HER MIND DISTURBED.
Mrs. Keleher to Be Examined as to
Mental Condition.

Two eighth precinct policemen on their
way to the station from the Police Court
this morning were stopped by a frail little
woman, who startled them with the an
nouncement: I'm going down to the
river. and jump overheard The woman
proved to be Mrs. Nora NJ. Keleher, wife
of William A. Keleher, employe of the
Department of Agriculture The family
home is a 305 A street southeast.
Mrs. Keleher has been in the ST Eliza
beth Hospital for the Insane on three oc-
casions. and Sanitary Officer Frank took
charge of her today in order that another
examination may be made to determine her
mental condition. She had been lettering
about the Police Court before she saw the
policemen at 7th and D streets She ex-
planned that she had been there watching
one of her neighbors, and she felt certain
that he had procured a warrant for her
arrest because of trouble she had with
him this morning She said to Sanitary
Officer Frank that she struck the man and
that she was sorry for it,
Mrs. keleher is native of Ireland. She
came to this country in 1881 and eight
years later was sent to the asylum. The
second time she was committed was two
years later. Two years ago she was sent
there a. third time. Her condition improved
so much before her trial that the court
placed her in charge of her friends. She
was sent to the house of detention this af-
ternoon to be examined by the police
surgeons.

that the majority of the senate commit

That the French company must first

Members of Committee.
II is learned here that Diego Mendoza
and other prominent politicians are en-
deavoring to induce congress to issue a
law of authorizations to the president,
which should specify Colombia agrees in
principle to negotiate with the United
States and that new canal treaty should
be made by plural committee, in which
all presen: parties would be represented.
The committeeman suggested are Pablo
Arozmena, distinguished isthmian law
yer and a liberal; Marcofidel Suarez, for

PRESIDENT Caros administration, a national
list; Jorge Roa or Eduardo Posada, both
noted writer's and conservatives. This idea
Is said to be gaining ground.

SOME NEW WAR VESSELS
Approaching Completion at Portsmouth
Navy Yard.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
PORTSMOUTH. Va. August 29.-The
cruiser Galveston will arrive at this navy
yard to receive the finishing touches that
will fit her for commission on the 4th or
9Th of September. She will be towed down
Abe James river by daylight and will likely

day she starts from the yards of her con-
tractors. the William r. Trigg Ship and
Engine Building Company, at Richmond
The big army dredge Bengard. which is
also building at the Triggs' will accompany
the Galveston.

work of finishing them will be done by the
skilled workmen at this yard in short order.
1t is expected that the vessel will be com
pleted within a few months, and that the
army dredge will be finished even sooner
These points will depend on whether or
not there is much general repair work TO
be done between the time the Galveston and
the Beugard arrive and the end of the year
From present indica tons the repairs to
the vessels of the North Atlantic fleet which
are to come here for overhauling at the
close of the war game ON the New England
coast will be completed or well under way
by the time the yard force is ready to starr
In on the Galveston.
In any event there will be little II any
delay in completing the cruiser. The work
will involve the expenditure of nearly 500
90 extra money at the yard during the
next few months. Meantime the regular es
adjustment will be busy with its ordinary
Jobs.

QUINCY AND ARIzoNA.

The Mining Gazette, published al Houghton. Michigan, brings the follow ing account Of the organization of am other Arizona mining company last week at Hancock, Michigan
 It is known as the Quincy X Arizona Mining company and it holds an option on twelve claims. comprising about 22c acres, in a favorable part of the Warren district. The company has a capital stock of 60,000 shares at par value of s10 each. These shares are sold s2.50 cash, sz.50 in sixty days and the balance of the par value subject to the call of the directors. Captain James Wilcox is president. Joseph Croze is vice president and E. L. Wright is secretary and treasurer
 The property secured by the Quin- cy & Arizona is the tract formerly known as the Ivanhoe group. It is immediately north of the Portage Lake & Bisbee and south of the Cal amet & Cocbise. being practically the last piece of unorganized property for some miles south from the Calumet & Arizona along the base of the DOT phyry dike. It lies in the direction of the line which the development Of the rich ore body shown in the Irish Mag shaft of the Calumet & Arizona and the Spray shaft of the Copper

4 Southern Arizona District that Is
 Getting Lively.
 The Orc Blanco district is now stead fly attracting attention es tha most extensive gold bearing section in southern Arizona, says the Nogales Vidette The latest interesting news is that J. T. Mcdonald has disposed of his Golden Eagle group of mines to Los Angeles people for the handsome sum of $ S0,000, and the first payment has been made While this is fair ly respectable price, it is not too much, for the mines are very exten- sive, the group is large and vast amount of ore already in sight. The purchasers have leased the old Monta- na mill for two months and will treat the ores in bulk, by plate amalgama- ton and cyaniding, so as to first thor oughly ascertain the most suitable ap- pointments for the large plant they propose to put up for themselves.
 Work on the old Gro Blanco and Parallel mines of the Sierrita compa- ny. is being actively pushed with very satisfactory results. proving very pos itively that the veins not only go down. but improve in quality and quantity as depth is attained.
 The Orc Fino Development company that has taken over the Gold Rock Consolidated mining group is refitting the mill building thereon and will put in a eyaniding plant which will be af- terwards largely increased in capac- ity as facts are demonstrated. This group of mines is similar in it's general character and formation to the Mo Donald group, which is situated about two miles south of it. and in the opin- ion of competent judges is fully as val uable and extensive.
 Cyanide" is the magic word that will cause Gro Blanco to boom. Its marvellous amount of surface ores that can be mined so cheaply, but which hitherto it would not pay to exten- siyely pan, amalgamate in small mills, and which also would not usually plate to good advantage, now readily yield their fine gold (oro Fino) to that SO lution, and will pay largely. Where the gold is coarse, plates also can be used and the tailings alone cyanided. as in South Africa, where one-third of the gold values are saved by cyanid- ing, without which those great mines, whose average values are low, would not pay to work, but which with 1t are enormously productive and profit able
 Messrs. Kempton and Mccoy, min ing engineers of 29 Broadway, New York, well known to many as formerly interested in the Gro Blanco mining district, and whose faith therein, based on their actual knowledge of it's resources, is still undiminished, are now in Gro Blanco on 2 professional visit to examine certain mining prop critics.

THE END NOT VET.

lvanhoe Group Has Passed into
 Michigan Hands and Another
 Sale Is Pending.
 The pessimist who a few weeks ago predicted that the end of the mining activity in the Warren Mining dis trict was at hand, has been forced to the rear and it is bad day which does not chronicle another sale of mining property. ranging into the hundreds of thousands of dollars in this district. On Wednesday it was the Ivanhoe group, and the considera- ton $40, 900. These Michigan buy CTS lose no time in closing a deal, and the telegraph wires between Bisbee and Calumet have been literally laden with money during the past six weeks. On the heels of the announcement of the sale of the Iyanhoe group came a telegram of inquiry from Michigan asking if the Bisbee Queen group could be had. A local mining man, who has figured in several big mining deals, asked the question of B. F G. aham, president of the company as he sat in his office Wednesday night. You can answer back" said Mir. Graham, that the property is for sale" But the price" inquired the promoter. Three million" said MT. Graham, without batting an eye, and not a cent less"
 It is no secret that ever since the organization of the Bisbee-Queen com pany Michigan people have been en- deavoring to buy it. Before the com pany was organized s30O,O00 was of fered and promptly refused.

ny has fortylhorse power compressor and ffty-horse power boiler en route from Los Angeles to it's mine, says the Journal Miner. When they arrive and are installed it is the intention of the company to run two machines drilling and to develop the property just as rapidly as possible. On account of a heavy inflow of water. they have been unable to do any sinking for some time, and it is their purpose shortly to add a sinking pump and push the shaft down to a greater depth. The principal work being done lately was driving a cross cut drift from the shaft, at depth of 130 feet to the main ledge. a distance of about POO feet. This work has been about com pleted, and the ledge will be struck within a day or two if not already done. The last shot fired in tho drift on Thursday night broke into ore, but just the extent of it or the exact char acter of it was not known when Su- perintendent Smith left on Friday morning, and it was not known %hets- CT the ore came from a stringer or whether the wall of the ledge had been broken. through
