To be Continued To-day. Court met promptly at ten o'clock Wednesday morning, with all officers and thejury in the Jackson homicide case present. District Attorney McLaughlin, an nounced that several of bis witnesses were then on the way up from Slurgis, but could not possibly reach here be fore 11 a. m. He accordingly moved that recess be taken until that time.

At eleven, however, these witnesses were still absent, and another recess was taken until 1:30 p. when the case was at length opened. After read ing the indiotment to the trial jury, prosecuting attorney McLaughlin, explained to them what the territory ex-peoted to prove. Passing from this to the gravity of the case, and the heoi-ousness of the offense with wbioh de fendant Jackson stands charged, Mr. McLaughlin spoke for some fifteen or twenty minutes longer, recalling to the memory of the jurors, the oath each bad taken, and expressing himself as fully sensible ol the great responsibility circumstances had thrust upon them.

This body, was the only one that by license and authority of the laws of the land, held power of life and death. It could determine whether the defendant at the bar of justice, should go free, should be punished by imprisonment for a term of years, or should pay upon the gallows, the ignominous penalty for the crime, with whioh he stands accused. lhe governor of a state, or the president of our nation haa the power to pardon; a merciful power to be exercised in his discretion under certain contingencies. Yet whilst these have the power to spare life, no law sanotions them in ordering death. This power, by the constitu tion of our country, is vested alone in jury of twelve men.

The speech was listtned to attentive ly, and impressed not only the jury to which it was delivered, but every in ividual in the court room, as ao able, loeuent and impartial effort. The tes timony now began for the prosecution, with that of Dr. G. Smith. Dr.

Smith testified in substance that he had been invited by the attending physician to William Jenkins, of whose murder the defendant stands ac cused, at the Pierson House, Sturgis, about the lO.h day of July, 1887. He aooepted the invitation, and from that day until July 18ib, whon Jenkins died daily visited the wounded man. On the 18th he held a post mortem exam ination on the body. This demon strated that the ball bad entered the left hip, and taking a course slightly upward, gone straight to the backbone, where it lodged. He had extracted the the ball, had it with him, and produced The ball, broken and chipped by contact with the back bone, was of fered in evidence.

Death resulted from blood poisoning. In his opinion blood poisoning was caused by the leaden bullet. The de fense did not cross examine. Dr. Pratt; was a graduate of a medical school; knew William Jenkins.

Saw him on or about the 8th day of last July. Was called to attend him. Jen kins was suffering from a gun shot wound in the left hip; that Jenkins died on July 18tb, 1887; that in bis opinion, death was the result of blood poisoning Droduced by the gun shot wound. Had not heard Jenkins state be did not ex sect to recover. Did not assist at the post mortem.

Dr. A. H. Bowman was a graduate of a medioal school, bad practiced medicine and surgery about eight years. The balance of Dr.

Bowman's testi mony was in substance identical with that of Dr. Pratt; be did not assist at the post mortem. Neither this witness nor Dr. Pratt were subjected to cross examination. The next and last witness introduced by the prosecution was Alfred Bowman upon whose teetimoi almost the en tire case for the territory is rested.

Bowman claims to have been an eye witness to the homicide. He was hunting and happened to ride in the locality where the shooting took place; as be surmouoted a ridge he heard a ahot Looking io the direction whence it it came, he saw Jenkins on horseback and driving a steer. Presently he saw a puff of smoke rise about 75 yards the other aide of Jenkins, immediately followed by the leport of a gun' Jenkins fell. and tooking where the smoke had risen he first saw a man's hat, and then a man appear. This eobsejueotiy proved to be Ira Jackson, the defendant.

Witness rode hastily to where Jenkins had fallen. He was joined there by Jaiksoc. Witness ask ed Jack son what it all meant. Jackson replied he had "told Jenkins not to take that steer; that he Had taken it, and he had ter demand, and perhaps a trifle strong er than the day before. The first feel icg of depression bas passed, and oper ators are again at work.

As usual, Iron Hill was the most conspicuous figure. Sales were, however, small in the aggregate, and certainly did not exceed 1200 shares for the day. Prices varied from 35c. to 36Jo. Enumerable orders arrived by telegraph, and letters to purchase blocks of from 100 to 1000 whenever the stock touches 30c.

Whether these orders will be filled is yet uncertain, though the outlook is at present against any further decline. Rattler Gilroy and Mutual were oth er stocks dealt in, the former at 7c, the latter on terms kept private between buyer and seller. A NEW DOLLAR.

THE CALEDONIA.

Thomas H. White writes a very in-tete-tiog letter to the Financial and Mining Record, in which the following appears as part to a ques'ion asked: Do you think the stockholders of the Caledonia would be surprised to get a dividend prdty soon, or are they surprised that one has not been declared before now? For my own part, I think tbey are in a fair way to get one pretty soon, judging from what bas been done in the past, aud the present outlook. It is said the mine was never looking belter. They are sloping ore from both the Eat and Discovery lodes and from every level in the trine. Qiitea con trast compared with the condition ol the mine two years ago at the time Mr.

Skinner, the present superintendent, took charge. At that time there was not a ton of ore insight; Discovery lode was abandoned and allowed to cave in, the milling ore supposed to have given out. The East or Caledonia lode bad been worked to the fourth level, and the workings allowed to cave in. Mat ters at that time looked exceedingly blue for Caledonia stockholders, and I hardly think BDy of them, bad they known the condition of the mine, would have thought they could have opened out the mine and began muling ore again without paying several assess ments. The mill has been kept going, the fifth level has been opened up, new machinery put in oocsistiDg of pumps, air compressors and rock drills, a new ore bio erected and a large sized GateB crusher placed in it improvements in all amounting to $100,000 have been made and paid for out ol the mine pro duct.

And now these extraordinary expenditures are over with, and the company have a great deal of good ore blocked out ready for blasting and running through the mill, it is reasonable to suppose that a dividend will soon be in order. How this bas been accomplished, may be tbe subject of a future letter. A FALSE REPORT. It was recently rumored that the Father de Smet and Dead wood-Terra Mining companies were to be con solidated. We are officially informed by the cfScers of these companies that this report is without foundation.

The Dead wood-Terra Mining Company has b.en operating the mill of the Father de Smet Mining company for a year past, and this may have been a basis for tbe rumor. The stock of tbe latter company bas shown a declining tendency, going from 55 to 43j. Dead wood -Terra shows no transactions. Home-stake sales at $11 50f 11, and Iron Hill some at M. Journal.

A NEW MAP. Thos. H. White, has during the last three or four years been gathering to- eetherdata, from which to make a map of the entire Bald mountain and Ruby Basin mining district. The map will show tbe true positkn of each and every claim io (be district, as it is to be made from held notes of actual surveys.

The scale will be 600 feet to an inch. The map will be a valuable addition tolbeiffice of every broker and business man in the community and will no doubt command a ready sale. FLOAT.

Washington, Mroh 7. The friends of the bill lor the opening of the Sioux reservation bare bees here for two days, and they were showing considerable anxiety yesterday, fearing that it would not be reaohed by the house, and would go over for some days, as the Duffy vs. Davidson contested election case was liable to occupy considerable time. This morning when the Sioux reservation bill was reached the friends of the bill could be Heen straining every nerve to reaob prominent positions. The bill met with little opposition when it was reached and about two o'olock.

it paused and soon afterwards it reached the senste. As all the points in the Sioux bill have been considered with the consent of Dawes and hii friends, it is almost certain that the senate will also pan the same bill, and it will then become a law. The news bas been received throughout the territory with great enthusiasm, especially at Pierre and Chamberlain, where great bon fires are burning tonight. Postal Telegraph.

It is asserted here today that a will be ordered by Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood on all roads on which tbey handle Burlington freight. The Wabarh and St. Paul report today that they will uot handle any of the Burlington in ight, preferring to a law suit rather than a strike. Their last experience, the management says, was all they want in the line of strikes, and prefer to keep their road running regularly.
