and patience are the requirements OF this
business. but once the mines are opened
and wei developed. the foundation is one
upon which solid and substantial pros
perity can be built.
Some encouragement has resulted from
the prevalence OF a notion that mining
was a lottery. There is no business en-
gagged in by man that is not possessed OF
the elements OF chance. Mining is as
legitimate as any other business; il is
only the ignorance and credulity OF blind
investors that make it a means of fraud.
While special mention has been made OF
the Slate creek district, IL is not to the
disparagement OF other promising min
ing sections OF the state that are tribu-
tary to Seattle. and from which this city
will derive great benefit In the future.

An Alleged MisGt Coffin.

The jury which has been listening to
the very unique and extraordinary tes-
timOny in the case of Miss Minnie
Heincke against Undertaken Kohlermann,
of Lawrenceburg, Ind. returned a verdict

INDECENT young woman, Will have to pay
the expenses of the court trial. together
with attorneys fees, and the amount
will run up to more than she has earned
as a seamstress within the past year.
II was a very singular case, the Ike OF
which was never docketed before in the
civil courts of this country.

female friends. She expressed a desire
TO see her fathers face. and the sexton,
being Of an accommodating spirit, open
ed the vault. A female companion OF
Miss Heinckes saw the face before the
daughter did, and pulled her away before
her eyes had the chance 10 rest upon the
corpse. That was on February I'd. the
rumOr soon became nOised about that
the body had been deposited in a coffin
far too small for the man. The under
taker was consulted. and he went out TO
see for himself. Sure enough. the nose
touched the glass covering. He told the
children OF Heincke that he would change
the coffin, and ne kept his word. the
transfer being made few days following.
Subsequently, the body was Inferred.
\ few days afterward the undertaken
was startled upon being served with a
notice that suit had been filed by the
