THE PECHAUER CASE.

A Jerome correspondent of our con temporary gives the following version of the case against Frank Pechauer, for beating his wife, near Jerome, re gently. The Jerome Reporters version of the affair was copied by the Journal Miner a few days since:
 "The severe beating Frank Pech- auer. of Deception Gulch, gave his wife Sunday night of last week, and the final disposition of the case has caused some unfavOrable comment and in justice to the officials con cerned in the matter I shall state the facts in the case just as they ex- ist. without fear or favor The wO- man was beaten up pretty severely and Pechauer was arrested and held in jail pending the outcome of the wOman's injuries. In order to as certain the phase of the case and the chances of conviction under a criminal charge. Judge McKinnOn, as any careful justice should. went down to find out how matters stood. He went to soc the woman. and she begged him not to send her Frank to Prescott Judge AIcKinnon in quired among the neighbors and
 
 affair The neighbors reported that they heard the row going on. but that it was common for the couple to quarrel. They told him the window blinds were all down and that they could not see q thing inside the house. As they feared Pechauer they did not endeavor to force an entrance to the house. He could find whose testimony would bear weight before a jury. The following day Mrs. Pechauer was brought to town in buggy and appeared before Mir. McKinnOn. She had no visible her right eye to her cheek She positively refused to consent to tes- tify against her husband. and. as every one knows. she could not le gally be compelled to so testify Where was the territory to get it's ease? Judge McKinnon telephOned Reese Ling the circumstances and Reese told him a criminal case could not be lodged against Pechauer with any chance of a conviction, and ad- vised him to make it q m1sdemeanor case, which was done. The culprit was fined $50 and costs and paid Dr. Hart's bill of $2S for medical aid, The woman seems to have been to blame to some extent, and 1t has only been a short time since she was in trouble over an entirely different mat ter. Had McKinnon held the man over to the grand jury he would have been putting the territory to a needless ex- pense, without any chance for convic- tion"

 The Engineering and Mining Journal of June will publish the full tables of mineral and metal production of the United States in 1899. as prepared for the Mineral Industry. Volume VIII The total of this output as estimated at the mines or places of production was S1,211, ,361. .S61-an amount unex- ampled in the history of the United States or of any other country. This total, however, necessarily includes certain Implications, which amounted to $92.5S1. .031, making the total net value of our mineral production S1.- 11S 7S0. .S30. This compares with a corresponding value of $799, ,51S. .033 in 1898, showing an increase in 1899 of $319. 262. .T91 or 39.9 per cent. This enormous increase was in part due to an increase in quantities. and in part to the great advance in values of iron steel. copper and other metals The United States last year was the great est producer of coal. salt. iron. copper. silver and lead in the world, and was also a leader in the production of many of the less important metals. The value of it's mineral production now far exceeds that of any other coun- try Of the total in 1899. crude ores and minerals contributed S5S0, ,S36. .O32. metals reduced from our own ores $496. .O57. .320. secondary products-such as alum, white lead. soda, etc.-$63.- 996. .969: while the value of metals smelted or refined from foreign mater ials was $70,471,540.
