Mohave County miner., 1904-05-21

Never before in the history of the camp have the mines looked as good as they do today, and every day word Is brought in of another new find that will probably rival some of the biggest mines in camp. These new strikes do not come from any one particular sec. tion, but from all parts of the district. Specimens were brought up from the Golden Terra mine this week that were literally plastered over with gold, the gold extending all through the solid quartz. To guess at the value of this ore, one would have 10 go away up int o the thousands of dollars, and now comes word from the Em pire that the recent strike of rich sulphide ore that assayed over thousand dollars to the ton, has increased in width and values as the tunnel is driven in the hill
 With the producing mines that Searchlight has today, and an assur ance that fonr more will be added to the list within few months, and the great number of promising pros poets that are being opened up, Searchlight can reasonably count on being the com ing gold camp of the west.-Searchligh ht (Nev0 Searchlight.

Who Hesitated Between Choice.

Frogs are birds. Frog legs are
chicken le=s!"
Such is the dictum of the Treasury
Department. after three months of cogi-
tation and consultation. The question
arose over the admission OF Canadian
frog legs. Appraisers were assessing
them at 10 per cent, on the ground that
they were raw or manufactured ar
ticles. which. to the lay mind. would
seem to be a natural classification. The
uoitor for the Treasury thought other
wise-despite the fact that frog legs
are certainly raw and unmanufactured.
Perhaps a midnight supper OF frogs
legs and things which generally go
with such suppers had bred nightmares
In the auditorial mind, and he thought
they should be classed as horse flesh.
No matter what view the Auditor took
the department. arrived at the remark
able conclusion that frogs were chickens
which should be a great comfort to
colored brothers who live near mill
ponds.
This decision is about as remarkable
as that some time ago that snails were
wild animals. Another case which
puzzled the department was that Of a

With the exception OF the trial Of one
OF the thirty-six eases growing out Of

gress. the business Of the criminal diyis-
ion OF the District Supreme Court is 1t
a standstill. That this is so is not the
fault Of the District Attorneys Office or
any one OF the six members of the Dis
trict Supreme Court bench. The condi-
tion which confronts members OF the

safely be attributed to the fact that un-

sible for the present number of members

Board of Education Has
Approved the Plan.
STARTED BY MRS. GITTERMAN
Bill in Congress Providing $4,000 TO
Carry on This Work of
Instruction

The hill introduced in Congress ap-
propriating 5000 for a course OF free
public lectures in the District meets
with the hearty support of members of
the Board of Education. BY the pro-
visions of the bill the Board is given
charge of the lectures. and that the
members will do all in their power to
further the project is indicated by their
recent approval of the plan.
The matter was brought to the atten-
tion OF the Board by Mrs. John NJ Git
terman. of New York. who is now re-
siding in Washington. Mrs. Gitterman
made a study Of the public lecture sys-
tenn in use in New York, and sought the
cooperation of the board in appealing
to Congress for an appropriation TO car
ry out the work
Mrs. Gitterman's idea is to arrange
a series of lectures for the benefit Of
the people. The lectures are to embrace
educational and popular subjects. and
as a matter Of economy may be delivered
in school buildings.
Works in New York.
In submitting her proposition to the
Board, Mrs. Gitterman announced that
the system has been inaugurated in
New York with great success. A large
appropriation has been made for the
work. and the plan is operated on an
elaborate scale. This may be seen by
the fact that the person in charge OF
the course receives a yearly salary OF
5000. more than the sum asked for
the entire work in the District.
While the proposition is heartily in
dorsed by the Board of Education, and
the members have expressed themselves

OVER POLITICS
TWO OLD MEN oUARRELED AND
ONE FATALLY SHOT THE
OTHER.

Huntington, w. Va. Oct. 12.-Solo-
mon Dishman, middle aged man, who
lives on Big Sandy river near Fort Gay,
near the breakers, met death instantly
tonight while participating in a very
heated political argument with Walter
Fremont an aged neighbor, who was
years ago connected with the old Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, when Vice
Presidential Candidate Davis was en-
gagged on that line. 1t was the con-
troversy over the latter that incensed
Fremont until he became wildly ex-
cited, pulled a revolver and shot Dish
man through the heart. The affair
created tremendous excitement
throughout the region and Freemonts
advanced age was all that saved him
from being roughly dealt with. Both
men had been drinking.

at Terry with a shotgun infiicting
slight wounds upon two other men but
missing Terry. Teel was jailed and
placed under bonds. He thereupon
swore out a warrant charging Terry
with seduction and abortion. Since
then there has been anticipation Of
trouble. Teel was at once taken into
custody and the officers hurried him to

Lisbon, Oct. 12.-After being in ses-

cases, examined 1882 witnesses and ig-
nored 32 of the complaints brought
to it's attention.
The authorities refused to give out
the names of those indicted, but 1t Is
known that three of the findings are
for murder.
Lottie Skiles of East Liverpool was
indicted for shooting DR.. Howard, col
ored; William Dechant, of East Liv-
erpool, was indicted for shooting his
wife, and Joseph Desmonti, an Ital.
ian, was held for the shooting of an.
other Italian at Wellsville.
1t is said that large number Of the
indictments are against liquor deal
ers in various parts of the county. 1t
is expected that some of the other in
dictments will be of a sensational
character and there is uneasiness felt
in some quarters.

Drygoods Jobbine Concerns
of the Country.

New York, Oct. 12.-An involuntary
petition in bankruptcy was filed late
today against the firm of Sweetser,
Pembrook & Co., of No. 376 Broadway
with the clerk of the United States
district court The petition was pre-
sented by three creditors-The Arnold
Print Works with a claim of $4,000;
A. d. Julliard & Co. with claim OF
$12,O21 and Lawrence 6 Co. with a
claim of 36,663.
Judge Holt appointed George B. Put
nam of No. II East Forty-fourth street
and William NJ. Haines of Englewood,
n. j., receivers with bond OF 100000.
The firm admits insolvency.
With the death of j. Howard Sweet
ser, president of the firm in May of
this year. the public was surprised to
learn that the financial condition of
Sweetser, Pembrook & Co. was not
good.
The announcement that the firm was
going out or business came as sur
prise. The advisory committee roughly
estimated then, from inventories hur-
riedly prepared, that the corporations
stock on hand was valued at sl,200,000.
1t was estimated that all creditors
could be paid in full and that $247,000,
less the expense of the liquidation,
could be paid to the holders Of $780,
900 worth of preferred stock.
Charitable institutions that accepted
the preferred stock Of the company in
settlement of bequests amounting to
about $3.50, 900 under the will of George
d. Sweetser, who died in 1900, will
probably be losers to considerable ex-
tent.
