Shot Down in the Court Room
From the Silver City Independent.

From the Silver City Independent.
 William Park was shot and killed by James A. Wiley at Central, this county, yesterday afternoon.
 The trouble occurred in the back room of the Cleveland saloon, in which Justice of the Peace Joseph Crowley was conducted the preliminary eXamin- ation of woman named May Esmond, who was charged with d serious crime. It was between two and three o'clock and Wiley was the first witness called by the prosecution. He had given damaging testimony, in which was used Parks name. The witness was just concluding, when Parks jumped from his chair, drew his gun and com menced firing at Wiley. Wiley raised from where he was sitting, turned half around, pulling his sixshooter as he did so and returned the fire.
 Several shots were fired by both par ticipants, as well as others in the room, and in all some twelve or fifteen bullets were discharged. One of Wiley's en- tered Parks right side, coming out on the left side, opposite the region of the heart. The wounded man fell to the floor, where he was picked up by friends and made as comfortable as possible. The wound was fatal, how ever, and he expired in about twenty five minutes.
 Wiley and all others in the court room escaped injury
 Wiley and Park were until compara- lively recently partners in the saloon business in the town of Central and were the best of friends. When the talk, out of which arose the trial, com menccd, bad blood was created, and it is claimed that the deceased had threatened to kill Wiley on sight.

 Corbett, Wyman X Brandt are work ing a good force developing the Wy man mine.
 A strike Of high grade galena ore was made last week on the Beck mine, owned by Morris and Beck. Develop mcnt work Is being prosecuted.
 A. Wallis will shortly erect a small concentrating plant in the district for the purpose of treating the concen- trating ore, Of which several good finds have been made.
 Corbett. Wyman X Brandt are work ing force Of forty men on their Gran ite group and making regular ship ments to Fl Paso The ore is lead car bonates, running by the carload from IS to 2j ounces silver and 10 per cent lead This property i5 the most ex- tensively developed in the district and is proving fine paying proposition. Henry Lesdos is the superintendent. The mines are twelve miles south Of Stein's Pass station.
 The new 1O-stamp mill of the Wilson Mining and Milling company has been completed and d test run made last week was most satisfactory. The tive- milo pipe line. however, from the Animas valley, by which water is secured, has been found to be too light for the pressure, and before steady operations can be commenced, it will be necessary to strengthen and perhaps lay new line. In the mean time work has been temporarily sus- pended at both the mine and the mill. The mill has a capacity of twenty five tons daily. Jack Rutherford of the company is in Philadelphia on busi- ness. The plant is located six miles north of Stein's Pass station.

CONSISTING MINING ITEMS.

From the Liberal.
 \. w. Clifford has been spending a week here looking after and putting in place the new hoist on the Dundee mine. With this hoist in place the work on the Dundee can be accom- plished much more economically.
 The shaft on the orphans home is now down thirty feet and contract has been let to sink if fifty feet deeper At the bottom of the shaft there is ex- posed vein of lead ore two and one- half feet wide, which is so high grade that most of it can be shipped as it comes from the shaft.
 J. +. Cook, superintendent of the Aberdeen copper company is shipping a carload of lead ore from the Mala- chite mine to the Fl Paso shelter. The Malachite is one of the finest lead propositions that has ever been opened in the Virginia district. The new con- centrator which has been ordered by
The copper era., 1901-05-30

the A Aberdeen company. will be placed on this property.
 The Aberdeen company has ordered steam hoist and Cameron pump for the Malachite. As soon as these are established and the shaft is unwatered sinking vii! be resumed. As large force of men will be put to work as there is room for. The present indi- cations are that this will prove to be the bonanza mine of the Virginia district.
 Superintendent Jennings now has full force of men at work on the Su- perior. The work consists entirely in development, no ore being stopped. One gang Of men is constantly at work sinking. The next time the Superior commences to stope ore it will have reserves large enough so that develop ment can continue with stoping and the shipping will be continuous.

Grover Cleveland, to stand pat as
good Democrat with an eye single
to the main chance, has pleaded "not
guilty" to the accusation that he
voted for McKinley-but it makes
little difference to Mckinley. A
fellow down in Indiana makes an
announcement along the same line
as that of the ex-president and one
which might be an offset had Gro
yer voted for Bryan, a crime %
of which he could also plead not
guilty. The Indiana man, having
been converted at a protracted meet
ing last week asked the people to
pray that he might be forgiven for
having voted for Bryan.

The value of a recommendation or
a petition is often deprecated by the
fact that many sign such a document
without forethought and their sigma
ture is given simply in compliment.
This is seen in the "call'' for the
Inayorality candidacy of Mr.. Dean in
Minneapolis. A petition was circu-
lated calling upon Mr.. Dean to enter
the race for mayor. This petition
was signed by over 10000 voters; yet
Mr.. Dean received but 5000 votes at
the election on the 9Th, with the pre-
sumption that many voted for him
who had not signed tne.petition. The
friends Of Mr.. Deau assumed that
those who signed the "calp' had
pledged themselves to vote for the
man called, but that many Of them
did not 50 vote, shows that their
signatures to the petition we're given
merely ID compliment,

The Beers are still giving the
English considerable trouble in
South Africa. But this is exactly
what was foreseen, long guerilla
war. The Beers are intensely bit
ter in sentiment against English oc-
cupation. The two races have lit
tie affinity and the Beers have nc
sympathy with the free and easy
methods of modern Anglo-Saxon
civilization, a condition where every
man has just as much right as
another. But if this guerilla war is
hard on the British army it must be
infinitely harder on the Boer resi-
dents of the country.

The Popular Vote.

The total vote cast for president
at the election Nov. 8 was I3,o67,2oS
against I3,9a3,37S in 1896. Of these
Mckinley received in 1896, 7,lo4-
779, and in 1900, 7,2I7,677. Bryan
received 6,5o2,925 four years ago
and 6,35bS5S at the last election.
McKinley's plurality in the last cleo
ton was S59,S24, against 6oS,5I4 in
1896. Both parties lost heavily in
the South this last fall, partly
through the Acknowledgement of the
negroes but largely through apathy.
The Southern States cast a less
number of votes in 1900 by 3o6,94s
than they did in 1896 while the
northern states cast 44l,ooo more
than they did in 1896. The Pro-
hibition vote in 1900 was 2o1IS5; in
1896 it was 1872 900; in 1892 it was
100000 and in 1888 it was I56,335.
Besides the votes cast for McKin-
", Bryan and Woolley for president,
votes were cast in five states for the
candidates of the National Union Re
form party, and IN two states for the
candidates of the United Christian
PARTY.

In the harvesting OF corn-cutting--
many used machines this fall-ma-
chimes that cut and bound the corn.
The work was thus done much more
rapidly than by hand and consequent
ly gave better opportunity for saving
the fodder-cutting corn when the
stalks are green, binding and shock
ing it for proper curing. BY saving
the corn fodder not so much hay is re-
quired. Machines are also used for
husking the corn after the fodder fl
dry. The same machine that husks
the corn "shreds," or Sits the stalks
and leaves into thin strips and stacks
it. An immense amount OF work
can be accomplished Ia agriculture in
these days by the use Of machinery.
One man with the machinery now In
vogue can accomplish more than a
hundred could when they used wooden
plows, sowed grain by hand, dragged
it with bush, cut il with a crooked
knife-a sickle-and thrashed 1t out
with a stick.
