WILL SEARCH FOR FAMOUS
 PLACEKS.

Another systematic attempt will soon be- made to unravel the mysteries of the lost Adams pl.cers of the White mountains in northern Arizona. These placers have lain hidden from the dil igent search of the intrepid prospect or tor over fifty years, and they are again soon to furnish the incentive for a perilous and exciting expedition.
 Innumerablc prospcrtors have sought this fabulously rich digging. hut of no avail. They have kept unto them. selves these many years, and for how long no one knows.
 The legend handed down regarding the Adams placcrs are many and va. ricd. The one principally accepted is about ns followsi
 In the year of 1853 party of twcn. ty-four. headed by Adams, left over. land from Missouri for the wilds of California. They were hardy lot and used io the rugged dcprivations of the west, and accepted the hazardous task with no forcbodings of the future. After n trying iurney of several months they reaehcd the wild White noun. iains that separate Arizona from New Mexico.
 Al or near the highest peak of the range of mountains the famous Adams pincers were found. The ground was literally covered with golden nuggets. and the Adams party collected as many as they could. Legend has it that some of the nuggets were as large as a man x thumb, and of pure gold. The party not wishing to give up the Reld it was decided among them tha, twelve would proceed to san Francisco. dis. pose of what gold they could carry. and return to the new camp with money and provisions.
 The twelve never reached their des. tination. They encountered a rowing band of White mountain Apachrs, and were mnssacred to a man. shortly af. terwards the men left in the camp shared the same fate. the Indians learn. ing that their diggingn had been dis. covered. Adams was the only man to reach civilization alive, after un- told hardships.

SUPPLE BOUND ovHR TO THE
 GRAND JURY.
(from Wednesdays Daily.

telegram reached this city at q late hour last night from Rock Island. Ili.. that II. A. Suttle, well known here as a mining promoter, and who wns re- gently arrested in that state, on the charge of cmbczzleincnt, at his pre- liminsry examination held yesterday in that city. was held 10 appear before the next grand jury to answer the charge.
 The complaint upon which the war. rant for Suttle's arrest was based was similar to one sworn to here some time ago by C. II. Dooley, secretary of the Cypress Gold and Copper Co. and upon the basis of which district attorney R. r. Talbot refused to allow justice of the peace Keohanc to issue n warrant for the arrest of Suttlc, and which action. on the part of the dis. trict attorney. was the cause of m acri monious controversy. details of which at the time appeared in this journal, and in which attorneys Talbot. Leroy Anderson and John Mason Ross, II. A.. Suttle and c. IT. Dooley were conspicu. ons participants.
 The accusations of embezzlement against Suttlc date back to some two years ago, when, it Is claimed by the officers of the Cypress Gold and Copper company. Suttle was advanced by the company. while acting as it's agent, the sum of &2l .OOO for the purchase of the Cypress mine in the Rig Hug dis. 'riet from Joe Mayer and his asso- cia'os. One half of this amount, it appears, was paid to Suttle in the state of Illinois. and the remainder of the amount in this territory. and it is alleged by the directors of the con cern that Suttlc secured title to the property for the sum of 5000. and ap- propriated the remaining SIt,00O to his own use while acting as the com. pany's agent ana drawing n salary s such.
 lhr Ihr' 'h"' NIo,oOo or 'he amount was advanced to Suttle while residing in Illinois gave the Illinois courts jur. isdietion in the case, and the fact that th. other tio,50O was paid ,o him while in this county, it Is claimed ny the di- rectors of the company. also gives the Arizona courts jurisdiction in the case.
 The affair has had wide publicity in this territory, s well as tn Illinois. where all parties interested tn the com pany reside, and the outcome of the criminal proceedings win be watched with interest, n civil suit for the re- covery of the amount from Suttlc be. ing also now pending here in the dis trici court.

VALUABLE STRIKE AT THE
 CORONA.
(Fssm wedaesday's Daily.)


 Information of what appears 10 be one of the most important mineral strikes made in the Turkey creek dis trict in the past few months was brought to the city yesterday by John Mckenzie, superintendent of the West ern Queen Mines company, who arrived here from that district.
 The new discovery was made by Am prose Stewart, who is operating the pro. pertics of the Corona Consolidated Gold and Copper company under bond, and in vein passing through the com. pany's ground that was never before believed to carry values of any con. sequence, and upon which little if any development work was ever done.
 Securing a bond on the Corona group of i6 claims. about the first of the present year, Mr. Stewart, who is a mining man of many years export cncc in Colorado and Idaho. discovered . ledge passing through a piece of ground upon which stood a stamp mill many years ago. After finding good mineral indications at the surface, he commenced to sink . shaft, and re- gently at depth of about 70 feet un- covered a 2 foot paystrcak of high grade silver ore. some of which assays as high as 2o0O ozs. silver to the ton, carrying gold values of about 4s.50. The shaft IS being pushed down on the vein, and the output sacked and prepared for shipment.
 The news of the strike spread like wild6re through the district. which had a great reputation as \ producer in the pain,y days of the Pine Spring and oth. CT mines in the early history of mining operations in this county, many pion. eers reaping rich rewards from the rich silver deposits which were worked out to water level and later abandoned for the lack of capital to continue the development to great depths, which imposed the installation of hoisting and pumping machinery. large bodies of water being encountered in almost all of the promising lodges.
 The scene of the new find is Iocat. ed about one half mile south of the properties of the Cumberland Mining company. and lying immediately east of and adjoining the mines of the West crn Queen Mines company. in ono of which good body of high grade sil. yer ore was recently encountered.
 The camp Is about hy" miles south of the Poland terminus of the Brad. shaw Mountain railroad. to which . good wagon road can be built at . no. minal expense. the grade being an easy one the entire distance up the creek.
 The discoveries reported from that section within th" past few months have given great impetus to the mining industry of the locality, many predict. isg that the great reductions made in transportation and reduction rates during th" past year by tho railroad and smelter companies the district will again, in n short time, rank among the richest producers in the country.
