MORE COBRE GRANDE
Woods People Obtained Two
 Temporary lnjunCtiOnS.
A Rumor That Payment of G37 800 Under the Escrow Agreement Has Just Been Made Into a Mexican Court at Hermosillo.

An important move in Cobre Grande affairs late last Saturday was made public yesterday. Two petitions for injunction were filed by the Costello Wood faction, though Costello him. self does not appear in the new di- first complaint is the Cobre Grande company against w. C. Greene. George Mitchell and the Phoenix National bank. November 26 was the date on which, under the so-called Greene Mitchell contract, there was to be paid to Greene the sum of $S7,5OO, a first payment on the group of mines em- bracing the Cobre Grande and fifteen other claims. This contract or option had been assigned to the Cobre Grande company and had been placed in the Phoenix National bank in escrow. It had been apprehended that the Greene and Mitchell faction under the clause of the escrow agreement, fOrfeiting to Greene in the event of failure of pay ment, would apply to the bank for a surrender of the agreement yesterday.
 
 vice was had on the bank. though it could not be immediately obtained on the other defendants.
 The complaint recites the facts of the contract between Mitchell and Greene. the assignment of the contract to the incorporation. the subsequent sale of stock in the Cobre Grande company on the strength of that contract and op- tion, and the application of the pro- ceeds to the improvement and better ment of the property.
 Then is alleged d conspiracy on the part of Greene, Mitchell and their as sociates to prevent the company from making payment. thereby working a forfeiture of rights in the contract and a reversion of the property to Greene. Then follows a description of the Bis bee meeting at which Greene, Mitchell and G. A. TreadwelI were elected president, and Scott White secretary. and at which it was de- clared that President Costello and Sec retary Wood were deposed.
 After that it is alleged that the de fendants Greene and Mitchell secured possession of the company's mail and returns from the bullion which had been shipped to various smelters. It was then stated that Greene organized the Cananea Consolidated Copper com pany and assumed to convey to it the contract and option, claiming a for feiture under the escrow agreement. It is then alleged that the defendants took possession of the property along with supplies worth s25,OOO and the re- ceipts from bullion amounting to $50, ,OOO.
 The statement is made that a suit for possession of the property is now pending in the state of Sonora. As surance is given that the plaintiff will obtain possession of all the property

PASTOR BECOMES LORD.
Report That Rev. Thomas Drew Is
 Heir to British Peerage.

Richmond. Va, Nov. 27.-The report has reached here from Chase City that Rev. Thomas Drew, D. D.. Pres byterian minister at that place, has fallen heir to a peerage in England, and also comes into possession of large estates.
 Lord Drew is well known in Rich mond, where he has served as a pastor for several years. In May. 1883. owing to the illness of Rev. C. H. Read. pas tor of the Grace Street Presbyterian church, Rev. Thomas Drew was in- vited and on October r. 1883, he was fn- stalled as their regular pastor. He served until October, 1888, when he ac- cepted a call to Chase City. Va.
 Lord Drew, it is said, has sailed for Europe to investigate his new-found title and wealth. He came from Eng land, and his family is one of promi- hence under the queens dominion. The new lord is now about sixty-seven years of age, and has spent his life in the service of the Presbyterian church.

except what has been squandered by the defendants, and within reason- able time will be able to make pay ment under the escrow agreement, which payment would have already been made but for the Instructions successfully offered by the defendants. The court was therefore asked to issue a temporary order restraining Greene and Mitchell from applying for the contract and the bank from surrender ing it. It is also asked that Greene be required to account for the property during the time it has been in his pos session. The restraining order was issued.
 The title of the other suit is the ter ritory. on complaint of c. F. Aims worth, attorney-generaI.O on relation of F. B. Gage, J. Henry Wood Con O'Keefe, Aurelio Melgarejo and w NJ Adamson. against William c. Greene, George Mitchell, George A. Treadwen, Scott White and Win Wylie The fact of the two meetings held in this city on November 14 is recited. At the first the plaintiffs were elected direct OTIS and F. B. Gage president. and J. Henry Wood secretary. The defend- ants were elected directors at the sec ond meeting. The plaintiffs state that all the books and papers of the com pany are in their possession. They ask for a judgment that they are the directors of the company that the de- fendants are not and that they be re- strained from representing themselves to be. This order was also issued. The latter suit was evidently begun in order to straighten the record of the plaintiffs in the courts of this terri tory that they may go before the Mex ican courts better fortified
 It was reported late yesterday after noon that an unexpected thing had oc- cured, which, if it had been known before the filing of the former com plaint, would have altered the terms of it; it was that the payment of sS7, 800 had just been made by eastern parties into the Mexican court at Her mOsillO.

GRIFFITH THE GREAT
Wonderful Hypnotic Performances
 Last Night.

Hypnotism is a science. and Profes- sor Griffith, who gave his initial per- 1 formance at the Patton Grand last night, comes nearer being a master of it than any one else who has ever wis ited this section of the country His blindfold drive yesterday after noon under the inspection of a com mittee of four citizens needs no com ment, as many witnessed it and all have heard about it.
 The performance at the opera house opened with short lecture on the sub ject of hypnotism in which Professor Griffith explained it's nature, its uses and it's abuses, stating, however, that it was practically impossible to hypno- tize person against his will, though often a will power could be broken by continued efforts. That is, some sub jects who could not be placed under control with the limited time and effort at command before an audience, could, perhaps, be hypnotized by a longer | seance.
 He then invited any and all who de- sired to be hypnotized to come upon the stage. Several responded, among them notably being Mayor Gang, Max ' CzurcZka, manager of the New York store. and Godfrey Tribolet. After a few experiments the professor decided that the mayor and MT. Tribolet were tough customers, and acknowledged | that he could do little with them in the time at his disposal. They were therefore dismissed and all attention turned to the rest of the class of some seven or eight members. A description of the performance would be too lengthy. but it was replete with in- tensely amusing performances, and all as harmless as they were interesting. In one instance he had the entire class skating like 16-year-old boys. or rather. trying to. as most of them spent their time in falling down and getting up.
 Then he had them all arranged on the veranda of a big hotel flirting with q lot of girls across the way.
 Probably the most ludicrous per formance was the reproduction of a circus in which the various dignified members of the class took part as q bareback riding girl. rope walker, jug sler, strong man, calliope, etc. The confusion and noise was realistic and pleasing.
 The most wonderful feat of the evening was that of placing Edwina (AIrs. Griffith, also a hypnotist, in cataleptic and rigid state. In this con dition her head was placed on the back of one chair and her feet on the back of another. She is a slender wo- man and it seemed almost cruel to witness Max Czurzka, Edward Irvine and another man larger than either of them step from an adjacent table upon her fragile body. But they did so and remained standing there till ordered down.
 The closing test and one still in process was that of placing young man who travels with the company in a cataleptic state in which it is eX- pected he will remain for forty-eight hours. After the performance he was brought up to Goldbergs store and placed in their show window, where he is now on exhibition.

RAILWAY CHARGES ARSON.
Seaboard Air Line Resists Judgment
 for Burning of Ice Plant.

Raleigh. N. C.. Nov. 27.-The supreme court will this week hear arguments in very odd case. The Hygienic Ice company of Charolette had an ice plant here. One night in August. 1894, the plant was burned. Last year the company sued the Seaboard Air Line for damages to the full value of the plant. setting up the claim that the fire was caused by sparks from pass ing locomotive. The superior court gave a verdict for S2O,GOO damages.
 The railway company has filed a mass of affidavits. mainly by Dennis Rowe, a negro dectective from Rich mond, stating that a negro had con- fessed that he saw his brother, then a fireman at the ice factory, set fire to it, and that it was done to get the in Surance money.
 The ice company a few days ago filed affidavits that Rowe's evidence was false, and that he was not worthy of
Arizona republican., 1899-11-28

credence. Today the railway con- pany filed another batch of thirteen affidavits by Richmond business men, tending to show that Rowe's character is good. Others are from Wilson, N. C., to the effect that Rowe's evidence in cases there had been believed. The afhdavits further allege that certain detectives with whom Rowe refused to divide made the afidavits attacking his character.

Fortunes Spent In Tracing American
Diamonds.
In the meantime mineralogists are
wondering if America may not do much
toward breaking the combines power
by supplying new diamond fields. The
newspapers for five or six years have
occasionally printed the announcement
that a fine diamond had been found
near Milwaukee, in Wisconsin. These
stories have been regarded by the pub
lie as of no particular Importance, but
not SO by the mineralogists. From all
over the world experts have come to
study that field. The way in which the
stones have turned up has been mys-
FERROUS.
Diamonds are the result of certain
definite geological processes. They are
the product of enormous heat and stu
pendous pressure, both brought to bear
upon carbon at the same time and crys-
tallizing it. The geographical forIna-
tons in which this curious process has
gone ON are known as chimneys. They
are really comparatively small vents,
through which enormous quantities of
matter have been expelled quickly by
means of some volcanic convulsion
within the earth. Mother Nature in
pushing great quantity of practically
molten matter containing carbon
through hole too small for it brought
about these two necessary conditions
for the production of diamonds--heat
and pressure.
But biologists, when they went to To-
ealities where diamonds had been found
in Wisconsin were puzzled by the fact
that no formation of the chimney kind
existed anVwbpra a IaO1tf&a III 1ffoS fin a l1xr
decided that the stones must have been
brought from some great distances by a
glacier, which dropped them when it
melted. One of the great jewelry firms
in New York sent its celebrated expert
to Wisconsin to study the course of this
glacier, hoping to find chimneys at the
point where it started. This expert did
trace the glacier and there found a
chimney. There was only one, and it
had been worked cut. Facts indicated
that this was done by German min
eralogist who was known to have been
in that locality some years before He
had quietly worked out the chimney,
taken What stones he found, and find
ing no other diamond-b bearing spots,
had gone back to Germany, saying
nothing to anyone of his find.
Tiffany & Co. alone spent thousands
of dollars in studying the so-cal1ed

means certain, however, that in Amer

mineralogists agree that nowhere else
on earth exists conditions more likely
to develop diamond producing forma-
tons. An intelligent scientific search
for these diamond fields, which scien-
lists believe are hidden somewhere on
this continent, is continually going on.

He has also instructed Mr.. Williams
to tighten the watch against diamond
thieving, for when the employees
learn that the stones have increased

to be an outbreak in that direction,

five years, but Mr.. Rhodes is cautious
and advocates a constant diminution
in the yearly output for fear that this
vein of blue ground may suddenly be
exhausted and humanity deprived of

Office and into that dumped all the
rough diamonds that had been mined
during the year 1889. They filled it TO
the brim.
Now" he said. I'll buy that bucket
of diamonds from you, Rhodes, just
as they are, unsorted.'
The two quickly agreed upon price
and then and there was laid the
foundation of the famous diamond syn
dictate which is now attracting the at
tention of the gem-wearing public. for
when Balnato- packed up the stones
and sent them to London and Amster-s
dam it required the experts there three
months to accomplish the sorting and
in that period diamonds became so
scarce in the market that they began
To bring fancy prices. Mr.. Rhodes, who
can awaken to such an opportunity
without being roughly jolted, saw it
was a good thing, and since then his
syndicate has been buying up the
Kimberley diamond crop in advance,
doing out the stones as it sees fit.
The product is now arranged for until,
June, 1900, and if the demand for these
sparkling baubles continues to increase
no one can say what diamonds will
be worth a year from now. The De
Beers Consolidated Mines company
has the world at its mercy. Not
enough diamonds are produced in
Brazil, Australia and other scattered
localities to supply the demand of the
city of Philadelphia alone. The jew
elers in Maiden Lane say that the mar
ket value Of stones is already 40 per
cent higher than it was year ago,
with indications that the high water
mark has not been reached. Every
few weeks the syndicate makes a 10
per cent advance, and the buyer must
pay it or leave their contracts untitled,
which is a costly proceeding.
