MEXICAN KILLED AT
 CONGRESS- JUNCTION
Jealousy is Alleged to Have Prompted What Appears to be Cold
 Blooded Murder
From Wednesdays Daily)

! About 12 o'clock, however, the news reached the Junction that Perez had been arrested by his uncle, mak- ing a complete confession of the crime, the latter taking the gun away and placing him in the custody of an officer. The body of Chaeou was found later at the point des- ignated by Perez. An examinations showed that he was shot in the back of the head and instantly killed. The supposition is that while the two men were walking up the track, with Perez resting his left hand on Chacon's shoulder, he reached for his gun with the right hand and in an instant had performed his dastard- ly deed.
 The body of Chaeon was brought back to the camp, and later taken to Congress for burial.
 The belief is that Perez was in toxieated at the time, and his das- tardly deed was prompted through insanely jealous motives, and in which the woman figured as the cause.
 Chaeon was said to be an indus trious man, and to have provided for his wife with due consideration
 Perez is being held in custody by Deputy Sheriff Tovrea of Congress, and he will have his preliminary ex- animation tomorrow, Assistant Dis triet Attorney O'Sullivan leaving this morning to represent the Terri tory.

What appears to have beena pre- meditated murder was committed near Congress Junction, late Sunday evening, the killer being a Mexican named Eduardo Perez, and his vic tim, Felieiano Chacon. Particulars of the tragedy as given by several who arrived in Prescott yesterday, follow:
 Chaeon was employed by the S. F., P. & P. in bridge work, and was in camp at the Junction. He had sat down to supper, and a few min utes afterward Perez came to the tent from Congress. Stepping up to the entrance and seeing Chacon he pleasantly and in an unconeerned manner, asked him to step outside, at the same time exposing a bottle of whisky. Both men then left the place, going up the railroad track, and conversing in an agreeable tone. They were seen leaving the camp laughing, and in a little while were lost to sight, Chacon walking in the center of the railroad track, while Perez was walking on the rail, steadying himself by resting his hand on the shoulder of Chaeon. A few minutes after both men passed out of sight around a curve, the report of a shot was heard. No attention was paid to the absence of Cnaeon, his companions believing that he had gone to Congress for the night to see his wife, who was residing there with relatives.

RICH STRIKE IS RE
 PORTED IN BLACK BUCK

J. M. Cook, president of the Co., lumbus Copper company, located in the Black Hills, near the Arizona Central Copper eompany's camp, brought to the city yesterday a 300 pound sample of ore taken from re- cent development on the Black Buck claim, that is attracting consider able interest among mining men who have inspected it. The exhibit is to be seen at the store of R. H. Burm- ister Sons company, and carries heavy values in gold, silver, copper and lead, the silver and lead pre- dominating. The strike was made in shafe sixty feet deep, while the company was performing it's annual assessment work, and through the results accomplished, it is the pur- pose of the company to continue op- erations at that point, Mir. Cook stating that he will outline a plan at once for the beginning of devel- Opment on an extensive scale. As says taken from the shaft previous to the striking of this new ore con ditiOn ranged from s5.SO to s64 per ton, in a vein that measured six feet through. The new ore body is over two feet thick, while the vein carries mineral values at least six feet across.
 In speaking of general mining con ditiOns prevailing in that immediate vicinity, MT. Cook states that more active development is noticeable than in many years past, the good showing on the Shyloek, with the Little Daisy established as one of the big mines, conveying the belief that the Black Hills field to the south carries identical geological conditions to those prevailing In the neighborhood of the Jerome bonanza.
 Many investors are also visiting that section, and all are very deep ly impressed and predict many big mines with development.
 MT. Cook will return to his camp in the next few days. He is acre on business pertaining to his inter ests.

there would have been an element tried to use the recall on himself when he was prosecuting men for breaking the laws. The best thing to do is to put the best people on guard and then you will have good officials.
 A vote to adopt the minority re- port was lost by a vote of 42 to 29. The eat now had the canary in her teeth.
 Nomination of Candidates.
 After the majority report on plat form had been adopted, nominations for candidates were in order, and then followed a carnival of eulogy as different names were presented. For instance, in presenting the name of Homer Wood, P. W. O'Sullivan lauded him as a man with the "hon- esty of Aristides, the justice of Brutus and the talents of a Caesar" After the avalanche of adulation had spent its force, the following eleven emerged as the candidates, six of whom were to be elected: Geo. w. Hull of Jerome, c. O. Case of Jer- ome, NJ. G. Cunniff of Crown King, A. A. Moore of Walnut Grove, Al bert Jones of Seligman, William c. Stephens of Camp Verde, M. Gold water. H. T. Andrews, Homer R. Wood. J. F. Wilson, NJ. G. Burns, Prescott.
 Henry F. Ashurst left the chair to nominate Judge Hawkins, but be- fore he had concluded his remarks, the Judge arose and announced that he would not permit his name to go before the Convention, and made the point of order that the nominations had been closed.
 A recess was taken for thirty minutes in order for the delegates to indulge in meditation regarding their votes, and after reassembling, c. O. Case withdrew from the race.
 The Nominees.
 Only one ballot was taken, the vote being as follows:
 Cunniff 62, Jones 59, Wood 56, Goldwater 45, Hull 45, Andrews 35, Wilson 9S, Stephens 30, Burns 30.
 Col. Wilson then arose and moved that those receiving the six highest votes be declared elected, and be the unanimous choice of the Convention. The motion was carried.
 The Central Committee.
 The chair, upon motion, appointed committee of seven, consisting of John Lawler, Perry Hall, W. c. Ste phens, J. P. Dillon, J. J. Hawkins, E. I. Long and P. W. O'Sullivan to name a new Central Committee, and tEey brought in the following list:
 John Lawler, E. I. Long, J. P. Dillon, Perry Hall, J. J. Hawkins, w.. s. Adams, H. F. Ashurst, c. O. Case, J. H. Robinson, B. Cunniff, Geo. C.. Ruffner, John Foley, Joe Rudy, H.. D. Ross and William Stephens.
 After this report was adopted, a vote of thanks was rendered to the chairman and the secretaries, and the
