LITTLE DAISY IS
 SHOWING BIG ORE
Mining Man, Who Paid Visit to The Property, is Enthusiastic Over
 This Bonanza.
(From Saturdays Daily)

Worthy of more than ordinary con sideration is the statement that was made yesterday by John s. Reilly, the mining man, who has returned from an examination of the Little Daisy at Jerome. From this author ity, recognized highly in mining cir eles as a man of practical ability and conservative regard, the belief was openly expressed by him that "the similarity between the ore of the Little Daisy and the United Verde is so close that I see no pos sible reason why the Little Daisy should not make a good second for the big mine that adjoins it."
 Continuing, MT. Reilly imparted the agreeable information that he went to the lower levels and inspested the zone where the big strike was orig inally made in the 800 foot level. At that point drifting was going on in a body of ore that was seventy feet long, with ore on every side, and in addition to that flattering condition the breast of the drift was also in a solid ore body. The ex- tent of this ore body is as yet un- determined, and is of unknown width.
 From this terse and yet favorable view of MT. Reilly, some idea of the magnitude of this property may be learned, and to support which there is not the least doubt of the creation of a mining property con- mensurate with that view taken by the above miner.
 On the HOO foot level the drift from the bottom of the winze was also inspected. The ground at this point carries favorable indications for cutting into the ore body, Tn fact. they are expecting to make the strike at any time. This winze is 300 feet below the big ore body ex, posed on the oOU IOOI lcNci. hilh this determination accomplished, the gigantic extent of the proposition will be further intensified and will be without counterpart in mining in this county. Closing the inter view, MT. Reilly stated: Beyond a doubt the Daisy has in evidence al the present time the biggest ore body I have ever inspected in Yava. pal county, with the possible exeep, tion of what is known in the United Verde"
 The dump at the present time con tains over 500 tons of ore taken out from recent development. In order to accommodate production the sur face has been cleared off and 8 | truss laid across Bitter Creek fol the making of a new dump. Ovel 150 tons of ore is now at that point which will give some idea of thu heavy yield that has followed tho memorable strike made a few month:

LIVELY DEBATE AT
 ST. JosEPH's ACADEMY
CFrom Fridays Dairy)

(Erom Fridays OaliY)
 The Shakespeare Club, composed of members of the first and second year grades of the High school course at St. Joseph's Academy, gave a literary entertainment yes terday afternoon at its auditorium of the Academy, which for knowl- edge of the drama and elOeutionary training has seldom been equalled by pupils in an institution of learning.
 Great interest had been aroused in the debate, which was the prominent and central feature of the occasion.
 A large and appreciative audience filled the room and from the momen, vixen James H. Buckley opened the discussion until Robert F.. Geimer closed the argument, the attention of their friends was riveted on the speakers, and their sentences were frequently punetuated by prolonged applause.
 The subject presented was one which has been often discussed: "Whieh is more instructive, as found in the drama. tragedy or com edye"
 The rival debaters were James H. Buckley, Mabel Bacon and Grace An gevine, who supported tragedy, and Robert E. Geimer, Norma Stuart and Mary Hassett, who advocated the comedy side of the subject.
 Father Mandin, Dr. Finn and MT. Morrison were selected as the judges, and they had two questions to de termine, one, which of the debaters should be declared the winner of the eloeutionary medal furnished by the club, the other, the debate.
 The judges discovered that their task was a difficult one, owing to | the fine work of the disputants. The works of the great dramatists had been closely studied-the master pieces of Shakespeare, Goldsmith Moliere, Goethe, Schiller and a host of others, were appealed to and com pared.
 From the opening to the close, a: each student spoke, it became harder to decide. The boys speeches were strong, convincing and manly. The young ladies carried conviction mol only by their arguments, but chiefly by their sweet, winning manner anC delightfully."- graceful appearance.
 After careful deliberation, tht judges awarded the eloeutionary medal to Miss Mabel Bacon, and tn, debate in favor of the advocates oi tragedy. The report was received with a storm of applause, indicating the popularity of the decision.
 It was evident that the excellent library of the Academy had beer used to advantage and with prof by the participants in the debate.
 The vocal and instrumental mum bers as given by the young ladies showed study and skill. On tn' whole, the Sisters of St. Joseph ar, to be congratulated on the superior ity of the instruction jmparted t the students. which has develope, literary and musical ability of a higl character.

MINING SUIT IS
 DECIDEDLY UNIQUE
(From Fridays Daily.)


 A mining suit of more than ord mary importance has been on trial for several days before Judge Kent at Tucson. It is the ease of Albert Steinfeld against the Omega Copper company, and the decision will set tie an important point of mining law. It is believed that there is no pre- cedent in law for the case.
 MT. Steinfeld contends that when mining claims are sold, the ore oh the dump does not pass with a deed to the realty, unless it is specifically mentioned in the deed. His attorneys contend that ore on the dump is per sOnal property.
 In the case on trial, the plaintiff is suing for ore on the dump of the old Omega mine, in the Helvetia dis trict. which he claims was wrong fully converted by the defendant. The mine formerly belonged to the partnership of l.. Zeekendorf & Co.,, composed of MT. Steinfeld and Louis Zeekendorf. When that partnership was thrown into the courts and re- ceivers appointed, MT. Zeekendorf bought, among other things, the Omega group of mining claims, the ore on the dump not being specific ally mentioned in the deed. MT. Steinfeld took a bill of sale to all of the personal property of what ever character belonging to the part nership, but the ore on the dump of the Omega mine was not specifically mentioned in this bill of sale. MT. Steinfeld contends, however, that the right of title to the ore passed to him by this bill of sale.
 MT Zeekendorf sold the Omega mine to the Omega Mining company corporation which he formed to work the property, and the company | disposed of the ore on the dump; hence MT. Steinfeld is seeking to re, cover from the company the value of the ore which he claims was thus wrongfully converted.
 The case was tried before Judge Campbell and jury at previous term of court, and the jury found a verdict for Steinfeld in the sum of about seven thousand dollars, but Judge Campbell set this verdict aside on the ground that he erred in in, strueting the jury.
 Feeling disqualified to try the ease again, Judge Campbell requested Chief Justice Kent to conduct the second trial, which was called in the District Court Monday.
 MT. Steinfeld was the first wit ness for the plaintiff. He produced deeds to show title to the property in l.. Zeckendorf & Co.,, and a bill of sale from the receivers to tho personal property of the partnership to show. as he alleges, that the ort on the dump of the Omega min' passed to him by such bill of sale The afternoon being hot, Judge Ken took a recess until S:30 o'clock thii morning, before MT. Stenfeld haC concluded his testimony.
 MT. Steinfeld was recalled whel the ease came on for trial this morn ing. Fred s. Hughes, former sup erintendent of the mine, was als' examined, and a deposition of J. \ Curtis was introduced.
 The plaintiff then rested an' counsel for the defendant moved tn court to direct a verdict for the de fendant just before the noon recess Tucson Citizen.

MONTANA T G
Jobbers Cut Out Of Wyoming Field by
Omaha and Cheyenne.

Billings. To determine whether
freight rates charged Billings jobbers
on shipments to Wyoming points are
unreasonably high, a hearing was be-
gun today before Special Examiner
George N. Brown of Washington, D.
c., representing the interstate com.
merce commission.
0. W.. Long, rate clerk of the Mon.
tana railroad commission offered COM
parative figures in order. to prove that
a much higher rate per ton per mile is
charged Billings jobbers than on ship
ments from Omaha and Cheyenne.
Wholesalers testified that the business
of the Big Horn valley had dwindled
to almost nothing on account of at
tractive rates made to get the long
haul for the Burlington system, and
that the out-rate on less than carload
lots from Billings was entirely pro-
hibitive.
Three jobbers testified hal in the
early days when goods had to be
freighted to the Big Horn basin from
Bridger, on a branch line of the North
ern Pacific, a rate l cent less than is
now in vogue prevailed.
