Martinez was arrayed in gala at
tire on the 9Th instant. Not often
has the little village witnessed a
wedding ceremony. Most OF her
inhabitants who have taken up
connubial duties have thought it
proper to go away somewhere and
get married, and, when it was an
nOunced that two OF the most
prominent young people OF the vii
lage would be married right here
in Martinez, there was much hustle
getting ready for the event.
The ladies all had their prettiest
gowns fixed up, and the men had
laid aside their best neckties- and
bought new bottle OF shoe polish
to get ready for the occasion. But,
alas, Fate has intervened.
George Henry Stillman, who was
to be the happy groom, left here OF
the 25th of March to 90 to King
man on business, with the inten-
ton of returning April 1st. Ar
irving at Kingman, where he had
expected to meet some Salt LAX
City capitalists, with whom he wa
figuring on a mining deal on some
properties in the Cbimehuavas, ht
received a telegram from his par
ties, saying that they would be un-
avoidably delayed for few days,
and, as he had arranged to be mar
ried on the 9th, and having a bill to
collect at Rosenberry's ranch, about
nine miles from the Needles, he
boarded the train on the morning
of the 29th Of March and went to
Needles and from there started out
to Rosenberry's sanch. This is the
last that has been heard from him.
In fact, all of this is not known,
but this much can be figured out
with reasonable certainty, for he
wrote to his sister, Laura, who lives
in Prescott and told her to be sure
and be ready to come down with
him from Prescott on the I'd of
April to attend the wedding, and
at the same time he wrote to his
bride-to-be, Miss Winters, here. In
these letters he told his plans. The
letters were written on the 2Sth,
from Kingman. Even though he
failed to appear or write up to the
time set for the marriage, there
was still hope that he would be on
hand at the right time, But train
after train failed to bring any
George, or any news Of him. Every
body became interested. Young
men jokingly said, eff he doesn't
come, will take his place" But
it has ceased to be any joke. Mr.,
Stillman is still absent and silent.
The bride is in tears and her fam
lily in the deepest trouble. Mr..
Rogers, his stepfather, left yester-
day morning to follow his course
and see if he can find anything as
to his whereabouts. A telegram

WIcKENBURG, April s. = Miss
Margaret O'Neili, who has been
visiting her old friend and class
mate. Miss Caroline Burson, for
several months, left Wednesday for
her home in the East When we
saw "old friend" we do not mean to
say that either of the ladies IS at
all old. for thev are both young
and charming. Miss O'Neill has
bv her winsOme manner won many
friends during her stay here. She
is a musician of high merit and
has made many hours pass quickly
and pleasantly by her magic skill
while here. Your correspondent
wishes her safe trip home, and
hopes that she may be with us
again some time in the future.
Mrs. G: B. Upton and sister,
Mrs. Sanborn, have gone to PhOe-
nix on a visit. Mrs. Sanborn is
here from Minneapolis, Mimi, on
an extended visit with the Uptons
at the Orc Grande.
J. /. Bachtiger, postmaster at
Wickenburg, spent part OF the
week in Phoenix as witness IN
the case of the United States against
A. A. Pratt for embezzlementW while
assistant postmaster at Wicken-
burg, under G. f. Sanders as post
master. Pratt had an eye to busi-
ness. He drew money orders for
800 ard then entered them up in
his reports to the Government for
only 81. By this method he sue
ceeded in getting about $500 OF
Uncle Sans money.
Pratt was we'll known in Wick
enburg and was highly respected
bv the citizens thereof until he
was indicted for trying to do the
Bank of Arizona at Prescott out OF
$500 draft of A. w. Colvin, at
that time president OF the Angel
Mining Company. The charge OF
forgery in the draft matter was
withdrawn by District Attorney
Clark, in order to save the county
the expense of prosecution, mas
much as the United States had a
case against him that was sure to
send him over the road for as long
as any one wanted to see him i'm
prisoned.
Mr.. Pratt has been in jail for
several months now, and it is told
around by folks that should know
that Pratt has. said that if he is
sent to the pen that he will not go
alone. This has long been the
opinion of great many people
the assumption being that he had
accomplices in the matter. 1t is
said by some that he intends tc
try to lay the blame for his wrong
doing on Mr.. Sanders, who was
postmaster at that time As tc
whether such an accusation against
Mr.. Sanders can be made to stick
we doubt very much. The most
that might be expected would be
that Mr.. Sanders and his bonds
men are responsible for the amount
OF money stolen by Pratt and his
pals, for he would have to have haC

For Working the Rincon
Property
TWENTY MEN ARE EMPLOYED
And Many More Will Be Required
as Soon as the Different Hoist
ing Works Are Completed

w. c. De Almond, president of
the Rincon Mines Company, ac-
companied by Thomas G. Hunter,
a director of the company, both of
Philadelphia, are here with their
families. Wells II. Bates, also a
director, is here from Los Angeles,
Cal, and all are guests at the Mar
tinez Hotel.
They are going over the property
of the company together and form
ulating specific plans as so the best
method of working the mine and
handling the ores. Mr.. Bates said
TO News-Herald reporter that he
had littleto say asto the plans of the
company. When asked about work
at the mine, he said: "There are
twenty men at work now and many
more will be required as soon as
the different hoisting works are
completed. The operations in the
immediate future will consist of
development work on an extensive
scale, and reduction works will be
installed soon" Mr. Bates, as we'll
as the other gentlemen, have been
very conservative as to the values
carried by the ores in the now we'll
nigh famous Welcome group, and
on the dump of the mine, but it
has been learned from conversation
with miners who are working there
that much of the ore is fabulously
rich.
A good story never gets old. We
have many times in our columns
referred to the progress of this
property, and have pointed out the
benefits that this immediate Sec
ton will derive from the operation
of the property. The property lies
just about midway between the
Congress and Octave mines, and is,
by straight line, not more than
five miles from either. When this
property is n operation and on a
paying basis, which cannot be
much longer of accomplishment, it
will form one more link which is to
convert this section into chain of
great gold producers. And it's op-
Grafton will mark the beginning of
a new era for this section, which
will not close until many fortunes
have been wrested from Natures
hidden recesses.
The visit of these gentlemen
likely settles the question of the
manner of operation of the prop
erty. They have said little as to
their inside plans, perhaps for the
reason that it is usually necessary
in every m n n g proposition
to modify plans to suit new
conditions which arise as the de-
velopment of the property pro-
crosses, but everything indicates that
the company, which, by the way,
seems to be a financially strong
one, means to operate the property
in a business-like manner. This
being done, success will be their
reward and we wish them good luck
in the accomplishment of this end.

Tinted Spectacles For Beauty.

"Tinted spectacles," said an opt-
clan who displays sign advertising
that he makes a speciality Of them,
"are mainly for women who demand
that their beauty, as we'll as their
sight, shall be considered. A light
gray or a pale blue looks very weak
and unattractive through ordinary
eyeglasses. BY slightly tinting the
lens we can add very much to the
color of the pupil Of the eye and to
the general attractiveness Of the face.
The tinting does not at all interfere
with the magnifying properties Of the
glass. In fact, some oculists send US
prescriptions for tinted glasses, main
tanning that for blue or gray eyes they
are far superior to the ordinary erys-
tai glasses. Blue eyes absorb more
light than brown eyes, 80 that any
tempering of the suns rays is sure to
be beneficial" New York Times. I.

the testimony of the witnesses spza-
moned by those who have opposed
General Woods confirmation The
Whole influence of the administration
was back Of him, and while E1ndivfd-
ual republican senators have said they
would not have voted for confirmation
had they not previously pledged them
selves to do so, there has never been
any real doubt of the result. The vste
was As to Is.
The late Senator Hanna was recog.
nized as tie leader Of the forces ep-
posed to General Wood, and had it
not been for his death before the
disposition Of the case, it is conceded
that the vote would have been mush
closer. It has not been believed ut
any time since the contest opened,
however, that the fight against con-
frmation would have been successful.
Only two republicans remained in the:
minority. They were Senator Scott,
Of West Virginia, member Of the
military affairs committee, who o.
posed the nomination while 1t was
! pending in the committee, and Seaa-
tor Kittridge, Of South Dakota.
Five democratic senators voted with
the majority in favor Of confirmation.
They were Senator Cockrell and Sena-
tor Pettus, who, as members OF the
military affairs committee, heard all
| the testimony against General Wood,
and Senator Patterson, Senator Clarke,
Of Arkansas, and Senator Dubois. The
negative vote on the confirmation was
as follows:
Bacon, Berry, Blackburn, CLARK, Of
Montana; Culberson, Gibson, Latimsr,
! MoCreary, McLaurin, Mallory, Martin,
Money. Newlands, Simmons, all dem
ocrts, and Kittridge and Scott, repub-
| licans
After a vote had been reached, Sen
ator Foraker moved to make the vote
public, and Senator Blackburn moved
to make public the testimony had be-
) fore the committee on military affairs
The motion in regard to the testimony
was voted down, and the general M
derstanding was that the vote was to
be given out. In the confusion, how
ever, the announcement was made that
both motions were lost. No speeches
were made. -.
