The Court was Loaded.

Joe Bush and l.. P. Peak were ad judged guilty yesterday, by jury, of using loaded dice inacrap game. Sams ples of the loaded cubes were intro duced in evidence and the judge or dered Chief of Police Prince to break one of them open. At this Peak jumped up and interposed an obiec- ton but it was promptly overruled and with hammer Prince broke the dice. A chunk of lead was found in one side and a piece of cork in the opposite side, the manufacture of it being very ingenious and they were so arranged that winning numbers would come on top every time. The trouble of it was that it was too sure "sure thing" as a few throws soon convince the manager of the game where they played that he was being film fiammed and he not only stopped their playing but secured their arrest. They had won less than 5000 when barred from the game. Peak, who is quite a youth, but who it is alleged was the senior partner of the firm, being the owner of the dice, was given an opportunity to get out of town but through mistaken advice, it is said, was persuaded to fight the case, as it was thought a jury would acquit them. In this they were mistaken, however. The case was tried before Justice Cornell, who passed sentence this morning.
 After duly considering the matter over night Justice Cornell concluded that sojourn in jail of sixty days would be the proper thing for Bush, and let Peak of with a forty days sentence.
 From the above it will be seen that the court was loaded too.

Afternoon of Hearts.

Mrs. F. L. Wright entertained a large number of ladies at her resi- dence in East Prescott on Saturday afternoon. The ladies did not need to be informed on their arrival of the form the entertainment was to take, as the original and unique decorations of the rooms furnished the sugges- tion. Big hearts and little hearts, cut from card board, ornamented the room, being arranged inartistic group ings on all sides.
 As indicated by these decorations, the game of progressive hearts was the one selected for theafternoon's en- tertainment.
 During the progress of the games, the players were refreshed with most delicious fruit punch, and at the con clusion of series of very interesting games, each guest was presented by a young lady with some carnations and roses as souvenir of the event, after which refreshments were served. while Miss Bailey, presiding at the piano, furnished delightful music for their enjoyment.
 The first prize for the greatest num- Der of progressions was won by Mrs. J.L. B. Alexander of Phenix, and the second prize was won by Mrs. H. P Anewalt, and the consolation by Mrs | T. c, Job

McCARTHY'S DEATH.
More Particulars Concerning the Find ing of His Body.-head Severed
 From Body.

The Flagstaff Gem gives the fol- lowing additional particulars in re- gard to the finding of the body of the late John Mccarthy:
 Last Monday, the 18th, T. NJ. Bower was left to watch camp, and Mir. Day, Julius Gowett and William Sims left camp to continue the search. When about seven miles from camp the party was going down a box canyon, near Miller's canyon, and dis covered the mangled remains of John Mccarthy. The head had been de- tached and was lying with the face down, and about three rods away from the body-supposed to have been washed there by the water.
 The circumstances and conditions led the searchers to the following con clusion: That McCarty had killed a bear. as a bear skin was found wrap ped up in his coat, and it is believed he was on his way to camp when he encountered the second bear and the fight to the death occurred. It is

WORLDS GREATEST MINE.
Two and a Half Billion Dollars Already
 Marked Out.

Henry Flintham, of Boston, is quoted by the Engineering Review as follows, regarding Senator Clark's great mine:
 ''The United Verde has discounted all my previous ideas of a mine, and when I went through that property and heard Mr. Giroux explain its con- ditions, felt that the best mining men in the world could learn some thing from the United Verde.
 Il was told, though not by Mir. Giroux, that fifteen years ago the mine went begging for S30,0O0 and that Senator Clark bought it because he thought he could make mine of it. Today it is the estimate of the best engineers in the country that it is not only the greatest mine in the United States, but that the next ten greatest mines in the country would represent but a small fraction of its probable value. The price of the principal metal copper may be re- duced one half, but st.ll it would be a great mine, as about one half of the value of the ore is in gold and silver. and as it carries S75 per ton in all the values, the loss of one fourth would still permit the mining of ore at a profit that most men would regard as magnificent.
 ''The mine as far as it has been de- veloped, including the explorations of diamond drill below the present workings, show an immense ore chim- ney 400x600 feet across that has been explored by shafts, tunnels, and drill holes to depth of HOO feet.
 ''How far it will be possible to work the mine before reaching the heat limit it would be impossible to say, but a reasonable estimate is 5000 feet, but without trespassing on the | future, proved ore bodies contain val ues that almost stagger belief. The mine to depth of HOO feet, contains 336, 100000 cubic feet of ore, and esti- mating eleven cubic feet to the ton, which is a liberal allowance, there are 23,O00,000 tons practically in sight, which at S75 per ton, which'I am as- sured is the average value of the ore, represents more than S2,500OOOOOO, with more than half of the available ore body yet untouched.
 These are not fancy figures, but represent the actual production of the property and can be verified at any time. It has frequently been assert ed of late years that Senator Clark has refused S50,OOOOOO for the prop- erty. Of this l have no knowledge but I know how engineers are treated who come to look at the property They are given carte blanche to take measurements and samples and ex anime the books, and when they get through they are ready to make a re. port to their principals which effectu ally disposes of their hopes of ever becoming the owners of the Uuited Verde. ."-E Engineering Review.

supposed that he shot at the second bear, failing to kill it, and that his gun exploded, as it was found laying by his side, the barrel burst about two feet fro:n the breech. Both of his legs were broken below the knees, and his clothes were torn in shreds, which, the searchers believed, were indications of terrible struggle be- tween an enraged bear and an un- armed and defenseless human being.

4 Birth Day Party.

Miss Edith Armitage, daughter of MT. and Mrs. H. E. Armitage, cele- brated her thirteenth birthday on Saturday. She had the assistance of about thirty or forty of her girl and boy friends in the celebration and in order to obtain the most possible en- joyment for herself and guests from the affair she secured Dougherty hall and the afternoon was devoted to dancing. Mrs. B. H. Smith furnished the music for them. The dance pro grammes were unique affairs, con taining picture of little girl, while printed in the corner was the birth place and date of birth of the hostess of the afternoon. Mrs. Armitage, mother of the hostess and Mrs. NJ. E.. Spaulding assisted her in the enter tainment and the little folks had a most enjoyable afternoon, the closing number on the programme being re- treatments which were of such na- ture as to exactly fit the taste of the youthful assemblage. The little folks left with a feeling that they would like Miss Edith to have a birth day two or three times in year, and that they would be invited to assist her in its celebration.

The manufactures Of Italy have a
wide range, varying from pastes and

Electricity is used in -four mills, and

the tanneries and tobacco factories,
hydraulic power as we'll as steam is
largely utilized, as it is all over this
country. At Loreto an establishment

$50 days year. The annual production
amounts to $4,000 dozen rosaries,

three establishments for the manufact-

He Shocked Many Cats.

E. H. Clayton, Philadelphia COM
mission merchant, had been so much
annoyed by stray cats that he put, not
long ago, an electric battery in his
kitchen, and ran a wire along the top
Of his back fence. He also placed
hinged board upon his gate, SO that
when cat stepped on the board bcll
would ring. and the current could be
turned upon the wire. This scheme
worked admirably. The bell was con-
stantly ringing, the current was con-
stantly being turned on, and cats on
Mr.. Clayton's back fence were con-
stantly letting out terrible bowls and
throwing somersaults in the air.
The neighbors learned of the wire
strung fence, and gathered in hordes,
whenever they could get off from their
work, to see the fun. But the cats
soon boycotted the fence.

translated by James Mortimer, who
says: ''The book is written with
great feeling and it will surprise me if
Dreyfus' sufferings do not constitute
one Of the most poignant narratives in
any human language. The book also
has been written with absolute can
dor. No less noteworthy is Dreyfus'
restraint in dealing with those respon-
sible for his inhuman treatment. One
Of the most touching passages is where,
after an interview with his wife at

informed that he is about to start for
an unknown destination without even
taking leave Of his family"
