STORM INTERFEREs WITH WORK
 AT SHELTER.
(From Thursdays Daily.l

HUMBOLDT, Nov. 2s-The severe storm and rains of the past few days has seriously retarded the progress of the work on the new shelter, especially in the bricklaying work, much of which is yet to be done on the roasters, and this building has not been completed.
 The roads are almost impossible, and the usually clear and placid Agua Fria is swollen to a raging torrent.
 A bridge about two miles from Dewey which had been weakened by the re- cent rains, caused a delay of several hours in the train service to this point, the Crown King ard Poland trains ar- irving abort p. m. Monday.
 The Poland train carried the pile driver and crew, and it is quite pro bable that more repairs along the line will be necessary before the trains will be running regularly.
 Gladstone Mill Shut Down.
 The concentrating mill, which has been operated under a lease by the of the Gladstone mine, has been shut down, and the ore from that rich property will now be purchas- ed by the Arizona Smelling company.

He will return to this city before Christmas to assist Ed. Block during the business rush of the holiday season.

Prescott at o'clock in the afternoon would be much more popular with the patrons of this branch than the two morning trains. Neither train under the present schedule arrives in Prescott early enough in the afternoon to allow one to transact much business, and both leave too early in the morning to admit of same, and it is to be hoped that a more desirable schedule will be adopted in the near future.
 Hospital Accommodation.
 Dr. Toney, the new company doctor, has moved into one of the new resi- dences just completed, and in the fu- ture a hospital fee will be charged to employees of the company.

 Jack Chisholm, the affable and eff cient boss of the carpenter force on the new works, made a flying visit to the city to meet his family, who were to arrive from Utah. He returned on Mondays train.
 More Buildings Going Up.
 Two new frame bunk houses are in course of erection by the company for the accommodation of employees, and are now almost completed. They are located on the new townsite, and will form the nucleus of the new and city soon to arise later.

privileges of the room in the house
 occupied by the Clarks, and in return
 they enjoyed the rights of the kitchen,
 where he slept.
 Failing to find the key. he entered
 the kitchen, which was never locked.
 and lit a fire in the cook stove After
 lighting the fire he stood by the side
 of the stove warming himself, and
 while in this position heard a footstep
 on the porch outside, when he opened
 the door. On opening the door, he
 noticed Clark standing in front of
 the other door of the house, about I2
 feet distant from him. He asked Clark
 for the key of the room, and Clark re.
 piled: "I've got the key in my pocket
 and you - can't get it." at tie same time he pulled his six-shooter and fired, the bullet entering the easing of the door close to where Skaggs was standing. Skaggs picked up shotgun which was inside the door in which he was standing, and fired, striking Clark in the shoulder Clark turned after being shot, dropped the six-shooter out of his hand on the porch, and ran to the end of the porch, where he turned in the direction of the Hollingshead ranch some distance away. Skaggs then set the shotgun back in the kit chen, and broke open the door of the room occupied by the Clarks, secured some dry clothing, saddled up his horse, and started for Camp Verde by the nearest travelled trail. On ar irving at the Taylor ranch, Skaggs told MT. and Mrs. Taylor that he had shot Clark, but didn't think that he had hurt him bad, and that Clark left in the direction of the Hollings- head ranch after the shooting. The Taylors invited Skaggs to join them in some supper, which he refused, par taking only of cup of hot coffee.
 He continued his journey in the direc- ton of Camp Verde, and on arriving at the Back place, met MT. Dickinson, whom he also informed of what had | happened, asking him to go to his ranch and see how things were there. | Continuing his journey he arrived late that night at the place of William | Stephens, justice of the peace at Camp ] Verde, whom he told of what had oe- cured, and that he came there to give | himself up. He stayed there until the day, when he met Ed. Ma lurin, deputy sheriff, whom he &C., to the scene of the shooting, where the coroner's inquest was held.
 Other incidents before and after the shooting were gone into in detail, and he cross-examination failed to bring ut anything detrimental to him be- lore the jury or in contradieting the statements already made by him.
 John Skaggs is about 45 years of lge, has resided in this territory about IS years, and according to his testi- nony, has lived at his ranch where the hooting occurred 13 years. He is bout feet 9 inches in height, of medium build, and shows somewhat appearance, no doubt due to lis almost three months incarceration n the county jail, and the worries re- ulting from a rather anxious anticipa- ion of the result of the trial just nded.

MONARCH IS READY FOR RE-
 DUCTION PLANT.
(From Thursdays Daily.) )


 "Our property is now well develop ed, we have thousands of tons of rich ore blocked out in sight, and we are now at the point where we want reduction plant" said c. W. Platt, general man. ager of the Monarch Mining and Smelling company, to Journal-Miner representative yesterday.
 "As soon as we decide the character of the plant that is best suited to the economical reduction of our ores we will purchase and install the machinery for it, and will then commence to op- crate the mines on an extensive scale.
 He continued: "We have our well already sunk to a depth of 75 feet, and are rushing work on it as fast as we can, and an pleased to state that the prospects are that we will be able to develop more than enough water in it to supply the needs of any plant that we decide to erect, and have en- ough left to meet the demands of all camp purposes.
 In the conversation with Mir. Platt, it was learned that the tunnel on the mines was now in a distance of 600 feet into the mountain, that it tapped the ledge at a depth of 800 feet in places, and that an upraise to the sur face was completed, besides other work in the way of crosscutting and drifting was being prosecuted that would in a short time place the mine in first class shape for operation on large scale from an economical basis. All of the drilling done is with Sul- livan air drills, no hand drills being used, machine work being much cheaper and faster than the old method.
 He also stated that Wickenburg was enjoying a boom in real estate at the present time, that the new hotel was about completed, and that it was thought that the work on the proposed
 
 commenced.
 The mines of which MT. Platt is general manager are situated about 10 miles east of Wickenburg, in the White Picacho district, near the Mari eopa county line. Within a radius of six miles of his place the White Gold Mining company, the O'Brien mines, and the Black Rock Mining com pany, all properties of merit, are working successfully.
 c. W. Platt, while yet a comparative ly young and active man, has spent 26 years in this territory, almost all of which he has been engaged in the min ing business in one capacity or an other.
 He knows the practical part of it i thoroughly, and besides is well versed | in the business principles that go to make it a success.
 The only public office he ever held was under sheriff for about six months during the ineumbeney of J. I. Rob- erts as sheriff of this county, which he resigned, returning to the more occupation of his life work, not satisfied with the hum drum work of a courthouse career. He returned to his mining camp last | evening after a two days business visit here.

Made A Mistake And Shot The Wrong
 Man
Murderer Abeyta Gets Twenty Years In
 Prison
(From Saturdays Daily.)

The jury in the case of William Oli plant, charged with the shooting of Henry Olea, Mexican, at Congress on August 24 last, after two hours and a half deliberation last evening, rendered a verdict of not guilty.
 ''I am glad that it is over," said the defendant to a Journal-Miner represen- tative last night after the jury re- turned its verdict exonerating him. "It was certainly a mistake on my part. took Henry Olea to be Jose Maria, one of the men who made such a desperate attempt on my life at Crown King one night last summer, and I didn't know the difference until after the shooting," he said.
 It appeared from the evidence that Henry Olea and Mexican boy drove into the town of Congress on the night of August 24 last, and William Oli- phant who was deputy sheriff there, in the dim light of the night, thought he recognized in him the person of Jose Maria, who was one of a number of Mexieans who made a desperate at tempt on the life of Oliphant while an officer at Crown King a month or so earlier in the year, and for whom he had a warrant of arrest in his possession.
 Oliphant accosted Olea and arrested him. Olea pulled loose from him, at the same time reaching his right arm behind him as if to pull a weapon. Oli- plant immediately drew his pistol and fired, the bullet striking Olea and caus- AnIoqs pop sq q0IqM WOII punoM SuI afterwards. Investigation after the shooting proved that the man shot was not the man wanted, and Oliphant was placed under arrest.
 Henry Olea had just arrived in Con- gress from Signal with a load of veget- ables on the night of the affair. He was comparative stranger in that place and known to but few. He is said to have been an inoffensive man, and much regret was expressed at the time of the shooting over the taking of his life. No one regrets the incident more than the officer who fired the fatal shot, and all admit that he acted in good faith in the honest performance of his duty, and that his life was in immi- nent danger when Olea made the sus- piciOus move after his arrest.
 Attorney Reese M. Ling represent ed Oliphant, and made masterful ad dress to the jury in his behalf.
 Twenty Years in the Pen.
 Pedro Abeyta, who was convicted of murder in the second degree last week for the killing of Juan Mirabel at Jerome about two months ago, was sen fenced to 20 years in the territorial pen itentiary this morning.
