POWERFUL PUMPS
 EMPTY MINES or WATER

TOMBSTONE, Nov. 2t.-An idea of the magnitude of one days pumping operations at the T. C. NJ. Co. mines may be gained from the fact that yes terday's record of pumping reached the total of 6,67l,32i gallons.
 This enormous volume of water forms veritable river. The two water columns from the 000-foot level of the big shaft send forth little over 5000 gallons a minute, and the huge pumps are kept going day and night without intermission.
 Despite the heavy expense involved in this operation the general plans as heretofore outlined will be adhered to, nor is the company in any wise dis couraged by the difficulties confront ing them, nor do they falter one mo. ment in thir determination 10 reacn the ultimate goal.
 If the volume of this days. pump ing record were put in Standard Oil tanks rufU HS t''Nku' '' stone daily, each ear having eapa' city of 10000 gallons, 1t would re- auire a train five and one-half miles | in length to transport the output for single day.

 With the return of two verdicts of guilty, Judge Sloan closed yesterdays session of the district court, adjourn. ing aud cxcusing the trial jury until 9;30 o'clock Friday morning.
 A verdict of guilty was returned by the jury in the case of Joe Yamata, Japanese, charged with assault vita . deadly weapon. The convicted "brown man. carved two fellow Orientals in the Japanese club rooms, September 26, and according to the evidence, at. tempted to slice two others who in. sisted that he sever his membership in the social organization of the city in which only the native of the Flowery Kingdom hold membership.
 Yamata's only excuse for desiring to carve his fellow Japs into the hap. py hunting grounds was that he was intoxicated and consequently not re- sponsible for his sspguinary acts. His views were not shared by the mem bers of the jury which returned a yer diet of guilty, recommending him to the mercy of the court. In answer to query of the prosecution on cross examination, he denied naving killed a fellow countryman in Alaska, al. though some of the witnesses for the prosecution claim that he did. Yama- ta was remanded to the custody of the sheriff to await sentence Friday.

Montero, indict- cd on a similar charge in connection with the cutting affray in the wigwam saloon in Jerome, the nignt of Au' gust 15, returned n verdict of guilty. Attorney Reese NJ. Ling, for the de- fense, gave notice immediately that he would move for new trial. He asked the court ,o allow his client lib. crty on the bonds already furnished. His request was granted.

(From Wednesdays DailyD


 Almost the entire session of the dis. trict court yesterday was occupied in the hearing of the cases of Ebarita Mascias and C. Montcro, who were among the principal participants in a bloody afrray in the Wigwsm saloon in Jerome, the night of August 15, in which ten men including officer King were more or less severely slashed. A verdict of guilty was returned in the Mascias ease after twenty minutes dcliberation by the jury and at the time of adjourning court last evening all of the evidence in the Montero case had not been sumbitted.
 The evidence introduced in the | Maseias case showed that the fight started over racial differences between Mexicans and Spaniards. Mescal beer bottles, chairs and knives were used in the conflict whicn was stopped only after officer King had rushed in among the men, six shooter in hand which he used as club after he had been dangerously wounded by tho combatants, frenzied by intoxicating liquors. It was shown that Maseiai was the only one engaged in the ahra, who mad been seen using a kaifc, al though ten men were bleeding from knife wounds, more or less dangerous after peace was restored.
 l It is hinted by tho defense in tho Montero case that one of the princi pals in the bloody conflict, known a Blondy," escaped arrest.
 According to the evidence the 6gh was going on several minutes befor Officer King arrived. When he enter cd the door the place rang with bite imprecations in the Castilian tongue the clash of chairs over the heads O the combatants, and the smashing O beer bottle against the wall when the. had missed their mark.
