STRIKE IN BISBEE
BIG COPPER CAMP IN FEVER OF
EXCITEMENT
Excavation for House Leads to Dis
covery of Gold ard Silver As
saying $1317.2s-Shafts
Sunk

By Associated Press.
BISBEE, Ariz.. June 4.-This city
was thrown into fever of excitement
today by the discovery of gold almost
in the center of the city.
George L. Miller, who came here re-
Gently from Los Angeles. while exca-
waiting for a new house up Brewery
gulch, noticed the appearance of the
quartz being taken out. Miners on the
job also examined it and declared 1t
high grade gold ore.
Specimens were taken to the office
of S. j. Varney, where an assay gave
the following results:
Sixty-two ounces of gold $1240; 13S
ounces of silver, $77.2S; total value per
ton, $1317.2S.
Work on the excavation was imme-
diately stopped and three shifts of men
are at work sinking a shaft. The out
cropping from which the specimens
were taken and in which the shaft is
being sunk is about five feet wide and
runs toward the Cochise claims.
Men who have been in Goldfield and
Cripple Creek say that there was never
found better indication of a gold mine
in either of these camps.
For years Mexicans have been max
ing a living placer mining both further
up and below where today's strike was
made.

rushed to the place on their wheels,
but as they got in sight of Perkins
who was standing on the sidewalk, he
cried: Here goes. boys, good by" and
raised bottle of acid to his lips.
Burke dashed the bottle from the
mans hands, but not before he hac
swallowed about half of the contents
of an eight ounce vial.

him to the receiving hospital at the
city Jail, where Doctors Garrett, HUFF

known to medical science In an effort
to save his life.
Their work was without result, how
ever. as Perkins died within ten min
utes after reaching the hospital.

DEFENSE CLOSES IN
LAND FRAUD CASES
BENSON EXPLAINS DEALINGS
WITH HYDE
Admits Journeying to Washington and
interviewing Clerks in Land Office
with View to Fastening
Action
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Wtih the
redirect examination of John A. Ben
son the case of the defense as to the
part Benson played in the alleged land
frauds of 1902 was closed today in the
HYDE Benson Dimond-S Schneider trial.
Benson, who has been on the stand for
two days, closed his testimony with a
brief outline of the business relations
he had with Hyde prior to signing a
contract with him and after 1t was
rescinded. He stated that they were
business associates and that he (Ben-
SOM carried his designs to such an eX-
tent as to visit Washington to see
clerks in the land office for the purpose
of having cases expedited. He denied,
however, that any great volume of
applications were filed by him through
Hyde's office or that Hyde filed
through his office. He was questioned
as to the great number or selections on
file here in which he appeared as an
assignee, number of his clerks ap-
pearing as the applicants.
Witness denied that he ever took an
ectiye part in furthering the sale of
Oregon lieu selections after he was
apprised that they were defective.
Hyde's messenger was placed on the
stand and testified that Dimond was of
the opinion that 1t would be necessary
for Hyde to back up his titles with af-
fidavits. These, witness stated, Hyde
made an attempt to get. All the rec
ords. however, were lost in the San
Francisco earthquake and fire.

Attacks Mayor, Gets Licked And Goes to
Jail

The following account, from the
Wilson Creek World, tells how an in
considerate farmer tried to whip the
mayor Of that town.
John F. Wilson a rancher living two
miles northeast of Irby, went into the
Farmers drug store last night and de-
manded that he be given telephone
communications with Irby at once.
Mayor R. H. Lee was acting as opera
tor and was busy getting call into
Spokane for a waiting customer. VIII
son used abusive language to the mayor
which would not look good in print and
Mr.. Lee handed him several swift
uppercuts and assisted him from the
store with the aid of bystander.
Wilson was put in the cooler and
later released by order of Police Judge
Emmett on putting up a cash bond to
appear in court today. A later account
in the daily press stated that during
the trial, while the case was being
argued, Wilson made his getaway.

REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL
A Short and Unimportant SeSsiOn-Three
Bills Allowed

All the members of the council were
present at the meeting last Tuesday
night The lack of urgent business
had a somnolent effect on the council
as well as the spectators.
The police committee recommended
that two doors be put in to better ven
tilate the Jail.
Councilman R. T. King reported
that he had talked with Mrs. Thomas
in regard to the damage claimed for
the pest house being located on their
land and recommended that the ten
dollars damage claimed be paid. The
report of Mr.. King was adopted and
the money ordered paid. Engineer
Sussex presented report on the side
walk grade near the Big Rock corner
and the whole matter was referred to
the Street and Alley committee to be
examined into and reported on at
future meeting of the council.
The street work done by the resi-
dents on Main street between Eigth
and Ninth streets was approved.
John Stopple asked the council
to allow him until the first of October
to move his barn which is about one
foot in Front street. He agreed to
make all repairs in the sidewalks when
the barn is moved The request was
granted.
The council donated $500 as part
of the prize to be given for fireman's
race on the Fourth of July.
w. ]. Moon was given permission
to use part of the street for building
purposes on Front street.
The following bills were allowed.
Marshall Bohnsack, meal tickets
and Jail supplies S12.
Clerk Hamilton, salary and supplies
$3.50
Councilman King moved that a ten
foot room be cut of the back end OF
the fire apparatus room and the same
be connected with the Jail by an iron
door and an iorn door be put in the
back end of the room. The police
committee was instructed to have
the alterations made.
The council discussed at some
length the propriety of making those
people who come here occasionally
and offer goods and wares for sale, re-
naming a week or two and then de-
parting, pay an occupation license.
The opinion appeared to be unanimous
among the members that those who
come here to compete for business
with local merchants who pay their
taxes ought to pay for the privilege.

Dr.. B. F. Roller of Seattle vies with
the totem pole in being an object Of
interest and pride to Seattle citizens.
He is a husky surgeon who enjoys a
large practice and took up wrestling as
recreation. There was nothing in
the amateur field to make him work
hard enough to keep himself warm so
he commenced to take on the profes-
sionals. In one year he had defeated
all of them except the champion of the
world and he goes after that gentle
man and his title on July 1st. Seattle
did not take much stock in him at first
but now is thoroughly interested and
will fall over itself to get a good seat
from which to see Roller go after Gotch
next week. 1t should be a wonderful
match. There will not be enough
room in Dreamland rink to accommodate
the Seattle people who will apply for
tickets so if anyone outside Seattle is
counting on being here at the time and
taking in the match he had better write
W. E. Brown, 473 Arcade building,
and have seats reserved.

How are your strawberries Seattle
has had to wait a long time for her
home grown berries, as the sun per
sistently refused to come out and
winter seemed to have taken up his
permanent abode in the lap Of spring.
But all the while the berries were grow
to manhood in their green state and
when summer stole into town over
night, making the thermometer give
startled jump upwards millions of ber-
ries as big as hens eggs ripened almost
in day on the hill sides surrounding
the city. Prices went down as rapidly
as the thermometer went up and the
whole city got busy making jam and
preserves. The strawberry season was
late but it was wonderfully productive.
