POLICE COURT DOINGS.
Interpreter Needed in City Court Very
 Frequently Nowadays.

6fequently FNoWadayS.
 Cases in which parties interested are non- English speaking have become a terror to the city court. Cases of this character have occupied the greater part of the courts time for the past month. To-day Prosecutor Durant an- nounced that he had an Italian case ill which an interpreter would have to be used and as there was prospect of settling it without trial he would con tinue it to tomorrow morning rather than go through the bother of hear ing The case was against Michael Riccardi for breach of the peace.
 James Killoughey and his neighbor, James Claffey, got into a fuss yester- day and Killoughey punched Claffey leaving marks of the assault on his face. He was fined $10 and costs.
 Patrick Boyle said he was given a bag of cold chisels by his friend OBrien as they were too heavy to take along with him to California. But August Fiege said Boyle stole them and the court believed him and fined Boyle $7 and costs.

 ton in Minneapolis.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Esinn., July 9.-~ Minneapolis has within her gates 15,- 900 or more delegates to the National Educational association convention. Some of the largest delegations are yet due, and the total will reach close to if it does not exceed the 10000 mark when the delegates are all in. The meetings yesterday were confined to the national council, the Indian de- partment and the general sessions Today the real work in detail will commence.
 The speakers at the different meet ings of the convention are all men of widespread reputation. Men of letters. men of educational note, politicians, inventors, publishers, representatives of the church and the state and na- tional government will have places on the programmes.
 The cities in the race for the next convention so far are Boston. Port land, Me; the north Pacific coast cit ies. which are working together, and Niagara Falls, N. Y,
 Yesterday afternoon Governor s. R. Van Sant on behalf of the state we'll comed the association. J. w. Olsen, state superintendent of public instruc-l ton, delivered an address on behalf Of the educational branch of the state government, and Acting Mayor D. F. Jones welcomed the visitors to the city.
 Superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools Charles M. Jordan spoke of the system of public educas tion conducted by the state and city.
 Dr. Cyrus Northrop, president of the, State university, made welcoming address which by a happy mingling of wit and eloquence held closely the at tention of the 5000 educators who made up the audience, and when he finished the applause was deafening.
 Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi- dent of Columbia university, spoke on Some Problems for. nearly an hour. His address was pronounced model of oratory. He spoke of the profession' of teaching in general, and his speech was really the address that marked the regular opening of the conyentionl proper and the beginning of the work in earnest.
 pr. D. A. Alderman, president of Tu> lane university, New Orleans, also spoke at length to the convention, and his words were apparently scarcelyI less appreciated than those of the oral tor-president of Columbia.

COL BURPEEs APPLICATION.
Wants an Accounting on Plant Estate

Case Will Be Heard To-Morrow.
 There will be hearing ill the New Haven probate court tomorrow upon the application of Colonel Burpee to have an accounting from MeSsrS Har- rison and Erwin who resigned as ad- ninistrators of the Plant estate. They will be called upon to show the why and the wherefore of their actions in having certain portions of the estate removed from the jurisdiction of the courts of Connecticut. Their resigna- tion was caused, it is said, by fear of involving themselves in trouble with their fellow administrator, George Til ley, Mrs Plant and her son Merton Plant. These, it is claimed, got judg- ment ill an inferior court in New York state and Messrs Harrison and Erwin claim that Mir Tilley should have taken the matter upon an appeal to the higher court because the judgment gave into Mrs Plants custody a large portion of the estate which she destin- ed for ecclesiastical purposes, to wit, the erection of a monastery for a re- ligious order. It is now claimed that she has already donated this piece of property for the purpose alleged.
 ,Messrs Harrison and Erwin fearing that MT Tilley as administrator had or was likely to involve himself in trou- ble on account of his lack of action re- garding the New York courts judg- ment, resigned preferring to have no more to do with the estate whenas they claim they found it disappearing from under their hands. Colonel Burpees s application is one of the most sensa- tional that has been filed in the court of New Haven county.

MINES AND MINING.
THE CLIFTON CENTRAL MINING AND
MILLING COMPANY

THE CLIFTON CENTRAL MINING AMI
MILLING Company
VIII be incorporated in few days
under the laws of Utah, for the pur-
pose Of taking over the Midnight group
OF claims. in the Greenlee Gold Noun
tain Mining district. The group con-
sists Of three claims and millsite,
situated a mile and a quarter from
Clifton on the left side OF the river,
the main works OF which can easily be
seen from town. The company will be
capitalized at 500. GOO with shares at
81 90 each, full paid and worcestershire.
For the purpose OF further development
and for the erection of milling plant
80, 600 shares have been set aside as
treasury stock and will be sold at low
figure, considering the development
work, and the large amount ofsore on
the damp and in sight in the mine.
The "Midnight," upon which the
principal development work has been
done, is patented property, and was
we'll known as producer of high
grade silver-lead ores many years ago.
About four years ago Anwcu Lafave
spent some two months prospecting
the property, and by careful panning
discovered gold values, which in the
early history of the property was
not known to exist. This dis
covery led 10 the purchase OF the
property about two years ago by An
well Lafavc and Henry Fl. Rea, OF Salt
Lake City, Utah. Mr.. Lafave made a
shipment Of assorted ore which aver
aged 40 per cent. Lead, SO gold, u OF.
silver and 20 per cent. iron, an ideal
ore. Another shipment
made by Mr.. Lafave returned 45 per
cent. lead, S32 gold, 20 ounces silver
and 20 per cent. iron. Before the
property was secured by Lafave, Rea
and Mr.. Townsend, who had the prop
erty under lease, made car load ship
ments to the Billings smelter which
returned 30 per cent. lead, $50 in gold,
and between $40 and $50 in silver per
ton. The ore is lead carbonates carry
ing gold and silver. 1t is a milling
and concentrating proposition, concen-
trating about ten tons into one, but
could be smelted by being handled
carefully. In tunnels and cross-cuts
there have been go feet OF work done,
which uncovered a body of ore 30 fl.
thick, 30 feet wide and $50 feet in
length, showing 2000 tons of solid ore
Of high grade, the balance being
broken up but will average about $40
gold Is ounces silver, and 10 per cont.
lead. There is now over 5000 tons Of
ore blocked out in the
mine. The following assays were

parts of the property, and show what |
may be expected from the high grade

A Bear Hunt.

Gid Thompson, Henry Walter and
Mr.. Meacham OF Morenci, started out
last week on bear hunt. At Coal
creek, near the Big Lou ranch, they
were joined by John and Henry
Crane, Tom Stockton, Billy Tucker,
Grover Galloway and VIII Wilton, who
reside in that section and furnished
nineteen dogs for the hunt, including
the celebrated bear dog, Rock, owned
By Grain brothers. The Morenci party
left home Thursday, reached the rem
devious that night, hunted on Friday
and returned Saturday. The hunt was
started just at the peep Of day Friday
morning which was a most unlucky
day-fOr the bear. In an incredi Bile
short time old Rock struck a hot trail
and inside OF an hour piloted the party
onto q bunch OF six bears, Of the silver
tip variety. There were four old ones
in the bunch and two cubs. The bears
were rounded up by the dogs In a bunch
OF willows in the bottom OF a deep can
yon, which made IL hard and danger
GUS TO get at them, but the dogs knew
their business. BY ii tacit understand
ing among the boys who reside in that
section, all of whom have killed many
b .ars in their time, the Morenci boys
were thrown to the front and given a
free hand to Kill and destroy TO their
hearts content. The fight lasted near
Is an hour, but the four old bears were
killed and the two cubs captured with
out being hurt. All three Of the Mo-
reuci boys had some pretty close calls.
OGe Of them left the sleeve OF his coat
in the teeth OF bear. and another one
received a slap from the paw OF a bruin
that knocked him at least ten feet, but
fortunately he lit on some willows, and
then fell into the water ard was not
hurt. The other Morenci boy met
with no accident or disaster, but one
OF the bears dropped dead at his feet,
after having been shot more than a
dozen times. Gid Thompson brought
one or the cubs back with him. and the
other one was retained by the Crane
brothers. The boys consider that they
had pretty fair success, considering
that they were gone bat three days.
Naturally they feel that they were
royalty entertained by their cow boy
friends, and promise that when they
come TO NewtOwn they will be shown
the Morenci tiger, in all his glory.

The company have good site for Il
mill at the mine, which could DO
reached by pipe limo 1000 feet in
length from the river, requiring a lift
for the water of only abOu: 800 feet.
However, a good road can be built
from the mine to the millsite near the
river, and the ore brought down at a
nominal cost. Both MessrS. Rea and
Lafavc will remain with the new com
pany, and it Is their intention to have
the plant in operation by fall. Mr..
Rca is an old-time mining man of Salt
Lake City, who has had much exper-
fence in mining in Utah, and other

in which he has not had experience.
He is a worker. During the past two
years he did $50 feet of development
work on the Midnight, record per-
haps not equalled by any other indi-
vidual in the west. Mr.. Lafave's many
friends in this section will be glad to
know that his efforts have met with
success, and that his property will
soon be among the producers of the

work are reticient about giving out
any definite Information, but it is re-

der the hill, from the bottom of 100
foot shaft body of high grade copper
was encountered, which by assay, run
l9 aud 30 per cent. The face OF the
Drift is all in ore and it has been pros
pected six feet below the drift. Ifsuch
strike has been really made at this
depth it will mean a great deal not
only for the owners OF the mine, but
also to this valley anu its agricultural
industry. a body of such ore would
mean reduction works at no distant
day and hundreds OF miners at work.
