Hanley, in which the former was
charged with assaulting Mr.. Han
ley on May 81, was aired in Justice
Boyd's court last Saturday. From
the evidence introduced, Judge
Boyd found the defendant not
guilty, and the costs were charged
to the complaining witness, who
left few days ago for Phoenix
Mr.. Ernest Hall, of Hall Bros. &
Anderson, who have O. contract
with the Orc Grande Developmer t
Company, came in on Monday and

Mr.. Hall says the property is show
ing up fine, and the company has
one OF the best propositions in the

An official of the Santa Fe says
!, that it is the most wonderful thing
he ever heard of that the entire
crew and list of passengers were
not killed at the Glendale explo-
sion. The wrecked engine passed
through Wickenburg on it's way to
the machine shops at Prescott. The
greatest damage done to it was the
wrecking of the cab and burning OF
the wood work.
A communication from President
Wilson of the Electra Mining and
Milling Company, who is now in
Colorado in the interest of that
company, states that business is
fine and that the trip will result in
placing a large amount of Electra
stock as we'll as disposing of sew
eral Wickenburg properties. AL
though Colorado has o beautiful
climate, writes President Wilson, I
prefer the air OF Arizona and few
specks of dust to flavor my meals.

hand and making everybody good
humored by their anticipation Of
the checks, Dave informed them that
through mistake he had put the
checks IL a pocket Of the coat he
had left home, and he hastily hied
himself hence.
Work on the Electra continues
to show up the same rich ore. 1t
seems that the more is done on this
property the greater the interest
becomes. AS depth is attained the
veins are holding the same values
and are gradually increasing in
width. 1t is only a question of
getting to the permanent water
level when a re-enriched sulphide
zone will be encountered that will
make the Electra and Wickenburg
more famous and richer than our
fondest dreams picture.

a protest with the United States in con-
nection with the events that have taken
place on the isthmus.

against interpretations made by this
government OF the treaty of I846 between
the United States of America and the
United States Of Colombia
The state department has the protest
under consideration, but the nature of its

May Be Serious.

New York, Nov. o.--lnformation CON
taired in private dispatches received here
shows that the operation on Emperor Viii
liam is similar to the first one performed
on his father, and consequently causes
concern to his household. The official
statement issued by the surgeons fail to
reassurc because it is we'll understood that
for reasons of state the emperor would be
given the benefit Of any doubt as to the
true character of his disease.
1t is recalled that the surgeons at that
time made nothing of the first operation
on Emperor Frederick. There is anxiety
because both Emperor Williams father
and mother died of cancer and his grand
mother, Augusta, also was SO afflicted.
The empcror's aunt, the grand duchess Of
Baden, as is well known in Germany, is
suffering from the same malady.
1t will take months to decide whether
the fears now entertained are unfoundcd.
At present the whole weight of scientific
authority which is in attendance upon the
emperor affrms that he has not cancer.

Judge Clancy said this morning that he
would make usc Of the right given him by
the law 10 call in another Judge to try mat.
ters III his department Of the district court.
IN one instance.
The qneation which the Judge whom he
will call in viii be asked to try will be
the question Of contempt Of court raised
by the charges and counter charges of hot
and cold water throwing. stone hcaving,
smokc.niaking and limedilst- shooting
through compressed air pipes made by the
respective parties in the suit Of Il. A.
ilcinzc and the Montana Ore Purchasing
company against the Boston & Montana
company, involving the Pennsylvania claim
led9cs.
There is another question OF contempt
Of court raised by Ilcinzc in the same case
and in the same contempt proceedings.
and il also was before Judge Clancy this
morning, but, while he expressed the opin-
ion that he WAS disqualified to try the
issue above described, he would not agree
10 call in another judge 10 Try it. This
question Of contempt involves The charge
made by lleinze that the Boston & Mon
tana company has violated the Injunction
in the PENNSYLVANIA case, issued By Clancy
against that company, by working the
lcdgcs put under injunction.
Mr. FoIbis, for the Boston & Montana
company, expressed the opinion that the
court, il disqualified to try the issue pre-
senlcd by the charges and counter charges
that his injunctions against smokc-mak-
ing and so forth had been violated, was
disqualified TO try that issue also.
Judge Clancy, however, held that the two
matters were quite different. The first
matter only involves the question of
whether the employees Of both litgants
have been mutually disagrecablc in their
respective mining operations under the
surface of the Pennsylvania claim, while
the second matter centers round the ques-
ton OF who owns the ore deposits
The court stated that lie would try to
get another judge to take the first piece of
business off of his hands, but he would not
agree to take that step with the latter pro-
ceeding.
The contempt matters referred to, three
in number, had been set for hearing be-
fore Judge Clancy this morning. He did
not hear them, however. He continued the
first mentioned two till Monday, November
10, saying that he would in the meantime
endcavor to get another Judge to try them,
and he continued the third till Tuesday,
November II, saying that the chances were
that he would begin hearing it himself
then.

Loew, it is said, has relatives in New York
city.
His body is at the morgue. II is said
the men were initiated last week into the
vi Psi Chi, a college fraternity. From
bruises on the bodies Of the two men it
would seem that they had been roughly
handled, whether from the initiation or
otherwise is not known.
An inquest and pOstmortcm will be held

ner's jury to testify.
Late last night Stone made rambling
statement as to the experience of himself

although each thought the other was dying
in great agony. He claims that the bruises
on the bodies of himself and Loew are due

Supervisory Control Which
Heinze Sought Was
Turned Down.
WEEKLY INSPECTIONS
3. & IA. May Go Into the
Mine Regularly Until

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.

5fEtlhL ~ THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Helena, Nov o.-In an opinion by Chief
Justice Brantly, the supreme court today
denied the writ of supervisory control
asked for by i. a. Heinze to set aside the
order granted by Judge Clancy and de-
cided that the Boston 4 Montana should be
entitled to permission to survey the Min
ME Healy through the Pccalo and Gam
beta workings and accordingly affirmed the
order OF Judge Clancy granting the sur
vey. The Ii. NJ. is permitted to survey
all openings into the claim excepting the
one extending to the south and into the
Snohomish and Tramway mines. The B.
q M. under the terms of the order is per-
mitted to make weekly inspections until
the appeal i'll that case has been decided
Courts Opinion.
In the course of its opinion the court
said:
1T appears from the evidence that work
is being conducted in the claim and that
development is constantly taking place.
Openings made are timbered so that they
may not afterwards be examined without
difficulty and expense. Some of them are
filled with waste from time to time and
the facts and conditions shown by them
thus escape attention.
This condition of things has existed
since the dismissal Of cause No. oI6r, since
which time the defendant has not been able
to make weekly inspections authorized un-
der it.
Furthermore, it appears from the evil
dence that the initial point from which sur
veys and underground workings are made,
shift their positions from time to time be-
cause of movement of the earth or are
destroyed by mining operations and then
1t is impossible to take up survey after
1t has been. discontinued for some length
and make the openings which have been
made in the workings in the meantime ap-
pear as extensions from any former sur
vey with any degree of accuracy.
1T does not necessarily follow that be-
cause some of complanant's witnesses tes-
tify that the vein in controversy passes out
of the Minnie Healy ground at the 900
foot level and is wholly disconnected with
other veins in the Minnie Healy ground
that the defendants should not be per-
mitted to examine such workings and de-
tcrmine for itself whether or not these
conditions actually exist"
The decision says that it is perfectly
legal that the employees OF the B. & NJ.
should be allowed to go in through the
Minnie Healy as the only means OF ingress
and cgress.
In conclusion, the opinion says the B. &
NJ. must pay the cost of inspection.
