too much for his constitution. He is

Still Secretly Searched for by Those
Who Have a Clue.
Way back in '78, when the railroad
terminus was at Yuma, and the re-
porter was half-fedged tenderfoot in
Arizona, a time-hardened prospector
strayed into Phoenix from the country
lying south of the stage station at Mari
copa Wells, and created quite furry
among tile transient population of
miners and prospectors by exhibiting
about twenty-five pounds of ore appar-
emily composed of galena and sulphur
cts in equal parts. Hon. De Forest
Porter, OF honored memory, and at that
time district judge of the third judicial
district of Arizona, had the ore reduced
by Joe Porterie, who pronounced it
mass of argentite and galenite assay
ing rs per cent of silver.
The prospector explained that the
ore was part of a boulder of float" that
he had found in the dry range thirty
miles south of the stage station, and
that as he was suffering for water at the
time, he did not try to trace up the
ledge.
Judge Porter staked the man forth
with with what clothing and provisions
he needed, and started him off on his
little old horse to find the rich deposit
The prospector never returned, and,
after several months had passed, it was
concluded that he had died on the des
ert, and the matter was forgotten until
several years later the skeleton Of man
was found in the foothills OF the Vekol
range, near an old dry water tank.
From the finding of the remains sew
eral prospectors thought they had
clue to the silver deposit, and many
parties secured the surrounding country
with no success. At occasional inter-
walls since that time Indians have
brought in specimens of the same ore,
and it is evident that in that vicinity
somewhere there is fabulously rich
silver mine.
Two weeks ago, as was published at
that time in the Republican, an Indian
brought some of the identical ore to
Phoenix, and, as was stated at the time,
a Mexican endeavored to have the In
dian guide him to the spot where he
found the ore. The Indian, after start
ing with him, turned back and refused
to go any farther. The latest phase of
the question is that two days ago the
same Mexican started out alone to find
the treasure that he is sure exists for
him in those blue mountains south of
the railroad, 1.

What Northern Paper Has to Say
About Our TrOtters.
The Breeder and Sportsman is full of
Mckinney this week. 1t says among
other things:
It's pity that Mckinney was eased
up in his 2:l71s heat at Stockton last
week. Although this is the fastest time
that we can recall for 4-year-old stall
lion lin race on the Pacific coast, still
horsemen are unanimous in the opinion
that the son of Alcyone could have
trotted a mile that day in 2:l51a. If
there is horse of any age in the state
that has any license to beat Mckinney
very badly at this writing, we don't
know where the animal is to be found.
Hldalgo writes as follows: ''The VIC
tory OF Durfee's great brown colt Nc
Kinney at Stockton proves our correct
estimate of him at the San Jose meet
ing, as we'll as the high opinion of him
given by Mr.. Benjamin, OF Los Angeles,
at the state fair. He can beat any
stallion on the ground except Silas
Skinner, said that young gentleman,
and you must remember also that Nc
Kinney is not only four.year- old but a
comparatively late foal at that Mr..
Durfee has very handsome little horse
and one that is very choicely bred. Sit
uated as he is at Los Angeles, he may
not get many good mares, but there are
plenty of them here that would be bred
to him if he were located nearer to u.s. F."
Dick Richmond, an old Los Angeles
favorite, gets the following good send
off in the same paper:
Dick Richmond, gray son OF A. w.
Richmond 1857, made trotting record
of 2:23 at Santa Ana, last Tuesday. He
wound up the season of 1880 with a
record OF 2:371a, and it will thus be seen
that he has lowered his mark just Az
seconds in 1S91-a larger cut than any
horse in the country, that we can now
recall-that is, in the same space Of
time. Leon 2:261s and Dick Richmond

SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. The sixty
second semi-annual conference OF the
church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, convened in the tabernacle this
morning, over ten thousand of the faith
full being in attendance. For the first
time in over seven years all the leading
officials were present. The day was de-
voted to speech making, the three presi-
dents, MILFORD, Woodruff, Joseph f.
Smith and George Q Cannon being the
principal speakers. All returned thanks
to the president for exercising clemency
toward Smith, and called upon the
saints to pray for him that the Lord
might bless him for his goodness. They
also believed the hour of final triumph
over the enemies OF the church was APP
preaching, and reiterated the belief that
their religion with all its peculiar tenets,
was the only religion. The conference
will last three days, and the remainder
OF the session will be devoted to bust
ness matters. The feature of today's
session was a choir of six hundred
voices, said to be the largest ever gath
cred together in house OF worship.

THE Los ANGELES CHAMPION.


Gossip About the Champion PAGERS
Since 1845.
In 1916, August 18th, the chestnut
pacing gelding, James X. Polk, turned
the old Union course on Long Island in
2;27, and that performance stood as the
worlds record until September 8, 1852,
when the roam gelding Pet went mile
on the same course in 2:l8%. For
seventeen years no PAGER was found to
lower this mark, but on October 81,
1869, the dun gelding Yankee Sam paced
mile on the Urichsville, Ohio, track in
2:16L. He held the honor five years,
losing it to the famous black gelding
Rowdy Boy, at Rochester, August IA,
1874, the mile being covered in 2:13M.
Five years went by before, on July 70,
1879, Sleepy Tom stepped a mile in
2:12H on the Chicago track and became
champion. Two years passed, and Lit
tie Brown jug appeared. On the 23d OF
August, 1881, at Hartford, Conn.,. the
brown gelding from Tennessee went I'M
der the wire in 2:11M. He held the
crown two years before, on the
9th of October, 1883, he sur
rendered it 10 Johnston, whose
lille IN III Sci all lOnRuob WdSBluS.
Within six days Of one year later the
champion set new mark for the side
wheelers to shoot at when he paced
mile against time in 2:064. Year after
year the fast PAGERS shot at the target,
but the bulls eye was small and no one
succeeded until September 4. 1891,
when Direct, Directors fast and double
gated son. reeled off mile against the
watch at Independence in ZOO, and be-
came not only the champion PAGER, but
the champion pacing stallion as we'll. A
study of the table of champion PAGERS
shows that of the eight but one is
stallion, and it is not the least remark
able that he is the fastest of the lot.
Every one of the eight was or is race
horse, and demonstrated time and again
in races that he could go the route and
go fast. But three OF the records which
have stood at the head were made in
contests against time. So far as is
known, all these performers, except
Direct, had a strong infusion of pacing
blood from either sire or dam; the lat
ter, and the fastest, is by sire with a
trotting record OF 2:l7, and out OF dam
with trotting record of 2:231s.-

New Army Rules.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.--The president
has prescribed set OF rules, which
have been promulgated by the secretary
OF war, providing for a system of
examinations to determine the
fitness for promotion of all Off
cels of the army below the grade of
major. When congress passed the act
of October l, 1890, providing for snch
examinations, it went into effect imme-
diately, and, in order to adjust the
scheme to men who had made no prep
aration for the examinations, the re-
qurements were somewhat limited.
The act now has been in operation a
year, and it is deemed proper to make
the examinations more searching and
to establish a much higher order of re-
quirements as the condition of promo
ton. To that end the new rules have
been prescribed, but in order that
injustice shall not be done, and that all
officers shall be afforded ample time 10
prepare themselves for the ordeal, the
rules will not be applied until January

A San Diego Nan Wreaks Terrible Ven
geance on His Wife.
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 4.-Oliver Conelly, a
gardener, was shaving this morning and
talking to his wife, who paid no atten-
ton to his remarks, as he was drunk
and used obscene language. He be-
came enraged because she remained
silent, and rushing at her with uplifted
razor, slashed the helpless woman across
the throat. She tried to escape, but be
made another cut, severing an artery
of the right wrist. The woman ran
screaming into the yard, the husband
chasing her with the razor in his hand.
She escaped, and he returned to the
house, where he was found later with
his own throat cut, and apparently
dead. Physicians were summoned, and
after long exertions the woman was
saved. The man is so badly injured
that it is thought he will die. He was
removed to the Jail, where he now lies.
