 MAN

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 2S.-Myster- ies of an unusual character remain to be solved in the case of Clarence w. Glover, a Waltham laundryman for whose death Hattie Le Blanc, a seventeen-year-old girl, will be placed on trial Monday in the Middlesex County court in East Cambridge.
 The killing of Glover occurred in his laundry in Waltham on Nov. 20 1909. In the evening on that date he was shot in his laundry under cir eumstances shrouded in mystery. The wounded man succeeded in crawling to the house of a physician a short distance away and died soon after he had succeeded in summoning the persons in the house by ringing the bell. Just before he expired he i. alleged to have declared that he had been shot by Hattie Le Blanc, whC is said to have been seen with him some hours previously near the laun dry.
 So far as can be learned the police have been totally unable to fix any adequate motive for the killing SC far as the Le Blanc girl is concerned despite the statements of the dying man that it was she who fired tho fatal shot. Rumors that some mem

The Madizelle mines, in the Sierra Prietta Mountains, six miles west of Prescott, are to be revived immediate iy, and according to a statement made yesterday in Phoenix by George U. Young, Secretary of Ari zona the plan of development out lined is on a scale never be fore ap- preached in the history of the pro perty.
 While MT. Young will be associated with the property and act in an ad- visory capacity it is the general be lief that the group has been sold to European investors. The new owners propose to spend a vast amount of capital in extensively exploiting the system. To this end considerable grading has been done at the mine recently where new and heavy operating equipment will be erected while several engineers have examin. ed the property and its many open ings, all reports being favorable.
 The groop shows over 4,000 feet of development done under the manage ment of Mir. Young. This work in. cludes two main working shafts, with drifts and other openings. One shaft is 325 feet while the other is 275 feet deep. From these workings the favorable determinations were made that led to the final negotia- tions. The surface conditions are also considered very favorable for the creation of a great producing mine.
 The property was originally known as the Derby mine, and when MT. Young entered that field it was his purpose to mine it for the gold yield Since depth has been reached, the gold bearing rock has been enriched by copper with the gold, and through that determination, geologists who ex- perted it nave been greatly impressed with its possibilities.
 A few years ago MT. Young erected a five stamp mill on the ground equipped with a cOncentrator, and at intervals has made runs to test the

VENEZIA MINE IS GIVING GOOD

J. B.

A clean up of the plant gave satisfactory results, and cOnsid- ering that the capacity of the mill was limited owing to a scarcity of water, he is sanguine over the possi- bilities The entire battery of 20 stamps is now dropping on a half shift, while the mine work is yet in ats initial stage.

product. The tests were made more for solving the mineral characteristics than for profit. Accordingly there is but little ore on the dumps, the stOpes remaining undsiturbed as de- velOped.
 As announced the new operators contemplate a main working shaft of over 1000 feet, while exploration will follow generally on the entire group, Ample finances are available for the large plan of development.
 Mir. Young was the first to enter that field over six years ago. His conception of the surface showing warranted the expenditure of a large sum the wisdom of which is now re- fleeted in the showing.
 In eonjuetion with the deal, it is also reported that the Hassayampa interests of Mir Young are included in the transfer. They are distinctive ly gold properties on which consider able work mas been done.
 This sale is one of far reaching i'm port to this city especially, and as well does it bring into prominence a field which up to the time MT. Young entered it, did not have the regard a location notice carries. It is also one of the best mineral regions in the county in which to operate, possess ing an unlimited supply of mine timbers, and an abundance of water for all purposes.
 MT. Young continues at the head of the great Mammoth mines at Goldfselds, which are assuming a bonanza rating in Pinal county. He will be a visitor to this city in a short time, and during the coming summer eOntemplates making Prescott again his home, when official duties as secretary of Arizona will permit of his absence from the capital
 The operating of the Madizelle mines as announced will give Prescott its largest mining camp in the shortest distance, and is one of the most pleasing transactions that has been recorded in many years.

J. B. Casey, formerly resident of this city, and at the time owner of the Royal Saloon, committed suicide iii Los Angeles recently in a ghast- ly manner, stepping in front of a train at the Fourth street crossing of the Sale Lake railroad. The train was running at twenty miles an hour, and Casey is said to have deliberately walked in front of the engine, stepping from the shadow of the supports on the east side of the overhead track, less than 100 feet in front of the train.

THEIR MAJEsTIEs' CARDS.

LONDON, Eng, Nov. 2S.-Though the custom of giving presents at the ' Merry Yuletide" is said to be dy- ing out, this is not the case with King George and Queen Mary, who are already preparing to remember not only their friends but all those who have rendered good service to them duinrg the year. As many of the relatives and friends of their majesties reside at points far distant from England it is necessary that the presents for them be dispatched sev- eral weeks before Christmas. The King has ordered hundreds of ar ticles to be sent to him by London tradesmen, jewellers and art dealers, and from these he will make his se- lections.
 Queen Mary has personally super vised the getting up of her own Christmas card this year. Her maj esty spent many days in thinking out an appropriate design, and has hun dreds of suggestions and sketches sub mitted to her. Her final design is a picture by John H.

OF FORGER SUGGESTIVE OF

CFrom Tuesdays Daily


 When Thomas A.

The reply appeared so ridic- ulous that most everyone in the court room was impressed that the animation into his mental condition, Judge Doe suspended sentence until tomorrow morning.
 Teal was recently discharged from the army at Fort Whipple. He was indicted for forging a check on a nonresident and having it cashed at the Brisley drug store. He entered a plea of guilty when arraigned, ana the date of his sentence was set for yesterday.

ANOTHER PIONEER CALLED ID HIS
 REWARD
CFrom Tuesdays Dany)

Fate appears to be hastening to the unknown the noble men of the pioneer era, the last to answer the ,caH being T. NJ. Alexander, wnOse sad death was announced yesterday as taking place at his home of Syea- more Creek, in the eastern part of 5he county His afflietiOn was gen eral debility, incidental to old age, having reached the SSth milestone.
 The passing of this splendid eiti- zen removes one of the earliest ar rivals in Arizona. With his wife he accompanied the Joseph Ehle party from the Eastern states, and ar rived in this city early in 1864. He was among the first te bring cattle to this section, and in that day ex- peTienced the usual burden to pre- serve his interests from Indian dep relations. As a citizen, in the long years that followed, he was regard ed in the highest for his upright and honorable dealings with all. As a builder he figured industriously and capably, and leaves a monument to his memory that will be hard to eff face It was the type of men of the nobility of Mir. Alexander that gave the country firm anchorage in any channel, and their loss is to be sadly regretted.
 Mir. Alexander was one of the notable quartette that located the famous Peck mine in the Bradshaws In 1875, which was the entering wedge of the wonderful mineral re- sources apparent today. With his de votion to the country and his belief in its possibilities, fortune did not dim his vision, and he remained steadfast to enjoy the fruits of his years of privation among the hills of the country, that preceded his ae- quiring this bonanza property.
 About ten years ago he was seized with an incurable afflictiOn- of the eyes, that terminated in total blind ness, which made his last days on earth all the more pitiable and sOr- rONful. Of this he complained seri- Ously, desiring to keep himself in harness as an energetic worker, and as he often stated, to help build up the country to which he was so de- votedly attached. His loss is a sad one, under these conditions, and to which there will be mucn sorrow ex- pressed.
 The remains will be brought to this city for interment, and will be laid alongside those of his estimable wife, who preceded him several years ago. His sons, James and John Alex ander, were with him when the end seame.
