tte SUNDAY, FEB. 17, 1899. Eee The Jeffries Forgery Case. Owing to the inahility of the proseeution to. secure service on C. J. Shep“ herd, the Los Angeles fruit packer whose presence as a witness was desired, the charge against C. B. Jeffries of forging Shepherd’s name to a note for $250 will probably be dismissed. He will be immediately rearrested on another charge—that of forging J. N. McIntosh’s name by endorsing the check. ’ There is something peculiar to say the least in regard to the failure to Mineralogist Irelan’s Review of Twe Nevada City Claims. —_—— State M ineralogist says: UNION MINE. This mine is situated about two and one half miles south éast ot Nevada City, at an altitude of three thousand feet. Active work was begun here last September. The ore since extracted has yielded $18 per ton; the gold being worth $12 per ounce. The sulphurets are worth about $75: per The mine is worked by the owners in person, only one man being hired. The .eighth annualreport of the. ton, half in gold and half in silver. . secure the attendance of Shepherd. He was first telegraphed to concerning the check and answered that it was a _ forgery. The District Attorney then telegraphed asking if he would come without a subpoena to testify at the preliminary examination, providing his expenses were paid by the county. He replied that he would not. On the 17th instant a subpcena for him was sent to. Sheriff M.-G. Aguirre, of = Los Angeles county, who the prisoner says is his cousin. The Sheriff kept the document two days and telegraphed that Shepherd. was_out-oftown-but was expected back onthe 9th. The 4 latter day he returned the subpena claiming he could-not get service.A subpeena was next sent to Chief of Policé Cooney of Los Angeles. The Chief on Friday also telegraphed that he.could not tindShepherd. The officers here think there is something “rotten in Denmark,’”’ and that the prisoner’s relationship. to Jeffries is responsible for it. The matter should be thoroughly investigated, and. if there has been any failure on the part of the Los Angeles officers to per. form their duty, or if Shepherd is ~—-dodging service in order ¢o help Jeffries out of the scrape, steps should be taken to punish them. The matter will not be permitted to rest here. LATER. Since the above was written the Digtrict Attorney has received from thé‘ Chief of Police a telegram saying Shepherd can be found. A third subthickness, ten inches. of sulphurets. peena has been gent to Los Angeles. The anti-Chinese agitation, and the Scott. exclusion bill seem to be having the desired effect in.this section at least. If the Mongolians continue to decrease during the next two years as rapidly asthey have for two years past, they will be in demand by dime museum managers. A Citizen who has heretofore evinced a decided partiality to them, yesterday complained Value of sulphurets Width of vein hundred feet. Ventilation is effscted by means of a water blast; a very small stream of water, with a fall of one hundred feet, sufficing for the purpose.! The water here is not under pressure, asin some cases of water-blast ventilation, but is simply ‘‘turned loose” in the center or axis of a square vertical wooden pipe, the lower end of which is submerged in water ina tight. wooden box, with aa air pipe at the top and an outlet. for water at a lower point. The waste water flows out of the mine through an old tunnel. The contrivance is a rude form of the Catalan blower of mining text-books and answers ,its pukpose very well. The strike of the vein in the mine is north and south, the dip easterly, at an angle of 40 to 45 degrees; the average The claim is CHAMPION MINE. This mine is located one and one half miles west from Nevada City at on altitude of two thousand three The developnients here $8,000 feet . HERRING. —— one thousand five hundred feet on the lode, by six hundred feet wide. ‘length of the pay shoot has not yet been determined.~ The walls are granitoid. The ore is extracted through a vertical shaft, a drift, and a second shaft, from a total depth of one hundred and eighty-five feet, the listle water coming in being raised by a. me watches and jewelry and perhaps hand pump to the old tunnel level. Notimbering is necessary. The ore is quartz, carrying free gold, pyrites and galena. It is treated by wet crushing and concentration, at the mill of the Nevada City Company, and yields, besides the free gold, some 4 per gent.

Trial TheChamber of Torture « Is the apartment to which the unhappy sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism isconfined. If,ere this crisis of pain is reached, that fine preventive, Hosteiter’s Stomach Bitters, is nsed by persons of a rheumatic tendency, much unnnecessary suffering is avoided. Nervines,anodynes and sedatives, are yet very desirable at times. Yet cin they produce no lasting effect upen rheumatism, because they have no power to eliminate from the blood the rheumatic virus. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters does this, and checks at the outset a disease’ which, if allowed to ‘. gain headway, it is next to impossible to dislodge or to do more than relieve. Rheumatism, it should be rememb ered,is a disease with a fatal tendency from its proneness to attack the heart. A resort to the Bitters should, therefore, be prompt. Dyspepsia, kidney complaint, malaria and nervousness are relieved by it. : For Bent. —— 4 A desirable store-room on Broad street. Apply to A. Tam. £15-9¢ Pears’ isthe purest and best Soay ever made.

Mr: Stanton accounted for this intimate knowledge of Dickens by mentioning the habit which ho had formed during the war of invariably reading something by the “Pickwick’ before going to bed at night. The late Bishop Prince Lee, first Bishop of Manchester, was. similarly gifted. It is related of him that being once, alady with right on with the poem from memory, and could have recited the whole, As a further teat, the same lady quoteda words from a conversation in “Ivanhoe,”” whereupon the Bishop repeated the whole chapter correctly from memory. But greater than any of, these was Lord Macaulay. From a very early age the retentiveness of his memory: was extraordinary.When only three or four years of mind mechanically retained as his maid said, he talked “quite—printed words.” Once asa child, when making an afternoon‘call with his father, he picked up Scott's ‘Lay of the t Minstrel” for the first time, and quietly devoured the treasure while his seniors were engaged in conversa« tion. When they returned home the boy went to his mother, who at the timo was confined to her bed, and sitting down at the bedside repeated what he had been reading, . by the canto, until she was tired, Later in life his wonderful memory was always @ subject of interest to his friends, and occasionally was put tosearching tests. One day ata board meeting at the British Museum Macaulay wrote down from memory in three parallel columns on each of four pages of foolscap a complete list of the Cambridge senior wranglers, with dates and colleges attached, for the one hundred years during which arecord of the names had been keptin the University calendar. “On another occasion,’’ says Trevelyan, “Sir David Dundas asked; ‘Macaulay, do you know: your Popes?’ ‘No,’ was the answer, ‘I ab ways got wrong among the Innocents,’ "But, can you say your Archbishops of Canterbury?’ ‘Any fool,’ said Macaulay, ‘could say his Archbishops of Canterbury backward,’ and he went off at score, drawing breath only once in order to remark on the oddity of their having been both an Arch~~ bishop Sancroft and an Archbishop Bancroft, until Sir David stopped him at Cranmer,” Macaulay once said that if, by any possible chance, allthe copies of ‘Paradise Lost’’ and the ‘‘Pilgrim’s Progress” in existence he could. write both out again,complete, from recollection, When O'Connell made his motion in 1834 for the . repeal of the union, Mr. Tennant, member of Parliament-for Belfast, delivered a speoch lasting for three and a half hours, full of figures and calculations, entirely from memory, in which he trusted so completély that ‘he sent the manuscript of his speech to the newspapers before he delivered “it, \His confidence was not misplaced, for the ora. tion was spoken without a-single mistake, ‘or éven a momentary hesitation, Another Irish M. P., Mr. Robert Dillon Brown, mem; ber for Mayo, had the same useful faculty. He would dictate a speech to an amanuensis, and twenty-four hours afterwards, without looking at it or thinking of the matter in the meantime, could repeat it word for word, Woodfall,» editor of the Morning Chronicle, and brother of. Junius’ publisher, was able to report accurately in the morning tho debate of the previous evening without taking any notes. In some cases the mental action involved in feats of this nature would seem to be quite mechanical and unintelligent, In the newspapers of January, 1820, there are accounts of an extraordinary man, who was known as ‘‘ Memorycorner Thompson.’’ This man, although he could hardly remember any thing he heard, . could yet retain perfectly the names and descriptions of large collections of objects that . met his eye. He could take an inventory of the contents of a house from cellar to attic merely by surveying them, and: could afterward write it out from memory. He could draw from _ recollec tion accurate plans of many London parishes and districts, with every street, alley, public building, public house, etc., duly noted, down to the. minutest topographical detail, such as pumps, trees, bow-windows and posts, all correctly marked. Conspicuous instances of this mechanical kind of memory are to be found among the famous mental calculators. Jed-édiah Buxton was acelebrity of this kind about the middie of the last century. He had but little education and, indeed, was not able to write his own name. But in arithmetic and in abstruse calculations his powers were wonderful. The following isa specimen of the problems which, when put to the test, he solved mentally in a few minutes: Find how many cubical eighths of an inch there are in a quadrangular mass measuring 23,145,789 yards long, 2,642,782 yards wide and 54,965 yards thick, When in London in 1754 he was taken to see Garrick as Richard HI. at Drury Lane. The play did not interest him, but he occupied himself in reckoning the number of words he heard and in counting the number of steps made by the dancers. Thé American boy, Zerah Colburn, who came to London in . 1812, was a similar phenomenon. He had _ no knowledge of the rules of arithmetic, and was quite unable to explain how he arrived at the answers to the problems submitted to him. Mental power of this nature would seem to imply an’ unwholesome development of. one part of the brain at the expense of the reat. fhe American Flag. ‘ there is a law regulating the making of the American flag. that on the Fourth of July following the admission of a State a new star shall be added to the blue field of the flag: -Theére are now thirty-eight States in the Union, and ‘there should be thirty-eight stars in the field of the flag. Many of the cheap flags have not the requisite number of stars, because it is much easier to have stars in rows, with an even number each way, which can not be secured with thirty-eight, . ee ni About Sleeping Alone, ” § very much healthier to slee The unhealthfulness of two peBheasg Fess ing the same bed very much depends on the physical condition of either or beth.
