SONORA SETTINGS.


 year, has returned to Arizona, and is now at Douglas.
 From Los Chinos mountains, near the junction of the Sahuaripa and Yaqui rivers come well authen- ticaied reports of extensive devel- opments in a mining property of great extent and value. The Cadena de Cobre (Chain of Copper) conn pany, q Bisbee corporation. has sew eral Announcements upon one of which they have run a tunnel sev- eral hundred feet, developing eighty feet of ten per cent copper ore. Several other parties have valuable properties in the vicinity upon which work doing has made fine showing.
 F. E. Mills, president, L. D. Ballou, secretary, and J c. Perkey of the Southern Sonora Develop ment, passed through Nogales Sunday en route to Alamos district where the company has valuable mining and land interests, includ- ing the famous old Santo Domingo, which is reported to have encount- cred ore of high grade at the bot tom of the 300 foot shaft. The new railroad project being built out of Guaymas into this district will be of greal importance to the above mentioned company and others in the Alamos country.
 Yaquis are reported to have committed depredations recently in the region along the Moctezuma river and eastward. At Douglas Tuesday THE OASIS editor was in- formed that information had come there that seven men had been killed recently between San Pedro
 "a town just above Batuc-and La Junta, at the junction of the Tepa chi river with the Moctezuma, and one day last week a band of Ya- quis are alleged to have attacked three Mexicans, whom they cap- tured and mutilated. One they cut out his eyes, another's ears were cut off, and the third had the soles Of his feet cut off.
 From Mir. Ed Chamberlain, SUD- erintendent for the Yaqui Copper Company, whose extensive prop critics at Santo Nino in the Sahua- ripa district of Sonora have been heretofore described in THE OASIS, it is learned that recent work has developed very large and valua- ble ore body in new ground that had not been prospected before Mr. Chamberlain took charge early last year. Going 2200 feet below the old workings, at the points de- signated as Tunnels A and B. down into the canon toward the river, Mr. Chamberlain devoted his attention to operations at that point, and his labors have been rewarded by uncovering an ore body three thousand feet long, from sixty to one hundred feet wide, which he has carefully sampled and tested, getting from numerous samples an average of eight dollars gold, per ton, two ounces in silver and fifteen per cent copper.
 Mr. Homer Prickett, proprietor of the Hotel Roy at Douglas, many years a conductor on the Sonora railway, in partnership with Mir. sam Supplee, owns the Ruth mine, in the vicinity of El Tigre, in the Moctezuma district, that is making

erty, and is yielding ore that will mill several ounces in the yellow metal, and all going less than two ounces per ton is thrown over the dump. Mir. Supplee, who is in charge of the work. has arranged to have the high grade ore worked at the new mill recently erected at the Santa Rosa mine, near Colonia Morelos, about five miles away, and trail is building over which to pack he ore. In another claim, named the Eligra, owned by the same two gentlemen, a discovery of rich gold ore was recently made 5y n prospector, who was greatly shocked to learn that the ground wherein lay his valuable discovery was already denounced.

LEE TOY TELLS
HIS HISTORY

Judge de Haven announced yesterday
morning at the opening of the United
States District Court that he would
deny the motions made on the preced-
ing day to strike out all the testimony
of the slave girls Leung All Duck, Lee
Gum Kew, Yuen Tsoy Fong and Chun
Ho relating to conversations had be-
tween them and lie Toy and Da Silva
on board the steamship Doric on the
way from China to this city. The
court also denied the motion to in
struct the jury to acquit.
Judge de Haven said that in deny
ing the motions he did not wish to be
understood as expressing any opinion
whatever as to the merits of the case.
He wished to be understood simply as
ruling that there was sufficient evil
dence to carry the case to the jury.
Lee Toy, one of the defendants, was
then placed on the stand by his counsel,
Bert Schlesinger and Samuel M. Short
ridge. Lee Toy was dressed in Ameri-
can costume, without queue and
spoke in English without the aid of an
interpreter. He said that he was AZ
years old and had a wife and two chill
dren in Philadelphia, where he had
been in business for twenty seven years
as merchant in Chinese and Japanese
. goods and curios. He produced papers
showing that he had been awarded the
concession for the Chinese Village at
the ST. Louis Exposition, whereby he
was bound to expend at least 100000 in
fitting up the village and to import
from China not less than 200 nor more
than 500 Chinese men and women to
people the village and portray the typi
cal Chinese life. He assigned this con-
cession to the Chinese Village Com
pany, and as president of the company
went to China to procure the people
necessary. He was still in Hongkong
when the court adjourned for the day
DR.. r. J. Huston, ships surgeon on
board the Doric, testified that two of
the complainant slave girls became in
toxicated on the ge and fell to
fighting and that he had been called by
Lee Toy and Da Silva to dress the lip
of one of the girls which had been cut.
This contradicted the testimony of the
girls. They swore they had been sober
and peaceful.
The trial will be resumed on Monday
morning.

LEGAL EXPERT DWYER
OBJECTS TO QUESTIONS
Counsel i'm Dunsmuir Case Spends
Nearly an Hour in Eliciting
One Answer.

The troubles of an expert on Cali
fornia law were exemplified yester
day during the hearing of the Duns-
muir will contest in the Office of the
British Consul. Following the sharp
encounters during many days between
J. J. Dwyer, the probate law expert,
and Sir Charles H. Tupper, came an
involved technical line of questioning
by L. V. Bodwell who is taking UP
the cross-examination in behalf Of
Edna Wallace Hopper.
After many questions had been
skillfully parried by the witness, who
showed much asperity of temper. a
question was asked by Bodwell which
the witness refused to answer. The
battle ragged for three-quarters of an
hour. before a definite reply was Oh
tained and it took the rest of the day
for ruffied tempers to become smooth
ed. To-day the ross-ques-.oning of
Dwyer will be continued and it is be-
lieved that more verbal and technical
pyrotechnics will be seen.

HUTTON READY
TO MAKE FIGHT
Agrees to Answer Subpoena
and Will Give Testimony
in Case of Sergeant Ellis
NAY CONTEST REMOVAL
Police Board Throws Down
Gauntlet to Grand Jury
and Will Proceed to Act

The long expected war between the
Grand Jury and the Police Commission
opened last evening with a prelim-
mary skirmish on the part of the Com
missioners and a peremptory order
that, Grand Jury or no Grand Jury.
Sergeant Ellis, accused of connivance
with the Chinese gamblers and of
warning them on occasion of certain
raid by Commissioner Hutton, must
explain what he knows about the cor
ruption fund.-
The special session of the Police
| Commission was short. Not over a
half hour was spent in bringing mat
; ters to a head, but in that time there
were introduced several phases of the
situation that give promise OF exciting
times. president Poheim of the Police
Board announced that he should not
consent to allow the Grand Jury to
have everything it's own way. The
jury had taken upon itself to specify
the hour and minute that the trial of
Ellis should take place. Sergeant Ellis
had been informed by it that his hear
ing would go over and that he need not
bother himself about the summons Of
the Police Board, as the commission
could not proceed until the Grand Jury
got ready
! That the jury had coached the SER
geant was evident, for when he was
called he admitted that he was help
less, as he had no attorney to represent
him. There were many present who
felt sympathy for the policeman, who
has been between the fires of two con-
tending factions. However, the SER
geant's excuse would not have saved
him from being subjected to the ques-
tioning of the Police Board had not the
stand taken by ex-Police Commissioner
Hutton put temporary stop to pro-
ceedings. Hutton created a mild SEN
sation by appearing some minutes af-
ter his name had been called by Ser
geant Donovan. He intimated that he
would make a contest for his seat on
the Police Commission.
HUTTON ENTERS.
Hutton came into the room as Ellis
was making his excuses for not
having a legal champion of his cause,
and with stately walk crossed the
room and took a seat. For a few mo-
ments it looked as If something would
happen. and those who had wits and
pencils sharpened them.
| President Poheim had opened the
meeting with request to Sergeant
Donovan to find whether Mr. Hutton
is here" Donovan called three times
for the prosecutor, but received no an
! swer.
: Please read the charges against Ser
geant Ellis, Mr. Secretary" said the
chairman, "and we will proceed with
| the trial.
/ The complaint of Hutton, alleging
i that Ellis had informed the Chinese
gamblers of the proposed raid by the
Commissioner, and that the officer
and the Chinatown squad had permit
ted fan-tan and other gambling games
TO be run wide open, was repeated. A
number of Chinese witnesses for the
prosecution and several whites who

WHAT BoWEs SAID.

Ellis explained that ne had been in
formed by Grand Juryman Bowes that
the trial would not come off last night
and that he was under the impression
that in such matters the Grand jury
was the governing power. This brought
a snarp, but not i'll tempered retort
from Pcheim, who replied:
"Bowes had no right to tell you any
such thing. Last Wednesday we in
formed you that we would proceed with
the trial. Mr.. Bowes had no right to
dictate what the Police Commissioners
should do"
At this juncture Hutton entered the
room and walked toward the secre-
tary's desk. where he paused for mo-
ment Commissioner Drinkhouse
promptly asked, Mr. Hutton, are you
ready to proceed with the trial?"
Hutton answered slowly by putting
the query, What do you meanY
There was an awkward pause for
few seconds and then Hutton contin-
ued
II wish to tell you gentlemen that
think l am still member OF this BOARD
and ii is my desire not to participate In
discussion of the subject that pre-
vents my not demanding my seat 1
think / have been illegally removed.
Only in the position of Police Com
missioner was / acting when Drought
the charges.
II have my evidence well in hand,
but since began my investigations the
situation has changed somewhat. can
only act as an accuser at the request oL
the board, otherwise in an official ca
pacity."
President Poheim asked: Under what
conditions would you prosecute!
Hutton answered: II don't think that
I ought to undertake to prosecute until
I have determined my position as re-
CARDS this board. / think l can deter,
mine this by Monday night, but VIII
not act as prosecutor until am a MEM
Der of the board"
WOULD OBEY BOARD.
Hutton then said that he had always
beer a stfckler for the obeying OF
Police Board subpoena, and that II the
Commissioners insisted on his answer
ing their summons he would do SO ana
reply to their questions.
Monday evening at 1880 o'clock was
the hour set for the trial. and in an
nouncing this President Poheim threw
down the gauntlet to the Grand Jury
bv giving Sergeant Ellis advice not TO
c;ve attention to what the inquisitorial
bodv had to say. Poheim told Ellis not
70 nav any attention to Grand Juryman
Rowes. and furthermore informed MIN
that he was going to be tired oy the
Police Commissioners regardless OF the
iurv actions. Commissioner Ragan then
moved that the trial be held Monday
evening at 1880 o'clock, and the meeting
was declared adjourned.
Eutton did not care to go into any
details of his prospective actions In the
case. He said he was willing to answer
the questions put to him by the Com
missioners, and in this way he would
probably bring out the arguments of
corruption in Chinatown. such as he
had hoped to present in the capacity of
Police Commissioner.
After the session OF the commission
was over Grand Juryman Bowes
walked into the Commissioners rooms,
asked a few questions and disappeared.
He was evidently much piqued at the
stand that the Police. Board had taken.
