GOLD FOUND IN
MADEIRA COUNTY,
Paying Ore Discovered at
the Base of Quartz
Mountain.
LUCK OF A FRESNOITE.
He Brings Back Specimens That
Assay From $50 to 5000
to the Ton.
A LEDGE OF FREE GOLD.
Mines in the Vicinity Had Been
Worked and Yielded Fortunes
in Former Years.

FRESNO, CAL, Feb. 22.-D. H. Long, a
weil-known mining man, returned here
from Quartz Mountain this forenoon with
samples of gold bearing decomposed
quartz which, owing to its almost unparal-
eled richness in free gold, have caused
great excitement among mining men and
prospectors who have seen Mr.. Long,
specimens. The find was made at the base
OF the mountain, where, in former years,
much wealth has been realized. Several
mills were formerly busy in the locality.
The Abbott mine. near this find, yielded q
great fortune to its owner.
Assays of Longs specimens of por-
phyry and quartz run from $50 to $500 in
fine gold. The walls of this gold bearing
quartz are of porphyry and slate.
The grounds had been worked formerly
but owing to the exceeding tineness of the
gold did not pay because of the inability
of operators to save the dust. The quick
silver process readily unites this dust
which shows the greatness of the find.
The ledge is near the old Hildreth min.
ing camp in MADEIRA County, about thirty
five miles northeast OF the city.

presence of my wife of ber true character
To the best OF my recollection have never
seen her but once since November, 1894,
until Mrs. Cooper brought her in on her
arm the night before last.
Attorney John NJ. Creighton came to
me with proposition from Mrs. Stockton
though he was unaware of the facts at
that time. l politely but promptly
handed him his hat and told him never
to put his foot inside my door again. The
next night Mr.. Creighton came to me and
apologlzed for the part he had played. He
assured me that he was not till then aware
"a MIS-. Stockton s character and inten-
tons, and that he had accepted the mis-
sion practically blind-folded. All this 1
can prove.
Mrs. Stockton was introduced to Mrs.
cooper oy rich man who was paying
handsome sum to the kindergarten schools.
Ihe former secured position as teacher
on TINS man, recomm mendation, and she
was retained in the local schools as long az
possible. When decency no longer admit
ted OF Mrs. Stockton remaining in the kim
dergarten work here Mrs. Cooper secured
her position in Port Angeles Why she
dld not remain there has already been
told.
Mrs. Stockton refuses to fix dates. If
she had done so | could have shown by
my reference book that I was either at
home, at some parshioner's or by the side
OF some sicE-bed. Her scheme would have
taken me away from my dinner six or
seven times, hence my wife must of neces-
slty have known of it.
at is my invariable rule to go home
with my wife after church service"
Judge-Advocate Woodlands is busy pre-
pairing evidence to be presented to the
council next Tuesday. Miss Cooper, it is
understood, will be a witness, and she
promises to throw some light on the
mysterious disappearance of Mrs. Tunnel.
Mrs. Baddin is also likely to be brought
before the council, though this is by no
means certain as yet. She is said to be in
the City under an assumed name.
Witnesses will be brought forward to
confirm the story of Mrs. Stockton. They
are expected 10 prove that she and DR..
Brown were ut the places named. The
pastor will insist that Mrs. Lena Blan-
chard be placed on the stand for further
cross-examination. 1t is hoped to weaken
her testimony by her own admissions.
Mrs. Blanchard stated to a CALL reporter
Immediately after the dramatic scene in
the council-room that if she had been
properly coached. as she ticipated. moth
ing OF the character referred to would have
happened.
Professor Lloyd will occupy the pulpit
OF the First Congregational Church to-
day.

RETISIONS or THE TARIFF.
If AUosced They Viii StCamp the Hous,
Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 22.-Ding-
ley of Maine, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, on being asked to-day
what the effect would be of opening up
the House tariff bill to an amendment in
creasing the duty on wool beyond the
figure on the bill as it stands, said that he
agreed with the Senate Republicans that
any material amendment in one direction
would invariably invite hundreds of other
amendments and thus practically open UP
the whole question Of tariff revision and
swamp the measure at once. The Senate
Republicans caucus took the ground that
the only way to get any bill to the Presi-
dent to increase the revenue is for the
Senate to pass substantially the House
tariff bill, which continues only for two
years, and he agreed with this view.
