NEWS OF LATEST
DISCOVERY.

Captain w. G. Cotter, of the
Golden Arrow, brought in glowing
reports from that section yesterday
and according to his statement, each
day witnesses important develop
ments in the property he is oper-
ating. He has encountered. ore at
depth of $50 feet, which is the
deepest point in that district.
About a week ago two drifts on
the 480-foot level penetrated ore
bodies" said Captain Cotter. THE
north drift from the shaft, which
Is out So feet, has three feet of
ore showing in the face while the
south drift, after travelling 3S feet,
struck a ten-inch vein. The latter
carries the best values, but both
lodges constitute good milling ore.
AS the work of prospecting the
veins has only been under way for
a few days, l am unable to deter
mine the extent of the lodges. We
are somewhat handicapped on ac-
count of water, but nevertheless the
development work is progressing
fairly we'll"
Captain Cotter also stated that
the ore on the lower level was
somewhat richer than that worked
on the third and fourth level, and
it is his opinion that development
will prove both veins up in a sat

BILL Is AIMED AT LARCENY.
Provides Punishment for Theft from
District Morkhouse.

Provision for Furnishing the larceny Of
public property from the workhouse and
-reformatoTy o. the District is sought in
a bill forwarded last night 10 the chair
man OF the Senate and House District
committees by the Commissioners. The
early consideration and passage Of the
bill is urged.
The object Of the proposed legislation as
outlined in the letter accompanying the
draft is to enable the District authorities
TO tSke action within the District or the
jurisdiction of the United states in cases
where escaping prisoners carry with them
the clothing provided them for their term
Of sentence, or other public property.
As the workhouse is in Virginia. it has
heretofore been impossible 10 prosecute
within the District, notwithstanding the
fact that the escaping prisoner may have
brought the stolen property here. A test
case was brought in the Court of Appeals
in November, resulting in a verdict for
the defendant. after which Corporation
Counsel Thomas was requested by the
Commissioners To draft new legislation.

Another event which increased political
excitement, in Essex County especially.
was a published formal statement by AS
