Four gentlemen of Fresno county, says the San Francisco Chronicle, have scarcely recovered from the shock of nearly selling a rich mining property In MaropIia for a mere song. They were not experienced delvera for. gold, and they had become so tired of sinking through waste rock, as they thought, at heavy expense, that they were on the eve of t-fHIng out for a few thou sand dollars wh-n by accident they as certained that they were the owners of a deposit which promises to vie In richness with that of the famous Kaw hld". of Tuolumne county. It happened, as Hark Walser. for merly assistant district attorney ot Fr--no. relates the Aladdin-llke story, that. Ia?t spring, legal business took him to the vicinity of Coultervlll. There he fell in with an original char acter, in whom he became interested. There was much to arouse curiosity In Mkhal Iiugan. for the old Mariposa miner was as strange a character as ,,n encounters In a lifetime. Among c.thT icullaritis. although a resident of California for thirty years, the old man had never ridd'-n in a car but once In hit life. and. what was still mor trange. had never cast his eyes on a t'-i-phon or a telegraph line. UK many of his clas. he was full of stories t.f rich mines which had-not been worked for years. Walter listens! with especial atten tion to Ducan's statement regarding th' liunnell mine, thirty-four miles r.orthvast of CoultrvUK which he had Jumred years before. Walser had the property examined, and. as It was of. fered for a small price, took the risk of the venture, bought it and as.mx-I-ated In the ownership Dr. K. C. Dunn. W. C. Colson and M. H. Azhdarlan. In examining the title, the history ot the min. which was opened in 1S3I. d-ve'oiM some strange facts. Among Its owners was S. F. McNear, who was in possession eichteen years ago. lie sank several shafts, did some drifting and worked the ore through an old wooden stamp mill. One day McNear emerged from the shaft having In his hand a piece of ore which Walter's In formant stated to be eighteen Inches long, two thick, and studded with gold. It was such a sight as one seldom sees. McNear at once began computations In regard to purchasing machinery. Be fore reaching a conclusion, however, hft again went below In the shaft, and. on returning to the surface, discharged all of the miners, gave away the mill, tools and supplies and damaged the entrance to the shafts so that the could not be entered. Two days later McNear went to Mexico, where he was killed. His strange actions were never ex plained, but the theory Is that, dis covering the valuable character of the property, he designed to "freeze out" his presumed associates and keep the mine for himself. From that time until after Walser's purchase of Dugan's claim the Bunnell mine has no history- . It lay Idle and abandoned. In May last, however, the new owners began operations by sink ing a new vertical shaft. At the depth of forty-five feet they came upon a pe culiar formation, which. In their Inex perience, they lelleved to be waste rock, or "horse," as it Is termed by miners. For three months they made their way slowly and at heavy ex pense through the hard formation, not knowing that they had riches within their grasp, and. In their Ignorance. Im patiently awaiting a rich strike. Others however, were better informed than the owners of the true conditions, and a few weeks ago an Englishman, claim ing to be the representative of an En glish syndicate, made overtures to buy the mine. . So discouraged had become the own ers that they met. and had fixed upon 115.000 as the price to be asked when a fortuitous circumstance arose which fntirvly changed the face of affairs. As the four partners sat together. -Walter shaking up samples of the ore and all deploring its apparent worthless ness. h proposed as a last resource that it should be assayed. Then came the denouement. Samples of the ore from the 75. S3 and- 100-foot depths were given to A. S. Cagwin, of Fresno f"r assay. "This was th result. sail Mr. Wal ser. as he handed over the assay re rorts. They showed that the. waste rck" v. as reeking with gold, growing richer and richer in almost incredible degree as the depth Increased. At 13 feet Its value was placed at $12 a ton, at S3 feet JC20 and at 100 feet at $394 a , ton. That was last month. Since then Harry Blaisdeil. Jr.. an experienced miner. .has been made superintendent of the mine. He reports that an old dump of ore of from 1.000 to 1.500 tons, that has hin neglected for eighteen years at the disposition of any one. runs from S to $13 of free gold, be sides sulphurites. and that the prop erty is on of the richest In California. Mr. Walser has come to San Fran cisco to ascertain whether it would be better to send the cobalt arsenical slate to the Selby works for smelting or to purchase reduction machinery and erect it on the property. Foreign Notes. For 3.200 vacancies of all kinds on the staff of the London and Northwestern Railway last year, there were 53.000 applicants. Shakespeare's birthplace Is now in possession of a golf club. Buluwayo has had one some time, so has Bagdad, has Singapore. Shakespeare never mentioned golf. The Nurnberg Industrial exhibitors report that they made 9.117 sales, amounting in value to 1.SS1.769 marks, anil that they received S.S2S orders, bringing In 1.3A0.017 marks. Holland, the home of Hugo Crotlus. has undertaken to codify the Interna tional private law. a permanent com mission having been appointed for that purpose by the Que-n Regent. A queer Japanese idea Is that of the officers who served In the war with China. In petitioning the Government to erect a monument to the memory of the horses that fell In the war. Queen Victoria in the sixty years of her reign has had to do with seven teen Presidents of the United States. Martin Van Buren had been In office three months when she succeeded to the throne. Sir John Millar's "Yeoman of the Guard" has been presented to the Na tional gallery by his half-sister. Sar gent's portrait of Coventry Patmore has also been given to the nation by the poet's widow for the National Por trait Gallery. An extension of the Pope's territory has been made by the purchase from Prince Borgese of a very large tract of land adjoining the Vatican gardens. The Italian Government ' has agreed that .the right of extra-temtortamy enjoyed by the Vatican sixau apply the new acquisition. rcpors-e Peabody's donation of $2,500 000 for London workmen's houses has increased to JS.000.000 In the twenty four years since his death. Last year the trustees of the fund provided ii.zfi moms, besides bath rooms, lavatories. and laundries; 19.834 persons occupied them The death rate of Infants In the building Is 4 per cent, below the average for London. Amone the late Leon Say's papers were found five decrees dated on the same day, signed by President Grev and countersigned by all the proper o flclals. appointing him to all the grades of the Legion of Honor. Including the Grand Cross. Grevy went out of of fice without making the appointments public in the Journal Offlclei. ana leon Say never mentioned the matter to any one and never wore any or the decora Hons. ' Notes From Salisbury. Salisbury, N. C March 19. Our city fathers have unanimously decided that Salisbury must have electric lights provided that the necessary funds could e legally borrowed. A proposi tion made by Mr. Evans to furnish the city fifty (30) arc lights .at a cost of ninety ($00) dollars per light has been accepted. The action of the com missionenr in this matter meets with the approval of a greater part of out citizens. An flegant city hall has just been completed at a cost of over four thou sand ($4,00u) dollars. Qute a lively time Is expected at the municipal election. A number of candi dates are in the field whose friends are pushing them for the different places Mr. T. C. Linn is in the lead for mayor Messrs. G. H. Shaver, It. H. Price and C. W. Pool have announced themselves for city marshal and tax collector. It will be a fight with them to the finish It is quite likely that an opposition ticket will be put up. No mention has yet been made as to who will lead this ticket. The contest wi'l be closer than in -former years, for the new election laws now apply. Hon. Lee S. Overman has returned from a meeting of the ex-directors of the North Carolina Railroad company at Charlotte, N. C. It was decided that each ex -director file a separate answer in the matter to be heard in the Fed eral court at Greensboro. The senti ment here is unanimous in favor of the Southern Railway company. It. Lee Wright, Esq., - returned last night from Dobson, where he repre sented J. L. Carper, of Winston, N. C. before Judge Green at chambers In aft attachment proceeding. The matter has not yet been terminated. The will of Tobias Kreller was filed for probate yesterday. The estate Is val ued anywhere from $60,000 to $90,000. Mr. A. H. Newsom is residuary legatee. Mr, H. M. Woolson, register of deeds, and L. H. Clement were given $500 each for past favors and friendship. Mr. L. H Clement was named administrator In the will. It Is a question whether or not he will be required to give bond. Mrs. Boyden Trexler, one of Mr. Kes tie's daughters, was only given $1,000 In trust. She has employed counsel to set the will aside, alleging undue influence on the part of other heirs. Several cases of typhoid fever are re ported. Mrs. D. M. Miller and son are very sick with this disease. The doc tors think that a great many cases will develop on account of the excessive rains for the past months. MUSCULAR "H00SIER" WIVES. Enforced Their Objections to Their Husband's Poker Games. rora month or so past, the good wives of Riley, Ind., and vicinity, have noticed that their husbands were spending an unusual number of even ings away from home. Quiet Investi gation revealed that the men on such occasions were employed in playing poker. This was a state of things not to be endured, and the women folks de cided on reformatory measures. A Mrs. Baker volunteered to make the first move. The next night her husband stayed away from home she suddenly called at the room, and, figuratively speaking, led her husband home by the er. Next night Mrs. William Jones called at the room. She was denied ad mittance w hen she knocked at the door. but, having anticipated this, she had prepared for forcible entrance. She had with her a hatchet, and It was but a moment until she had the door off its hinges. The husband 'was there, and he meekly accompanied his wife home, says the Indianapolis "News." A couple of evenings later, Mrs. Brown, in the same township, received her husband with menacing gestures when he came home late with some companions. The next day he was not seen, and the next he failed to appear at his work about the farm. Some of his friends, who were apprehensive that he had been severely dealt with, sent a delegation to the house, but they met the wife at the door and she sent them off with a warning to keep away from the house and from her husband. A few days later, the cap tured husband, still failing to appear. some of his friends came to the city to consult the Prosecuting Attorney about legal proceedings for his rescue. Noth ing was done, however, and in a day or two. Brown was again at work on tne rarm. He hasn t been, "out at nights" since, and the married men ot the neighborhood have about conclud ed that the seductive game must be given the go-by for a time, at least. A NEW WORD FOR CABBY. It Stopped His Abundant Flow of Choice BJIIIngsgate. From the Weekly Telegraph. The newest cab story affords a de lightfully refreshing way of dealing with the verbal brutalities of an irate cabby. It was a case where a young lady had hailed a cab, and after being driven nearly two miles In bad weath er tendered the cabman a shilling. We know how on such an occasion the cab man holds theshilling In the palm of his hand, and addresses to It observa tions of a character more pointed than polite. The cabman in this story was lurid ly figurative and warm toned In his remarks. When the young lady was able to get in a word she sweetly re marked, VCabman. I wish you would be more anaemic In your observations." The cabman was cowed by this un expected retort. He had no idea what the word meant, but it was evidently something dreadful, and one expects to hear that one of. the popular phrases of reproach on the rank will be to call a fellow cabby "a dashed anaemic" oJKnnVQ fo) HI!
