THE PEACE COMMISSIONERS.
Judge Day Sends an Important Cable
gram to Secretary Hay-The Span
ish Want Delay.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5-There is rea-
son to believe that Spain's peace COM
missioners have been not only star
tied, but nonplused by the cOmmu-
nication made to them by Judge
Day, representing the American
peace commissioners. A lengthy
and important cablegram was re-
ceived at the state department from
Judge Day Tuesday afternoon. I'm
mediately after reading it Secretary
Hay took the cablegram to the white
house, where there was Il confere nee.
After the conference a cablegram was
sent to Judge Day in Paris. 1t is said
that the answer was that the United
States would pay no money for any
part of the Philippines, and that
pending the conclusion Of peace ne
gotiations, Spain would not be per-
mitted to dispose of any part OF tn e
islands. The Spanish commissioners
are said to have been so discounted
by this announcement that they asked
for a rev days delay in which they
might communicate with Premier Sa-
gasta and receive further instruc'

to the Savannah Morning News, states
that two children were drowned at
Fernandina, Fla, in Sundays flood,
the worst in the city's history. Water
flooded a big portion of the city and
sent many vessels high and dry on the
beach. Telegraph systems are pros
trated and railroads have suspended
operations. A family of mother, father
and three children were in their house
when the tide carried it away. One
of the boys undertook to save his baby
brother but was unable to reach shore,
being forced to drop the child. The
father was rescued from tree and the
mother drifted ashore. The crew at
the quarantine station were rescued
from a lite raft, the station being en-
tirely destroyed. The loss to property
will be heavy.

Old Mines and Rew Workings.

Throughout Mohave county are old and
 abandoned mining claims which were
 worked in the days gone by and which
 produced vast amount of gold and sil-
 yer. Among them we may mention the
 Cerbat, '63, Flores. CupeI, c. o. D., Me.
 Cracken group, Lone Star, Keystone and
 Prosperity, all of which have been big
 producers and are yet in the grassroots.
 Until about year ago the Gro Plata vas
 mum bered among the has beens, but to.
 day 1t is one of the biggest gold produc.
 CTS in Arizona. The mine was practic.
 ally abandoned years ago after having
 produced over l00,0)Os m gold. A few
 years ago J. w. Gerritt, inc present owner, purchased the property and put
 in big hoisting plant and pumps. Alter operating the property for some time he
 leased it to chloriders, who are now
 working twenty five men. A shaft has
 been sunk to depth of 136 feet and through this shaft Messrs Ciack Bros.
 and Poland are working out big block of ground. Drifts have been run north a distance oi 90 feet and south 80 feet, on this level, all in ore The average value of the ere is oyer five ounces gold and
 thirty ounces silver to the ton, although in the north drift ore running over two hundred ounces silver and twenty four ounces gold has been found. In the floor of the drifts the ore body is bigger and better than in the stopes above. During the month of December the boys took out l0,000S net from their lease and have 50,0O0s in sight. Owen McNeely is ship. ping from 3,000s to 5,000s monthly from his individual lease and nearly as much more from the lease in which is interest. ed with him George Austin. The Me- Nicely lease is on a separate ledge from that of Clack Bros. & Poland and the ore nets nearly eight ounces in gold to the ten. Lefsr and Hampton have taken over lO,000s from their lease and are liable 10 take many thousands more. The lessees are only taking ont the high grade shipping ore, the lower grade be- ing left undisturbed in the stopes. Three parallel veins run through the Gro Plata ground within space of I25 feet and as each ledge carries pay ore and all can be worked handily through one shaft the mine ought to be developed cheaply and 10 advantage. What is being done with he Orc Pis can be done with dozens or others in Wsllspsi district and through put the county Yon don't have to 20 to to get paying mines--you can ind them in Mohave county.

4 Holdup Shot.

l Aso' auh'nbay 1ufuiuR dt W Utte f1lIlS,
 John Brown and man by the name of
 Sales were eating breakfast when Will.
 ian Nelson entered the restaurant and
 asked Brown If he could not have break
 fast too. Brown applied in the afIirms.
 tive and Nelson sat down at the ts ole.
 During the meal Neilson appeared to be
 in quarrelsome mood and talked about
 threshing somebody. Alter eating Brown
 walked into saloon and Nelson follow ed
 him in and persisted in searching him
 for gun. He then assaulted Brown
 knocking him down. Brown, who was
 under the influence of liquor, arose and
 started for his room in one of the lodging
 houses. Hearing the occupant of the
 room next to his astir he went to the
 door for the purpose of speaking to him
 and as he stepped into the hall he was
 suddenly seized by Nelson, who had fol.
 lowed him home. The man again per
 sisted in searching him for A gun and
 while doing 80 took from Browns pocket
 roll of checks. Brown asked the man
 to return the checks but he refused and
 walked away. He folio wed Nelson to saloon, but the fellow instead of restor. ing the money again assaulted him. Brown tried to get an officer 10 arrest the holdup but none could be had and he concluded 10 do business on his own &C., count. Alter hunting all over town he found gun late in the afternoon and then went on search for Nelson He found him in Murta & Braffctts saloon deeply interested in crap game. There were too many spectators for Brown to make a gun play 60 he awaited his op portGnity. Shortly the crap dealer got broke and Nelson took his place as ban ker. He pulled out roll of cheeks and placed them on the table. Brown pushed his way around the table until he stood at Neilson's elbow, then pulling his gun demanded that Nelson give up his money. Nelson grabbed for the gun and Brown fired or course all was confusion. A man grabbed Browns arm and there- after his aim was not of the best, but as Nelson kept coming at him he kept up rapid fire until the last cartridge was gone Nelson then closed with Brown and strurk him blow that felIed him to the floor. As he was about to jump on him he threw up one foot catch ing Nelson in the stomach and causing him to vince. The crowd then surged in and separated the men. IL was then ] that one of the bullets had ! struck Nelson above the left nipple rang. | Ing downward over the ribs and passing into The abdomen. Dr. Knight was ! called and pronounced the wound fatal. l As we go to press Nelson is still alive but his death is hourly expected. He is s recent arrival from Rsndsburg and 1 s accourted bully. The opinion gen. srally expressed is that he got what he deserved.
 Sheriff Potts and deputy J. N. C1hsn. ,ur went to the Hills Thursday night and he sheriff came in last night having Iohn Brown under arrest. There is no probability of any action being taken against Brown. ss he did what any other nan gould have done under the eircum. tsnees, only he vas little slow in do. ng it.
