ed Presiding Judge of the Superior

room in the house and had been evict-
ed The pair were conversing with
the woman in low tones when Mrs.

a blow in the face. The woman fell to
the faor and he began kicking her.
When sue became unconscious he hur-
ried into the room where she kept her
money and other valuables.
Mrs. Wulzen, who came running into
the hall upon hearing the commotion,
found the pair searching the room in
company with the woman they had
been talking with in the hall. All
three fed as Mrs. Wulzen appeared
and disappeared around a corner. They
could not be found by a policeman
who arrived later in response to an
alarm raised by a messenger boy.

bed since the assault and bears bruises

BIG RETURN IN VALUES.

The South San Xavier Mining com pany has received returns of s521 on a carload of ore shipped to the El Paso smelter. The property of this company is located twenty miles south of Tucson and a good strike in oxide and sulphide ore was recently made there. The company has award ed the contract for the further devei- opment of the property. Another car load of ore is on the dump which is being enlarged daily from the work ings of the mine, but the principal work at present Is the sinking of the double compartment shaft, which is expected to encounter large vein al less than 200 feet. It is freely pre- dicted that the South San Xavier will prove a greater bonanza than the old San Xavier which has large bodies of ore from the surface to the lowest workings. The contiguity of the South San Xavier. copper group 70 the silver belt indicates that these ores will carry very large percent age of silver as well as good values in gold. All of this news Is of es- pecial interest to Tucson, as the prop erty is owned and financed by Tue son people, s. N Franklin being pres ident of the ompany.-Tucson star.

BUTTE AND ARIZONA

The Butte and Arizona, while situ- ate in the Huachuca mountains. half a days travel from Bisbee and the Warren District. is practically consid- cred as classed among local opera tions, Bisbee being the headquarters of the company's Arizona representa- tives. No property in recent years, outside the limits of the Warren Dis trict has elicited the interest of the Bisbee mining public that Butte 6 Ari- zona has. Prominent among it's ex- ecutiye corps are former Bisbeeites, Jack Hoatson, formerly identified with the Cole interests as superintend- ent of the L. s. & P, being general manager. while Tom Stafford, also a former Cole mine foreman, is superin- tendent. Evidence of the existence of magnificent ore bodies has rewarded development at the B. & A. Sulpbides in plenty giving good returns in cup per values have been found in nearly every foot of work so far done. At present winze is being sunk from one of the tunnels already in ore and dl zU 1eet QepIn idSL week was Sllli III ore assaying 12 per cent copper. The B. & A. is in Ramsey canyon adjoin- ing the Princeton property A high fine railway, probably narrow gauge. is among the plans of the company for connecting the mines with the E. P. & S. w. While surveys have been made, no definite route has been chos- en. but it is not unlikely that should the present plans materialize the junction will be west of Hereford.
 Rumors reached Butte last week to the effect that Butte & Arizona ground was contained in an old Mexi- can grant, titles to which were not valid. This has been disproven and shown that the ground has been open to entry and location under the min eraI laws.
