 During the past week we have had the heads of the two big mining com panies with us. who have been look ing over the workings of the Warren district and at the smeiters.
 President James Douglas arrived from New York the early part of the week and has been inspecting the work at Bisbee and Douglas and has expressed himself well pleased with the progress in this district He also states that he expects the copper mar ket to be settled in the early part of the winter and activities begin to saTt back to their normal conditions.

TWO SIDES ID THE
 STORY
Case in Tucson That Shows the
 UnreliabiIity of Human Eye
 sight and Understanding When Passion Is Uppermost
(Tucgon Star.)


 A. J. Mcfarland, head cook at the Alameda restaurant. Alameda street and Sixth avenue, was arrested last evening and placed in jail on a charge or carrying a concealed weapon. IT I fhe events that led up to McFarlands ar rest are fairly exciting regardless of which side of the story you approach it from, but are thrilling if the prison CT can be believed. and there are some points of dircumstantfal evs- dence that prove he. was at least la boring under the belief that the con ditsons as he relates them really ex- isted
 The story as told against McFar- land was that he attacked and knocked down a waitress in the Ala meda restaurant. and that several men there gathered who witnessed the assault started to punish him. It was then alleged the accused ran out on the street, and being followed, pulled gun and made hostile dem- onstrations with it at the crowd.
 Not wishing to die even in a good cause, they let Mcfarland make his get away. They assert he then went to his room. where an officer found him at their instigation. Officer o'Donnell did find him. still possessed of revolver, and placed him under arrest.
 Mcfarland was seen at the iaii last night. He Is not more than 24 years old. bright-eyed. cleanfaced and is in- telligent and certainly not looking like bully or desperado. He said that while working around the stove in the restaurant he was annoyed by the waitress in question. He admitted they are not fond of each other. The girl refusing to get out of the way, he admits he turned her around and possibly with some roughness. pushed her. He was working with calves brains. and as his hands were no, clean, the push must have left marks of blood on her dress.
 The prisoner says several railroad men were in the restaurant, and made remarks and demonstration that made him afraid to stay. He decided to bolt. and securing a re volyer put it in back trousers pock. ct and skipped. The crowd started after him, and being afraid of bodily injury. he turned and warned them to keep back. keeping his hand on the concealed revolver. He said that he was so afraid that he did not try to get to his room but went into the first house that presented an open door, and told the owner that he came in for safety and wanted an officer. He further alleges that the household CT departed on this mission, and that when Officer oDonnell arrived he supposed he came to protect him. and that he still kept the revolver in his pocket, because he thought he had right to carry it under the cir. cumstances. Mcfarland does not know whose house he entered, and

WOMEN WASH OUT
 SOME PLACER GOLD.

PRESCOTT, Oct. 14.-Four fair placer miners of Prescott yesterday, while inspecting the historic Gigantic Creek placer diggings. about one-half mile south of the city limits. in the neighborhood of the Brooks ranch, washed" enough pay dirt to bring home to their husbands and sweet hearts several dollars worth of mug gets. The party was composed of Mesdames Monte Broaded and Hop kins and Misses Duke Lewis and Bes- sic Brown.
 The gold is supposed to have been uncovered during the recent heavy rainstorms that flooded Granite creek, along whose banks. in the days when the rampant Apache roamed untram- meled, save by the presence of adven- turous miners, thousands of dollars worth of placer gold was mined in the early sos. The ground has been worked over from four to six times since it's initial discovery, but each time yields well to the miners who scratch the bedrock, and that the soft, white hand of the fair miners can still purloin from it's secreted places the yellow metal is proof sufficient that old Granite creek still contains the stuff that glitters.
 Even yet old timers can be found wintering along the banks of this his toric and famous stream, digging for the yellow metal, or, when water is scarce, extracting the little nuggets by the dry washer process.
 About a mile above the Brooks plac- CT miners still wash the bedrock dirt when ever water is sufficiently plenti- ful, and on side creek, known as English Gulch, the ground is being worked over, in some instances, for the seventh time. with profit.
 Near the point where the female prospectors found their nuggets yester- day. the early pioneers dug out the yellow metal from the crevices be- tween the rocks in the bed of the stream, while others of their com rades stood on guard to sound the first warning of the approach of the blood-thristy redskins, who were ex- ceedingly hostile to the palefaces at that time

NAT GOODWIN IN
 MINING BUSINESS

GOLDFIELD. Oct. 14.-Nevada sat up and took notice last week when Nat c. Goodwin and his associates purchas- ed the Reliance and Vermont groups of mining claims, in the Fairview dis trict. for price reported to have been $90 900.
 This was far the mos; important mining property transaction of the month in the state, and it made Mir Goodwin the heaviest buyer of Fair view acreage since the first day of the boom in that camp. But by far the most important thing about it was that it demonstrated that in embarking in business in Nevada Mir Goodwin is moved by a determination to make mines. to deal fairly and squarely by the public, and to offer the choice of the best that Is obtainable to those whom he invites to join him in his en- terprises.
 Mr Goodu-in's lame as 2 player rests upon more than thirty years of almost unrivalled success on the Amer ican and European stage. His abili- ties have been proven by the success with which he has managed his theat- rical ventures. He is today one of the few men of the stage who own their own companies. His profits since he became his own packer and man ager have averaged more than s150,- 000 year. His success as a mining magnate rests upon the fact that he Is already taking profits out of wise in- vestments made few years ago in Alaska, and also from ventures made in company with other Nevadans, and in enterprises with which his name has never been connected.
 In engaging in mining enterprises in Nevada, MT. Goodwin has associated himself with men of high ability and repute, and he has engaged as his advisers engineers of distinguished achievements. He is putting into the undertaking the same sort of good judgment that has made him a sue cessful business man. and the same en- ergy that has made him one of Amer ica's foremost and best loved stage favorftes. Nat C. Goodwin doesn't fail in his undertakings, and his advent in Nevada has nowhere been more wei come than in the Fairview district, with which he has linked his interests.

DENVER, Oct. 14.-Denyer wrest- ling enthusiasts have seldom been so badly "up in the air" when 1t has come to picking the winner in an athletic contest as they are when attempting to decide who will win Friday nights wrestling bout at the D. 4. c.
 Dwyer and Wasem have met the same men on the mat in number of cases and each had about the same luck-both winning over the same wrestlers As a result, it Is difficult for the followers of the game to find performance by either man that war rants him to much consideration as betting proposition. It is likely that Wasem and Dwyer wifi enter the arena Friday night with the odds about even.
 It has been long time since Dwyer has been in such condition however. and with 20 pounds additional weight, picked up during his recent vacation in Michigan, he should be at his best The extra weight will be of consider able aid to him. and he says he will put up better article than he has shown for long time for this reason
