Ore at the Angel.

Charles Kinsley was in from the
Angel Wednesday and informs us
that the drift being run east on the
5O-foot level is all in ore and has
been for the past twenty-five or
thirty feet, the ore containing con-
siderable glance and red oxides,
Mr.. Kinsley says the vein is at
least five feet thick at present and
how much wider he does not know.
This will be good news to Angel
stockholders. We are informed
from New York that the
stockholders have arisen in their
wrath and fired Hathaway & Co.
and Diffenderfer q G. bodily and
started suit for an accounting from
these firms, both Of which have
acted as fiscal agents for the COM
pany and which are supposed to
have gotten away with no small
amount of the company's finances.
We are glad to note that the stock
holders have started in and will
endeavor to honestly determine
whether have q mine Or not.

 The fact that sine killed them was net disclosed until one by one, they were taken out, and then it was seen that every one of ttc little ones had it's head split open, while the cause O. the mothers death was seen in the gaping

Buffalo, N. Y. March .23-AIrs Alica Hull Burdick. widow of Edward l.. Burdicfl, underwent q r1erciiess exarl- ination by District Attorney Coats worth this afternoon at the resumption Of the inquest into the death of her husband, who was murdered on Feb ruary 26. Mrs. Burdick was on the stand when court adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. She then will be recalled to complete her testi- mony.
 With a package Of letters in h:s hands, some Of which were written 70 Mrs. Burdicl, by Arthur R. Penneu. cO respondent in the divorce proceedings instituted by Mrs. Burdick, and other communications Ibetween MT. Burdicll and his wife. Mr. CoatsWorth forced Mrs. Burdick to tell the story of her relations with Pennell from the time f.e first made love to her in New Haven in 1898 until 1901, when these relations were renewed after Burdick had for given his wife and had taken her back to his home for the sake of their cni.- drcn. Mrs. Burdjck was deathly pale while on the witness stand. She an swered the questions in low, falter-
 
 possible and reluctantly admitting facts when the district attorney. pitt Iessly read extracts of the love letters written to her by Arthur R. Pennell-
 Mrs. Burdicl. testified that she would be forty-two years of age on April %. She was married to Burdick in 1886 They had three children. She met Pen nell at a card party five or six years ago. at which NIT. Burdick was prssene. She went to New Haven and New York with the Pennells in 1896. MT. Burdicll did not go, being detained by business. No unusual friendship sprang up be- tween her and Pannen Witness did not recall a letter from Penrell written in New Haven in 1900 in which he said, Yesterday I was at the Gateway on the Campus Grounds. where, more than two years ago. l drew you to me in the darkness. This place is enshlined to me-"
 At this point Attorney HartZen, Mrs. BurdicA's counsel, asked what was the purpose of the questions. Judge Mur phy said he could object to her answer ing any questions that might hold Mrs. Burdick up to public ridicule. We do not wish to object, but We must insist that no unnecessary qUes- ticns will be asked" said Idr. Hartz=I.
 The district attorney produced the letter and handed it to the witness who trembled violently
 Do you recognize it as Penneil7 handwriting?"
 Yes" whispered Mrs. BUrdick.
 And you recall the incident now?"-
 Yes, sir
 - Mrs. Burdick. in recalling the incl dent, confessed that Pennell went into a doorway, drew her in, took her in his arms and kissed her. She thought she remonstrated. She did not remember that Pennell was at Shelter island ir September, 1900, nor letter from him in which he wrote her that he had found her gloves in the pocket of his Tuxedo. The letter was handed to her She read it hastily, and did not appear to enjoy it's contents. It was written by Pennell. she said. but she did not remember having seen it before. Mrs. Burdick was shown another letter from Shelter island, written in Septe4nb Der. 1900, and it was identified by her. She did not recall the Pennells telephoning her from New York as stated in the letter.
