 MT. Thomas gathered some informa- tiOn about mines in his stay at River side. He says the amount of activity
 there in that line is surprising and nearly everything seems to be copper. He learned of the sale Of the property, 9 part owner cf which was Murray Innes, formerly the chief assayer of the Arizona Copper company. The deal was made last week and Mr Thomas thinks it was cash The amount announced is S150.000. This property was located less than year ago, but the development shows re- maTkabla body Of high grade ore \ 200-foOt shaft pierces an almost solid body of ore.

 Suspicion at once fell on Barnes and
 he was traced to the northern part of l Oregon, where he was arrested. Han
 mas watch, pistol and various other articles of an discriminating nature,
 were found on him and as perfect a chain of circumstantial evidence as liTaS ever woven around any criminal, was produced against him.
 The grand jury returned an fndict- ment in which it was charged that Hanna came to his death from pfs- tol shot wound inflicted by Barnes
 As the murderer had retained in his possession much of the evidence of his own guilt. his attorneys were put to sore straits to find some technical point ln his behalf First the question was raised that the murder had been com mitted on the military reservation, hence the territorial court had no jur- isGiction. This being successfully comba5ted a number os physicians weps called to the witness stand to g.ve expert testimony in regard to the wound which caused the mans death. Two Cf them expressed the opinion that the wound ves made by a bullet
 
 not been. This furnished the only grain cf comfort found in the trial by the defense and this testimony was elaborated at great length by defend ants attorneys. The strong point was raised that there was no hole where the bullet had come out of it, and if he had been shot the bullet must still be in the skull.
 In his closing address District Alter ney Ling caused e0nsternation tc, the defense and dismay to the expert med ical opinion by demonstTatin that the bullet entered the back of the head at the left hand side andcama out through the right eye, not only showing where the bones had been shattered slightly in it's exit. but by disclosing piece of 1 Ilhe Ieaden messenger Of death i'm bedded in the skull bones surrounding | the eye.

A gentleman speaking yesterday of the arrest of youns S.rI for being caught drinking in a saloon. said the attention of the county as well as the police officers ought to be called to 9 state of affairs of which very few peo- ple are aware. There are several sa- looms just outside the city limits or along the country roads which are frequented daily and nightly by young boys and girls. The gentleman had seen girls of from fourteen to sixteen at one saloon, and some of them he knew to be daughters of respectable parents who would be mortified if they knew where their children were.

 Indian school about eighty miles from Omaha on the Omaha Indian
 reservation. arrived at the Commercial

 vention of attaches of the Indian
 school service. Mir. Ratcliff visited
 the Phoenix Indian schoo. and was

 among the first in the country and was acquai, nted with the magnitude Of

 Many of the Indians about Omaha ore citizens of the United States, but

 itiye state, SC Omaha will not be startled at seeing Arizona's display Of painted warriors. Eastern visitors nay gain a bad impression Cn account Of the exhibit, but it will be no serious detriment to the territory. Mir. Rat eff thinks that happy feature of the exhibit is the band which sets forth Jhe remarkable contrast between the old bucks and the mere civilized progeny.
 Mir Ratc1if entered the civil service over q year ago. He passed the eX- animation for the superintendency but was first detailed to Pine Ridge, and his appointment to the Omaha agency was made only a few months ago He says that at Pine Ridge the Indians sill show signs of discontent- ment. That is probably the largest reservation in the country and there Is another reservation of Sioux In- fians only few miles away In the last year the Indians have given sight evidences Of an uprising on several occasions, but although there is a large number of Indians. if there should be an uprising it would be only , local disturbance which the authori- ties are prepared fer and would soon be put down.
 MT. Ratclif holds the same opinion B Superintendent s. NJ McCcwan re- sarding the training of Indians He thinks that more attention should be paid to the manual training than to he mental. At this generation In Hans are slow to grasp "book learn ng," but they show an aptitude fer earning many branches of art. One of their strongest inclinaticns is for music. There is no band on the Omaha reservation, brl- a few of the Indians who have been at other schools are with music and will not be l satisfied until 3 band is organized. i dr- Ratcliff hopes within a few years Q have band which will be a credit | 0 his institution as the local Indian : 'and is to the school here.

Leopold Leon Burned 10 Death by a
 Live Wire.

Leopold Leon was killed in Tempe
 about S:3O last night by a live electric wire He and Ce1iIdo Olea, both
 young men, had been at merry-go- round in East Tempe and were return
 ing to town, running to get out of the rain When they arrived near Knight's store a few blocks from the main part of town, a team and wagon stopped in the road and the young men started to run around it. It was quite dark, but the live wire lying on the ground was visible and had caused the team to stop. Olea. who was in advance, saw the wire and stepped over it, but his companion. who had his hat over his eyes to protect his face from the rain, did not see il. Olea heard him cry out as he came in contact with it, and turning, saw him lying on the ground, his breast across the wire.
 A telephone message was sem from the store to the central office which in formed the Chandler plant in Mesa and the current was turned off In the meantime Leon's clothes had caught duu luG 'DOug W as SO O10AS 'OGA -1CA that it was charred beyond recOgni- tion.
