DROWNED IN THE BAY.
Russian John" Tits of the Saunders
Fleet Falls Overheard.


Shortly after s O'Clock last night
John Tits, known as Russian
John" one of the crew of E. +.
Saunders & Cos smack FavOrite,
was drowned by falling off the Pala-
fox wharf.
Watchman Sadler reported that
he heard a heavy fall and a splash
in the water, as if some one had
fallen on the deck of the smack
Marie Hoxie, mOored at the wharf
with the FavOrite lying outside and
alongside. He went to the place at
once. and with the aid of Captain
Antoine Petersen of the Marie HOXie,
who is known about the wharf as
Capt. McGinty," investigated the
cause, and discovered the body Of
Tits in the water. They recovered
the body after some difficulty, but
too late to resuscitate the unfOrtu-
nate man.
The suppOsitiOn is that in passing
from the wharf to the HOXie, on his
way to his own vessel, he made a
misstep and in falling struck his
head on the wharf, causing insensi-
bility.
The remains were taken charge of
by a member of Star of the Sea as
sembly. X. of L., of which the d.
ceased was a member, and removed
to the undertaking establishment of
NOrthup d Wood.
The occurrence has caused deep
regret among the friends and ac-
quaintance Of the deceased, and
many flags along the bay front are
displayed at half-mast to-day in
honor of his memory.

AT WASHINGTON BAR.

Mining matters are getting in motion
for the summers operations, says the
MadisOnian correspondent. The Mohawk
mining company is developing the 16-to-1
and the Bimetallic, both on the same vein,
by tunnel On the ormer they hav a
tunnel $40 feet, and encountered the ore
some 10 days since, and propose driving
ahead some 700 feet more, and in TUNE.
No. 2 in the Bimetalllc on the same vein
some 500 or 600 perpendicular feet higher
up the mountain they are in 375 feet and
have ore varying in thickness from a few
inches to two or three feet all the length
Of the tunnel, sampling from a few dol
lars up into the hundreds. They nave
out some $50 tons of good milling ore. At
tunnel Nc. 1, on same vein, they are in
40 feet, and have had much the same ore
in No. 2. The company proposes to fully
develop the mine and know they nave ore
to warrant the building of a 10-stamp mill
before they commence on the mill. The
mill question will be settled in a few days
as the parties will be here soon to deter
mine how soon work On the mill will com.
mence. If they conclude to build, they
first propose to know for a certainty they
have the ore. Everything looks favor-
able for the enterprise going ahead. 1t
would supply a longfelt want to this
camp, as there is plenty of low grade ore
that could be worked at a profit if tleat-
ed near the mines.

The Virginia City Madisonian is in

the bedrock. The work will be done with
a drill made especially for this particular

in the season a survey will be made for
the ditch required to convey water 0om
the Hell Rearing fork of the Madison and
the location of reservoirs to hold the
spring foods, so as to insure a uniform
supply through the working season.
Should this ground not improve from the
present deepest explorations it will be a
splendid proposition, but all signs indi-
cate it to be very rich on or near bed

the same flow of gravel at points further
south where, in every instance, heavy

Circumstances of Bogus Mort
gage Deal.
|OWNER OF PROPERTY
Testified That He Received No Money
on the M0rtgage-Bonds Fixed
at $4,000.

Albert E.. Reek, the dealer in real
estate, who a few months ago mort
gagged several pieces of property in this
city without the sanction of the owners,
was given a preliminary hearing in JUS
.tice Nichols court today on a charge
of having mortgaged Andrew Nelson's
property to Edward l.. Mahoney for
81, 800 on January 10. The prosecution
was represented by Roy S. Alley and the
defendant by Alexander Mackel and Car
roll G. Dolman. Mr.. Mahoney recounted
the circumstances of the DEAL. He testi-
fed that Reek had asked him to "a the
money for two years, and after looking
at the property he had consented to do
gage and received a check for the 81, 800.
In looking over the abstract. however,
the witness said he had discovered some
thing that did not appear right and an
investigation followed, with the result
that Reek's work was discovered. The
check had been cashed at the bank by
Reek, and witness said he could tell the
denomination of the bills paid him.
Andrew Nelson testified that he owned
the property m~ortgaged by Reek; that
it was located on a Granite street,
and so far as any mortgage was con-
cerned he knew nothing about it. He
had never seen the prOmissory note
given by Reek and the signature pur-
porting to be his was bogus. He was in
Butte during January, he said, but had
no business dealings with Reek.
Mr.. Nelson was not cross-examined.
John M. Dixon told the court he had
acknowledged the instrument as a no.
tary public. When Reek called with an
other man he had asked him if he Knew
the other man to be Nelson and Reek had
told him he did. Dixon said he would
not attempt to say that Nelson was the
man who accompanied Reek.
Mr.. Nelson was recalled and stated
that during January he had not visited
Mr.. Dixon's office.
Mr.. E. l.. Mahoney, who accepted the
abstract and other papers n delivered
the check to Reek at the request of Mr..
Mahoney, who vas away from home at
the time, told what she knew of the
transaction.
The state rested it's case at this point
and the defense moved for a dismissal
on the alleged ground that there had
been no evidence to show that Reek had
signed the note or mortgage, but the
i! court aid he could see nothing in the
motion n denied it, adding that it had
been clearly shown that Reek had gone
to Mr.. Mahoney with a forged note.
The defense had no testimony to Offer
and Reek was held to the district court
in the sum of 81, 900.
