“GORONER LELAND EXHUMES BODY Mrs. McGucken Is Ac- cused of a Serious Crime. BN AN Police Refuse to Hold Her and Say She Has Been Abused. Mrs. James McGucken of 622 Capp street has been called upon by the police to ex- piein the death of her husband, James McGucken, a laborer, who died on Tues day last. He was insured for $1000 in Red- wood Camp, \grtcrx‘dnfi—;; of the World, and had the body cxhuraed, ana B towise o gfg;’:n‘:fillx%eun&ll& the stomach the serious charge. s sikiD vl The body was exhumed yesterday by Coroner Leland and the stomach sent to | the city chemist for examination. Cap- ta.ln» Beymour has investigated the case very thoroughly and is of the opinion the woman is innocent of wrongdoing. He detalled Detectives Wren and Dinan to ook into the matter, and their investiga- Hons have strengthened his belief in her innocence. Fred C. Russell,- clerk of Redwood Cemp, Woodmen of the World, visited Captain Seymour yesteraay and admitted that he had nothing on which to base a charge against Mrs. MoGucken other than Statements made to him by McGucken &t various times when the last named was under the influence of drink. It ap- pears that Mrs. McGucken’s first husband, John McGucken, was a brother of the one | recently deceased. The first husband died on October 1, 1897, from dysentery, and the widow was paid $1000 by Redwood Camp. A year after John died the widow mar- | y | the Windy City on the first and third Tues- days of June, July, August and Septem- ber, and will be known as seckers’ Excursions.” The fare from Chicago to any California point will be $6450 for a first class round | Or- EXCURBIONG T0 GALIFORNIA Half Fare During Sum- mer Months to In- duce Travel.

A Strange coincidence is the fact that both husbands died of dysentery. In his state- ment Russell said “I was talking to Mrs. MoGucken about insurance and she told me that when she was living in New York an agent asked her to insure her children. I believe that they paid so much a week. She said she insured one of the children and it dled :gx'.gun three wi after she had done Dr. McLean stated that Russell had in- formed him of his suspicions, but he told him that he did not think the case war- Tanted an investigation, as he was satis- fied that death was due to dysentery.

Mr. says that in the State Mineralo- gist's repérts heretofore, if a reader sought for information about any particu- | lar metal, he was compelled to read Aubury there. His intention is to have bulletins for various topics., The copper bulletin will be the first of a series, and very like- ly quicksilver will be the next metal to | be exploited from the practical side, as. contradistinguished from the purely sci- entific method of treatment. In pursuance of his idea Mr. Aubury has directed Frank M. Anderson, assistant in the field, to ex- amine the copper deposits and copper mines of Shasta, Siskiyou, Trinity and Del Norte counties. Every county in the State where copper is known to exist will be visited by field assistants. The results of their observations will be embodied in one circular, which will give all the In- formation available about copper. Work in the Mines. The dredger at Hawkinsviile, in Yreka | Creek, seems to be doing well. The Jour- | nal says it was started last week and 1s clearing up bedrock gravel. The water has been pumped out of the bedrock | gravel and three pumps keep it out. As | soon as the bedrock is cleaned up within reach of the steam paddy the pumps are | stopped to let the basin fill in order to | float the dredger further up or to etther | side, as may be desired. The managers | feel 'confident that good pay will be real- ized, as the bedrock contains considerable gold dust of coarse variety, including nug- | | gets. Some of the ground has been :appedl by miners getting down to bedrock with crude pumping machinery during dry sea- sons of the '50 and ’60 periods, but only at high points. The Mother Lode Bulletin rports that the Mapes mining property in Tuolumne County has been bounded to W. E. Coal. The stamps at the Hope mine have been | hung up. The partics operating the prop- | erty desired an extension of seventy days | on “the bond and tne consent of Ralston | was given, but he required that there | should be no crushing of ore during the | prescribed time. Greater- activity has obtained in the mines of Southern Oregon than ever be- fore, says the Oregcn Mining Journal. This is due in part to the unusually large output of gold the preceding year, which was greater than any year for the past twenty. The yield this year should not be Jess than that of last, for the reason that better and more perfect preparation was made for work than heretofore. A Lively Season. The Redding Searchlight say In both placer and quartz workings opera- | tions are being pushed with vigor in Siskiyou | County. The spell of.warm weather, causing | the snow to melt quickly, has furnished an abundance of water for all purposes and pros- | pecting is being done on a large scale, the Yreka papers saying that-there are more men in the field than has been the case for a long time. The mcuntain ranges of Salmon and Klamath will in all probability disclose some new and valuable deposits as a result of the present covering of that promising mineral | fleld. Hycravlic work on the Salmon River | goes on night and day, full advantage being | taken of the supply of water. There are no | idle men in tue Salmon secticn, and never be- | fore in che history of Siskiyou County has | there been such a demand for labor of all kinds as at present. The opening of so many new mines in the western ana northern part of the gounty has caused a demand for many miners and cvery one Who comes along receives employment readily, while thelarge number of mill plants in the Southern yart take the sur- The Amador Dispatch says the Amador- Phoenix Gold Minitg Company is thé name of an incorporation that has taken possession of the Particelli-Spagnoli mine | near Irishtown, which will proceed to at | once develop the property.

The Oroville Mercury says: Butte County diamonds are again attracting attention. For some time a man named Thomp- | son has been at Cherokee searching for precious gems. Lately he has shifted the scene of his | operations to Big Bend, where he believes he | has found unmistakablé evidences of diamond deposits which, if his view is correct, occupy a strip extending dfagonally across country and | including Cherokee, where gems have been dis- | covered occasionally for several years. Another | alleged diamond expert has been at Cherokee | ported to have been | buying such stones as were for sale, probably | for_speculative purposes. | The mine of Willlam Pinkston at Big Bend | is to be further developed by sinking deeper. | Saville Bros. will drive the shaft down. At n: the Clark mine, near Big Bend, gravel is be- | § ing drifted and washed as rapidly as nosalhle‘ with the scant supply of water.

On the proposed route of the Salt Lake road, in Death Valley, on the Funeral | Mountains, Robert Montgomery of Los | Angeles has located gold and copper | properties that will later be developed. Several years ago Mr. Montgomery, who is a well-known operator, found these properties, but as railroad transportation | was an unknown problem, they were not located. With the promise of transporta- tion, Mr. Montgomery readily foupd the ledges that for years had been forgotten. Ciifford Fleming is associated with Mont- gomery in these and other properties in the desert section. While the ore on the Funeral Mountains is not high grade, the ledges are reported to be wide. The Adelalde cuicksilver mines in San Luis Obispo County have started operat- ing. The Black Bear quartz mine has been sold by John Daggett to Boston parties for l't&fl,ow.

The maps of Mariposa and Tuolumne counties are being prepared. There is also ready for distribution a bulletin giv- ing a description of the mother lode re- glon. The Placerville Nugget raports that at the Mount Hope Mine on the east belt a road is being graded that ore may be hauled fo the mill. Four thousand feet of pipe has been recently laid to conduct air from the compressor on the river to the shaft. A hoist, two drills and a pump are operated by air. The drills Row in use are givine satisfaction. Work is being prosecuted at the 200-foot level. The Mount Hope ledge lies between the mountain granite and the Mariposa slate. Little Stronger Than.Usual. “One day back in Detroit,” remarked a Dm?:lu street man, “I accidentally left some aqua fortis in a glass and son after- ward was horrified to find the glass empty. "f%qulred as to what had become of it and some of the boys in the store sald that Bill Webster—a tough old sot who dropped in on us occasionally—had just gone out and maybe he had drank it, sup- posing it to be liquor. In a short time he came in and I sald: «Bi]l, did you drink that stuff in the glass on my table? “He said he did, and I then told him that he-had drank poison and that he’'d be a dead man in five minutes. ““0h, I reckon mnot’ said Bill, ‘but T knowed it was somethin’ a leetle stronger than T'd been a-havin’, for every time I blowed my nose I burned a hole in my ‘handkercher.’ "—Omaha Merecury.

Prosecution of Carman and Others for Trading With Rebels Is Abandoned. e MANILA, May 2.—Captain Michael Lieutenant Delbert R. Jones zeon Dudley W. Welch of Com- puny G, Forty-third Infantry, stationed at Maasin, Southern Leyte, have been ar- rested on charges of trading in permits to ship hendp from the closed ports and will be tried by court-martial. It has not been determined whether Manila hemp buyers are directly implicated. The prosecution against D. M. Carman, Senor Carranza and.others accused of trading with the insurgents has been abandoned. The military authorities con- sider that although the convictions of a number of Manila merchants would be practically certain were the investigations to continue, their prosecutions would be inexpedient, as the consequent damage to business would outweigh the good accom- plished. Provost General Davis, who has re- viewed the testimony in the Carman cases, said to a correspondent that while Carman could be convicted of trading with the insurgents, it would be unjust and Su | to punish him when nearly every trader in Manila is guiity oi simliar practices.

Sixty-Seven Firms in Phila- delphia Agree to the Demands. PITTSBURG, Pa., May 25.—President James O’Connell of the International As- sociation of Machnists, who was here to- day, said that 24,000 machinists are on strike throughout the country, while 52,- 000 have returned to work. This equais the total number of machinists in the organ- izaticn. President O'Connell predicts an early settlement with all the manufactur- ers. FHILADELPHIA, May 2.—The end of the first week of the machinists’ strike in city shows that sixty-seven firms have agreed to the nine-hour work day with compensation for ten hours. Of these forty were pledged to the change before the strike was ordered, twenty- seven employers having made the conces- sion since Monday. About 2800 men are at work under the new conditions, 2000 are on strike and 1200 remain in the shops un- der the ten-hour scale. —_— LOCAL STRIKE SITUATION. Negotiations Pending May Result in Harmonious Adjustment. The Risdon, following the lead of the Union Iron Works, has posted this no- tice: Machinists and all machine-shop hands will please return tools and tool-boxes to tool- room and obtain clearance cards at once. Ma- chinists and all machine-shop hands having clearance cards will be pald in full Monday, May 27, between 2 and 2:30 p. m.—Risdon Iron ‘Works. The Coast Seamen’s Union has asked all affillated bodies to contribute to the cause of the striking workingmen. It is proposed to raise a fund of $1000 outside ofpthe per capita tax of 5 cents per week imposed by the Labor Council. Both at the headquarters of the striking machinists, at Sixth and Clara streets, and the rooms occupied by those who are directing the affair nothing was doing. The doors were closed early and the prin- cipals retired for a much-needed rest. It appears unlikely that any definite result will be reached for some time to come, but there is a general feeling that a bar- monious adjustment will be reached pend- ing negotiations leaning that way. e S GREAT UNION FOR CHICAGO. All of the Labor Organizations Are to Be Consolidated. CHICAGO, May 2%.—At the suggestion of President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor a move- ment was started to-day to cement all labor organizations of Chicago into one great central body, which shall officially represent the 100,000 union men of the city. This is to be done through the absorption by the Chicago Federation of Labor of the other smaller central bodies now repre- senting various lines of trade and the gathering of unions not now affiliated with the central organizations. This plan was decided upon at a confer- ence held between President James H. Bowman and other representatives of the Chicago Federation of Labor and Presi- dent Samuel Gompers, Vice President Thomas I. Kidd and Treasurer John B. nnon, composing a committee of the executive council of the American Feder- ation of Labor. Striker Grabs a Woman.
