GRAVE CHARGES
Made Against Gov. ZuIick by Special Reporters of the
 San Francisco Call.

A gentleman in Los Angeles con firms the press dispatch of Thursday about Governor Zulick's connection with certain transactions in Sonora. Governor Zulick was president of the New Jersey and Sonora Reduction Company, which bought nine copper and silver mines, near Nacosari, on the installment plan, and gave a work ing bond. The capitalists in New Jersey honored the drafts of the of fcers in Sonora to the extent of $120,- 900 for roads, works and labor. The bond expired in October, 1884, and the company had received no profit. Korner & Peterson, who kept store at Ochoaville, were forced to assign. The company owed them $23,000, United States Consul Willard at Quay mas $20,OO0, the Mexican miners about ut$10,O00, and Pesqueira, a nephew of the old General, $50,O00. In Feb ruary, 1885, Governor Zulick was at Nacasori and the Mexican miners de- manded their pay and made threats ..-o:oaG b;,o WI,oy, 4ho b,,o1ykoo rd left for Tombstone it drove away empty, but Governor Zulick had gone out by the back door and over the hills by roundabout way and met the stage about mile from the camp and came to Tombstone all right. The mines now are forfeited, and the m chinery is held for debt.
 The mines of the New Jersey and Sonora Mining Company are located in the Nacosari mining district, Sono- ra, Mexico. The mines were origin ally owned by c. T. Cutler, Bostwick and other Californians, and afterward Cutler became the sole owner. Cutler sold the mine "Cobriza" for $350,O00, the money to be paid if the mine proved satisfactory, after the company had erected works and run them for ninety days. To accomplish this end, Cutler was to place the deed to the mine in escrow with one of the New York trust companies. If the New Jersey and Sonora company failed to pay the S35O,OOO, all the works and improvements were to go to Cutler. In some way not accounted for the deed was made and delivered to Gov ernor Zulick and the company's stock was placed in escrow instead of the deed. The mine lately stood in the name of Governor Zu,ick. The works were failure, not being adapted to the ore. The workInen and merch- ants were left unpaid. A. Willard, the American Consul at Guaymas, advanced $14,000 under directions from Willard Richards, the treasurer of the company, which has never been paid. Governor Zulick of Ari- zona was president and Thomas Parish, the superintendent of the company, is now Assistant Secretary Of Arizona and the private secretary of the Governor. Senator McPherson of New Jersey, a director of the com pany, was generally understood as having secured Zulick's appointment. Cutler, the original owner of the mines, went to see Consul Willard at Guaymas to get assistance to recover the mines, but he took the yellow fever and died at Hermosillo, penni- less, and was buried by friends, short time since. When Governor Zulick visited the mines in October, the em- ployes eudeavored to prevent his leaving the country, as they had not been paid off for long time. A large number of American workmen, it is alleged, were left at thesmines penni- less. The Cobriza mine is considered valuable, but the ore is very difficult to work. This mining scheme should not be charged to Arizona, as neither the president nor any of the officers were citizens of the Territory.
 Governor Zulick passed through Arizona several times to the mines in
 Sonora, prior to his appointment as
 Governor, but at the time of his ap-
