Sias Case Is First To

Indictment Against Him

In all probability an indictment will

the Grand Jury yesterday. There were
several witnesses before the inouisitor
ial body, among them former Sheriff

by the witnesses was of such a char
acter that it is understood that an
indictment will be the result.
The Sias case was the first matter
taken up by the new grand jury which
was drawn yesterday in the district
court, and the hearing occupied the re-
mainder of the day until adjournment.
The jury is composed of men of standing
throughout the county, and its person

voritism shown in any case, and that
the body will do its full duty in each
instance. 1t Will have thirty cases
to consider of parties who have already

thoritatively that tEcre are five other
cases which have ot as yet appeared

is said to be of sc ional character.

THE COUNTRY WITH HEARST IN
FIGHT FOR FAIR COUNT.

1t is probable that Hearst's man
ayers worked all the wires they knew
how in the effort to elect their man
But it is also probable that McClel
lam s managers worked more wires
more ways, and worked more crooked
games than Hearst s people found op
portunity for. In any event the
American people will applaud Hearst Is
effort to obtain a review of the election
canvass, and showing up of all the
ballots in contested districts.
Any man who earnestly and honest
ly tries to secure an honest ballot is
entitled to the thanks of the people
generally. The debauching of the
ballot box is, under our form of gov
eminent, the underlying cause of most
corruption in affairs of government.
Crooks elect themselves to office and
perpetuate their power, and the apathy
of the public permits them to control
the affairs of government up to a point
where their criminal work touches the
pocketbook, shames the pride, or
shocks the moral sense of the victims
of misrule, when said victims rise in
their might and secure a slight and
temporary change for the better.
Hearst has money, prestige, and the
anti-Tammany sentiment to help him
in his fight People, it is said, who
voted for Mcclellan because they alb
horred the idea of Hearst as mayor,
are so disguised at the revelations al
ready made that they are encourag-
ing Hearst in his fight. No just cause
ever feared the light. Hearst is dis
trusted and with sound reason. McClel-
Ian is better mayor, no doubt, than
Hearst would be. Yet for the time
being, Hearst stands for publicity and
honesty in the election canvass. and the
country is with him.
Some straightforward men can do de-
ceitful tricks IN the bright light, but
as rule crime against the ballot is of
a sort that will not stand examina
ton. Every step taken by the Tam
many machine government since the
election began goes to demonstrate
that the machine was and is fighting
for its life, and that nothing is too
mean for it to employ in its struggle.
If the New York courts and electoral
system are good for anything, those
ballot boxes will be taken out of the
hands of the police in short order, and
placed in the custody of men who can
be depended upon to conduct fair
examination.

ECLIPSE MINE SOLD TO BERNARD
CUNNIFF.
From Sundays Daily.)

One of the most important mining
deals made of late in the Bradshaw
mountain section occurred yesterday,
when Bernard Cunniff took an option to
purchase the Eclipse mine from Robt
Dougherty and n. c.. Shekels. The pur-
chase price was $4,000, large portion
of which was paid in cash and the bal
anee to be paid in installments cover
ing period of Is months.
The Eclipse mine was located in
1870. 1t is situated on what is known
in that section as the Gray Eagle
ledge, and is the north extension of the
Apache Panther, owned by the pur-
chaser, and upon which he has a large
force of men at work.
The showing made in the Apaehs
Panther by the development work
now going on has been and is highly
satisfactory to Mr.. Cunniff, and he in
tends to commence development of the
Eclipse in the near future. The sur
face showing on the Eclipse vein is
among the best in the district. 1t has
never been developed below water
level, but some very rich silver ore
was taken out and shipped from it in
the early days of mining in the Brad
shaws.
The mine is situated on one of a
series of parallel assure veins which
exist in that section, locally known as
the Tiger, California and Benton,
Crown King, Empire and Zika
lodges, and upon which some very va
liable mining properties have been
opened up.
The formation in which these veins
exist is principally sehist and slate,
with a granite contact to the west.
The country is well timbered in the
immediate vicinity, and water for re-
duction and domestic purposes will be
developed in the mine as work pro-
crosses. 1t is about three miles dis
tant from the terminus of the Brad
shaw Mountain railroad at Crown
King.

A wave of economy has struck the
government, its dimensions like al
waves are vague and underlined, pOssib-
ly it is only a wavelet, possibly it may
be a tidal wave. If it could be com
municated from the Government to the
people, to the wasteful millionaires and
the wasteful day laborers, and produce
an era of thrift within an era of superb
bundance, the panic which always fol-
lows good times will be much longer
averted. There is no telling how
many millions of dollars will be sheed
off the appropriations at the coming
session of Congress. The Secretary of
War has made a clean reduction of ten
millions of dollars, and it is always
the custom of Congress to reduce the
appropriation below the secreary's esti-
mate. Assuming that the Secretaries
of the Navy, of the Interior, the Post
master General, and other cabinet Of
fcers shall be disposed like Secretary
Taft to reduce expenses we may reas-
on ably expect that the governmental
budget will be reduced from fifty to-
seventy-fvc millions, and this reduction
with the Increased revenues expected
from prosperous business conditions,
ought to wipe out the deficits of the
last two years.

The transcript of the trial that re-
suited in the conviction of Leigh was
received at the governors office sew
eral days ago.
The crime for which Leigh was con-
victed was the murder of Jennie Bau-

was notorious character, and had
lived in northern Arizona for many
years, longer at Jerome than else
where, and at one time or another had
lived with Leigh. Their relations
were of that nature at Acme, and the
murder resulted from a quarrel ineit-
ed by the jealousy of Leigh over the
interest the woman was taking in an
other man.

INCENTIVE TO REBATES.

"The President in his last annual
message" so writes Samuel Spencer
in a pamphlet which was read before
the Board of Trade of the city of Nc-v-
ark, n. j., ''laid special emphasis up u
the necessity for doing away with e
bates, and for the keeping of the high
ways of transportation open to all u9oH
equal terms. There is no issue or coz
troversy before the people or Congrr IS
as to whether or not rebates or seer
determinations should be stopped. 10
one desires more than the railway ma
ayers themselves that there should .
an end to all such practices. The
are as detrimental to the transportatioa
interests as they are to the great body
of shippers.
"No rational suggestions have been
made, however, as to how the granting
of rate-making power to the Interstate
Commerce Commission could be effec
tive to this end. A rebate or any Sc
cret discriminatory device can, of
course, be applied to a government
made rate as well as to one made by the
carrier.
Gin fact, a rate established by the
and thereafter unalterable
by the carrier in reduction or other
wise, except upon petition to the COM
instead of serving as a cure
or a preventive, would be a distinct in
centive towards secret reduction when
conditions demanded and
public and legal reduction could not be
made.

RICH STRIKES.

Nearly every day the JOurnal-Miner
reports one or more rich strikes; some
in well known mines, and others in new
properties. A few years ago, any one
of these strikes would have caused a
stampede to that district, but the pub
lie is becoming so accustomed to them
now that there IS apparently little at
tention paid TO item.
ANY man can recognize an opportun-
ity when it is the first or second of its
kind, but it takes a wise man to pick
out the opportunities best suited to
himself, when they are coming thick
and fast.
At one time, talk of or per cent
interest or of making 10 to 20 per cent
on deal looked large almost to the
point of disbelief. Now we talk
about 100, 500, 1000 per cent with &c
much abandon as an old topper viii
drink enough liquor to put ten LCr-
NAL men in the hospital.
What we need is more attention to
things that exist. We shall never
have better chances of making money
in mining than we are having now. The
conditions are such that companies
dare not advance the price of stock
much even on rich strikes. This will
not endure always. Remember the old
adage about hay making and sunshine.
