 The Mexican was not greatly 1ntoX icatcd, if he had been drinking at all, but he had caused several disturb ances in the block previously. He had been using loud language and was only interrupted in his fourth fight

FLESH FOR GOLD
A Place Where Placer Working
 Pays.

Speaking of placer mining, Thomas L. Davenport said yesterday that if man could stand the climate there is 10 p-ace in the world where he could get rich so fast as in Dutch Guiana. But the climate is almost unbearable and levers are prevalent and deadly. Back of SuIfnam there are Cnly path ways through the dense tropical jun gle made a hundred years ago. If one wants to leave the beaten path he must laboriously cEt his way. Wher- ever he goes he finds gold. The min ing regulations are liberal. There is nc such thing as locating and owning claim. But one may lease placer grounds at about two bits a Dutch acre. A Dutch acre is nearly twice as large as an American acre.
 MT. Davenport made trip from Porto Rico to the South American mainland and while he was at Suri- nam he met man who had just taken out niEety-six pounds of gold in six days with the aid Of forty natives, whose services did net cost him much. The miner said he would not hunt for any more gold in Dutch Guiana. He looked as if he was going to die. He said he had been in the TransVaaI for great many years and when he ar rived at Surinam weighed PIP pounds. When MT. Davenport saw him he weighed 40 pounds. He had traded himself fer gold on the advantageous terms Of a pound Of flesh for pound and a third Of gold, but he said he had nothing more to exchange. Almost any man would be glad to trade a reasonable part of his weight for geld, pound for pound, but when the limit is reached he would have to discontinue his bartering.
 Still there are lots of men, some in Phoenix, who do not know when | O quit trading. They exchange not Cnly part, but al, of their bodies and their souls fer gold and do not get nearly as good terms as this Surinam miner made.

AN OFFICERS FIGHT
He Heard Inc Enhancing Music of
 Bullet.

A deviation of a few inches of bull let last night and Officer Joe Bush would not be living to tell lis story Four CT five Mexicans collected in front of A E. Cobb's house a short distance south of the M & P. depot about 10 o'clock Two of the crowd had grievances which they proceeded tc' settle. Officer Bush was some dis tance away, but the noise occasioned by the altercation attracted his at tention. When he arrived he found the two MexicEns fighting and they resisted when he tried to arrest them. One of them he knew ard concluded to let go until the next morning. He started after the other, 9 stranger. The Mexican had backed ten or twelve steps near a ditch and Bush warned him to step.
 The Mexican drew a siX-sho0fer and took deliberate aid and fired at Bush, the bullet whistling by Bush's head. The officer drew his revolver and the Mexican made haste to get away. Bush fired once, apparently with no effect,

loon. Justice Campbell was notified and summoned a jury and held an in- quest, the verdict being that the name of the deceased was unknown and that he came to his death from natural causes Quite a number of parties viewed the corpse but no one could identify it as it had lain there, from indications, for about six weeks since death. The stable has not been used fer long time. About a month ago a man applied to the owners to rent it. The door of the part where the corpse was found was locked and he went 10 a window on the north side of it and looked in. Seeing a man lying there apparently asleep he thought he would not disturb him, so came away without entering. On looking at the remains last night he identified them as the same he had seen month ago. The appearance of the room indicated that the man had been living there for some prior to his death, as some extra clothing from that on him was found. Among other things found were sev- eraI cigar boxes containing glasses for watches.
 The indications also were that he had been sick for at least a short time. A miners candle was found partially burned within easy reach of his bed, also Q bottle containing medicine,

GENERAL ALIENS DEATH.
One Of Arizonas Most Respected Pio-
 neers Passes to the Great Beyond.

Yesterday General J. B. Allen, one Of the early pioneers of Arizona, passed quitely away after a lingering decline of several weeks. A few days ago the deceased was subjected to d very painful and critical surgical op- eration for cancer in the side of his face which although he bore with marked equanimity, yet the general decline of his strength had so reduced his vital powers that it was only a matter of few days at best when those who knew him felt he must h> relieved of his sufferings. The de- ceased was nearly so years old and was a native of the state of Maine, and was educated in Boston. The following from the Star Of last October on the anniversary of his last birthday will best explain some of his traits of char acter and value to Tucson and the territory:
 General Allen came to Arizona in 1857, making his first stop at Yuma and participated in the placer gold ex- oitement of that time at Gila City. He came to Tucson in 1858 and has been here or at points tributary ever since. He was first elected member of the Arizona legislature in 1867 and was one of the factors in having the capital removed from Prescott to Tucson. He was three times a member of the leg islature.
 He was territorial treasurer from 1867 to 1872. When he assumed office the territory was $26,000 in debt. He had a bill prepared which became 8 law providing a revenue for the terri tory. In 1872 when he retired from office the territory was free of debt, with S160OO in the general fund and s5,000 in the territorial school fund. No man did so much for the early financial interest Of Arizona as Gen. cTal Allen.
 It can be truthfully said that Gen eral Allen laid the foundation Of the more modern Tucson in early days He erected . number of the best buildings of his day. When he was construct ing the building at the corner of Con gross and Meyer streets, twenty-five years ago, they said he was crazy. When he erected a residence where the railroad depot now stands (which was then far cut in the brush) they said he was a hermit. When he se- cured the location of the military camp at Fort Lowell, they believed he had gone daft
 General Allen made several large fortunes in and about Tucson and in vested every dollar in advancing the interests Cf the city. He was among the first to inaugurate public schools, churches and everything which par JOCK Of progress. Being well educated he accumulated a vast store of know cage rich data, and knew more about Arlzona. its history, growth and con guests than any living man.-Tucson Star.
