 A Prescott reporter was recently shown gold hespangled piece Of ore from below the water level in the Nc Cabe mine. A local assayer mournful- ly remarked that such ore as that was ruinous to the assay business, as all could see it's worth, and that such ore was alarmingly plentiful thereabout'.
 The main shaft of the Congress mine is now down to a depth of ,500 feet and fine body of ore is exposed at that depth. This is as deep as they can sink with the present hoist. The old shaft will be sunk to an equal depth when the two will be connect ed by drift when they will have enough ground opened upto keep them at work until the present hoist is worn out.

INADEQUATE PUNISHMENT.
The EIbe Disaster Calls Attention To Short

The EIbe Disaster Calls Attention To Short
comings OF the Law.
One Of the lessons of the awful Elbe
disaster il the utter inadequacy Of the
punishment provided by law for the
crime which caused the loss Of nearly
400 lives, for the violation Of the inter
national steering and sailing rogula-
tions ON the part Of the commander Of
tho Crathie was nothing less than n
crime.
The direction in which the two ships
were sailing makes il clear beyond dis
pute that the Crathie had the Elbe on
her starboard side. and, according 10 the
plain and explicit provisions Of tho nav
igation rules, il was the duty OF the
Crathio to keep clear, TO stop or to re-
verse her engines or pass astern OF the
Elbe BY the same rules twas the duty
Of the Elbo To keep her course, as she
did. And yet the possible loss OF his
masters certificate is the only punish.
ment which can be melted out 10 the
four hundredfold homicide, by whose
criminal default the unfortunate crew
and passengers of the Elbe Were consign-
ed to death amid unimaginable and in
describable horrors Here is certainly
case for an international understanding
and for the extension Of the jurisdiction
Of tho admiralty courts Of maritime ma
tions. Philadelphia Record.
