FIND BIG NUGGETS II
GOLD NEAR
GLOBE
Rich Placer Mines Are Dis
covered by Acct
dent.

Globe. Ariz., May 21.-An import
ant discovery of placer gold near the
head of Steamboat Springs canyon,
on the southern slope of Dripping
Springs range, one and three-quarters
miles southeast of Troy, has caused
considerable excitement and an in
rush of prospectors from adjacent
mining camps. The scene of the find
is twenty-five miles west of Globe.
The find was made several weeks
ago by Mexican leaSers on a claim
owned by Frank Wilde, and in a
very short time the MeXicans took out
by the dry panning process about
500 to $500 in coarse gold. The
largest nugget found is worth S42,
and another, valued at $50, is in pos
session of Thomas Kavanaugh, now
in Globe. Some of the yellow metal
recovered is in the form of wire gold
i'm pieces the size of a four-penny
nail, and the nuggets and wire pro-
jections and edges showing little or
no erosion, and indicating that the
source of the placer gold is near by,
The discovery became known at
Troy, last Monday through the sale
by the MeXicans of their gold to John
Kavanaugh, and a man named Brown,
who owned two claims adjoining the
claim being worked by the MeXicans,
went at once to Mr.. Wilde, the own
er, and secured a working bond on
the rich claim, dispossessing the Mex
leans - &NW8u
Brown started to work on the claim
last Wednesday, by wet panning,
packing the gravel on burros TO
Steamboat Springs a mile and a
quarter, and carrying water back and
washing the gold both at the springs
and on the claim. He is making 1t
pay, although the methods pursued
are slow and labOrious.
The gold is found about 500 feet
from the top of the mountain, in
disintegrated quartzite, and the gulch-
es below for a mile and a quarter, to
the springs prospect fairly we'll
Kavanaugh Bros, bought the west
extension of the Wilde claim, at the
head of the gulch, which also shows
| coarse gold, and probably equally as
rich, and they have located three
claims adjacent TO 1t. They have
| two men employed prospecting their
ground A number of locations have
| also been made by other parties.
| Near the discovery runs an old trail
| that was travelled by soldiers passing
back and forth between Fort Grant
and Silver King, and the recent find
| recalls the fact that one of Uncle
! Sans boys in blue many years ago
| found a very large nugget in that VI
| cinity, which he sold to Charley
| Brown of Tucson, who had 1t on eX-
| hibition in his saloon there Tor

MRS. STEVE ADAMS
WITH MRS. HAYWOOD

Boise, Idaho, May 21.-Mrs. Steve
Adams usually occupies a seat near
Mrs Haywood, and is one of the chief
figures in the case. Her husband was
arrested a year ago on the charge of
being implicated in the conspiracy to
murder Steunenberg. Pinkerton de-
tectlves worked on him for a long
time and secured an alleged confess
sion that was repudiated by Adams a
few months ago.
When Adams deserted the prosecu-
ton he was taken to Wallace, in
northern Idaho, and tried on the
charge of numbering a claim jumper.
The jury disagreed Adams is still
I'm Jail at Wallace, but will probably
be brought here to testify. He is
in the list of states witnesses.
Is a Witness for Both Sides.
Mrs. Adams has the distinction OF
having been summoned as q witness
by both sides. What the state wants
to prove by her as a witness is a good
deal of a mystery What the state
will get from her in the way of evil
dence, unless it is secured by main
force, is no mystery at all. Mrs.
Adams is a witness for the defense.
She is handsome young woman,
of good form and well gowned. Like
the other women in the case-that is,
the relatives of the prisoners-she has
had so much of anguish and excite
ment in the past year that she has
gained thorough self-control and
nerve-racking experiences are now
endured by her with apparent COM
pOsure.
Orchard Tried To Influence Adams.
When Adams was arrested he and
his wife were living with Adams
uncle, ]. w. Lillard, a wealthy land
owner in Oregon. Adams was lodged
in the penitentiary I'm this city. He
was placed in quarters with Orchard
and the latter urged him TO assist the
cause Of the prosecution. The only
persons who were allowed to see
Adams were the chief prison officials
the attorneys for the state and Pink
erton detectives. He finally made Z
long statement. Thereafter he was
a favored guest.
Mrs. Adams was sent for and the
family occupied a cottage I'm the pris-
on grounds. High officials, even tn,
governor, visited them. The visiting
list was limited TO these dignitaries

San Francisco, May 21.-The COM

merclal organizations to take over
the power of Mayor Schmitz with the
latter's consent for the purpose OF
bringing about some order in munici-
pal affairs, resigned last night,

are at the head of the graft inquiry.
Wanted to be Fair.
At the two-hour session of the COM
mittee Saturday morning little was
accomplished besides attaining

the situation, but at the close of the
| meeting Chairman F. B. Anderson, on
| behalf of the committee. made an inn
portant statement of its purposes and
plans.
"Our first object" said Anderson.

The trouble began Immediately
with the organization of the commit

Then came the trouble encountered
