COMING HOME.
w. II. kiIIeby Said to Be- Bringing
Story of Great Discovery. -

An Associate Press dispatch
dated San Diego, Aug. 10th, will
be of great interest to many people
in this section of the country who
are well and favorably acquainted
with w. H. Killeby and G. Ramirez
of Nogales who are named in the
dispatch. Mr. Killeby will
arrive in the city Tuesday. Mr.. c.
Ramirez, the custom house broker
who is in the city, says he has
nothing to say for publication at
present; he will hear Mr.. Kille-
by's report first. AS to the rich
ness of his mining concession, his
mind was satisfied on that point
long ago. The gentleman said he
had great confidence in Mr.. Kille-
by's judgment and ability as Il
mining man, and would back up
his report.
The San Diego dispatch says:-
''With a story of fabulous wealth,
richer than any Klondiker,' as he
puts it, w. H. Killeby, who LETT
here a few months ago to hunt up
an ancient channel which he be-
lieves to run the entire length of
the continent from Alaska to Lower
California, has returned from the
lower Coast. He brings with him
Il number of little bottles of heavy,
coarse gravelly gold, as a sample of
what his force of forty-one Iaqui
Indians have been taking out with
dry washers
"killeby has located what he be-
lieves to be the ancient channel,
and according to his story the dry
earth carries bigvalues of just such
gold az he displays. The property
is located on the eastern side of the
San Pedro Martin range of noun
tains, four miles from the Gulf OF
Mexico and about two miles below
the line. He is interested in a
deal with a wealthy resident of No
gales named Ramirez, who secured
the mining concession from the
Mexican government The grant
covers a space of thirty by ninety
miles.
"Killeby, who is now on his way
to Nogales to tell of his find and
plan for further development work
has sunk shaft, he says, to a
+ depth of fifty feet, and no bedrock
has been struck, which carries out
his idea of the old river channel.
He declares his belief that there is
actually more gold in sight than
one thousand men can work in
! forty years

HANDSOME PROSPECTUS.
Gold PIacers Owned by Greene Con.
Gold Co. FabulOusIy Rich.

We are in receipt of a copy of
the prospectus of the Greene. Con-
solidated Gold Company, Colonel
w. G. Greene, president. The COM
pany owns 6,32O.73 acres of placer
ground situated on the Santo Do
mingo river, district of Magdalena,
Sonora, Mexico, where hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of mo-
9ern machinery is being installed
to dredge and handle the millions
of tons of placer ground containing
gold from the size of a pin-head to
nuggets" weighing an ounce or
more. Much of the machinery in
Guiding immense giant pumps for
handling the water, and big steam
shovels have passed through No
gales en- route to Magdalena, So
nora, from where they are being
hauled by teams to La Brisca by
General superintendent Ed. Mas
sey and Il large force of assistants.
The property of the Greene Gold
Company is one of the richest
and most extensive gold properties
in the world and Colonel Greene
has again demonstrated to the
world that he knows a good thing
when he see it, and has the nerve to
back his judgment with money.
Those interested in the Greene Con-
solidated Gold Company, are indeed
fortunate and are to be congrat-
ulated.
Hon. Scott White, Col. Greene's
old friend and associate in the
Greene Consolidated Copper Com
pany, has for the past ten days
been visiting at La Brisca. Mr..
White is a director and assistant
treasurer of the gold company. We
are indepted to him for the pros
pectus above mention. 1t is hand

DISTRICT COURT.
The Legal Mill VIII Commence to
Grind Next Monday.

Next Monday, August 22nd,
Judge Davis will again hold dis
trlct court at this place to finish up
the legal business commenced in
June. when the grand jury was ex-
cused from duty because some OF
the prisoners confined in the coun-
ty Jail had been exposed to small
pox short time before court
convened.
A Mexican brought from Wash
ton Camp and confined in the Jail
was sick and later County Physician
Purdy reported that he had small
pox. The sick man was i'm
medialy removed from the Jail to
the pest house, where in short
time he recovered.
The disease did not spread, but
everybody commended Judge Davis
upon the wisdom OF his judgment
in taking the precaution he did.
''An ounce of prevention is worth
Il pound of cure" and next week
the legal mill will commence to
grind as though smallpox had
never been heard of in the land.
Everybody hopes it will grind ex-
ceedingly fnd.-both in the grand
jury room and IN the court room.
The following citizens of Santa
Cruz county-5O trial and 81 grand
jurors-have been selected to look
after the interests of the taxpayers.
The ma joritv of those selected are
representative men who will hew
close to the line; let the chips fall
where they may.

a HOWLING SUCCESS
Was the Smoker Given by the
Redmen "Wednesday Night.

When it comes to giving a free
for-all, go-as-you-please, old-fash-
toned Smoker" members OF Pa
pago Tribe No. II, can give 'em all
cards and spades and then carry
off the honOrs.
The Redmen have for some time,
since they gave their Jolly smoker
in the Masonic Hall several months
ago, been "fretting" milling" and
"hankering" for a blowout" until
finally the Tribe unanimously de-
cided to turn themselves loose
just once, regardless of results
Chiefs r. S. Halke. l.. Lulley and
Bo. J. Whiteside were appointed
committee of three with full power
to ego the limit" The results OF
Wednesday night and early Thurs
day morning are sufficient proof
that they went the limit and then
some.
No invitations were printed
there was no place on the un-writ-
ten program for them-every In
dian, regardless OF tribe was COM
manded to be on hand with his
friend and all of his friends friends
They were all there and it is dollars
to doughnuts, they were glad they
went, for the like of that smoker
was never seen on earth. Fun,
well l guess so. If that smoker
could be reproduced in New York
City, it would make a fortune for
Managers Halke IL Morris and
every member of the large caste of
stars who took part.
The farce comedy sketch, entitled
"The Long Distance Telephone"
was a great success, and will be re-
produced by special request in the
near future Messrs. Dick Halke,
r. +. Morris, Bo. J. Whiteside,
Mark Lulley, Joe and John Teeter,
are in the professional class and
their acting was faultless.
"Under the Anheuser Bush," by
Mr. Ballinger of Wells, Fargo II
Co., was greatly appreciated by all.
Old plantation melodies were
sung by Messrs. Jack Teeter,
"Doc" Messick, Al. Kennedy, r.
Z. Morris, Geo. Ballinger and A.
Garter in their usual 1nimitable
manner, and Col. Allen T. Bird and
Mark Lulley, princes of story tell
ers delighted the large audience.
The swinging of clubs by G. X.
French was very clever and with
out a doubt was the hit of the
evening.
The much tallzel of prize fight of
four hard fought rounds between
Charley Smith. colored light weight
champion of New Mexico, and Ed. L.
McCool, lightweight IF Ell Paso, was
pulled off without police interference
Smith failed to knock McCool out and
the purse was divided between the
contestants.
SaCncn w. "a ~ OOnIOr OF L a
pago Tribe No. IL, was master of
ceremonies and Mrs. Mark Lulley,
seemed from the audiance, presided
at the piano. The thanks of all
are due Mrs. Lulley for her great
kindness in assisting to make the
"smOker" Il success
The refreshment end of the
"blowout" was managed by Chief
l.. Lulley and when it is known
that more than 800 sandwiches and
three barrels OF icy-cold, many
cases OF soda, etc, were placed where
they would do the most good and
many boxes of Las Dos Naciones
Cigars went up in smoke, all will
agree the smoker" was IL bowling

JUST "JOSHING."

Boys Will b. boys and men are only
boys grownup.
A week ago, last Sunday, while
Mr. Harry NJ. Chapman, the genial
Cashier in the U. S Collectors office,
accompanied by Mrs. Chapman and
Mrs Chapman's mother, were taking
a "pasear" on the Nj xican side, Mr.
Chapman was attacked and severely
bitten in the leg by a large black dog
The dos was subsequently shot by the
authorities and during the week fol-
lowing MIR. Chapman went over to the
Mexican side to see that the job was
properly done.
Since the injury he has had much
difficulty in getting about and has been
compelled to use a cane, which fact
evidently aroused the sympathy as well
as the poetry of Inspector Robert
Hannah, OH the line
1t is understood that when the muses.
began working inside of Mr.. Hannah,
he showed symptoms of cholera-mor-
bus, but he responded bravely as fol-
lows:
ODE TO a LEG.

Thou hast bitten my leg and made it run,
And now to the doctor 1 must go
For him my honey leg to show.

And when Chapman again declared to be
sane,
He found himself toting large juicy cane.
When "old Bob" reached second he
was pretty well winded, and quit,
however, he had strength and pres
ence of mind enough left to call in
his neighbor and friend, }. A. Fay
knoxville, the insurance man, who,
seeing that "Bob" was call in" grab
bed the bat and swatted out a home

Now talent like this isn't to be
sneezed at. With the bounteous rains
we have had of late and with poets of
that class i'll our midst Nogales has
nothing to fear. Both the gentlemen
mentioned run pretty good chance of
landing in the poet laureate chair at
the same time and, failing that. they

proved by Commissioners.

majority Of the property owners or resi-
dents Of the side Of the square in which
such place is located. and also the side

APPLIES FOR REFUND.
VIM. B. Creecy Alleges Dual Payment
of Personal Taxes.

Mr.. VIM. B. Creecy of $50 H street north
east has applied to the Commissioners for
a refund of an amount paid by him as per-
sonal taxes on his personal property in the
District on the grounds that he paid the
tax twice. Mr.. Creecy states that he per-
sonally paid the tax to the collector of
taxes, and that about month later his
wife paid the same amount to a collector
who called at his house during his alb
sence.
NJ. Creecy, In commenting on the collec-
ton of personal taxes by direct application,
says: II thought that since the Watson
trouble that the collection of money was
forbidden by any one except the collector.
Can be delegate his powers and bind the
District"
Collector Davis in reporting on the matter
states that there are four employees of his
Office engaged in collecting delinquent per-
sonal taxes. Each collector he says, is
charged with his bills and is checked off
at night for all bills returned. The prac-
tice of collecting by direct demand, he says,
seems to be convenience to the tax pay
ers as well assistance to the Office
in securing prompt payment of the taxes
due the District.

FOES OF UNIONS
MEET TN SECRET.
Employers Consider Methods
Urged as Means Of Protection
Against Strikes.

(. % + ~
New York, April lit has just
leaked out that a secret meeting has
been held here, at which practically
every heavy employer Of labor in the
metropolitan district was represented,
the object being to evolve some meth
cd Of self-protection against present
and future attacks from labor unions.
Absolute secrecy had been enjoined
upon those called to the meeting, and
the hotel where it was held was guard
ed like a besieged city. The meet
ing resolved itself into a sort of ex-
perience recital, where each employer
offered his testimony. Among them
were the photographers, who have
trouble with striking unionists at the
present time; the Typothetae, which
represents the printing trades; the
jewelers., the iron founders, the build
ing trades, embracing among them the
Mason Builders association, the Build
ing Material Dealers, association and
the Employers Building association;
the National jewelers. Security alli-
ance, organizations Of small shop
keepers, such as butchers and grocers,
retail merchants protective organiza-
lions, manufacturers associations and
even, the traction interests and con-
tractors. E..-
Almost every one had the same story
| to tell. Each had felt the strength
| Of unionism and wanted some protec-
| ton. Several advanced original ideas
| for combating what they consider a
| dangerous and powerful force, and
| from these Ideas will be formed at a
| later meeting an organization which
| may become the most formidable al
lance Of employers yet effected. -
