front as the richest gold district in the ter ritory. More reduction plants are be- ing put in and rich ore in abundance is heinz taken out. Those engaged in placering are making good wages.
 Yavapai county is experiencing one of the steadiest and healthiest mining booms she ever had. There is no mad rush from all quarters. of men who expect to pick up nuggets on the sur face, but there is steady increase of men who have money and are erecting mills all through the country to work the ore that has laid exposed for years Old mines are being started up and new ones developed. Old Ya- vapai has gold and silver enough to pay the national debt if it is taken out.
 The new mill at Mir. Charles Mills X Co.'S. mine at Carbonera, Sonora, is reported as working finely and turn ing out the yellow metal in gratify- ing quantities. The mill is oi twenty tons daily capacity of the Huntington pattern. The mine is very fine one, and has been worked many years the old workings being still found. In those workings tho use of lime for blasting, instead of powder, has left unmistakable traces. The property was formerly known as the "Cerro del Gro"
 Mr. Potts, who has the manage ment of the !. D. Walker estate, has been at the Nekol for the past three weeks, endeayorng to dispose of aA stock CT goods which has been in storea there since the closing of the mine. He will also take samples of 5000 tons of ore on the dump, and of all thetail- ings. Should they prove satisfactory, concentrators and q cyanide process will soon be in operation on the prop erty. The Vekol has, in the past, enjoyed almost as great celebrity as the famous Silver King. Should sil- yer ever reach reasonable. price again, the Vekol will prove one of the leading properties in the territory.

PARDON SLOW IN COMING.

An Eloping Couple Pray for the For
giveness of the Brides Parents.
SAN Francisco, April 26.-Pretty Ethel
Mabel Ruth, who lives with her parents
at the Langham Hotel, ran away and
married Joel G.. Cohn because her mother
objected to the match.
The young couple met at San Jose on
Monday by appointment, and had civil
marriage ceremony performed by Justice
Dwyer. They dreamed away few days
OF welded bliss at the Vendome Hotel,
San Joser and came back to this city to-
day to receive maternal forgiveness and
blessing. But the sought-tor pardon is
slow III coming. Mrs. Cohn's mother,
who is the wife of John A. Walker, a
Fresno capitalist, is a proud, dignified
woman, OF pronounced character and de-
termination. She cherished her daugh-
ter,who is as talented as she is pretty, and
had opinions OF her own as to the qualiti-
cations of the person worthy OF the hand
and heart OF Miss Ethel.
Mamma has not spoken to me since
l came back" said Mrs. Cohen, "but I
am in hopes she will become reconciled
before long. She was very much op-
posed to my marrying Mr.. Cohen, and [
just had to run away, don't you know;
but Jack is on my side, and will help
me, won't you Jack ?'' and the bride
looked longingly into her big brotner's $
face.

Contractors Refuse to Furnish F1r-
ther Supplies to Institutions.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-The Super-
intendent Of the Almshouse has reported
to the Finance Committee that the cattle
and horses at that institution are hungry
and without feed. There is but three
days supply of flour on hand, and at the
end OF that time the inmates will cry for
bread. The contractors have given no.
tice that they will supply no moro flour
or forage because there is no money in
the City Treasury to pay for those sup
plies.
a report from the Fire Commissioners
says that they had been notified bv the
contractors that coal and forage supplies
will be cut of from the fire department
on the 3Oth inst, for tho same reason.
After that date, unless some means OF re-
lief Is provided, the horses which draw
the engines Will be without food, thero
Will be no coal with which to fire up the
engines and the city Will be at the mercy
OF any contiagratIou that may be started
Otner departments announce similar
condition Of affairs, and unless some
means are provided to bridge over the
emergency patients in hospitals will be-
left without food and medicine, and the
prisoners in the iails viii have to be set
free, because there will be nothing left for
them to eat. So great is the stringency,
that it was announced that there is no
money III the treasury to pay counsel to
present the case OF the city TO the Supreme
Court.

will not contain any recession from what

LAND SWINDLERS.
a Gang at Work Again In Sonoma
County.

II OdHS at w NOfh <ASdlu IN SOnOnSi
County.
SANTA Rosa, April 26.-From a num-
ber Of deeds and mortgages filed at the
Hall of Records here This week it appears
that the land swindlers who operated in
Sonoma County quite extensively a few
years ago have started in again. Their
plan is to dispose of uncertain interest in
one OF the old ranches and take a mort
gage on it for security of payment. The
mortgage is then recorded and the gang
proceeds to trade the mortgage to inno-
cent parties for their property. A num-
Der of SOnOma County farmers have
been swindled out of their property and
one man from Oakland lost his home
and all his money. In nearly every case
the mortgages have been on uncertain
interests in Rancho Roblar and papers
filed here this week show that an at
tempt is being made to work the same
old game again.
