the market considerably oversold. There

afternoon. This was followed by heavy
selling pressure, the commission houses
cutting a figure as sellers, with the
local brokers also holding bearish re-

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET,

NEW YORK, Oct. 24-The downward
movement in stocks continued to day
upon a decided increase in the volume OF
business. A feature of the dealings was
liquidation on a fairly large scale by
actual holders Of securities who have be-
come dissatisfied on account OF the pr
longed reactionary tendency OF the gc%-
eral list. The strength of the exchange
market attracted untavorable attention.
Trading was brisk at the opening, with
prices somewhat irregular. General
weakness was soon displayed, although
the losses scored did not reach full
figures.
A feeble rally followed about noon,
but was soon succeeded by another slump
which was practically uninterrupted up
+ the last hour.
Sugar was notably unsteady within a
range of about per cent, and made a
net loss for the day of 3 8 per cent.
Speculation left off quiet but steady at
the rallies, and finally prices showed gen
eral net losses, in most instances frac
tionaL TIE increased animation in the
stock speculation did not extend to the
bond market, the dealings being bat

toward a lower level, did not reveal any

man with hard common sense to see and
take advantage OF neglected opportunities.
This rule holds good with regard to Jack
son Gate. David Gutman of San Fran
cisco some time ago began wondering if
there wasn't some fire where there was so
much smoke" and determined to invsti-
gate. His connection with the Alma mine
and other enterprises deferred him for
while, but finally he got around to it, and
went to work in practical way to find out
if this mountain of quartz carried gold.
He reasoned correctly that if there were
even 9 very small percentage of gold in the
mass the experience of all mining on the
mother lode would afford just grounds for
expecting it to improve in depth, and the
probability of a great mine of low-grade
ore would seem justified. Tointensify this
probability there was the certainty OF what
had come to pass on the same ledge only
a mile distant in the leila mine, which
has been paying regular dividends for
years. The superficial explorations and
tests already made by Mr.. Gutmann seem
to point with strong probability to another
leila mine at Jackson within the twelve
month.
Mr.. Gutmann's first tests were ingenious,
practical and effective. He put man to
drilling holes in the big groupings, saved
the powdered quartz from the drill holes,
panned and spooned it and got good pros
poets in fine gold. Then he secured the
property at nominal sum. He started a
tunnel to crosscut the big ledge and ran in
136 feet, so feet in ledge matter, with no
hanging wall in sight. Mr.. Gutmann
claims that this entire crosscut of 80 feet is

QUEER ENSENADA JUSTICE
SEYMOUR JACKSON TO SERVE A
LONG TERM IN A MEXICAN
PRISON.
FOUND GUILTY OF THE FAMOUS
GOLD BAR THEFT, THOUGH
ALLOWED No DEFENSE.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Oct. 22.-Word was
received to-day from Ensenada that the
case against Seymour Jackson, the cashier
of the private bank of Godbe & Co., had
been taken up, and that Jackson had been
sentenced to six years and nine months
imprisonment and to pay fine of 81, OH AZ
or to serve 100 days additional.
Jackson was charged with robbng the
bank of $1,000 in gold on the night of March
20. On the same night robbers entered
the shipping-house of Nj. Riveroll, and,
opening safe by the combination, secured
gold bar valued at S12 800. The safe at
the bank was also opened by means of the
com bination.
Allan Pratt, clerk for Riyeroll, and J.
E. CARAT, young Canadian, who was at
Ensenada at the ime, are in Jail awaiting
trial for the theft of the gold bar, and
Jackson has been out on bail to await trial
for the other robbery.
There was never anything secured to in
dicate that he was guilty; the only circum.
stance upon which he could have heen
held was the fact that the safe was opened
by the ombination, and therefore by some
person acquainted with the premises. No
evidence, however, so far as known, has
ever been secured against Pratt and Gar
raft.
The heavy sentence imposed upon Jack
son caused great surprise at Ensenada, as
1t was expected that even If he were found
technically guilty the sentence would not
be heavy. Ex-Judge Pedro Rendon made
strong defense for jackson, without
avail.
Jackson was committed to JAIL where he
will remain, unless the sentence is re-
versed on the appeal which was imme-
diately taken to the Supreme Court of
Justice:a at the City.of Mexico. 1t is not
expected that decision will be rendered
by that tribunal for many months to come,
but the people of Ensenada are strong in
the belief that Jackson will be finally re-
leased.
1t was reported some weeks ago that the
prospects were favorable for the speedy re-
lease of CARAT, whose friends are infiuen-
tial and have been working hard in Mexico
and London. Nothing further has been
heard about his case. however, and he oc-
cupied cell near Pratt, whose chances of
| trial or release are even less encouraging.
| Nothing has ever been learned of the big
| gold bar and the case is as mysterious as
ever.

striking thing in quartz so far seen in
Amador is Jackson Gate. These groupings
are on the leila ledge, and are the largest
and most picturesque of any so far en-
countered on the mother lode. They have
been eroded and a channel cut through
in centuries past by Jackson Creek, and
along the bank OF this shallow stream a
road now runs through the pass thus
created to the historic old town of Jackson

ent, and whose reputation is too well estab-
lished to need commentator. Probably
there is no other shaft along the lode
where the same amount of work has been
done in as good manner for less money.
Mr.. Gutmann is already figuring on a
millsite and is mbitious to have the big
gest quartz mill in California. Should he
probe a vein of even So rock at the 400
level his hopes may be easily realized.
The groupings where the sinking is being
done are hundred feet wide, and across
Jackson Creek the whole hill is quartz,
probably for width of three hundred feet.
If there is a permanent vein anything like
this at depth 1000-stamp mill would be
about the right scale to begin with. I'm
limited water-power can be obtained from
the Blue Lakes Water Company's ditch,
which flows 800 feet above the millsite, but
short distance away.
The Jackson Gate mine is directly east
of the Kennedy, about 500 yards distant
and at 100 feet less elevation. 1t is in the
townsite and mining district of Jackson,
and comprises sixty acres of land and 300
feet in length on the lode. Jackson Creek,
flowing through it, has been mined for
placer gold since 40. There is perennial
stream flowing from an everlasting spring,
part of which is diverted to supply the
town of Jackson with water.
The Jackson Gate is an incorporated
company, having 1000 shares of the par
value of SIS per share. The principal office
of the company is in San Francisco and it's
officers and shareholders are San Francisco
business men. F. c. Siebe is president, II.

NO HOPE FOR WILLARD,
He ARRIVED AT LOS ANGELES IN
A SCARCELY CONSCIOUS
CONDITION.
PHYSICIANS CAN GIVE No ENCOUR-
AGEMENT TO THE WIFE OF
THE INVALID.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 22.-Lieuten-
ant-Governor Willard arrived here this
morning in scarcely conscious condition.
He was attended en- route by DR.. Gundrum
of Sacramento, who held forth no hope
for his recovery.
Owing to the Governors house having
been leased and the lessee refusing
to deliver it up without handsome con-
sideration the patient was taken to the
Locke House, where he has been resting
easily to-day.
The consumption of the lungs from
which the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS has been
suffering has extended to the intestines,
and DR.. Davidson, his family physician.
who is now attending him, says there is
absolutely no hope for his recovery.
Mrs. Willard has stood the strain of the
long trip remarkably well and is bearing
up nobly.
A. Mo perceptible change has taken
place in Lieutenant-Governor Millard S
condition since his arrival at the Locke
House. At this hour he is resting easily
under the influence of opiates. The doc
tor has left him for the night, and no i'm
mediate change is anticipated.

up to their very feet; and of the thousands
who have passed by few have paused to
contemplate the beauty and grandeur of
these moss-covered sentinels to the earth's
great treasure vaults, and none have
fingered to test them by practical work.
Their magnitude has saved them from
vandalism, and their very conspicuousness
has seemed to breed contempt.
California is full of these strange anoma-
lies. Golden opportunities that lie at
mems doors are neglected and desperate
ventures und ertaken that, even with the
happies tfruition, are insignificant by COM
parison.
