placer mines. In fact, Messrs. Matktl
and Ritter declare, the whole noun
tain indicates the richest deposit OIL
these metals ever discovered. Mr.
Matkin, who has had considerable ex
perience in mining in the far west, dis
covered the gold quartz on this noun
tain. He had some of it. which was
obtained from near the surface, as
sayed, aud it showed about $3.50 in the
three metals to the ton. Mr.. Matkin,
however, says that this was from speci-
mems broken off here aud there, and
of course was much richer than the
average run. They have only gone to
a depth of about ten feet. but say that
the mine is undoubtedly rich in the
precious metals and that the vein runs
clear through the mountain. If their
sanguine expectations are realized,
they ought to maze big fortune out
of their discovery"

Another turn in that travesty upon
justice, designated 1.-the Wear Case"
was taken at Poplar Bluff on tthe 18th
inst. We copy from the Citizen:
Pursuant to adjournment, Judge Ri
ley of the 2Sth Judicial district took
the bench here on Monday, the 18th,
to try Charley Wear. The public is
familiar with the transactions had in
this case. Since Judge Riley was first
here, when Wear was committed to
prison, he (Wear) was taken out ON a
writ of habeas corpus before Special
Judge T. HI. Mauldin. and for the same
reasons as were presented at the Dunk
lin county trial, again discharged from
custody. The case was called Monday
by Judge Riley, the defendant was not
present, and at the instance of Assist
ant Attorney General Jordan defend
ant was called by the sheriff the usual
three calls. Sheriff Hogg, when asked
why the defendant was not in custody,
produced the order of court, made by
Judge Mauldin. discharging defendant
from his custody. Attorney Jordan,
for the State, made few remarks in
reference to the action taken by Judge
Mauldin. and branded it as ridiculous
and absurd. Judge Dining. of De
Soto, then addressed the court as an
anaicus curig, in which he held that as
this indictment was for the same Of
tense as the first, that according to the
Supreme Court decisions there seemed
to be no question about the jurisdic-
ton of Judge Mauldin. Judge Riley
held that the question of jurisdiction,
or any other question affecting the de-
PENDANT, could not be adjudlcated in
the absence of defendant, as the charge
was for felony, and the defendant
must be in court in person. a capias
was ordered issued, directed to Sheriff
Hogg, for the arrest of defendant, and
an alias capias to the sheriff of New
Madrid county. The case was contin-
ued, and set for the goth of January,
