And that is when leaders assume great Inn

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 14.-The United

cases today in the United States Court
of Appeals.
F. H. Moore is the agent for the Union
Pacific in Salt Lake county, and man
ages the company's coal business. Sharp
and Carpenter are large operators and
belong to the Salt Lake Exchange. 1t

agreement existed whereby the price of
coal was SO manipulated as to shut off
competition and deter the progress Of
trade. Indictments were found and the
cages tried in the territorial court. The
men were found guilty of seeking to es-
tablish a monopoly and were each fined
5000 aud costs.

THE COLOR LINE
Negroes Object to the Separate

ALTON, ILL.,, Feb. 14.-The action taken
by the State Supreme Court in sus-
tanning the answer of the attorneys for
the relator Scott Bibb, in the Alton pub
lie school mandamus case, is the subject
of much spirited comment and specula-
tion here. The ruling is an important
point in favor of the colored people, as
it sustains their answer to the demurrer
filed in behalf of the city. The attor-
neys for the city promptly forwarded
notice of intention to file an amended
answer and this will be presented in
court Tuesday morning.
The colored people are considerably
elated over the favorable turn thus given
to their case and will continue their fight
with renewed courage. They have kept
1t up thus far with determined persist
ence and a seemingly growing resolution
to continue 1t to the end.

MINES AND MINERS
4++++++ t+++++*f+ff*f+a

The undying hope that the Comstock
will recover some of it's departed glory
is being again revived by discussion of
the possibilities and practicability of
pumping out the deepest levels which
have been so long flooded and abandoned
and sinking deeper in quest Of new
bonanzas, says the San Francisco Call.
This seems feasible to mining men and
the thing may be tried some of these
days, especially If the prospecting of the
Brunswick lode keeps on disappointing.
The deepest shaft reached 1850 feet, and
ON the 300-foot level good ore and indi-
cations were found in the Belcher, jack
ct and Hale and Norcross. This was In
1882, and the pressure for dividends
prompted an abandonment of deep
working and a return to the unworked
ore bodies in the upper levels. which
yielded millions before their riches were
exhausted. AS pumping operations
would be conducted on the 1900 level,
that Of the Sutro tunnel, there is but
about 1900 feet to unwater. AS the
chances are good that unreached bonan-
zas lie below the deepest workings, there
is fairly good promise that the enter
prise will be carried out one of these
days, and that Virginia City may again
hum with life. But so far 1t Is all in
teresting discussion.

DESERT THEIR DOOM

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
A TEMECULA BOY DRAGGED TO

Beyond Recognition

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 14.-Word was re-
ceived in this city today from Temecula of

of his companions clambered on one horse
and the other boy on the other.
Soon after the horse with one rider threw
the boy and running past the other horse
frightened 1t. II threw Wood and his COM
panion. Wood in falling struck his head
on the ground and at the same time became
cntangled in the rope. The horse ran for
more than a mile, dragging the unfortu-
nate lad over rocks. fences and gulches and
was finally stopped by ranch hand,
An examination showed that the top of
Woods head was missing and about every
bone in the body broken. The features
were SO badly disfigured as to be past

Mining Notes


The Healdsburg Enterprise reports
the locating Of rich ledge in the
( Bloomfield district.
| The Pioneer mine, near Vaughn's
place, has recently yielded between $4,000
| and $1,000, says the Kern County Echo.
Capt. Farnsworth is having about 100
tons of bonanza ore from the North Star
mine crushed at the Ready Relief mill
at Banner.
In the last four or five months, so the
Kern County Echo is informed the
Glenn Olive mine has produced about
1000 in gold.
The mining activity in Ell Dorado coun-
ty is Illustrated by the fact that during
January 1872 mining location notices and
ninety-nine proofs of labor were re-
corded.
High-grade ore Is reported by ths
Redding Free Press as being taken out
Of the Trinity Consolidated, but cold
weather and shortage of water Is in
terfering with milling operations.
A force of men Is at work on the Etna
mine. in the Defiance district, west OF
Fallbrook. The Botterel syndicate, which
owns the Etna and other mines in that
district, is doing a great deal of devel-
opment work.
The onyx works at Big Bug, Ariz.,
have closed down, throwing thirty men
out of employment The shutdown was
| caused by a disagreement among the
managers as to whether the onyx should
be shipped east for finishing, or have
the work done at Big Bug.
The owners of the Iron Mountain
copper mine in Shasta county, which is
now one of the largest and most profit
able mines in the state, worked 1t un-
profitably for gold. The present own
ers work it for copper, and the gold ex-
tracted from the ore is mere by-prod-
uct.
Some valuable as we'll as handsome
specimens of ore are being taken from
the Given mine. Some taken from the
mine last week are on exhibition at the
mineral exhibit or Miners Fair In San
Francisco. This lot weighed about forty
pounds, and Is estimated to be worth
about $4,000.
The directors of the Santa Rosalia
company last week declared the thir-
teenth dividend of 10 cents per share.
At the meeting it was decided to put
up stamp mill at once for the pur-
pose of concentrating the ordinary ore
from the mine, of which there are hum
dreds of tons on the dump.
The Sonora Banner says: John Barry
has discovered another ledge on his
claim, known as the Poor Mans Friend,
which is located on the east belt, near
the new Albany mine. 1t is four feet
in width, and free gold can be readily
seen by the naked eye. Besides this,
it is well supplied with sulphurets that
assay to the satisfaction of the owner.
