 SAN ANTONIO, x. M, Aug. l.- That greatly overworkcd term, "the unwritten law" coined by some law yer in behalf of his client, may make it's advent in New Mexican court, this fall, when Mrs. Louis Peraita is brought to trial for shooting, with in- tent to kill, little Jesus Padilla, anu should the boy, who now lies seriously wounded. succumb to his injuries, the cnarge against her will be murder.
 Mrs. Pefalta has already retained counsel, who says that he will ask for the release of his client when her case is called, upon the "unwritten law" !" alleging that the woman fired the shot m defense of the honor of her daugh. ters.
 Mrs. Peralta and her husband were yesterday given a preliminary hearing and bound over without bail 10 await the action of the grand jury and the outcome of the boys injuries.
 About 10 o'clock, Sunday night, Mrs. Peralta, who resides with her husband and two daughters, one of whom is married, but not now living with her husband, at San Antonito, small farming community, near this place, heard someone knocking at the window of her daughters bedroom. After call ing out to inquire who the intruder was, Mrs. Peralta secured her hus- bands shot gun, and after twice warn ing the prowler away, discharged the contents of the gun through the win dow, the entire charge of buckshot finding a victim in Jesus Padilla, aged It. who was standing but fifteen fest from the window when the shot was fired.
 A physician was hastily summoned after it was discovered that the vic tim was but boy. Dr. Deifenbach responded but after probing four inches into the boys body. was m able to locate but two of the shot. The lad now lies at his fathers home at tho point of death.
 After her arrest Mrs. Peralta told the following story of the oceurance' which led up to the shootingi

WHISPER MAY BE HEARD
 100 MILES BY MACHINE.

LONDON, Eng, July 3j.-An as tonishing invention has just been sub mitted to his majesty, the king, at Buckingham palace, which its author, K. N. Turner, an American, describes AS "an improvement upon the tele' phone." Its name, nowever-the dieto. graph conveys an inadequate idea of its character, for it neither dictates nor writes. It is not q photographic recorder, nor is it a new sort of a gramophone. But is resembles the last in that it speaks with a loud voice whenever somebody st the other end of the ordinary telephone wire ad. dresses the transmitter. It is not necessary to shout into it or at it.. One may stand at any distance, say fifteen feet, from the box, which is less than . foot in length. This is all the apparatus visible. A whisper will suffice, and that whisper will pass, as m experiment has proved, through a mans body and n couple of cushions deliberately muffling the instrument. At the other end of the wire, which may be in totally different part of the same building or 100 miles away, n stenographer provided with an ear piece, listens, and without strain or effort can catch every word. even fl spoken under breath. Provided with inc dictograph, n business man may, I without moving from his chair. com municate with half dozen or more secretaries in turn, each one in his or her room, and all messages will be ab' solutely private, passing through no exchange and overheard by no one The secretaries reply 10 any question asked, and the replies come with weird effect out of the mysterious box com taining the highly sensitive receiver And, above all, the dietograph imposes no tax on the voice. There is no buzz ing of the wires to distract attention and one Is not compelled to assume ar uncomfortable attitude or apply th, ear to anything at all. One simply talks naturally or listens, as the eas, may bc, and the instrument does tho rest.

ARIZONA MINES MAKE BIO CAIN
From Thursdays Daily.

"'From the reports of the clerks of boards of supervisors of the thirteen counties in the Territory that have reached my office during the past month it appears that the gross out. pui for the year 1906 of the mines of the Territory subject to taxation un. der the new mine tax law amounts to sj3,32i, ,090.7J,' said Territorial Auditor John II. Page, Co Journal. Miner man, ycstcplay.
 "undcr the mine tax law one.four,h of the gross output, or $13,3ti,li7.22, is subject to taxation. If these figures will be added the assessment of the non.productivc mines, patented and un. patented, and the improvements on the properties. which, from the present out. look. will swell the amount to over .2O,0O0,000.
 ''In my opinion, n wonderful change for the better has been made in the matter of mine taxation. The large
  concerns arc now bearing their just share of the burden of government Two years ago, before the board of equalization made n raise on the mines of the Territory under the old law, the total assessed valuation of all the mines in the Territory. including all classes of mining property, was only si,50o,O00. and now, under the new mine tax law it is almost five times ns much.'
 The following table shows the gross product and assessed valuation of the producing mines in each county, the output of which is subject to taxation. with the exception of Apache and Navajo counties, which have no pro. lucing mines:

While Archie Chisholm and Charlie Salazar were double -jacketing in the shaft now being sunk on the Baldwin property, located about twenty five miles from Benson, their drill struck a charge placed by the previous shift that had missed fire, causing an ex- plosion injuring both men, salazar ser iously, perhaps fatally.

The find was in q new shaft and the ore was SO good that it was sacked as taken from the earth. No news is allowed to leak out about the strike any more and no one except the employees, are allowed on th' premises.
