Besides these two DEGREES the court di-
vorced six persons from Ireland, one
from Austria, one from Italy, three from

instructions given the jury by the court

NEWS OF The MINES

A. w Mcclure and his son Vivian re-
turned home from their visit to he
Watseka mine. lea Dillon Mont, yes
terday. They are both enthusiastic over
the outlook at the property, and assert
without qualification that it is one Of
the great mines Of the whole country,
says h Salt Lake Herlad.
There is over $3.50, 900 worth of fine
ore now in sight in one chute alone,''
said Mr.. McCune, and If there is not a
radical change in the character Of the
vein from wha 1 now think it is there
will be over $4,000, 900 worth of good ore
In sight when We reach the 400-foot
level.
The Watseka mine has been worked
on and on with greater or less regular
ity for the past thirty-five years, and it
has been a good paying mine too, at
times; but there has never been any at
tempt made to control the water. For
that reason the mine has never been
worked below the lOO-foot level, 1t has
been really surface mining. The prob
lem we had at the start was to control
the water, n this we have finally sue
ceeded in doing after the expenditure of
a large sum of money. At first the flow
of water was 700 gallons per minute;
no wit is but 400, n we have machinery
In the mine sufficient to take care Of
four times that amount
We now have our shaft down to the
20O-foot level and are turning out some
ore that will run as high as 81, 500 to the
ton. We expect to be shipping a ton Of
this ore every day in a short time. In ad-
dition to this the thirty-five ton mill is
in fine working order, ready for the low
grade ore, Of which there is an mex
haustible supply. There are about
seventy men at work at the mine and
more will be put on in a few days. I am
confident that the Watseka Is a great
mine.n

Along close to the holidays last year Pinkerton detective came to the office and waited for three days and nights for a man wanted in the East, who was supposed to be In this city. The detective knew that before the murder he was accused of committing the man had eorTesponded with wom- an in the East. The detective had been waiting three days, when he received word to go to Columbus, Ohio, as there was a letter at that office for the man. He went, and had not been there long when the man made his appearance. The detective arrested him at once and proceeded to Cleveland, where the prisoner was tried and sentenced to death. Another instance was where not long ago the authorities were look ing for man accused of committing some big crime and had no clew at all as to where he was; so every office in the country was sent word to look out Cor a letter for that man. Some time after one came to our office and we at once notified the authorities. A detec- tive ~ame on immediately, and when the man asked for his mail he was at once arrested"

Taking the water at Blackwall pier in the early morning, says the London Chronicle. Holbein went down the river on a strong ebb. which ran until he had progressed two with the tide, he came back on the flood to Blaekwall He failed to reach the pier by mile, owing to the tide fail- ing him, and he left the water quite fresh and strong, willing. had his friends so advised, to turn again and complete fifty miles The distance he had thus covered forty-three miles. which he swan in twelve hours, twen- ty-seven minutes, forty-two and three feurths seeonds-is the greatest ever known to have been covered by swimmer although 1t has been as- sumed that Matthew Webb, when he crossed the channel, must have been borne almost as far by the changing tides. Holbein swims with a slow but powerful stroke. half-side, half-back;i he progresses at an even pace and never seems to tire He has done some marvellous feats on the bicycle, and was at one time an excellent cross country runner and distance walker, but this swim is certainly to be reckoned as his most remarkable achievement in the matter of endurance.
