FOUGHT FIVE ROUNDS
Two Jealous Lovers Try to Settle a
Vital Question

The rear of Blondes saloon at Holly
bout yesterday morning between two
jealous young men, who, unfortunately,
are in love with the same girl. The go
was an impromptu affair in point of ar
rangements, and resulted in a draw,
which will probably be tried out later,
when the participants have sufficiently
recovered to make another meeting
practicable.
The contestants in this chivalrous en-
counter were j. o. Chapella, a young
man about % years old, whose folks live
ON a ranch, and W. H. Sackett. 10 years
old, whose father keeps a store at Hol-
lywood. Both are enamoured of a very
pretty country girl, who lives in the
neighborhood. For q time each of the
young men basked in the sunshine of
the maiden's smiles, and imagined that
he was the only fellow, but when it be-
came known that the two were rivals for
the fair ones affections, they very gal
lantly decided to settle the matter be-
tween themselves.
Yesterday morning they met at Blon-
dos saloon and announced that they
were ready to have it out. A ring was
laid out in the rear Of the place, and the
two jealous lovers threw off their coats
and went at each other in a business
like manner. There were no restrictions
to the fighting drawn according to
Queensberry rules and the exchange of
blows was lively. At the end of the
fifth round both the contestants, tired
and bruised, were ready to call honors
even and decide the match off for the
present, although it was agreed to meet
at later date and fight to a finish.
Meanwhile the young woman who has
caused all the trouble is holding her
breath in her interest to see which one
Of her admirers will come out vic
torious.

Journal Miner: Ralph Dillon is said Co be en route from England, having accomplished his task of en- listing foreign capital to operate the Winningham properties at Jerome. The starting of the work and the good showing they are said to make, will result in a dozen ether properties starting up, aud which adjoins them. Jerome will be one of the greatest mining camps in the west under the favorable operation of these mines, which lay right at it's door.
 Mohaye Miner: John Campbell has located on the river near the Senator mill several big bodies of ore that average s3 or S4 to the ton in free gold. The caflons cut the ledge to a depth of l50 feet in places and the same grade of ore can be found every where on them. The proximity Of these great veins to the Colorado river aud the fact that some day the rapids of this great stream will be harnessed and made to furnish power for mining and milling will give d great value to them.

MINING SE w-.

Mobaye Miner: Assessment work is being done on more claims this wear than for many years past, owing to the sale of many mining claims du- ring the past year.
 Mohave Miner: The lead mines in the old Cottonwood district ought to pay well under the present conditions of mining. Years ago they were con sidered good property.
 Mohave Miner: The amount of goods now being shipped to the min ing camps up the ange Is remarkable. Big teams go out daily loaded to the guards with all classes of mining sup plies and provisions. In KiDgman the merchants are all rushed filling big orders.
 Globe Belt: J. Warren Young has been notified of an important strike on his claim, the Wedge, adjoining the Kasser mines in Lost Gulch. The ore was discovered by Pete Simon while doing assessment work; the pay streak is eighteen inches wide and runs about Sl50 in gold to the ton.
 Mohaye Miner: George R. Suther- land, we'll known mining man, has bonded the Nighthawk mine, and has already begun operations on it. The Nighthawk has produced thousands of dollars worth of rich ore and the workings are yet practically in the grass roots Resides the rich stratas which have been worked out of the mine has big bodies of low grade gold ore that will pay well.
 Yuma Sentinel: Capt. Polhamus this week received a very llatteriDg assay on samples of ore taken from the Refugio mine in the MesQ lite dis trict. Mr. Polhamus had some men doing assessment work on the prop erty and sent some of the rock, with out any particular selection, to an as- sayer at San Diego. The returns show values in free gold to the smout of sS76l9 per ton.
 Graham Guardian: Over in the Lone Star district, not far from the San Juan mine, good lodges of ore were uncovered last week in two mines owned and being worked by the Graham County Mining and Smelting Co Several men are at work and the ore just uncovered is as rich as any yet produced in that dis trict. This plainly indicates that the ore is there and in large quantities.
 Journal Miner: The Empire mine, 0n Upper Groom creek. has been closed down for the present. The plant on the same is roller mill and proves an unsatisfactory process in handling the ore. It is the intention of the owners to erect a new and com plete mill, when the mine will again be started up with larger force. The new machinery has been ordered and will be in operation not later than February next.
