A MINERS SAD DEATH.
John T. Ptitchard Fell Down the Shaft Of
Mine,

John T. Pritchard, one of the best
known miners in the Chloride district,
Sierra county, was found dead on
bench in the shaft of the Treasure
mine. Pritchard had been hoisting wa
ter from the mine, and, failing to come
to supper, Superintendent Santry in
vestigated and found his mangled re-
mains about 300 feet from the surface.
Water was hoisted from the shaft
with skip and as the skip was off the
ways, 1t is surmised that Pritchard had
gone down to put it on the tracks
again, and, losing his balance, had fall
en- into the shaft. In the fall the body
landed on the third bench of the shaft
His head was mashed into pulp and
death must have been instantaneous.
He was about 65 years of age and Is
said to have had family in Wales,
from whom he had been estranged for
years.
Pritchard had lived on the Com
stock in early days and belonged to a
Masonic lodge at that place. In 1876
he had trouble with Gold Hill consta-
BILE and in the quarrel that ensued, the
constable. Humphrey Symons, was
killed. For his crime Pritchard was
arrested and came near being mobbed
by the friends Of the dead officer, but
was spirited away to Carson City,
where he was tried and convicted, SER
wing sentence in the Nevada peniten-
tiary.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 1S.-The af-
fairs of the American Mining and In
yestment company, against which the
attorney general proceeded two weeks
ago, are to be brought to an end at an
early date Attorney General Douglas
and his assistant, C. w. Somerly, for

ting the creditors of the company, and
Attorney Van Valkenberg, represent
ing the company, appeared in Judge
Ponds court, when it was agreed that

vacated and the existence of the COM

to the charges, the company admitted
that it was unable to pay it's just
debts. The appointment of receiver
will be made today
1t was developed in the course of the
discussion relative to a receiver that
the company had liabilities to the
exceed $1,000. First, the American
Mining and Investment company was
incorporated with a capital of $4,000,
of which amount 1000 only was paid

GOVERNOR OTERO
INDICATED
The Charges Against Him Fully In
vestigated and Were Found to
be Groundless.
CONGRATULATIONS TO HIN
His Reappointment Was Recommended by
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
After a Full Investigation by
Special Agents of All Charges.

The following dispatches from Wash
ington by the correspondents of the
metropolitan newspapers, who certainly
are without prejudice in the premises,
were published In the St.. Louis and the
Denver newspapers on Sunday, dated
Saturday, stating clearly the reasons for
Governor Otero's reappointment and
emphasizing his splendid standing with
the administration at Washington:
miguel A. Otero was appointed gov
ernor of New Mexico today. The term
of the governor expired on June z, but
the appointment was held up at the re-
quest of parties in the territory. Com
munications were received at the in
terror department several weeks ago
protesting against the reappointment of
Mr.. Otero Various allegations were
made relative to his management of
territorial affaiIs. The secretary of the
interior, Mr. Hitchcock, took up these
communications and had each one care
fully investigated. Mr.. Otero answered
each, and the special agents of the de-
partment made reports on them. The
| result was the complete vindication of
the present governor, and, as he had
the backing of the territorial organiza-
| tion of the party, Mr.. Hitchcock recon-
mended his reappointment.
Tonight Mr. Otero received more
than rs kilograms of congratulations at
his appointment. He left for the terri
tory and will arrive some time Wednes-
day.
''B. S. Rodey, delegate-elect from the
territory, has been here with Governor
Otero urging his reappointment."
''The president this afternoon signed
the commission of Miguel A. Otero as
governor of New Mexico to succeed
himself. This appointment was made
upon recommendation of Secretary
Hitchcock, who last night examined the
governors replies to the charges which
have been lodged against him from time
to time. All in all there were $4,000
pages of typewritten evidence in this
case, bit by far the greater part of it
was commendatory of the administra-
tion of Governor Otero, and came from
Democrats and Republicans alike.
When he came to examine the papers,
Secretary Hitchcock found that the
protests against Otero's reappointment
all dealt In generalities, no special
charges of any consequence being filed.
All of the charges that were filed up to
month ago have been examined by
special agents and been found to be
utterly groundless. In fact, the opposi
tion when sifted down, turns out to be
the same class of opposition tLat would
naturally be brought to prevent the re-
election of governor of state by the
members of the opposition party. AS
far as his administration was concerned
the secretary and the president were
firmly convinced that Governor Otero
had made an excellent record, above re-
proach, and his reappointment was
speedily determined upon when the case
was once summed up. Governor Otero
and his companion, Delegate-elect
Rodey, expect to leave this evening for
home.''
