says that he has made many grievous
mistakes, but he never did think of
attaching himself to the Bodie Miner

BOONE IN CUSTODY.
He is Arrested by the Sheriff OF
YaVapai County, Arizona.

Several days ago Sheriff Ingalls, re-
ceived dispatch from Sheriff Ruff
ner of 9avapai county, Ariz, NJ, ask
ing for full description of James p.
Boone, who is charged with the kill
ing OF Antoine Bacoch in Tule Can
yon, this county, on the 10th of last
November, and for whom rewards
aggregating $3.50 are offered, as fol-
lows: BY the State $500, by this
county $3.50, and by John Chiatovich
$500. Sheriff Ingalls, sent the de-
scrlption and the next day he re-
ceived another dispatch to the effect
that Ruffner had Boone in custody
and would start at once for Haw-
thorne. He reached this place on
Mondays train. There is no doubt
he has the right man, as several ac-
quaintances recognized Boone on his
arrival, and Boone acknowledges his
identity.
A BULLETIN reporter visited Boone
yesterday at the County Jail. When
asked if he desired to make any
statement for publication he replied
in the negative. His attorney, P NJ.
Bowler, had advised him not to talk
about his ARRAY with Bacoch. He
did say, however, that he would have
given himself up at once but that he
was afraid of being killed by Bacoch's
countrymen and the Indians. He
says that he took the road down to
and across the Colorado river, and
when he got into Mohave county,
Arizona, he got a job driving a
quartz wagon, and while thus en-
gagged he was arrested by Sheriff
Ruffner. He neither admits nor de-
MES the killing OF Bacoch, but says
that he has no fear of the outcome
of fair trial.
Sheriff Ruffner told our reporter
that Boon was engaged in hauling
ore from copper mine about 20
miles from Peach Springs. He en-
countered Boone on the desert road.
Another ore team was a short dis
lance ahead of Boone. Ruffner pre-
tended that he was a butcher looking
for mutton, and hitched his team be-
hind the first wagon ana got up to
ride with the driver. After proceed
ing few miles he told the driver his
real mission, and said he wanted
Boone. The driver said Boone had
a Winchester rifle in the wagon and
would probably fight Ruffner told
the driver to stop and grease his
wagon. He did so, and Boone drove
up, dismounted and walked unsus-
pectingly up to Ruffner, who placed
a pistol to his breast and command
ed him to surrender Boone offered
no resistance, and denies that he had
a Winchester.
He will probably be arraigned be-
fore Judge Mack tomorrow.

sPARs OF WASHINGTON FIR.
In Spite of the Fact That They Are
Called Oregon Pine.

In Spite of the Fact That They Are
Called Oregon Pine.
Puget sound timber goes everywhere,
even into the masts of the fleet yachts
made by both America and England to
race for the Americas cup. But the
point of most interest to the people of
this region is that the great spars Of
noble Douglas fir shipped from this re-
gion, as soon as they pass beyond the
state line, have fastened upon them the
name of "Oregon pine" The spars
from which the masts of the Defender
and the Valkyrie have been made were
cut in Sol Simpsons logging camp at
Kamilchie, Wash, and afterward
shipped from Port Blakeley.
Washington annually sends out at
least 100 vessels, timber laden, in every
direction, all the way from Corea to
Australia and the Hawaiian islands,
and even to the Kimberly diamond
mines and the Johannesburg gold
mines, in Africa. 1t is stated that the
flag of the emperor of Japan flies from
Il stick of Puget sound timber, and it
is known positively that the flagstaff
on Windsor castle, from which waves
the union jack in the daily view of
Queen Victoria, is Douglas fir from
Puget sound-a Yankee contribution to
the furniture of the monarch OF the
British isles. 1t is also true that the
largest flagstaff in Maine, the Pine Tree
state, is at Lewiston, and it came from
Puget sound. Nor is it remarkable
piece of timber, as one comes to think
who lives in Washington. 1t is all the
Douglas fir, yet it is known abroad as
Oregon pine. - Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer.

Silver Star,

We gather the following items
from recent arrivals from Silver Star
District:
Ed. Kenny has located ledge be-
low the Oneida mine which is likely
to prove valuable. The ledge is said
to be 200 feet wide. The groupings
assay from 81 to IS per ton. Kenny
is driving cut to tap the ledge at a
depth of 20 feet.
Hatton & Kenny have located a
claim parallel to the above which
shows immense groupings carrying
coarse gold. This ledge is I to 10
feet wide at the surface, and horns
about $40. Hatton came to town last
week for supplies and will prospect
his ground thoroughly on his return.
Berger and partner have a lease
on portion of tho Snowfall. They
have about IA inches of $40 ore, and
30 tons on the dump.
The mill is now running on 40
ton lot of Miller & Thompson's ore.
1t is of good grade.
Money & McQuillan have 20 tons
of 500 ore on the dump.
Nelson & Allen have 20 tons of $25
ore ready for the mill.
Duncan q Bangs have 10 tons of
Mary ore on the dump, said to be
worth $50 per ton.
Harry Goodshaw has five tons of
$50 ore waiting for the mill.
Towers & Perry are running a 100
foot tunnel on the New Party.
Douglass & McQuillan have re-
sumed work ON the Direct. They
have strong ledge of $25 ore.
Jack Fallenstein has taken lease
on the Juniper, where Hanger & Col
lamore worked last year. The ledge
in the bottom of the shaft prospects
$25. He will sink the shaft so feet
deeper.
Lang & Mccarthy have taken a
lease on the Red Rock. They have
six inches of pay ore in sight.
Ed. Brown is still sinking on the
Hardscrabble. The shaft is now
down about 225 feet and the ledge
continues in pay ore. Two shifts are
working.
At the Oneida work is being vigor-
ly pushed on the l50-foot level under
the direction of Thorn & George.
The ledge in both the east and west
drifts shows strong vein of high
grade ore. The Oneida has been
steady bullion producer for the past
20 months.
Work on the Gem has been sue
pended pending the return of Mr..
Harrington. Bob Stewart has built
large dam on the Gem ground for
the purpose of catching the tailings
that overflow the mill pond, and at
some future time will doubtless erect
a cyanide plant of his own.
Dune Merigold has seven tons of
$50 ore ready for the mill.
Jack Inglis is working on the Over
shoe. He has small streak of ore
from which rich specimens are fire.
