In ted Woman's Poor Aim, Domestic trouble between Aaron Suyder and his wife came near resulting in murder at Denver, and but for the poor aim of tho deserted and infuriated woman Snyder would now be a corpse and his wite a murderess. ~~ Aaron Snyder, who is employed as a clerk in a dry goods house on Larimer street, and Mrs. Jennie Chapin were made husband and wife recently. Scarce had the marriage ties been solemmnized when domestic trouble aroso, and after two weeks of married iife the couple separated and Suyder took up his residence at the home of M. Gildersleeve on Bouth Eleventb street. PThe deserted wife called several times to see her husband, but he refused to see her, ‘When they met a guarrel ensued, Mrs, Sn; der walked into the store where Snyder was at work and after yttering a fow words of reproach for her husbana’s desertion drew a B2-caliber revolver and fired at her husband Her aim was not good, however, and the ball entered the tfleshy part of Snyder's right leg Just below the hip. Snyder then grappled with the woman and Mr. Gildersleeve ran to bis assistance. ‘T'he two men succecded in wrenchiug the gun from het grasp and held ber until Detectives Leyden and McAndrews arrived and placed ber under urrest. 5 ~. Free Love Advoeate, Freo love for men was the theme of At- torney T. M. Patterson’s discourse at Den- ver. He is the leading counsel for the de- fendants in the Miliington murder trial, ana spoke in their behalf and as apologist for the Millington social ethics. It wos a strange crov: scencs of a murder trial. for the closing Surrounding the defendants were a gatheriug of “ladies of commiseration,” some of them pro- fessional; but therc was where the sbsurity camo in, 8s notwithstanding their occupation they were all attired in a sort of May day picnic habiliments, says the Times. hey had i in their hats and bonuers; they wore the guuziest and lightest of materials with the most glaring of prints, and every one had a bougue'. The table in front i whore the defendunts sat was laden with tlowers, and the weepers insisted that the defendants should adorn themselves also. The women in other parts of the building were ull out in spring attive. Almost all of them came prepared for the emergencios arising from Mr. Patterson’s oratory. Thoey bad scent bottles, smelling salts and handher- chiefs all in readiness. Small Indian War, An Indian row occurred at Sambo Bar, Klamath river, about four miles below Oak Bar, Cal, recently, in which two Indians wera killed, and some others seriously wounded, The aifficulty arose out of a super- stitious notion that am Indian known as Buelliug gave an Indian girl some kind of mediciue, under the influence of which she was seduced from the home of her parents. Buelling and another Indian were killed by Bambo and his son, and another who tried to stop the trouble was also seriously wounded. Bome Indiaus from the Oregon reservation tke Hamburg Bar In- dians, and tnere is likely to be more trouble unless the Oregon veservation Indians ske- daddle, as the Scott Valley and Happy Camp Indians. as well as several half-breeds, are coming to settle the dificalty according to Indinn regulations, without the necessity of the county taking any hand in tho affair at enormous cost to the taxp . The In- dians who shot the others have escaped to the mountains, and are no doubt back in Ore- gon, where they came from, Indestructability of Gold, 10ld is one of the few things in tha world that is practically indestructible, said Albert S. Elis, a well known assayer of Douver, Cole,, to a Nows raporter. *“There is but lit tle wear to it and even this little arises from friction. When a jeweler molts down a piece of manufectured gold, say an old wateh, he eliminates the baser metals and the gold is resolved aguin into its earlicst purity with but a minute loss. An ounce of pure gold is worth today #2080, and us gold comes. from the earth it is ordinarily ninoteen-twentieths fine, the impurities beiug silver, copper, quartz, sand, ete. To remove these, various processes are resorted to, dopendiug on the nature of the impurities, The usual way is to have recourso to chemical baths, acids being taken, in which gold is not soluble, but which dissolve uway the copper and silver, leaving the pure gold. A karat is one-twenty-forth of the chosen standard, and thus an eighteon karat ring would consist of eighteen parts gold and six parts silver and copper, the latter being the usual alloy used in jewelry. No doubt thero is goid in our every day ‘jewelry that for merly existed in otie way or another 1n the old lRoman days, or even before, and has eome down to us through all these canturies,” Traduced His Former Wife, Hugo Mausfeldt, formerly & musio teacher Armstrong has been | l of Sacramento, C: a., but now of Oakland, recontly was divorced from his wife and shortly after the lady was married to Dr. D. irowley of Oakland, Dr. Crowley and | nis bride went to Sacramento to sttend the ing of the state medical society.

When the Cleveland minstrels gave their performance in Oakland, Cal,, the society for the prevention of cruelty to children, by meaus of injunction, prevented Arthur Cragg, aged twelve yers. the youngest mem ber of the famous Cragg family of a from appearing in his usual performance. Upon the arrival of the company in San Frane cisco, however, Mayor Sande of authority delegated to b pe vall an robats sou, by virtue n by the super- visors, granted Manager Cleveland permis sion to have young Cragg appear. The local society for the prevention of cruelty to chil- dren immediately made complamt, ‘whercup- ou the mayor applied to the city and county attorney for an opinion as to his authority to graut the permit in question. Yesterday Attorney Durst furnished the desired opinion, in which he holds that the mayor has no such authority in view ot an act of the legislature approved March 30, 1878, which makes it a misdemeanor for persous having the care and custody of children under six- teen years of age to exhibit them as acrobats and gymnasts. [t is understood that steps will iow be taken to prevent young Crag trom further appearing at the ‘Bush street theater during the term of the present en- gagewent, Horribly Mangled. A fatal accident occurred at the Bust end of the noted Rust-Ivanhoe tunnel on the Mid- land, near Leadville, Colo. Three shifts of men ave working in the tunnel, six meu to cach shift. One of the force named Pat Mc- Gowan was struck in the face by a falling pebble. He looked upwards in time to seo the whole roof directly over the men coming in. He jumped one side and shouted to the others, but too late. John Carlton of Den- ver, who had not yet worked two shifts at the tunnel, was crushed almost out of all semblance. Helingered a few minutes and died in great agony. — Patrick McGowen was caught by the fall of rock and had his right leg and ankle fractured. J. Matson had his left foot crushed and lost the large toe. His right leg was mashed to a jelly from the knee down. It is not known at present whether amputation will be necessary and the doctors deferred setting the fractures until tomorrow. His vered. Oue year ago last New Year's eve Charles Bedford mysteriously disappeared from Leadville, and though unremitting search was continued for several mouths, no trace of bim could be found. There was no apvarent cause for his disappearance, though the fact that when last scon alive ho was_emerging from a gambling house with £200 in his pocket, led many to suppose that he had been mu dered. Snday the almost unvecognizable frag menis of the unfortunate man’s body were tound in a level in the Flagstaft shaft, the head entively gone from the body, but a few fragments of fuse at the cop of the trunk in- dicated that a stick of giant powder had be used to destroy the head.

Thegirl was roughly treated by the brute, who left her unconscious on the ground, and it was at first believed that he had accom- plished his purpose, but an exammation showed that he had failed to accomplish his fiendish designs. ‘Tho poiice were notified of the facts, but too lato to take up the trail, aud as they are ataloss for a clew it is belioyea that his identity will never be known. Shot His Head Off. A. C. Scribner was shot and killed on Buffalo slough rauch noar Fairplay, Cal., by E. O, Pyffe, the owner of theranch. Serib- ner was herding shoep near the ranch by Pyfle's consent, but was to keep the sheep at least o mile away. Yestorday Fyffe and wife weut from Howbert, where they now live, ud found 1t entirely run over with Scribner's sheen. This caused a quarvel be- tween Scribuer’s hevder and Py ffe, which was renowed in by Seribner uppéaring upon the ranch in a_very violent and angry man- ner, and makiug straight for Fyffe, who stood shouting: Do not come inside this fieid, as I do not wish to hurt you," but Scribner threw the fenco down and still ap- proached Fyffe. He was again warned to stop or Fyfte would shoot, buo Scribner kept right on, calling Fyffe a cowardiy cur, until he got within two gun lengths of Fyffe, with raised hand holding a large rock, when FyfTe shot him through the head, causing in- staut death.

The Usual Result, A frightful accident occurred at Black Hawk, Colo,, by which a lifo was lost and over which the whole town was thrown into a furore of excitement. @By some) sad mistake] a cartridge of gin powder was placed in the oven of a cook stove in theresidence of Ja mes Hambley, who resides on the Dora Hill road. The fire in the stove became intensely hot, which caused the powder to explode with great violenco, scattering the contents of the room in all directions and ruining the stove, A prece of flying iron struck the two-year- old cnild of Mr. Hambley, killing it in- stantly Ancther child who was present in the room at the time was also seriously, if not fatally, injured. Veiled in Mystery. When J. W. Tabor with two men, Whittaker and Ed Montgomery, were work enlarging the Harlan ditch, near Roc ereck, Wyoming, the bones of a human being were uncarthed, They were somewhat de- ayed, but had been placed in the ground in a slanting position, the head some six inches below the surface and the lower extromities t threo fect below. Skeleton experts are at variance us to whether the remains are those of a white man_or Tudian, but is pr sumed they were a white mau's. The oldest inhabitants do not remember of any one bemng missed in that locality and the history of the bones 1s veiled in mystery. Frank at b Profitable Organ Grinding.

The forma- tions aro carboniferous limestone—tne Old Mountain limestone —and granito dykes and ir heavy underlying foundation masses. T'he limestones haye been caught up, lifted, turnod und riven by tho granite, and at the contact tho limestono has lost its blue color and bLos assumed a coarse crystailization with, in places, the for- mation of the series of crystalline miveral silic $0 characteristic of the altes lime- stones in the ancient primordial formations, We there find such mincrals as garnot, ido- crase, tremolite and tourmaline, ALl this is familiar enough to the min logist, but to find coarse gold imbedded in tremolite and in limestone without quartz is novel and unex- pected, but so it is uerally the gold is ac- companied by somo copper silphide and this in decomposing gives a green stain, a toler- ably certain indication of the presence of old. And this gold is not low grade, it does not carry much silver, it is above the averago of California gold, being worth $22 per ounce, and beautiful in color, Oue can readily conceive that around such outcrops of gold bearing limestone thero should ve placer deposits of value, but there is no source of water for slucing, no chanco for a poor man to make a day’s Zood wages with pick, shovel and cradle, and really with- out some capital and transportation little in- ducement to a rich man to go to work. Storage off Wa ‘The scarcity of water is a gr drawback to the whole region, yet there arc many springs, and many snow-fed brooks and rivi- lots from tho Ibapah and other ranges. These are (o be utilized by damming at the mouths of tho canyons so as to mako storage reservoivs. Deep crcok gives permanent water and doubtless good mili sites. The flanks of some of the valleys afford an abund- ance of overflowing water from dri wells and probably many parts of Decp creek val ley, away from the creck, could be v d by their devico, The observations npon the gold and geology apply chiefly to the northern portion of tho Lbapan range. The central and northern portion appears to be largely composed of granite, but it requires exploration, I he other ranges are lareely made up of carbou- iferous limestones und shales, but no good ovidence of the occurrenco of coal coutd be found. The age of these rocks is conelusively shown by such fossils as I’roductus and Spirifer. Lead ores form the chief bulk of the min- eral riches and will give the best support to a railway by the large tonnage. Owing to the scarcity of fuel and water tho natural market for these ores is the smelters of Salt Lake valley.

Gilson went there in Soptember last aund made some locations at Dugway and at Indian Springs, five being at Dugway. Some time in March of this year, ouly six or soven weeks ago, they started a drift on one of the claims, the Bucknorn, The drift had not progressed far when rich ore was struck and alter driving ahead in the ore thirty feot, Gilson went home to got teams and sacks to bring tho oro to arket. In w fow days they blocked out a body of ore thirty feet sqiiaro by driving the second cut, Gitson returned to Dugway at once, and brought in a carload of ore which told the story of its valuo better than he could do it. This oro was sampled at the Couklin sampler, assayed and sold on April 9, with the following results: Lot 1, first class, £2,701,07. Lot 2, second class, 7,044 pounds, sold for £412.27, making the eight tons and 5% pounds of oro net $4,113.24, makiug an_average of 23, ana yot this ore would have brousht moro had the two grades been left togothor in shipping. Since that Mr. Gilson has been out to the mine agam and brought in another 1 pounds, sold for curlond of ore and says he has ten carloads in sight and don’t know how much more. Just before leaving a shot broke into a ehamber of chloride ore, soft as a frosh ash-heap, from which an assay was made which made the biggest kind of a but- ton, showing 13,050 ounces silver and 25 ounces gold. Of courso thoy do not expect much of such ore, probably only a small pocket, and yet there may be'many of these.
