Ghastly Discoveries in an Old Mine.
r. M. Keen did some more ex-
ploring of the old Spanish mine at
He'll Hole last week. He had a
party of four men, two of whom op-
Grated the MINDLESS. A workman
who was let down the hundred foot
shaft, found an Inclined drift of
thirty feet, running east which he
followed to three labed room,
twenty feet long. He then returned
reporting he could go no further.
George Keen went down next and
from the room found an inclined
drift running west forty feet and an
up-stope was followed for twenty
five feet and joined an inclined drift
opening at intervals into three
"rooms," between the second and
third of which he found a human
skeleton and a decayed windlass.
The unfortunate human being had
evidently met with foul play of some
sort, for had he fallen down the
the shaft it would have been impos-
sible for him to have climbed up
the up-stope to where it joined the
incline. The bones gave evidence
Of having lain there long time.
Mr.. Keen left force of hands at
work tunneling into the last "room

VOL. LII
Discoveries of Minerals.

In an address before the New South
Wales chamber of mines early in the
year, Mr.. A. j. Bensusun, noted
mineralogist, said relative to mineral
discoveries:
Not infrequently discoveries are
made by mere accident, by men hav-
ing but the crudest idea of mines
and minerals, but there are gen.
orally Oh account OF the fact that in
certain localities the valuable sub
stances are oozing out of the earth,
so to speak, and can't help being
found. A farmer ploughing his
land might unearth bright sub
stances, which may turn out such
minerals as lead antimony, or bis
muth in their common forms of
sulphides; or, perhaps, silver In its
native state; or metallic gold, if the
stone is very rich, when he can
hardly fail to note the substances
are of value. Much prospecting
may be done by men who set out de-
finitely to search a locality for some
particular metal in more or less
systematic manner but for want of
little practical geological know
ledge, perhaps. he passes over other
valuable deposits. A prospector
armed with some knowledge of the
mode of occrrence of minerals, of
the use of the blowpipe, and of few
crude but useful tests, is more likely
to meet with success, and will as
surely waste less time than one lack
ing such advantages.
Here are few, not common, but
interesting instances, OF the indica-
tons that help to lead the observant
and trained eye to the goal it seeks:
In Michigan and Illinois, in the
United States of America, there is
a plant known locally as the lead
plant (Amorpha canescens.) 1t is a
low shrub, and is said to be only
found in the vicinity of lead lodes.
In Spain, convolvulos indicates
calcium phosphate.
In Rhenish Prussia, pansy
known to botanist as "Viola Gala
minaria, is only recognized in zinc
districts, and analysis has revealed
the presence of this metal in its
roots and flowers.
The wild asparagus of Romonia
grows only ner sulphur.
Coming nearer home it has been
shown that the color of eucalyptus
leaves is brighter near the alumite
rocks of Buladulla than that OF
others in the same neighborhood.
There are many discoveries made
by chance and mistakes, and many
by geological deductions. Cobalt
was discovered in Flintshire by
black stain that was first thought to
be manganese.
Copper was found in South Aus
tralia from examinatinn of green
mineral in borrowings of the wom-
bat. Diamonds in South Africa,
and gold in California were found
by chance. A geologist discovered
phosphate of lime in France by an
alyzing sand that was used to give
a violet color to bricks. Any mineral
of a peculiar appearance in district
should be carefully examined. For
years the great Comstock lode in
Nevada was worked for gold, and
the rich yellow sand, which event
ually turned out to be silver chloride,
was being thrown away. The Broken
Hill silver mine, / believe, was first
pegged out for tin. The porous
pumice ore of Mount Morgan was
sold for cleaning hearths before Its
value became known.-Mining and
Engineering Review.

Ella Eastman, e negro woman, charged with counterfeiting, was bound over by United States Commissioner w. K. Corn ish yesterday under a $500 bond.
 It is charged that the Eastman woman and John Mansfield, another negro. were engaged in counterfeiting silver coins in n cottage at 1413 Fourth avenue.

KILLED HER TO END
 HER WRONGDOING
JIM WINSTON SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR WIFE MURDER
 MADE NO pEFENsE-JERE DE. MOS GOES TO PRISON FOR LIFE.

Two negro wife slayers were found guilty of murder In the first degree In the Criminal Court yesterday and one will suffer death as a penalty while the other will be confined in the penitentiary for the rest of his natural life.
 Both the crimes were committed at Ensley and the murderers are Jere Demos and Jim Winston. The Demos case was called first and by hard fight his attorneys saved his life. the jury fixing his punishment at life imprison- ment.
 Winston had neither witnesses nor at- torneys when he appeared for trial as he said he was guilty and needed none. Judge Greene, however, appointed two lawyers to represent him and notwith- standing the difficulty of having a client who had confessed his guilt they made game fight but could not prevent the verdict of guilty and a sentence of death.
 The case of Winston Is peculiar in that he has from the time of his arrest stead fastly refused assistance claiming that he was guilty of murder. He told MT. - K. that he had killed his wife deliberately and was ready to suffer for it. He said his wife had been unfaithful and had left him. He learned she had gone to Ensley and arming himself with 0 revolver he went to look for her. Finding the wo- man in dive in a section of the town occupied by negroes he shot her dead. After she had fallen Winston fired three more bullets into the woman's prostrate form and shortly afterwards surrendered to the officers.
 When the grand jury met. Winston sent the foreman word that no witnesses need be summoned to indict him as he was guilty. When brought before Judge Greene for arraignment he still pro- claimed his guilt, and said he needed no attorneys. At the trial yesterday he told practically the same story. though he tried to justify his act to a certain de- gree by the fact that he had found his wife in a "dive."
 The Demos, case differed slightly from that of Winston, though he, also, admit ted his guilt to certain degree. As miti- gating circumstances, he claimed that he cut his wife's throat with a razor be- cause he loved her so. Demos did not mean that it was love lick that had caused his wife's death. but by killing her he hoped to prevent her from commit ting wrongful acts. The negro said Lula, his wife, had been untrue to him, and had transferred her affections to another man. He forgave her one time and brought her back to his home but within a few weeks she left again. and seeing that he could not help it. he secured a razor and cut her throat from ear to ear.
 When the jury fixed his punishment at life Imprisonment Demos was the hap piest man in the courthouse A death sem tence would not have surprised him.

BAPTISTS WILL
 BUILD NEW CHURCH
THE FIRsr CONGREGATION WILL START SUBSCRIPTION FOR THIS PURPOSE THANKSGIVING DAY. STRUCTURE To.cosT s5o,ooo.

During the next year members of the congregation of the First Baptist church will erect a new edifce. Plans have not been definitely made but the decision to build has been reached.
 The members of the congregation pro- pose that the building shall be modern and commodious. It will be constructed Of red brick, at an estimated cost of s50,OO0 and will cover the entire lot at Sixth avenue and Twenty-second street. The present wooden building will be torn away.
 Tine Sunday school room of the church will be erected first It will cover the southern part of the lot sand will be two stories high, with a basement The lat ter will be used as a dining room, a kitchen and kindergarten. The front will be arranged into nine separate school rooms and the second made a gen. erai assembly hall. This part of the building will cost about $12000.
 The main building will be arranged to accommodate about 1900 personfeand will be fitted up in modern style. The seats will be arranged so as to secure the best results from the acoustic properties
 The building fund will be given a start Thanksgiving day, at which time an ef- fort will be made to raise more than $4000. The Rev. Dr. Dickinson the pastor of the church. is confident that work will begin within the next six months and that the building will be completed during the year. There are 600 members fin the congregation and this number is being increased steadily. During the past three months seventy new members have been enrolled.
