NEW YORK DINNER BREAKSLUXURY
 RECORD

NEW YORK, March 3. - While there have been many private din ners in New York that cost tre- mendOus sums, what is said to have been the most costly public dinner of its size ever held here took place a few evenings ago at the Hotel As tor when members of the second panel of the sheriff's jury of the County of New York, with guests enough to make up a total of over five hundred, sat down to a dinner costing $45 per plate, or a grand total for the repast of nearly s25,- 900. Not all of this represented the food served at the banquet, of course. The affair took place in the grand ball room of the hotel, which is said to be the largest and finest hotel room in the world. Five thous- and dollars was expended on the elaborate floral decorations and otner thousands on the costly souvenirs, and altogether the dinner was de- signed to be the last word in lux urious completeness. The cost was no bar to the enjoyment of the par tieipants, since most of the members of the sheriff's jury are millionaires. The institution is a popular one with men of wealth and large affairs, for the reason that citizens drawn on the sheriff's jury are excused from other jury duty and this special jury holds it's infrequent meetings at hours convenient to it's members, usually at o'clock in the after noon. Therefore it has come to be more famous as social than as a judicial body and each panel tries to outdo it's predecessors in the elab- orateness of the annual dinner, which has come to be feature of the body.

No immediate relatives survive in this Territory.

MoSsBACK MINE
 PURCHASED BY SYNDICATE
(Mohave County Miner.)

The big MOssbaek group of mines, to the northwest of Gold Road, have this week been Optioned. to T. s. O'Brien, the we'll known engineer and mining man, now with the Frisco Mines and Power company. TAe price agreed on is said to be s1O0, 900. Charles BurlOek, president of the Gold Road Mining company, made the deal, Mr. Burloek being the principal owner of the mines.
 It is understood that MT. O'BrieD takes the mines over for the inter est of big Eastern corporation and the proposition is now on the way East for the consideration of the financial packers of the project.
 The Mossbaek is one of the largest veins in the Silver Creek section, having an immense vein outerop, carrying values in gold. The main shaft has been sunk to a depth of approximately $50 feet and a cross cut dL thc bOblOm suOWS DGllCI than eighteen feet of good ore. On the. surface a erOsseut shows a width of more than twenty feet of miner alized vein and an average value of about SIP to the ton in gold. Many cuts have been run on the vein and, in the shaft drifts have been run off and erosseuts from wall to walp of the vein, all showing good ore. The general average of the ore will be found as nigh as the other big veins of that section that are now turning out a big monthly bar of bull lion and paying dividends to share holders. All the property needs is equipment and big milling plant to make it one of the biggest of all the gold mines of the district.
 Mir Burlock has gone to the mine to sack a two ton sample of the ore for shipment to the plant of the Frisco Mines and Power company for experimental treatment.
 The new corporation will unwater the mine as soon as a plant can be placed on it and will develop it as rapidly as possible. Drifts will have to be run off at the lower level and the ore body at that point opened.

VERDE RIVER BRIDGE
 FINISHED
(From Saturdays Daily

George HOekensmith, constructing engineer of the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron company, in charge of the building of the Territorial bridge across the Verde River, at Camp Verde, reached the city yester- day, completing the great undertak- ing, after three months of work. It will be turned over to the Board of Control in a few days, after the con- crete work is finished. In speaking of this public utility, MT. Hoeken- smith states that it is one of the finest structures he has ever been identified with, and for the cost can not be equalled. Delay has followed its work from the fact that the river raised abnormally three times during the month of February, doing con- siderable damage and requiring a suspension of building. The ap- breaches to the bridge from either side of the river will be filled later and in this work the Territory bears the expense. The structure is three hundred feet in length, with cement flooring, and steel supports. No wood has been used, and it should endure for years. It i. twenty-four feet in breadth, and can accommodate any possible weight. MT. Hockensmith states that the introduction of this service is a most welcome one among the farming communities of that sec tion, and as the work progressed the place was visited by many people, all of whom evinced a keen interest in its building. He will leave today for San Antonio, Texas, to engage in similar work for his company.
