The Evidence Does Not Indicate Steele Murdered Chappel. .The preliminary examination of David Steele on a charge of murdering Peter Chappel took place Friday even. ’ ing in Justice Wadsworth’s court and resulted in the defendant being held for trial with bail fixed at $3,000. District Attorney Nilon appeared for’ the people, the accused being represented by Messrs. Caldwell &Little. » Dr. Carl Muller testified as to the natureofthe wound, Mr. Nilon gave evidence as to the dying statement of Chappel. Ole Helgerson testified that Steele had borrowed a revolver from him just previous to the shooting. E.T. Worthley testified that he went to the stable with Chappel to put up the latter’s horse; that asthey were returning to the hotel Steele stepped up to Chappel and asked if he had said he would kill Steele on sight ; that witness walked along, leaving them together, and thinks (but is not absolutely positive) that he heard Chappel respond, ‘‘Yes, and I mean it.”’ George Olsen and Hassell Worthley, who are lads, were also put on the ‘stand, bat they could tell nothing of importance. _ The only witnesses called by tha,defense were Lavinia Kane and Alice Mills, inmates of the Rocky Bar house, who swore that three or four weeks before the shooting Chappel went to the house, kicked ‘in a door and raised a viclent disturbance generally, and then and there said to them that he would kill Steele. It is quite plain that unless the. testimony at the trial is materially different from that drawn out at the examination, Steele will never be convicted of the crime with which he stands charged, ! Washington Whist Club. A very enjoyable meeting of the Washington Whist Club was held Friday evening at the home of Miss Bertha Webber on West Broad street. The first. honors fell to Miss Corinne Tower and Carroll Crawford by a score of 47 points won and 17 lost. Booby honors were captured by Miss Myrtis Charles and Bert Dickerman by the hitherto unequaled score of 62 points lost and 8 won. The winners of the first prizes received: handsome presents and the booby prizes created much mirth. After the game refreshments were served and weré tnuch appreciated by the club. Dancing was next on the progr m. Amador Ceunty Live Steck. A Nevada county man while inspecting the Amador county mineral exhibit at the State Fair picked up a chunk of ore to examine it more closely. As he turned it over he discovered two fat and lazy bedbugs nesthiding on the under side. Since the first premium has heen awarded to the Amador display he has been how!)ing around vigorously that Nickerson, superintendent of the Nevada county exhibit, should be docked half his compensation for failing to take alony an assortment of bedbugs to stand off Amador with. It is unanimously admitted that Nevada county bedbugs are world-beaters. Banquet te Bishop Manegue. Prominent residents of Sacramento have tendered a grand banquet to Right. Rev. Bishop Manogue, in consideration of his eminent services in advancing the prosperity o' the State capital of California and in providing that city with the new Catholic Cathedral—the most magnificent religious structure on the Pacific slope.

The Gold Bank Tunnel. Francis N, Byrne states that during his recent stayinthe East he met in the work of promoting, the Gold Bank Tunnel enterprise, and hethinks he is in a fair way to securea working capital of $300,000,000 with which to carry itabead. He says that he will remain here about four weeks, then go via New.York to Lendon; England, to perfect the plans. : Death of Mrs. Williams, The widow ol the late John L.

The Good Fortune Which Puiu w ed, It affords me great pleasure to scud to you this voluntary statement of my experience in testing the merits of Joy's: Vegetable SarsaParilla, For the past five yearsI have been troubled with an exceedingly sluggish lver, {ncluding loss of appetite and distress after eating, pains in the back and kidneys, and boils around my neck and face, I tried many liver remedies, only getting temporary relief. I was recommended to try a bottle of “The California Remedy” Joy’s Vegetable SarsaParilla as a test, and while taking the first bottle I became convinced of its merits, for I could feel it was working a change in me. T took five bottles,.and during that time my troubles left me, Everything is working ful} and regular, in fact it has cleansed, purified and braced me up generally.

Honest Miner (ts Mr. Hayreed)— ‘Hello, Johnny, are you looking for the Valley Counties that exhibited their agricultural and horticultural products atthe Stats Fair?) They are in the soup, where we put them! SIERRA COUNTY MINES. Seme Notes About Them From the News Letter. The Independence shaft, above Sierra City, was, at last accounts, burning, and the mouths ofall the Sierra Buttes tunnels, filled with gas, had to be boarded up to prevent further spread of the flames. One hundred men were discharged on September Ist, leaving only thirty to prospect in No. 2tunnel near the ridge summit. Some Mexicaris lately discovered rich croppings, and traced them for milea directly below and beyond the snowclad peaks of the Sierra Buttes, 8,850 “feet above the level of the sea. These will undoubtedly, in time, fall into the hends of the Sierra Buttes Co., as the ground at that altitude can only be worked with profit through their tunnels. Times in Sierra City are necgssarily dull,-but-the—prospect_is fair that it ison the eve ofanother era of prosperity. At present forests are adame on all sides, and the atmosphere is clouded with smoke and dust, at times nearly obscuring the sunlight, A good showerNs very much needed to purify the air and exting-. uish the fires, : The Bald Mountain Extension tunnel, crossing the pliocene ridge, three miles northeast of Forest City, is in nearly 3,300 feet with the facein very soft white slate and bedrock slightly moist, the same formation exactly as that under the richest part of the channel, worked near Forest City, This indicates tat the lead must be near, promising handsome dividends for the worthy and ‘persevering stockholders in the near future. The Wallis Consolidated Co., whose ground lies a short distance beyond the extension, further northeast up the ridge, has lately struck. some fine-looking blue. colored gravel, with their incline, and they are following the bedrock down to where these plucky miners-will assuredly be rewarded. with large and continuous clean-ups of gold. This will be convincing evidence that an auriferous channel extends through the Extension and the Wallis Consolidated, and, probably, to. the Savage locations, owned by Nevada and. San Francisco capitalists, where already a large sum has been expended in partial development. The Keystone quartz mine and other locations, recently purchased and eonsolidated by Senator M. H. Mead, are located about three miles south of the Sierra Buttes quartz mine, but in one of the finest porphyry mountains in the State. These valuable ledges have a very promising outl can, undoubtedly, be made one of the most profitable mining properties in Northern California, The Keystone by whom it was worked for many years, and subsequently by other parties until 1887. The greatest depth attained] is 700 feet, the lust 500 feet being m ade through a shaft at great expense, steam power costing as high as $75 a day. The. stoppage in operations was caused by insufficient machinery to handle the water, and lack of enterprise on the part of the owners. The pay chutes are 600 feet long; the longest tunnel on the vein is 1,000 feet, average widtli of vein, three feet. The vein is a trae fissure, nearly perpendicular; hanging wall, slate ; foot wall, porphyry. Abhout $900,000 ha been taken out in all, the ore averaging $10 aton, At the Martin quartz mine,. 400 feet above. the Keystone, through a shaft 60 feet deep, 200 tons of rock have .been extracted and milled, yielding $10.80 a ton. A tunnel taps the ledge 200 feet below the croppings, ten feet wide, where’ six tons of ore milled $6:50 a ton. Adjoining are locations on which but dittle work has been done. A large vein of good-looking quartz runs through them. It is the intention of the owner to run a tunnel from the Yuba river along this vein to the Keystone and Murtin mines, and he may find numerous pay chutes and cut several cross ledges. The length of this proposed tunnel to the Keystone chutes will be 7,500 feet. There is an abundance of water. to propel all needed machinery. ——————EEEEEes An Underhand Game.

How a Nevada Cityanese Brings a Grass Vaileyan to Time. The Telegraph publishes the TRanscript’s account of the dismissal of the case of the people against W. J. Carter of Graes Valley and adds: The case grew out of the romantic attachment of Mrs. Goad of Nevada City for Carter, under which about a year since she delivered to him divers articles, including a gold watch, she claiming that they were deliveged in trust and he claiming that they tere a wedding gift from his proposed _ bride. The marriage never came off, but instead the defendant went off and married a younger and handsomer woman, and left this county to reside in Alaineda. Last week a warrant was sent to Deputy Sheriff Jamieson of Alameda county, who found the defendant working in a quarry. “‘Won’t you let n.e go home and change my clothirg?” asked. the prisoner. , a : “Certainly,” replied the urbane officer, and they both went to the defendant’s residence where they found the door locked. “T will go around back and open it from the inside,”’ suggested Carter. “All right,” replied the officer. Carter‘‘went around hack,’’ but he never opened the door. On the contrary,when the Sheriff werit around to see what’ delayed Carter the prisoner had disappeared in the brush. aged to communicate with his wife requesting her to go to her folks in Grass Valley and prepare for his defense. ‘Tell them,” he said, “‘to lave the Grass—Valley lawyer who. defended Lord on his first trial—I forget his name.’”’ Ct Carter’s father-in-law promptly laid the matter before Attorney, Burrows, and: that gentleman decided it would be better to compromise with Mrs: Goad than to risk a trial, for said he, “She is no doubt very bitter and will swear like sheol if it comes to trial; besides she may have him arrested on a higher charge which would be a State prison offense.” An interview with the widow Goad showed that the complainant had blood in her eye and she scornfully refused the offer of settlement. Coaxing had no effect and argument proved useless. “‘Well,’”’ said the attorney as a last shot, ‘‘you have no dead thing anyhow,and I propose to clear him before ajury. They will no doubt agree that you were silly and soft on Carter and presented hiin withthe watch. I propose to have some fun with you as a witness.” **How much can. you.pay me?’ suddenly asked the widow. “One hundred and twenty-five dollars and a note for $50 more,”’ was the answer. ‘Well, I guess I’ll take it,” was, the response, “‘but you must also pay the costs.”” “Very well,” wasthe answer, “but let us go and see the Justice.” At hia Honor’s court the presence of the District Attorney was secured and soon matters were arranged satisfactory to the widow, the State and the defendant.

The Mining and Scientific Press says: Some of the hydraulic mines in the U.S. of Colombia, Which are owned by residents of London, have been paying very well of late, notably the Colombian Hydraulic Co. and the Orita Hydraulic Co. The shares of the two concerns stand at about 100 per cent premium in the market. The former, on a capital of £75,000, has ‘realized £25,449, of which” the profit. was £16,447, or 64 per.cent of the gross returns. In the past 2h years the company has returned half the nominal capital in dividends. English capitalists are much interested iv this class of mines, but of course no longer invest in them in this State, though they hunt them upelsewhere. It is of interest to note that an English firm which manufacture fireengines, etc.; have devised an engine for throwing a stream against.a gravelbank, so that-water can be taken from any depth below where it is wanted, reservoired and brought to bear on any given spot. . The apparatus is simply a modification of that used by the London fire brigade. The monitor ig mounted’on a carriage and can be directed at any angle close to the bank, or removed from it, with ease. Power is’ obtained ‘from a boiler-such as is used in torpedo boats. The monitor will throw a jet 250 feet above the position from which it is’ worked. The capacity of the pumps is about 1600 gallonsa minute. A feature ‘of this engine, and one to Which considerable importance is to be attached, is this: That it may, in the firat place, be used to pump water froma river miles distant into a reservoir; and then, with the same appliance, this water can be brought to bear upon any given spot as desired, Thinks He's In Love.

Worthley testified that he went to the stable with Chappel to put up the latter’s horse; that asthey were returning to the hotel Steele stepped up to Chappel and asked if he had said he would kill Steele on sight ; that witness walked along, leaving them together, and thinks (but is not absolutely positive) that he heard Chappel respond, ‘‘Yes, and I mean it.”’ George Olsen and Hassell Worthley, who are lads, were also put on the ‘stand, bat they could tell nothing of importance. _ The only witnesses called by tha,defense were Lavinia Kane and Alice Mills, inmates of the Rocky Bar house, who swore that three or four weeks before the shooting Chappel went to the house, kicked ‘in a door and raised a viclent disturbance generally, and then and there said to them that he would kill Steele. It is quite plain that unless the. testimony at the trial is materially different from that drawn out at the examination, Steele will never be convicted of the crime with which he stands charged, !

They are in the soup, where we put them! SIERRA COUNTY MINES. Seme Notes About Them From the News Letter. The Independence shaft, above Sierra City, was, at last accounts, burning, and the mouths ofall the Sierra Buttes tunnels, filled with gas, had to be boarded up to prevent further spread of the flames. One hundred men were discharged on September Ist, leaving only thirty to prospect in No. 2tunnel near the ridge summit. Some Mexicaris lately discovered rich croppings, and traced them for milea directly below and beyond the snowclad peaks of the Sierra Buttes, 8,850 “feet above the level of the sea. These will undoubtedly, in time, fall into the hends of the Sierra Buttes Co., as the ground at that altitude can only be worked with profit through their tunnels. Times in Sierra City are necgssarily dull,-but-the—prospect_is fair that it ison the eve ofanother era of prosperity. At present forests are adame on all sides, and the atmosphere is clouded with smoke and dust, at times nearly obscuring the sunlight, A good showerNs very much needed to purify the air and exting-. uish the fires, : The Bald Mountain Extension tunnel, crossing the pliocene ridge, three miles northeast of Forest City, is in nearly 3,300 feet with the facein very soft white slate and bedrock slightly moist, the same formation exactly as that under the richest part of the channel, worked near Forest City, This indicates tat the lead must be near, promising handsome dividends for the worthy and ‘persevering stockholders in the near future. The Wallis Consolidated Co., whose ground lies a short distance beyond the extension, further northeast up the ridge, has lately struck. some fine-looking blue. colored gravel, with their incline, and they are following the bedrock down to where these plucky miners-will assuredly be rewarded. with large and continuous clean-ups of gold. This will be convincing evidence that an auriferous channel extends through the Extension and the Wallis Consolidated, and, probably, to. the Savage locations, owned by Nevada and. San Francisco capitalists, where already a large sum has been expended in partial development. The Keystone quartz mine and other locations, recently purchased and eonsolidated by Senator M. H. Mead, are located about three miles south of the Sierra Buttes quartz mine, but in one of the finest porphyry mountains in the State. These valuable ledges have a very promising outl can, undoubtedly, be made one of the most profitable mining properties in Northern California, The Keystone by whom it was worked for many years, and subsequently by other parties until 1887. The greatest depth attained] is 700 feet, the lust 500 feet being m ade through a shaft at great expense, steam power costing as high as $75 a day. The. stoppage in operations was caused by insufficient machinery to handle the water, and lack of enterprise on the part of the owners. The pay chutes are 600 feet long; the longest tunnel on the vein is 1,000 feet, average widtli of vein, three feet. The vein is a trae fissure, nearly perpendicular; hanging wall, slate ; foot wall, porphyry. Abhout $900,000 ha been taken out in all, the ore averaging $10 aton, At the Martin quartz mine,. 400 feet above. the Keystone, through a shaft 60 feet deep, 200 tons of rock have .been extracted and milled, yielding $10.80 a ton. A tunnel taps the ledge 200 feet below the croppings, ten feet wide, where’ six tons of ore milled $6:50 a ton. Adjoining are locations on which but dittle work has been done. A large vein of good-looking quartz runs through them. It is the intention of the owner to run a tunnel from the Yuba river along this vein to the Keystone and Murtin mines, and he may find numerous pay chutes and cut several cross ledges. The length of this proposed tunnel to the Keystone chutes will be 7,500 feet. There is an abundance of water. to propel all needed machinery. ——————EEEEEes An Underhand Game.

How a Nevada Cityanese Brings a Grass Vaileyan to Time. The Telegraph publishes the TRanscript’s account of the dismissal of the case of the people against W. J. Carter of Graes Valley and adds: The case grew out of the romantic attachment of Mrs. Goad of Nevada City for Carter, under which about a year since she delivered to him divers articles, including a gold watch, she claiming that they were deliveged in trust and he claiming that they tere a wedding gift from his proposed _ bride. The marriage never came off, but instead the defendant went off and married a younger and handsomer woman, and left this county to reside in Alaineda. Last week a warrant was sent to Deputy Sheriff Jamieson of Alameda county, who found the defendant working in a quarry. “‘Won’t you let n.e go home and change my clothirg?” asked. the prisoner. , a : “Certainly,” replied the urbane officer, and they both went to the defendant’s residence where they found the door locked. “T will go around back and open it from the inside,”’ suggested Carter. “All right,” replied the officer. Carter‘‘went around hack,’’ but he never opened the door. On the contrary,when the Sheriff werit around to see what’ delayed Carter the prisoner had disappeared in the brush. aged to communicate with his wife requesting her to go to her folks in Grass Valley and prepare for his defense. ‘Tell them,” he said, “‘to lave the Grass—Valley lawyer who. defended Lord on his first trial—I forget his name.’”’ Ct Carter’s father-in-law promptly laid the matter before Attorney, Burrows, and: that gentleman decided it would be better to compromise with Mrs: Goad than to risk a trial, for said he, “She is no doubt very bitter and will swear like sheol if it comes to trial; besides she may have him arrested on a higher charge which would be a State prison offense.” An interview with the widow Goad showed that the complainant had blood in her eye and she scornfully refused the offer of settlement. Coaxing had no effect and argument proved useless. “‘Well,’”’ said the attorney as a last shot, ‘‘you have no dead thing anyhow,and I propose to clear him before ajury. They will no doubt agree that you were silly and soft on Carter and presented hiin withthe watch. I propose to have some fun with you as a witness.” **How much can. you.pay me?’ suddenly asked the widow. “One hundred and twenty-five dollars and a note for $50 more,”’ was the answer. ‘Well, I guess I’ll take it,” was, the response, “‘but you must also pay the costs.”” “Very well,” wasthe answer, “but let us go and see the Justice.” At hia Honor’s court the presence of the District Attorney was secured and soon matters were arranged satisfactory to the widow, the State and the defendant.

The Mining and Scientific Press says: Some of the hydraulic mines in the U.S. of Colombia, Which are owned by residents of London, have been paying very well of late, notably the Colombian Hydraulic Co. and the Orita Hydraulic Co. The shares of the two concerns stand at about 100 per cent premium in the market. The former, on a capital of £75,000, has ‘realized £25,449, of which” the profit. was £16,447, or 64 per.cent of the gross returns. In the past 2h years the company has returned half the nominal capital in dividends. English capitalists are much interested iv this class of mines, but of course no longer invest in them in this State, though they hunt them upelsewhere. It is of interest to note that an English firm which manufacture fireengines, etc.; have devised an engine for throwing a stream against.a gravelbank, so that-water can be taken from any depth below where it is wanted, reservoired and brought to bear on any given spot. . The apparatus is simply a modification of that used by the London fire brigade. The monitor ig mounted’on a carriage and can be directed at any angle close to the bank, or removed from it, with ease. Power is’ obtained ‘from a boiler-such as is used in torpedo boats. The monitor will throw a jet 250 feet above the position from which it is’ worked. The capacity of the pumps is about 1600 gallonsa minute. A feature ‘of this engine, and one to Which considerable importance is to be attached, is this: That it may, in the firat place, be used to pump water froma river miles distant into a reservoir; and then, with the same appliance, this water can be brought to bear upon any given spot as desired, Thinks He's In Love.
