By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 PRESCOTT, Ariz., April 12.-The news of fabulously rich gold mine Is re- ported on the Santa Maria in western Arizona, causing stampede of miners everywhere. The locators are c. s. Black, J. Bonner and B. Breckman. Twenty thousand dollars was offered last night for a one-third interest and was fatly refused by Black. The locators arrived in Prescott last night and are well known and perfectly reliable men.
 The owners are very reticent. 4,OOO feet of the ledge is prospected and To- cated. The locality is accessible and the parties are preparing to go out. It is supposed to be the "Nigger Ben," the mine that men have spent thous- ands of dollars to find and years of la bor. The new discovery was purely accidental. Years ago thou sands of dollars worth of placer dust was found near the location. Water is not to be had.

Some Fishback paper has charg.
ed that Senator Berry was con.
trolled by Senator Hill in the re.
lection of Peckham by the Senate.
This ig a weak effort to make it
appear that Berry is controlled by
the great New Yorker. The fact
is that when Hornblower was re-.
jected Berry voted for his con.
firmation, while Hill led those who
voted to reject him. Both Berry
and Hill voted to reject Peckham,
but Hill doubtless did so for spite,
while Berry voted against him be.
cause he was not a Democrat.
Such practices by the henchmen
of Fishback only add to Berry's
strength and popularity.-Darda.
