Judge Swasey Wants More Fees.

An Alameda dispatch of June 16 to the Examiner says: c. A. Swasey, the aged justice of the peace, who sits in his court room waiting for business that never comes, is more convinced than ever that conspiracy exists to pre- vent him getting fees to which he says he IS rightly entitled. He has pre- sented another long complaint to the municipal board. He lays the blame for the alleged discrimination against him at the door of the police depart ment, and the particular object of his wrath is City Marshal Rogers. When the aged justice complained to the city trustees last Monday an order was made directing the police to equally divide their cases between the two justices. Sgasey now declares that this instruction has been ignored and that the police circumvent the spirit of the trustees order by turning over the persons they arrest to the constebles, who, being independent of the municipal board, can take the prisoners before either of the justices, and they favor Morris. The complaint is in the hands of the police committee. Justice Nor ris, in whose favor the police are said to discriminate, treats the complaint of his colleague with complacency.
 Judge Swasey was for many years a resident of Globe and is kindly remem- bered by old timers.

Report of the Grand Jury.

GLOBE, Arizona, June 20, 1896. To the Hon. Owen T. Rouse, Judge of
 the Second Judicial District, in and
 for the County of Gila, Territory of
 Arizona
 We, the grand jury empaneled for the June term of the district court, A. D. 1896, respectfully submit herewith our final report:
 We have inquired into all matters brought to our attention. We have found twenty (20) true bills as follows: Murder fogr (4); assault to commit murder, four (4); grand larceny, four (4); assault with deadly weapon, seven (D; aggravated assault, one Q). We have dismissed seven @ cases, as fol lows: Grand larceny, seven CD.
 Our attention has been called to the fact that an outrage has been committed to one of our principal mining snperin- tendents, which we do not endorse, but condemn such action to treat him with violence and abuse. Arbitration, in our judgment, is the proper way to proceed, and we hope, as representa- tive body of this county, that such will will not occur again.
 We further desire to call the atten- ton of cur board of supervisors to investigate the funds and its disburse. ments, of the various road districts. and more particularly Globe road dis trict.
 The accounts md books of the various county officers having been ex- amined by the grand jury at the October term, 1895, We have omitted the same.
 There being no further business, we ask to be discharged Respectfully snbn.;tted. LOUIS SULTAN,
 Foreman of Grand Jury.

THE FOURTH.
Globe Will Ceiebrate--An Attractive
 Programme Arranged.

Although the movement for the celebration of the Fourth of July was begun late, interest in the event has been aroused, and arrangements are now so far advanced as to insure an entertainment worthy of the occasion, and creditable to Globes patriotism.
 The programme will include parade led by Columbia and her retinue, horse racing and match game of baseball on tine grounds east of town; athletic games, bicycle races, pie eating con tests and other sports for the children, at the park; an oration by Judge E. J. Edwards, the reading of the Declara- tion of Independence, patriotic songs, and martial music by the Silver King band. The park will be open all the day to picnicers.
 In the evening there will be fine display of fireworks. on the hill over- looking the park. and the celebration to conclude with grand ball.
 Visitors from distance are cordially invited to celebrate with us. Citizens are subscribing literally to the fund to defray expenses, and there is very general de,ire manifested to promote the success of the entertainment and

Silver King Mine.

From q gentleman who returned from visit to the Silver King mine in Pinal county, it is learned that work is going on steadily at that property under the supervision of Mir. Phoebe. Three shifts are being worked on the new working shaft, which is now down l57 feet and which is expected to tap the ore vein at the 250-foot level. The new hoist is up and in operation. The old workings are full of water up to the 200.foot level, which solves the water question, and makes the continuous operation of the mill an assured fact as soon as the work of taking out ore is commenced.
 Mir. Phoebe informed the visitor that even at the present price of silver the mine could be made to yield more money than ever before in its history and that before long the Silver King would be again 2 producer of silver in large quantities -PhoenIx Herald.

Prosperous Payson.

J. I. Coleman, who used to operate in the Cherry creek country, Yavapai county, last year, with his 10-stamp mill, is now situated at Payson, Gila county, and has taken out Sl7,o00, which was put in circulation in that section, says the Prescott Courier. Mir Coleman contemplates moving his mill two miles from his present millsite where he can obtain better facilities in the matter of wood and water, and will also put in concentrator, as the ores of that locality carry good quantity of sulphurets.
 Payson is expecting a boom this coming summer that will far eclipse her good times of old, and if half is true that one hears of tho copper de- posits of that section, Jerome may not be Tn it.

4 Mining Deal.

W. B. Gerard left Saturday on his return to New York. He was accom- panied to tho railroad by bis son. D. NJ Gerard, John Kasser and Theodore Crandall, who returned to Globe last night. D. NJ. Gerard will remain here for several months.
 Mir. Gerard, senior, was greatly pleased with Globe, and there is a probability that he will become largely identified with the camp. He has already secured an option on five gold claims in Lost gulcb, on which work is to begin immediately. under the super vision of John Knsser. A force of ten men is first to be employed in road making and developing water at the mine, and afterwards the systematic development of the claims will be undertaken. These claims are favor ably situated in the gold belt, and are said to be promising prospects.

The late grand jury proved terror to evil doers, having found twenty true hills from among the twenty seven cases examined into. There appears to have been very general determination to clear the moral atmosphere of the community, and the trial iuries, follow ing the example of the grand inquisi- tors, returned verdicts of guilty in eight criminal cases tried. It is to be hoped that the vigorous enforcement of the law will have n salutary effect by lessen- ing crime and ridding Globe of the vicious class

Decline in Conner Stocks.

The Boston correspondent of the Mining and Engineering Journal, under date of June II, says: ''Old Dominion Copper broke bedly on the statement that the management had ordered a shutdown. in consequence of the miners strike, and large blocks of the stock were thrown on the market, causing decline from S20i to Sl6s, with recovery today to S17E."
 The transactions in Old Dominion for the week ending June II aggre- gated 4455 shares, most of the sales occurring after the receipt of news of the shutdown. All other stocks on the Boston market were adversely affected, and some ofthem declined quite heavily.

THE MINERS UNION.
A Denial of Idle Rumors That Have
 Been Circulated.

EDITORS SILVER BELT: I have been requested by the members of the Globe Miners union to contradict, through your columns, rumors current on the streets of Globe, the latest of which is that the meeting held last night June 20) at the school house was for the pnr- pose of putting to vote whether we should allow the Globe mine to con- tinue to work, or pull up the pumps and flood the mine. This will answer as fair sample of the false reports which have been circulated since the labor trouble started. Now, as the Globe mine has been virtually shut down since June 10, it would seem unneces- essary to vote on that question.
 As to the destruction of other prop erty, I will state that nothing has ever been mentioned at any meeting of the Miners union that would lead anyone to think that we intended injury to property or the violation of law in any way. On the other hand, the president pro tenn of this union, at the first meeting held in the school house, June II, instructed members that each should consider himself committee of one to see that there was no destruction nor attempt at destroying property of any kind.
 will state further that the Miners union has no grievance against the Old Dominion Copper Mining & Smelt. ing company. Our grievance is against the man who has managed the property in Globe, and who we consider acted arbitrarily. Our object in forming this union is simply to maintain our rights and to derive such benefits as fraternal organization offers. Our aim is to carry on this union in such manner as to deserve the sympathy of this com. munity. Respectfully,
 JOIN ALLEN, . C .
