CHINAMAN IS BOUND
 OVER FOR GRAND JURY
Second Chapter of HeinOus Crime Recited In Justice hOder'S
 Court on Monday

Jim Wing, Chinaman known as
 "Sharkey," was given his prelimin ary hearing before Justice Moder on Monday on a charge of Tape and was
 bound over to await the action of the grand jury of Greenlee county in the sum of $4OOO. Up to the time of go ing to press Sharkey is still in jail
 The testimony brought out at the preliminary hearing of the Chinaman was similar in many respects as that adduced at the preliminary hearing last week. The girl in the case, Myr- tie Hicks, took the stand again and described her visits to the restaurant conducted by the !Chinaman. She tes- tified that the means of ingress and egress to the Chinaman's room from the restaurant was through a trap door overhead. She admitted that she had received presents from the Chinaman consisting of money and handkerchiefs and that she spent the money for dresses. Dan Lynch was a WANACo6 III OLAo CetoC N1oO anu IOoOlAACO to having seen the girl in the room of the Chinaman. Mrs. Lucinda Hicks, the mother of the girl was placed on the stand to prove the age of the girl which, according to her family record, she testified she was thirteen on the 27th of last November. For the de- fense the testimony of w. A. Hamil- ton was admitted to the effect that the mother of the girl remarked in his presence that "she could not un- derstand her daughter, that she would tell her several different sto~- ies about the same thing and she did not know what was the matter with her"
 The Chinaman took the stand to make a statement in his own behalf He admitted knowing the girl; that she had taken her meals in his restau- rant; that he had made her presents of some handkerchiefs, but vigorously denied that he had any improper re- lations with the girl.

SHELDON STORE THIS ROBBED WEEK Robbers Secure $55, a Shot Gun and Numerous Other
 Articles

Some time during Wednesday night thieves broke into the store of c. c. Edwards at Sheldon station and rob- bed the place of s55 cash and a double barreled L. c Smith shot gun, be- sides taking several other articles. Sheldon is the shipping point for the Ash Peaks mines, where that con- pany has wagon platform and ore chutes. It is also the point from which supplies are hauled to the Clear Lake mines.
 MT. Edwards has number of men at work on the road leading to Clear Lake, which he supplies from his store, besides doing quite a business with the ranchers of that thriving section.
 It is hoped the villianous looters that have been infesting Greenlee county for the past six months will be caught up with and punished as they deserve This makes the fourth bold robbery that has occurred in this county in the past four months, and apparently they have been done by the same parties.

To Operate Placer Fields.

The D. A. LennOx placer gold pro- position on the Frisco, about miles below Clifton, where he has been at work for the past two years, with sufficient success to make expenses and add a great deal of new machin. cry, has been taken hold of by Mo renci parties and a stock company formed the principals of which are c. B. Nonnmaker, Dr. G. E. Goodrich and J. M. Ericson. Work on large scale will at once be started with the latest gold saving devices, and as it is a well known fact that the precious metal abounds in paying quantities nearly all over Greenlee county, the success of this venture will be the means of other fields being prospected and worked. Clifton was first settled as a gold camp, but the immense bodies of copper are discovered aroused so much interest and ex- teusive operation that the gold diggins were lost sight of.

COURT HOUSE FIXED
 ON HILLS FLAT
Petition In Favor of East Side Had No Influence With
 The Board

On Monday afternoon last, on mo- ton of Member B. F. Billingsley of Duncan, seconded by Chairman Cos per, and carried unanimously, the new court house to be erected by the County of Greenlee was finally locat- ed in Hills Addition to the town of of Clifton, and the Probate Judge will appoint appraisers to fix the value to be paid by the County of Greenlee for | the site.
 The location decided upon by the board consists of five lots owned by Henry Hill in front of the residence of John D. Parks and facing the rail- road track It is the intention of the board to build the court house, jail and county hospital on the same tract of land. The value of the lots is un- i derstood to be $500 each.
 When the matter was up for decis- ion in January the board postponed decision upon the location of the court house for two weeks in order to give those advocates of other sites an op- portunity to present petitions. When the board met on Monday John R. Hampton appeared before the board and presented a petition containing more than three hundred names pray ing the board to locate the court house on the East Side location, upon lot which would be donated by the Ari- zona Copper company for this pur- pose. This offer also carried with it the free use of the A. c. company stone quarry for securing stone for building purposes free of charge Dan Lynch, representing the Chase Creek property owners, submitted to the board proposition to leave the location of the site for the court house to the voters of Clifton precinct.
 Monday afternoon was spent in lis- tening to those who desired to be heard on the proposition. MT. Mur- phy advocated the location of the court house on Hills Addition.
 Just before the board adjourned for the afternoon the motion was made locating the court house on Hills Ad- dition. The board took the position that the East Side was not a suitable location for the court house; that suf- ficient ground for court house and iail purposes could not be secured and the element of danger from floods entered into the consideration of the location.
 There was some dissatisfaction ex- pressed over the decision of the board to locate the court house on Hills Ad dition and the statement was made by some that the taxpayers will re- fuse to vote for the court house bonds on the present location.

ARIZONA MINING NEWS
tcLrPPED FROM ExcHANGEs)

oA0 OE ObE Al SOMMlI
 The confirmed report of a rich strike at the slmmit mine this week was the cause of the stock of that company going up several points with none offered for sale. The news was also received with pleasure by the business men of Miami, for it adds another proven mine to this great district for which. Miami is the distributing and shipping point.
 Under the efficient supervision of Superintendent Meyers the develop ment work is progressing,rapid and the striking of the rich vein is the result of plan of work previously outlined by him. The company now employs about 70 men. A carload of ore from the new strike has been sent to the shelter at Fl Paso for treatment.
 The strike was made on the Pasquale vein, which will run 30 per cent copper. The strike was made on the 400 foot level and the vein when encountered measured 30 inches. At the 200 foot level this vein is about 6 inches, at the 3O0-foot level about IS inches. The strike at the 400 foot level couclusively shows width with depth The shaft is down TOO feet and the next drift will be made at the 600 foot leyel. The quantity and richness of the known ore now in this mine places at it the head of the high grade propositions.
 Interest in oil around Tucson con tinues and ithas become almost daily occurrence for new fields of great promise to be discovered. In fact, there are sometimes two fields found on the same day, as occurred Sunday.
 Thomas Sullivan, William Scott, Claud ScrivDer and s. T. Simpson have made a location in Pantano wash which they expect to prove a great producer. They brought in some oil Sunday.
 The product for the month of Jan uary at both the Copper Queen and Calumet & Arizona smelters shows that there has been no attempt to in- crease the amount of copper made here. At the Queen the number ot furnaces and Converters employed varies from time 10 time, but that come from the varying character of ore. At the C.. x. A. the number of furnaces in commission during Jan uary war three and the output was a little more than 4,0OO, 900 pounds.

 Figures
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE


 WASHINGTON, FEB. 6-The bill by Delegate Cameron providing for the levy of taxes in Arizona, has been reported, and MT. Cameron will likely pass it through the lower branch of Congress before this. letter reaches its readers. The Committee made some amendments to the original bill but they are not of such nature as to affect its purpose. Under the en- abling act, there being no session of the Territorial legislature for pre- sent year Congress was called upon to provide the levy of taxes. The Territorial board of control is em- powered to levy such taxes as shall be directed by the Territorial board of equalization for the maintenance of the Territorial government for the year ending June IS, 1912. The esti- mate by the board of control is declared to be ample authority for the expenditure of any of the sums included therein. In case of any estimates being found in excess of the amount needed, the surplus shall divert to the Territorial general fund, and may be used for other purposes.
 The provisions of the act of the legislative assembly relating to the construction. maintenance, and inn provement of Territorial roads and creating the office of Territorial engineer, is continued by the bill for the coming year; but the committee struck out "section 4" relating to the appropriation of $1O,OOO for the Territorial fair, on the grounds that it was a matter the board of control might well pass upon under the general provisions of the bill. For the same reason the appropriation of ''not to exceed five hundred dol lars" for the conference of governors was eliminated, as the committee is adverse to legislating any more than is necessary for the Territory, pre- ferring to leave everything possible in the hands of local authorities.
 Notwithstanding this attitude ex- pressed on the part of the Committee MT. Cameron secured a continuation of the prohibition against hunting or killing antelope. He pointed out that the legislative enactment pro- tecting these animals would expire by limitation, and that immediately the reafter organized hunting parties from California. the east, and all parts of the country, would invade the Territory, and wipe out the game
