MISSES A MILLION
DOLLARS BY A MONTH
BY THE EAVESDRCPPER

If A. D. Myers, the locater of the
famous Mohawk mine at Goldfield, felt
so inclined he might be almost Justi-
fled in wearing long face, and per-
haps most men would bewail the loss
of a million, but Mr.. Myers smiles and
says he is satisfied.
The handsome young miner-he Is
both young and handsome-was until
a month ago a part owner of that
great gold-producing mine which has
become known east and west, wher-
ever the gold fever has penetrated.
Wingfield and Nixon own the mine
and it was to them that Mr.. Myers sold
his interest.
do you mind telling how much you
received for your INTEREST,"" / asked,
as he stood in the Alexandria corridor
last night.
II am ashamed to tell you," he re-
piled, and then he remarked that he
sold 100000 shares at 81 a share. That
stock is being quoted at ST. Mr.,
Myers has 100000 to his credit in the
bank and he says he is content
II got my price and l am content to

chance at it,"
The lease on the Mohawk mine runs
out the first of the year and the lessees
are working day and night 10 extract
as much of the coveted gold as possi-
BILE from the earth. Wingfield and
Nixon have holdings in the Red Top,
Jumbo and Lagoona. as well as the
Mohawk, and there Is plan to con-
solidate all these mines into one com
pany.
Mr.. Myers, who is accompanied by
Mrs. Myers, arrived at the Alexandria
yesterday from San Francisco. He is
still small shareholder in the mine
and vice president of the company.
Up to the time he sold the bulk of his
stock he was manager of the mine,

that few American women could du-
plicate.
For two years Mr.. Williams was
resident manager of the famous old
Garduo Anexas mine, owned by
members of the family OF President
Diaz, and during this time his wife
was hundreds of miles from any other
white woman. She made the trip into
the mine, which is in Guerrero, by
stage and horseback, travelling the
first two days by stage and five and
half days on horseback
1.-The mine has been producing rich
ore for more than two hundred years,
but it takes ten days to ship the ore
on burro-back and it costs SO for 300
pounds of freight, so it has to be very
high class to pay" said Mr.. Williams.
Because the president is interested
in the mine the ore trains are never
robbed, as are the trains from other
mines. 1t belongs to Don Porfirio,
they say, and the MeXicans do not feel
at all inclined to incur the disfavor
of Don Porfirio."
Mrs. Williams says that she never
grows tired of life in Mexico, but finds
new features to interest her all the
time.
"In Guerrero there We're some things
that 1 had to get used to, but soon
did not mind them," said she. THE
Indians. These Indians are found in
no other part OF the country and they
are looked down upon by other In
dams, much as the lepers are stunned.
They have great blotches all over them
and at first sight they are rather re-
pulsiVc, but one becomes accustomed
to them and does not notice their
faces"
Mrs. Williams went to Mexico a
bride.
II will never forget my first intro
duction to the people of Perrell," said
she.
Just after we were married we re-
ceived word that Perrell was planning
to meet us at the train with a brass
band to give us a royal reception
we decided to start one day ahead OF
time and slip in without any one
knowing 1t. This plan might have
been successful except that the train
had to stop at one OF the way stations
and there friends of Mr. Williams rec
ognized him and telegraphed ahead
that we would be there one day ear
lier The people decided they were
not going to be fooled and though
they could not get the full band they
had one that was capable OF making
a great deal of noise.
1--WE had a reception and that night
theh full band arrived and we were
given a big reception in the plaza.
1t was a remarkable sight to see all
the beautiful senoritas and their du-
ennas with the admiring dons not
far away. l had dreaded the idea,
but IL was all so beautiful l was very
thankful and very happy before the

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Thorough
preparations were made by the police
department and counsel representing
Enrico Caruso, the famous tenor OF
the Metropolitan opera company, for
hearing in police court this after
noon on the charge that Caruso am

at Central park one day last week.
Notwithstanding what appeared tc
be an earnest search for the woman
whom Caruso is alleged to have an
noyed, representatives of both the po-
lice and the defense declared before
the hour set for hearing that they had
been unable to find her.
When her complaint caused the ar
rest of the, singer she was taken to
the police station along with the prls-
oner and gave her name as Mrs. Han
nah Graham of the Bronx borough.
She was told to appear at the hear
ing on the next day and allowed to
go. When the case came up in court
neither Mrs. Graham nor Caruso ap-
peared, the tenor sending physician

Police Captain Stephenson of the
Central park station said today that
he was Informed last night by prom
inent business man who knows Mrs.
Groham that she would not appear in
court for anything, as she does not
want to be snapshotted and have her
name spread all over the city and per-
haps the country"
Capt. Stephenson said this informant
told him that Mrs. Graham is a wo-
man of eminent respectability. He de-
clared that her failure to appear would
make little difference as to the out
come of the case, however.
Officer Cain, the park policeman who
arrested Caruso, was the first witness
called. He said he had seen Caruso
in the building before and had watched
him particularly. In the monkey
house he saw Caruso following two
girls. one of these girls being about 10
years old.
Counsel for Caruso objected to this
testimony. declaring that there was
only one woman in the complaint
against the prisoner.
The objection was overruled.
Cain gave some sensational testi-
mony. He said he saw Caruso move up
close to Mrs Graham and then saw
one of Caruso's hands glide stealthily

he saw Caruso pinch the woman. Mrs.
Graham turned swiftly and struck
Caruso in the chest, crying out, "You
brute, you beast"
Officer Arrests Singer
After Mrs. Graham had struck the
singes Cain testified, he stepped be-
tween the man and woman, and, plac-
ing his hand on Caruso's shoulder he
asked the woman what had happened.
She replied that the man had insulted
her and that she wanted him arrested
She declared she would willingly appear
against him. She followed along to the
police station and swore to the COM
plaint.
Caruso said nothing until the station
house was reached Then he protested
that his arrest was all mistake, that
he was a gentleman and could not Be
guilty of such an offense as was
charged
"He pleaded the woman to withdraw
the charge" said Cain, land bowed an6

Cain declared that Caruso was treated
with all possible consideration. He was
kept at the station house about an hour
and then was released on bail furnished

house.

Officer Offers Explanation
Former Judge Dittenhoffer, for Ca
ruso, in cross-eXamining the witness,
asked why, if he had seen Caruso act
in an indecent manner toward several
women and girls he permitted him to
continue at liberty.
You knew what he was trying to
do, didn't you?" asked Judge Often
hotter
81 did" the officer replied.
"Why didn't you arrest him them"
"Well," replied Cain, ain the Ian
guage of the police L wanted to get him
good"
Cain said that he could not give the
names or addresses of any of the
women in the case with the exception
of Mrs. Graham. He has made every
effort to find Mrs. Graham, he said
but had not been able to find any trace
of her.
Judge Dittenhoffer counseled with
Caruso from time to time during the
| cross-eXamination. After one of these
conversations he asked Cain If Caruso
spoke English fluently.
not he wanted to understand the ques-
ton which was put to him."
| Judge Dittenhoffer protested against
such an answer and said he desired to
call it attention of the court that such
an answer showed bias and prejudice
on the part of the witness.
Caruso went on the stand at 4:2C
d. m.
lowed the girls and annoyed them
When they went away he turned his
attention to three women, Cain said
one of whom was a negress.
Judge Dittenhoffer at this point made
a strenuous objection to other women
than Hannah Graham being brought
into the case.
When the court referred to the COM
plaint, however, 1t was found that Fan
noying women" was included i'm the
charge and the officer was permitted
| to proceed.
Caruso's testimony was practically
fiat denial of the charge against him
He said Mrs Graham looked at hin
and smiled first. He considered the
look which she gave him as equivalent
to an admission on the part of the
woman that she was woman OF
doubtful character
The case was continued until Thurs
day.
