Jack Biggs was arrested Mon
day afternoon on complaint of
Mrs. A. j. Buckland, charged
with disturbing the peace and
using profane and indecent Ian
guage. Biggs was brought before
Justice Clayton Tuesday morning,
and plead guilty to the charge.
He VISA sent to Jail for thirty days
and to pay the costs in the case.
Biggs put up the old story of be-
ing under the influence of liquor
and not knowing what he was
doing. The man has a wife an9
one child in very poor circum-

a child about a week ago. Had it
not been for the family he would
probably have received a much
more severe sentence.

IMPORTANT STRIKE III DIVIDEND
CLAIM.
(From Fridays Daily.)

News of another important strike
was brought to this city yesterday by
Frank Lnufcnberg, foreman of the
Jessie Mines company in the Chaparral
district. The discovery was made in
the east drift from the 100 foot level
of the Dividend mine, which was pur-
chased by the company some time
since from NJ. J. Hickey, Of Prescott,
and his associates.
In the face Of the drift and at
distance Of 275 feet from the shaft,
while boring with diamond drill an
ore body was struck, the extent Of
which has not yet been determined, the
core taken out by the drip assaying
s60.36 in gold and IS cents in silver to
the ton. The discovery in remarkable
from the fact that the ground being
prospcctcd by the drill was the vein
matter in the ledge situated ut some
distance from the ore body that is
Ionnu near tnt IoOt WIFI, ana WHICH
shows continuous throughout the ground
opened up In the mine. The drill was
only in distance Of three feet into
the face when the ore was struck,
aud n shot fred later uncovered what
is considered to be entirely new vein
Of ore that was heretofore not known
TO exist in the mine.
The Dividend mine il on parallel
lead with and "A short distance from
the Little Jessie vein, one of the
greatest gold producers of northern
Arizona. The ground since hs loca.
ton many years ago. has always been
considered to he very valuable. Many
thousands of dollars worth Of ore have
been taken from its workings, but this
latest discovery promises to place it
in an enviablc position among tho

PITTsBURG- JEROME MINE HAS A
NEW PLANT INSTALLED.
(From Thursdays Daily


ave now have our new hosting
plant and air compressor installed, and
are ready TO continue our shaft down
to depth Of 1000 feet" said G. y.
Cochran, a director Of the Pittsburg
Jerome Mining company, yesterday to
n .Iournnl-Mincr man.

all purposes are at our disposal, and
we are determined 10 continue the de-
vclopmcnt of the ground 10 n great
depth, as we believe from what we have
already seen that we have one Of the
hest properties in the country"
Continuing, he said, "ln the shaft,
which Is now down 10 depth of ZIG
feet, we found the mineral formation
persistent throughout the entire dis
tance. The formation passed through
dips at an angle of about 20 degrees
from the vertical, and shows either iron
or copper ore all the way down."
II was learned from him that his
company had by recent purchases in
creased It's holdings 10 81 claims,
which covered valuable timber and wa
ter rights. and besides showed good
surface Indications of the cxistcrco of
large ore bodies.

moving for the past week, and every
thing is in readiness to start the plant
on n steady run.
Col. Rigby came here about five
years ago. and in an investigation Of
the mineral resources Of this section,
discovered that the class of ores TO
be- found here was such as could be
economically reduced by the process
Of BIZ, plant. He Immediately secured
the site Mt Mayer, where it now stands,
realizing it to be the heart of one OF
the richest mining communities in
the west, and today win set the wheels
of the plant in motion, which has been
his bride from it's inception, and which
promises, in many ways, TO rcvolutionize
the old styles of extracting the values
from silicious ores, besides Transforming
the town of Mayer into one OF the
busiest industrial ccntcrs in the
county.
The works arc situate along the
Bradshaw Mountain railroad, from
which the ores can be dumped from

VOTE ON STATEHOOD AT THE
COMING ELECTION.
(From Fridays Daily ,

Eugene Brady O'Ncill returned to
Phoenix on Monday night from Wash
ington, and in an interview there said:
There is no longer any interest in
the statehood matter since the program
has been agreed upon. II has been
decided that the conference commit
tee shall report in favor of Forakc'
amendment, but neither the first For
akcr amendment nor the second one.
The first amendment provided that
the question Of joint statehood should
lac submitted at regular election nj
which there should also he voted for
the state officers, who should act in the
event Of their election and the adop.
ton Of joint statehood. The second
amendment provided merely for re.
fcrcndum, the vote 10 be taken within
three months after the passing of the
bill.
The amendment which has been
agreed upon provides that the election
shall take place nj the regular terri
torial election for the election of dele
gate to congress. and for the election of
county officers. This arrangement
will leave the question Of iointurc en-
tircly unhampcrcd and from the point
Of view of Mr.. O'Ncill il more advan.
tagcous to the territory than even the
second Foraker amendment would
have been.
II is proposed that the territorial con
vcntions of both parties shall adopt
strong anti jointurc resolutions and
that both parties Mt all their county
conventions shall do the same. Thus all
candidates will stand on platforms
nledging them TO work against joint.
urc. There would then be AT the
campaign meetings nothing but anti
iointure speeches. The result, IL is be.
licvcd. instead of showing that 90 per
cent of the voters are against joint
statehood, will show n practically un.
animous opposition TO il. II Is unccr-
tain. Mr.. O'Neill says, when the re
port Of the conference committee will
be made, but there Is no doubt about
what it will be.
