BROWNSVILLE
AFFAIR AGAIN
PROBE OF SHOOTING SHOWS NE
GROES IN FORT SHOT INTO
TOWN DURING FIGHT.
SOUTHERN DELEGATION IN CON-
eREss MAY ASK AsoLl-
TON OF NEGRO TROOPS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Conclu-
sive evidence is said to have been
obtained by the military court of in
quiry in the shooting up" of Browns
vile, Texas, that members of the
Twenty fifth infantry, colored, who
were within the fort, fired on the
town at the time their companions
were racing through the streets
shooting right and left.
None of the members of the court of
inquiry would discuss the matter, but
it is intimated that a demand for the
abolition Of negro troops will be made
by southern delegations in congress.
Thus, the bitter debate that marked
the final days of the Roosevelt admin
istration threatens to be renewed
The evidence discovered by the Of
ficers who compose the court is said
to be susceptible of complete proof.
Certain members, it is reported. made
personal examination OF buildings
across the road from the fort in
Brownsville. They discovered bullet
holes in sides of three houses and the
bullets, which were of the regulation
army design. Following back the
line of fire, as shown by the track of
the bullet, the marismen could have
been nowhere else than within the
barracks.
Congressional defenders of the ne
gro infantry men maintained that the
only firing in the town was done by
men of the 25th who had broken par
ole and that former President Roose-
I;cb
without individual military trials,
had worked severe injustice on both
the companies and the regiment

w. GOULD BROKAW INSANELY
JEALOUS ASSERTS WIFE
SUING FOR DIVORCE.
Sent Long kilograms Telling Wife to
Be Careful Whom She Kissed
$4,000 Spent in Telegraph Tolls
Husband Drank Overmuch and
Treated Bride in Insane Manner.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-W. Gould
Brokaw's telegraphic admonishmenr
to his wife to be careful whom she
kissed, crimsoned her cheek and
brought tears to her eyes today as it
was read in the supreme court at
Mineloa, L. I. Yet this telegram was
introduced by her counsel, with
others, in an attempt to show the
young .millionaire's insane jealousy
and unreasonableness as justifying
the separation for which Mrs. Bro
kaw is suing, with 100000 a year ali
mOny.
The telegram referred to was in
trOduced in an interruption of Mrs.
Brokaws direct examination. 1t was
from Brokaw at High Point, n. c.,
to his wife, at their place at Great
Neck. L. l., and read as follows:
you know what 1 tod you about
kissing the doctor. When he attempts
to kiss you again tell him what you
have promised your husband. YOU
know if he kisses you 1 should not
want to kiss you again.
Previously in her testimony. Mrs.
Brokaw had told Of a luncheon at the
Hotel ST. Regis, at which a DR.. Chap
man was a guest and which her hus-
band, she testified, had interrupted to
accuse her of wanting to elope with
the doctor. The doctor on that oc-
casion, she said, had threatened to
have Brokaw arrested for using I'M
becoming language.
Incidents Of the honeymoon trip
through France, as related by the
plaintiff, otherwise enlivened today's
proceedings. Smashing doors to get
into her room, excessive drinking and
q cheerful invitation Of his to "come
and look at new gun and some cart
ridges 1 have for you," were among
the alleged occurrences she testified
that made her life miserable.
At Tours she was forced to leave

she insisted he was in no condition

PLANS FACTORY FOR NEVADA

The Pacific Steelite company is plan
ming to establish a factory in Nevada,
and local mining men are taking much
interest in the project.
During the past week additional
practical tests of Steel;te powder have
been made in the mines of Goldfeld,
and have been witnessed by the leading
mining men of the camp, who without
exception expressed their approval of
it's peculiar advantages, which have
heretofore been endorsed by English,
French, German and Belgium author
tiles. Among those who have witnessed
recent tests were State Mine Inspector
E. f. Stuart, and Deputy Inspector
Ryan, who were greatly pleased with
the result of the demonstration.

LEGAL CONTEST Is ON FOR
RICH NEVADA HILLS MINE
tConunued from page ID

day morning, the defendants imme-
diately beginning the submission OF
evidence.
In answer to a question from Judge
Stevens yesterday, George A. Bethune,
one of the witnesses for the plaintiffs
answered that Weber had no interest
whatever in the location of the group
of claims in the Fairview mining dis
trict, which constitutes the Nevada
Hills.
This is one of the points upon which
the entire suit hangs, as the plaintiffs
are suing the defendants for an inter
est in the Nevada Hills company, claim
ing that they had sent Weber into that
district for the purpose of oPtioning
the desirable properties. Weber return
ed and told Kaeding and Lind that he
had found nothing, but had located a
group of claims which he did not think
would be of any use. Later he returned
to Fairview for James X. Davis and
optioned the claims which now consti-
tute the Nevada Hills.
The testimony Of the defense is a de-
NAL of the allegations of Lind and
Reading, and there are rumors Of some
sensational developments before the
question Of ownership is finally settled.
The case will be submitted for a de-
eision early next week.

VALLEY SCOTTY"
COMES BACK TO DESERT

"Death Valley scotty'' has come
back to the desert, and he is not
broke, either, although eastern papers
have pictured him in the depths OF
poverty times innumerable lately. He
has also been alleged to have deter
mined upon following the prosaic life
of a farmer up in South Dakota. But
it s not for "Scotty' of Death Val
ley.
A few days ago "Scotty'' suddenly
doomed up anent the horizon near
Ida, coming from the direction OF the
Valley of Death, comfortably perched
on the hurricane deck of a wildeyed
mule. He rode up to the camp of the
New Centennial company, which was
presided over by George Bever, one OF
the heavy stockholders of the Centen-
NAL, where he spent the night. Bevers
declares that '.Scotty'' displayed a
roll of bank notes big enough for d
pillow, and was greatly amused at the
stories of his alleged poverty.
The mysterious N declined to dis
close his future plans, except that he
would soon return to his more mys
~terious mine and again take out some
of the great wealth he is supposed to
have hidden to ward off the proverbial
"rainy day.

PIONEER LEASE
SHIPS HIGH GRADE

The Pioneer lease has again broken
into the limelight, this time on account
of a winze which has been dropped
about 30 feet below the 210-foot level,
and in which ore which runs about $500
has been opened up, on the footwall
side, and with the values increasing as
the winze is worked downward and
toward the banging wall. A noticeable
feature of the formation here is that
the ore is coming to be impregnated
with sulphides and is less oxidized, evil
deneing that a zone Of secondary en-
richment is being entered, and which
may prove to carry astonishing values.
A carload of Pioneer lease ore, which
averages about 5000, and which is val
ued at $4,000, has been received by
the Western Ore Purchasing company
in this city, and more is coming.
Richard Il Sacking Ore.
Tex Richard, who is leasing just to
the south and west of the Pioneer lease,
is sacking ore, and reliable adviees
from Pioneer are to the effect that he
has four feet of ore in sight from which
he is sacking, which averages 800 per
ton. His values are increasing. This
strike of Richard 8 is at the mine level
practically coincident with the level of
the first rich strike in the Pioneer
lease, in the winze from the 110-foot
level, and is probably a part of the
same ore shoot, or one of its feeders.
Over ON the north side. of Pioneer
mountain, and in direct line with the
surface cappings and the underground
trend and stratiication as shown by a
transit, the jolly Jane lease, at a depth
of 100 feet, is entering into an ore
body identical with what the Pioneer
lease has opened. The jolly Jane shaft
is started at a lower surface level than
is the shaft of the Pioneer lease, AMI
the ore body which it seems that the
shaft is opening up is about on a level
with the top of the ore shoot as exposed
in the Pioneer lease.

TWO IMPORTANT STRIKES
MADE AT GOLD MOUNTAIN

feet is in ore, all of which is apparent,
" of the same grade.
Mr.. Drum and Harry Keane and Miss
Mollie O'Malley Of Goldfeld, have a
fine group of claims adjoining the Ran.
dolph, and have opened some splendid
showings Of ore, ranging from milling
to high grade. They are carrying on
development work in u small way, and
fell certain of making a splendid pro-
Queer.
Mr.. Drum is also one of the owners
of the old Oriental mine, now called the
New Monarch. The property is now
in litigation, and it will be remembered
that during the past month its title
has been holly contested for in the dis
trict court at Goldfeld. Associated
with Mr.. Drum in the New Monarch
are Gen. James Donovan and Charles
Morrissey of Goldfeld. Drum relocated
the property several years ago, and then
when times began to pick up a little,
Tracey and Jackson, who are now con-
testing his title, came in and claimed
under a prior location. The
case is still under advisement by the
court, but a decision is expected within
the heal future.
There are many other very promising
properties in hat neighborhood, which
is traversed by an immense true assure
vein that can be plainly traced on the
surface for several miles, and this is
interseeted by numerous cross veins
which show strong naturalization. The
main dyke is at least thirty feet wide,
and carries large bodies of ore ranging
milling to high grade values. The
Mac and CHA Monster have been
quite extensively developed, and show
bodies of ore.
Considerable additional mining activ-
ity is anticipated in the district as n
result of the good disclosures that have
been made.
