A Great Strike of Ore.

Last week on the 400 level of the
Minnesota mine, in the south drift an
| immense strike of ore was made. The
ore body has width of ten to twelve
feet and will average more than fifty
dollars to the ton, while there are large
streaks through it that will run away
up in the hundreds. la the north
drift on the same level last Saturday
night another strike was made that
certainly eclipses anything heretofore
found in that country. The ore body
is six feet in width aud the average
runs so ounces silver and from two to
/ five ounces gold to the ton. Both ore
bodies have been exploited to con-
siderable degree and show great per-
manency. 10 the bottom of the shaft,
now thirty feet below the 400 level, the
ore body fills the shaft and its width
is unknown. All the workings below
the old ore bodies are now filled with
ore of value that insures great things
to. the mine. General Manager 10y
has been hard at work on the mine for
year past and we are more than
pleased to learn that he has been sue
cessful in exploiting the big ore bodies
of the Minnesota Connor. From those
who know the mine and made
thorough examination of the prop.
erty since the strike we learn that
nothing that will compare with it has
ever been opened in the territory in
recent years. The ore is mass OF ruby
and native silver. On the 400 level the
water is stored and but little is en-
countered in sinking below that point.
Owing to the lack Of water the mill has
been run very unsteadily, but owing to
4 its great capacity is able to get out
large quantities of concentrates when
conditions are favorable. Large
amounts of these concentrates will be
run through the new smelter for test.
Ia connection with the striking OF
the big ore bodies in the Minnesota
Connor will say that f. T. 10y is de
serving of great good things from the
people of Chloride and vicinity. 1t
was through his perseverance and in.
domitable will that the town and dis.
trict was brought into the prominence
aud standing that it now enjoys in the
mining world. He has put the labor OF
years in the camp and has been indie.
fatigable in the work of interesting
capital in its mines. That he deserves
all the good luck that may come to
him must be conceded aud we are OF
the opinion that in the big mines now
under his charge he will find the treas
ures he long has sought.

The Gold Road Deal.

For months past all sorts of rumors
have been rife about the deal on the
Gold Road mines. At last the infor.
nation Is to hand that Clarence Nc
CJrnick, who has been in Paris for
some time past, has just notified his
father that the deal with the French
Swiss people has been closed $4,000 8
has been placed in bank by them to
be used in the development of the
property and to erect reduction plants.
For this the Subscribers receive a one.
fourth interest in the property. II al
so gives them the privilege to purchase
certain amount Of the stock of the
company at certain fixed price. The
whole investment of the French Swiss
people is stated to be 5Ou,00JS The
sampling of the property by them is
said to have been very satisfactory and
far above the representations of the
former owners, Messrs. Mccormick
Baily and Posey. For the past several
months the mines have been operated
with the view to the opening up of the
ore bodies on the two and three hun.
dred levels and now there is an im.
mense amount of ground blocked out.
The company is getting matters in
shape to work large force of men on
the property as soon as the weather
moderates.

Murder at Peach Springs.

Last Sunday night a Mexican by the
name of Jose Maria Aguire, was killed
while asleep and Antonio Guiterez is
charged with the crime. 1t appears
that the Mexican poems, who are en-
ployed by the railroad under contract,
obtained a supply of whisky from Sell
igman Sunday evening and they pro-
ceeded TO make merry. Several of
them got very drunk and among these
was Gutierrez. Conflicting stories are
told regarding the manner in which
Aguire was killed, but ther re is no doubt
that while the unfortunate man slept
he had his head beaten in with a club.
A Mexican woman made the statement
that before mid night Gutierrez knocked
at her door and asked for admission
and that when he received no answer
he went on to the end of the house
where Aguire slept; that she went out
shortly after and found Aguire dead
and Gutierrez asleep a short distance
away. She accused him of the crime
and he said; 81 do not know; forgive
me-" This was not the story she told
at the preliminary and since that time
she tells conflicting stories. 1t may be
that the murder was committed by
other parties and that the woman is
trying to shield them. She and her
hus band are being held to await in
vestigation of the matter.

The Chloride Smelter.

Last week the Chloride smelter
started up for a trial run and con-
cluded the test Saturday night, all the
ore on hand having been run through.
1t is said by those who took note OF
the trial run that it was a success In
every way, although we have not
learned the percentage of fuel used.
The miners in that country are so
firmly convinced that the smelter can
handle the ores Of that region that
they are now getting out in the mines
and extracting ores having a copper
base. The old Metallic Accident mine
is nov under lease to Hank Letter, who
is taking out the copper ore to sell to
the smelter. The Pinkham, Midnight,
Connor, and many other mining claims
can produce enough ore TO keep the
plant in steady operation and it is to
be hoped that everything will now run
smoothly between the producers and
the smelling company. II the right
rates can be made there is no reason
why the mines now lying idle cannot
be worked to their full capacity.

1t is reported that several promising
prospects have been discovered in the
Alum Wash country, a mile or so from
Mineral Park. In the early days that
section was run over considerably and
several locations we're made. Float
rich in silver was found, but the veins
whence it came were never found. In
the wash below the Metallic Accident
lode the writer found very rich quartz
and even the granite showed patches
of horn silver. II is supposed that the
vein was eroded away in that canyon
and only the float left as evidence.

This week an attachment was run
on the White Hills mines, mills and all
personal property by David Moffat, of
Denver, to satisfy demand of 26,0O0S.
f. E. Ellinwood, Moffat's attorney was
in Kingman several days this week
looking after the matter and filing the
action Ia the district court. We have
not learned on what account the in
debtedness WAS incurred, as it was
thought that every claim against the
company had been settled in full. 1t
may have grown out of the sale of the
mine by Motfat to the new White Hills
company, but this matter was sup
posed to have been settled up a few
years ago. We understand that in the
Federal court at Prescott, few days
ago, there was recorded a Judgment
against the White Hills company for
something over lO0,O0Os. Nothing is
known of the intentions of the CON-
pany, but it is to be hoped that the
matter will be settled up and the
mines put on a paying basis.

to the different lunch 70 ms to put away his
fave rite edibles. OF course, it is different
with the workmen and the clerk. TIE lat
ter sits in one of the handy arm chairs In
lunch room and feels content with a sand
Wich and piece of pie for his midday
meal. The lunch rooms with which he
spends ten, or fifteen, or twenty-five cents
sells a small piece of pie for five cents.
The White House workman would frown
contemptuously uro1 weak appetites like
this. He buys and disposes of a whole pie,
and sometimes does not sop with one o:
two. He doesn't secure his pie ON one of
the neat lunch rooms 18th street He
hasn't time to walk that far: SO, If the
lunch his wife prepares for him at home
isn't sufficient, he walks to a title wagon
owned and operated by colorsd woman or
colored man and buys wnat he fit. 1t
depends on what tempts him.
The pies, the sandwiches, the pieces Of
ham from which slices are cut. an occa-
siOnal piece of roast beef and a painful of
boiled potatoes are displayed on top OF
these two-wheeled little lunch wagons.
These are of the same type of wagon as
the travelling oyster and clam man uses in
his pera mbulat tons around the city. 1t has
top that folds over a reasonably capa-
cfous interior and this interior is filled with
whatever the vender thinks will induce
trade. Pies are, of course, predominant.
There are whole pies, too and no cut pieces.
They sold cheap and are home made.
Some of the workmen take their own pies,
but not all their wives bake pies daily, and
so the carpenter or electrician or painter
who has an abnormal pie appetite can sat
isfy that appetite daily from the stroling
wagons. For a long time these wagons
were not permitted in the grounds and the
wants of the Workmen were supplied from
baskets taken to the grounds by hand.
The scene is not unlike that around other
places where the American workman Is
supplying his inner wants at monday, ex
cept that it is SO entirely new at the his
torc home of Presidents as to become with
in itself a matter of interest. Groups Of
men sit together. talking and eating from
buckets or packages of all kinds while off
alone will sit a white or colored workman.
He likes comparative solitude when he eats
he is sensitive to other men watching
his tast-disappearing food Then. when the
meal is hastily finished this single man re-
chnes the piece Of plank or grass and
INDUCES in a moment of repose musing Of
his family, of politics. of his lodge or per-
sonal affairs. The groups chat rnerrily and
discuss whatever becomes a topic pos
sesses interest The half hour Is all too
quickly spent, and then the men hasten
back to their places and resume work on
the building.
The portico is favorite spot for work
men to sit and dispose of their luncheon.
On the steps over which have trod the most
illustrious statesmen and diplomats, gen.
erals and admirals of this and other coun-
tries these workmen find a resting place
and a comfortable spot at which to enjoy
their meals. The front of the building Is
piled up with pieces of timber stone slabs
for steps and other places, and these make
favorite and comfortable places also.

EXPRESSION OF REGARD.
Gen. Longstreet Sends Greeting to
Army of the Potomac.


Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, who was one Of
the most prominent figures at the recent
unwilling of the Slocum monument on Get
tysburg, received during his stay there the
following letter from Lieutenant General
James Longstreet:
My plan and desire was to meet you at
Gettysburg on the interesting ceremony at
tending the unwilling of the Slocum monu-
ment: but today 1 find myself in no condi-
ton to meet the promise made you when
last we were together. l am quite dis
abled from a severe hurt in one of my feet.
so that I am unable to stand more than a
minute or two at time. Please express
my sincere regrets to the noble Army Of
the Potomac, and to accept them especially
for yourself
''On that field you made your mark that
will place you prominently before the world
a one of the leading figures Of the most
important battle Of the civil war. AS a
northern veteran once remarked to me:
General Sickes can we'll afford to leave a
leg on that field.
Il believe that 1t is now conceded that the
advanced position at. the Peach Orchard,
taken by your corps and under your Or
ders saved that battlefield to the Union
cause. 1t was the sorest and saddest re-
fection of my life for many years; but to-
day l can say, with sincereSt emotion, that
it was and is the best that could have come
to us all, north and south; and l hope that
the nation reunited may always enjoy the
honor and glory brought to 1t by that grand
work.
please express my kindest salutations to
your governor and your fellow comrades of
the Army of the Potomac"

FALL OPENING.
Kings Palace Has Big Display Of
Fashionable Goods.

Fashionable Goods.
The fall opening Of Kings Palace, at $40
to S14 It'll street and 715 Market space was
the attraction that drew an immense con-
course of shoppers to that popular empori-
UNI of fashion today. The ladies Of the city
crowded the aisles and the clerks In the
various departments were kept In a con-
slant state Of activity in their efforts to &C
comm odate the many purchasers of fab and
winter wear.
The large show windows of the It'll street
establishment. filled with millinery of fas-
cinat1ng design. was the recipient OF much
attention from the shoppers. But the dis
play IN the windows was only suggestive of
the immense amount Of beautiful hats, ele-
giant ladies' suits, dress goods of striking
patterns and other articles of apparel dis
played on the counters and shelves Of tho
establishment.
There was on exhibition a line Of hats
from Paris. the productions of leading mil
liners from that great center of fashion.
and many were the admring exclamations
that escaped the lips of fair shoppers on be-
holding the creations The American hats
were no less admired and are of fine de-
sign. The ladies' tailor-made suits dis
played are not of the hashy variety but
they are none the less attractive while the
dress goods and other accessories of good
dressing are deserving Of mention for equal
merit.

Cases Filed in Supreme Court

Three cases raising public questions in
chicago have been filed in the United States
supreme Court One of them involves the
validity of n city ordinance of the munici-
patty of Chicago fixing the price of nIu-
minating gas at 70 cents and is brought nv
the Peoples Gas Light Company; and the
other two are controversies between w. l..
Elkins of Pennsylvania and the city of Chi
cago and the street car companies of the
city concerning the duration of the fran
chises of the companies. All three cases
are brought to the United States Supreme
Court on questions involving the jurisdic-
ton of the federal courts.
The case of the Minneapolis and st. Louis
Railway Company agt. the state of Mime
sofa also has been filed In the Supreme
Court. This case raises the question as to
whether the Minnesota state railroad and
warehouse commission has the right to
compel railroad company to erect a sta
ton for the accommodation of the public
at any given place on Its line.
