The Pavo Rico,

News from the Pavo Rico belon ging to the Atlas people is very gratifying to those most interested. The Pavo Rico is little but hot Since last men, toned in the Review. the boys have run B foot cut, and have 237 sacks of rich silver ore on the dump AttoT- ney Beumler and Mir Hess of Douglas are responsible for this statement. and they are gentlemen to whom the sci ence of prevarication is a profound mystery
 The boys are shipping to Fl -Paso and notwithstanding the cord wood quotations on silver. are realizing suf- ficient receipts to defray the expense of development operations. The At las Exploration and Mining company have an office in Douglas that would be a credit to any city and to any com binetion of mining men on the coast Their collection and exhibits. how ever, include too many bugs and snakes for the nerves of a man just from Naco.
 Bob SpauIding rolled off the train at Glance with a bunch of drills and went over to the Big Four. He came cn as we returned and says the boys are blazing away at their assessment work. The owners of the Big Four do not claim the biggest thing on earth. but are thoroughly pleased with the out look and are not itching to sell or bond their belongings.

Sunday. So far no trace of the thieves
has been found.
Lord and Lady Carnarvon left the
Hotel Ritz on Sunday morning and pro-
ceeded to the Gardu Nord. The lady's
jewels were in a small green tray
packed in dress basket, which was
strapped and locked With her luggage
it was duly registered and handed over
to the railway authorities. The earl
and countess arrived at the station at
about O'clock in the evening thence
drove to their home. 1t was noticed
after the baggage had been taken in
doors that the dress basket was unlock
ed. 1t was opened and the jewelry
sought for. but the thieves had cleaned
it out, replacing the tray and closing
the dressing case. Altho the robber
had time to do all this he does not seem
to have taken the trouble to rummage
further into the basket, for some other
jewels which had been packed at the
bottom were undisturbed. The articles
stolen consisted of twelve rings, eight
gold bangles, ten brooches, two lady's
watches, several charms and other
trinkets which were all set with dia-
monds and other precious stones.

ISLAND or MARGARITA.

Chicago, Dec 24.-WiIliam E. Curtis
in Washington special to the Record
Herald says: There is no foundation
for the published stories that the
United States government is taking adj
vantage of the situation to secure pos
session of the island Of Margarita from
Venezuela. Nevertheless the naval ex-
perts are yearning for 1t, and the wish
is father to the talk. The island lies
almost directly north of the mouth of
the Orinoco river, and was one Of the
first landing places OF Columbus on his
third voyage. 1t was there that he
found pearls. The oyster bearing pearls
have been almost exterminated, how
ever, and the pearl fisheries are only
incidental to other occupations among
the natives 1t is the island which the
Germans have been suspected of want
ing, and it is true that German ship
made careful survey of the coast two
or three years ago, which excited sus-
picion that the kaiser intended to seize
Margarita in violation of the Monroe
doctrine. Our navy made similar
survey, and the officers reported that !
while the harbor furnished good an
chorage, it was not first class. Never
theless they recommended most earn
estly that the permission be obtained
from Venezuela to establish naval
station there because it commands the
north coast of South America mors

LETS JUDGE OUT OF JAIL.
Missouri Official Will Return to Prison
After Christmas.

Kansas City, Dec. 24.-Judge Thomas
hewitt, of st. Clair county. Missouri,
who has been in jail in Marysville for
falling to obey mandate of the
United States Court, was released yes
terday by Judge Phillips so he could
spend his Christmas with his family.
After the holidays he will return to
Marysville and to jail.
Judge hewitt is the presiding Judge
of the county court of ST. Clair. He
has been in Jail ever since he was
elected. For many years the judges of
that court have refused to vote money
to pay railroad bonds for which a
Judgment was obtained in the federal
court, and Judge Phillips has kept
them in JAIL
A week ago Judge hewitt wrote to
Judge Phillips and begged the privilege
of going home for Christmas. He
promised Judge Phillips that he would
not hold court in ST Clair county, but
would return after the holidays.

injunction to Prohibit lnterferencs
| With Mail is Asked.
Kansas City, Dec. 24.---The Amerf-
can School of Magnetic Healing, known
as the Weltmer school, applied to Judge
Phillips yesterday for an order Of in
junction to prohibit the postmaster Of
Nevada, Mo-, from interfering with the
delivery of mail to the school.
Two years ago the postmaster gem
eraI of the United States issued fraud
order against this school, and under
that order the postmaster at Nevada:
withheld the schools mail. The school
retained counsel to fight the order OF
the government. An Injunction was
asked for against the postmaster at
Nevada, but it was denied in the Uni
ted States court at ST Louis.
The attorneys for the school appealed
to the United States supreme court,
and there it was decided recently that
the injunction prayed for must be
granted, because the fraud order had
been issued without full investigation
by the government. Judge Phillips to- !
day took all the papers in the case to
look them over before issuing the order
of injunction.

that a blockading fleet can do pretty

possible reason for the position taken
by the allies in declining to allow the
Caracas to remain in the harbor at
night, that in the dark 1t would be diff
