A SAD STORY.
BROUGHT TO THE NOTICE OF THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
John Mcmillan Abandons His Sick
Wife and EIopes With n Dis
reputable Woman.

A sad story of criminal desertion
came to light yesterday when half
starved and archaeological girl
stepped into the county commissioners
office and pleaded for assistance for
her sick mamma.
A tour of investigation brought Com
missioner Geddes to house at 1854
North Third West, in which he found
a woman in the last stages of consump-
ton. The house Was rid of almost
every piece of furniture, and there was
not even a stove upon which the oc-
cupants might have cooked some food
had they been in possession Of such
necessaries. There were two children
a girl of and another aged II, both
scantiiy attired Then the story was
forthcoming.
The woman's husband, John McMil-
Ian, who for some time has employed
himself at hackdriving, has contrib
uted nothing to his family'S support
for more than a year past, 1t is al
legged. When the wife gradually had
to resign herself to the dreadful dis
ease that was slowly but surely short
ening her life, and was no longer able
to support him with such money as
she was able formerly to earn byA TAX
ing in washing, he no longer came
home regularly. 1t became whispered
about that he was laviShing whatever
affections he might have upon another
woman, and the truth of the wife's and
neighbors suspicious was confirmed
when the brutal husband elcped last
Wednesday with another woman.
But before going, he took every bit
of furniture that was in the house and
sold it to obtain money. He even
stripped the bed, upon which his wife
was lying in pain, of everything but
an old blanket and..a bare mattress
Not content with this, he secured what
money-amounting to only a few cents
it is true-she had earned, and took
his departure, leaving the woman and
his two little girls in the circumstances
described.
Their sad condition was first brought
to the notice of Mrs. Geddes, who DIT
once took such food as she had cooked
for her own family's dinner and
brought it over to the starving people.
A short time afterwards, the sick lady,
who is spoken of very highly by the
neighbors, was installed in two neat
rooms at IS North Second West. A
stove was procured, some chairs and a
table bought and comfortable bed
made UP for the consumptiVe. The
children are both bright and pretty.
The woman with whom Mcmillan
eloped belongs to the demi monde.
Among the hackdrivers he is known as
a worthless fellow, and his association
with the woman who accompanied him
was well known.

PACIFIC CABLE PROJECT.

LONDON. Oct 2S.-The Pacific cable
commission has been summoned to
meet on Nov. Q. The reported appoint
ment of third Canadian delegate
upon the committee has created a new
difficulty as at present there are only
two delegates each representing Great
Britain. Canada and Australia re-
spectively, and the additional Canadi-
an delegate will require the appoint
nent of another for Australia and a
third for Great Britain. In official
Canadian circles here, 1t is hoped that
the construction of the commission
will remain as before. 1t is believed
in the colonial Office that the commits
sion will finish its work before the end
of the wear.

The latest news from the Northern
Light mine, on Lion hill, in Ophir min
ing district. is of the most encouraging
nature, and it is now believed that
within the time specified the Northern
Light mill will be in operation and
turning out cyanides.
According to a letter received by the
company yesterday from Superinten-
dent Frank Hines, Lion hill now pre-
sents very active appearance, as
there are now almost as many men
al work on it's sides and summit as
are employed in the Mercur mine
and this is saying a great deal.
Work in the construction of the mill
is being pushed as rapidly as possible,
and already it begins to look as if it
would not be long before the structure
would be under cover, and as soon as
the machinery arrives there will be a
place to put it, and then, come storm
or rain, there will be no difficulty in
completing the plant.
Within the last few days, while
grading a road on the company
property, a fine vein Of ore was I'M
covered that carried values of from
S to so ounces in silver to the ton
This, coming unexpectedly, shows
what a fine surface indication there IS
on the hill; yet nothing is needed to
add to the value of the property, as
in the lower workings of the mine
there are immense bodies of gold ore
exposed all ready for the mill as soon
as it is ready to start up.
During the past few weeks an eff
fort has been made to increase the
water supply of Box spring, which is
owned by the company, and Mr..
Hines states in his letter that in this
he has been successful, and that now
he believes that the water supply is
sufficient to meet all demands at the
mill and at the mine. This is cheer
ing news and it is now believed that
the company will make arrangements
to pipe the water from the spring to
the mine.
A stage line running from Mercur
to Lion hill viii be started up today,
and an effort is being made to have a
postoffice established at the hill.

Mines of the Camp.
MERCUR, Oct. 2S.-Notwithstanding
the report in the Tribune that the
building of the Northern Light mill
was likely to be abandoned, the com
pany continues to crowd the work
along, and unless the weather should
make it impossible-a very unlikely
enough advanced for the workmen to
do their work under cover. The lum-
Der for the building is being freighted
to Lion hill as fast as it arrives at the
depot, and men are busy with the
framing, so that when enough of the
material is at hand there will be no
delay in the work. Your correspondent
is assured by the contractors that the
mill will be ready for work before
Jan. l.
In the mine. although the work of
development is far enough advanced
to provide ore for the need of the mill
for q long time, the work of blocking
out ore still continues, and the extent
of the ore body is known to be great
All talk of the possibility of a failure
to build the mill must have been made
by parties who are entirely unac-
quainted with the condition of affairs
on Lion hill
The East Golden Gate is once more
in a satisfactory condition. We refer
to the working of the drill in the shaft.
Ever since the drill broke in a crevice
there has been trouble in keeping the
shaft straight, on account of the
breaks in the formation. Now, how
ever. good time is made and the drills
are getting into the interior at their
former rate of SpePd
Work at the Cannon shaft has been
temporarily suspended. and before re-
Stunning operations a new engine and

A great deal of development work
has been done in this mine. and the
showing made has been encouraging
At a depth of $50 feet a drift was run
800 feet The whole course of this
was in ore. Again, at a depth of 300
feet. drift was run 200 feet and a
crosscut reached the ore vein. About
400 feet of drifting has been done in
the mine, and all of the workings are
in ore. and the outlook at the time of
shutting down was more favorable
than at any previous time. 1t IS
claimed that the cessation of work viii

Encouraging Showing for this Grand
Old Camp and New Strikes Re-
ported.

B. F. Thornburg, who is just in from
Silver City, Tintic, informs The Herald
that there is a great deal of work go
ing on in that portion Of the district at
the present time, and that new strikes
are now almost of daily occurrence.
In speaking of the work going on in
the mines near Silver City, Mr.. Thorn
burg states that the Sunbeam is show
ing up in magnificent shape, and that
the outlook for this property is mogs
encouraging. and that all that is
needed there is depth, as there is no
doubt but that the ore exists below in
immense deposits, and rich at that.
Within the last few days, according
10 Mr.. Thornburg, e. n. jenkins OF
this city has obtained a lease on the
Home Rule mine, north of the Sun
beam. and also on the Mormon Chief
mine. which adjoinS the Sunbeam on
the east, both OF which are old pro
ducers, and it is understood that 1t is
the intention of Mr.. jenkins to develop
these properties in a most thorough
manner. Mr.. Jenkins has also just let
contract for the driving of a 200-foot
tunnel on the Silver Bow mine, which
is within stones throw of Silver City.
Both of the Swanseas, according to
Mr.. Thornburg, are looking about the
same as ever, and the outlook for these
properties is all that could be desired
The latest sensation however. Is
over the new strike in the Homestake
mine which is said to consist of about
Is inches of $500 ore, the mineral carry
ing well in silver, gold and copper.
The Fisher, near Diamond, is prop
erty that has been but little mentioned
and yet the owners of this property
have put in a steam hoist and are do
ing some extensive development work.
The shaft on this ground is now down
to the 150-foot level, and the indica-
tons are most favorable.
Everything considered, there is every
indication that the mines of Silver
City will make remarkably fine show
ing within another year.

most blessed Lord and Savior.

E. Jones. this property is looking a
most encouraging condition. A small
shipment of high grade ore is already
on the dump and it is the intention OF
the company TO make consignment
about the middle of next week. Machine
drills are being installed at the mine and
It is expected that from now on the shaft
will be sunk at the rate of seven feet a
day, and it is believed that at this rate
that it will not take very long to get
down to a considerable depth, where ex-
perts say that the ore will not only be
found in large bodies, but that it will gain
in values. A blower has just been put in
for the more perfect ventilation of the
shaft and everything about the property
is in perfect working order

There was little life and activity
noticeable on the floor Of the Mining

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 2s-Thonas 3.
Valentine, one of the pioneer printers Of
San Francisco, died yesterday. 60 years
of age. Valentine came here in the early
SOS from New York. He was one of the
original claimants of the land upon which
the city of Pataluma Is now situated. His
title to this land was disputed by the
government, but finally a settlement was
reached and Mr.. Valentine relinquished
his claim for government scrip which en-
titled him to take up unclaimed land in
any part of the United States. This scrip
Valentine used to good advantage. Some
of his scrip. however, fell into the hands
of spectators, and few years ago a por-
ton of the paper was used by an operator
to assert his claim to a piece of land in
the very center of Chicago The title
TO this is now in litigation and the valid
ity of the scrip is yet to be tested in court.
