Deputy Sheriff Skips.

Lee Hobbs. for several months depu- ty sheriff for the Clifton country, took his departure for parts unknown sever- al days ago and has not yet returned. Mr. Hobbs made his departure some- what mysterious. He confided to a friend that he was going away and asked that the matter be kept secret for three days. At the end of that time the matter was reported to Sheriff Park, and the conclusion was reached that Hobbs had gone for good.
 investigation revealed the fact that he WAS in default in the matter of fees to the amount of about $l,0O0. The sheriff will make the amount good.
 The Clifton deputyship is quite an important office and considerable amount of money is handled during the year. Sheriff Parks has appointed John Parks to fill the vacancy, and he went to Clifton Sunday to take up his ties.-Bulletin.

Moreno, Pos.offioe Robbed.

Sometime during last Thursday night burglars forced their way into the MOrenci postoffice and made good haul of cash and stamps and other val uables.
 The safe was opened apparently with out much difficulty by the use of a sledge hammer and pinch-bar. Cash to the amount of $500 was taken: also about $400 worth of stamps and the registered mail.
 The postoffice is located in small frame building along the bluff between the company store and the shelter. It is off the beat of the night watchnan and the thieves evidently made a leis- urely job of it. The officers were un- able to find the slightest clue upon which to work. A postoffice inspector arrived Saturday to assist the local officers. Bulletin.

IT IS ALL OFF.
The Commission of Ben F. Daniels Has
 Been Recalled.

The Phoenix Republican Tuesday says: Benjamin F. Daniels will not be the United States marshal for Arizona. That fact was made known in Phoenix yesterday by the receipt of Il telegram from Washington recalling his com mission. The commission was mailed to Chief Justice Street, who received it on his return from Washington last Saturday. It was sent back to Wash ington yesterday. Information was also received in Phoenix yesterday that PresidenJ Roosevelt had offered the marshalship to member of his regiment who is now in Hawaii. His name was not given.
 According to private message re- ceived here the day before yesterday, it was understood that Daniels would not enter upon the duties of the mar shal's office, so that the news of the re- call of his commission was not surpris. ing.
 It was supposed that in the event of Daniels removal Col. NJ. H. McCord would be appointed, since it was under stood that the appointment of Daniels was purely personal one, and that when he was no longer in the field there would be no reason why Colonel Me Cord should not remain.
 Daniels present whereabouts is a mystery. His trunk came here the middle of last week, and his friends in Tucson and Nogales must have had in- formation that he would be here about the same time himself, for on the day before telegraphic inquiries were re- ceived from them to know if he had arrived yet. At the time he left Wash ington the charge that proved his un- doing had not yet been made, nor had he heard of it when he was at Kansas City ten days ago.
 A change cannot be made in the mar shal's office for month at least. It is understood that a letter has been writ ten to lhe Rough Rider al Hawaii ask ing if he will accept the place. It will take the greater part of u month for the repl, 10 reach Washington. In the event of his acceptance there would be some time consumed in the making of the appointment and in its confirmation by the senate.

MICHAEL CASEY HURT
AT THE BESS MINE.

Michael Casey, an employe at
the Bess mine, was severely njured
Saturday night, large rock fall
ing sixty feet and landing on the
back of his head.
Mr.. Casey had loaded q bucket
and sent it up, and was leaning o.
yer preparing to load another,
when a rock weighing about five
pounds fell from the bucket as it
was being landed The windlass
man shouted to Casey, but the
rock got to the bottom first, hitting
Mr. Casey with fearful force, cut
ting a large hole in the back of his
skull. Dir. Fleming was immedi-
ately sent for and brought the IN
jured man into town Sunday, aft
er dressing his wounds. At pres
ent writing, he is practically out OF
danger, but will not be able to
work for several weeks. Those
present say the accident was due to
the bucket being overloaded.

NEW MINING LAWS
BADLY NEEDED.

The next legislature should by
all means pass a law providing for
a mine inspector and requiring
hosting engineers to pass an exam
ination. As it now is, almost any
one can secure . situation on q
hoist, where the lives Of many men
are at their mercy In many cases
the engineers are utterly imcompe-
tent, when anything out Of the us
ual run occurs and the lives Of the
miners are always endangered and
often lost.
A reasonable law covering these
points would soon raise the stand
ard Of the engineers and good men
would then come in, because they
would then be more certain of work
and salary commensurate with
their skill and experience.

PROMINENT RESIDENTS
OBJECT TO BURROS.

Frequent complaints have come
to this office of late, regarding the
numerous burros which are run
ming at large in the streets and
vacant lots, making themselves
disagreeable in ways unnecessary
to mention Wickenburg is now
large enough so that this nuisance
can, and ought to be, stopped. AS
far as we know, there is no law by
which the burros can be kept out
of town as burros are too cheap to
admit of the estray law being eff
ective.
Last Tuesday evening, a Boston
mining man having property up
the river, returned to town late in
the evening and rolling up in his
blankets, turned in outside, on ac-
count of the heat, leaving his en-
tire wardrobe on the ground beside
him. On waking in the morning
his entire apparel consisted of one
dilapidated pants leg and two sus-
pender buckles, the remainder, i'll

the clothes untouched evidently
felt elated, as he came down in
close proximity to the doctors cot

the immediate neighborhood were
startled almost as much as the
doctor and tore large holes in the

THIS DISTRICT
IN NEED OF
Experienced Mining Men With
Acquaintance and Confidence
of Eastern Capitalists.
Money and Brains
Can Make Money.

While Wickenburg has made
rapid advances during the past
year, there is yet a great deal lack
ing to make the town the centre of
a great mineral producing region.
1t is we'll known that Wicken-
burg is in the centre 1f a region
famous over the world as being
everywhere richly mineralized on
the surface and abounding in min
eral wherever depth has Leen at
tanned, but all the mineral in the
world cannot make one rod of tel
egraph wire or one five dollar gold
piece until it is taken out of the
ground and we may be starving to
death with millions under our feet.
Sad, isn't it, but in a measure true.
What this district needs today,
and needs badly, is capital to de-
velop the many prospects already
partially developed but not pro
ducing, except in a limited way.
Nowhere in the southwest can or
is there found such opportunities
as exist today in this district for
experienced mining men, those
who know indications of a mine
when they see them and have the
acquaintance and confidence of
capitalists and investors looking
for mertorious properties to devel-
op.
There are many valuable pros
poets around Wickenburg, and
others which will prove to be with
Out merit, but the experienced min
ing man should be able to Judge
the prospective value and deter
mine which ones, in his estimat-
ion, will warrant extensive devel-
opment work being done, with the
probabilities in favor Of mine
being opened up Men who can
do this and who are acquainted
with and have the confidence Of
men and companies having money
to invest in mining property, can
and should do well here. Those
who get here first will find the
greatest opportunities and make
the most money.

A printing office is usually con-
sidered rather tough place and
the newspaper worker a mighty
bad man. Statistics, however, do
rot bear out the idea. OF 1890 in
the Texas penitentiary, there is not
a printer or newspaper man, while
there are ministers, lawyers, music
teachers, doctors, bankers, cooks,
photographers, barkeepers, BARRIERS
and members of other professions
and callings. The printer gets a
bad name because the nature Of
his business teaches him to detect
shams while he scorns hypocrites.

RICH STRIKE
OF JOHNSONS.
Gold -Specked Ore Found In
Large Quantities On The
Surface East Of Town.
Sl80.5O Is Horned
From 0OLbs. OF Ore.

Definite news of Berger Johnsons
rich strike fifteen miles east of here
and thirteen miles northeast Of
Norsistown, has been received at
the News Herald office from one
who visited the property last week,
and samples of the ore brought 70
this office make a poor newspaper
man feel like dropping everything
and going and doing likewise-if
possible.
Our informant states that Mr..
Johnson has four claims, located
this year, lying about one mile
south Of the Trilby mine and one
half mile from the Independence
group, belonging to Ben Swininger.
Mr.. Johnson did the title work on
the different claims, disclosing a
well-defned ledge about three feet
wide, carrying very good values.
Since completing the title work,
Mr.. Johnson has been prospecting
about the claims, and several weeks
ago knocked off piece of the ledge
cropping and found it to be very
freely specked with coarse gold.
He immediatel y went to work tax
ing out the ore and sacking it and
after taking out number Of sacks,
started hOrning out the yellow
metal in Il horn spoon, first grind
ing up the ore in q stone metate-
Out Of the first 60 ponnds Of ore,
Mr.. Johnson horned $18650, re-
cieving that amount from q Phoe-
niq bank for his product This is
at the rate OF over $4,000 ton.
Mr.. Johnson now has a four foot
hole at the place of discovery and
we are told that a streak of the
rich ore nearly a foot wide is now
showing in the hole, though nc
work is being done at present, the
owner being busily engaged in
horning what ore he has already
taken out.
Mr., Johnson was so fearful OF
his discovery and that it might on
ly be a pocket, that he did not
make it public until after he had
taken out and hidden number OF
sacks of ore and yet had more in
sight. At his cabin Mr.. Johnson
has two large pieces OF the ore
weighing about one hundred pounds
apiece and literally specked with
gold, and not in small pieces eth
er. Our informant states that Mr.
Johnson still goes on horning out
gold and making big wages.
Advices from MorristoWn state
that a local mining man has taken
thirty day option on the proper
ty and is now in the East ntgotiat-
ing sale.
