Gold in Granite at Kingman,

One of the greatest gold excite ments in the history of Arizona is now on at Kingman. R. A. Curley, a min- ing man from Denver a few weeks ago discovered that great reefs Of what was supposed to be granite three miles south of Kingman carried gold values from $1O to $lOO per ton. He asso- ciated with him NJ. B. Carpenter and Sullivan brothers, lawyers and bank CTS Of Denver, and purchased the sum.
 The find leaked out and for two days every man in kingman was out locat- ing ground. New discoveries are be- ing made daily and the rush from the outside camps is nprecedented. Every train brings new gold seekers from California, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado.
 Hundreds Of men are now Tn the gold fields and many rich specimen $ are being secured. The country for miles north and south of the Santa Fe railroad is dotted with location mon- uments. Denver and Idaho mining men now on the ground say the field is far ahead of Cripple Creek or even the great blanket deposits of South Africa and predict that kingman will be the mining center of Arizona in few months

BROKE FARO BANK.
Man Who Devised a New Anti-Tiger
 Combination.

Governor Brodie Of Arizona has granted parole to George Wohlschla- gel. convicted of robbery in Cochise county. in 1900, and sent 10 the peni- tentiary for five years. The parole was granted on the request of num- erously signed petition from residents or CJchise county and endorsed by the board or control and the superinten- dent of the territorial penitentiary that Wohlschlagel had been a model convict.
 It was also shown that he had been a hard working man with penchant for faro. Ever man who plays faro figures for himself com bination for the bea ting Of the game. WOhl7chla- gel had done so, but it always appeared a. it does with all com binatiOns formed for that purpose that there was a weak place in it. Then Wohlsch!agel thought Of another com binatiou that he was sure would work and it did. II was the simple process of holding d revolver at the head of the croupier and compelling him to empty the bank roll into a bag in the hands of con- federate. The confederte was a man by the name Of Raymond Overns, and between them they broke bank in Bisbee one night. They were subse- quently captured.

Blast Furnace Smelling with Oil.

A smelting test was made in Tucson yeterday, in water jacket blast fur mace. with crude oil as fuel. Neither coke nor charcoal was used. The ore was copper sulphide, carrying IA per cent. copper, s per cent. zinc and 2i per cent. sulphur, which was charged into the furnace without roasting, to- octher with the necessary fluxes. pro- duclng matte containing 90 per cent. copper. About ten tons Of ore were smclted in eight hours. The furnace used is an ordinary water jacket, thir- ty-siX inches in diameter, fitted up with four oil burners. annexed to com bustion chambers, whereby the oil is made into g flame and mixed with the blast under heavy pressure is forced into and through the oil, producing q roasting and smelling action at the same time. This furnace will make q saving of from two to three dollars per ton of ore smelted, and will en- tirely do away with the roasting of sulphide ore. The ore can be taken directly from the mine and smelted, and it may be destined by this process to revolutionize local smelting. The furnace doing this work was invented by Mr. Kemp, an educated and ex- perienced metallurgical engineer of this city, who, for seven years, was in the employ of Levinohn Brothers. This invention will be a great bon auza for the owuers.-Star.

 The report has been published in the Arizona papers telling Of the am bush and killing of Frank r. Caldwell by James M. Gould, near San simon. The only evidence that this is true is the known fact that Caldwell was found dead, having been shot, that Caldwell and Gould each had threat cned To kill the other, that Gould had disappeared, aud an empty shell had been found behind bush, indicating ambush. Gould has gone to Mexico, but before he went he met Wm. Nor ri-. of Stcin'7 Pass and told him he had killed Caldwell, but had to do so. He said he was walking along the trail not knowing Caldwell Was any where near him when he met him. Caldwell pulled his pistol and com mcuccd shooting. in self defence Gould had To shoot. and was luckier than Caldwell, for he got his man, and then skipped. He said that inc took the empty shell from his gun and threw it aside. If it fell behind q bush, and thus give rise 10 the theory of ambush it was an accident.
