NEWS OF THE TERRITORY.

Despondent over mining claims, as
 he was walking along a lonely noun
 tain trail that runs through the
 Tongue Verde canyon, near the juno
 tiou of the Rincon and Santa Cata-
 lima ranges, James w. Mitchell, of
 Tucson, last week, deliberately pulled
 out a six-shooter and pressing the
 muzzle against his breast, snapped the trigger. Death was instantane-

 Four furnaces are now in operation at the old Dominion shelter and un- less orders from the east to the con- trary are received, they will be kept iu continuous operation. The fourth furnace was added to the active bat tery last week. Progress on the 18th level has not as yet been sufficient to ac ;urately determine the character of the ore. As it was on the 14th
 level, the ore next to the tootwall is low grade concentrating sulphide. Former Mine Superintendent Barray stated that the indications now evil dent on the 18th are a fulfllment of the anticipations of the manage ment-Belt.
 Several slot machines in the lobby of the Bank Exchange saloon were raded but not by the police. A ce uent worker, P. J. Hoolihan by na ne, who had probably been reading ab put Anthony Comstock's strenuosi- ties, became affected by looking at the pictures of one of the machines to such an extent that he proceeded to kick them up some and before he ha concluded he had several of them out of commission. In the police court Judge Thomas cautioned HoOli- han about his bump of destruction and fined him fifteen white scrips and the price of the repairs to the ma chimes, all of which Hoolihan prom ise to come through with.-Belt.
 A woman called on Judge Thomas and informed him that d man who lives by himself in North Globe had for some time been making improper proposals to little girls and that her Syear-old child was one of them. The justice inquired if a warrant for the mans arrest was wanted and pro- ceeded to fill one out, when the wo nan interrupted him, saying that she did not think one was needed. She then told the justice that on be- ing told of the mans insulting re- m .rks, she had gone to his place of re ,idence and had, with nothing more tn ln her fists, beat up the insulter, until his face resembled a flank steak | or something to that effect. She in- timated, however, that if the per formances were repeated an under ta ker would be required.-Belt.
 The long expected ore strike at u e | Old Dominion has finally been made. A round of shots fired in the crosscut | from the winze on the 18th level of i the mine broke into the footwall of | sulphide vein No. l, an event which | has been anticipated with consider able interest not alone in local min ! ing circles, but in eastern and north ern copper circles as well. Nothing definite has, as yet, been learned of the character of the ore on the 18th but Mine Superintendent Kingdom stated that it was a great deal like tue ore on the 14th level in the same veln. The vein was struck at almost inc identical distance estimated by the local management. President | Charles s. Smith, of the Old Dominion Copper Mining & Smelling company, | arrived in Globe and when informed | of the strike expressed himself as 1 highly gratiied.-Belt.
