the Register declined to place the paper
on file. After hearing argument on the
matter the court ordered the writ for
mandamus asked for to be issued and
the Register took an appear to the Court
of Appeals for the District.
During the current week several mat
ters of importance will also occupy the
attention of the court. One of these is
the consideration of the validity Of the
old statute which provides for the arrest
/ of "A person for debt. This question will
| come up in the form of a petition for a
writ of habeas corpus. asking for the re-
! lease of a debtor arrested about two
| weeks ago. When the debtor was taken
into custody he applied to the court for
| his release under habeas corpus proceed
| ings. The matter was set for hearing
last week, but was postponed on account
of the inability of the petitioners coun-
, sci to appear in court.
A hearing on the petition of Mrs. Minnie
! p. Ribb for writ of habeas corpus to
recover possession of her two children
will probably come ON today or tomorrow.
The petitioner twice married, her
first husband being named Douglass. The
children of whom Mrs. Bibb is now seek
ing to gain possession. 1t Is stated. are
living with their grandmother. who, 1t is
said, desires to retain them on the ground
that she reared them from infancy. MFs
Bibb in her petition, however. states that
she is well able to provide for her chtl-
dren and asks the court to give her the
custody of them. She also states that be
cause of diff, rences which have recently
arisen between herself and the children s
grandmother over some property inter-
csts. she is not allowed to visit her chill
dren.
1t was expected that the matter would
have come up for hearing on Friday last
and all the parties interested were at the
City Hall. The two children, Grace V.
and Virginia Lee Douglass, were also
present under the order of the court The
girls are twins and of remarkably strtk-
! ing resemblance. In fact their similarity
of features is so great that it is said
the teachers where they attend school are
unable to distinguish one from the other.
The children are about eleven years of
age
The petitions of the children of the late
William L. Corcoran asking for the re-
noval of their guardian, Mrs Annie NJ.
Wise, Will come up for hearing tomorrow,
in the probate division of the Supreme
Court of the District. The children have
made complaints against their guardian
which, Mrs Wise contends, are wholly
without foundation in fact. and she is
anxious that they be Investigated.

BUSINESS OF THE COURTS.
Cases Likely to De Considered Dur
in. the Summer.

During the last four or five weeks there
has been a great deai more business OF
Importance considered and disposed of IN
the different branches Of the Supreme
Court of tbs District than there has been
for many years in the summer holidays
1t was not until abJut ten days ago
that the consideration of the Potomac
Flats cases, il their new phases, got
well under way, and are now ready to
be pushed to a finel adjudication after the
summer recess
1t Is believed that the answers of all
the claimants to interest in property
along the Potomac River from within the
District have been filed in accordance
with the requirements of the supplement-
al petition of the Government reopening
the matter. to determine the value of the
wharf property. The taking of testimony
relative to the value of the property
however will not be commenced, Under
an agreement between counsel for the
United States and the claimants, until
after September l.
Under the most favorable circumstances
it is not expected that the case can be
submitted to the court for final dispo-
sition within eighteen months or per-
haps two years
Another matter of Importance to the
members OF the District bar and also to
litigants in the probate division of the
Supreme Court of the District which will
come up for consideration at the fall ses-
sion of the Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict is the question of the payment oil
certain costs in connection with the
office of the Register of Wills. This ques-
tion was presented to one of the justices
of the Supreme Court OK the District
about two weeks ago, in the form of a
petition for a writ Of mandamus to COM
pei the Register to place a certain docu-
ment on record of file without the de-
posit of the fee demanded by the Regis

sidered by the Register or Wills as
caveat to a viii offered for probate and
in accordance with the usual custom re-
quired the contestant to make a deposit

A SHARP FIsTIc ENCOUNTER.
The Victor Is Locked Up and the Vic
finn Is in n HOsDitnl,

An alley between u and V, Thirteenth
and Fourteenth Streets northwest, was
the scene of a lively fistic encounter at
an early hour Sunday morning, as a result
of which John Morton, colored, occupies
a cot in Freedmans Hospital with
badly disfigured face. while Isaac Hern-
don, colored, is locked up at the Eighth
precinct station, charged with assault and
battery.
The fight grew out of the actions of
Morton who upon being offered bucket
of beer by Herndon, it is said, was so
impolite as to decline to drink, saying that
1t was drugged, and following up that
statement by hurting the "growler" into
Herndon's face. This act was too much
for Herndon, who proceeded to pound
Morton's face beyond recognition. In the
meantime some one in the large crowd
that gathered threw a brick, which struck
Morton and knocked hIm out. Policeman
Barrett arrived and placed Herndon under
arrest, while Morton was removed to the
hospital.

The xOGOLLON
MINING DISTRICT
1t is One Of the Big Producers Of Gold in
New Mexico and It's Future Seems
Very BRIGHT.
SOME GOOD MINING PROPERTIES

w. j. Weatherby of Cooney, in the
Mogollon mining district in Socorro
county, is in the capital to interest peo-
pie in the Little Charlie group of mines
in the richest section of the mining dis
trict on which he has an option. MI.
WeatirN&Ay speaks very earnestly or
the great mineral wealth Of tie Mogol-
Ions which have alreHdy Produced
something like 100000 in gold-s He is
confident that the Durango-Clifton
railroad or the Colorado & Gulf as it is
- lu1lSx...ssx6. 1nfkla,be bulls, thsr sur :
veyors being IN the Mogollon district at
present Naturally that will mean much
for the district which despite it's dis"
tance from any railroad has already
produced millions in gold. While there
was lack of water for one month this
year in the district there is plenty OF II
now. The CHA is higher than 1t mas
been for years and Mr.. Weatherby had
to wait a whole day before he could
cross it on his way to the railroad. The
other large river of that section Is the
San Francisco, lying west of the Mo-
gollon.
Considerable development work Is be-
ing done on the Little Charlie group
which in part lies on the famous Fan
ME yein one of the four rich veins OF
the district. The Little Fannie has al
ready produced over a million dollars.
The Cooney mine is being worked to
supply five stamp mill and clears
SIS, 900 a month.
The Maud S. too is being worked and
produces several hundred pound bars
each month. 1t keeps a fifteen stamp
mill going day and night.
The B. o. B: or Deep Down mine Is
idle but Mr.. Weatherby pronounces 1t
one Of the best mines in the district and
says that under proper management
and with ample capital it would be-
come big dividend payer.
The Helen Mining company has
large reserve of ore and a good milling
plant. It's workings are over mile
long.
The four postoff1ces OF the district are
Cooney, Mogollon, Graham and Alma,
the latter DGlnS more VI d SloCh ScA.Si
than a mining camp.
Thomas Cooney last week bought the
Sipe ranch for $1,000
Considering that the Mogollon district
has been big producer in the past
that it's ore veins are of immense size
and some of them run high in values,
there can be no doubt, says Mr.. Wealth
erby, that the Mogollons will continue
to produce gold and other metals eN-
tensively and when the railway touches
them will astonish the world as pro-
ducers of precious metals. The mair
line of the proposed railroad, however
will scarcely touch the mining camps
as the grade to them is difficult, bu'
will run spurs to them while from the
mines tramways will be run to the
spurs. Mr.. Weatherby has with him
lot of fine specimens of ore from tins
