Postomce Graft.

In the report of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow there are
four charges Of graft" appointments in
Hooker's district. Although Mr.. Bris-
tow made no direct charge against Rep
resentative Hooker, the fact that he
said they were made in that district
was in itself a charge against the New
Yorker.
in October, 1888, when Judge Hooker
was still a Representative in Congress,
the postmaster at F'redonia, n. Y, was
borer, at a salary OF 5000 per annunl and

 While the drilling of the well, like every other oil well in unproven ter ritory, is only an experiment, the writ CT, who has had considerable experience in that industry, believes that it will be a success, and can cheerfully re- commend the business men of Prescott to give it support. If oil is tapped, it not only means a fortune for the stockholders, but what is of greater will be the consequent prosperity for this city and the en- tire country which is tributary to it.

Turns On Button When His Hands and Feet
 Are Wet
Current Passes Through Body and Floors
 Chinese
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Gin Coy, an innocent Chinese, who is ignorant of the deadly danger that turks in the electric wire, will hereaf- ter use candles for illumination.
 He nearly lost his life last evening by trying to manipulate the 'juice," !" and as a result his right hand is burnt to the bone and three fingers of the left hand are scared and maimed.
 Gin Coy is the washman at the laun- dry of Wah Hing, on Goodwin street, adjoining the Plaza stables. He was standing in some water that covered the floor in the washroom, and his hands were both wet as he reached to turn on the button of an incandes- cent light. Grasping the brass soc- ket with his left hand, and taking hold of the button with his right, a current was formed that passed through his body, and the shock threw him to the floor. Wah Hing heard his screams, and the fall, and upon viewing his washman thought that he was killed. He went on the run to the store of the Prescott Electric company, where in an excited manner he related what had happened his employe to s. E. Fer guson, the company's electrician. The latter went over to the laundry, and after stretching out the injured man, sent for pr. Looney, who brought Gin Coy around to consciousness. The burns were of frightful nature, and on one hand the flesh was consumed to the bone.
 In this connection it may well to warn all persons not to use both hands when turning on the electric light, and especially not to attempt it if your feet are on a wet surface. If you do there will be a second installment of the Gin Coy story.

Eureka Copper Company Plans To Resume
 Work
Development Continues On The Pitts
 Claims
(From the Jerome News.l

The Eureka Copper Company is making arrangements to commence op- erations again on its properties south of Jerome. Negotiations that may place necessary money in the treasury for developing the property are now being made. If these negotiations fail, the company will consider the proposition of placing a block of stock on the market at low figure, the pro- ceeds of which will be used to develop the mine. It is thought that with the expenditure of a few hundred dol lars the sale of ores from it will carry on the work. The bottom of the 75 foot winze sunk from the main tunnel, is now in ore, and experts claim that few more feet of work will put it into beey of ore, at least the present in dications would lead to that belief.
 G. N. Willard left Jerome Thurs day for hthe Squaw Peak district, where he: gees to commence work on a property belonging to the estate of the late H. J. Allen, Messrs. Hoover & Cordiner, and T. E. Campbell, on which he has lease and bond. The ores from this property carry gold, silver, and lead, some of which is very high grade.
 The News has it from good authority that there are bright prospects for the commencement of development work again, in the very near future, on the property of the Verde Queen company. This information comes to us with the understanding that while arrange mcGts have rot yet been eonsummated, they are certain to be. This is one of the most interesting properties in the Jerome district, and the fact of its having a smelter ready to reduce the ores as they come from under ground makes the commencement of work thereon of vital interest to the district.
 At the Cleopatra, Decatur, Black Hills and Venture Hill work is being continued with good results. Work IS also being done on the Larremore- Walker property, which is showing up | that property in fine condition.
 development work continues on the Pitts property on Equator Hill, and the News is informed that there is a good showing for the amount of work done to date.

RoUNTREE HERE TO STAND HIS
 TRIAL.
(From Sunday s Dsily.)

(From Sundays Daily.)
 Ranger Oscar Reundtree arrived in Prescott yesterday in response to the issuance of bench warrant for his ap- pearance to answer to a charge of az grayated assault against Captain Hance. -l
 The filing of a. suit by District At tOrney EllinwoOd against the bonds men of Roundtree because of his fail ure to appearsat the last term of court, led to public notice of the matter. Sub sequently a warrant was sworn out for his arrest, and shortly after it was learned that he was at Hunt, Coehlse county Lieutenant Wheeler was TO- tifed. and he informed Roundtree, who offered to go to Prescott at once.
 He explains that he left here on his last visit with the understanding that his ease would come up for hearing at the fall term of the federal court. He had made previous appearance to an swer to the charge against him, but the matter was not taken up on the showing made by the attorneys for the plaintiff. He has little to say as 10 the merits of the case, hut believes he did only what he was compelled to dO in striking Captain Hanee with a revolver. He had arrested Hance 8 few days before, and struck the blow when Hanee made a violent attack up- on him.

Pittsburg Jerome Mine Has Good Wagon
 Road
Will Haul All Material To Camp From
 Prescott
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Superintendent D. s. Cochran of the Pittsburg-Jerome mine, lying south of Jerome, has been in Prescott, and will return to camp today. In order to see all Of the recently repaired county road that now connects with two miles of his own road leading to the mine, he drove to Prescott. The peculiar location of the property made it necessary to have wagon road to connect with the county highway, which was badly damaged by the storms of last winter, and in order to get machinery and supplies into camp he is compelled to haul direct from Prescott.
 The county attended to repairing the road leading to the new mine, and the company built about two miles of road to tap the county highway, with the result that there is now a fairly good wagon road from here to the mine. When questioned as to the road yesterday MT. Cochran said that there will likely be no further trouble in getting material into camp. He explained that the county road at that end is in good condition, and that all his hauling will in the immediate fu- ture be done without trouble.
 The property represented by Mir. Cochran lies in an air line little more than two miles south of Jerome, and about six miles by the old wagon road that is now in use from the copper city. For the past year or more this group of claims has been carefully cared for under the direct supervision of MT. Cochran, and now that a wagon road is open work will be pushed with all possible vigor. While here he purchased a new hoisting outfit, and a gasoline power plant, and this will be shipped to the mine without delay.
 Water is to figure as a serious pro- blem in the work there, and the superin- tendent says that his efforts for the rext few weeks, after the installation of the new plant, will be with a view to determining what course to pursue with reference to the water supply. Several weeks ago MT. Cochran return ed from an eastern trip, where he cor suited with a large portion of the stockholders in this property, and re- turned fully authorized and equipped financially to continue development work on larger scale than had been undertaken before.
 Because of the location of the mlDe, rail transportation is out of the ques- tion, and now that the highway via the county road to point within two miles of the camp has been put in good condition, and branch road com pleted from that point to the camp, all work win in n~fsture be pushed to much better advantage.
