GAN USE WATER
 FROM MINE HERE
MAYOR MUIRHEAD TALKS ABOUT
 WATER FOR FIRE PURPOSES

Says Filtering Tark Would Take Out
 Minerals That Might Decay Pipes
 in Better Fire Protection System
 Since the question of better fire protection was first considered by the city council there has been some question whether or not the water from the Copper Queen mine would eat out the pipes and make constant repairs necessary.
 Aldermen Taylor and Warner. the council comittee, which was appoint ed 10 investigate the matter decided first that the water from the mine would be used. owing to the small ex. pense that would have to be met by the city for it's use Attention to the mineral properties in the water was first called by Jacob Schmidt.
 Yesterday afternoon Mayor Muir head, who is now preparing for the election, was asked what he thought about the use of the mine water He has been employed in the mine, and was there for about twenty years. Mayor Muirhead gave his opinion as follows:
 'As far as know the plan is to use the water from the mine. It will be much cheaper than to use the Naco water. which we could not buy for less than s1 per 1000 gallons There is plenty of water in the mine for fire purposes.
 If it is found that the mine water will damage the pipes to any great extent an apparatus can be built which will filter the water before it passes into the tanks of the city Tn this apparatus all the mineral and other harmful ingredients would be re- moved"
 Do you not think. Mayor, that the city could make this apparatus pay part of the expense by selling to the Copper Queen the residue that re- mains, after the water passes through?' was asked.
 Several years ago the Copper Queen company tried a scheme of this Kind. but 1t was not a success. The water from some parts of the mine contains enough copper to rust one of the large rails in the tunnel, and turn it into copper inside of six weeks but in spite of this. there is mol enough copper in the water when Il reaches the surface to make it worth while trying to save it. There is great deal of water from other parts of the mine that mixes with it.

DUNN HELD FOR CRIME

At the request of Robert Kneale yes terday a warrant was sworn out for the arrest of William Dunn. charging him with the murder of Lizie Forna- son last Sunday morning
 The warrant was served by Consta- ble Doyle upon Dunn, who is now in the city jail serving a sentence of twenty-five days for threatening to kill a number of people at the Beer Garden last Saturday. Dunn was given his sentence by Justice Brown.
 Kneale said yesterday afternoon that he will try to avenge the death of Mrs. Fornason. and believes that the first step to be taken is to charge Dunn with having poisoned her with morphine. He takes her death 10 heart for the reason that the two were on friendly terms.
 Dunn will have his examination to- day at 10 o'clock before Justice Mcdonald. The defense will be look. ed after by w. P Miller, and George Neale will look after the interests of the prosecution. Both are preparing to bring out all the evidence possible.
 The accused man does not seem to consider himself in a dangerous posi- ton, though there will be at least two witnesses take the stand today to swear that he was seen giving the dy- ing woman a white powder one or more times.

 NEXT FRIDAY
DEFENDANTS IN SOUTH sISBEE
 CASE GIVEN MORE TIME
Attorney Neale Says That Allegation
 Not Be Determined Before May

On next Friday the local stockhOld- CTS of the South Bisbec Mining and Townsite Improvement company eX- pect a step to be taken toward the settlement of the suit brought by them against the directors of the company for the alleged fraudulent issue of stock.
 On that day the defendants in an al ready famous suit will file their an swer in the district court at Los An geles to the complaint of the local stockholders, who set forth that about 3,O00,00O shares of the treasury stock of the company were illegally issued.
 It has now been two months since the defendants in this suit were ex- pected to file their answer. Several extensions were given, the last being for ten days from February 10th. In each instance the delay has been at the request of the defendant.
 George Neale, who is one Of the at Jolneys for the local owners of stock, was asked yesterday for the latest de vclopments in the case. He said that the only information he could give out uf m important nature, related to the extension of the time granted the de fendants.
 Opposition to the sale of the prop erty to those who are now developing it. should there be any" said he, will depend altogether on whether or not we succeed in proving this stock has been illegally issued by the directors. am not in 8 position to say whether or not there will be any opposition to the sale.
 If the defendants make their an swer on next Friday, I do not believe that the case will go to trial before next May. There are number of pre-, hminaries to be arranged by both sides of the case. We are and have been ready for some time" It is understood that the second pay ment on the South Bisbee by the present owners depends on the out ! come of this important case.

brought out in the testimony. Dunn went on the stand and swore that he had not given the woman the white nowder, but had seen her take some thing. which she said was medicine. He denied emphatically that he had taken a bottle of morphine from the room of another woman. shortly be- fore he is alleged to have administered morphine to the woman.
 ''I do not think it is right that the death Of th5 woman, should go like this" said Kreale yesterday, "I saw Dunn give the woman a white powder on the end of knife more than once, and am convinced that this Is what caused her death.
 "Yes, am positive that it was Dunn who gave it to her was in the room at the time, and saw it done. NIT. Ruppert was there. too, and he will swear that he saw the woman given a white powder.
 Tt is not true that there was an op- eration performed upon Mrs. FOrnason a few days before she died have known her for several months. Over a year ago she separated with her husband at Tucson, and since that time had been supporting three chii. dren. Her husband is sea captain, and she was on the water with him for a long time"
 The deceased woman vas buried yesterday from the undertaking par lors, Rev. Mir Shields officiating.

 The force of men at the smelter is being gradually increased, with indi- cations that the United Verde will be employing more men within the next thirty days than at any time hereto fore, says the Jerome Reporter. The five, six and seven hundred foot levels are being opened up from the new shaft Two of the small furnaces are in operation and third ready to be BlowD in, which is to be followed soon, so il is understood, by fourth of the same size. The large five hundred ton furnace will require at least another week to complete it. There will be no dearth of men when they are required; every train coming in brings men seek ing employment. Many of those coming dn are men laid off when the mine and smelter were shut down.

He may not haYe nickel, but his

WHITE AVALANCHE
CAME YESTERDAY,
Fleecy Pours in at Lively
RATES
Two HUNDRED BALES ARRIVED
Americas Buyers Still Paying Highest
Prices and Farmers are Pleased
Excellent Rersapas To-day and To-
morrow Expected.

King Cotton came to Americas, his
favorite capital yesterday, and royal
homage was done the monarch of the
south. The coming of his majesty was
not altogether unexpected, but the
''multitudinous" manner in which he
arrived was most pleasing.
For receipts were very much better
than anyone expected.
It was known that picking had
progressed favorably during the week,
but it was believed that the bales
would be held back for the time and
rushed in today.
But the prevailing prices, 124 to 128
cents, was too tempting to be long
withstood and farmers, very wisely, are
marketing their cotton just as rapidly
as possible. Many four and six mule
teams hauling cotton were driven to
town yesterday.
From Sumter and other nearby coun-
ties the cotton rolled here.
Americus has long been recognized
as the best interior market in south.
west Georgia, and this season, az
heretofore, the host of buyers here are
paying TIE very highest prices.
And with the cotton bales comes al
excel lent trade for the busy, hustling
advertising merchant. Every bale
sold nets from $50 to 1856, and liberia
price for cotton makes liberal buyel
of other goods. And this means more
prosperity for busy Americas.
And while yesterdays receipts wer'
good, they will be better today. Yes
terday we received 235 bales, and viii
double that number today.
