The Yekol Mine.

Again the Vekol mine becomes a producer, and will add it's pro rata to the supply of appreciated white metal This noted property, one Of the richest silver mines in the world, made the late John D. Walker a mil lionaire, and since his demise his h. dian daughter, Juana, the richest heiress in Arizona. The history of litigation over the old miners mil lions is familiar to all ArizOnans. Since 1892 the mine has lain idle, it being the principal part Of the estate in litigation. Recently, however, ar engagements were made to establish plant and new process to be worked in conjunction with the sixty-stamp mill that has been repaired and fur nished with new machinery There are enough tailiDgs and old dumps to run on for some years. In the mine there are 5000 feet Of tunnels with rich ore in sight on every side. From s8 regularly to l,200 ounces of silver in occasional big pockets is the range of value. The new process combines the use of electricity with quicksilver and hot water, the heating being done by electricity. The per cent saved is above that obtained by fire assay showing the system is the nearest to perfect yet discovered. A strong company has taken hold and the mine that has yielded millions and fur nished employment for the people of a town of l ,5O0 inhabitants will add many more millions to the wealth of this. the richest mineral territory to the known world- Phoenix Enter prise.

and number of witnesses were exam ined yesterday, as experts, who cau that the name signed to the note not Paredes' signature. Among then were Cashier Herrera of the Interns tional bank of Nogales, Albert Stein field, II. E. Tenny, and others.
 The plaintiff claims that the reasou the signature is not perfect is becaus Paredes wrote it with gloved hand while sitting in a blackboard.
 Perhaps the most sensational feat ure was the attempt of the defense to impeach Forgett.
 On Wednesday Forgett swore that he had never been arrested at Tomb stone.
 Yesterday shoe man named Smith of this city, was put on the stand and identified Forgett as a man who ws in 500 indicted for stealing ore from the Tombstone Mining and Milling Co.,, and convicted of petit larcenI he, Smith, having been one of the jurors in the case. Col. Herring, who also had some connection with the case, and Nat Hawke, then deputsI United States marshal, also identified Forgett. Tucson Star.

The case of Forgett ys. Paredes took up all day yesterday in district court. By common consent the case of Dean vs. Paredes was joined with the Forgett suit, as they are about the same.
 As stated in yesterdays Star For gett is suing on an alleged promissory note given him by Paredes, for S2, ,27O, which he claims is payment for machinery, labor and provisions used in the Mexican mine in Sonora, from which property Forgett claims Pare des drove him some years ago.

Our Yolunteers.


 Last Saturday mention was made by THE OASIS of the three young men from Nogales who had gone to Tue son to join the Pima county contin- gent in the squadron of cavalry which had been called for from Arizona to enter the regiment being raised by Doctor Wood and Theodore Roosevelt. The young men mentioned are Harry Van Treese, Geo. B. Hitchcock and Marshall N. Bird. At Tucson they joined the rest of the county's cOntin- gent, consisting of sixteen men all told, led by Eugene w. Waterbury. Owing to some hitch in the transpor tatiOn the detachment did not get away from Tucson until Friday night. The people of Phoenix turned out al- most eu masse to give their boys a grand send of. The local militia, the Grand Army of the Republic, the Confederate veterans and numerous other organizations, with bands of music, paraded the streets as an escort to the boys, and the streets were thrOnged with spectators. who all with one accord proceeded to the depot, where greater crush was never seen. Fully five thousand people were there to bid the boys God speed When the Pima county boys arrived at the capital Saturday morning there were along also the contingent from Yuma county and also one from Bis bee. They were forwarded to Pres cott the same evening: and again the people turned out in honor of the volunteers.
 Wednesday afternoon MT. Melvin Van Treese received from Prescott a telegram stating that both his brother and Marshall Bird had passed the ne- cessary examination and been accept ed to leave Prescott for Washington the same evening. where the regiment will concentrate, and immediately after organization it will proceed to Atlanta to the camp of instruction. That was the understanding Wednes- day,
 As organized the Arizona contingent consists of two troops of cavalry. The officers of the southern troop are James H. McCllntock, captain; J. L. E. Alexander, first lieutenant; W. B. Wilcox, second Lieutenant: H. Ry.nning, first sergeant: Davisen, Hawley, Cronin and Campbell, ser geants; Moves, Utting, Pate and Hughes, corporas.
