covered which Is a wonderful eubsti-
tute for gold. 1t consists Of 90 parts
OF copper to 6 parts of anthony. The

the two sneakipg out Of the mills with
boxes OF amnlgam On their shoulders.
The officers got quite interested until
they inquired how much amalgam

feet long and 10 feet wide. Tho depth
Of the boxes WINS unknown to Lynch,
but he was certain about the length
and width. Ho further stated that
Logan stole the amalgam and Hickey

Assessment work Not Suspended.

There having been considerable
speculation in this vicinity as to
whether the law passed by congress
.suspending assessment work applied
to this year Is well 1894, we repro
duce the following from tho Mining
and Scientific Press, which effectually
decides tho point:
an response to continued inquir
les it is again stated that there has
been no suspension Of the federal law
this year regarding the amount Of an
nual required assessment work on nn.
patented claims. There was in 90
and "a, but this year the 500 work or
improvement must be done. Nor is
there the slightest likelihood that the
congress which meets on the I'd Of

would be then too late i'll the year to

cable to 81 wide Nh area"

THE GRAND JURY.
Completed Its Word on Snturday-Small
Number of True Bills.

Number of True Bills.
The grand jury sat all Of last week
and completed its work on Saturday
noon. This grand jury had before 1t
hundreds of bills, a large majority of
which were ignored, either for lack of
evidence or on account of their trivial
character. The crimes for which true
bills were returned are murder, arson,
rape. burglary. felonious wounding,
disturbing religious meeting, cutting
timber, firing woods, cruelty, perjury,
discharging revolver, adultery, forni-
cation, sodomy, malicious mischief,
bawdy house, false prctense. aggra-
waited assault, larceny, embezzlement
and assault battery Only about sew
enty true bills We're found, by which
fully one half are cases of assault and
battery.
Among the ignored bills are the four
cases of libel brought by ex-Congress-
man Hines against Matt Long Alvin
Markle, Senator C. W. Kline and John
Mccarthy, all of Hazleton. The grand
jury will be very highly commended
for its action in so resolutely knocking
out so many trivial cases.
The case that is attracting most at
tention is that Of Fred Price, proprietor
of the Grand Central hotel, against
whom a true bill was found for main
tanning bawdy house. This is the
case in which Mayor Nichols has made
such vigorous fight against many OBJ
stacles. There is a good deal of SYM
pAthy for Price, although it is admitted
that he does not deserve 1t. If the
same evidence shall be produced at the
trial that was Brought out at the pre-
hminary hearing Price can scarcely
hope to escape conviction.
