 W. M. Murphy, the mine foreman. who for several years past has been working in Frank Powers famous Worlds Fair mine, near Harsha W, this county, spent several days in the city the forepart of the week. having come down on private business connected with his Silver Queen group of claims adjoining the great silver gold bonanza in which he has worked so many years. Mir. Murphy said that at the present time there were more than $1OO, ,0O0 worth of ore on the Worlds Fair dump ready for shipment. He has severed his connection with the World and will now devote all his time to his own property, which he says has the ear marks of becoming another wonderful bonanza. This week local mining men visited the Sil : yer Queen group and may become in terested with Mir. Murphy.

September l5tb, was fit tingly celebrated in Nogales by the ever patriotic citizens of this city There were the usual appropriate ex- ercises at Ramirez Theatre on Tuesday evening, followed by patriotic dem onstration at the city plaza. One of the striking features of the exercises at the theatre was the singing of tie Mexican national hymn by young ladies, accompanied by others in the chorus. The usual salutes were fired in honor of the two great occasions, which passed off without unpleasant incidents to mar the pleasure of the two days celebration.

Interesting Letter From Rich Mining
 District.

Toledo, Son., Mexico, Sept. 18th, 1908.
 Messrs, J. w. and w. O. Dunt- ley, President and General man. sger of the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co. and s. w. Prince all of Chi cago are associated with Mir. Mil Ter in all the mentioned mines and results are expected with the dcvel- opment now under way.
 Agents representing the Cana nea Rio Yaqui y Pacific R. R. have been in this vicinity for several days buying cattle for the various constructing camps between Riolito and Cucurpe. They left Wednes- day with sixty head from Tonichi and San Antonio de Ia Huerta. Three head are consumed daily.
 A serious accident occurred at the mines of the La Dura Mining and Milling Go. some time ago. The main shaft of the "Pr1eta" caught make their escape and were suffo- cated on the 900 foot level. Up to the present time the management have been unable to recover the bodies.
 Yaqui troubles are not in evil dence in this part of the country and everyone travels without fear of being molested on the roads. A vigorous campaign seems to be pro- gressing against the Indians with good results and everyone looks forward to a quick cessation of the trouble that has hindered enter prises for several years. A number of skirmishes were reported near San Marcial with honors all on the side on the Nationales. Let the good work go of to a speedy finish.
 Adjoining the Libertad Mines are the preferences of the San An tonic Copper Co. numbering up wards of 1000 and are managed by States. Their mines have been de- veloped to such and extent that they have ceased to be anything like a prospect and a smelter site has been bought near the pueblo of San Antonio. The company are now positive that they have a real copper mine and large quantities of 17% copper ores are in sight. Mir. Wood is expected to arrive this month.
 Dr. A. J. Johnson, General Man acer of the Sonora Gold and Silver Mining and Milling Co. has been seriously i'll for the past week and has left for Memphis, where the main office of the company IS located. The Dr. who has been residing at San Antonio de la Huer- ta and developing properties there, is but a shadow of his former self and it is hoped that he will be able to withstand the ride to the rail- road distance of forty miles. His health is in such a precarious con- dltion that in all probability he will not be able to return to Sono- ra for some time. Mir. Seich, an expert accountant of Memphis, Is on the ground as assistant Man ager in charge of the finances and Mr Arnold late of the San Javier and formerly of Nevada, is in charge of the mine and mill. The tw" make good team and results are expected. Dr. Johnston's wife who has been at Venice, Cal, for some months, will meet her hus- band at Benson and accompany him East.

the Carrs and Craig have aroused
much interest in the cases In Lewis
ten, and the people generally are IA
vcrable to hearing all sides OF the
story and forming their own conclu.
sions as to who are the most guilty
parties.
During the past few days the city
has been filled with Orofino citizens
and persons residing in the Orofino
section, and from the different opin-
ions offered 1t is evident that the
community is divided over the mat
ter. The desire of the people Of Nez
Perce county is to see Justice pre-
vail in the cases now before the
justice courts. and where sufilcient
evidence is offered to show the guilt
OF the persons charged 1t is believed
! that person should bo to trial before
the district court.
"The proceeding before my court
last night was most unusual" said
Justice Of the Peace Coburn today.
The defendants, Dan Carr, Albert
Carr Homer Carr and Ben Craig,
had been arraigned, and through
their attorney, G. G. Tannahill, stat
ed they desired preliminary ex
animation. At this stage Of the pro-
ceedings County Attorney Needhan

An interesting development in the
cases against Dan Carr, charged |
with murder, and Albert Carr, Ho-
mer Carr and Ben Craig, charged
with assault with intent to commit
was the action before JUS
tice of the Peach Coburn last night
when County Attorney Daniel Need

dismiss the cases and this action wa
opposed by Attorneys Clay McNa

retained as special prosecutors by
the complaining witnesses.
The contention of the special pros
ecutors was again sustained by Judge
Coburn, and the men charged with
assault with intent to commit muir
der were released upon bonds OF
$1,000 each Bond was denied Dan
Carr because of the nature of the Of
tense charged. which eliminates the
possibility Of bonds, and the defend
ant was remanded to the custody OF

The feature of the case against
Dan Carr is that he has mot been
