The Manila Freedom Of April con.
tains an account, written by Charlton
B. Perkins OF Calsmba OF the execution
OF five Filipino murdsrers at that place
on April 8. The men had conspirsd
together and had murdered Honorato
Quisumbing, presidente at Los Banos.
AS the following extracts show, the men
met their fate with nerve and unninch.
ingly: Before the black hood was
placed over their heads they were given
permission to speak to the crowd. Per.
fecto Alviar, who held the rank Of
Lieutenant Colonel in General Cailles
command, spoke In clear distinct
voice, interpreted, BY the Official inter-
prefer, as follows: ITO the public, SEQ
the predicament we are In, and con-
fess that am guilty Of the crime which
| am about to be punished for, but 90
have confessed to this crime, sm now
ready to die peacefully and happily"
The next to speak was Tsodoro La.
cerua alias "Calina" who said: II
am guilty Of the crime having confessed
! hope haye no enemies and am now
ready to die happily"
The remaining three had nothing to
say.
The handouts were there removed BY
Corporal Zimmerman, and the black
caps were placed in position and light
was obscured from their vision for ever,
not the slightest signs Of weakness or
emotion was shown by the condemned
men, each standing In his position
without assistance.
While Periecto Alvisr's legs were be-
ing bound he asked the soldiers not TO
bind him SO tight, saying; "thers is no
use shall soon die." As the cap was
was placed over his head he showed
some signs OF temper knd said 10 the
man securing the hood, "Poco tempe
you die."
Several thousand natives gathered to
witness the hanging ticking up every
point OF vantage In the immediate
vicinity OF the scaffold.
The execution was to be as public a.
possible owing to the fact the prisoners
we're to be hanged for the murder Of one
Of their own people.
Late In the afternoon the bodies were
placed in the church yard, where short
services were held and then they we're
conveyed TO the cemetery, where at least
three thousand people had gathered.
When the collins were opened, hundreds
OF men and women went forward and
kissed the corpses, evidently looking up
on thein as martyrs or heroes Of the day.
The moral effect will surely have great
influence upon the inhabitants In the

THE RISING STAR.
A Quartz Mine of Growing Inn
portance in the Williams
District,

One OF the very important quartz
properties OF Southern Oregon and one
that has been coming to the front as a
mine OF prominence and worth, is the
Rising Star, In the Williams district.
This mine is owned and operated by
the Champion Gold Mining Co., Geo.
st. John, manager, which also controls
several other good quartz properties,
notably the Champion and the Ex
cheQuer, IN the same district. The
company is incorporated and the mines
are stocked and on the market.
The Rising Star has just finished a
mill run OF several months duration and
the owners are now making extensive
preparations for improving and enlarg.
ing the equipment and increasing the
working facilities Of the mine.
The mine is now equipped with Ave.
stamp mill and 1t is very probable that
five more stamps will be added in the
near future. A steam hoist and air
compresslng machines will be installed
and are now on the road from Denver.
There are two machines for COMPRISING
air. Some big drills, three inches in
dismeter, will be operated 10y the new
machinery.
The Rising Star has about 1900 feet Of
tunnels and shaft and the greatest depth
attained is about $50 feet. The ore AT
this depth presents most favorable
appearance and carries high values,
mostly in sulphurets though there ia
some free gold. The vein is about four
feet in width and lies in contact oil
slate and porphyry. The ore varies in
values up to 5000 per ton.
The ore Of the Rising Star is OF the
same general character as that Of nearly
all the other mines in that distli let; the
Champion, Exchequer, Golconda,
Mountain Lion, Midnight and others.
The rich strike lately made at the
Mountain Lion attracted good deal oil
attention TO all OF these properties as the
similarity IN ore, formations and assay
values is such as TO warrant an expecta.
ton Of a like similarity in profit when
all these properties are dev, loped and
worked.
The Exchequer, another property
owned by the Champion cold Mining
Coz is presenting most excellent
appearance and the company intends to
sink on the vein to depth Of 800 feet.
An important strike was made here
several weeks ago, the ore being plenti.
fully besprinkled with free gold.
All these mines are tributary to
Grarts Pass, which Is their railroad
point aud base Of supplies and are from
II 10 20 miles distant from this city.
