NEWS OF THE TERRITORY.

Charles Coleman, who was arrested
last week for exhibiting a deadly
weapon in a threatening manner,
was sentenced by Judge Thomas to
spend seventy-ive days in the county
Jail. The felony charge against
Coleman was reduced to charge of
misdemeanor on motion of the dis
trict attorney.-Belt.
Archie Merrill, who has been
absent from the city since the latter
part of November, came in last week
from the mountains near Fort
Thomas sporting corduroys, yellow
legs and Van Dyke trimmed down
to a needle point, all of which has
led to the conclusion that Archie has
become mining expert.-Belt.
A number of additional papers have
been filed during the past few days in
the case of Randolph VS.. Lindsey, in
which the plaintiff sues to recover
5000 shares of Cananea Central
stock. The answer of the Cananea
company was fled last Saturday.
The company admits that it had an
agreement with Greene to deliver to
him the 10000 shares upon the pay
ment of $50, 900 and that the COM
pany is ready to deliver the stock as
soon as the question of the title has
been settled in the courts.
Martin Costello, the well known
capitalist of Tombstone, was in
Douglas recently receiving the glad
hand from many friends. Mr.. Cos
tello formerly owned the IRISH Mag
and several other claims that now
belong to the Calumet & Arizona
people. Mining business, he says, is
booming in the Gleason district.
The Copper Bell and. Leadville prop
critics are working full blast, and de-
I velopment work is being rushed on
many prospects. Mr.. Costello owns
big bunch of claims in the district
which he intends to open up as soon
he can. He says that the Gleason
district will blossom into another G.
& A. proposition; that the surface
indications are more promising than
the Bisbee camp ever had although
the formation is much the same. Mr..
Costello has been in Arizona for
twenty-four years and has noted its
many wonderful changes.-AmeriCan
A Nogales dispatch says: Trouble
seems to be brewing for Albert w.
Brickwood, Jr., appointed American
consul at Puerto Cortez. Honduras,
and at present acting consul at No
gales, Sonora. 1t is alleged that
charges of "absenting himself from
duty at time when danger threat
ened and general incompetency and
unfitness for the position" have been
sent to tho secretary of state at
Washington. 1t is not known just
how soon an agent of the govern
ment will be sent here to investigate
the charges, but it is believed one
will be sent. Specifically it is al
legged that during the month of Sep
tember, when so many people along

revolutionary outbreak in the Mexi-
can border towns, which outbreak
was looked for about the sixteenth of
the month, Brickwood absented
himself from Nogales, Sonora, al
most continually for about ten days.
What is believed by the finder to
be a tin mine has been discovered
within the bounds of Moricopa
county, less than twenty-five miles
from Phoenix, by H. B. Smith.
Smith refuses to give the location of
the property. He has known of it
for some time, and only recently
made a trip to the mine, where he
did little prospecting work and re-
turned with samples of the ore,
which will be sent to expert assayers
to be assayed. It has every indica-
tion of being tin ore, says Smith, but
whether it will be of grade high
enough to develop it will be ascer-
tanned after the assayer has made
report on the the samples. Smith
took samples to Ezra Thayer, who
will send them to an expert assayer.
The sore resembles very much a
sample that he has from a tin mine
in North Dakota. Tin at the present
time is demanding topnotch prices,
and the tin-producing mines are be-
ing exhausted. The greatest pro-
ducing tin mines in the world are at
Cornish, England, and Smith says
that if his property proves to be
what he thinks it is, it will exceed
the Cornish mines. There is an
enormous amount of the ore in sight,
says Smith, and it would take
from noon to sundown to walk over
the ledg dge.-DemoCrat.
