That the defendant and several oth- CTS smiled at the remark that he made, whereupon he (Townsley) ad. dressed some remark to the defend. ant. who stated that he did not want to have any trouble and went to the rear of the room and sat down.
 In ten or fifteen minutes Townsley returned to the Hermitage and want. ed to know where those fighting = of - were.
 Hart immediately got up and went outside, hoping to avoid any diff culty. Townsley followed him oul with an open knife in his hand. This was taken from him. whereupon he remarked that he would whip Hart anyhow, and again made some insult ing remark, at the same time strik. ing the defendant. The blow was re. turned and the fight followed with the result as outlined in yesterdays Re view.
 The jury found that the defendant acted entirely in self-defense and brought in a verdict accordingly. Hart seems to bear good reputation. does not drink and seems generally peace ably inclined.

It is probable that this place will be far ther south of the property, in the di- rection Of Warren.
 Collins, when asked for a state ment in regard to the Santa Rosa property. said operations were being carried on rather an extensive scale, and that the results obtained have been very favorable. He stated that the new wagon road which has been under construction for some time past will be finished in a comparatively short time, after which still larger development operations will be car ried on.

BASEBALL WAVE HITS BISBEE
 WITH FORGE
Plans Now Formulated For Ac- quiring And Support Of First Class Aggregation Of Ball ToSSerS.

Toward the end of the season and after most of the cities of the terri tory and other portions of the south west have secured first class teams ito represent them, Bisbee has be come enthusiastic over baseball, and it is probable that an aggregation of ball tossers comparing fayorably with the best in this section of the country will be put forward and supported by local people.
 At no time in the past has the national sport aroused so much en- thusiasm in the southwest as at pres ent, and all of the principal cities are supporting good teams Cananea, Tucson, Prescott and other cities are represented by teams composed of players who could well make their Twin gfollowing the sport and at last Bisbee and the Warren district seems to have awakened to the fact that such an organization locally would af- ford a great deal of amusement. of which everyone knows there is little enough in the daily routine of this, the greatest copper camp in the coun- try.
 Gui1 MelLlcT, ucH dTTlfdl III AulS section, came forward with a propo- sstion couple Of weeks ago to or ganize good team, importing players from the east, and since that time a great many of the business men have become enthusiastic over. the move ment to the extent of donating money to support it.
 Four players, whom Metzler sent for, arrived in the city on Monday and yesterday practice game was arrang- ed for the purpose of working the new men out, and getting an idea of their ability. The tryout is reported to have been satisfactory and arrangements are now being made for the acquiring Of several other well known players 10 fill out the team.

Extensive Development.


 Metal prices or share quotations have little effect on the companies which are engaged in extensive de yelopment work, such as the Globe Consolidated, Superior and Boston, National Mining Exploration, Arizona National. Calumet and Globe. Union Copper and others. The Globe Con solidsted Gem shaft was measured yesterday and just passed the 1000 foot mark This shaft is considered one of the best feats or mining in the district. as it is just about a year since the work of sinking began. The shaft will be sunk 20G feet deeper, as it WIS recently decided to sinR 10 the I200 instead of the HOO level, So that depth equivalent to the 7S0 level Of the Giobe-Boston shaft of the com pany may be acquired. At the Globe Bosson or Mallory shaft. the station on the 780 level has been cut and lat eral work will be started as soon as the large pump is installed. The com pany is working eighty-six men at present
 The Gibson and Warrior Copper companies continue their shipments of high grade ore to the Old Dominion smelter with slightly diminished forces at work The Continental and Keystone mines of the Old Dominion continue to make heavy shipments to the shelter. Work. however. has been temporarily discontinued on the New York and Chicago mines of the old Dominion.

Acting on this basis one would have to gather in a whole package of credit and hand 1t to the members of the Emerson Musical Company. who during the past couple of days, while ever mindful of the fact that they were guiltless of owning the price of next mornings breakfast and three thousand miles away from home at that, smiled on scattered audiences with a facility that would lead one to believe John D. Rockefeller was a "piker" in the millionaire business.
 Never has it been more apparent to the people of Bisbee that the pro fession of acting was one wherein the ambitious soubrette might be playing the part of a miliionaire's darling before the footlights, and at each exit looked up to a half eaten ham sandwich that she had left lying in one of the wings, in order to ap- pease the ceaseless gnawfng only known to one who has been short on filthy lucre and long on appetite.
 Since being stranded here the mem bers of the Emerson company have put on two benefits, both of which were poorly attended, in spite of the fact that they were far better than anything given the Bisbee public dur ing the few days that the prima don na after whom the company was nam ed allowed the audience to listen to her CalyesQue warDle, and watch with a nervous longing that she would quit the sublimely graceful steps she trotted.

.OLO STAGE DRIVER
 HAS LONG RECORD
Tells Of Facts That Throw The Stories Of Others Far Into
 The Shade.
Albuquerque Journal.)

The publication in the Morning Journal recently of the record of an Arizona stage driver who drove 15,000 miles in a year, has served to bring out the records of half dozen men in New Mexico which beat the Arizo- na record, and which are furnishing some very decidedly interesting sta tistics as to the old stage lines of this country.
 Yesterday Colonel W. s. Hopewell handed to the Morning Journal a let ter from J. W. Orchard, formerly of Hillsboro, but now in Woodward. Okla. Mir. Orchard modestly did not desire his name used, but his record as a stage driver is most extraordi- nary ore, and since he is now a very successful railroad contractor. em. ploying lots of men, and his stage driving days are over forever, his rec ord belongs 10 the public. The let ter follows:
 Woodward, okla. Sept. 16. MC-W. s. HoPegeu, NM.
 UedNFTTenu7- I5 VfspT1Iu6 s that cut from the Morning Hi1g Journal 0iTi=fisasi of the 14th inst These chaps think they have done some driving. If you remember tine first two years after times got hard and I had to go to driving myself, I drove two years straight clean through to Kingston without missing a trip. Counting sixty miles a trip, I drove 42.S0O miles without a lay-off. Bill Hubbard drove fifteen months, making 27,00O miles. without a lay-off, of a single day. He drove 46,S00 miles with a lay-off of eight days at the end of fifteen months.
 Please call the attention of the editor of the Morning Journal to ibe fact that he never heard of any long driving This man was 1000 days driving his 15,000- miles and thinks 1t was going some. We never had an accident and never missed train and left Kingston at 4:30 a. no. and had only a margin of twenty minutes between our arrival and the trains departure. Thousands of travelins men can yoHch for this.
 This man Hawkins boasts that he had few rlinaways. but nobody hurt We drove the best stock in the eoun try and never had even a runaway We hauled more stuff in a week than he did in montb. and never lost any thing. Yours truly.
