Win Visit Italy.

Andrew Piccardo has sold his
saloon business on the jackson Gate
road to Charles Botto and Mario
Boro. The sale includes the good
will of the place. and the stock of
liquors and cigars, and saloon fix
lures. They have also leased the pre-
misses for a term OF four years. They
took possession last Monday. Mr.
Plccardo and his wife contemplate
taking trip to their native land,
Italy. They expect to start some
time in April: They left Italy about
g years ago, shortly after their
marriage. Mrs Piccardo's parents
are still living there, besides a
number of other relatives. Mr. Pic
cardo has also relatives In the old
country, whom he will be gratined to
see again. They expect to be away
several months. The freight business
from Martell's to jackson will still
remain in his hands, his son Louis,
will have charge of the same in his
absence. Mr.. Piccardo is one of the
most industrious and hardworking
men hereabouts, and Is entitled to
the needed rest involved in this CON-
templated trip to Europe.

Railroad Extension to Timber Belt.

1t is reported that Fayette Mace
has sold his land to D. Mccall, repre-
senting the capitalists who are buying
up the timber lands In the eastern
part OF the county. They have al
ready secured options on great
part of 1t, and have bought outright
considerable OF the land. The same
interests contemplate extending the
l. q X. Railroad to Bartons, and
thereby open up the vast timber
resources of that region for market
able purposes. It.begins to look as If
this scheme will be put through, and
that the coming summer will see the
enterprise take practical shape. Nc
Call intends to go out Of the business
OF running freight teams to supply
the mines with oil. And this leads
to the surmlse that he will have
work for the teams to do in grading
operations on line Of the proposed
extension. 1t is now ad-
nitted that the short haul VI fourteen
miles on the l. l. E. road precludes
The possibility of that line paying as
It now stands. 1t does not pay. and
,annot be made to pay. Even now
he passenger rates are the same as
lnder the old stage system, while
'reight rates have very little advant-
lge In cost over the former mule team
method OF transportation. Something |
must be done. An extension of the
inc 25 miles into the heart OF the
imber belt would increase the opera
ing expenses but little, while at the
anne time it holds out the induce.
nents OF vastly increased business
md higher freight charges.

THE FERRAScI POISONING.
Report Of Chemist Says Ptomaine
Poisoning.

The district attorney received this
week the full report of the analytical
chemist, Thos Price, of San Fran,
cicso. on the examination of the con.
tents of the victims of poisoning al
the Ferrasci residence several weeks
ago. The report is of considerable
length, but Is not available for publ
cation until after the. coroner's in
quest has been held. Substantially,
however, it gives the conclusion that
ptomaine poisoning was the cause OF
death. Ptomaine poison was found
In the stomach and the fluid contents.
1t does not state the precise nature
OF the poison, whether of animal or
vegetable origin, but the impression
prevails that 1t was In the beans.
There are two supposed sources OF the
poisoning-namely, the saiami and
beans. II the salami was the fatal
food, 1t would likely be q different
ptomaine than such as would be pro-
duced by poisoning from the beans.
The idea Is conveyed, that the poison
In the food, meeting with certain
conditions In the stomach, led to the
fatal results. A jar of the beans that
seemed sour and fermeDtinR was also
sent for examination. The contents
of this jar are pronounced by the
chemist as highly Injurious; that
should rabbit or other small animal
partake thereof, 1t would probably
die. How the poison develops Is not
explained. An intimation Is given
that it would he we'll to thoroughly
examine the soil in which these
particular beans were raised, to
ascertain If some noxious, poisonous
weeds we're not growing thereon.
This case is very important one,
and the coroner's inquest, which is
to be held In jackson on Monday
next at ten o'clock, will 60 into the
matter exhaustlvely, as matter OF
public protection.
The Canonica. girl is doing we'll,
and Is considered out Of danger. She
has not entirely recovered from the
terrible experience, however. She is
still subject to spells of dizziness,
but these are gradually becoming less
frequent and Of less severity. The
inquest on Mrs Canomica will be
held Immediately upon the termina-
tion of the inquisition on the Ferrasci
family victims.

Another Attachment Levied.

The interest OF Fortunate Paroli in
the Grotto saloon, opposite the bridge

attached on Wednesday on suit COM

Paroli gave his partner personal
note for S5OO for valuable consider

of SD per month. 1t came to his
partners knowledge that ParolI was
deeply In debt elsewhere. and he
began pressing for his money. We'd

MINING NOTES.

Oneida.-At this mine they are
prosecuting to strike the ore body at
the 26O0 level. While 20 stamps are
In motion, the outlook Of the pro-
perty Is not encouraging. The ore Is
OF low grade. 1t ia hoped that better
ore will be encountered on this lower
level. The company has perseyered
In the face of many discouragements,
spending large sums of money In a
thorough prospecting Of every portion
OF the mining ground extending from
the South Eureka on the north to the
Kennedy mine on the south.
keystone. This mine has been at a
standstill since last Friday night.
They were preparing to start up after
the re-establishment of eletric power
transmission, when Friday night the
air compressor became badly damag-
ed. bringing the underground opera
tions to standstill. The mine Is
being kept clear OF water as far as
possible. 1t will perhaps take two
or three weeks to repair the CON-
pressor machinery. Mr. Walsh, the
superintendent, started to San Fran
cisco to make arrangements for the
necessary repairs.
Zeila.-FulIy two-thirds Of the time
has been taken up with hoisting
water, which greatly increased on
account OF the continuous rains Of
the past month. The flow is Stacking
now, and IN short time will be
manageable easily.

dend has been increased from two to

Claude M. Smith to Wed.

The announcement is made in a
press dispatch from Carson City that
Claude M. Smith, now one of the
leading mining magnates of the
worldfamous Goldtield camp, will
soon join the order of Benedicts.
His attianced is Miss Evelyn Short,
Of Carson City, graduate of the
state normal schooi, beautiful and
accomplished young lady. 1t is re-
ported that the wedding is to take
place IN April next, and also that Mr.
Smith is preparing to erect S25, 900
mansion in Goldfield for home for
himself and bride. Claude Smith
was school teacher in this county
for several years. and in 1902 was
employed on the Ledger staff. On
going to the Southern Nevada Gold
field, he was one of the fortunate
ones who got In on the ground floor
in locating number Of the most
promising claims In the heart of the
Goldfield district. We are told that
he has some 40 leases on his claims.
Several are on the eve of the produc-
tion stage, and nearly all of them
are in what is regarded as the proven
zone Of pay ore. He bids fair to be-
come one of the multi-millionaries of
that camp. He is thoroughly reliable
in his business affairs, and this fact
gives him high standing In the CON-
munity. His office in Goldtield Is by
far the most handsomely fitted up in
the city. His many friends In ANA
dor and adjoining counties will be
pleased to hear OF the bright future
before him.

A Terrible Calamity.

Who has secured a good position
ins the telegraph Office of that city
Mrs Angove's mission to Grass Valley
was In consequence of dispatcl
stating that the home of her married
daughter, Mrs Il. H. Armstrong hac
been destroyed by fire early Saturday
morning, aud. all the members of the
family more or less burned. Nj
Armstrong Is the founder and presi
dent of the Grass Valley Business
College. His wife Is the oldes,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs Steve Angove
Of this city. They were married
about eight years ago, and have one
daughter Greha, about 6 years of age.
A press dispatch gives the following
particulars
At about 3 so'cIock Saturday morn.
ing Mrs Armstrong was awakened by
the smell of smoke and the roar of
namss and Immediately ran to the
room occupied by Mr. Armstrong on
the lower foor. Their little daughter
Greba, aged about 6 years, occupied q
room with her mother on the second
floor, while Mr. Armstrong slept on
the first floor. The smoke was blind
ino nnd kho Aouoo uoro aproo1ino r.,
every part of the house, but Mr. Arm
strong on learning that his daughter
was still IN the upper room, made a
dash for the place, and while he suc-
ceeded inssaving the little girl he was
so badly burned that 1t is feared he
cannot recover. In coming down the
stairway, Mr Armstrong lost his foot
Ing and fell to- the bottom of the
stairs, breaking the hall window and
receiving cut on his head three
inches In length. The fall threw the
little girl from his arms, but forum
ately she fell the entire distance and
received only slight scratch and a
burn on one arm. Mrs Armstrong Is
quite badly burned, but her injuries
are not considered dangerous.
The fire Is believed to have been
caused by detective fiue ana was
first noticed by Mrs John Hicks,
living next door. Mrs Hicks awoke
her husband = Superintendent of
Streets Hicks-who forced in aside
door Of the Armstrong house, and was
perhaps the means of saving the lives
OF the occupants. Miss Ethel Carter,
a daughter Of Mrs Hicks, was the first
to reach the hose house of Reliance
Hose company, and Justify rang the
alarm.
The house was owned by Mrs
Thomas Buckingham of Oakland and
was insured for $500. Mr. Arm
stronR's household goods we're cover
ed by insurance-of $500. The house
is a total loss, although the, lower
frame is still standing.
Mrs Armstrong, on discovering the
lire, passed the daughter to her hus-
band, and then wrapped quilt about
herself, and dashed down stairs. The
quilt was partially burned from her
body when she got to the bottom of
The stairs. Mrs Armstrong and

burned to death but for the act of
John Hicks, who broke In the side
door through which they escaped.
Whether Mr. Armstrong will survive
his injuries Is preblematical. A dis
patch from Grass Valley by Steve
Angove from his wife, states that Mrs
Armstrong andGreba we're only slight
y burned, and that. Mr. Armstrong
was doing as we'll as could be expect

Daring Burglary and Robbery.

A most daring robbery was COM
mitted early this morning at the
Piccardo saloon, on the road to Jack
son Gate. The affair was perpetrated
about five O'Clock, within one hour
of broad daylight. 1t Is supposed
there were at least two men engaged
IN this safe-cracking exploit. Less
than week ago PicoaIdo sold the
saloon business to Botto and Boro,
who had taken charge only three
days. No one was sleeping on the
premises. The burglars made an
entrance through the basement, by
saving through one of the iron bars
of the window, and then prying the
bar making an opening sufficient to
admit a mans body. Then the lar
door was opened to admit the con-
federates. Then the small iron safe,
weighing about 1000 pounds, was
rolled outside. Some explosive was
used, the report being heard in the
Piccardo dwelling only a hundred
yards or so distant. The explosion
seems to have blown the iron or steel
sheatling from the under portion Of
the safe. And they proceeded to dig
out the cement-or fire proof coating.
1t is supposed that while they we're at
this, they were scared off by the ap-
preaching daylight. They got only
g. % for their trouble. A few cigars
and bottle or two Of whiskey were
also taken. There was no money In
the safe anyway. This is the third
safe cracking venture at this saloon
within few year, and each time a
Friday was selected as the day. First
was the Gates hold-up; next the
burglars got In and captured $500.
Sheriff Gregory went out to investi-
gate this latest exploit as soon as he
was notified. So far no clews to the
perpetrators have been discovered.
