LIQUOR STOLEN IN BARRE.

Barre, June S.-The office of the Central
Vermont freight depot was entered Friday
night between midnight and daylight by
burglars who secured large quantity of
liquor which was in storage, but did not
modest anything else. Entrance was made
through a rear window. A hole was cut
in the glass large enough for hand to be
inserted and the fastener was removed
Access was then easy. The burglars did
not remove anything from the office but
vent directly to the cold storage apart
ment. They removed the hinges of the
door and took from the refrigerator three
barrels Of bottled beer, six one-half bar
rels of beer, three boxes of whislSey and 60
quarts Of beer from the barrel. They
then loaded the stuff into a wagon and
carted 1t away and no trace of 1t has been
discovered The tracks OF the wagon are
plainly seen. 1t is supposed the burglary
was committed by several persons and it
Is certain that it was done by persons well
acquainted with the premises.

Stevens group belonged to Ike and Charley Stevens and sister. They
 have held the property for twenty years and besides the annual assess ments, a large amount of ofdevelopment work has been done. The sale called for good cash payment, but the own CTS were glad to receive considerable stock in the company-Morenc Standard.
 In the sos, when w. A. Clark, now United States senator from Montana, had under consideration the purchase of the United Verde, heretofore con- trolled by ex. Governor Tritle, of this territory, he had Joe Giroux go and examine the property, Giroux reported favorably. Clark took it, and made Giroux superintendent. Giroux is still next to the senator, as he is interested with the millionaire in Sonora and Nevada. He had occasion to go through to Sonora last week, and was obliged to stop in Tucson several hours going and oming. Speaking Of the Nevada proposition, Giroux, tap ping the newspaper man on the shoul. der, said: "Think of it ! We have a vein 400 feet wide on our Nevada property, and you know that is good for many years to come." Asked about the United Verde, Giroux said they were employing l,500 men, and three new furnaces were being in- stalled, all larger than anything put up heretofore. Star.
 Editor Sayre, of the Mother Lode Magnet, published at Jamestown, Cal, says Tombstone, Ariz., was great mining town in the early sos and had a population of 5000 or 10000 people. Well, Tombstone is again coming to the front. E B Gage has org mixed company which controls the principal producing mines of the camp, a big pumping plant Is to be set up at the combination shaft and sinking is to be resumed below water level. Tomb stone may, like Bodie, in 1878, again become bustling mining city, and the mad scenes of the old days when the Earp brothers and Doc Holiday on one side and the 'rustlers' on the other caused blood to flow down it's broad streets like water in the tanks of Mexican hacienda, be revived again. To the writer Tombstone IS a pleasant memory, and we wish the old camp and its citizens of today good luck, and 'hope to see it one of the large towns of the State of Arizona, for congress can't much longer postpone granting statehood to this vigorous southwest territory"

SQUAW PEAK DISTRICT.
4 Rich Mining Field South of Jerome A Dis.
 tret Almost Unknown.

One of the districts in Yavapai coun- ty which draws it's supplies from Je- rome, and of which very little is heard, is the Squaw Peak country. Situated, in an air line, about twenty miles south of Jerome, it is virtually the tail end of the Black Hills and ends up the wonderful mineral belt of which the United Verde is the standard bearer.
 Unlike the balance of the Black Hills, this is not copper country, al- though most of the ores found there carry certain percentage of the red metal. It is gold and lead country, and if properly developed could prob ably produce more lead than all the rest of the county put together.
 How this section has been overlooked for so long time by the searchers for good properties who have been over. running Arizona for the past two years it is hard to understand.
 The ores in the Squaw Peak district, in the mines already opened up, have an average value ofabout si0 per ton gold, silver and lead, but the long haul to the railroad has been prohibitOry to the shipping. The veins are all Of good size, varying from to 16 feet in width, and as rule the ore carries from 20 to 30 per cent. lead, and from si5 to $20 in gold and silver. It is known that that rare mineral moly bde- mum has been found there in consider able quantity, and also one or two strong copper leads have been partially opened up.
 The deepest workings in the district are less than l30 feet deep, the major. ity being shallow shafts from which ores are being taken and worked in arastras.
 When some man with capital takes hold of the mines in the Squaw Peak district, it will not take long to bring it to the front.-Jerome Mining News.

Part of the ore from that district is now being sent to the Fl Paso smelter, and the shipments will be increased as soon as the smelter opens up.

Words fail to express the horror
that right thinking people feel
over such occurrences as one re-
ported in the Eagle and other
daily papers yesterday, coming
from Austin. A little l4-year-old
boy. suspected of burglary, was
arrested several months ago and
confined in the county Jail await
ing investigation by the grand
jury. The little fellow protested
innocence with all his might and
begged not to be jailed. Put into
cell all alone, he screamed with
fright, and for day or so his suf-
ferIng was intense, but after that
he grew quiet and morose. No
one knew or cared why, but the
truth now comes to light that his
reason was dethroned and he has
now gone to the insane asylum.
He was the child Of a widow and
il is easy to conceive that the harsh
treatment was meted out TO him
because he had no influential
friends or protectors. The out
rage grows worse in the light of
the fact that the grand jury, upon
investigation. failed to find suflic.
lent evidence to Justify finding 3
bill. That such a piece Of inhu.
manity could occur in 'free Amer.
