THE ANDERSON TRIAL
The Chief Witness for the Territory
 Has Finished.

The trial of Josiah Anderson for the killing of William Cameron was begun in the district court yesterday. The defense filed motion for a continu- arce, basing it upon an affidavit that an important witness was missing and could not be found. The court did not think the affidavit was sufficient. He would allow the defense to file another, but he intimated that if the continu- ance was granted, in view of the serI- ousness of the case. the defendant would he remanded to jail without bail. The motion was then withdrawn, and the business of selecting the jury was begun.
 There was a venire of fifty, and when the names of the members were called something happened that the oldest habitues of the district court of this county had never seen before. Every member was present to answer to his name. The venre was made up en- tirely of farmers and business men, and it was regarded as the best that had ever been selected in this county. The greater part of the afternoon was spent in getting the jury, composed of the following persons: c. A. Stewart, L. L. Plank. R. M. Hackett, C. R. Price. Grant Jones. F. w. Hunt, P. T.. Hurley, Charles Walters, w. E. Dent, Al Shoot, S. s. Green and O. S. Stap- ley.

WONDERFUL ACTIVITY.
There Is No Let Up on Development
 Work.

George C. Clark. the well-known mining an metallurgical engineer of this city. states that in all his years of experience in mining. he never saw more substantial activity in any dis trict in the west than is now visible in the Warren district, says the Bisbee Review. It has now been definitely as- sured tht six, and perhaps seven, new development shafts will be sunk on properties lying between the Calumet & Bisbee and the Copper Glance prop critics.
 At the Ivanhoe group. adjoining the Calumet and Cochise, at Franks Gap, a shaft is to be sunk and arrangements have been fully completed for starting the work.
 Next, continuing southeast comes the Bisbee Queen. This property is owned by the company recently pro- noted by B. F. Graham and his asso- ciates. which is an assurance that therl will be no lack of energy in pushing development work on this property on a large scale Machinery has already been ordered for work on one shaft and 9 second shaft is in contemplation.
 Adjoining the Bisbee Queen. and in- clu Ing the Gold Hill district. work will start at once on the Woodman and Tate properties. this group having been transferred by sale to Pittsburg cap italists, who will spare no energy or necessary means of thoroughly eX- plotting these mines.
 At the -ortage Lake property. which also joins the Bisbee Queen on the south. machinery has been ordered and is now on the road. As soon as this machinery arrives the present force al work will be doubled.
 A little farther on. in the same d. recticn, is the Solomon Springs prop erty These mines were thoroughly examined two weeks ago by pr. Hub bard state geologist of Michigan, for parties in that state. So highly did this expert recommend the proposition a sale was the immediate result and ar rangements are now being made to be- gin sinking a shaft and the necessary arrangements are now being made to begin sinking shaft and the neces- sary machinery for that purpose wil! be installed at the earliest possible time
 The money is said to have been paid by the company, who recently pur- chased the Red Cliff property from PriChard & Williams. A complete sur vey of this group is now being made by Clarkes engineering company and important development work will be inaugurated very soon.

claims. and is considered by mining men to be a good valuation.
 The name Of the new company will be the Quincy and Arizona. and the men behind it are Michigan capitalists, who will probably take immediate steps to develop their holdings.
 The claims are located in a section Of the district that has long been look ed upon as enc of the most promising The presence of ore is plainly marked by surface indications.
 Some of the capitalists interested in the property are now in the city, and it is expected that before leaving Bis bee they will map out ap Ian that will be fellow cd in the development of thelr claims.
