Although Major Sylvester was not at

Major Sylvester stated about a week

The charge which Kleindienst went to

Kleindienst walked into Justice Gran

John P. Poe, yesterday afternoon. and
after Mr.. Poe announced that he had
kept his word in regard TO the appear

The magistrate was told by the saloon
keeper that he had learned On good au-

the visiting policemen. did all In his
power 10 stop the trouble between the
bluecoats and himself. and he, therefore.

When Justice Grammar announced the
dismissal of the case against KIeindienst

When asked for his views on the sub

Fred Fritz Supposed to Have Been
 Drowned in Frisco.

Fred Fritz. a prominent ranChman of Blue river, disappeared last week under circumstances which leave lit tie doubt in the minds of his friends that he was drowned in the Frisco or Blue river. He had been to Clifton for supplies, and on Thursday afternoon left for home, riding d horse and leading pack animal. The last seen of him was at Nick Coles half way house, where he remarked that his family was out of provisions and he was going home if he had to swim for it. Parties who came in from the Blue on Monday and Tuesday state that he had not arrived home, and it is now generally believed that he was drowned while attempting to cross the river Thursday night.
 Since that time several parties have been over the various trails and up and down the river, and it would seem impossible for him to still be alive without his having been seen during the past week. His many friends hope that he will turn up all right, but they have little hope of ever seeing him again.

Body of J. E. Hunt Found.

On Monday last a Mexican cam,
 in from the Gila river at the mouth
 of the Frisco and reported the find
 ing of body, which had been uncov
 cred by the rise in the river last
 week. Justice Neff at once secured
 q coroners jury, and with Undertaken
 PascOe, left for the scene.
 As the river was still high they
 were compelled to take to the noun
 tains, and did not arrive at the place
 where the body was until late in the day. The body was found in the Frisco valley, about five miles below the D. C. pumping plant. From it's condition, and from the fact that it had been only partially uncovered by the last flood of last week, there was no doubt but that it had been carried there by the flood of January To- The remains proved to be those of d man five feet ten inches tall, dressed in working clothes, with bib overalls over the trousers, indicating that the man was mechanic or laborer. and was dressed for work when he lost his life. While the flesh was badly deComposed. it did not appear that the man had been murdered. It was therefore supposed that he came to his death by drowning. A purse was found on the body which contained q Ii Stt h papers The upper teeth protruded somewhat, and in fact the general de scriptiOn seemed to tally very closely to that of J. F.. Hunt, d skinner in the employ of the A. C. company, who lost his life by the bank caving away with him during the flood of January 10th, and whose body was rot recovered.
 After drying out the letters and papers recovered from the body, it was asCcrtained that the letters were addressed to J. F.. Hunt, hence the jury last night reported that deceas- ed came to his death by accidental drowning, and that the remains were those of J. F.. Hunt.
 Owing to the advanced stage of Undertaken Pascoe found it impossible to bring out the body, hence it was buried near where it was found, after first being wrap ped in oil cloth. The party did not reach Clifton until late at night, having had very hard trip, and be- ing compelled to walk the greater portion of the return trip, as it was too dark to ride their horses with out great risk.

To Tax the Output of Mines.

The Wilson bill as presented to the legislature provides for the taxation of all mines, smelters, millsites and the gross outputs of mines and smell ters in the same manner the tax is now levied upon real estate.
 In presenting his bill Wilson stated that the gross output of the mines of | Arizona during last year reached grand total in cash value of S32, ,0O0, . GOO, on which income no tax was paid. At one-half per cent, he declared, this gross amount should yield to the territorial treasury s1S2 900 annually. In further comment upon the bill Veville stated that the Copper Queen shelter at Douglas alone has cash value of S50,OOO per day.
 The bill requires that the manage ment of mines, smelters, etc, shall furnish to the assessor on the last day of each month a statement of the product for that month. In the event of the failure to make such a statement within five days the asses sor shall make a personal investiga- tion and demand permission to ex- anime the records. For this he shall charge Sl0 for the inspection and mileage computed at five cents a mile. These charges are to be added to the tax.
 In order that the business of the mines shall not be impeded by the operation of the law, owners shall be allowed to furnish security for the payment of the tax and their pro- ducts may then be shipped out of the territory. Evasion of ths law is to be punished by fine not less than the taxes and costs or by imprison- ment for not less than six months and not more than two years or by both fine and imprisonment. False state ments are to be punished under the penal statute relating to perjury.

PURELY PERSONAL

Mrs. w. B. Foote visited her mother in Morenci last week.
 Miss Viola Terrell spent several | days in Clifton last week visiting relatives and friends.
 Gus Heymann, one of the best known travelling men in the south west, spent q few days in Clifton this week.
 J. R. Hampton returned last week from the northern part of the terri tory, where he spent some time on business. He found the country full of snow and quite cold.
 c. A. Ross, president of the Stand ard and Standard Consolidated com panies, arrived this week from New York. He was five days on the trip, the train being delayed by heavy snow and cold weather.
 I. F. Solomon. D. w. Wickersham, Phoebes Freudenthal and Chas. F. Solomon arrived last night to attend the annual meeting of the stock holders of the Gila Valley Bank and Trust company, which will be held to day.
 John K. Chiffon and MT. Angle, two of DunCan's most energetic and sue cesSful farmers. were in Clifton this week on business. MT. Chiffon re- ports that the last flood damaged his farm much more than the first. He expects to make d good crop this year and says that the Duncan coun- try will be prosperous. There is no danger of q water shortage.
 Henry Hill returned Monday night with Mrs. Hill and daughter, Miss Rosa, who spent some weeks at the Thomas hot springs. He reports much high water in the Gila valley, but no serious damage done. The big rise in the Gila came one day be- fore the rise in the Frisco reached the lower valley. Had they both oc cured on the same day no doubt con- siderable damage would have been done down the valley. The farms of the lower valley have not been badly damaged, and the prospects for abundant crops were never brighter.
