WEAVER RELEASED
Thought There Was Not
Evidence Sufficient.

Norman X. Weaver, who had been
arrested upon the charge of suspicion
of being implicated in some of the
burglaries committed recently in Can
ton, was released Monday evening by
Mayor Smith as 1t was considered that
the evidence against him was not
sufficient to hold him. 1t is believed
by some parties that Willaman was in
Weavers house that night, as the
tracks leading in were small and
Weaver wears No. IL shoe.
To his attorney c. c. Bow, Weaver
made an explanation as to how he
came to have the iron in his posses
sion. He said that Willaman asked
him to go with him after some scrap
iron and he did So not knowing that
it was stolen. Upon his return to Will
aman's Weaver saw piece of iron
and asked for il and Willaman gave
1t to him.

A great mass of evidence has been
already collected by different commit
tees, but much of II is so contradic-
tory that careful sitting will be re-
Quired to reach the facts.
All the fire victims have now been
identified but four and these are so
horribly mutilated that the chances
are very much against their identifi-
cation.
In the hurry subsequent to the fire
there appears to have been claimed
and probably buried some bodies that
did not belong to those who claimed
them. the Identification being faulty.
This is the fear that is haunting

Mrs. Greenwald and her son Le-
roy, We're among those who attended
the matinee at the Iroquois last We'd
nesday and have not been heard OF
since. Today Greenwald went to the
county morgue in the hope of identify
ing his wife, who he was informed
was lying there. The popularity by
which attendants assured themselves
as to the identity of the corpse con
sisted of web feet.
Upon examining me body and cloth
ing closely Greenwald discovered the
body was not that of his wife. In
quiry developed the fact that another
web footed woman and a child had
been removed and buried.

Many Evidences Of Gross Negligence

Survivors - Windows, Through

of course have not yet progressed far enough to determine the ex- tent of the ore body. Both MT. Foltz and Mir. Giroux have worked in the mine before, n | are familiar with the location of all the old ore bodies.
 Kingman Miner: Last night Walter Brown and John Harris brought in from the Gold Road mill two bars of bullion valued at $30,000, the. result of seven days run of the cyanide plant. This the biggest shipment ever made from the mill and shows the increased values in the ores from the surface and four hundred foot level. The men say that they never saw such a mass of ore as is exposed on the 400 level of the Gold Road, where four machines are driving drifts ahead and opening up great backs of ore.

MINING NEWS.

gll Company yesterday placed an order for single stamp Nissen mill which they intend to use as a sampling mill on their properties near Martinez. Charley Genung says the company has many loca- tions. each differing from the other in the quality of its ore and 1t Is their intention to go slow and not spend money uselessly, and when all has been determined as to the best means of working the whole property, then they will go ahead in earnest.
 Courier: F. NJ. Sentenney has struck ledge of ore on Wolf creek, about eight miles south of Prescott, which gives an assay value of over 30 ounces gold per ton. MT. Sen tenney showed the Courier re- porter the assay returns of 25O pounds of the ore, which he says was not picked ore, but represented the entire vein, which Is one foot wide. The assay gave values per ton as follows: Gold 2040 ounces; silver. 155 ounces; value in gold per ton $6OS; silver, $7.S0, making a total valne of S6l5.S0 per ton.
 Journal Miner; The Kingman Miner reports the sale by Henry Levin, of the old Cupel mine, Stockton hill, to w. H. Cushing, of Topeka Kansas. The Cupel has been one of the greatest producers of silver in the Wallapai mining district, having produced in the neighborhood of $500,000 since its discovery. The main shaft has reached depth of 400 feet on the incline, and while the rich ore above that point has been stopped to considerable extent in the 2S0-foot shaft of the Cupel vein proper there is fine showing of 400 ounce ore. It is supposed that company will be organized to work the mine.
 International American: B. F.. Graham, of Fl Tigre, is spending few days at El Paso on business. Mir. Graham stated that the latest news from the mine was to tn e effect that the work in the tunnel where the new strike was reported two weeks ago was proving to be better then had been expected. When the ore vein was encountered in the tunnel itwas followed and has now been prospected for distance of forty feet. It is five feet wide and is yielding milling ore, also a large percentage of shipping ore that will run from $l00 to S200 to the ton. The plans for the new mill have not all been completed, but they will soon be ready, when the mill will be hurried to com pletion. At Tigre station on the Nacozari railroad a depot is being built by the railroad company which will be the best on that line. It is expected that Tigre station will become one of the largest on the line.
 Journal Miner: Word has been received in Prescott to-day that Ed. Foltz and Frank Giroux, who have lease on 100 feet of the north tunnel of the great Peck mine, had made one of the richest strikes during the past two days that has ever been made in the mine-a property renowned for the rich ore which it has produced.
