to 2 by an experience covering many
years.
"a noticeable fact about the whole
thing is that none of its attractions
have been over advertised-none of
them appear to be fakes and none of
them are disappointing. Mr.. Reiss
thinks that it is better to dwell upon
the merits of his show with too little
enthusiasm and let the people get
more than they expect than to over
extoll its merits and let his visitors
go away with a feeling of dissatisac-
tion. The motto of the show is: The
public is our best advertisers, and il
that public is agreesbly surprised
with what it sees it Will tell its
friends and they will come.
"Many we're the favorable comments
that we're passed upon the show. Es-
pecially by the visitors to Ell Paso-
people who have seen carnivals and
street fairs all over the country, and
all give the same verdict. The best
show of the kind that l ever saw
1.-The Stadium is by far the biggest
and most popular thing on the
ground, and yesterday afternoon
brought in a big crowd for an after
noon performance.
1.-The Incompatible free acts given
by the carnival company are way
above the average for any show. The
high wire walking and the slide for
life are unexcelled anywhere and
Phillon's aerial globe act never fails
to arouse the widest enthusiasm
among the spectators. ="

A Crowned King Killing.

Last Thursday night at Crowned
King, a row started between a negro
lad about twenty years of age known
as Crockett Robinson, and a Mexican
lad, about the same age, Both parties
had been drinking and the quarrel
started over a colored woman of i'll
fame. AS result of the quarrel the
negro stabbed the Mexican with a
pocket knife. Both we're arrested and
Saturday night it was thought the
Mexican's condition was critical and
both were brought to PRESCOTT, the in
jured man dying soon after reaching
this city. An autopsy showed that
death was the result of the cut and
the negro was held under a charge of
murder.
This morning Deputy District At
torney j. E. Morrison, went out to
Crown King to find out all the par
ticulars possible about the matter and
the preliminary examination of Robin
son will take place Thursday.
The dead mans name is not known
at this time but it is understood that
his father lives in San Antonio, Texas,
but the officers have not been able to
locate him. 1t is likely he will be
buried as a county poor.

A Church Meeting.

\ pa,ty of six or eight Presbyterian
ministers were aboard today's north
bound train en- route to Flagstaff
where the presbytery of that denomin-
alton for Arizona will convene this
evening. Among the number on the
train we're Rev. L. A. McAfee of Pie
nix who informed the Journal Miner
representative that the session of the
presbytery would continue till Friday
noon. after which a meeting of all
those engaged in mission work among
the Indians would be held. Among
those en- route to Flagstaff, Mr..
McAfee said, was Rev. c. H. Cook,
Of Sacatou, who has been working as
a missionary among the Indians of
Arizona since 1870, and has baptized
thousands of Indians. Seven churches,
two mission stations and one training
school are among the direct results of
Rev Cooks work.

Platt Is Acquitted.

A jury in Phenix returned a verdict
that A. A. Pratt was not guilty of en-
bezZlement of funds from the Wicken-
burg pOstoffiee. He was charged with
issuing two money orders in Phenix
from which he had received money,
and not only that but the transaction
was proven on him. He claimed that
it was a simple mistake such as had
been made in that Office before and
that after all the government had lost
nothing, the amount of the discrep-
ency having been made good by the
postmaster, George E. Saunders.
The fact that the government had
been reimbursed seems to have been
the fact that the jury had particularly
in mind all through its deliberations,
says the Republican. The case was
given to the jury on Saturday after
noon and a verdict was not reached
until Monday at II o'clock.
Pratt seems to have made similar
mistakes in the handling of bank
drafts. He was arrested for one of these
"little mistakes and placed in the
county Jail here last September,
where he remained until he was
taken to Phenix, where he has
been in Jail ever since, so that
be has had seven and one half months
residence in the inside of jails for his
erook-beg pardon-mistakes.
Pratt belongs to the ''Smart Set,
he is none of the common ordinary
sort of jail birds, and according to the
Pbenix Republican he has been spend
ing his time in Jail writing stories for
an eastern magazine entitled the
Smart Set" His nom de plume for
these stories is Eli Timberline.
Whether Mr. Pratt will take his de-
parture now for timber line or remain
among the scenes in Arizona which
were formerly familiar to him is not
known. When arrested last fall he
was the guest of a swell summer re-
sort in Utah.

about fifty miles below the Needles.
Is is famous in that part of the coun-
try as it was owned for over thirty
years by Chilly" Mack, who is re-
ported to have taken out large guam
tity of rich ore. Single handed end
alone Mack sunk the shaft to a depth
of 300 feet and exposed a large body
of free gold ore. For years he has
refused to sell or work his property
and many wild stories have been afioa}
concerning the fabulous wealth of the
mine. Mack gave several options on
the property at various times, but
when the options fell due he always
found some way out of a sale. Messrs.
Randall & Forden say that they have
bought the property for themselves
and that they intend to develop it sys-
tematically with modern machinery.

trict and it is their purpose to erect

JIM. Sullivan, president of the Great
Republic Mining company, which
own a number of fine prospects on

that section two or three days ago to
purchase a team of horses for the
mine. He informed the Journal Miner
that his recent trip to Ohio in the in
terest of the property was very salts
factory and he succeeded in raising
sufficient money to put in the new
hosting plant and give them several
thousand dollars to continue the de-
velopment. The main shaft is now
down 900 feet and tunnel is being
driven into the side Of The mountain
Co connect with the shaft. Work Will
also begin at once on another shaft on
the property. A whim will be used
for this work and it was for this pur-
pose that Mr.. Sullivan was looking
for a team. The ew hosting plant
is all ready to operate as soon as the
lumber arrives for the shaft. This
material has been ordered for some
time but has been delayed on the
road and as soon as it arriveds active
work will be commenced. The prop
erty owned by this company carries
its values principally in copper and

tion about thirty or forty miles north

great stories of what they saw and of
what the possibilities of the PROPOSE
tion they examined are. They will
not say exactly where it is located or
anything very definite about it fur
Their than it is one of the most wonder
full deposits of ore they ever saw or
dreamed of. The ledge, they say, crops
out of the mountains for a distance
of about 5000 feet, from 80 to 100 feet
wide and 500 to 700 high and the whole
thing seems to be quartz. They took a
lot of samples and expect to have
them assayed the first of the week.
They only located two claims for they
say that thousand stamp mill could
not use up the ore that sticks out of
the ground in one mans life time,
and if they can get an average valua-
ton of from three to five dollars per
ton they have one of the biggest things
ever discovered. There is enough
water for 100 stamp mill and timber
without limit for mining and fuel
purposes. They are very enthusiastic

John Gray, the we'll known miner,
came in from the Golden Cross min
ing company's properties near Walker
last night. He says work is going
ahead in fine shape on the property,
which was formerly known as the
Pine Mountain property, and the
showing being made is very fIattering.
He says the Poland tunnel will be
through in about fifteen or twenty
days, as the men on each side can
hear those on the other side working,
the two crews not being over l5O or
200 feet apart. As soon as the tunnel
is through the work of enlarging and
putting it in shape will be pushed
with all possible haste and it is hoped
to have the electric cars running
through the tunnel this summer.
When this result has been attained
there is no doubt of the great good it
is going to do from a mining stand
point for the Poland and Walker dis
tricts and the results will be felt for
good all over the county. 1t is esti-
mated that there will be at least $50,
600 month added to the pay rolls in
those districts. This will mean that
Prescott will sell large quantity of
supplies and many thousands of dol
lars will find their way into the bust
ness channels of thu city.
