A READY PISTOL
JOHN REEVES FATALLYSHOOTS
MANLY GRlGGS.
WITHO UT PROPAGATION"
Is the Verdict Rendered by the Cor
oner's Jury.
The Murderer iH J0it.

Citizens of Camden were greatly
shocked last Saturday afternoon as
the dreadful words "John Reeves
has shot and killed Manly Griggs"
swiftly went from mouth to mouth,
and soon little knots Of her citizens
could be seen gathered on the cor
ners of the streets discussing the
terrible news and asking for partic-
ulars, which no one seemed to be
able give.
THE SHOOTING
occurred at about 4.30 o'clock on
henorth platform of the Nashville,
Chattanooga, and St Louis Rail
road depot, in South Camden, and,
although there are conflicting re-
ports, the following particulars are
as near as we can get at them:
Reeves was driver of the Arnold
House hack that is run to meet
trains. Griggs accompanied him
on his trip to meet the afternoon
train. Both were more or less I'M
der the influence of whiskey. AS
Reeves was making arrangements to
return to town Griggs asked if he
could ride up with him. Reeves
said he could if he had % cents.
Griggs' reply was that he had
$40 but he { Reeves) was none the
better off by it. Reeves then said
[ always knew there was no good
in you. Griggs answered that there
was more than he could get out
Reeves then jerked out his pistol
and
FIRED THREE TIMES
in rapid succession, two of which
struck Griggs. Either would have
resulted fatally.
: Reeves drove to town and was
soon seen making his escape, going
: in a westerly direction. He was
found hiding in J. W. Fussell's hay
loft Sunday afternoon, and takel
in custody, without resistance, BY

Mining Intelligence. FROM MoHAvE COUNTY.

The Mohave Miner contains the 1 following:
 Owing to the fact that suits in volving the title to the Diamond Joe mine in Cedar district will be tried in the District Court next month. work will be temporarily suspended on that property. The mine, during the past eight months, has been opened up in good shape. There are now nearly one thousand feet of tunnels, shafts and levels on the vein. The ore chute has kept a regular widthi of over two feet for ninety feet in depth and shows up bigger and better than ever in the bottom. The mine should have mill erected on it right away that the thousands of tons of ore, too low grade for shipment, may be profitably worked lncidently we mention the fact that no ore of value of less than one hundred dollars can be shipped with profit from that district.
 The Cupel mine has been shut down. Defective machinery was the primary cause of the shut down. The mine has been large producer of the precious metals, and as soon as the replacement of the present machinery can be made to work will be started up on a larger scale than ever.
 The Olympia mine, formerly the Martiniz, is being worked by James Bissett and ]. C. Odgen This is the first work done on the claim. al though the croppings in many places show considerable high grade min eral. The shaft has been sunk twelve feet, three tons of ore running three hundred dollars in silver per ton have been taken from it. Messrs. BisSett and Ogden are first class miners and will make the property give a good report of itself while it remains in their hands.

Closing of the congres. Mn.

Rumors of various sorts have been afloat during the past few days, con corning the closing down of the Con gress mill. so that the JoURNAL-MINER man called on Superintendent Murphy to-day and asked him con corning the truth of such rumors.
 "Yes," said Mir. Murphy, "I have given orders to close the mill down on the first. The reason for doing so is that the construction of the $. F., P. X P. railroad isnow an assured fact and as is well known the Con gress mining company is financially fixed so that it is not only not obliged to run it's mill but Is assisting tnan- ciallv in the construction of this road. The building of the road means saving to the company in transportation from S75,0O0 to SlOO,' OOO per year, an item certainly worth saving"
 "The mine is looking better to- day." continued Mir. Murphy, than it has at any time since work was commenced on it. and while of ne cessi.y the working force will bt reduced some, work will be continued in the mine until all facilities at oui command for the storage of ore have been exhausted or until the mil starts up again. The freighting out fits have also been reduced but there are enough concentrates and ore or hand now to keep a few teams em ployed probably all of next month We will close the mill with severa months supplies of all kinds or hand, and within six months of thu completion of the railroad to thu mine, it will be started up again and the product stored until th' ' road is completed 'he-e."
