MCRDERS TWO, KILLS HIMSELF Pennsylvanian Shoots His‘i Sister and Her Husband and Then Takes Own Life GREED PROMPTS CRIME Slayer Believed to Have Taken Lives in Order to Obtain Savings of Couple PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5—Joseph Sheaser and his wife, Elizabeth, who weére married about & month ago, were #hot and kilied by Harry Fisher, aged | 80 years, the woman's brother, in their bome early to-day. Fisher also shot Bimself, succumbing+to the wound to- | might. The motive for the crime is sald to bave been robbery. Mr. and Mrs. Sheaser had $1000 in the house with which they had intended to purchase a bome. The money was stolen. Fisher | admitted his guilt. After the commisgion of his crime | Fisher concealed himself in the loft of | & stable in the rear of the house.| Racked by remorse, he tdrned the pis- tol on himself. The shot not proving fatal, he left his hiding place and sur-| yendered to the police. Before he became unconscious Fisher | said Sheaser had broken up his home and this was the cause of the crime. | No credence is given this explanation. —_—————————— GROCERS ARRANGE DAY FOR ANNUAL PICONIC Schuetzen Park Will Be Socene of | Merry 'Times on Wednesday [ Next.

Novel Method of Dredging for Gold Is Adopted. 0ld River Channel Is Found Near Weaverville ———— Deals in mining property of some size are interesting the mining men |in various parts of California. The largest involves the transfer of the Mammoth mine in Shasta County, & | copper property, that is reported by the Redding papers to have been pur- chased under a bond of $140,000 by R. M. Saelzer, Anton Jaegel and Jo- seph Kahny by Fred G. King and John Filllus of Denver. The pur- chasers are reported to have resold the same property at an advance. Large figures are mentioned’ as the price on the resale, ranging from $250,000 to $325,000. The Mammoth mine 1s two and one-half miles south- west of Kennett, in the Backbone min- ing district, about fifteen miles from Redding. It embraces a group of claims including something like 900 acres. A large amount of ore has been blocked out. A mile of tunnels has been run and $40,000, according to reports, has been expended in develop- ment work. It is locallx supposed that a smelter will be erected on the property soon. In Nevada County a deal has been made by which Henry Huckins, Shelby H. Huckins, Robert F. Huckins and Aifred Scrivens take the Round Moun- tain and Round Mountain Extension The prop- situated on the Lower not far from Nevada City. The sell- ers are James Landers and Henry Goering. Of more general interest is the leas- ing of the somewhat famous tin mines at Temescal, in Southern California. The mines are to be operated again. The Redlands Review says of the Temescal proposition: George 1. Lecnard of Corona & mining and electrical engineer, is in charge of reopening | the famous tin mines at Temescal, property that a dozen or 80 years ago made and lost so much money. Mr. Leonard says that he and his associates already have a small plant at work on the property, having secured a twenty-year lease from the English owners of all the mining interests connected with the property and an option to purchase the claims as well. The present force of men and the prsent plant are engaged in working over the tailings which the former owners discarded and Mr. Leonard says they are getting a nice profit out of the tailings, which are tin, the methods of the former ment not having been such as tract nearly all the valuable mineral from t concentrates. None of the concentrates ha yet been smelted, as the smelter put in by t former owners will be utilized, and it is large as to require a big run in order to make its use economical. Accordingly no smelting will be done until a large amount of concen- trates has been accumulated. A force of seven men is now employed and the management hopes to increase this number Soon, When a crushing plant shall have been installed, and ore, not tailings, shall be handled. But the B00D tons of tallinga now on the dump offers a great deal of profitable work for the present and nets a good return. SUTTER COUNTY PROSPECT. T. L. Smith of Sutter County, who lives ten miles east of Yuba City, has tonded a ranch of 320 acres to James O’Brien Jr. of Sutter County, to be prospected for gold. The Sacramento Bee says: The first intimation Smith had that the precious yellow metal existed down deep in bis soll was several weeks ago, when he was boring two wells on the place, He was sink- ing the wells about fifty feet apart, and when his men had gone about twenty-five feet below | the surface they brought up black sand show- ing traces of gold. This rather excited Smith, to make sure that his eyes did not de- ‘= him, he took the samples of sand o a local mining man, who agreed with him that it was gold-bearing sand such as is usually found in old river chani few days a proposition to bond his made by O'Frien. He asked for si time 1in which to make the test, and expects to put | drills to work on the iand within the mext week or so. Smith confident that at some time the Feather River had a weil-defined channel through the part of the country where it is believed the gold exists, It is also the opinion of many that the Featber at one time flowed through what is now the Yuba City Siough. Should O'Brien’s investigations prove that there is gold in paylng quantities under the land he has bonded, Sutter County may ex- perience a boom in gold mining—an industry Do one ever imagined would ever develop in thls low, level country. A discovery of supposed importance is the finding of an old river channel about one mile from Weaverville, Trinity County. The Red Mountain Mining Company has been operating in that vicinity. The Redding Search- light gives an account of the discovery in part as follows: Numerous shafts and tunnels penetrate the mountain side. Some of them came near hi ting the mark, but when the more effective hyaraulic process was applied a few bedrock cuts up the mountain side exposed the channel. It emerges from the mountain side at & slight and, after losing the protection of its mountain cover, bas been broken down and eroded A number of the old-time attempts to find it were made above and along this broken @own portion under the erronsous assumption that it was stil under the mountain, Its bottom has been cleared for a dis- tance of 100 feet, and under the influence of the overfiow stream its contents throughout the next 400 feet have broken down, exposing the clean face of its outer rim. This caving @own extends across the channel for a dis- | tance of 250 feet, and its inner rim has not yet appeared, except at the point of discov- | ery. From the discoveries now made m following facts are established: The grade is gentle and the flow in a southerly direction. The width of the channel from rim to rim is about 800 feet. The highest part of the rim yet dis- covered 1s more than 100 feet vertically above the bottom. Its outer rim has been definitely located for a distance of 1500 feet intact, and the trend of the stratification lines indicates a total distance of half a mile of intact channel. | Through a portion of this distance it 1s capped by @ mountain of gravel 300 feet high. The gravel that has thus far been piped fromi the channel has yielded some heavy gold. The channel bottom is elevated aproximately 600 feet above the present Trinity River channel. The new mill of the Central mine ir Nevada County has been started. It is a forty-stamp mill. Twenty stamps are dropping. The capacity of the mill is to handle 120 tons of ore every twenty-four hours, CONCERNS THE NIAGARA. The Grass Valley Union furnishes some information that may be inter- esting to the stockholders in the Niagara mine, situated in the Rough and Ready district in Nevada County. This mine was formerly exploited by The Union says: Inquiries have been received here lately ask- ing as to the condition of the Niagara mine in Rough and Ready district. The inquiries are mainly from Iowa, by persons who are stock- holders in the Niagara Mining Company. They want to know whether the mine is running and when it will pay dividends. of the inquirers state they are poor people who A gentleman Who vVisited the mine a few days 2g0 in order to intelligently answer an inqui from the East says that the Niagara ml‘:nz mill are both idie, and have not been running since last January or February. There is 5 atchman at the mine, and the Cornish pump l-hntnluuhep it drained. The owners property are, or at least were until very recently, it is satd, in San ping with the company, will acquire mubwfiunhm 4 Rock Creek, | the big | publication which formerly ‘“‘boosted” Balliet end the Niagara (o the skies in its recent is- sues does not recommend the Niagara Mining Company, and the Inconsistency of the publi- cation is remarked. Nothing definite can be learned from local sources as to the present condition and future intentions of the Niagara Mining Company, and the inquiries from the East have to be answered accordingly. According to the Yreka Journal considerable is golng on among the mines of Siskiyou County. A strike of good prospects has been made about fifteen miles from Nolton and the claim has been bonded to Mr. Staple of Ashland for $125,000. The Journal continues: The great Blue Ledge copper mine in Elliott Creek district is fifteen miles from Nolton, Klamath County, from which point a wagon road could mo build down into ‘Oregon. The Eillott Creek mines are 2ll on this side of the divide at the Oregon boundary, and are destined to prove the buslest mining camp in Siskiyou when that section is thoroughly developed and opened with trade avenues. Mining IS carried on suc- cesstully day and night in the Minetta B and Williams Point claims near Happy Camp. O. G M & P, Company (Van Brunt mine), Happy f‘nmv district, cessful geason. Wkhen the mine closes for sum- mer extensive improvements are to be made. The Pacific States Mining Company, two miles from Nolton, will during August finish the flume which 'is to convey bank water to their new diggings, and have started work on the upper lume to furnish water. Mining is prose- fully in the Classic Hill Camp, worked by Captain Mul'!ns representing & Los Angeles company, with John Wood superintendent of mining oper- ations. The Mount Vernon group of quarts ledgee at the summit of the divide between Greenhorn and Cherry creeks, about a couple of hundred vards east of the stage road, now worked with a good force and the prospécts are very encouraging. The company has bullt plece of roal around the hiil to the mines d has had a survey made toward securing & patent, with the intention of putting up & mill on further development. NOVEL GOLD DREDGING. Something novel in the shape of a gold dredger is now operating in the Sacramento River at Middle Creek, three miles above Redding. The Red- ding Searchlight says of the ap- paratus: This distinctive advantage is that it cleans up the gold from the cracks and crevices in the bedrock under any depth of water as per- cuted very succe: mine at Happy fectly as a housewifs can brush up dirt from | cracks in the floor. In its operation submarine divers can work on the river bottom, watch- ing the work golng on and seeing that every pocket of gold is conveyed to the surface. No £coops or shovels are used. All holsting Is | done with & rock pump. The boat is 65 feet | long and 24 feet wide and draws two fest of water. Through the bottom of the boat is sunk a steel ghaft, In sections, to any depth required. This working shaft is, roughly 8% feet by 1115 feet, a cross section being boat- shaped, the prow pointing up stream to break the force of the current. The two bottom seo- tions are cylindrical, the one that rests on the river bed being provided with a water- Light door for the ngress and egress of the iver. Down this shaft passes the 10-inch column of a rock pump and also & 2-inch rubber hose, through which water may be forced at 100- pound pressure. This water jot is made to clean out cracks and crevices in the bedrock. Boulders that are too large for the pump to bandls are at present hoisted to the surface in buckets or by ropes, the submarine divers at the bottom doing the loading. This labor Wil be obviated when & section of the river bed has been cleaned up. Then the boulders will be rolled back upon the séction that has been mined. Euppose operations are about to commence. The steel ehaft is extended down through the water to the gravel on the river bed. The rock pump s started holsting the gravel on the boat, where it is run over sluices, as In all placer mining. The pump handles & cublo yard ot gravel a minute and enough water to wash it. Rocks up to a diameter of 9% {nches @re pumped up as readily as a pebble. Th: largest rock pumped was 9% inches in diam ter and 171 inches long, weighing 58 pounds. The submarine divers work in the shaft or outside, at pleasure, and may remain under the surface half & day at a time If necessary. When boulders too large for the pump are encountered they are hoisted in the manner previously described—if up the shaft, the diver steps out throvgh the door at the river bot- tom for mafety. In case the boulder should break lcose from its lashings; if on the out- side of the shaft, the course of the diver is reversed. The ehaft is lowered, literally, as work pro- greeses until bedrock is reached. At Middle Creek the bedrock is 25 feet below the river bed, which s a llks number of feet below the surface of the water. It is when bedrock is reached that dredger proves its greatest effectiveness, the for it 1s In the crevices of the bedrock that pock- | ets of gold are most likely to be found. The rubmarine diver, with his hose with water under 100-pound pressure, turns on the jet that sweeps every particle of gold toward the mouth of the rock pump column. The radius of its effectiveness is 215 feet. The dredge is easily shifted to mew ground when desired. The company has three mil of river bed and its richness is beyond ques- tion. Middle Creek produced millions in early days for the placer miner. The gold that the creek carried into the Sacramento has never been touched before. A special correspondent of the Seats tle Times writes from Nome as fol- lows: Mine owners are now facing the shortest season in the history of the camp. Besides a noticeable shortage in water for sluicing pu: poses the ground s frozen to m great depth. Mining bas practically been at a standstill since. the first boats arrived. In the last two weeks work has picked up on several of the creeks in the vicinity of Nome, and shouid there be a late spring the gold output may equal the record of 1903. Operators at Nome are now looking forward to heavy ratns. In the winter months the snowfall was unusually light. The ground was left without proteotion, and In some places it has frozen to a depth of sixty feet. Buflding in the town of Nome has been out of the question and Ice has been encountered at & depth of two feet under ground. Before the first boats reachcd Nome this season the operators were confldent of an early season. In fact, Indica*ions pointed that way. The light snowfall has Isft the ditches without the customary supply of water and there is no snow In the mountains to melt should there be heavy and warm rains. In the early part of the present month there were four days of rain, but the fall will not be of much benefit to the miners unless the rains continue for some weeks. A visit to the various creeks reached by the Nome and Arctic Rallroad immediately convinces most any one that work is not being . ted. Operators have machinery on the ground and crers are walting to go to work, but It is & question If the ground will break up in time tc warrant the operators spending their tim> and money sluicing the gravel.
