The Jury Decides That the Evidence DId Not Justify Them in Saying
 That He Killed Bruce Profit.

The jury in the Powlas murder case returned a verdict late Saturday night, acquitting the defendent of the crime. Powlas was charged with the murder of Bruce Profit on Big Bug. Profit was walking along the road at midday when he was shot down from ambush. Profits wife at the time was in California, and it is alleged that PowIas was correspond ing with her. This and other cir cumstances led to his arrest. Twice before he has been on trial and in each instance the jury disagreed. Nothing but circumstantial evidence was obtainable, and this not of sui ficient strength to connect Powlas with the crime.
 During the trial Mrs. Profit, a comedy woman of slender build, has been in attendance, with her little baby, an older child having died re- gently. Powlas was quite elated at the announcement of the verdict on Saturday evening which restored to him his freedom once more. The trial of the case occupied the time of the court for four days and was marked by few sensational features.

KING FORTUNE MINING COMPANY.
Active Operations Commenced for De- veloping the Cabinet Mine In Big Bug District--Mr. Star
 buck Goes East.

J. s. Starbuck, president of the In vestment Banking company of Co., lumbus, Ohio. will leave tomorrow for his home in the above city after a visit of several weeks on mining busi- mess in thls section. Mir. Starbuck is also secretary and treasurer of the King Fortune Mining company, which recently purchased the Cabi- net mine in the Agua Fria country. The Cabinet is an extension of the Silver Belt mine and has been an ore producer in the past, drifts having been run in it from the Silver Belt mine at the 160 and 250 foot levels. From the south end of the former drift ore was taken out which went 2,200 ounces in silver. MT. Starbuck has the machinery on the ground for a first class steam hoist and men are at work now under the direction of Superintendent c. E. NJ. Beall, en- gagged in putting up buildings and re- timbering the old shaft preparatory to commencing active operations ln its development. The shaft, which is now about sixty-five feet deep, will be sunk to depth of 300 feet, when drifts will be run.
 MT. Starbuck is also heavily inter ested in mining in Colorado, owning in the Mountain Boy of Cripple Creek, and he has expressed himself so well pleased with this section that he will probably make other invest ments here. He is a very pleasant and affable gentleman and has made friends of all with whom he has be- acquainted during his brief stay in and around Pre- scott.

THE PHILIPPINES.
Returning Soldiers Give a Graphic But Exceedingly UncOmpli- mentary Description of
 Our New Possessions.
Habits, Manners, Customs and Traits of Character of the TreacherOus Filipino Sar-
 casticaIIy Portrayed.

The other evening a large party of soldiers who have just been dis charged from the Philippines, passed through. They united in a written opinion of the islands, of which the following is copy.
 "The Philippines, are bunch of trouble, death and destruction. gath cred together on the western horizon of civilization. The climate is a com bination of electrical charges, espec- ially adapted for raising cain. The soil is extraordinarily fertile in rais- ing large crops of insurrection. The inhabitants are very industrious and are chiefly employed in giving pois- oned water to American soldiers, making bolos and knihng and un loading Remington cartridges. The amusements for the male sex are cock fighting, monte, theft and cheat ing; for the females, to catch an American soldier bathing, get be- tween him and his clothing aud re- main there until he is obliged to go away. The Filipino diet consists of raw fish, dried snails, boiled rice, stewed rice, fried rice and rice. The rivers are serpentine i'll theIr courses, the water running contrary to all known laws of nature. The princi- pal exports of the islands are rice, hemp, sick soldiers and contagious diseases. The principal imports are American soldiers, arms and ammu- milton, rum, beer and tobacco. Ma laria is so common that on numerous occasions the islands have been seized by a chill. Manila, the principal city, is situated on Manila bay, a large land locked body of water full of filth, sharks and submarine boats which the United States government has foreigners to raise. Cavite, the next city of importance, is noted for its natural facilities for a naval sta ton and its number of saloons and Chinks. The towns are an aggrega- ton of shacks full of fieas, and dogs and corruption. The dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, monkeys, bedbugs lice and family all sleep together on terms of equality. The Philippines would be an appropriate present to a deadly enemy. The natives are a friend at the point of the bayonet The climate is pleasant and healthy for tarantulas, reaches, scorpions, cen tipedes, snakes and alligators. The soil is adapted to raising foul odors and breeding diseases. The islands in general are a God forsaken canni- balized, Auguinaldo-infected blot on the face of Gods green earth.-Albu- querque Citizen.

TOMB INSTEAD
 OF CROWN
May Be Wbat Awaits King Edward. He is Stricken SudddnIy and
 Lies at Deaths Door.
Coronation Ceremonies Have Been Postponed lndefiniteIy--London in State of Suppressed Ex-
 cItement and Suspense.

A London Telegram of June "A says: With dramatic suddenness the king has been stricken down on the eve of his coronation. Tonight he lies in a critical state at Bucking- ham palace.
 If tonight's progress is maintained he will probably tide over the effects of the severe operation, which has successfully removed the local trou- ble. But should any complication occur, such as septic peritonitis or blood poisoning, it feared his majesty's present physical and ner- vous condition would prove unequal to the strain involved. There is con- sequently intense anxiety as to the outcome. The kings doctors be- lieve that his majesty would have been dead before now except for the operation. His condition became so alarming last night that at one time it was feared that death might ensue before the surgeons knife could af- ford him relief. Intense swelling in the extremities, accompanied by alarming symptoms of modification, constituted an emergency which de- manded immediate operation.
 To the last he tried to avoid this, and was willing to be carried to the abbey for the coronation ceremony in order that it should occur as ar ranged.
 Sir Frederick Treves made an in- cision near the patients groin and carried it upward with an outward slant for nearly four inches. The obstruction was removed and tubing was placed in the affected intestine. Shortly before 2 o'clock this after noon his majesty was moved from his couch to the operating table and an anaesthetic was administered.
 King Edwards first words when he recovered consciousness were to ask for George" the Prince of Wales, who was waiting in the next room. He was immediately ad- mitted to his fathers presence. While the operation was being per formed the great central court yard of Buckingham palace, so lately the scene of such brilliant gatherings, was utterly deserted, and an impres- sive silence reigned throughout the building. Equerries talked in whis- pers, servants tiptoed about, and the tension grew almost anbearable. Then the word was passed around, All has gone well.' The sudden announcement of the postponement of the coronation just on the eve of the ceremonies caused the utmost consternation everywhere. The news spread like wild fire. His majesty, under ordinary conditions, is not looked upon as a good subject for an operation, and though the king has passed successfully through the or deal, it is believed that four or five weeks at the least must elapse before he will be able to undergo the ardu- oUs laboEs of the coronation ceremon- fal. Therefore, no date can be indi- cated for the carrying out of the coronation.

A KILLING AT CONGRESS.
A Drunken Row at Congress Between Two MexicanS Results in One of
 Them Being Fatally Shot.

Word was received yesterday at the sheriff's office of a shooting scrape at Congress which it was ex- pected, would result in the death of a Mexican. Only meager information was received, no details being given. It was to the effect that two Mexicans engaged in a quarrel while drunk. One of them went into a saloon and was followed shortly by the other with a siX-shooter which he proceeded to unload into the body of his adversary. He fired thee shots, one of which it was stated perforated his victims abdomen, penetrating his intestines, producing what was con sidered a fatal wound. The man who did the shooting immediately fled.
 Sheriff Munds, who went down last evening to investigate the killing, re- turned today and reports that the man who dId the shooting had been badly beaten up with a billiard cue, two men being engaged in it. He went into the saloon and was fol- lowed by the two other men, one of whom had the billiard cue and the other knife. He shot the man with the knife. The man died in a short time. An inquest was to be held to- day, and it was expected the man would be eXOnerated.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

Work will be started again tomor- row on the Belcher mine. They will commence taking out ore from the upper workings of the property, of which there is said to be a large amount opened up.
 A small bed of opals has been found near the Whipple military res ervation on the land owned by Gov. ernor Tritle. The opals are not of the valuable kind, but serves as a suggestion that the precious gems may be encountered with depth.
 The Fl Capitan mine, near Agua Faia, which IS being worked by Douglas, Lacey & Co, has every in dication at its present stage of de- velopment of proving a wonder. They have broken through the cap ping over the rich body of sulphides which was known to exist in the mine, and the first ore test on this new body was I per cent, a later as say giving value of 22 per cent cop per. This property bids fair to rival any copper property in the territory. The Fl Capitan has the same forma- tion and the same capping over its sulphides as the United Verde.
 The report is made of the sale of the Gold Basis group of mines on Groom creek. The group was owned by Cleveland parties and while the properties were very promising, the owners either did Dot have the means to work it, or if they had the means, declined to spend it in the develop ment of the property. The mines are practically undeveloped, although the showing on them are sufficient to warrant mining man to prosecute work vigorously in their development. The price paid for the property is re- ported to be S65.OOO, and the new owners, it is said, mean business, and will put up steam hoist and sink to a depth of $50 feet. If they do they will make mine, for the property is located in a section where mines i'm prove with depth.
 The shaft of the Prosperity mine is down now to a depth of $50 feet, and in the bottom of it there are five feet of solid ore. Assays of the ore at this depth gave value of S34.S0 in gold and other values in copper and lead, which run the total up to over S60. They have encoun- tered quite a flow of water at this depth, but then during the existence of the present drouth no one com plains of finding water in a mine or elsewhere.
 Arrangements have been made fol starting up work again on the Ven ture Hill Mining company's property at Jerome early in July. Partie: with capital have become interested in the company and development work will be prosecuted on the claims again. The Venture Hill is one of the
 properties near Jerome which alway, gave promise of developing into ; dividend payer with a reasonable amount of development. While th' company was endeavoring to sell it
 treasury stock to secure funds fo ] developing the mine, an owner of large interest in the mine threw hii

 Settled.
Invitation Forwarded to Him to Assist in the Fourth of July Celebration
 But No Answer Yet Received.

It is just barely possible that Gen eral Frederick Funston, commander of the military department of Col orado, and his staff, may be in Pres colt to participate in the Fourth of July exercises. At least that is the prospect at the present time. MT. Garretson, private secretary of F. NJ. Murphy, received word today that the general and his staff would reach Prescott some time this week, the date not being known. As soon as this information was received, a re- quest was telegraphed to him that he so time his trip that he may be able to spend the Fourth in Prescott. Up to late hour this afternoon no an swer had been received to the invi- tation.
 General Funston and his staff will come in on the Santa Fe Railroad company's private car No 220 and he will be accompanied by Charles F. Gleed of the law firm of Gleed, Ware x Gleed of Topeka, Kansas. Mir Gleed is prominently connected with the Santa Fe company, being the special representative of B. P. Cheney, one of its heavy stockhold- CTS.

 While visiting Catalina island, L. Turner of Bisbee, took his wife out on the bay for a boat ride. On their return trip, and when within 100 feet of shore, he stood up in the boat, when suddenly he fell backward into the water. When help reached him he apparently was dead though float ing. After working over him an hour the physicians gave up, and gave the opinion that he died probably from heart failure.

Spring fever is another name for billiousness. It is more serious than most people think. A torpid liver and inactive bowels may mean pois- oned system. If neglected, serious illness may follow such symptoms. DeWitt's Little Early Risers remove all danger by stimulating the liver, opening the bowels and cleansing the system of impurities. Safe pills. Never gripe. 'I have taken DeWitt's Little Early Risers for torpid liver every spring for years" writes R. NJ. Everly, Moundsville, w. Va. They do me more good than anything 1 have ever tried"
