An important etrike on the 55O- foot level of the Arizona Commercial is reported. The ore body shows for 25O feet in the floor of drift and is known to be twelve feet wide at the west erd.-The Superior and Boston is shipping forty tons of ore day to the E Paso shelter. One car from the winze below the 55O-feot level gave returns of Is per cent copper and 20 ounces in silver.-Mining Re- view.
 Jim Jefffies. the great "Jimma da Jeff'' himself, is coming to Arizona. Jeffries will appear at Phoenix the evening of February 27 in vaudeville. The name of Jeffries is known wher- ever English is spoken. He won the heavy weight championship from Bob Fitzsimmons and held it as long as he cared to- Then he voluntarily relin- quished the title. Just at present there is some speculation as to whether he will enter the ring again to wrest the laurels from Jack Johnson, the colored Texan, who whipped Tommy Burns of Canada at Sydney on Christ mas day.
 It is already apparent that one of the most bitter fights of the session will be the one waged by the prohi- bltionists of the territory. They are anxious for law which will secure prohibition in any city or precinct by majority vote in it's favor. In Phoe- nix monster petition is being circu- lated among the churches, and is be- ing signed by approximately all the me mbers. A few members of churches have refused to sign on the ground that unless a two-t thirds majority is secured local option law would be ineffective by reason of a lack of suf- ficiently strong public opinion to insure the enforcement of the law.-Ex.
 The new plant of the Ell Tiro Min ing Company in the Silverbell district will be completed and ready for oper- ation about the middle of February The Fl Tiro mine was financed about a year ago by the American Finance l& Securities Company and more than SLOO,OOU has been expended in i'm provements. among which is large concentrator now nearly ready for operation. About L$l2. 900 a month is now being expended at the mine and development operations being con tinued steadily. A large tunnel Is be- ing run through a mountain to give a direct route to the Southern Arizona Railroad, over which the ore will be shipped to the smelter.-The Miner and Stockman.
 z. B. Stuart. president of the Black Mountain Mining Company. arrived from the East this week, and is at the Oerro Prieto camp now. Under the concession obtained recently frem the Mexican government, for importa- tion of fuel oil at nominal rate of duty the Black Mountain Min ing Company will be consuming 2 oil under their boilers within a very short time, which will result in a great saving in the cost of operation and reduction of ores. It is estimated that the saving will be about one dol milled daily at Cerro Prieto runs up to 500 or 600 tons the saving contem - plated will be quite an item. These mines are in Sonora.

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

Especial to The TIBfES.)
indianapolis, Ind. Jan. S0.-The dem
ocratic members of the house tried to
get together and hold caucus last
night on the local option question, but
they failed to do a thing. During the
day call was sent out for the caucus
and it was given out that a definite
stand would be taken by all the demo-
Gratis. one way or the other. During
the day. however, three of the demo :
Gratis. Hostetter of Putnam county,
Clore of Franklin county and Merriman
of Wells county served notice on the
liberal forces that they would appear
at the caucus and make a formal state
ment that they would refuse to be
bound by any caucus action. They were
against any and all efforts to repeal
the county option law and they told
the other side that there were sixteen
of them in all.
This threw bomb into the liberal
camp, but the leaders did not believe
they would dare to carry out their
purposes. But when the time came
last night for the caucus to open only
| thirty five of the fiftynine democrats
in the house were present This was
less than a quorum and nothing could
| be done So they all quietly slipped
out and went home without doing q
single thing. The meeting was not ever
called to order.

men We're present, showing that they

report as to the position they take OF
the question. But thy did not have tC

The fact that so many of the mem
bers remained away from the caucus
| is taken as an Indication that they dt
not care whether the county option

j not losing any sleep over the matter
| This indifference is worrying the lead

Another caucus has been called 70
Monday night. but it is believed nov
that no effort will be made to bind tn
democratic members to any course 0
action of the local option question.
this is true it means that there will b
no legislation along that line at thi
session.

about locker thefts, which he said had

writeup helped fill up some space and
looked well in print. but the faculty

A regular nor'wester followed by
a drop in temperature and blowing
of a 50-mile-an-hour gale with clouds
Of dry snow struck the Calumet re-
gion late yesterday afternoon and has
ragged with unabated fury ever since.
The storm is the fiercest of the
winter and in addition to bringing
suffering and misery into the homes
of the unfortunate or improvident, it
caused considerable property loss in
various parts of the region.
Railroads Suffer.
| Al lof the railroads have suffered
more or less and traffic has been de-
J layed considerably. Through trains on
most of the railroads are from one to
three hours late.
The storm seemed TO have struck
Gary with the greatest velocity. The
winds are always high in Gary, but it
seems last evening as though the town
was to be swept from its foundations.
The snow was blown in drifts around
the big business blocks on Broadway
and the city had a forlorn appearance.
Windows Blown In.
This morning the plate glass window
in Brennan and Stringfeliow's drug
store. at Sixth and Broadway, was
blown in. while several other windows
were cracked. The wires of the Chi
cago Telephone company in Gary are
in good condition and there is no in
terruption OF the toll service. but over
on the mill site the telephone system of
the Indiana Steel company is in bad
shape as result of the storm and the
damage Is estimated to be at least 5000.
Suffering Great.

Hammond is in control of the court

came home last evening to get away
from the fight to take n rest. The
Hammond delegation will return to In
dianapoIis this evening and renew the
contest. Though the ride seems to have
turned in HammOnd's favor the boys
are not quitting the fight; they are

the credit for putting up magnificent
fight when the odds were nil against

The members of the returning dele
CATION say that A. F. Knots should
be given the credit for the magnificent
fight he has been making. Knots has
been a tower of strength. He has more
than offset what his brother, T. E.

McCracken PreciDItates Trouble.
On the other hand, Attorney Nc

Sincere In His Statements.
That he is sincere in his statement
