| to enjoy any benefits which may arise from his later prospect claims. An old-time typical western character, as
 Uncle John'' is. usually not prone to speak of Indian fighting, and although it is almost needless to say that he has seen plenty of it, his whole attention is apparently absorbed in the one pre-
 yaiIing topic of mining and he remains peculiarly reticent of Indian fighting.
 Uncle John" was one of the four
 men of the Butler 6 Co.,, miners, who
 first discovered the HOlcomb valley,
 near San Bernardino, in October, 1S61
 There the company found immense
 gold floats of almost solid metal and
 the people around that region were wrought up to high pitch of excite ment. Sulphides were found which run over $500 and riches could almost be shoveled from the ground. The re- zion since has been explored by num- erOus prOSpectors but no one has been able to discover the mother lode, and the SuppOSitiOn is that at one time a volcanic upheaval had taken place and the vein buried while the floats were scattered, leaving the only trace of the rich vein.
 MT. Chaney located a claim in the Rose district near by and called the property the Jeff Davis' mine. One fourth interest was owned by his cousin, Robert Groom, who died re- gently. The mine did not contain free milling ore and the limited facilities to be commanded at that time pre- vented the treatment Of base ore, So the claim was deserted. Today the operates under the name Of the Rose mine and is valued at not less than S6,000,000 He also located the Cave mine in Utah, which has pro- duced a few million dollars of gold and which finally sold for over S1,0O0, 900. These are but two instances of the pos abilities which were within the reach of the old prospectOr, but as he said. he could make no money except with 8 poor prospect.

SUIT AGAINST A COURT
The Crowned Ring Company Apples
 for Writ of Prohibition.

An interesting proceeding was intro GUced into supreme court yesterday by an application for a writ of pre- hibition in . case whose title is The Crowned King Mining Company, George F. Harrington and Noah c. Shekels vs the district court of the Fourth Judicial district and O. F. Place The proceeding is an unusual one and is unlike any ever begun in this territory.
 Place, the defendant. and Harring- ton and Shekeis of the applicants, are the owners of the Crowned King mine, which has been in litigation, here and in Illinois, where the company was incorporated, for the last seven years. Place began suit against the company and his partners, alleging a misman- agement of the property the fraudu- lent and pretended issuance of stock the illegal election and meetings of a board of directors and the payment by the partners to themselves of $500 a month each as joint superintendents. He asked for the appointment of a re- ceiver. It was also alleged that the mismanag cement of the property con sisted of an attempt to gut the mine by taking out the richest ore and it is pointed out that in spite of the mar vicious strike of three months ago, no dividend has since been declared.
 The defendants pleaded a want Of jurisdiction in the case on the ground that the company was a foreign cor poration Judge Sloan, passing upon tho plea, decided that though the de iendant was a foreign corporation, it had complied with the laws of the territory and he accordingly took jur- isdictiOn. The case has not been tried yet, but the defendants have taken a shorter route than by an appeal, in the application for writ restraining Judge Sloan from proceeding with the case. Should the application be de nied an appeal from the decision will probably be taken to the supreme court of the United States. Should it be granted the case will be transferred to the Illinois courts. In any event there is prospect of indefinite litiga- ton ahead

AN OLD PROSPECTOR.
John Chaney. Who Has Spent the Bet ter Part of His Life Looking
 For Gold.

John Chaney, universally known i'll Arizona as Uncle John," arrived Sar- urday night from his prospect at the headwaters of Cave creek. "Uncie John" is an old-timer over 70 years of age. He is one of the forty miners left and came to this territory about eigh- teen years ago.
 As he sat cOmposedly drawing on his pipe yesterday he was induced into a conversation relating to old times. Be tween the periods of attention to his pipe it was learned that he is an old MissOuri8n, having immigratcd from Liberty fifty years ago. and since that time he has never returned to his home He has spent the entire time in mining and h2 laments the fact that he ca realize money only from pooEdM ects.

AVICTIM OF PERJURY
YSabeI FaCIO Served Four Years for
 HEo1her'S Crime.

Governor Murphy yesterday par
 doned Ysabel Facio, a life man at
 Yuma Facio was sentenced from
 Apache county on April 27, 1894, for the murder of his friend, Joe Campbell, a half-breed Mexican. The murder oc- cured at Winslow in the spring of 1893. There was doubt at the time re- garding Facio's guilt but whatever evi- dence there was, was given against him so that his attorneys, appointed by the court, Messrs. R. E. Morrison and w. H. Burbage, advised him to plead guilty to the indictment for murder and receive a life sentence Thus time would be given them to establish his innocence, if he were innocent as he undoubtedly would be. capital punishment would almost certainly be inflicted upon him.
 The movement for his pardon began as long ago as December of 1897 1t was recommended by Hon. J. J. Hawk ins, the presiding judge; T. s. Bunch, the district attorney who procured his conviction, and later by Superintendent Herbert Brown of the territorial prison.
 The story the tragedy and the pun ishment of Facio is as complicated as the plot of a novel and contains much more of plot than the average mod ern drama. It is gathered from the statement of Messrs. Morrison and Burbage that the murder of Campbell occurred at WinslOw one night in April or May of 1893. He and Facio who were bosom friends, were one night drinking in a saloon. The next morning the body of Campbell was found. He had been stabbed to death The body lay on the desert some dis tance from the roadway but a pair of trousers and overalls covered with blood and afterwards identified as the property of Facio were discovered near the road FaciO himself was found drunk and was arrested When charged with the crime he manifested deep grief and said: 'If I murdered my friend Campbell I know nothing about it and yet I must have done it, else how came I all covered with blood?" Only two witnesses appeared against Facio. They were Vic Solano and his wife, Eugenia, whois described in the statement as a young woman of singular beauty. Their evidence was wholly circumstantial. They did not see the murder committed but about o'clock in the morning they saw Facio staggering about on the desert near the

A DAYS RUNAWAY
A Tourist Given Several Hours En-
 tertainment Yesterday.

A runaway which occupied a con
 siderable part of the day set in somc
 time before noon yesterday. A heavy
 team of horses which an old man was vainly trying to restrain dashed along
 all the principal streets threatening
 comprehensive destruction but actU- ally accomplishing nothing more than
 widespread excitement and consterna-
 tion. The episode is graphically de
 scribed by an eastern tourist who en-
 dangered his health by hurrying
 around in the wind trying to see the whole performance Said he: T was
 standin' in front of the Hotel Adams
 about 11:30 and big team dashed up Adams street. One of the horses bits was broken and the driver, an old ma q,
 vas sawin' away on the lines, his whi3- keTs proudly floatin' in the wind l guess the procession had just got start
 ed for there was n0thin' of it except the team. three or four dogs runuin'
 behind, barlZin', and half dozen small
 boys runnin' along the sidewalk vel lin. Nobody was taking it seriously, but the old man. The horses ran three or four blocks east and turned north. l thought that was the end Of it. Ten minutes later I saw the outfit shoot across Adams street south, the old man still sawin' and his whiskers still afyin'. There were more dogs and boys
 T ran across to Washington street to see the end of the catastrophe. I met the procession comin' up the street. It had received some acces~ sions The boys and dogs had grown in numbers, there were two bicycilists and a feller on horseback, I took to be cowboy. in hot pursuit The old man was still sawin' and the cowboy was tryin' to coil his rope The out- fit rushed On west and 1 lost sight of 'em in a cloud of dust I took a drink at the Palace and went out on the sidewalk and was talkin' to a frienI about fifteen minutes when I heard a thunderin' racket in the west 1 just had time to catch a glimpse of that cortege scoOtin' south across Washing ton street again. The cowboy hadn't gained any on the old mans whiskers but the bicycle brigade and the battal- ion of small boys and dogs had been reinforced.
 Then I went down to the Conner cial hotel bar-room and watched some fellows playin' solo for half an hour l heard something that sounded like an earthquake. I ran out to the side walk and along came that runaway from the east hell-bent for Texas. The wind was in the west and the old mans whiskers were snappin' in the breeze. The cowboy was still fumblin with his rope and the small boys, dogs and bicycle arms of the service had been recruited to full strength. At the court house the parade turned south and I didn't sec it any more. expect it's goin' yet and will keep goin' as long as the old mans whisk- CTS hold out, or till the cowboy gets his rODC fiXod.''

 Immediately after the trial of FaciO
 Solano and his wife suddenly disap- peared from Winslow and their where
 ab0uts could not be learned After awhile rUmors began to be circulated that Solano and his wife had gone to Mexico that the woman was dead and that shortly before her death she had made the statement that FaciO was in nOcent. These rumOrS were all traced to an old man, Pautaleon Demas, the father of Eugenia, but when the attOr- neys went to see him about the stories he denied all knowledge of the matter which had been reported. Suspicion had been entertained against Solano ill the beginning though the circum- stances were overwhelming against Facio. Solano had a motive for the killing of Campbell. The half-breed was handsome and dashing and his re- lations with the woman Eugenie had scandaIized the Mexican quarter. Be side Solano had been seen drinking with Campbell and Facio the night be- fore the murder. His conduct on the witness stand had first aroused suspic- ion against him. He was pale and agi- tated. His lips were dry and parched and he feared to look into the eyes Of his interrogators. He managed things so that his wife could never be seen apart from him during the inquiry. Another suspicious circumstance was that he and his wife should have seen Facio at the early hour and the un- usual place described by them.
 After the trial Messrs. Morrison and Burbage stopped at Winslow to see Solano and the woman, hoping to get an admission from the woman but they had gone Nobody knew where.
