CHUNEHUEVIkS MINES.
A New District That Has Suddenly
Sprung Into Fame.

New District That Has Suddenly
Sprung Into Fame.
W. j. Wiley. brother of ex-Surveyor
Wiley. has lately arrived in this city from
the Chunehuevias mining district on the
Colorado River, near the Needles.
He gives glowing account of the new
district. He states that some strikes of
wonderful richness have been made during
the past six months. The Pittsburg mine,
opened by Hutton & Hyde, has silver
ledge 10 inches to feet in width, which has
produced as high as 400 ounces of silver TO
the ton without asserting. The Horn mine.

1100 pounds Of ore to the reduction works at
the Needles and the return was Ss35 The
new range seems to have been overlooked by
prospeetors from the fact that water Is eX-
ceediDgly scarce and the country very
rough and broken. During the summer
months the thermometer climbs up so high

that matter. could not work.
Wiley cautions fOTtune-seekers from
going into the district. as capital is required
to develop the mines and there are any
number of men having claims who are
anxiously awaiting some one to come and
buy them out. The best mines in the dis
trct have been grabbed up already by
Colorado capitalists. who propose to spend
enormous sums in putting in plants.
The best strikes that have been made
have not proved 10 be very profitable to the
first locators, as in the majority of instances
they were willing TO sell out their rights
for from 500 To $3.50.
The district Is, however, bound to make a
record for itself In the mining world, aud it
is Mr.. Willey's opinion that "Chunehue-
Was" will rival the Comstock in its pro-
ductiOn of precious metals

Claus Spreekels, the sugar king, was

which arrived from Honolulu yesterday.
The millionaire looked ruddy and vigorous
as lie stepped into a carriage and was driven
off-fTst to his home, then to his Office.
MIR. Spreckels admits that the state OF
affairs on tie sugar plantations is most dis
couraging, and that tile finances Of the
Islands are in a condition that may easily
become or tical The island Government is
badly in debt, and this naturally prompts
revolutionary movements and chimereal
schemes Of reform. The sugar yield, ac-
cordng to Mr.. SpTeckels, will be about
20,000.tons less than last year. chiefly on ac-
count of droughts. He added that there is
no feeling among the natives in regard to
the recent annexation Of Johnston Island
by England. that little rock being out of
the scope of Hawaiian politics and the
islanders having much more pressing mat
ters to attend to AT home.
An advertisement appeared yesterday
inviting contractors to tender for the supply
OF 10000 yards of earth for filling at section
b, seawall, foot OF Powell street. 1t is well
known that there have been numerous and
Unexplained delays in this work since
their bondsmen took it up The work has
been stopped at various times on one ex-
cuSe or another, and litigation has gone on
merrlly all the time. In regard TO the adj
vertisement for the 10000 yards of earth, it
appears that it cannot be obtained on the
spot and that ii is required to fill up the
roadway after the rock has been laid down.
Ii is a common practice for contractors who
have surplus OF earth on hand from grad
Ing or eXcavatlng operations in other parts
OF the city to receive applications for the
waste al SO much per yard or carload, and
the filing advertised for is of the same kind
as the sand filling at section A OF the ferry

Ex-Supreme Court Justice Charles n.
Fox, General w. II. L. Barnes, S. G. Witter,
Deputy United States District Attorney,
aud George A. knight were on the stand
yesterday in the case of Ross VS.. Stambaugh
in Judge Slack's court. Ross sues to recover
fees as an attorney for securing the acquit-
tai Of Powell, who killed Editor Smith Of
Redwood City. Ex-Justice Fox testified
that Ross services were, in his judgment,
reasonably worth $1,000 to S12, ,000 and that
$500 would be fair remuneration for his
work in the case before the Supreme Court
General Barnes testified that he thought
Ross was entitled to fee of $500 in view
of the fact that he had saved man from
the gallows. The responsibility was terri-
BILE and tie compensation should be proper
tionate.
In reply to a question as 10 whether attor-
neys did not usually charge round fee, the
general replied with smile: "Well. / pre-
sumo thew charge as much as the traffic will
bear" III client ran out of money he
thought most lawyers would feel il their
duty TO go on with the case.
Deputy District Attorney Witter said he
understood from Ross that he expected to
get his fee from General Thomas Powell of
Ohio, his clients brother.
George A. Knight testified as to his con-
nection with the Powell case, taking little
professional credit TO himself for the ac-
Quittal secured.
