White was compelled to give the verdict

Vale and the deceased were friends and

All went well until a few days before the
difficulty which resulted in the death OF
Jackson. On the Thursday before the

was staying al Wales house during the

Vale returned from work. he again found
Jackson at his home. He ordered him
away and told him not TO return espe-

to the house again and was again ordered
away. On Saturday. it is said Vale pur-
chased a pistol and said to several of his
neighbors that he intended to burn up
Jacksons city" and on Sunday morning
about an hour before the shooting took
place he is said to have been heard TO say
that he intended 20 kill Jackson before the

THE GREAT BELCHER MINE.
Splendid Record of One of Arizona
First Gold Producers.


The Great Belcher mine. OF Yavapal
County. Arizona, OF which so much has
been written and said, recently. is one OF
the oldest mines In Arizona. In the old
mining days Of the State when Indians
and high prices kept the majority OF mines
from being worked It was extensively eX-
plored, and il is asserted that 500, 900 as
extracted from the oxides found at the
surface. II was given up after several
years Of large production like many others
that became unproductive to the crude
methods then used, because the Charac-
ter OF the ore became more rebellious-
The new management OF the BelcheT is
using the new methods and processes with
most flattering results, it is said and
mining experts are much impressed with
the showing II has made.
At present various openings are being
made on the mine. and in every instance
the result has been highly satisfactory.
Mining men note the fact, too. that com
paratively speaking. it Is one Of the
cheapest mines in Arizona to handle. while
under operation, on account Of the loose"
formation Of the ground. The mine is a
large vein carrying gold and copper and a
small amount Of silver. These metals are
carried in a sulphide and in places there
is shown fifteen feet OF solid ore Of much
richness.
Henry B. Clifford & Co, who have
incorporated the Great Belcher Company
are skillful and energetic mining men.
They have purchased extensive machinery
and are beginning work on an important
scale A powerful gasoline hosting plant
is now In operation and air compressors
and air drills have arrived and will soon
be at work A large milling and concentrat-
ing plant Of SOC tons daily capacity has
been bought and a narrow gauge railway
will soon be in operation.
The Belcher is a patented mine one Of
the first patented, in Arizona, a feature
Of its past rating which carries great
weight with mining men.

Mr.. Glsdstone's Retort.

Mr.. Gladstone was not usually r.

not set up for one. yet l have heard
him say, at one time or another, things
which l consider to be witty Many
years ago, when residing in Liverpool,
I was present one evening at a meeting
at which Mr.. Gladstone appeared ~
the advocate Of the candidate Of his
brother-in-law, Sir Stephen Glynns.
who was at that time standing for the
representation in parliament Of q
neighboring county. At the moment
when Mr.. Gladstone had finished his
speech shabby looking, unkempt and
ragged man thrust himself forward to
the front of the meeting and insisted
on asking Mr.. Gladstone q question.
He wanted to know whether Mr.. Glad
stone would not hold his brother-in-
law -hhcca.,. -hc,aiR . TO follow LA LA - =
course he proposed to take whenever
he, Mr.. GladStone, should become
prime minister. The object Of the
mans question was obviously to dis
credit Sir Stephen Glynne and to show
him up as the mere nominee and in
strument Of his illustrious brother-in-
law. There were some angry inter
ruptions, and there were also many
scornful cries Of Don't answer him"
from the audience But Mr.. Gladstone,
having first stilled the noise by q wave
of his hand. and then fixed his eyes
on the rude questioner, said in his
blandest manner: Il shall hold my
brother-in-law bound to follow me
when am prime minister so long q
adopt course which tends to the
welfare Of the people; and shall hold
him bound to follow you, when you
are prime minister so long as you
adopt a course that tends to the same
| great result" l need not say that the
interrupter thereafter remained silent.
