POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
Will Examine Suspicious Mining Prop ositions to Suppress.
 Fakirs.

It has long been felt and often re- marked that the PC5toffice Depart ment of the federal government could render excellent service in the sup pression of illegitimate mining by prosecuting alleged mining companies for fraudulent use of the mails. From steps now being taken 1t would seem that the agitation for this assistance is 10 bear fruit and that the fraudu- lent mining organization will have still mCTe difficult trail to travel. It has been found necessary to secure more definite proof of using the maiis to defraud prospective investors, and accordingly investigations of alleged properties will be undertaken in con nection with the work, of the post office inspector. Careful examina- lions will be made into the claims of the many companies now sending their literature l,roadcast over tine country and evidence will be collected that will be used to break up combina- eions that now prey upon the creduiity of the investor who iS ignorant of min ing and everything that pertains there to. The work of the Postofficc De- partment has been most efficient ln coping with some sf the most notori- ous swindlers in the United States, and should prove of inestimsble value u mining.

MOUNTAIN VIEW
 MAY BE SOLD Mining Engineer 0n Way from Denver to
 Decide

A meeting of the beard of direc- tors of the Mountain View Mining Company was held yesterday morning in the office of c. A. Mcdonald for the purpose of consulting with MT. Schuster and hearing amendments to the originally proposed option, which he asked from the company. The di- rectors declared themselves in favor Of a sale of the property to him for Sl5O.000, the amount first offered, minus commissions and other ex- Tenses.
 Under the terms of the option which was yesterday given Mir. Schus- ter, he and those associated with him in the venture will have six llOa.hs in which 10 make thorough explo- ration of the property before making tfe first payment. whicn s..a D, E3 per cent. of the whole purchase price. During the six months allow Il fer exploration he is to have in his en- ploy a number of men. the number being fixed in the option, to assist in the development work. An expert in mining. now en route from Denver, will examine the mine, and at that time the option will begin to have life. If he finds the mine as repre- st nted, the signing of the option will take place immediately, provided the report of the expert is favorable.
 Minority stockholders have ex- pressed hostility to the deal being put through, as they believe the mine too valuable to be sold at this price. A
 
 April p, at which dime the matter will be referred to all stockholders. Ii is expected that it will be put through unless litigation should occur, as the directors are by far the largest stock holders in the corporation.
 One of the original locators of the ground, and the former secretary of the company, G. S. Crockett, was in the city yesterday endeavoring to se- cure from the bank, where it had been deposited in escrow. g 800 shares of the company stock. This was done at the organization of the company for the purpose of keeping il of the market. at a lower value than treasury issues could be made. for the purpose of raising funds for development of the property.
 Mir. Schuster is said to be very well pleased with the way the affair has turned out, and the people who are well informed believe that he is right in feeling so, as the property is one of the richest prospects which has been developed hereabouts for sUme time past. A vein of almost solid silver was opened up several weeks ago. Three men have been employed ol the property up to the pi esent.

WHERE HE IS
 OFFICERS DON'T KNOW
Spent Money at Gambling And Did Not Pay
 Creditors

After spending money over the gambling tables which he should have spent in paying for goods he ordered. Earl Herkenrath, a tailor, who has been in Bisbee for three months, has left the city without settling with his creditors, and leaving his partner, ment, according to the story told by Ross.
 Herkenrath has been running a tailor shop in the Shattuck building for the pass two months. All the clo Siing. according to Ross, which he bought, he obtained on credit. The sales were made to customers on time. When the bills became due; Herkenrath began campaign of cor lecting. It is charged that all she money he collected he spent over the gambling tables instead of forward ing to the firms which. extended him credit. their. share of the money. In each instance. he told Ross. the cred itors had refused to pay him. After watching him, Ross says he learned HerkenraIh had been spending the money over the gambling tables.
 It is not known where Herkenrath has gone. He told friends he was go- ing to Cananea, although they claim he bought a ticket for Fl Paso. Bills to the amount of over s175 have been presented to Ross.
 Whether any action will be taken to bring Herkenrath back to Bisbee to answer to the charges of fraud. is not known. An investigation has been instigated to ascertain his whereabouts. So far he has not been located.

SMALLPOX SHOULD
 NOT ALARM PEOPLE
Dr. Hart Advocates As The Best Preventative,
 Vaccination

q do not see any provocation for , alarm among the people of Bisbee on account of smallpox. I have been in the Territory exactly twenty-two years today. during which time have cared for hundreds of patients suffer- i ing from smallpox, and have had none 10 die. In Bisbee two are reported to be dead from smallpox. l believe that each of these patients have failed to be vaccina.ed and their systems were in very bad condition" This is the statement made by Dr. Hart yesterday in discussing the smallpox situation. Dr. Hart has been in the Territory just twenty-two years yesterday, and in BiSbee three years. During this time he has at tended hundreds suffering from small
 pox.He does Tot regard the disease &S dangerous. unless it is hemorrhagic, and contends thaG the altitude of Bis
 bee is more conducive to recovery from this disease than a colder eli mate and lowe~ altitude.
 He stated that while he was prac- ticing medicine in Manila. he had smai ipoX, as the principal disease, to consend with. He said that there was not a great deal of danger unless it was a hemorrhagic case.
 In Bisbee two years ago he attend ed a number of patients who had the disease in a continent form. Some of these were in tents. or brush houses. The chance of catching cold with this disease is much less than in other illness. even though exposure be greater. Climatic conditions and the altitude he found 10 act a3 a restora- tive.
 DT. Hart refused to discuss the two people who had died here within the past three weeks of smallpox, because he had nothing to do with their cases. He contended that death was prob ably due 10 bad blood and not being Yaccinated.
 Dr. Harts opinion is corrobated by other phy 5icians in the city. They all advocate vaccination for immunity, and contend the disease is in much milder form than was prevalent sev- eral years ago.
