Seeking Another Lost
 Gold Mine Again

Just ct the present writing there are quite a number of prospectors engaged in the exciting pursuit oi seeking lost mine. Tho mine Is supposed to be located in box cam yon somewhere to the north oi Ei- dorado in Nevada. It is known as the Hughes property, and there are countless stories regarding it's isbu- lous richness. As the story goer, Hughes, who lived in Eldorado yesrs ago, often made trips out to his mire' and returning, brought his burros laden with exceedingly rich ore ru''- ming h,gh in both gold and cOpp' values. The location of the grOun' the old man guarded zealously, sne but little was ever learned, other thai it was located in s canyon in . north erly direction, and that the claim were all properly mounted. It is thes
 monuments that prospectors hay eagerly looked for, and it is reporte' that Messrs. Weineke aRd BartOgee formerly oi Arizona, have at las
 found them. They in turn are pre-
 serving the greatest secrecy, but thei
 movements are being closely watche
 by others, who hope in this way t'
 get into the new section and to surve

TUESDAY, MAY 22

The attention of the court was tak' en up today in the trial of the terri tory vs Webb, charged with murder. The prosec ition concluded its case soon after it was called this morning and the defense took up it's side. The first move made by the defense after the jnry had been excused from the room was to make motion to the court that the jury be instructed to bring in verdict of acquittal. The motion was denied and the case was then proceeded with by the defense As there are a number of witnesses to be examined it is doubtful if the case will go to the jury before morning, or perhaps late tonight.
 The following is the jury in the Webb mulder csse:-
 Dave Johns Bert Gehinle Theo De Long 1hos Ii Rogers w F Rudolph E Willems
 Chas Holz Andy Scott
 W F Holland Wm Lutley
 Jas Reilly Allan Thompson
 An order for a special venire of 25 jurors was ordered drawn to he return able on the 24th The jurors will be- polle to assist those left on the panel in the trial of the remaining cases to be tried. As ths re are 8 number of murder cases to be tried it takes more jurors than in ordinary cases.
 The Conchin case will in all prob ability follow the Webb case with the Campbell case next to be followed by the Comesford- Kennedy Norton cases.
 The question of a change of venue in the Campbell case was taken up and argued for come length of time by the attorneys on both sides, but the motion was denied by the court. The defense offe' ed some forty affidsvits in support of their view in the matter, while the prosecution had some sixty odd. The case which was set for trial in the morning was continued until Thursday

WEDNESDAY, MAY B

The court room last evening was crowded with interested spectators, who were attracted by the announce ment that the attorneys were to argue the case of the territory vs Webb, many of them were of the gentler sex and were greatly interested in the oratory of the various attorneys. The argument of the case was started by Deputy District Attorney Flanigan shortly after ' o'clock and spoke for about half an hour, he was followed by c. b Parsons, of Douglas, for the defense, who occupied about the same time. The "Adonis" of the bar, Joe Morrison, was the next attorney to address the court and jury for nearly half sn hour, he was followed by District Attorney Flannigan who con- ciuded tine case, ii going to ihe jury about $40. Alter being out about % minutes the jury returned verdict of not guilty which met with the approv- al of all present. The jury was then discharged and the defendant ordered released from custody. His aged motber who had come from Graham county to attend the trial presented a pathetic sence. When the verdict was announced she threw her arms about her sons neck.

Historical Sketch
 of Tombstone Mines

The following interesting paragraphs in regard to the mines now being operated by the T. c. NJ. Go together with historical reference to the past production of Tom stone district, is taken from the Los Angeles Mining | Review: 9Th. silver lead and gold mines of that district have to their credit, of record. a gross production of $34, 900, , 900 and dividends declared amount
 ing to $S,OOO,OOO. The mines were
 worked with great success to the water
 level, but efforts to go deeper were
 not successful owing to insdequscy o'
 the pumps installed.
 "A very important undertaking,
 which is now approaching s succsss-
 ful issue, is that whereby the omb-
 stone ons dated Mines o. is re
 habilitsting the famous old bonanza
 camp. The company has sunk
 Accompaniment shaft which is, by
 this weeks sdvices. SS9 feet deep. A
 the 600-foot level q powerful pump
 was installed which, however, proved
 insufficient. At the TOO foot level } two more pumps were put in. the ca- paci.y of the three being 6,5OO, ,0OO gallons daily. These pumps are now raising about 5.OOO,OOO gallons per 24 ' hours.
 "It has been determined that the 7 water of the district does not run ir regular courses. but is held in crevice. of the rocks; and it is estimated by th' . company's engineers that between . and f per cent of the whole mass be , low water level and above the expected ? dry zone is water, which will finally by persistent pumping, be drained ou [ of the underground areas.
 "The company is now sinking si! V working shafts, respectively on tn , Silver Thread, Tranquility, Emerald - Lucky Cuss, Toughnut and West Sid g claims. In all of these except tn l Silver Thread, the ore bodies hay s continued to go down unchanged a
 to volume pr value save that the gol
 is increasing with depth The Silve
 Thread ore body has widened to grea
 size, and though the values per to
 are less than in the upper workings
 the net value of the mine has greatl O appreciated. This ore body is in tn y underlyi white limestone. d "rh- company now has a milling O concentrating and cysn;ding plant ( d 225 tons daily capacity, which will !" increased as development of the min' !, progresses. There are also shippe some 2.500 tons of high grade ore T. month to Fl Paso smelters. A lea II sm lter of l50 to-s daily capacity wi 'e be added to the plant in the near f, ture.
 '- This enterprise, which has bee
 followed up persistently and in spit l. Of many dEseouragements, is now on

Explorations Dthe atmosphere have
proved that large differences of pc
tential exist in it at points not widely
separated. lt8has been found that a
difference of potential Of 100 volts per
meter has been measured, and even
VaI6SS as high as 300 volts. A con-
ductor might be placed with its ends
at two points where the difference of
potential is 10000; or under favorable
conditions it might reach 10000 volts.
There should be some 4eans of util-
izing these enormous forces Of atmOs-
pheric electricity. 1t is suggested
that a possible method of collecting
the energy would be to send up bal
looms surrounded with a network Oh
conductors. 1t is thought that by
means of a transmission line carried
up a mountain SO as to give a differ
ence in laGtude of about 800 meters

that this should make2ayailable a pos

asked how much he paid for that

Old! Do you call nine yssrs an
old horse?" he asked, and then he
was told that the horse was twenty
seven years old. Whereupon the
man promptly drove to Mr.. Morton's
and demanded an explanation, calling
him liar.
Mr.. Morton replied that he had TOLD
him the truth, and nothing but the
truth, and said: you fool didn't I

HOME" FOOD FOR DYsPEPTlcs
New York Woman Makes Much Money
by Supplying It.

The American habit of overeating
With its consequent train OF stomach
troubles, has brought abouIOa curious
business in New York. 1t is that of
supplying food such as mother used
to cook to patients whose digestions
have got out of order ana who are
taking the rest cure" for the affect
ed organs. .C1his novel business en-
terpriSsl is carried on practically by
one Wehian who has made a name for
herseltamong stomach specialists in
this city by the purity and the sim
5.licity Of the soups and bzpths sng
makes for invalids. She Began 10
cook these dishes several years ago,
her pla8r consisting of one hall bed
room, big gas stove and one old col
ored woman to carry on the actual
work Of tho cooking rnder her direc-
tons.
Now her business has grown to
such proportions that she has a whole
h0nse devoted to it, the latsF feature
of her trade being this of srpplying
food to patients who are living tenn
pofarliy in the big hotels. One of the
first things a doctor does nowadays,
when he is called in to attend a pa
tient afflicted with the ills that come
from overlooking, is to lay down the
law that the rich hotel fare shall be
cut off and the simple, wholesome
dishes from this unique establishment
be substituted. 1t is not an expensive
substitute, for the prices charged by
this woman make even those asked at
the st. Regis seem cheap in compari- |
son. So valuable do specialists con-
slider these wholesome foods that ore |
physician is seriously considering
one of the dwelling houses on
rae same block with her establish |
ment into a sanitarium to be near the |
base OF supplies.-New York Press.
