GAsP|PE THUG IS
HELD To ANSWER

Manuel Alonzo, the gaspipe thug who
assaulted Jeweler H. c.. Ahlers in his
store, 1850 Sutter street, a month ago,
must stand trial in the Superior Court
on two charges, one for assault to COM
to commit robbery. At the conclusion
of the arraignment of the accused yes
terday, Judge Shortall fixed his bonds
at $4,000 for each offense, and as the
prisoner was unable to procure the
necessary amount, he was turned over
to the custody of the Sheriff.
determined effort was made by At
torney Greeley, counsel for Alonzo, to
have the more serious of the charges
dismissed ons the ground that, as but
one offense had been committed, the
man could be accused of but one crime.
After lengthy argument. the court
sustained the position Of the people
and the hearing of both charges was
continued.
AlonZo's defense through his prelim-
mary hearing was on the ground that
he was driven to desperation by lack of
the necessaries of life and that he at
tempted to. commit the crime while In
fit of temporary insanity. His partly
clad wife and three daughters, the old
est but s years of age, were constant
attendants in the courtroom. Their
pitiable condition attracted much SYM
pathy from both spectators and at
taches in the courtroom. The parting
of the prisoner and his family as the
former was being led out to the Sher-
ifs van was heartrending.

WILL MINE WITH DREDGER
Steam shovel to Operate on Placer
Ground South of Ida

GOLDFIELD, Feb. S.-A tract of
about 500 acres has been acquired by
a company called the Esmeralda Con-
soIidated, at the head of which are w.
H Wells of New York and w. H.
Weber. The land is at the head of
Tule Canyon, about seven miles south
of Ida, and covers placer land and nu-
merous lodges from which values have
been secured. The placer ground will
be worked with an immense dredger,
equipped with a steam shovel, which<is
ready to be hauled to the property as
soon as the roads become passable The
dredger has a capacity of 800 yards of
dirt day. Some large nuggets have
been found on the ground, one having
been sold for $500. This placer ground
ranges from ten to thirty-five feet to
bedrock and shows uniform values
throughout. An abundance of water
has been found at bedrock. Other
dredgers will be added to the equip
ment and both placer and quartz min
ing will be prosecuted on an extensive
scale.

Mining Stocks Rebound
and Prices Are Higher

Blair Railroad will soon be ex-
tended by way of Montezuma to Ida
and to a connection near the Gold
Mountain district with the road from
Goldf1eld to Rhyolite.
Some of the greatest mining men and
interests in the country have centered
their efforts upon the Silver Peak dis
trict, of which the town of Blair is the
camp and terminus of the railway
which connects with the Tonopah road
at Coaldale Senator William A. Clark
of Montana, Charles NJ. Schwab, the
Blairs and the divers of the Pittsburg
Silver Peak Company are among the
chief operators. The old Drinkwater
mine, which shipped it's output to the
coast in wagons and on muleback In
the early days, has been acquired by
the oliver crowd and is said to have
$2,000,0 900 worth of ore blocked out
in readiness for the 100-stamp mill, for
the foundation of which two Burleigh
drills and fifty men are now employed
in eXcavating.
Another great property of the district
is that for which Lynch and OMeara of
Tonopah fame some six months ago
paid but few thousand dollars and in
which they have in that time blocked
out over 100000 worth of ore. All the
ores of the district are free milling.

DECLARES WILLARD
J MUST HANG

That a man can be adjudged insane
and still be held responsible for his
acts was the important ruling made by
the State Supreme Court yesterday in
the case of the people against Frank
Willard, who was found guilty of mur-
der in the first degree for having
killed J. H. Smith, Sheriff of Mendo-
cino County, December %, 1905. When
the Judge was signing the commit
ment of Willard to the insane asylum
the latter jumped to his feet and de-
clared angrily that he was not insane.
He started to run from the courtroom
and the Sheriff started after him.
Willard turned around deliberately
and shot the official dead. AS a result
of the decision of the Supreme Court
willard must be sentenced to death
The murderer was a victim of al
coholism, which caused him to believe
that he had been appointed by the
President and Governor Pardee as a
peace officer. His insanity was linn
tied to that belief.and twice before the
crime he had served terms in the asy-
lum and was discharged each time as
a fit person to be at large He was
generally considered bad man in
Mendocino County, and after the kill
ing mob would have put an end to
him had it not been for the interfer-
ence of a number of armed citizens.
The Supreme Court in deciding the
case of Wizards mental responsibility
made the following statement:
There are many kinds and degrees
of insanity, and it is not every kind or
degree which will relieve a person
from such responsibility. and the de-
gree of mental impairment which
would authorize his confinement in an
asylum for the insane may be entirely
different from the mental arrangement
which would relieve him from respon-
sibility for his criminal acts.

PLANS NEW ROAD
TO SACRAME
Vallejo Electric Company
Reveals Purpose in Filing
of Amended Articles
BOAT LINE ON BAY

VALLEJO, Feb. S.-The Vallejo and
Northern Railway Company, which was
incorporated to build electric line
seventy miles long from Vallejo to
Woodland. by way Of Cordelfa, Napa
Junction, Suisun and Fairfield. has
filed amended articles providing for
the extension of the road to Sacra
mento. The proposed line is to be los
miles long
The new plan is to place Suisun and
Fairfield on a branch road, and the
through route, which will traverse the
Junction Canyon north to Vallejo, will
run straight to Vacaville, Woodland
and Sacramento. The road will have
it's water terminal in this city and will
place four of the fastest steamers in
operation on the bay in service be-
tween Vallejo and San Francisco. This
will give a pleasant and quick SER
vice on an almost direct line by land
and water from the State capital to
the metropolis.
The company will have it's car barns,
power house and head Offices in VAL
leio. It was stated today by person
close to the company that construction
work would begin early in April and
that fourteen months would see the
road between Vallejo and Woodland
