that a genuine burglar would snap his

than a dog that might be poisoned, or
an alarm which might have no oppor-

room is the only one barricade in this
manner, but defy the housebreaker to
get in there. Every night roll my

According to the engineers of the

Gulf of Mexico is one foot higher than
it was in 1859, and, of course, the en-
GRO. .chmcnt on the surrounding coasts
has been greater or less, pending on
their character. In some places, says
the st. Louis Republic, where the mar
ginal lands arc composed of high, rocky
bluffs, this change Of level has gone on
from year to year without attracting
attention. On the other hand many
low-lying points (somc that were once
inhabited by the primitive inhabitants,
or by the pioneer white scttlcrs). arc
entirely submerged. The cause of this
change of level has not as yet been
asecrtaincd, but it is reasonably Ger
tain that it Is the result of either set
tling of the dry land or of n general
and uniform rising or uphcaval in the
gulf bed. No man who has given the
matter n moments thought will argue
now than there was thirty-fve years
ago; on the contrary, there isn't the
least doubt but that there is much less

THREATENED WITH DEATH
An Italian Editor Receives an ANONYMOUS
Letter
Promising Him q Dagger Stab in the Back-A
Rival Editor Arrested
for Il

The troubles of the Italian colony in
Los Angeles, which led the other day to
the arrest of Signor Ugo Paladini, editor
of the Eco della Colonia, for libeling
James Castruccio, the Main street grocer,
are still increasing.
Signor Paladini after he was released
from arrest, received through the mails a
letter of the following tenor:
Dear Paladini: If your Eco della Co.
lonia keeps on attacking Mobile and
Castruccio we will remove you from this
world with good dagger thrust IN the
back, you coward. n. n.
The handwriting. which was not dis
guised. struck Paladini as familiar. and
he hunted up some of the letters OF his
acquaintances to compare the lettering.
Among the papers was the envelope If
letter adressed him by A.A. Mobile, edi-
tor Of small Italian weekly called La
Vespa-The Wasp. The writing was so
absolutely similar to that Of the threaten
ing mlssive that he had no doubt but that
it had been forwared TO him by his
adopted by others and by Deputy District
Attorney McComas, who drew up COM
plant against Mobile to put him under
a peace bond because of threats to kill or
DO serious bodily harm.
Justice Young issued warrant for
Mobiles arrest. He was. found in his
Office in the Clinton block, Upper Main
street. .
Signor Paladini considers the anony-
nous letter conveying the threat as very
serious. He says that such thing as a
stab in the back is nothing new among
men of. his country. and that it might
easily happen that on some DARK night
some one might slip up behind him and
stick stiletto between his ribs.
Mr.. Mobile was placed under $500

A rumor is in circulation TO the effect
that John st. CHARLES has struck a two
foot streak of ore in the extension of til
Samoan mine that runs about 1000
ounces IN silver and several hundred dol
lars in gold. The strike was made in the
tunnel on which Mr.. st. Charles has bcei
at work for several months past.
DR.. Martin Hammond has discovered a
,e about two miles west OF Browns
ranch house. Float from this ledge was
picked up years ago. but despite the fact
that it has been hunted for years it was
not found until Hammond stumbled upon
it. The ore is rich chloride. carrying a
great deal of free gold. The strike Is con-
sidered an important one.
The Kineman sampler this week re.
ceived the following lots Of ores: :Charles
from the Prince Albert mine: A. J. Coon,
one con from Mineral Park; ]. W. Ger
ritt, three and one-half tons from the
Buckeye mine; John Brady. two tons
from the Prince Albert Joe Marinas,

of the ore from a depth of sixty feet, the
bottom of the shaft, assayed $43.37.
The ledge of the Hickory Jim is nine
feet wide. between well.defined walls OF
sates and the prospect is considered by
mining men to be the best thing found
for long time. The owners are othusi-
astic over the outlook and place high
value on the property. They will lmme-
diately proceed to develop it. The mine
is one and half miles from J. G. Cortel-
you's mine, where five-stamp mill is a,
work.
w. w. Kirkham of Nevada City has had
a crushing made of fourteen tons of rock
from his new mine. 1t paid $l6.36 per ton
after all the best specimens had been
picked out, SO that the owner received
$229.29. Mr.. Kirkham is certainly lucky.
His ledge is now three feet wide, and
there is every indication that it will make
a good mine. Since his first big strike

Work is being pushed night and day
with force of nine men employed at
the Ether e. Van Vactor mine on Beaver

Taylor e. Sadler are doing considerable
work opening up claim on Beaver

Hungry creek.
John Lewis of Mount Reuben is re-
ported on good authority to have struck a
700 feet below his old works. This ought
to satisfy the unpelievers in the contin-
uity of depth. 1t is certainly an import
ant strike. Mr.. Lewis we'll deserves such
good fortune. Pass Observer.
Ore is being taken out steadily at the
Ashland NINE now and teams are haul
ing it to the mill in town. which is run.
ming night and day. The ore is being
taken from what is known as the Dead
man claim, which is said to be showing
up nicely.
Charles h oper reports from the coal
mine near Siskiyou. He says that tun-
mel has been run in for 800 feet on the
vein now, and further work will not be
continued for time at least.
A Jacksonville correspondent says that
the Downey Bros. have struck it on their
Althouse placers and are now getting out
$50 per day:to the man.
z; A. Moody is keeping the Huntington
mill, at the 40 diggings below Ashland,
running steadily now, on ore from the
Golden Fleece.
From B. r. kingsbury. who was over
from Cottonwood mining district this
week. it is learned that Messrs. Mullen Il

urday at the Spencer mine, near Henley,
and piping will continue As long as water

ger than month hence.
report from Union says: Last Thurs
day night large cave took place on
Sturgil bar, where Captain Robinett was
in charge of the nozzle, nd an examina-
tion showed nuggets of all shapes and
sizes. The workmen quickly picked up
$14. 900 in gold in dinner pals. and many
more thousands OF dollars are III sight.
Every body in this section is now looking
for high bars and coarse gold channels on
Snake river, and the most intense excite.
ment prevails among the prospectors.
There have been rumors circulated lately
that the Staples e. Van Vactor or Sterling
mine on Hungry creek, which made such
an unfortunate failure two years ago, was
to be redeemed and its extensive debts
paid off, though it has been traced t.
nothing further than rumor. The prop

is advertised to be sold by the Siskiyou
county sheriff May 18th, on Judgment
