Abbott on the charge of vagrancy and incidentally the investigation into the general charges of | corruption against Policemen Chappelle and Sylvester, the arresting officers, were | continued yesterdfiy before Judge Ca- baniss. Chief Sullivan and Captain Witt- man were in court during the proceedings and listened attentively to the evidence. Once when an objection was made by | the prosecution to a question put to Lieu- terunt Price Captain Wittman suggested that the objection should not be pressed, and the question was answered. There was little or nothing of a sensatinal char- acter brought out. Something of the kind is_promised to-morrow. i The defendant testified to Chappelle | caliing her out of O'Connor’s grocery at | O’'Farrell and_ Mason streets &uurday‘ night, April 27, and saying to her, “I've | got you now and will make it hot for | You.” Mike Nolan, after her arrest by Chappelle on April 17, had told her in the | presence of Henri Pradel, proprietor of the house were she boarded, that he could In answer to a question by the Judge she sald she had never been approached by an officer with such a proposition and no other person except Nolan had ever made the suggestion to her. She had| never been hounded or persecuted by any | officer except Chappelle. Noian told hel | that a woman companion of his was al- lowed to go about the streets and she could do the same thing. After the report of Nolan’s conversation with her in an evening paper Nolan came to her and said he had made a statement to Chief Sullivan and had denied everything she | said. happelle that there and Sylvester both :esured\ cre houses of the same de- ‘ription as the one where the defendant lived on their beat. Chappelle had arrest- 1 two women on Mason street since April 18, Sylvester had been on the beat about three weeks, but had made no arrests. 1B q 4 Both denied ever having received money from women.

The question was then asked, “Do you know his repu- tation for truth, honesty and integrity?” It was also objected to, and Captain Witt- man whispered to Hanley, who withdrew his objection. Price replied that he did not know. Price said that Detective Ed Gibson and Watchman George Downey had told him that one of his squad was receiving money from women. Two of the squad com- Jlained to him about the same thing, and fe Went to the house mentioned and threatened to raze it If the Inmates did not tell the truth. A Chinese pointed out Officers Chappelle and Morton, and Chap- pelle admitted that the Chinése had of- fered him $5 not to arrest him, but he de- clined the offer. That was all there was to_it. W. I. O’Cennor, the grocer at O’Farrell and Mason streets, testified that the de- fendant was drinking beer in his. store with an old man when Officer Chappelle called her out directly contradicting the and the case was continued till to-morrow.

Mining men are paying large sums for dredging machines and thousands of dollars for tracts of land to operate upon. A golden shower falls upon the people who live near the scene of the dredging operations. Machine shops have been bullt along the river banks near the dredgers. Houses are constructed to ac- commodate the people employed. So the machinist and the carpenter reap benefits. The interior papers, seeing the steady ad- vancement of the dredging industry and the developments that accompany it, are making prophecies concerning the future extent of dredging for gold. The Biggs Argus says: The prospects are that within the next few jeurs the banks of the Featner River will be {ined with dredgers. A trip between Blggs and Oroville shows some wonderful changes that have taken place within the last two years and the panorama of a coming year or two will show astounding developments in the evolu- tion of dredge mining. Already nine immense dredgers are in active operation and probably as many more are in course of construction. That this system of mining is bringing most satisfactury returns to the operators is in- dicated by the fact that men of experience, solld business judgment and means have paid seemingly unreasonable prices for the land along_the river and do not hesitate to pay from $40.000 to $70,000 each for. the construction and equipment of the monster machines. Among recent mining deals reported in California are the bonding of the Doyle mine in Amador County % San Francisco parties, the sale of the ce_mine in the same countg b% the Chicago Mining Com- pany and the banding of the Free Lance mine in - Tuo]umne County to Willlam Sharwood. The Doyle mine is a patented claim, situated not far from Jackson, on the Zeila lode. A company will begin operations about the 1st of June. The Amador Dispatch figures that the opera- tign of the Doyle and the Amador Queen 0. 2, which has resumed, will put new ipto the South Jackson district. A n orporation has been formed to op- erate tha Amador Queen No. 2. The Price mine i{s about three miles north of Ply- mouth. The Tuolumne Independent re- orts that C. D. Lane has made an offer or the purchase of the Hope mine, which has been closed down pending negotia- tions. According to the Angels Record the old Field mine, near Angels Camp, has been sold and work is about to begin. The Brunner mine has been bonded and | the Union copper mine is under bond to Eastern parties. Smelter Near Inyo. D. P. Doak of St. Louls says there ll a chance that the State line pass di may have a smelter and that the decmen reatu with_the railroad people, who have bee! for concessions on_ shipments of coke oal, fuel, supplies and all requi- sites for a large plant.

The Eastlick brothers are rushing work in their hydraulic claims at Oro Fino and expect to make big clean-ups during the coming summer while the water lasts. They have put in more extensive ele- vators than those used by the San Francisco company lately working the claim. The stamps of the new mill of the Yel- low Aster mine at Randsburg have begun to drop on ore. The Randsburg Miner says that the mine stands to-day in the names of its original owners and that no stock in the company is sold to outside parties. There is enough ore blocked out to keep both mills running for some years. The great plant of the Mountain Copper Company at Keswick, Shasta County, will be operated by electricity. A contract has been signed, so the dding Searchlight says, with the Keswick Electric Power Company for the necessary power. This company is installing a plant at Mill Seat Creek in the Shingletown region, and will have capacity to_develop 1500 horsepower. Senator John F. Davis furnishes some details of the plans to supply water to the Sweepstakes Gravel Mining Company, which owns the gravel mine near Weaver- \flle, Trinity County. The mine comprises 900 acres, e ditch, which will e 400 inches of water, will follow along the mountain side and will be twenty-nine miles long. The cost of constructing the ditch will be about $350,000. Testing Butte Creek Claims. The Chico Record reports that tests are 50]11& on aleng Butte Creek, on the roves and Hanscom ranches, to deter- mine whether dredges shall be construct- ed to mine for gold on the creek.. During several weeks B. Cusick has been quietly securing bonds on various lands and has succeeded in taking in nearly all the avail- able land for a distance of from five to six miles. He does not propose to dredge, so says the Record, but expects to sell the property to those who have had experi- ence in dredging for gold. Butte Creek has been rich in gold. If the reports are favorable the construction of dredges will begin early. e Los Angeles Herald says it is re- ported that the gold fever has struck Olinda, Orange County, on account of the dlscoveg of two ledges that gold. rass Valley mdlngu-’relegnph says: To-day the Jenny Lind Gold Com:- pany closed a deal whereby the company comes into possession of elghty acres of the Isaac L.
