RUNAWAYs CAUSE or CONSIDER
 ABLE EXCITEMENT.
(Fssm wsdnesdsy's Dsily.)

One of the most exciting runaways seen in this city for many years took place on Montczuma street, yesterday Y morning. when the four horse team a,. 'achcd to John 4. Twiggs' stage started at brcakncck speed south on Montczuma stree, from the Kastner store. Adding to the excitement, the runaway animals ran into wagon be. longing to the Prescott Brewing com. pany, standing in front of the IIili Hardware company's store, frightcn. ing the team. which dashed south on Montczuma street in the direction of Goose Flat. In the collision with the brewery wagon the leaders of the Twiggs stage became detached from the others, making three separate teams dashing madly down the street.
 Henry Heinc, driver of the brewery wagon, seeing his team run away, started after them with the intention of climbing into the wagon. He was overtskcn by the loose leaders of the Twigg. stage, the horses running on each side of him. He was struck from behind by the single tree and thrown to the ground and badly bruised on one arm, but otherwise escaped serious in. jury.
 All of tho teams were stopped near tho south city limits, where the high hill slackened their speed. No dam. age was done to either animals or ve. nicles, although there were many close escapes of persons from being run down by tho animals. A weight was fastened to one of the leaders when the stage team started. This had tho effect of pulling the horses towards the sidewalk, where a number of tri. angular business signs on the west side Of Montezuma street were knocked down and broken by the swinging weight.

A number of men nave been employed for some time in its construction ana it is now about finished. As soon as n hoisting plant and pump ara in- stalled work will bc resumed in de- veloping the property. IL is out of the 1 question to sink to my further depth on the mine without pumping machin. cry. l hope to have the new plant in place and work going on again in a short time; at least before the heavy snows commence in the mountains along the route of the road"
 The doctor was accompanied by Joan Howard, who has extensive mining in. teFssts in the Hillside country and in other districts in the Territory.
 The company's holdings, consisting of eighteen claims, arc located about four miles southeast of Mount Union. A small force of men will be kept at work on the claims until the machin- cry is installed.

HUNDRED LAWSON HAs sE-
 CURED NEW MINES

GoLDFTELD, New, Sept 23'-H Is rumored that Thomas W. Lawson mas acquired n large Ely copper property The purchase is said to include the entire holdings of q. l.. c'Tex.'D Rickard, namely, the Boston Ely, the Riekard Ely, Ely Nevada, Ely cen' tral, Ely Northern, Ely Caiumet, Turner and other Rickard holdings. Included in the deal, in addition to Richards claims, aro said 70 be sev- eral groups heretofore the property of the Phcby brothers. Conjecture as to the intention of the new owners is idle at this time, but 1t is reported that the first procedure will bc the organization of n holding company, of. ter which Lawson will undertake the adequate financing of the enterprise. The story is generally believed by miners and additional color Is lent to it by the frequent trips of Rickard and Joseph Pheby to the east in recent months.
 In spite of strikes and other difficul- ties which Goldfcld has encountered, ore production has made clOsc ap. proach to the previous records. Last week the total shipments were 3,+l7 tons, valued at $39s,s75.
 The directors of the Greene Cananea Copper company have again passed the dividend on the $5O,OOO,OO company. An initial dividend on Greene Cananen is not likely until the Cananea Central is contributing more largely to tho earnings of the present company.
 Reports of the operation of the Ton. opah mills show they arc working up 10 their minimum capacities weekly. Last week the camps output, including the tonnage shipped out and tho amount treated nt the camp, showed n total of 5000 tons, or at the rate of 312,00O tons n year, q value of sll ,o0O,OO

------.------ mArTUCKi%RIZONA PRODUCING 400 TONS DAILY.

BIsBEE. Ariz., Sept. 2t-Tbc Shat. tuck Arizona continues to produce about 100 tons of ore daily, onc.half of which is oxide and the other sul. phide. The former goes to tnc Cop. per Queen smeltcrs at Douglas for treatment, while the latter is handled at Globe. Most of the ore is being taken from tho 700 and 800 levels, al. though some of it comes from tho 800. where n body of low grade orc was encountered some weeks ago. Tho winzc which is being sunk on the Loo claim at the 500 level continues in nigh grade orc. proving beyond doubt that the deposit is one of very large dimensions.
 During the past week the production of the Denn.Arizonn has been slightly enlarged, regular shipments being made to the smeltsrs in Douglas. Tho main attention is being given to the opening up of the ore body encount. cred oa the 1000 and HOO levels. stoping is going on steadily and most of the ore shipped is being taken from this portion of the mine.
 During the past week every effort has been devoted to the driving of tho tunnel from ths Higgins property into the Wolverine X Arizona group, with the idea of ascertaining whether the copper deposit encountered a short time ago has been penetrated. After going through about forty feet of high grade ore the tunnel again broke into m altered limestone formation, and has continued in it. IL Is probable that work in the tunnel will be dis. continued and attention given to the driving of an incline following the dip of the ore.
 On Monday operations were rcsum. ed at the North Bisbcc property, af. ter shut down extending over q couple of weeks for the purpose of re. tmb'flhR Inc smart and installing new machinery. A full force is now on the ground, sinking the shaft, ana driving the tunnel.
 Although at some of the properties production has been curtailcd owing Co the unsettled condition of the cop. per market, at the various shafts of the Superior Pittsburg operations have gone on the same as usual, and in fact slight Increase in produc. ton will be recorded for September. Most of tho output is from the Cole shnft, where development of the ore bodies is being prosecuted steadily.
 Al the various Copper Queen mines most of the attention is being directed

LADY uODIvA or YAvAPAI ELOPES
(From Thursday's Dsily.)

Another chapter in the cratic ear ecr of Della Gonzales, whe was confined in the county jail twice during the past six weeks on an insanity charge. preferred against her on account of her desire for appearing in public dressed only in natures rsiment, was begun Tuesday morning, at II o'clock, when she eloped from the county nos pital, where she has been confined, m. der treatment, for some time, with n young and dashing Mexican, whom she asserts is her lawful husband.
 Tho man with whom she elopcd ap' peared at the hospital at in th1 morning and asked to sec ner. He in. vited her for short walk with him around the place, and about II o'clock she returned and secured some clothing and was last seen making her escape with her lover, in n northerly direction, near the Miller Valley cemetery.
 The woman first came Co the notice of the officers when she appeared, nude and bleeding from numerous scratches, at the Bonnet rnhcn, on Banning Creek, at an early hour in the morning, last August, when she was given food and clothing and ccmforted until the arrival of the officers. She was then violently insane, and when lodged in the woman's ward of the county jail, divested herself of all her clothing. A few days later she showed signs of improvement, and was sent to tho county hospital. There she continued to improve, until one day she again di' vested herself of clothing and. gath cring all ths newspapers and inflam' mnble material she could find, started Are in her ward.
 She was again lodged in the county jail, but later rcturned to the hospital, where she did not indulge in any fur ther stunts until the arrival of her lover on the scene, with whom sne escaped, Tuesday morning. The of Gccrs and hospital attendants are au. thority for the statement that she is | woman of fair education and well vsrscd m the English language, in which she flnenily eonverses, in pref ercncc to her native tongue.
