HIS HEART OF ENORMOUS SIZE
Weighing Fifty-six Ounces, It Causes
It's Owners Death

George Erlinger, a Cincinnati city hos
pital patient, is dead at the city hospital
from hypertrophy of the heart. In the
normally constituted man or woman
that organ never exceeds 12 ounces in
weight. This fact being universally
known to the profession at large, it was
with some surprise and even consterna-
ton that the physicians examined the
heart of Erlinger and found that it
weighed Sc ounces.
One of the arteries permitting the flow
of blood from the heart became hard
ened and would not allow further pas
sage, and in consequence, it became dis
tended, enlarging to such an extent as
to push out the chest, and elongating so
as to cover the spleen. Its beats could
be plainly heard in the region of the
abdomen, and the prognosis was that
the disease was necessarily fatal. And
so it proved.
In the interest of science and in order
to establish the correctness of the first
diagnosis, the post-mortem examina-
ton was ordered, and then it was that
the astonishing fact was revealed. The
heart when exposed was of a terribly
abnormal size, having crowded the
lungs, spleen and liver out of place and
filing two-thirds of the chest cavity

MINES AND MINERS

The numerous dykes which intersect
the productive portion of the Rano ois-
trict are diorites and porphyries OF uh-
doubted laccolithic origin, says ). a.
Averette in the Randsburg Miner. NOW
for the benefit of the uninitiated l Will
say that laccolith is geological term OF
Greek derivation. "Laccos," meaning
cistern, and "Lithos," stone-hence
reservoir or cistern of molten stone or
lava under the earth's crust.
The sitter, or less fluid lavas, seldom
break out into open eruption. but as
may be seen in many instances in the
west, lift and push up the upper strata
into a huge mound, much resembling a
boil on the human frame. From me-
chanical law this yielding and bending
of the upper strata is much assured and
cracked, and the eruption into these
seams and assures of molten igneus
matter has formed our system OF dyk-
age that subsequent erosion has exposed
plainly to view.
In the range north and west of Rands-
burg, called successfully Goler noun
tains. Squaw Peak mountains and Pi-
lots Peak mountains. we have success
mouth of Red Rock canyon and running
on a northeasterly course to Summit
placer camp, thence easterly to near the
line of the Atlantic and Pacific track.
The Red mountain back of Johannes
burg is distinct laccolith and is no
doubt the last one formed in this sue
cession of seismic disturbances and the
one which has occasioned much of the
faultage subsequent to the older vein
formation of the Rand district.
This latter disturbance is clearly
shown in much of the bracehiated ma
ture of the vein matter in this vicinage
in some of the veins.
So much disturbance has taken place
at many points on either side of this
volcanic range that the extreme fault
age makes lode mining an extra haz-
ardous undertaking, although number
less veins of quartz are encountered
carrying gold, silver, copper, lead. ETC.,
of sufficient size and richness to war
rant exploration did not this adverse
condition prevail. Especially may this
be noted in that part of the range be-
tween Garden Station and Red Rock
canyon.
Many wild and improbable theories
are advanced by persons unfamiliar
with mining or geology, as to the pres
ence of immense and rich blanket de-
posits of ore under us. Now, while this
is in the limits of the possible, still
see no evidence to support this theory,
which seems to be one entirely of con-
lecture and hence of no commercial i'm
portance.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
A WORD to the Point

There are newspapers In this state
which appear to make business Of
misquoting the Record-Union. One Of
these in mountain county Is so fire.
quently in evidence in this respect that
we attribute 1t to pure carelessness, but
in other cases 1t is pure cussedness. we
find supposed extracts from the Rec
ord Union frequently printed IN inte-
rior papers and credited to this journal
which never appeared in 1t. 1t Is mod
estly suggested to the scissors men OF
the state that they exercise more care
in quoting. If they so much wrongfully
credit in the matter of this paper, they
create the impression that they are
quite as careless in crediting other ex-
changes, and hence they will fall into
disrepute in the newspaper world. There
is one thing that the newspaper CANNOT
afford to do, and that is to be inexact In
crediting contemporaries. 1t is nc
small matter, since the party entitled tc
credit is robbed Of his due, and another
is published as saying that which hi
never ntended.-Sacrament Record

The porte has demanded the recall of two
American missionaries from the province
of Aleppo, on the pretext that their mis-

Another Rich Strike

Authentic reports are at hand, says
the Prescott Courier, that the most san
guine anticipations as to the richness of
the Storm Cloud mining group are being
realized. For some months past devel-
opment work has been pushed on these
mines by eastern capital A large force
of men has been and is now employed
and steam prospecting mill to test the
ore has been at work on the ground.
The workings have reached a depth OF
eighty feet and are in ore from top to
bottom. The ledge ranges from twenty
inches to five feet in width and gives an
average sample of $10S per ton gold The
properties are located in Hassayampa
district, about twelve miles due south
from Prescott. 1t is stated that after
sufficient development work is done, ore
reduction machinery necessary will be
put up. The mines have for years be-
longed to Fred Williams, who bonded
the properties to the party now doing
the development work.

The Perris District

The Virginia Gold Mining and Milling
company have at last got to work.
Their new five-stamp mill, with two
stamp tremain as a side issue, seven
stamps in all, is crushing the ore piled
on the dump, says the Riverside Press.
The rock from the Virginia shows a
value between $50 and SIS. The ground
in this mine is easy to work, the quartz
nearly decomposed and the whole mine
comparatively dry. One good feature
about the mine is that it never has any
phenomenal strikes or bodies of ore
Immensely rich." and SO forth. 1t main
tains a steady value from fifty feet be-
low the surface until the lowest level Is
reached, nearly 200 feet below ground.
The Montezuma mine, above the Vir-
ginia, is idle temporarily. the owners. it
is said, having deal on hand. Their
new shaft Is down about ninety-seven
feet.
Mr.. Hammitt, the owner of the HI
starred Federal Loan mine, has pur-
chased a crusher. to be run by a small
gasoline engine. The machine has
capacity of 1900 or 1000 pounds per day.
As the mine has a well-defined pay
streak a half inch wide, running over
$1,000 per ton, Hammitt can earn very
good wages if he can extract enough ore
every day.
1t is reported that the Gavilan mine
is getting better as sinking proceeds.
If this is so new pump will soon be on
the way.
Reports came into town last week con-
cerning a ledge of arsenite rock lying
somewhere in the hills north of Elsinore.
The ledge is said to assay about $6 and
that it is 100 feet wide.

A Great Silver Property

At the 400-foot level on the Norma
mine the White Hills company has cut
a body of ore three feet in width, says the
Mohave Miner. A car sample of the
ore gave return of 2600 ounces Of silver
and over one ounce of gold to the ton.
The shaft has been sunk 80 feet in the
ore body, and it is bigger and stronger
in the bottom than where first encoun-
tered. The Sweeny and Chidister shaft
was within so feet of this ore body when
the company cancelled the lease. The
company has just put a hoist on the
Blind Goddess mine. and has opened up
an excellent body of silver and gold ore
of good milling grade. Over 200 men are
on the pay roll.

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY
SAN BERNARDINO

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 9.-(Reg-
ular Correspondence.) James Condor,
a freight brakeman on the Santa Fe
Pacific, died Sunday morning just af-
ter arriving at the depot in San Ber-
nardino at a. m. Shortly after mid
night while making the run from Los
Angeles to this city while near North
Ontario he lost his balance and fell
from the caboose while the train was
running at full speed. The train was
stopped and the unfortunate man was
picked up and brought to this city as
quickly as possible but died at 2:10 a. m.
just after arrival, having a very bad cut
on his head. Coroner Keating was noti-
fed and the remains were placed in
charge of the undertakers until an in
quest can be held. Word was tele-
graphed ahead of the arrival of the train
and a surgeon was at the depot to meet
the wounded man but nothing could be
done for him. Condor was about thirty
years of age and had been in the en-
ploy of the Santa Fe for many years.
There has been some little placer min
ing done up the bed of Lytle creek and
it's tributary canyons ever since the first
discovery of gold in California, but while
some prospectors have made a living
there has been no big strikes sufficient
to call particular attention to the mines.
Papers have just been filed, however,
that point to something more than or
dinary interest in that section. c. De
Witt Chapman and c. p. Mallory have
made a claim on 500 inches Of water
located one mile and half nearly south
of Summit station on the Santa Fe Pa
cific up the Cajon pass. This water is
to be conducted through a ditch 80 feet
long to the hill through which a tun-
mel 60 feet long is to be run, letting the
water into Horse Thief canyon, down
which the water is run in the natural
channel 800 feet to reservoir to be
constructed, and from the reservoir by
fume and natural channel for 5000 feet.
The water will be conducted to the
placer mines owned by the ONES who
have filed on the water. These must be
of more than ordinary promise to war
rant such an outlay to bring water there
to work them. These are called the Sun
shine placer mining claims They have
been located, claimed and posted and
work on the water development was
commenced Jan. q, 1898.

Annie F. Gaslzell Of San Bernardino and
