back through the door. The shots were fired so rapidly he could not tell just how many were fired. Witness was asked if he saw any one trying to climb out of the window and he stated that he did not. He said that when Hanby fell down on the floor he saw a pearl-handle pocket knife by him and when asked if it was in case at the time he saw it he replied that it was not
 Several witnesses were then called in by the defense to testify as to the pre- vious good character and standing of Chandler in the city before the shooting.
 Pinkney Scott wanted to ask the ques- ton of the witnesses as to whether they knew his general character to be good or not, and objection was made by the other side, which was sustained, and the following question was asked. Do you know MT. Chandler's general character to be one of peace and order?'
 Capt J. M. Crook said he knew it to be good; he had never heard Chandler's character discussed.
 G. H. Stevenson could not tell anything regarding his character. with the excep- ton that he had had business dealings with him, but had never been associated with him in a social way.
 MT. Rosenbaum said his character was good.
 D. H. Fulton could only tell his opln- ion of him and this was not what the court desired.
 J. F. Gallagher stated that Chandler's character was good.
 W. E. Benns stated that Chandlers character was good.
 George Bancroft stated that Chandler's character was good.
 l. A. Lewis stated that Chandlers char acter was good
 During the sparrfng match between If fba att po1I of cil for the defense, seemed to be under the impression that the court was not treating him exactly fair He said he only wanted what was right, but he did not want to see flesh made of one and fowl of the other. Judge Jackson told him that the court would rule as fl saw fit, and if he intended his remarks to be construed as insinuation against the justice of any of the rulings of the court. the matter could be taken up on the out side after the adjournment of court and could be settled there. MT. Bell stated that he meant to tell the court the way he felt about the matter. The matter was passed over by Judge Jackson.
 Judge Jackson took occasion to remark to the attorneys during the examination of witnesses that he made 1t a rule in his court to have the remarks of the attorneys addressed either to the court, the witness or the jury and not to each other. He stated that, of course, if any of the gentleman had any Birmingham money that they did not want they could easily get rid of it, as he would impose a fine of $50 on the next man that failed to comply with the rulc.
 Court adjourned until tomorrow morn ing at 9 o'clock in order to give the attorneys from Birmingham time to catch the 5:3O car, and Judge Jackson had all the witnesses called in and im- pressed upon them the fact that he did not propose to have to send for them tomorrow morning in order to get them into court and the first one that was not in the court room on time would be fined $50

Another Placer Gold Discovery.

A Mexican discovered placer gold in Copper canyon two. months ago, but kept the fact secret from everyone but Lawrence Citidina. He made a confident of Lawrence and together they quietly prospected the ground until Lawrence became satisfied that the gravel would average 40 cents to the pan. He then went to work to obtain lease from the Ray Copper company on 800 feet of ground in the canyon and finally succeeded. He then organized placer mining con- pany to work the ground.
 They have hauled 30 yards of the gravel down to Mineral creek, distant about 300 yards, and are now install ing sluice boxes for a test run. The gold is coarse and practically free from alloys. This placer ground is within few hundred yards from the town of Ray and people have been tramping oyer it ever since 1874. But as it lies in the heart of the Ray cop- per zone, no one ever thought of pros- pecting the gravel for gold till Mexi- can prospectors invaded the camp Arizona Blade. ....

Big Copper Strike.

The Madeline shaft on the Big Lead property at Ray reached depth of 300 feet this week and penetrated the zone of secondary enrichment. The results were so surprising as to cause Superintendent w. B. Twitchell to climb right up into the air. When the first round of holes penetrating the zone of secondary enrichment were fired and the muck cleaned out, the entire bottom of the shaft sparkled and gleamed with massive punches of pure virgin copper about 1000 fine. It was enough to make brother Twitch- ell take to stilts. We saw specimens of this pure copper Tuesday that would weigh five or six pounds each.
 If the primary or sulphuret ore bodies are not encountered immedi- ately below this zone of secondary en- richment, it would be contrary to all mining experience of the past, hence the shaft will be continued down as fast as possible.
 Supt. Mitchell is now having trus- tie work constructed across Copper canyon for car track from the Made line shaft to the concentrating plant of the old Kelvin Reduction company, so that said mill can be operated on ore from the above shaft. This plant will handle as much ore as does the Big Lead mill, hence inside of few weeks the company will be milling 100 tons of ore per day and will then soon reach the dividend-paying period.

Rumor has it that large number of the McCracken properties have been jumped, the allegation being made that sufficient work was not done on them last year. It is too bad to have cloud placed on the title to mining property just as a deal is being made, and we hope nothing will come of the attempt to cloud the title to a good property and participate in the distri- button.

It is reported at Yucca that the di- rectors of the Benedictine mining con- pany are expected in that place today and that they will go at once to Cedar to make settlement of all indebted ness. The company will arrange for a large amount of money with which to begin development of the properties owned by it and under bond. The shafts will Se sunk to depth of sever- al hundred feet below the present lev ell. The company has relinquished its bonds on properties in Yuma county and will hereafter confine its attention to the Cedar mines. These properties are undoubtedly rich and it is to be re. gretted that more attention has not been paid to them by the operators than to exploiting roads and other side issues.

Owing to the big slump in copper
 prices the big copper companies of the
 country are preparing to curtail their
 output in the event that the market shows no appreciable gains in the next forty days. The Copper Queen is pre-
 pairing to cut the force down to a minimum, or just sufficient to keep the mine open, while the other companies are to do the same. The only mines that will be at work are those that are compelled to make a showing as to output. The big copper slump has upset all the predictions of the copper men, who believed that copper would keep above twenty cents until 1912 or later, and that the decrease in the production this year would have a stimulating effect on the market. So far this year the decline in the pro- duction of copper reaches more than seventy million pounds, and at the first of the year reports were sent out that there was less than 24,OOO tons of free copper on hand. It is now stated that the metals selling company has more than 100000 tons of copper on hand, with no prospective buyers. This latter seems impossible, but nev. ertheless it has had it's influence on the market and copper will not now reach above eighteen cents before the first of the year. .'

w. c. Howard is in Kingman from the Catherine and Pyramid mines. He reports that work on the proper ties is going on nicely and that some good ore is being encountered. A force of men are at work on the Pyr- amid crosscutting for the vein, and when cut an upraise will be made to the surface for air. This vein has shown some immensely rich ore on the surface and the same grade of materi- al is expected to be cut at the one hundred level. The Catherine shows large vein at the 400, but the rich ore shoot has not yet been reached in the drift, although the breast is so close that it is expected to cut into it any day.

In recent issue of Mines and Min ing appears the following merited tribute to the prospector: It takes a prospector to find mine and a capi- talist to make one. The prospector is mountain navigator-an explorer. suffering manifold hardships, persist ent and skillful in reading the rocks he tolls by day and sleeps exposed at night. At last, after years of hard work, perhaps, he makes his strike and tells about it. Capital steps in and investigates. The prospect looks good and receives favorable report. and he sells, often for song, compar- atively. The power of the almighty dollar now moves machinery to the spot, railroads follow, and soon the world reads of another bonanza. The prospector is hunting for another mine and does not seem satisfied unless he is "in the hills" Yet, after all, is he not far happier than the millionaire with his bad stomach and headaches?

J. l.. Witney is still working on the McCracken deal and it is probable that something tangible will be arrived at in short time. The only difficulty that presents itself in the consumma- tion Of this deal is the inability of the proposed purchasers to arrive at a method of working the ores. There is not quite enough lead in the ores to make them desirable for smelling and too much to handle by the other meth- ods. It is quite probable that smell ter will handle the ores, enough lead being purchased to make the right smelling mixture.

It develops on assays made in Yuma that the recent strike in the Mayhew Free Gold Mining company's property at Kofa is of immense importance, says the Yuma Examiner. The ledge of nine feet averages 49.4O$ instead of 25S as first thought and kidneys from a three inch pay streak run as high as 24,SOOS. These kidneys occur through out the vein in sizes as large as a mans fist. Frank Price, for years foreman of the Hodges mine and we'll known as a mining expert, returning from the new Mayhew property, re- ports it to be one of the finest pros- poets he ever saw. He believes it has the making of great mine.
