The Sheep's Nest Mine.

"You bet your life," remarked Harry Newton to a CITIZEN reporter in the Palace hotel thls nor ing, "the oheey's Nest mine is all right. and fac state ment in the Star t1 the effect that 1t has 'petered out IS entirely false. The mine is showing up nicely and work IS being pushed with all rapidity, and the work ing force will next week be increased from two to three shifts. Il is not a 'petered' out mine by good deal, and ] know Of no 'petered out mines ln that vicinity. The mine, however, ls not now called the Sbeep's Nest, but has been consolidated with the Remnant and the North End, and all are called the North Peer mine. The indications are very favorable-so much so that the company decided to increase the force to three shifts, and that does not look much like there was any truth n the statement of the Star"
 MT. Newton says there is a prospect of some extensive discoveries beng made in mines outside of the bOnanzas at Q very early date and that many DliD- CTS who have for years rambled over the rocks and existed on acequla water and and brown beans, are now, m that camp, on the high road to fortune. There have recently been a number of what are termed small sales" m the Qui- jotoa mountains and others will follow. One man the other day sold a prospect hole for ten thousand and on Monday a prospector was offered twenty thousand dollars for newly located claim.

DISTRICT COURT.
Discharge Of the Gibson Jury-Other Mat
 ters of Minor Note

bischafEe or the Gibson Jury-Other Mat
 ters of Minor Note.
 Last night at half past eight o'clock the jury ;n the Gibson murder case re- turned to the court room and announc- ed that they could not agree upon the verdict. Judge Fitzgerald made few remarks and then discharged the jury.
 It was oS course unG e5stood that ex- treme measures had 4n taken to pre- vent the cropping of any feelings on the part ofjurors and expressions or mo- tions and signals to reporters, and the sad-eyed Bohemians were left Tn the cold. When the lury was discharged, however,the CITIZEN scribe was on hand and lost no time in corraling a majority Of the jury for an interview. All that could be learned was that the jury stood on the first and last baliOt-never changlng-nine for acquittal and three for conviction. One of them stated to the reporter quite coidentiRlly that the true feeling Of the jury was that four were for guilty of murder in the first de- gree, four for murder Tn the second de- gree and four for acquittal. There was considerable sentiment expressed among the jurors in the jury room but no change in tLe vote.
 MINOR MENTION.
 The case of J. R. Manning indicted for cutting wood on government land near SonOita station, has been set for May l2th, and the case of Daniel Dun- ham charged for a like offense, commit ted ou the Fort Lowell reservation, was set for the 9th instant.
 The morning hour of the court was taken up principally with motions and the presentation Of demurrers.
 In the divorce case of Carrie A. Gabriel against F. J. Gabriel, the court referred the matter to the court com missioner who Is instructed to take testi mony in the case.

THE OMEGA.
Another One of Pima County's Mines to
 Start Up.

Another One or Pima NOuH1ys Mines to
 Start Up.
 Hearing that there is probability that the famous Omega mine and mill are to be started up CITIZEN scribe hunted up Hon. Fred Hughes, the super 1ntendent to learn the facts. He stated that ln the organization of the company originally the Philadelphia parties were to have 120,000 shares of the stock and were to build the furnace. The original owners of the mine, Messrs. Tully, Hughes, Ochoa and Jeffords were to re- tain lS0,0O0 shares.
 "What about the suit in court?" asked the reporter.
 "Well, I will tell you all about It. We agreed to place 100000 shares of stock in escrow until the Sth day of last Octo- Der winch if they, the Philadelphia parties. failed to take at that time, was to revert to our hands. When the time for thls was nearly up they wanted us to give an extension of time on the call for the stock. We refused to give an ex- tension of time and they entered suit in the courts for S45,000 with the intention of freezing us out. This was done by the President of the company, Ming. Recently the senior partner n the firm, Mir. Homme, of Philadelphia, denied authorizing Ming to commence suit or that there was any cause for action. Mir. Hommel sent a power of attorney to the resident members of the company here to go on with work in the mine and start up the mill. The company as now or ganized has all of Ming's stock and re- gard the fact of having got rid of him as one that saves much trouble"
 What Is the condition vf the mine and smelter at presentY.
 'The property has been well taken care of, and is in excellent condition ready to sta-t,up at moments notice. So far as the mlne Is concerned there ls no doubt but that it is a most excellent one, and what you would call a bonanza. The only trouble is the embarrassing law suit, which was brought by designing parties. When work was shut down there were three hundred tons of good ore at the smelter and on the dump. It is, in fact, one of the best paying mines in lLlt ACLAaNOAs A4Nh niA n W tLH CtAtLA NN V n on the mine and mill 1t was paying $50 a day and expenses, and the smelter was running only two-thirds of the time, on | account of a scarcity of water. The water supply now. however, is abundant for running the smelter to its full capac- ity."
 What force will you work when the mine and smelter are started up?'
 We shall employ from eighty to nine ty men regularly in the mine and smelt- CT. This, however, does not include the teamsters."
 "Who will be the superintendent
 ''It is understood that l shall continue to hold that position"
 MT Hughes stated that as soon as the case was called in court 1t would be withdrawn, and that work would at once begin in both the shelter and mine.

Probably a False Report.

For two days taere have been runlors in this city to the effect that there were evidences of a 'erious uprising in Mexico among some leading politicians and the government. A CITIZEN re- porter this afternoon called upon Senor Don Lomeli, the Mexican consul in this city and questioned him regarding the matter. He states that up tO the 2Sth of April he had authentic adyices from hIs government and that nc features of a revolution had then appeared. lie stated that some American newspapers had mentioned troubles in the city of Mexico regarding the tax law and also that there had been trouble between the citizens of that Republic and the authorities of the Mexican Central ra l. road, but that the reports were entirely false.

FIeeced hY |cot-pads.

Foot-psds last night about 10 o'clock held up Gen. E. w. Rice, between the old school house and |. $. Saloon. He had been mp ,o the postoffice and WAS returning to his room in POrter's hotel and when at the point mentioned two men stepped in front of him, one O. whom placed the cold ste.l of the small end of six-shooter against his cheek and told him to hand out whatever vaiu- ables he had about hjs person. The Gen. eral, with all the dilnity of an experi- euced military official, handed ont his pocketbOos, watch and penkDife. As he never carries large amount of money on hIs person, the haul was not large one, and the success Of the two thieves was of minor importance He pleaded with the thieves that there was nothing Of value 60 any one but himself in the pocketbook, and begged them to return it to him. They refused, but afterwards threw the pOcket6ook and knife down, and they were found this morning by Sam Washburn. who witnessed the at tempted robbery, and handed to Chief Johnson.

 The reporter approached MT. Brannl- gan In the sleeper, and was pleasantly received by him. He introduced his wife, and stated that he was SO unfortu- nate as to have no more Ot a family to present. However" said he, "she is enough" and he patted her head atfec tionately.
 "Yes," said be, q am '49er, and I have undergone the vicissitudes of a checkered life, but l want yOu to say that I have always tried to be honest.

i Well Known COlorcd Woman At mpts
 Suicide.
 Thursday night about ten o'clock a corporaps guard of people were rushing around the streets hunting for a physician and announcing that colored woman, the wife of prominent Con gress street business man had taken poison with suicidal intent. A CITIZEN reporter ever on toe ele-t for up- pOrtunities to deal out sweet charity of which he has al aJundauce-joined in the chase for medical aId and for the space of about three hours the scene among the doctor hunters WAS one O. startling and dramatic interest. After lively run about the streets Dr. Watson was found and immediately called into service. When he inquired into the case he found that the woman had taken an overdose Of morphine for the pVr- pose of cutting the tender chords of her life which separate her from an unknown and uncertain eternity. Ex- plantations regarding the motive, on her part were somewhat ueager and as the family stands high In social circles among the c0lored pe0- pie there was a desperate and partially successful effort Co suppress the main facts. It was ascertaiued. however, that the husband of the unhappy woman had been lavishiag hIs warmed over affections on another lady of hIs race and had been somewhat derejict in his domestic duties of late. These rough relations wish domestic serenity brought about al unpleasaDtness which has existed for sometime and finally culmin- ated in the tragic event above recorded
 Soon after the doctor arrived active preparations for the restoration of life ensued and in a very short time the w0- man manifested evidences of relief and finally expressed the belief that she was feeling better.
 To-day the woman was dOng well and the doctor states, will recover. The uu- happy domestic fires have been entirely and the white winged mes senger of peace has secured the job of lowering around the domestic hearth stone in that family.
