AN ARIZONA GOLD STRIKE.
A United States Army officer the
Owner of N Rich Mine.

PHOENIX Ariz, May Son a mining
claim owned by Lieutenant Colonel Dravo
L. S. A, near old Fort Mcdonald. north
east of Phoenix. has been uncovered a
ledge OF gold rock. which promises to de-
velop richly. The ore, it is asserted, as
says from so to 500 per ton. The ledge
is close to Gold Hill. where a big gold
find was made twenty-five years ago.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars in gold
were taken .o,it of shallow shafts there,
but Notwithstanding the proximity of the
military post. the Apaches were a con-
stant menace to the miners. So persist
ent were the Indians that the miners fin
ally abandoned the workings, and even
when the Apaches were finally and thor
oughly pacified the old diggings were not
opened. Colonel bravo. who was station
ed at the pos' until the troops We're re-
moved, located number of claims, but he
is believed to be the only man who took
that precaution. Prospectors are now
rapidly taking up She old claims.
The last ten days have seen more ex-
citement in mining circles in central Ari-
zon& than ever before has been known.
1t is conservativeIy estimated that not
less than s10.000,0O0 has been invested in
gold and copper properties in that time.
The sales of the Congress gold mine for
s5,0OO,000, and the McCabe mine at $780,
600 have been the largest deals. but there
have been hundreds of small sales of
properties not so fully developed, but
which capital will doubtless evolve into
bonanzas. Most of the capital has come
from New York and Chicago. The new
territory extends from what is known as
the Cave Greek country, thirty miles
north of Phoenix. and reaches for nifty
miles north and half as far east and west.
Populous mining camps are springing up
in all parts of this district. Machinery

FELL FROM A TRAIN.
Young Man Attempts to Jump
From n southern Express.

A young man named Davis, who is said
to live in Alexandria, was taken to the
Emergency Hospital last night from the
north end of the Long Bridge suffering
from severe injuries sustained while try
ing to jump from train of the Southern
Railway. His head is badly cut and the
patient is suffering from shock caused by
his fall
The accident took place shortly after 8
o'clock as the through train from the
South entered the city. Davis is said to
have planned to jump OFF the train before
it reached the depot because business
called for his presence IN another part of
the city. He started to jump from the
train as it struck the sharp curve into
Maryland Avenue southwest and was
thrown violently to the ground A num-
ber of people saw the accident and went
to the assistance of the injured man. A
call was sent for the ambulance and Da-
Wis was taken TO the Emergency Hospital
in haste.
AT the hospital the man gave his name
as Davis, but owing to his condition was
unable TO give his address or that of rel
atives. One of the crew of the train from
which he Ieaped told the police Davis
lives in Alexandria. Nothing was found
on his person to fully identify him.

on a hurry call. The doctor went to pick
two or three pistol balls out of a negro,
who had killed another the previous eve

an inquest. The murderer was alive when
The messenger left the camp. The sheriff
went to arrest and bring in the last of the
shooters.
1t seems that two men fell out over the
affections of a dusky damsel at the camp,
and one killed the other. A third negro,
who claimed to be a partner to the dead
man, hunted up his slayer and proceeded
to puncture him with several shots from
his pistol. He then made his escape
supposing he had killed his man.
