Aged years, 4months and 20 days.
The flowers we love the best
Are the first to fade and go;
The little ones our lives have blest
Are the first to be laid low.
They fade from our homes like flowers
And we lay them away from our sight !;
But we know in Edens bower
They blossom amid wonderous light.
Bright, beautiful flowers of Eden,
Too fair upon earth to shiue,
Around the portals OF heaven
Their clinging tendrils Irvine.
Oh blossom OF snowy Wilderness,
God claimed thee for his own,
To weave q garland of brightness
Over the great white throne.
But only season God ask this fowar,
And we shall see him again
Nursed by kindlier hand than ours,
And our waiting shall not be in vain.
In the land of constant pleasures,
Where the sweet flowers never die
Soon We will clasp again our treasure,
In the home beyond the sky.

A New Mining Country

Summit Springs Is the newest mining
camp, which correspondent of the San
Rernardino Transcript declares to be the
greatest find made in California since
the mother lode was started on at ANA
DOR" The distance to this camp is from
Marvel twenty-eight miles, good road, or
by river or good road from Needles sixty
miles. l find here what so far is a remark
able country. 1 have visited three camps
extending along the range for three miles,
which so far covers the new discoveries
which are in the low hills of the western
slope of the Colorado river range on the
California and Nevada side of the river.
There are no bold groupings to be found,
lodges must be traced by float or the gravel
surface covering the ground. This gravel
in many places horns gold, and some of
the gulches are now being worked very
profitably with dry washers. Although
the first work was started in February,
Of this year, there are now some thirty
men working and prospecting.
The ores have copper stain, and in some
cases as high as 20 per cent copper. They
also carry more or less lead. Oxidized iron,
however, is the principal base in the ores
and gold is found in more or less quantities
in quartz, spar. quartzite and porphyry,
and in some cases the vein matter is formed

Two Important Decisions

Two very important mining decisions
were rendered by the United States SUI
preme court last week, says the San Fran.
cisco Chronicle. Both relate to California;
in each points of law of moment to the
mineral industry of the state are laid
down. and the amount of money involved
is large, being $S0O,OO in one case and $S25,
900 in the other.
The first of these cases is that of A. Wal
rath VS.. the Champion Gold Mining COM
pany. Suit was brought for an injunction
and $780, 900 damages. End lines and extra
lateral rights were involved. 1t was
claimed by the plaintiff that the Champion
had gone under the surface Of the Provi-
dence to some extent. The case was tried
in the United States court for this circuit
which gave judgment for the defendant.
An appeal was taken to the United States
circuit court of appeals with like result,
and finally the United States supreme court
has made these decisions final. In the
judgment thus upheld 1t was decreed that
the patent to the Providence mine was con-
fined to the Providence lode and to the sur
face ground as surveyed and marked in
the diagram filed in the land office.
In the second case the United States ST.
view asked by the Carson City Gold and
Silver Mining company, on the ground tina.
the United States court of appeals has
erred in rendering a decree in favor of the
defendant, the North Star Mining company
thus practically unfolding that judgment.
The Carson City company, which is the
owner of the Irish-Ameriean mine at Grass
Valley, denied the right ofthe North Star
to go under the surface, and brought suit
for $685. damages for tresspass, and also
asked for an injunction. The property of
the petitioner to the supreme court, the
Irish-American, lies to the north of the
North Star. The mines are not however
contiguous, the Lode Star and the Fahey
intervening, so that there was no surface
conflict. At the trial It was found that the
apex of the ground in dispute lay wholly
within the North Star limits, and judg-
ment was accordingly given for that COM
pany,

ne WANTFD TO MURDER
coRoNER's JURY CHARGES VIC
NoLo WITH THAT CRIME
No Trace Found Of Knife or Any
Weapon About the Body-Noth-
ing New Learned

The inquest on the body of Mrs. George
A. Vignolo, who was killed by her husband
on the San Fernando road Sunday night.
was held yesterday afternoon at the I'M
dertaking rooms of Breese Brothers. Few
additional facts were learned, but the evil
denc0 was strongly against Vignolo, and in
It's verdict, the jury held that "the de-
ceased had come to her death from gun
shot wound inflicted by one George Wig
nolo, her husband. with intent to commit
murder"
George Hunter, who discovered the body
of the woman lying face downward in the
road shortly after the murder, was the
first witness. He told of the position in
which the body had been lying, one of the
hands clasping the gloves. She had evil
IDENTIFY been shot from behind, because the
woman must have fallen forward OH her
face.
AL Darrell, at whose saloon the couple
stopped for a couple of hours before the
shooting, testified to their arriving at his
place, getting out and having drinks and
lunch in the rear garden. Neither appeared
to the witness to be intoxicated, and they
were both apparently in good humor. To-
ward the latter part of their stay, however,
the woman became disagreeable and abused
vignolo After they left the garden to
take their buggy back to town, Darrell
heard them quarreling outside his saloon,
but not caring to listen further, went away.
About fifteen minutes later he heard
muff1ed pistol shot. He did not investigate
the cause of the shooting, and knew moth
ing Of the murder until George Hunter told
him.
The only new evidence was supplied by
Detective Auble. In his statement Vignolo
had claimed that he shot the woman in self
defense. He said that she had drawn
knife on him three times. and at the third
attempt to stab him, he had shot. Auble
said that he had visited the scene OF the
murder the night of the AFFAIR and yester-
day morning also, but absolutely no trace
Of knife or weapon could be found. He
told of the arrest of Vignolo.
Harry Arnold related the discovery of the
woman's potcketbook sixty feet from her
body, with nothing but two coppers in the
purse. DR.. w. NJ. Johnson, who performed
the autopsy, testified regarding the nature
OF the wound. She had evidently been shot
with a 3S-caliber, the ball having entered
the skull about three inches back of the
right ear and ranging upward had lodged

FOURTH OF JULY RATES
Railroads Make One and One-Third
Fare-Bands Engaged

The Santa Fe Railroad companyhas made
q Observation-Disclosures rate from all
points in Southern California for round
trip tickets from July I'd to 5th, inclusive,
and one-fare round-trip going and return
ing the same day, July 4th. This road
will also make a rate of 50 for the round
trip from San Diego and return. 1t is
understood that the Southern Pacific will
make the same rates, including s. fare
from Santa Barbara and return.
The railroads have offered to do all the
advertising for the celebration in the sur
rounding towns They will also run special
early trains, so that organizations from out
side towns may arrive in time to appear in
the parade
Pomona will dispense with a. celebration
this year, and will join with Los Angeles
In helping to make it one of the most sue
cessful Fourth of July jubilees Southern
California has ever SEEM, The city council
has appointed committee to corporate
with the executive committee to have that
city represented in the procession.
There will be twelve bands to furnish
music. Those already engaged are the
Riverside cornet band, Pasadena city band,
San Bernardino cadets, Anaheim city band,
and negotiations are going forward for 9TH
ers, in addition to all the Los Angeles bands.
With the reduced railroad rates and all the
best music of the surrounding towns en-
gagged it is hoped that most of the people
will also be attracted to Los Angeles to
assist in the big celebration. The Indian
school band from PERKS, composed of girls
with mandolins and boys with brass in
struments, will be another musical attrac-
ton.

The battleship float will probably be
manned by members of the Jonathan club
as the club is considering taking it in
charge.
The Hickory club will also turn out in
Z body.
The colored people are contemplating get
ting up a representative float.
If any organization desires to place
float in the procession application must be
made at once, as most of the places at the
disposal of the committee have been en-
gagged.
