EHERETT'S SENSATION.
Snohomish County Grand jury Returns
Thirty One Indictments Against
OHcja.s.

EVERETT, WASH, April 4.-Everett
and Snohomish County have sensation
in the form of thirty-one indictments re-
turned yesterday by the Grand Jury,
many of which have not yet been made
pubic. After months of hard work the
jury submitted a voluminous report,
practically substantiating the charges of
many irregularities in the letting of con-
tracts for county work aud in employing
special inspectors ana superintendents of
bridges when tie work should have been
performed by the County Surveyor. Ex-
pert Fairweather, who was employed by
the Grand Jury, unearthed other irregu-
larities, which proved not indlctable be-
cause the law prescribes no penalty for
the transactions in which the County
Com mmissloners are alleged to have in
dulged. The jury censured the officials
for the reckless expenditure of money in
hiring special attorneys to conduct cases.
One Indictment was against ex-Surveyor
Sheehan for an alleged irregularity in re-
porting on the Deer Creek road. on which
the Com missioners allowed a bill for

would produce in the way OF minerals.
They started TO drive a tunnel into the

feet and the workmen are in ledge OF

Charles D. Lane, the millionaire gold

the ore could be worked for $5 ton by
means of water-power brought from Lytle

POMON A, CAL. April 4.-Colonel Daniel
E. Payne arrived from Yuma this after
noon. He says that some finds of wonder
fully rich grade ore has been made in the
vicinity of Yuma in the past two weeks.
Yuma is wild with the gold mining fever.
He has been interested in mines for years,
but he says be never before knew of such
rich ore as that he saw in the Picacho dis
trict, twenty-f five miles north of Ynma, on
the California side of the Colorado River
E1-United States Senator Dorsey and
Jesse Grant of San Diego have been in
terested there for few years past. Rich ore
has been found there in the last few
weeks, and vein opened on Thursday in
the Golden Dream mines is said to yield
ore worth 81 pound.
81 never saw such ore in ali nv expert
ence among mines," says Colonel Payne.
II assayed some OF it myself and it ran to
SfS4O a ton. Several other assays from
bits of ore carelessly picked up assay ed
over $500 to the ton. l saw yesterday one
chunk from the MONDAY mine in Yuma
that every one said was worth fully $130,
and 1t weighed exactly 103 pounds. The
whole town OF Yuma Is crazy, and never
saw such wild delirium even in Virginia

Right Oh top of the veins of this won-

at Gleason twenty-seven miles east from
Yuma, In Arizona. and near Tonca sta
tion. There is little or no DEVELOPMENT
there, and only outcroppings of rock have
been mined, but so rich is the ore from
these outcroppines that such men as D. f.

YUMA, ARIz., April 4.-Despite the
coming of warm weather mining excite
menJ in this section is increasing daily.
Capitalists representing millions of dol
lars are coming and going continually.
The King of Arizona, a mine the discov-
cry of which a month ago has made the
town of Gleason, has been inspected by all
prominent mining magnates OF the United
States, and is pronounced the greatest
discovery ever made in North America.
A small interest in it has been sold by the
original discoverers and owners, Gleason
and Eichelberger, to Mayor r. J. Duncan
of Yuma and Epes Randolph of Tucson,
Ariz. The price paid was very large, and
the transaction also involved the erection
by the purchasers of costly machinery for
the reduction of ores. Two mills have
been already ordered and will arrive here
next week, and more will he bought when
the mine is opened.
Development being done on the mine
discloses richness never excelled in the
mining history of the world. AS the ore
body widens the ore grows richer. and
mining men with great wealth and years
of experience grow excited when they
see it.
But not all the gold in this section is at
Gleason, for strikes are being made daily
in all directions. To-day word comes
from Picacho, twenty-five miles north of
Yuma. that the strikes a: Gleason had
been eclipsed in the Golden Dream and
MONDAY mines. At depth of eighty
feet ore bodies were encountered almost
simultaneously i'll both claims, in which
gold showed plainly at distance of sew
eral steps. The value of the rock is esti-
mated at from $1,000 to $4,000 ton, and the
vein is about TWO feet wide. The two
mines lie side by side and the strikes
made in each are probably in the same
vein.
The people of Picacho are wildly en-
thusiastic and piedlct that Picacho will
soon be the greatest mining camp in the
world.
