The Supreme
Court in Session.

At Phoenix this week the supreme
court is in session. The cases which
have thus far come before the court are
Of interest to Tucson. One of the eases
is the famous military dispute. OF this
case the Republican says:
The only business transacted in the
supreme court yesterday was the reset.
ting for January l8 of the case of George
Martin, appellant, VS.. Gust A. Hoff,
mayor of Tucson, appellee, from Pima
county, and the entering upon the cal
endar OF the case of the Territory appel
liant, VS.. Dan Sullivan, and Kittie sulli-
van, respondents, also from Pimacounty.
The first action grew out OF the dispute
in Tucson over the ownership of the So
called military plaza. in which it was
claimed by the. appellant and others
who squatted upon 1t that the govern.
ment's title to 1t had never been relin-
quished. In the district court the eity's
title was sustained. The other case was
brought up by the district attorney of
Pima county TO get ruling on a law
point. Whatever the opinion of the
court may be, it cannet disturb the
respondents, who are at liberty.
The case of the Suilivans is peculiar
one. Mrs. Sullivan had been for some
time engaged In q neighborhood quarrel
with another woman in mining camp
south oi Tucson. where they lived. The
quarrel was continued day after day
without apparently approaching head
until Sullivan, who was man of action
rather than words, grew weary and
desirous OF witnessing the end OF it. One
day he got the women together and COM
pelled them to fght. He stood by with
a revolver as precaution against inter
ference by anthinking outsiders who
did not know how he had been annoyed
by the protracted wordy disturbance. II
wasa desperate and bloody encounter,
but Mrs. Sullivan, encouraged by the
presence or lear Of her husband, proved
to be the better man and, az witness
said, Finally knocked the stuffin, = out
oil the other woman. Sullivan and iais
wife were arrested ON charge OF muir
derous assault, and having been con
victed before Judge Davis. we're sensen-
ced to the penitentiary. They were
subsequently pardoned.
William Wall. whose appeal from the
judgment Of Judge Doan Of pinai county
where he had been convicted OF murder,
was dismissed last Monday, Is in the
territorial asylum Tor the insane.

The many friends OF Col. Alex. @.
Brodie In Tucson will be glad to learn
that he has struck ii rich In his Grown
Point gold mine in Yavapai county. Ol
the strike the Prescott Prospect says.
4 great strike was made Eve months
ago i'm the Grown Point mine, situated
in Castle creek district, the secret Il
which has been kept from the public in
most careful manner ever since. IL ID
one OF the most phenomenal ore boaiea
discovered in an Arizona mine In many
years, and ii further development proves
as good material as that already an.
covered and equal or greater in size, one
OF the greatest gold mines in the world
will have been found.
In October last the owners were sink
ing, following two-foot streak Of oreon
the hanging wall. AT the 40o-foot Level
the men were given orders TO crosa-cut,
and they did so. After going six feet a
body of ore was encountered which had
not been known TO exist before, but
which proved to be the main lode OF the
mine. It was cross-cut clear to the foot
wall, and proved to be 42 feet wide
The character OF the ore WAS mixture
OF quartz and tale, and was what might
be called good picking ground. It~was
30 soft that when the end OF the cut was
reached q cave occurred, and large
body of water was let loose. The flow
was 60 great that the men were driven
cut OF the cnt and shaft, and the water
rose 10 within few feet OF the 300-foot
level.
An attempt was made to pump it ont
with the sinking pump then in use in
the mine, and although about 1000 gal
Ions were taken out every twenty-four
hours, the capacity of the pump, was
found Inadequate to handle the fiow and
the lower levels were allowed to remain
flooded until a new pump could be pro-
cured. A second cross-cut was then be-
gun al the third level 225 feet from the
surface and the ore body was again
found and OF the same width as below
show ing that the chute was uniform and
evidently continued to the surface.
Samples taken from both cuts proved
to be very rich, and although it was i'm
possible to ascertain the exact values OF
special parts Of the ore and its general
value, it was intimated that large part
of it was good shipping ore, the general
average ranging from $l2 to $l5 per ton
gold. A big stationary pump is now on
the ground and it will not be long before
the water win be pumped out and sim
king continued. The vein is almost
perpendicular and it is expected to cut
the great body of ore ut 425 feet. No
drifting has yet been done to find out
the extent of the chute, but now that
the water is able to be handled develop
ment work will 60 on in all directions

pREscoTr. Ariz., Jan. 17--An impor-
tant mining sale, which has been under

ting j. 10 dividend paving point, and
the property fell into the hands oil San
Francisco parties, under the manage
ment OF ". t. Little, who proceeded to
prosecute the development work, until
O sufficient ore body was opened up to
justify the erection of mill. Mr.. Lit
tie built. the mill and has operated it
most oil the time since at the came time
continuing to push development until
the mine has been we'll developed.
The purchase price is not given out
but It is said to be in the neighborhood
of fl0o, 900. f.. A. Powers, a welt known
mining man, who has been operating
near Jerome, will have charge of the
property and went out today to receive
it from Mr.. Little. The deal was pro-
snoted by w. c. Bashford, this being

this month, the other property being

station, of which he has had charge for
several months. The latter property
was purchased by DR.. T. B. Comstock,

Egyptian New Year.

of 365 days. There We're Il months

reckoning was by this year: the festi-
