The apparently listless attitude Of
the state government Of Kentucky to.
ward the might rider" outrages
which but lately. terrified the populace
md brought disgrace on the state, has
been subject Of more or less COM
ment. The vigorous manner IN which
the state Of Tennessee took up the
might rider" offenses made the Ken.
lucky position seem the, more lndif-
ferent by contrast. Citizens OF the
Blue Grass State undenlabily lacked
the protection Of life and property to
which they were entitled at the hands
of the state, and their only apparent
recourse for safety lay In removal to
a more peaceful section Of the country
which recourse some Of them chose.
Now, however, that extraneous cir
cumstances have put a stop to the de-
yastatalon which the state failed to
check. It Is but natural that the suf.:
ferers should look somewhat for re.
dress. What must have been their
feelings when the Supreme Court OF
Kentucky decided that insurance can
not be collected on property burned by
might riders!" The losers are not
permitted to sue the state or county

WASHINGTON, June 25.-When
the senate adjourned at tonight
Senator Aldrich predicted that by to-
morrow night all the tariff schedules
would be out of the way leaving the
senate free to begin consideration of
the corporation and income tax
amendments. Penrose presented an
amendment fixing a duty of one-half
cent a gallon on crude oil. After
considerable debate it was defeated
by vote of "a to 40. During the
discussion of the oil amendment
Flint expressed the opinion that the
producers of California would be
driven out of business if the duty on
oil wasn't levied Cummins opposed
the amendment. saying he didn't be-
lieve the producers of this country

gestion and intention to repeat the

jerks CASE WILL GO
TO THE JURY TODAY

The jerks case is drawing to a
close. Yesterday afternoon was spent
in hearing evidence, while the night
session was taken up by the argu-
ment of counsel for the plaintiff. P.
NJ Bowler, Jr., occupied nearly four
hours in his argument in behalf of
jerks after which the court declar-

Meanwhile the jury is locked up, in

vening of court this morning, counsel

tions will follow and the case will
likely reach the jury by this after
noon.
The court room was crowded last
evening when Mr.. Bowler began his
argument. 1t was perhaps the most
scathipg denunciation of bankers and
the methods employed in their bus
mess that was ever heard in court
room in this state.

While the Cliffords and Nays were
quietly but energetically perfecting
titles with the view of precluding all
possibility of future litigation over
their phenomenally rich and vast
holdings at Salisbury Wash, H. j..
Wildgrube, Messrs. Stimler, Marsh
and others were stalking and develop
ing promising ground at Georges

early as January it was rumored that
several strikes had been made in the
vicinity of the latter, but the Cliff
ford excitement was on at the time,
deep snow covered the hills, and as
further reports failed to follow,

and others had gold all right, but
threatened lawsuits had the same ef-
feet on them at that late day as 1t
had on the Cliffords and Nays in the
beginning. and, after the latter. the
former patterned their mode of pro-
cedure.

is extremely heavy, somewhat silici-
fed, and universally stained by iron.
Free gold is found, and has been un-
covered in quantity at a dozen points
along the dyke, in northeast and
southeast fractures, and occurs in a
mixture of quartz and porphyry and
hematite. In the softer material the
sulphides have completely oxidized
but in the true quartz the sulphides
are intact, though assay returns run
about the same. The fissures vary
in width from a few inches to six
feet, and are easily traced for hun
dreds of feet. In places it is appar-
ent that the porphyry was too mas
sive for the eruptive forces, and the
gold-bearing solutions merely reach
ed and stained the surface without
depositing much silica. but made it
possible for the prospector to follow

Wherever holes have been sunk,
mainly through location work, the
assures rapidly widen with depth as
the ore increases in value. At sew
eral points, blotches of gold can be
searched out in the walls. At one
place tunnel was driven on a knife
blade streak, and at a depth of fif-
teen feet under ground eight inches
of high grade ore are exposed. Wild
grube has had assays from SO to
$120 in gold from ores taken over a
wide area, and paintings denoting
values as high as $500 and $1,000
frequently have been secured.
The other discoveries in the new
district have been made in open
ground, away from dykes. the ores

postponed because there were certain
witnesses living at a considerable

prosecution desired to have in at
