A LUCKY MINER.
"BlaCk Jack" Finds Another
Big Fortune.
This Time it is a Natural Gimme.
of Gold Quartz in the santa
Maria Mountains.

H. A. Owen, commonly known as
"Black Jack" character OF world wide
reputation and known to every old
timer In Arizona, as a partner with
Jackson McCrackin in the famous Nc
Crackln mlne, that was sold some years
ago tor quarter of million dollars,
ID aga1u IL luck.
After all expenses OF the sale were
paid Black Jack had $4,000 lett which
ne scattered in two years, during which
time he made tour OF tue world, after
which he stopped for some time IN New
York city where he has a wealthy sis
ter. He is a firm believer that his
tory repeats itself, and when his money
failed he again returned to Arizona.
For the past few years he has been
seeking apparently in vain to regain his
lost fortune by finding another BONANZA
until recently in the Santa Maria noun
tains on a creek of the same name. a
tributary of Bill Williams Fork, of the
Colorado, he discovered one of natures
phenomena, natural chimney OF rich
gold. The most noted mine of this
character is the famous Bassick mine
at Rosetta, Colorado, that has Welded
its finder over $3,0O0,0J0 ana is still
a good producer. Bassick, like Owen
was poor and had been refused credit
for sack Of flour for his wife and five
little ones and was returning to his
humble cabin when his hunting dog
ran bunnie into a hole in the ground
and being short of rations ne undertook
to dig it out The dog fell into the hole
and in an effort to extricate him from
the predicament, glittering gold was
struck In sdcn quantities that by next
morning he had $25 900 to carry to town.
The rest of the story is well known. He
gave -four away for one year and built a
mansion for widow who rad previously
loaned him lew pounds for cad.
The one found by Owens is not so rich
but they have followed back on d ledge
for 400 feet where the ore runs more
than 500 to the ton while for long
distance from this golden aperture the
lead, thirteen feet in width with ore
worth 500 ton can be traced. -
The report of this rich find is verified
by many who have visited the place,
and several reputable mining men now
in this city have been to the place years
ago, prominent among whom is George
Hamlln, owner OF the Relief mine, who
tried horning this same rock some years
ago with the same result Black Jack.
met with at first, only getting few
colors, but the lucky Owen was not sat-
isfed with this and made an assay
which revealed the hidden richness of
their claim.
the character of the rich deposit,
from geological standpoint, is that of
matter from great depth, and the rare
richness and great extent of the mas
slve body of golden rock shows it has
been forcet up by volcanic action from
depth below that possible to be
reached by man on account OF the in
ternal heat. 1t also verifies the opinion
of good miners that the bottom end of
mine is always the richer and that it is
an impossibility to secure any great
portion OF the hidden wealth of the
mineral deposits.

REMANDED.
Editor Dunbar Must Complete
His Term.
City Editor King Yesterday Sen
fenced to a Fine of 500 and
Thirty Days in Jail.

The Dunbar. Barnes habeas corpus
case was concluded yesterday. Judge
Barnes was discharged but Mr.. Dunbar
was remanded to the custody OF the
sheriff of Pima county.
The argument of Hon. Ben Goodrich,
which had been begun Immediately after
noon on the day before, was resumed.
Nothing that able lawyer could bring to
bear in favor of his clients was omitted
but he had evidently found nothing in
the books to controvert the authorities
to which he had been cited by the chief
Justice the night before.
The opinion OF the court in passing
was comprehensive as to the points in
volved.
Concerning the alleged contumacious
matter in the affidavit for change of
venue the court said: ''From the effect
of the language of the affidavit upon
the mind of the ordinary reader, 1t was
inevitable that corruption was Implied
and the effect upon the mind of the
ordinary reader is the legal test"
Continuing in the course of this
opinion the court said "The great
question in this case is whether or not
IHe language Is per &c oOu IohlPo JUS
If so, is it or is it not direct prima
facie contempt?" In passing upon this
the court remarked, "The language
which pollutes the record of court is
contemptuous."
The case OF Judge Barnes had been
segregated by Attorney General Heney
at the beginning of the proceedings,
the record OF Judge Slams court hav-
ing failed to show that he had received
any citation to answer to charge OF
contempt as in the case of Mr.. Dun bar
to whom an hour had been given in
which 20 purge himself.
The proceedings at the Tucson end of
the line yesterday were no less interest
ing. City Editor King of the Gazette
was adjudged guilty of contempt in
having written the unfavorable COM
ments upon Judge Sloan's conduct, and
was sentenced to a fine OF 500 and
thirty days in jail.
Mr.. Dunbar had a severe attack OF
erysipelas night before last and was un-
able to accompany Sheriff Scott back to
Tucson last night.

porphyry on the foot wall but as they
went down the lead narrowed but grew
richer. At one time at depth of
forty feet, it almost pinched out, there
being but two inches left but soon it be-
gan widening and is now thirteen inches
and is growing heavier all the time.
Mr.. Kinrade has interested himself
in other claims in the vicinity and sew

Gently.
These finds which are constantly be-
ing reported verify the statement that
central Arizona is gold belt and rich
one, and the ready investments of capt.
tai from the outside to operate the
claims show that the fame of this sec
ton has reached the money centers and
and those wishing to engage in mining
are embracing the opportunity to DIN on
the ground floor. Only yesterday some
experts arrived to examine the claims
owned by MacKay and Flood, with a
view of purchasing. These men are

NOT QUITE A ROBBERY.
The Bartender Considered it Fair
Exchange.

The Bartender Considered it Fair
Exchange.
At the saloon of James M ,Namara
good pair of shoes but slightly worn,
ownership of which was acquired in the
the following peculiar manner:
Last Saturday afternoon an individual
who is supposed from description and
method of operation to be the same who
so smoothly buncoed Mr.. Handbook of
Ham brook & Schorr, out of a dollar
earlier the same day, interviewed Nc
Nanara's bartender with reference to
buying a horse.
The efficient dispenser of black or
white beer as you will, has a horse
which he has been for some time past
quite willing to part with. There are
peculiarities about the animal which
makes it quite desirable that he should
not refuse to consider a liberal cash
offer. So when the plain rancher look
ing chap had evinced sufficient inter-
est in the description to desire to see
the noble beast, and had then expressed
himself perfectly satisfied with the
points of the animal as we'll as the price,
tine owner was naturally elated. An
order was made out to the wife of the
prospective purchaser who was said to
reside at certain street and nun Der,
at the west end of the city. She was
commanded in writing to 60 to a certain
bureau drawer, take out certain sum
of money being the amount necessary
to secure the horse and a trife over
and deliver it to the bearer, venerable,
gray bearded messenger, whose request
alone coupled with an honest express
sion should have been sufficient for the
purpose.
In the meantime after partaking Of
the hospitality of the house to moder
ate extent, the stranger excused him
self for few minutes saying he would
go down street to make small pur-
chase for which he borrowed 81 go from
the only too willing bartender.
The latter's suspicious were not
aroused upon the return of the mes
senger who reported he could not find
the house. But when the hours went
by and the ranchman himself failed to
materialize, he concluded to go after
him. He did SO and fortunately dis
covered him in the act of parting with
the last dime of the 81 go. He was
easily persuaded to return and in the
absence of other assets to surrender his
shoes which suggested themselves to the
owner of the horse as the nearest things
possible to a recompense for the loss to
his private purse and for his feelings of
disappointment. An old pair of we'll
worn brogans were given to him to-
gether with some advice uttered in
forcible if not polite language and he
was suffered to depart.

CANAL CONSTRUCTION.
The Work Now Being Done VIII Be
Permanent.


Through lack of ready cash and a
haste to cover as much land as possible,
many of the big canals of the valley in
their first construction, begun virtually
at the wrong end of the work and ex-
tended the bitches long distance from
the rivers, with laterals at convenient
intervals along the artificial streams, to
supply the farms that sprang up daily
along their borders in some places many
miles distant from the canals proper.
This was done in many instances to
cover territory and withhold patronage
from any other enterprise of a similar
character that might seek to compete
for the same area, but the frequent
summer floods washed the temporary
dams away and left the settlers below
without water frequently during the
critical periods which endangered the
crops and in some instances ruined
them. As result of these shortcom-
ings number of damage suits are now
pending and test will be made to see
whether the canal company is respon-
sible for something it could not prevent
or the farmer for accepting water on
conditions that could not be complied
with.
To avert repetition of these annoy
ances the Consolidated Canal company
has begun the work Of placing perma-
nent head to their canal and will, dur
ing the winter build a granite dam of
dimensions that will make it as firm as
the Rock of Ages across the river. This
will insure constant supply of water
to the farmers along the line of the
canal and enable them to supply water
if there is any in the river.
Large dredge boats are building at
the river, and smaller ones for general
use on the canal. For these 200, 900 feet
of lumber was recently unloaded at
Tempe and taken to the head of the
canal. Before another season opens
this canal will be in practical working
operation.
The Highland people, most of whom
reside in Switzerland, have decided to
do the repairs and Improvements on
their ditch according to contract, which
will require the expenditure of 500, 900
before spring time, when this canal too
will be complete.
The Grand. which is on this side of
the river, and heads opposite Tempe,
will soon have a permanent head, a
large part OF the work having been COM
pleted already and the remainder will
be done within the next three months.
Yearly the arabic acreage of the val
ley is increased and several new irrigat-
ing propositions are well under way as
to preliminary work, with a fair pros
pect of active building operations in
the near future.

Arizona SpudS.

The Prescott Courier OF recent date
says: "Blanco White, who is farming
the mountain ranch near Prescott,
known as the Tower ranch, put the en-
tire tract in Irish potatoes this season,
and he has crop wonderful to contem-
plate. MIR. White has force of men
digging and fifty tons of potatoes of
most excellent quality are ready for
sacking. A large tract still remains to
be dug. A gentleman who has just re-
turned from the spud camp says he saw
45 pounds of potatoes taken from two
hills and that a single potato of five
pounds weight is common occurrence.

Things Worth Remembering.

When you feel kind of goneness
about the stomach it is sign that your
food does not sit well and that you are
about to have fit of indigestion.
When you begin to feel nervous and
are unable to sit still comfortably
when your clothes suddenly seem to
lose their fit and become too tight in
places the fit of indigestion is surely
upon you.
When this fit of indigestion is re.
peated from day to day it finally re.
solves itself into dyspepsia.
Remember that three to ten OIL
Brandreth's Pills will cure the worst
case of indigestion or dyspepsia, OF
both, and that regular course of them.
say two every night for week or ten
days, will act as preventive of either
complaint.

A BOX OF DYNAMITE.
Ten Pounds of the Explosive Found
by the Chain Gang.

Ten Pounds of the Explosive Found
by the Chain Gang.
A ten pound box of dynamite was
found in Neahr's addition to the city of
Phoenix by the chain gang while they
were engaged in clearing off vacant
lot.
The box was discovered by one of the
Indians that are in the city Jail con-
yicted of a misdemeanor and the fell
lows life, as well as that Of the other
prisoners, was saved only by an acct
dent, as the brush was thick and the
first intimation he had of the presence
of the box was when the axe penetrated
the soft wood and almost split the box
in two. Fortunately the explosive was
in smaller box inside the larger one
and the axe did not reach it.
How the box came to be there Is a
mystery that will probably remain un-
solved.
