OF the reported discovery of a
great mining region, a special from
Phoenix, Ariz, says
The new find lies in Yuma CouD'
ty, Ariz., near the southwestern
corner of the territory, thirty miles
north Of Aztec Stati N, on the
Southern Pacific, and twenty ak
miles east OF the Castle Dome
landing on the Colorado River.
The conntry surrounding is of the
dryest description. Partly on ac-
count of the desert butts in which
the find was made having at die
lance much the appearance of mere
heaps OF volcanic debris, no miner
al has been suspected to be in the
locality.
About a month ago The heayies!
rains known for years occurred in
Yuma County, and the opportunity
for prospecting, was seized upon by
an old prospector named John Ed
wards, who WAS outfitted or grub
staked" by Henry Gleason, engi-
neer in the Yuma electric plant.
Two weeks ago Edwards came
upon the ledge. Wherever be
knocked with his prospecting ham.
mer he broke off pieces OF IRON
stained quartz thickly speckled
with gold particles. How rich the
rock is can be imagined when ii ls
told that the lot he brought into
Yuma, pounded up in mortar and
washed out in a gold pan, ran $l.50
to the pound. The ore is absolute
ly free nothing in it but quartz
and iron and gold.
This value, however, is not the
main matter over which to marvel.
The ledge is 70 feet wide and
across the full width the ore ap-
pears to be uniform 10 this incred-
ibls richness. Edwards located
1870 feet along the ledge and be-
lisves be has taken In everything
in sight. He states that he almost
went crazy on finding the ledge.
He could neither eat nor sleep.
All ha could do was to insanely
wander along the vein and knock
away and gloat over fragments OF
gold-speckled ore.
Edwards brought a sackful OF
the ore back to Yuma as soon as he
had done the necessary prelimi-
nary work. At fret his partner
was incredulous, even after being
shown the ore. but at last sent out
with Edwards a local mining ex
pert Of highest standing. The
pair returned few days ago. the
expert, Frank Guerra. confirming
the story and stating that the mine
is The greatest on earth, even at the
grass roots.

AN ATTACK ON HEARST.
California Congressman Berates
the Wealthy Journalist.
MR., ooOPBRs VIGOROUS REPLY.

In the Debate on the Pacific Railroad Fund
ing Bin MIR. johnson Takes Occasion 20
Make a Personal Attack on Both MT.
Hearst and Mayor sutro.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 0.-The second days
debate on the Pacific railroad funding bill
developed by far the most sensational in
cident Of this session of congress. Mr.
johnson, the only member Of the Cali
fornia delegation who favors the funding
bill, in the course Of his remarks took oc-
casion to make a remarkable personal at
tack on Editor Hearst, Of the San Fran
cisco Examiner.
He described Mr.. Hearst and Mayor Su-
tro as men who were terrorizing the Pa
cific coast members and made statements
concerning the former which led Mr..
Cooper, Of Wisconsin, to characterize IL
later as the 'most disgraceful attack in
the legislative annals of the United
States" The members, who had been
listening attentively to Mr.. Johnson's re-
marks, as he always is one Of the most en-
tertaining speakers in the house, were
thunderstruck at the lengths to which he
went Once at the last session Mr.. John
son denounced Mr. Hearst, but on that
] pNDtbnAuu uo Was tdllbu " OEhbL ny -AAA
Mcguire, of California. Yesterday he com
peted his philippe without interruption.
The speech created a profound sensa-
ton, which was increased by Mr., Cooper 8
denunciation of it as "a cowardly attempt
to blacken the reputation of a man of pos
tive genius" Mr. Cooper also took occa-
sion to score the gentleman from Cali
fornia roundly for his attitude toward the
bill
Mr. johnson made no attempt to reply
to Mr.. Cooper. This incident completely
overshadowed the interest in the debate
on the funding bill, and thereafter it pro
I ceeded quietly to the hour when the recess
was taken. The general debate closed
| yesterday. Today the bill was taken up
for amendment under The five minute
rule. Mr.. Harrison gave notice Of a sub
stitute he should offer TO provide for a
commission, TO consist of the secretary of
! the treasury, secretary Of the interior and
attorney general, to negotiate the settle-
ment of the debt
The senate was not in session, having
adjourned on Thursday until Monday.

which was spent in a vain effort to secure
