Rich STRIKE At COOPER.
MAIN LEAD ON THE CROESUS UN-
COVERED YESTERDAY
MORNING.
At n Depth Of 800 Feet an Immense
Body Of Ore. Supposed to Be the
Long Looked for Lead. Is Brought
to Light-Over Six Feet Wide and
May Be Double That.

Word was brought in at an early
hour this morning of a big strike in the
tunnel Of the Croesus at Cooper Hill.
In short. it is reported that the main
lead has at last been uncovered and
should this be true it will prove the
biggest find ever made in this country.
The good news was brought in by a
man named Patten who has been work
ing on the regular shift at the mine. He
reports that at s O'Clock yesterday
morning a shot was put in which I'M
covered an immense body of the ore
which the owners have been 50 dill
gently seeking for. All day yesterday
the men worked like beavers trying to
ascertain just how big the strike is.
Last night they had penetrated the
vein to the depth of six feet and II
showed no symptoms of "petering out
Supt. Van Ben.husen believes the ore
body is Is or 20 feet in width, ant
while this. of course. cannot be deter
mined until it is penetrated, the fac
remains thai there is already enough
in sight to make the mine a big win
Ter.
The strike was made at a depth O
300 feet from the surface. the unn
now being in about SIS feet. Mr.. Wes'
of lthe company today said that a six
foot vein was good enough for him ant
would soon result in the Croesus be,
coming a big producer.
The value of the ore cannot now be
estimated but it is known that it will
run big from past experiences. Severa,
weeks & the miners struck an 1S-incf
streak which assayed beyond expecta'
ton. Since then tunneling has been
industriously pursued into the very
heart of the mountain with the result
thai che main lead has at last been
reached, at a distance of 270 feet deeper
into the hill. Cooper mountain is 2.10C
feet in breadth so it will be seen thai
the tunnel on the Croesus is in about
a quarter of that distance.
The value Of the new strike will de-
termine the future of the camp,becaust
the same mineral indications found ir
the Croesus extend completely arount

Calhoun, Ca. Feb. ga great commo-
tion was created to-day by an old colored
woman who lives on the Bowden place.
below town. She said that her daughter
disappeared from home two or three
months ago, leaving her baby, and had
not been seen since.
A boy, while drawing water from a wen
on the place this afternoon. brought up
in the bucket a piece of flannel which was
recognized as a piece of garment worn
by the daughter the day she disappeared.
The sheriff sent a posse out TO invests
gate the matter.
The posse found the body of girl in
the well. supposed TO be the remains Of

negress

the belief with many was that owing to
a certain condition she had gotten in since
being in his employ. Bowden had either
sent her out of the country or had muir
dered her. The parents OF the girl es-
pecially believed this, and repeatedly ex-
pressed the belief that Bowden had MUIR
dered their daughter. SO strongly did
they believe this that in Bowdens alb
sence they attempted to drag the well.
Part of the posse that went out to
search returned tonight at o'clock. AS
predicted by the grief stricken negro the
body was found in the well, but was left
there, pending the corOner's inquiry.
AT the time Coroner Frank Smith and
two or three others appeared on the
scene, Frank Bowden, with pistol in
groes away from the well. Coroner Smith
ordered the negroes to hold Bowden, and
then walking up he placed his hand on
Bowden's arm and called for assistance
to take him to Calhoun. Bowden told
Smith that he would not go with the ne
groes, but would go with him, providing
he would go his way. The coroner as
sented and they both started for Calhoun
through the bottoms, Bowden with pis-
tol still in his hand, and the coroner un-
armed. That is the last seen of either OF
them. The distance from the bottoms 70

READY TO REBEL.
A Fiery Speech on the School Fight
in Manitobn's Legislature.

Winnipeg, Man, Feb. 27.-There was an
exciting debate in the Manitoba legisla-
ture at an early hour this morning when
Attorney General Sifton's motion protest
ing against contemplated federal interfer-
ence in Manitoba school matters was car
ried by vote of 81 to z. The result of
the vote was great victory for Premier
Greeenway as he had only expected twen-
ty-nine supporters on the vote.
Maj. Mulvey made warm speech in
support of Manitoba's position. He said
he had been brought up in schools where
children of all religious denominations at
tended, and this was one reason why he
was a firm believer in national schools.
All great reform were not made without
some violation of the constitution and as
an instance he mentioned the abolition of
slavery in the United States.
'"rhe dominion government is trying to
take away our rights and privileges and
the rights of our children. We must enter
a solemn protest against the remedial
measures under this measure to coerce
Manitoba. Officers of the law or of the
government If they do not enforce the
bylaw if it is passed are fined and sent
to jail" He believed that II such should
result almost every member of the House
would see that there was a general jail

were never in such danger as at present.
He had taken up his gun four times to
suppress domestic troubles. He was pre-
pared to take it up for the fifth time in
the interest of the liberties of Manitoba.

Maj Mulvey, threatening rebellion and

BALTIMORE AND OHIO TO PAY.
The RumOr That the Road Would
Default on March L Denied.

New York, Feb. 27.-The following state
ment, which is official, was given out late
to-day: There is no truth in the rumor
that the Baltimore and Ohio will default
on March 1. The negotiations for the col
lateral trust loan intended to take care
of the floating debt and to provide new
capital for the needs of the company, have
progressed very favorably up to the pres
ent point, and neither the members of
the syndicate nor the company see any
reason why the same should not be com
pleted on a satisfactory basis.
THE rumors in regard to the expert ac-
countant, Mr. Little's, report are unfound-
ed, as Se merely confirms the statements
made by the report of the company $ ac-
counting officers as of Feb. /, 1896 Mr..
Little's examination confirming that re-
port both as to amount of indebtedness
and as to the earnings of the property.
The alarming statements, therefore, as
to this report, are untrue. as they show
nothing as to the floating debt and net and
gross income, which has already been
ficers. Mr.. Little's examination was in
tended for the purpose Of satisfying the
syndicate as to the correctness of these
accounts of Feb. ], 1885,
The foregoing statement was supple
mented within an hour by the following
"President ]. K. Cowen of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company states that
so far from there being foundations for
the averse report made in New York to-
day in regard to Baltimore and Ohio af-
fairs the facts are that the experts have
finished their examination and find the
conditions as reported to the board of d.
rectors, that the securities in hand against
the floating debt are ample and the plan
for the rehabilitation of the property has
progressed so far as to meet with the a1,-
proYal of the directors, and will be ready
for announcement in very short time"
Baltimore, Feb. GA receivership for
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
is the absorbing topic in leading club cir
cles here tonight. One of the best inform
ed financiers in the city went so far as to
predict that John X. Cowen, the president
of the company, would be named as re-
ceiver within forty-eight hours, possibly
tomorrow
The official statement sent out from New
York to-day to the effect that there was
no reason to believe that Mr.. Littie's re-
port would be unfavorable, and which Is
understood here as having come from
President Cowen, who is now in New
York, had no effect toward checking the
receivership gossip. A well known stock
exchange member asserted that even the
Garrett interests is divided on the ques-
tion of a receivership, one branch being in
favor of immediate action, while the other
side contend that the step can be averted.
Those favoring the appointment of a re-
ceiYer argue that 1t would be beneficial.
inasmuch as a reorganization seems iney-
liable.
