NO RAILROAD To JACKSON.

1t may now be definitely stated
that jackson will not be railroad
terminus tor some time. All hope OF
the speedy completion of the lone
and Eastern railroad to this town was
dissipated last Saturday jackson
Dennis, one of the promoters of the
road, was in town Oh that day, and
was met by two of the committee rep
resenting the business interests,
namely, Fred Eudy and Chris Marelia.
He was asked as to the status of the
negotiations for the extension of the
road to this point. He stated that
it was up to the people of jackson,
conveying the idea that if the citizens
forced the right of way, the company
would build to this point W. Dennis
was not authorized by the company
to undertake the forcing of the right
of way; that his actions in that regard
we're not binding on the managers of
the road; and also said that he un-
derstood that before W. Dennis left
the whole matter was referrd back to
the committee repr presenting the town.
From this it would appear that the
whole thing has collapsed for the time
being at least. Nohing is being done
in the way of grading toward jackson.
The terminus will stay at Martell's,
until something turns up to cause the
company to build to the two termlni
called for in the application for fran
chise, namely, Jckson and Sutter
Greek.

THE LANCHA PLANA MURDERS.

No new developments have been
made known the past week towards
the unIavelment of the double murder
mystery at LaDcha Plana The people
of that town have raised sum of
nearly $500 as reward for the cap
ture and conviction of the murderer
or murderers of Mrs. Williams and
her grandson, Chester Maker. Sheriff
Norman and district attorney Vicini
went to Sacramento early this week,
and interviewed the governor for the
purpose of offering reward in behalf
of the state. 1t is said the state will
offer $3.50. The board of supervisors
will be asked to supplement this
with like amount.
Notwithstanding that efforts have
been made in certain quarters to make
a great deal out of the discovery of a
knife near the scene of the killing,
there is not the slightest import
ance to be given to that knife pro
position. 1t was a white handled
knife, old and rusty, to all appear
anoes had not been used for years.
That such an instrument had any
connection with the tragedies was
discarded at once by the officers;
there were no initials on the knife.
A reporter named Brennan, repres-
enting the Examiner, was in jackson
Saturday. He wanted to interview
the Indian Dan Barry. The sheriff
refused to let him see him. This is the
same reporter who wired the yellow
stories to the yellow paper some two
years ago about the officers in connec-
tlon with the hunt for the Folsom
escapes. On Sunday there appeared
in the Examiner dispatch from
Jackson, the principal point of which
was the exhibition of the reporter s
spleen in being refused access to the
prisoners confined in Jail, among
other things it said:
Yet Sheriff Norman who was on the
scene as quickly as possible, and who
was under instructions to make a
thorough examination, found nothing
that would point to the murderers.
His reports to district attorney
Vicini have been meager and unsatis-
factory, and the only one bit of evil
dence that might possibly he con-
nected in the case he discarded and
left behind him out in the mountains.
This was the knife that was found
and placed in his hands. 9.
Berry explains this by saying that
he did not want to go to camp on ac-
count of the fact that the Indians
were drunk and he was afraid of get
ting into a fight. With clever officer
to frame the facts into case, Berry
would have some serious explana-
tions to make. But Amador county
is without that clever officer. Norman
is not capable of doing more than he
he has done.
In justice to sheriff Norman, it may
be said that he has done all that any
officer could do under the oircum-
stances, and has been ably assisted by
near by constables. The Examiner is
on the down grade path, and such
uncalled for remarks, whether promp-
ted by malicious reporters or disap-
pointed politicians, are not calculated
to raise that discredited sheet in
public favor.
Dan Barry, the Indian, was liber-
ated yesterday. there being nothing
to warrant his further detention.
Sheriff Norman is still out working
up every clew that promises soIu-
tion OF the crimes. He is by no means
without hope of tracing the murders
to the perpetrators.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "LOV5"

The Landlady, the Psychologist ana
Some Others Attempt Definition.
"What is lover" was the burning
question asked by the company OF
Immortals.
Love" said the landlady, lis that
power so subtle as to defy analysis
which draws two people together who
cannot afford it, and enables me to I'LL
my third-story front"
Love" said the society woman, lis
the alliance of two families in such
manner as to produce the fewest Off
spring and then cut the greatest
swath."
Said the psychologist: Love is
that set of sensations which, finding
their way through the atferent nerves,
stimulate certain ganglionis centers Of
the occipital portion of the brain, and
extend upward through the higher
areas of cerebral consciousness. 1t is
purely subjective in its action, and
while it has no regular synthesis, be
ing extremely diverse In all OF Its as
poets. 1t seems to be subject to some
higher defnitive law as yet under
mined"
Said the college graduate: Love
is the supreme folly"
Said the octogenarian: Love is eter-
nal"
Said the theologian: Love is that
divine force, coexistent with Jehovah,
that has dwelt in the hearts of men
since the shepherds have watched
their focks, and which enables us to
force every one to believe in our own
particular views, even If we have to
dot 1t with the edge of the sword"
Said the actress: Love Is the an
gel-with plenty Of money"
Said the bachelor: Love is an
amusement"
Said the married man: Love is the
dearest thing in the world. It's the
only thing that prevents me from liv
ing within my income"
Said the widow: Love is constant
in its change"
Said the dressmaker: "Withou
love l should go out Of business. Love
paws all my bills."-Life.

Just as l crossed what is now Divi ion

the point, and making no attempt or

established reputation then and there
which entities him to high rank.

The Use of X-Rays in Mining

A novel illustration of the appli- cation of Rontgen or X-Rays io mining was illustrated in some re- cent interesting experiments made in the Electrical Engineering Laboratory of the Van der Naillen schools at San Francisco.
 A number of samples of gold bearing quartz ore were placed on an ordinary holder containing d sensitized plate. This was exposed to the influence of the rays from an ordinary Crookes tuoe for about l5 minutes. When the plate was developed, it showed the metal contained in the quartz in its natural crystalline form, as if il were suspended in ssacc, the quartz surrounding it being but faintly discernible. Samples where none of the metal could be seen on the surface were thus shown to contain considerable value interiorly.
 This method will prove valuable in Mineralogical Research, as it shows the actual state in which the metal exists in the quartz, which can be shown in no other way. By the comparison of the different densities in u e shadow graphs thus obtained, it is possi- ble to tell also the prese nee in the ore of lead, iron and sulphur pyrites.

As can be inferred from the prices secured by the buyers, black foxes are not plentiful in any part of the world. Less than 100 belts are taken ill year from the entire earth. On some years the number has dwindlcd to 30. Of late the captures have been more plentiful though a man can hunt for locg time in any place without casting his eyes upon black fox, and as seeing is not equivalent to securing, many men who have looked at black foxes running away have nevershot one.
