COURT AT RICHFIELD.
Judge McCarty Disposes of Several
Matters.
Especial Correspondence.)

Especial correspondence
Richfield, Jan 22.-Judge McCarty, i'm
mediately upon his return from Salt Lake
yesterday afternoon. opened court and
gave several matters attention.
Peter L. Quist was granted letters OIL
administration in the estate of Mary A.
Quisr, his deceased wife.
The papers of m in the case
of the state VS.. James Johnson. in which
the defendant is charged with assault
with a knife upon Isaac Oldroyd. town
marshal of Glenwood, were read. De-
murrer was made by defendants attorney
and the matter was taken under advise
ment until Monday.
A petition was presented to the court
by the interested parties of Monroe, that
they had about erected a compromise in
the case wherein a dispute had arisen IN
regard to a certain amount of water and,
waiving the disoualifications of Judge
McCarty, asked that the matter be heard
by him. This case is one in which the
town of Monroe demanded a foot and a
half more water than the irrigation COM
panies would grant, and was heard IN the
district court and appealed 10 the su-
preme court. The court held that the
time had elapsed for subsequent action
in this court and the matter of agreement
would have to be presented to the su-
preme court before it rendered a de-
w. r. unker VS.. John w. Coons was
next called. This suit grows out of a
sale made by Coons, as sheriff, OF home
stead property belonging to MI. Bunker.
A judgment was obtained some time ago
by the Consolidated Implement company
of Salt Lake against Bunker for a debt
which he owed the company, and Sheriff
Coons, upon an order obtained by them,
levied upon and sold land, house and
other property belonging to Mr.. Bunker,
who claims they were exempt and asks
that he be put in possession of these and
be granted $50 as damages. The COM
plant was demurred to, one of the points
of demurrer being that Bunker had not
set forth in what manner he was the head
of a family. and the demurrer was sus-
tanned. Leave was granted plaintiff to
amend.
A point was raised in regard to the
Johnson assault case, as to whether the
word "~unlawfully'' omitted from the COM
case was passed to the supreme court,
and the court took the matter under ad-
Visement.

The proposition to present Miss Mar

cial acts of congress in recognition of
their work for i'll and wounded soldiers
in Puerto Rico, though designed to con-
fer individual distinction, in it's large
significance, offers a tribute of recOgni-
ton to the part played by women gen
orally in the recent wal. The example
of the Spartan women who, handing
the shields to their sons, admOniShed
them, with it or upon it," has become
historic. but this exalted spirit of self
sacrificing, devoted patriotism was no
more characteristic of the women of
Greece of hundreds of yea ago than
of the ome in America of 1898. Moth

No Greek nor Roman legionS marched

by the thought of home and all that

ELECTRICITY IN MINING.
Increased Utilization of This Great
Motive Power.

Motive Power.
Engineering and Mining J%ournal.)
Fer many years it has been acknowl-
edged that electricity can furnish the
power for every line Of mining work.
At first i began with signaling, then
blasting. and there was a pause me
idea OF using electricity as a power LOT
heavy work seemed absurd Wnen eA-

not much bigger than a telegraph or

the first applications on q large work
ing scale were applied, and the comDl-
nation Of water power and electricity
was put in practice. The installment at
the Virginius mine is a familiar eX-
ample.
Now we find electricity employed for

operations of mining. There was a
hitch about the drill. the gadder n

mining which can be done by steam

which cannot be done equally well by

has helped its competitors, as, for eX-

Recently the advances have been

Ohio and Pennsylvania coal mines cleo
tric c~oal-cutters have made d place for
themselves, despite the opposition of
those who desire to maintain hand Ia
Dor and object TO all machinery on gen
eral principles. and the antagonism of
rival machine systems.
UNDERGROUND haUl2ge is another wide
field for electricity. The system is par

The advantages of electric power dis
tributed to small consumers are well
proved at Cripple Creek. This is a
most IMPORTANT poin:-the installing Of

owners could not AFFORD steam hosting

THE DEL MONTE AND oPHIR.
Arizona Mines Which Are On the
Bonanza List.

Bonanza List.
The Yuma (Ariz.) Sun says that i'm
portant development work has been in
progress at the De- Monte and Ophir
mining camps, near Harqua Hala, in
h northeastern part of this county,
for the last foul months. More than
forty frst-class miners have been con-
stantly at work. From reliable sources
we receive the information that enor-
nous bodies Of high-grade free milling
ore have been exposed. The Del Monte
has eight shafts down from 100 to $50
feet each, with a large number of
drifts on the lodges. All the workings
are in firSt-clasS ore, averaging better
than SIG in free gold to the ton. There
are tWenty-three lodges on the Del
Monte alone, and every one of these
veins shows a pay chute over 1000 feet
in length The lodges vary in width
from two feet to twenty-four feet, and
every pound of rock so far hoisted is
good pay ore. The development is be-
ing pushed with great vigor.
The Ophir mines join those of the Del
Monte, and include twenty-four claims.
There are eight shafts on this proper
ty, each over 100 feet deep and several
more are being sunk. The lodges on
the Ophir and Del Monte are identical
in character and extent, as the proper
ties join. The development which has
been done on the Ophir shows a higher
grade of ore than has yet been found
on the Del Monte. several of the mines
showing an average value of over $50
per ton free gold. These two COM
panies own the heart of the Del Monte
mining district, and the work so far
done indicates thai the owners have
bonaEzas worthy the ame 1t is be-
lieved by those who have examined
the mines recently that Del Monte will
become the largest and most prosper
mining center in the territory.
Yuma will be the trading point for this
new camp.
