SENSATIONAL CHARGES
 AGAINST BOOTH & co.
That the Company's Books Have Been Juggled,

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Reyelations of a sensational nature were made pub lie today, regarding the failure of A. Booth & Co, the twelve million dol lar fish, game and seed corporation, which was placed in the hands or receiver Thursday.
 That the company's books have been juggled for that period extend ing back at least three years, IS charged in circular sent out b. in terested bankers, who also set forth that in the company's statements s1 200, ,0O6 have been deducted from the liabilities, and the books made to balance by similar juggling of the asset column.
 By means of this manipulation 1t is alleged that the corporation has been enabled to float paper that other wise might not have been accepted by the purchasers.
 Members of the Booth family are said to have been the heaviest losers by the mismanagement others 10 whom they reposed confidence.

B|SBEE-DULUTH MEETING HELD
 YESTERDAY
Officers Elected, and Three Compartment Shaft May Be Started This Fall On Claim One Mile From Warren.

Yesterday afternoon at Warren the board of directors of the Bisbee-Du- luth Copper company held meeting and elected the following officers: Charles ". Hicks, Bisbee, president; Harris Bennett. Duluth. vice presi- dent: C. H. Moves. Warren, secretary; W w Carley, Duluth, treasurer.
 The Bisbee-Duluth is located one mile east of the Warren mine. and has for some time been the subject of lively discussion among mining men. Assays have shown gold in samples taken from the claim. and it is de- clared that the nuggets washed out of the far-famed Gold Gulch" from time to time were really washed down from the Bisbee-Duluth claim by the heavy rains Aside from the gold, there are indications of copper near the surface. much nearer, experts say. than has been the case with many other mines that have made good"
 The country all around this claim has been taken up, many wealthy men being interested in the locations. The William Penn & Arizona Develop ment company. which is soon to start operations. is close by the Bisbee- Duluth, and it is understood that other interested parties in the neigh borhood will before long take steps to determine the value of their hold ings.
 It is expected that the Bisbee-Du- Iuth will begin to sink three com partment shaft this fall but the date will depend upon word from Duluth,
