Arizona Has
 Valuable Marble

A Washington, D. C., dispatch says:
 "The msrLIe prospects in the Chirl- cahus mountains, Arizona, were in- vestigated by Sidney Paige, of the United States geological survey, in 1908, st the request of supervising architect of the treasury. The two gron. of deposits examined are in Cochise coInty, Arizona, and are sC- ces-ihie from Bowie. Arizona, and ROdeo, New Mexico. The rock is practically a nearly pure carbonate Of lime, of medium grained crystalline granular structure, and IS white, with pinkish tones. It is probably av,il- able for exterior building and for in- terior decorative use. Tests of the marble were made at the geological surveys structural material lahora- tory at St. Louis. Mo. A report on the investigation appears in the sur vey's bulletin 3S0-I, which may be had on application to the director at Wash. ingtop.'

CASTR0's FORTUNE GONE
SpolIaiIon Of Late "DiCtalOr's"
Property Was Systematic.
APPEAL TO CONGRESS ARCHlVtO
Last Efforts of late "Dictator's"
Friends to Awaken Sentiment In
Behalf Of Fallen idol Dies Natural
Death In Committee Room.
CRx Associated Pressl.


CARACAS, Aug. 10.-The much
heralded appeal for Cipriano Castro
TO the Venezuelan Congress which,
after being read in Joint session,
was referred by Castro's friends In
that body to Il special committee for
report, has died a natural death In
the committee room and instead OF
the desired report the curious ex-
presidential message has been archiy-
ed. Thus last spasmodic effort OF
the friends of the late dictator to
awaken some sentiment for their fall
len idol has failed. and the expatriate
In Santander has not even had the
satisfaction of having his words re-
produced In the Venezuelan news
papers, as must have been his wish.
Inc symstematic spoiation of the
fortune which Castro LETT behind him
in Venezuela has proceeded with such
gigantic strides that, after the first
six months, the Ave million dollars
Of known assets have been almost
totally wiped out.
Castro owned one million dollars
of cigarette shares which had been
given to him as his share of the pro
motion of the cigarette trust few
weeks ago the directors of the
cigarette company sold the five mil
lion dollar concern to a private indi-
vidual, Senior Garcia Guerra, for $780,
900, notwithstanding tina. on the day
of the sale the shares were quoted
on the exchange at 25 per cent prem
lum. A new company which took IN
all the old stockholders except Cas-
tro. was formed. An order was is
sued by the commercial court to have
the 5000. deposited In the bank OF
Venezuela to- the order of who ever
might be the holder of this block OF
stock. In one day one million dol
lars Of good money became hfty
thousand. II was Immediately attach
ed by ,he individuals who have law
suits pending against Castro for the
recovery Of properties and damages.
A German citizen named Theodore
Hauer arrived few days ago with
the million dollars of cigarette shares
In his pocket, and he claims that these
belong to him by virtue OF purchase
from General Castro. He will begin
action against the alleged perpetra-
tors of the reorganization which
.'froze out" these shares OF his.

interviews With officers Who Are

center of attraction at the session OF
the court Of inquiry today. She took
the stand smilingly. was willing wit

points of Lieutenant Adams.

1t was noticeable from Mrs. Park
crs testimony that whether or not
Adams and Sutton were friends.
Adams and Mrs. Parker parted most
amicably after a little dinner party
lasting couple of hours and ending
about midnight at local restaurant,
at which Adams was enc OF Mrs.
Parker's guests. Mr.. Birney, coin
sci to Lieutenant Adams. did not
press Mrs. Parker TO any extent on
REORGANIZATION.
No Confidence In UtIey.
In reply to his question she said
she talked to Lieutenant Utley, but
did not go deeply with him into the
matter of her brothers fight. because
she had little confidence in Utley.
Lieutenant Osterman, she said, told
her he did not understand her brother
was unpopular. Lieutenant Potts
had told her her brother was a
coward. She had not read the record
OF the earlier inquest at the time OF
the talk with the officers named.
Speaking of her interview with Lieu
tenant Adams and the dinner follow
ing at which. he was. she said, her
guest. she testified that they were at
dinner for about an hour and that
their parting was amicable.
To Mr.. Davis, Mrs. Parker said she
had told her mother on returning to
Portland her experience while at An
napolis.
Sergeant Major Henry l. Hubert
testified that private Kennedy. who
gave testimony at the present inquiry,
contradicting that of some OF the ma
rine officers involved in the case, had
a good record; that be did not know
Kennedy's reputation for truthfulness.
but he would believe any statement
he might Spake under oath.
Cartridges Taken Apart.
Lieutenant Willing was recalled and
said the cartridges taken from Lieu
tenant Sutton's revolvers were taken
apart by order Of the board OF inquest
lin order TO decide from which revol-
yer. the service weapon or his own,
the bullet that killed Lieutenant SUIT
ton was fred. That bullet, he said,
was slightly fattened on one side OF
the nose. and was of the sort found
afterward in the revolver.
Lieutenant Adams, recalled by Mr..
Davis. testified that he did not give
Sergeant DeIIart the pistol which the
latter said had been handed him by
some one he could not identify on the
occasion Of the shooting OF Sutton.
and that he does not know by whom
the weapon was handed to DeEIart
