A REMAKKABLE MINE.
Three Men Taking Out Thirty Tons Daily.
Arizona Citizen.

A ROlu Hlll llidb ID iSiA'hi h"'iN -N several ways for Arizona is one now being put in a camp a few miles above Clifton.
 Itis known as the Gold Bullion camp ! The property is rather low grade, free milling ore averaging sl0 ton, but the ore works very easily and the ledge is big one-ten feet wide Three miners can knock down thirty tons day
 The mine is mile from the mill. The mill is new method so far as Arizona is concerned, though 1t Is said to have been worked with much sue cess in the gold fields of South Afrlca and Australia. It is an English mlll, known as the Marshall mill, and has been improved by an American It has stamps, but they work in a rotary movement, and very rapidly Two such stamps have been set up at the Gold Bullion mill, and they are expect ed to work eighteen tons day. An expert of the Marshall mills expected daily to start the mill.
 Another feature not common in Ari- zona about this plant is that it will be run by water power. Water power When half of the millsof Arizona have hard fight to get water enough for their boilers.
 The San Francisco river runs Just be- hind the mill. It Is swift, strong re- liable stream. Captain Griswold, the manager expects to put in a turbine of no horse power. For the present a 35 horse power boiler and engine is used, till the practicability of the present mills thoroughly demonstrat- ed.
 Probably not another mill in Ari- zona will be run so cheap as this same Gold Bullion property. The ore will be worked, all the expenses paid, for somewhere between $2.l0 and s2.50 a ton. The outside figure Is s2.50. The mining will not cost over forty or fifty cents ton, the hauling the same, and the milling the balance.
 The mill has just been completed and will start up on the arrival of the expert, All going well, tramway will be put in from the mine to the mill, to handle the ore.
 In the same district, known as the Greenlee district, numerous other gold nropertIes are located The lodges run from a few inches toten feet inv width, and the ore is in several of the proper ties good engugh to horn spoon out. Notably so in the property being opened by E. Depee. It has ledge four feet wide, on which development work is being done. The gold from there horn spoons out in gratifying quantities. He Is now looking for a partner who will put up a mill on the property.
 The Greenlee district has had some black eyes from would-be mine and mill men who were not competent, Among them is a Missouri outfit, some farmers of that state who sold out t1eir farms to go into gold mining. They laid out 5000 on q S2,000 road, which took most of their money. Then they could not put up a proper mill with the balance, or did not, and the outfit went under.
 It Is sincerly hoped about Clifton that Captain Griswald's enterprise may prove a success. Should it do so if wllldo much to redeem the district.

Dir. Goa Says He Wishes TO Ask Grant d
Few Objections.

NEW YORK. Dec. l2.-When the Lexow
Committee was called to order to-day
Hr. Golf called the name of Charles \.
Grant, but there was no response. Mr..
Golf said he did not expect Mr.. Grant 20
be present, but he took this opportunity
70 le; him know that he would Ike -
have him here. Mr.. Grant was cx-Con-
missioner Mctlaves private secretary
while the latter was pollce-commssioner
and left the city soon after Mr.. McClave
retired. The committee has tried 10 serve
a subpoena on him. but could not find him.
Mr. Golf taid that Mr.. Grant WIS worth
$4,000 i'm read estate in this city, and he
Odly received Sl,700 a year He said ne
was prepared to prove tina. Mr.. Grant
made this money by accepting brides for
the appointments on the police force. Mt
Goff then said that Mr. Grants presence
was especially desirable at present, as ne
had a list of Commissioner McClave's APP
polntments. and ne wanted 10 question
Mr. Grant about sCTne OF them.
A representative OF the firm of Martin

Several cX-police captains and other
ex-members Of the force were examined
as 70 how Trey came on the retired list.
Mr. Gof said the object was 10 snow
that men were retired who could remain
L.uch longer on the force.
1T is common report" said Mr. Con,
that policemen pay from $500 TO $500 for
being appointed, so the more officers that
are retired the greater is the revenue"
MIR. Moss then asked that all the re-
| tired policemen In court stand up. Al
most every man I'm court stood up.
II ask the committee To note" said he,
| what a fine body Of men they are"
Mr.. Goff then called attention to the
