Mining IntelIiEenee.

Some time since the JOURNAL MiNER made mention of the pur- chase of the Emporia, formerly the ''ll0' mine, on Groom creek, by w. A. Storts, H. H. Reyes and A. B. Demary, and of the further fact that while working the property under lease and bond, they had taken out the entire purchase price of the property in ore. The mine continues to keep up its record, as Mir. Storts to-day brought in bar of gold bullion valued at S550, which was extracted from twenty tons of ore and run at Clark X Adams mill, which they have leased. This bar of bullion represents just sixteen days work for the three men, as during that time they took the ore from the mine, hauled it to the mill, cut the wood for making the mill run and run the ore through the mill. The shaft on the mine is down to a depth of l10 feet and two drifts have been run from the shaft. one fifty feet Tn a southerly direction | and one twenty feet All the open ings are in ore, as thera Is not a break in 1t the entire distance that it has been worked. The ore in the narrowest place is two feet wide, while in places it widens out to eight feet. Surface ore taken from this property went as high as S70 per ton, but for some reason or other the claim was permitted to lie idle for anumber of years. The ore body from which the above was taken was elght feet wide, and as the result obtained by the mill run was an average of S27.5O per ton, it will be seen that the property has not lost any of its producing quail ties with depth.

JONES' BOX WAS roo SMALL

Remember, that if the populist party had acted IF good faith for the obtaining of the free coinage of silver, they would never have placed such an obstruction as Mir. Watson in the way. Their objections to NIT. Sewall were most trivial, compared to the great injury they have done to the free silver cause by not en- dorsing him as they did his fellow nominee, Mir. Bryan. In the nomina- tion of Watson, the maleyolent hand of Hanna is plain to be seen. " Courier.
 Our contemporary must have an exceptionally short memory, or else thinks its readers have. Mark Hanna did not go near that populist con Ven:ion. but, on the contrary, Chair man Jones, of the democratic na tional committee, was there in per son, and, according to J. Q. White, delegate to that convention from Arizona, MT. Jones brought his argument, whereby he secured Brysn's nomination, there in a box. The box was probably not big enough to compass the nomination of Sswall.

Charles R. Drake, one of the best known of all pioneer Arizouaus, commemorated the twenty fifth an- niversary of his arrival in Tucson by extending numerous invitations to friends all over the territory to au old time Mexican dinner and an in- terchsnge of "reminiscences. The event was set for last night, and we regret sincerely cur inability to be present. In the early history of the ancient and honorable pueblo" du- ring the dark days when such hardy and intrepid pioneers ventured to it and had the nerve to camp there in the face of even peril, like MT. Drake and others did, there clusters around the scenes of the event of last night naturally that degree of interest in this day of freedom and security to Americans everywhere in the territory, that IS of more than ordinary concern in the line of pioneer doings along the Santa Cruz. May Mir Drake live on and prosper and measure his fcture like he does his fidelity to the city he has known SO long and % well.
 The convention of national demo crats will meet at Indianapolis to- morrow, (Tuesdsy, September l.) for the purpose of nominAtiHs presi- dent and vice presiaeat. It is claimed that every state, with the exception of three or four western states, will be represented. HenIy Watterson, General Bragg, Villas and others arc being named for the first position.
 In an interview at Nashville, In diana, Mrs. Esry E. Lease is quoted as saying that she has abandoned all idea of entering the ministry; that she has espoused socialism as the coming and correct form of govern ment and that she will stump the states of New York and Pennsyl- vAnis for Bryan.
 A telegram from Washington says that Cardinal Satolli has received word from Rome that his successor, Father Sebastian Aartinelli, will arrive in Washington on or about September 20.
 When democratic stump speakers attempt. as they have repeatedly done of late, to make it appear tha this campaign IS 6 fight between employers snd those who are em- ployed, they are playing with fire, as well as misrepresenting facts.
 Instead of being swallowed, the populists seem to be about to swal- low what is left of the democratic party.

A correspondent of the Los An geles Times, writing from AmAdor, California, says: There are seven forty-stamp gold quartz mills here, running day and night on dividend paying ore. These mills are not over one mile apart; two of them arc within four or five blocks of the postoffice and not an idle man in town. The names of the mills are the Kennedy, 40 stamp; South Flu reks, 40 stamp; MAhonA, 40 stamp; Wileman. 40 stamp; Spring Hill, 40 stamp; Keystone, 40 stamp, and Bunker Hill, 40 stamp; and yet with all these mills, this mining district is yet in its infancy, and there are yet undeyeloped mines here that would yield millions if men with capital would take the time and see for themselves, or what is better, send their experts. There is another forty-stamp mIll that 1 have not named, the "Lilez,' and five e-stamp mill. Yet with all this ponderous amount of machinery pounding out the precious metal, there are hun dreds of mines here, and in sight, just ss good as any that are paying large dividends. The Kennedy alone, in the past three years, has paid right along kl000O0 a year. The water power here is immense, all the machinery being run with it. l visited to-day the great reservoir from which We get our supply. It is 500 feet above the level of the town, and it is supplied from the waters Of the great Blue Lakes in Placer county, eighty miles from the town. Near the reservoir, on the hill, are the hoisting works of the Central, from the office door of which you can see capital of the state, Sscra- me4to, Stockton and also, between them, Mt. Diablo. This section, in addition to being the richest mining country in the world, is also 6 good farming region, all the hay and grain used being raised right here. The hills are rich not only for mineral, but with with wild oats and burr clover clear to the tops and in the brush from which you can get as good beef cattle and as cheap as from any of the markets of the state.

LETTER or ACCEPT
 ANCE-

Major Mckinley. on Wednesday, August 26, issued his letter of ac- ceptance. It is quite a voluminous document, and deals st great length with the silver question, in which he gives his views as to the result of the free and unlimited coinage of tEe white metal. He closes his ar gument on the question ss follow S:
 Until an international agreement is had, II is the plain duty of the United States to maintain the gold standard. It is the recognized and sole standard of the great commer- cial nations of the world, with which We trade more largely than any other. Eighty-four per cent of our foreign trade for the fiscal year 1895 was with gold standard countries and our trade with other countries was settled on gold basis
 He touches on very many other issues which are of the greatest importance to the American people, and considers the declaration of the democratic and peoples parties for unlimited, irredeemable paper mon ey as the most serious menace to our financial standing and credit that could be conceived, and appeals to every patriotic citizen to prompt ly meet and defeat 1t. He condemns, as in the highest degree reprehensi- bie, all efforts to array class against class" classes against the masses, section against section, labor against capital, the poor against the rich, or interest against interest.
 He considers protection as an issue of supreme importance, and observes that while the peril of free silver Is a menace to be feared" We are already experiencing the effects of partial free trade. The one he would avert and the other correct. He recommends immediate restora- ton by congress of the reciprocity sections of the tariff law of 1890, with such amendments, if any, as time and experience sanction as wise and proper The underlying priu- ciple of this legislation, he declares, should be strictly observed. This, be explains, is to afford new markets for the surplus agricultural and manufactured products without loss to the American labOrer of a single days work that be might otherwise procure" He discusses foreign i'm migration briefly. but forcibly. He comments legislation that will pre- vent the coming here of all who make war upon our institutions or profit by publi, quiet and turmoil. He favors liberal pensions for the soldiers and sailors.

EXCITING SCENE IN A COURT.
Defendant i'm Case Tries to Shoot
the Complaining Witness.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The Yorkville
Police Court had lively quarter hour
this afternoon. Samuel, Dreyfus was
before Magistrate Wentworth on a
charge of asaulting Mrs Caroline Mar
Gus. While the man stood before the
rail in front Of the Magistrates bench.
Mrs. Marcus was facing Dreyfus. Drey-
fus in sudden rage drew pistol from
his pocket and aimed ii directly at the
woman. Roundsman Griffin was stand
ing close beside Dreyfus. He quickly
clutched the revolver and threw Drey-
fus' hand upward, and all the other
court officers rushed upon the prisoner
and overpowered him. Even the Mag
iStrate took hand in the melee Drey-
fus was standing against the desk and
Magistrate Wentworth reached across
and clutched Dreyfus by the throat and
hung on until Griffin had wrested the
revolver from his hand. Mrs. Marcus
screamed and had Mysteries for three
minutes. When the officers searched
Dreyfus they found under his shirt a
dangerous Turkish knife
A complaint was returned against
him of assault with attempt to kill, and
he was held under 81 900 bail for trial.

Application for Certificate of InCOrpO-

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Judge Prior
in the Department Court to-day, de-
cided the application of the Agudath
Kakeloth, a Hebrew organization Of
New York, for certificate of incorpor-
alton.
In refusing the certificate, Judge
Prior says: In the certificate sub
mitted to me I observe that the annual
meeting of the proposed corporation is
appointed to be held on each and every
second Sunday of January Of each and
every year. 1t is not religious cor
poration, and its annual meetings are
for the performance of precisely such
secular business as is transacted by
other civil corporations. The question
is not whether such meetings are Illegal
but whether they should be approved.
The act intended is an aggression upon
the Christian Sabbath, and the law,
which scrupulOusiy protects them i'll
their observances of their creed, gives
them no license to affront the religious
SuSceptibilities of others

CRIME IN KENTUCKY.
The List the Past Week a Long and
Bloody One.

LOUISVILLE CKy), Dec. 26.-Ken-
tucky's crime list this week is long and
bloody. In addition to the seven lynch
ings for the week, the past orty-eight
hours have been enlivened with the fol-
lowing deeds of violence:
AT Cynthia, Thursday night, John
Howe, colored, aged 10, fatally wound
ed Policeman Charles Tracey On the
Big Elkhorn, near the Virginia line,
Tom Edelson stabbed Bud Stein to
Death. Charles Ewalt, a prominent
white man, killed Harry Foster, coll
ored, at dance in Boone County last
night A logman named Swift was mur-
dered in Christmas row at a logging
camp near Pineville. Alexander Small
killed Joe Boyers at a Christmas feS-
tival near Cynthiana. At frolic in
Breathitt County four men We're killed
and one mortally wounded ToHgate
raiders celebrated Christmas by chop
ping down the gate near MortonSVille
ir Woodford County. This is the second
time this gate has been destroyed. Bill
Marrow amused himself shooting the
candles off the Christmas tree at Kav-
anaugh Chapel, in Lawrence County,
and when George Pack demonstrated
Marrow shot him in the abdomen and
escaped on horseback. Joe Robertson
elected John and George Rexroat from
Christmas tree celebration at Column
bla, and they returned and shot him in
the abdomen, inflicting probably fatal
wounds

A Union Miner Shot and Killed bv a
Non-Union Workman-Mili-

LEADVILLE (Col.). Dec. 26-Patrick
Carney, a union miner, returning with
his wife from a Christmas festival at
$50 this morning, was shot dead at his
doorstep by four Missouri non-union
miners The four men were arrested
The story told by the prisoners differs
ehulreiy from the statement made by
Mrs. carney. ed. Evans, the man who
did the shooting, states that he tried
three times to get past Carney. and
each time Carnew threaened him with
arrest. Mrs. Carney attracted by the
conversation between the men, came to
the door and said. My husband is
drunk: pay no attention to him. Car
ney insisted that he was not drunk. and
started toward Evans, gun in hand.
when Evans fired
All of the four men who were present
when the shooting occurred tell sub
stantially the same story. They also
state that the story told by Mrs. Car
Eey that she and her husband were
just returning from a party is not true,
and that Carney was lying in wait for
them. and that his wife, hearing the
conversation between her husband and
the miners came to the door and tried
TO get her husband inte the house.
No weapon was found on Carney. The
Coroner's inquest will be held next
Tuesday.
The presence here tonight of the
troops is all that prevents serious trou-
BILE. There have been great many ru-
mors afloat this afternoon, but the pres
erce of the militia, it is believed, will
prevent any disturbance

BOSTON sTREET-CAR STRIKE.
But Few of the Old Men Will be Re-
tained i'm Their Places.

BOSTON. Dec. 26.-Cars We're run
ling without interruption on all lines
of the West End-street Railway too day.
Many Of the cars were run by new men.
however on some, OF the divisions all
of the strikers were given to understand
that they would have to be rehired in
order TO get the opportunity of taking
out cars. while on other divisions the
old men were allowed to take out their
cars If they presented themselves at the
carhouses on time.
But Ii was apparent that the company
intends 10 get rid of the men who We're
most active in the strike. Some were
not allowed to take out cars at all.
while those who ran out on their regu-
lar trips early in the day We're replaced
fl many instances by new men later.
The new men were given different
badges from those worn by the old men,
and this was regarded as an indication
that the company would replace most
OF the strikers with new men as soon
as convenient.
There is a good de3l of bitter feeling
among the men against the leaders Of
the union Some Of them feel that the
council had 5ungled she whole matter
So badly that il amounted to virtual
betrayal of the union into the hands of
the company. and upon some of the
divisions tn feeling was particularly
bitter against President Young. who
has been at the head of the council. one
of the DISCHARGED leaders said that the
union was practically dead.
