p. IL. McDermott, superintendent
Of the Steeple Rock development COM
Iany, made an El Paso trip this week,
returning Wednesday. Mr.. McDer-
mott says that by February the COM
pany will have in operation a reducing
plant capable of handling forty tons
of ore per day. The plant will con-
sist of a stamp mill, two Huntington
mills, plates, vanners and pans. The
intention IS to make some large mill
runs on ores from different mines so
as to determine the best and most eco
nomical process of reducing the ore.
When that is ascertained the COM
pany will put in a plant capable OF
handling a thousand tons OF ore per
day. Narrow gauge roads will proba-
bly, be put in to carry the ore from the
mines to the mill. A chlorination
furnace will be used to reduce the con
centrates, aud nothing will be shipped
but bullion. 1t is estimated that with
the plant running at its full capacity
ore can be mined aud milled for less
than two dollars per ton. This will
enable the company to handle ore OF a
lower grade than is milled in either
territory, and the company owns en-
tire mountains Of low grade ore.

The trial Of Henry Daniels who
murdered Lafayette Fox election day,
was concluded last week. 1t will lie
remembered that Daniels and the rest
of the colored voting club quarrelled
over the division of their cash, that
Daniels went out, got a gun came
back and shot Fox through the heart,
killing him instantly, the ball also
passed through Andreas Williams arm
making a wound from which be subse-
quently died. The case was very
plainly set before the jury, the only
witness for the defense being the de-
PENDANT himself, who tried to explain
that some unknown person had either
hred the gun Daniels was holding or
another gun, he could not just explain
hew. The jury took no stock in the
defense. The judge instructed the
jury to bring in a verdict either for ac-
quittal or for murder in the flrst de-
gree, and the jury decided it was the
urst degree. Daniels was sentenced
to be hung on the fourth Of January.
L. 5. Helm, his attorney, has appealed
the case 10 the supreme court, which
does not meet till July. This case was
quite similar to the murder Of Sig
Weisl by Billy Davenport. Ia both
instances the murderer became en-.
ragged at a reasonable request, left the
room TO get a gun, came back and
shot his victim down in cold blood.
In the n case the defendant was a
politician with a pull and some money
was acquitted. In the other case
inc defendant was a poor negro with
pull and no money and the sem
tence was death. Queer thing, this
county justice.

The Arizona and New Mexico COM
pany is changing its road bed this
side of Clifton, in order to make il
more secure during the flood season.
In doing this work considerable blast
ing has been necessary, to do which
some experienced miners were set at
the work. A Mexican who has worked
a long time in the mines, had drilled
a hole about twenty feet deep, and
was putting in some dynamite. He
had n stick in and tamped down.
using an iron tamping rod some TWEEN
ty feet long and three-quarters of an
inch in diameter. He had his charge
properly placed and started to with
draw the rod. He had it nearly out
OF the hole when it slipped from his
hands and fell back in the hole. On
striking the dynamite the conclusion
was SO strong that it caused an explo-
sion, throwing the rod out of the hole.
When the rod went down the man
had evidently leaned over the hole
and when it came up it caught him
just below the shoulder. Eighteen
feet Of this rod went through the
mans body and then it stuck. The
other wOrkmen rushed to his assist
ance. The rod could not be pulled
back and il took the united efforts of
three strong men to pull it through.
The mans face was also terribly cut.
notwithstanding these terrible inju-
ries the man is still alive and the
doctors say will undoubtedly recover.
Judge Cortez Sharp of Gold Hill per-
formed his first marriage ceremony
last week Thursday. In fact it was
the first Official act he was called on
to perform since his appointment as
Justice. The contracting PARTIES were
Juan Almanso and Mirrer Arurinto.
An admiring constituency watched
the ceremony and we're disappointed
when they saw that the Judge failed
to salute the bride" The Judge ex-
planned that in the hurry he forgot
this important part of the ceremony.
George Snyder says ne does not blame
the judge in the least, that if he had
been performing the ceremony him
self, and had all the time in the world
he would have neglected that part Of
it. The most disappointed person
was a fair young damsel who is soon
to travel the anne way, and she an
nounced in no uncertain way that if
Judge Sharp could not do better than
that he could not onlciate at her we'd
ding. The judge solemnly assured
her that he would omit nothing on
that occasion, and to make assurance
doubly sur offered to salute the pros
pectiye bride in advance, to begin
right then and repeat the salute as
often as occasion demanded or oppor-
tunity offered.

rrcarthy,s Life of Pope Leo.

No biographer could desire more In
terest;ng subject than the life of the SOW
ereign pontiff, who for the last eighteen
years has held sway over the Roman
Catholic church in every quarter Of the
globe, says the New York Sun. Mr.. JUS
tin sMcCarthy's work, Pope Leo XIII, .
written from the standpoint of a devout
Catholic, is, nevertheless, eminently fair
and impartial and the different stages OF
the pope's career and his relations with
the European powers are treated Of in
the calm, judicial spirit necessary to the
writing of any history that is to be of
value. 1t is perhaps to be regretted that
the biographer has seen fit to pass hast
lily over many Of the more romantic in
cidents of Pope Leu's career. The story
of his early manhood, when, as Vincenzo
Pecci, he arose to emnience, both as
statesman and as scholar-when at Ben
evento, he stamped out brigandage; or
later, his career as Nuncio at Brussels
and Bishop of Perugsa, is one that to the
general reader, would be full of interest.
The story of the Kultur-Kamp and the
eventual triumph over Prince Bismarck
is related at length and with a thor
oughness that leaves nothing to be de-
sired. Each step of his subsequent ca
reer is carefully traced, and while free
from any thing like fulsome adulation,
this little volume cannot but inspire the
reader with reverence and respect, for q
man, who, apart from his exalted posi-
ticn and despite all differences OF creed,
is worthy of love and admiration as a
scholar and philanthropist.
