PRESCOTT PRAISE.
How the New Town Looks to Many
 From a Distance.

The following complimentary mo- tice appears in the October number of Ores and Metal, an excellent min ing publication of Denver.
 "For large area, fifty miles in al most any direction, Prescott is the natural supply point, and is hand some city beautifully located. Its entire business area burned out one year ago, but today rebuilt hand somely of brick, stone, cement and glass, and is the best and most mod ern of any town of 5000 inthe United States, if not in the world. Its busi- ness is large and growing, stocks of goods are first class. the water supply adequate now and its future is cer- tain.
 "Jerome is not its rival nor will it ever be, for it is not situated for a dis tributing point, is not and will not be on any line of railroad, while Prescott is on the line connecting the Santa Fe railroad with the Southern Pacific, the two great parallels of the South west, several hundred miles apart.
 Prescott needs new residence buildings, and there is profit in their construction for rentingat stiff prices.
 Between Prescott and Jerome the Black Hills are rich in copper, silver aad gold, and the promise is that the western slope of the Black Hills will soon rival the eastern slope with the United Verde and many promising mines.

An Important Mining Decision.

The supreme court has reversed the
 decision of the superior court oi Tuolumne county in the case en titled Emerson ct al. vs. R. H. Nc.
 Whirter et' al., giving judgment tc plaintiffs upon the same evidence that the superior court gave judg- ment to defendants.
 The case involves the title of the Slap Jack mine, located near Grove land and was orig. .nally tried in
 April, 1899, when judgment was in favor of defendants.
 The case was carried to the su- preme court, with the result that on Thursday of last week, the court at Sacramento ordered judg- ment for plaintiffs.
 The mine was jumped by one R. H. McWhirter at 15 minutes past 12 midnight, on Sunday, January |, 1899, who claimed that the assess ment work had not been done ac- cording to law and that the mine was not properly located, in that there was posted but one notice on the claim-at one end-whereas the min ing rules and regulations of Tolumne mining district require two-one at the center of each end.
 In regard to the posting of notices, the supreme court holds that where there is no penalty attached for the violation of any rule or regulation of a local nature it does not vitaite the location.
 Emerson ct al. commenced doing assessment work on the mine on the 3lst day of December. The follow ing day, January 1, being Sunday, no work was done; but on the 2d day of January work was resumed and continued until S100 worth was performed thereon.
 The supreme court holds the man ner in which the work was done as legal; that it is not required to work on Sunday to make such work "con- tinuous" as the law provides.
 The decision affects a number of mining locations, as many locators have heretofore posted a notice at location at one end of the claim only. It also clearly sets forth the law as to the resumption of labor before the ex- piration of the year for which it is due.
 According to this ruling q person may commence work at any time be- fore the end of the year, and continue excepting Sundays, even if the first falls on that day, until the required amount of labor and improvements have been made, and such work is valid for the year in which it was 
 The mine for which the parties were in litigation is considered a valuable property, and has at least 5000 worth of machinery upon it.

Died Like a Hero.

During the spring of 1882, when Geronimo's band was abroad in the land, John Knox, a professional gambler, left Clifton with his wife and several small children in a wagon for Silver City. When they reached the open mesa near Works ranch Knox saw a band of Indians ap- preaching from the opposite direc- ton. He knew there was only one show for his family to escape, and that was to take the road back to Clifton. He turned his team toward town and grabbing his Winchester he told his plucky wife to drive for dear life. He jumped out of the wagon, got in among some rocks, and man. aged to stand the Indians of for more than half an hour, which gave the family such a start toward Clifton that the Indians did not pursue them. On the following day the citizens of Clifton visited the scene and buried the body of the gambler at Pueblo Via. His body was perforated by bullets, but the Indians, out of re- spect for his bravery, refused to muti- late his remains. John Knox died a hero, and his name is spoken of to- day by the few old-timers who re- member the circumstance with pro found respect.-Copper Era.

How Geld Was Found in Colorado.

On May 5, 1859, as stated in Eos sett's "Colorado" QS76), John Greg ory, a prospector, climbed the hill into what is still known as Gregory Gulch (midway between the present Central City and Black Hawk, scraped away the grass and leaves, filled his gold pan with dirt and took it down to the stream. Upon pan ming it down there was about four dollars worth of gold in it. This was followed by a stampede to the Greg ory diggings, as they were afterwards called. Gregory employed five men from the new arrivals and by means of sluice took out S972 in one week. Other rick strikes were made almost daily and large amounts of gold were taken out in a short time. The Bates, Bobtail, Mammoth, Gunnell, Bur roughs, Illinois and hundreds of other lodes were found and thousands of claims were taken up. As the summer of 1859 advanced, the wealth of the gold veins and gulches of what is now Gilpin county became more and more apparent. Over 15,OOO men were cOngregated in Gregory, Russell and tributary gulches, and many of them were accommodating wealth rapidly; but everything val uable was soon pre-empted and large numbers were forced to hunt their fortunes elsewhere. -- Engineering Magazine.

 A Chicago man who was married seven years was spresented by hi: wife with fourteen children. There were five sets of twins and one ol quadruplets. Upon the arrival of the latter, the father, who kept a grocery store, closed up his business and left for parts unknown. A few days after his departure his wife received an offer from a museum of $500 per week for herself and children to go on ex- hibition.
 The Hoey case at Tucson has been continued for the term on an affidavit of defendant, alleging a conspiracy against him. The affidavit is quite lengthy and says that defendants mail and that of his attorneys has been tempered with, intercepted and opened, and that access to his private papers has been denied him since his arrest. The affidavit, if proven, would not only acquit Hoey, but would be likely to send others to the penitentiary. The judge took cogni- zance of it to the extent of continuing the case for the term.

SAN FRANcISco'S NEW MAYOR.

The election of union labor man as mayor of San Francisco seems to have been surprise to the country. While it may be a surprise, the indi- cations are that it will not be a calamity to that city. MT. Schmitz, the newly elected mayor, is a native of that city. He is at the head of a large manufacturing institution and is professional musician. He owns an elegant home and is identified with the interests of the city in every way and will use the position for the pro motion of its best interests. He has always been affiliated with the re- publican party, and accepted the nomination from the union labor party on account of his dissatisfac- tion with the boss rule of both demo- crats and republicans in the city. He received the support of republi- cans and democrats alike who have have tired of bossism and was the only candidate on the union labor ticket elected. In speaking of the result, MT. Schmitz said:
 'I believe that one result of my election will be the es- tablishment of more friendly rela- lions between the employees and employers, and I will endeavor to bring about a feeling of harmony in this line, believing that it will con- duce to the welfare of San Francisco. I shall give fair consideration to in- terested capital. I said to the con vention of the union labor party be- fore was nominated: I am conser- vative in my ideas and am not in fa- vor of a radical, revolutionary policy, my motto being equal rights for all men, special privileges to none. I am in favor of peaceful measures at all hazards between employers and employees, and deplore all resort to violence in the settlement of any diff culty'
 "I spoke to the committee frankly before the delegates gave me the nomination, and now, after my cleo ton, I assure the people of the city that it will be my aim in office to do everything in my power to honor San Francisco and promote the prosper ity of the city,
 "As San Francisco is my birth place, and as my father came here in 1S49 and actively devoted himself to the building up of the city, it will surely be my desire to make most creditable administration. All classes and all elements will have just and fair representation in thecommissions to be appointed by the mayor. Twill consult the best interests of the city in making changes and will fully re- spect the non-partisan spirit of the charter.
 "The union labor party did not ex- act a pledge of me. All that the dele gates asked of me was fairness and equal justice to all, which I propose to carry out"

Japanese Invitation to Commit Suicide

Strassburg papers relate the fol lowing extraordinary invitation tC suicide: A young Japanese had at tended the lectures upon jurispru dence for several terms at the Strass- burg university, and finally presented himself as candidate for the doc tors degree. The professor, who did not consider the young man suffi- ciently prepared, tried vainly to per suade him from prematurely attempt ing the examination. The Japanese was eventually plucked. The same day he packed his luggage and left Strassburg in high dudgeon for home. Some time after the profes- sor received a letter from a youthful relative of the Japanese, informing him that the family of the late stu dent was unable to support the hu- utilization that the professor had brought upon them, and that on a certain day, which he named, they would put an end to their existence. They therefore called upon him to do them satisfaction of committing sui eide upon tie same day as themselves. Later information from Japan shows that the family kept their word, but the professor sees no reason why he should follow their example.-Lon- don Telegraph.
