From Low Point-NeWs of
the Mines.

While Captain Thomas Couch was the
tana properties in this city he negotiated
a deal for Boston and Butte capitalists
by which he acquired what are known
as the MERGED properties, located in
M~arfposa county, Cal, neal the town of
Coulterville. At first the project was not
successful, and many of the Boston
stockholders felt that they had been
badly taken in. There were drawbacks
to the successful operation of the mines
never dreamed of, the chief of which per-
haps was the frequent ~shut-downs of
the mill on account of the lack of water.
The mines did not show up we'll, and
many of the stockholders in disgust
parted with their stock for less than
one -half of the purchase price.
Many of the Butte stockholders, in
Guiding Mr.. Frank Klepetko, general
manager of the Boston & Montana and
Butte & Boston mines here, believed that
additional development work would
prove that the MERGED properties were
all right and that they were not mis-
taken is shown by recent reports. which
are to the effect that since a year ago
splendid bodies of ore have been opened
up and big improvements are contem-
plated in the near future.
The MERGED mines cover the largest
area or the mother lode of any mining
company In California, it's mines extend
ing ten miles in length. The ompany
owns in all some Is claims, chief Of
which are the Mary Harrison Ind Potosi,
and on which DEVELOPMENT work has
been concentrated. The Mary Harrison
has the best showing of any of the
group, a rich strike having been made
on 1T about a year ago. 1t has since
been demonstrated hat the strike is
much better below the 5OO-foot level
than in THE upper working, thus confirm
ing the opinion of many California ex-
perts that the mother lode gets richer
with depth. If this proves true, the
mem who have held en- to their stock
during the past few years will be richly
rewarded.
1t is a we'll known fact that deposits
of g~o1d-bearing ore are MOI as uniform
stockholders expected too much at the
start, and with a little patience would
have won out. During the past year the
company has purchased sufficient water
to supply a hundred or more stamps all
the year round. Cheaper methods have
been introduced for the treatment of the
ore, and with GO stamps more added it
is confidently expected the company will
earn between $50, 900 and $40, 900 per
month, or about So or 81 per share.
Meanwhile the development work at
the Mary Harrison mine continues. The
shaft is being developed from the 800
to the 1,O00-foet level. which will give
the company good stopping ground for
years to come. The company is in
splendid shape, having in it's treasury
about 5000, 900 in cash, and there are
about 100000 shares of treasury stock
on hand, which in all probability will
never need to- be issued. Several hun
dred Thousand tons of low grade ore are
on the dump, which will be treated at
the new stamp mill Of the

OF ASSAULT
IN THIRD DEGREE,

Baptiste Strozzi, the Park Canyon
dairyman who carved Ludwig Parrin with
an AK while the latter was navigating the
canyon in a wood wagon on the 23rd of
October, was found guilty of assault i'm
the third degree by a jury in Judge
Clancy's court about s O'clock last night,
but only nine of the jurymen
in the verdict, the other three stating that
the result was not to their liking. The de-
PENDANT was charged with assault in the
first degree. His trial was commenced
on Saturday morning and at 4:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the case was turned
over to the jury.
Under the law a two-thirds vote of a
jury in a third degree assault case is all
tina is necessary to convict. When the
verdict was rendered C. F. Kelley, one of
the deputy county attorneys, Informed the
court that he desired to nave the Jury
polled for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the jurymen first acquitted
Strozzi of assault in the first Sec
ond degrees before finding him guilty Of
the lesser ~offense, which is only a mis-
demeanor. but the judge told him it was
not necessary and discharged the jury.
John N. Kirk, who defended Strozzi, ask
ed the cOure to continue Strozzi's bond
until the time for passing sentence on
the prisoner arrived, which will be Thurs
day, but the judge told him the bond ex-
pired with the trial of the cause. The
judge also refused to fix a new bond; con-
saquently Strozzi will nave to be a guest
of the county until Thursday.

THE TWIN BRIDGES SMELTER.

Sheridan Chinook: The Twin Bridges
snelter will start up some time this
week and will buy all lead ores that can
be furnished. Mr.. Teal informed us that
the company would not treat dry ores
at the rates formerly made by them,
but would charge 20 cents for each unit
of silica over iron. This will make the
cost of treating very silicious ores too
high to be acceptable to some of our
shippers and We are sorry that such
rates have been made.
The company has mad ARRANGEMENTS
with the Stillman Mining at
Castle for 80 tons of lead ore per day,
and they also have a contract with the
people now working on the Grouse mine.
not far from Twin Bridges, for a large
amount of low grade lead ore, to be fur
nished regularly. 1t would seem that
with such ores as can be furnished in
this vicinity and those coming from OUT
side. the furnace ought to keep running
steadily in the future.
AS far as ores aroun here are con-
cerned, miners will find that in MANY
cases the iron contained in their ores is
In excess of the silica, and in such cases
good rates can undoubtedly be made and

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE FOR THE
ROY

The question is asked us, "Where a
boy has worked for his father on the
home farm until he is of age what
should the father do for him?'' From
legal standpoint the father has the
right to the sons services until the boy
is 81 years old and Is under no legal
obligation to do anything for him. The
father can tell the boy that his time is
up and that he can now shift for him
self. Some old scads do this, and they
never should have been given a good
boy. The best way is for the father to
encourage the boy to begin acquiring a
little property four or five years before
he comes Of age and which if properly
attended to will give the boy at 81
enough to make start. If this has not
been done, the boy is surely entitled to
a small share of the farm property
which his labor has aided in accumu-
lating. 1t never hurts boy to rough it
and commence life in small way. On
the other hand, it is usually the best
thing which can happen to him, for he
then learns wisdom by experience, but
the father if at all able so to do should
be willing to lend willing and helping
hand to the son who has faithfully
worked on the old farm until he is Of
age. If you have just such boy, you
do just as you would like to be done by.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN MURDER.
Pennington Man Badly Cut Last Night
by Another Resident.

Pennington, Dec. 26.-(SpeciaD-
A serious cutting ARRAY took place in
this city last night, in which one man
received cash on his head eight in
ches in length, and which required
several stitches to close, from the ef-
fects of murderous attack by a
drunken man during the progress of a
ball.
William Fread, a citizen of this
place, was on bowling Christmas
drunk last night and attempted to en-
ter the room where the firemen were
having ball. On account of his con-
dition he was refused admittance by
Albert F.. Miller, the door-keeper, and
was elected from the place. He tried
to gain admittance the second time,
and came up the stairs to the opera
house, where the ball was held with a
knife in his hands. He and Miller en-
gagged in an alteration, during the
course of which the latter was cut on
the head. The knife entered at a
point about two inches above and
about one and one-half inches behind
the left ear, cutting in half-circle, a
wound eight inches in length, extend
ing to the corner of the left eye. 1t
was fearful wound and required the
services of two physicians to close it.
Tread escaped and has not yet been
apprehended.
