IN POLICE COURT
Sentence Suspended On Man Sus-
 pected of Theft.

For two years the police have been on the look out for Tony Yarvasea who was employed by the Water bury. Brass company before he left town. On May 16, 1904, this man was seen leaving the yard of the Brass company with a roll of some- thing under his arm. It turned out to be a roll of window wire screen, weighing ten pounds and worth $1. A few days later the man was dis charged and he finding it impossible to get work here went to New York, leaving his pay check for one weeks wages with a cousin.
 Yesterday as Officer ColesantO was going out West Main street he met face to face with Yarvasea and took him into custody charged with theft of the wire screen. In court to-day before Judge Burpee the man was defended by Attorney Guilfoile and the defense was that the man used to load and unload the company's freight and it was a custom to al low him to keep whatever stuff he might find in the cars.
 He said he found the wire screen there.
 Hans Christian Anderson, watch man for the company and Horace Beach, testified. The latter stated that window wire screen is not made by the company but the wire for the screen is and it comes back in scrap as screen. Sentence was suspended.
 John Graney was fined $5 and costs for intoXication.

Area of the United States.

The United States geological sur
vey has just issued bulletin 3O2, by
Henry Gannett, which represents the
result of conference and cooperation
OF the land Office, census bureau, and
geological survey in an effort to
agree on what constitutes ''the area
OF the United States The absence
Of a standard of measurement for de-
termining the area led to a dis.
crepancy between the tables of the
census bureau made in 1887 and those
OF the general land Office prepared in
1899. The result of the cooperation
of the departments is that the area OF
the United States proper, which is
given as 3,O26, 1S9 square miles, has
been increased over the census figures
by l.lSS square miles. The bulletin
gives the area of Alaska as 800, SS4:
the Philippines, ll5,O26: Hawaii, s.
449: Porto Rico, 3,435: Guam, 2lO;
Samoa, q, and the Panama canal
strip, 474 square miles.

Hauser Wins Mining Suit.

WASHINGTON, Dec. A. The su-
preme court of the United States has
dismissed the case of Granville Stuart
versus Samuel T. Hauser and others,
all of Montana, involving the owner
ship of the Peacock, White Monument
aud Helena mining claims of the
Seven Devils mining district in Idaho,
estimated to be worth 81, DOC, 900. The
controversy is of many years stand
ing, and grew out of the intimate per.
sonal relationship between Stuart and
Hauser.
They were partnership owner in the
mines at a time when Hauser was
president of a now insolvent bank ir
Helena. Stuart was indebted to the
bank and made a deed of his interes,
to Hauser, and, while he claimed tina,
the transaction vas intended merely
to secure his indebtedness to the bank
the deed was shown to be without such
condition.
Hauser, in turn, conveyed the prop
erty to another party. Stuart's sui
was instituted to compel the pur
chasers from Hauser to return tn,
property to be held as in trust fol-
Stuart. The courts decision wa:
favorable to Hauser.

Nevada's Mineral Wealth.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Eleven mil.
lion dollars ia new gold will be pro.
duced by Nevada during the present
year, and In 1907, GO, DOC, 900 worth of
gold will be mined in that state. This
prediction is made by Director of the
Mint Roberto, who is just back from q
tour of inspection of the western min.
ing camps. Gold mining is booming
in Nevada, he says, and feverish &C.
tivity prevails throughout the entire
region. Railroads are being con-
structed to promote the development
OF the mines, and every available foot
OF ground in the vicinity of the valu.
able mines is being staked off. The
great fields of gold have made numer.
Gus ~millionaires, and incidentally
have brought into existence q plethora
of wildcat companies. One of the
latest methods decided upon to adver.
tise the great gold country is to run a
train 70 the smelling works at Salt
Lake City laden with 81, zoo, 900 worth
of gold ore. Director Roberts says
that ''it Is asserted by men competent
to judge that q copper region has been
discovered in Nevada that will rival
the Butte district in Montana"

An Arizona Ereshet.

BISBEE, Ariz., Dec. 4.-One. of the
worst floods in the history Of Clifton
came down the San francisco river
and Chase creek last night. The prin.
cipal business section Of the town was
almost completely ruined. From seven
to twenty persons is the reported loss
Of life. Only d name is obtainable,
however, at this time. Mrs. Jos. T..
Home, with her husband and children,
was caught in q falling building and
killed. The other members OF the
family had narrow escapes.
One of the saloons which was washed
away carried several men into the tor.
rent and they are believed to have
drowned. A woman and a child were
lost in a small restaurant which was
dashed to pieces in the food. A num-
Der of small frame buildings in which
people were known to be living were
destroyed and it is expected that a
number OF families have persisted.
The Coronado railway, from Clifton
to Longfellow, is destroyed. 1t will be
several weeks before business can be
resumed over the road. The financial
loss cannot be estimated.
