Hopes Complaints Will Stop

Secretary Fisher last night while I
think the charges are very much exag-
gerated, / have no doubt in my mind
that some recommendations will be made
by the committee that will tend to stop
these complaints about the management
of the asylum.
II have not the slightest idea of how
long the investigation will take, but I
expect it will last throughout the week,
after which time all the facts in the
case will be made public without fear
or favor"
Attorney Evans, who made the charges
of mismanagement against DIR. White,
probably will present to Secretary Fisher
this morning all the facts which he
claims an investigation will prove. Mr..
Evans is making a special effort to have

 With their own hands, Groedel and Luques have put shaft down sixty four feet. Their ledge at that depth is over four feet wide and the rock runs S5.540 in gold, with no other metal of any kind.
 Samples taken from the surface, where the shaft was started ran $4S.3O. The rock continued to grow richer with depth. and it is not improbable that it carries. even more gold at q greater depth.
 The formation is most peculiar On the surface the ledge is 126. feet wide and lies in layers Of different fOrma- ton. With depth these layers come to- gether and in the bottom of the shaft the ledge is between solid walls of porphyry. At that depth it is only white quartz and gold with no other element. not even iron. On the surface are iron oxides and sulphides. but these gradually disappear as the shaft goes down.
 Groedel and Luques sank vertical shaft to a depth of twenty-siX feet and from there proceeded on an incline They mined under hanging wall and all they will have to do is to strip their ore when they are ready to take it out. They have thousands of dollars worth of gold ore in sight. to say nothing of over s40O worth of tellurium ere they took from one side of the shaft. The tellurium ore is now on the dump.

 Huepec has been the seat of con- siderable activity during the last month, Juan Cabral having visited it with his troops early in March and bivouacing just outside the borders of the town for three days. His bat tie with the federals in which there was a heavy loss of life among the regulars was fought just north of Huepec. and the reports of the battle filled the town with increased dis order and excitement. The battle fought between the federals and the insurrectionists last week in which 400 soldiers under Cabral engaged with 45O of the federals under the command of Ojedi too place at San Rafael twenty miles south of Huepec and many citizens of the town were witnesses of the bloody battle.
 During the stay of Cabral in the city of Huepec Lintner states that excellent order was preserved among the troops, who seemed to have great respect for the authority of Cabral. The commander prohibited the sell ing of liquor to any soldier under the penalty of a fine of one hundred pesos, and this order was broken only once after which the goods of the dealers were destroyed The sol diers were well supplied with amnu- milton. and supplies of all kinds. and they seemed to have strong belief in the ultimate success of their cause
 This courage and hope of the sol- diers of the insurrectionists, says MT. Lintner. is in significant contrast to the spirit of the soldiers of the regu- lar army, many of whom were forced to enlist. and their stomach for battle is in consequence. very weak and un- warlike. They manifest no interest in the cause of the government against the revolutionists. and in a number of instances have deserted the standards of their commanders to enter the ranks of the insurTectionists. by whom they are well treated. The army of Cabral has a number of men in the ranks who came over from the federal army, and these men are regarded with confidence by the rebels. who realize that their tempo rary service in the army was due to the force which had been brought to hear upon them and not to their per sonal convictions, or to any desire to defeat the cause of the insurrectos.
 Money is being taken freely by the troops of Cabral and BlancO, who make free with everything they need for their maintenance or comfort. in variably giving sixty day note for anything taken. The country is flooded with these notes. and there is small likelihood of their being re- deemed.
 The spirit in which the people of his district are inclined to accept the change inaugurated by President Diaz has not been learned by Mir. Lintner, who found it necessary to shut his mine down and leave the country Ow- ing to the disorder prevailing in Huepec.

The arrest of an American, carry ing messages from General Blanco to Juan Cabral, caused the overthrow of the mayor of the city of Huepec, Mexico. and as result that official has left his authority behind him and has crossed the border to find pro- lection under the American flag Word has been brought from Mexico by F. Lintner, a mine owner of Hue pee. touching on the arrest a little over a week ago. of William Norman, an American insurrectionist, who was employed by Blanco to convey a seal ed communication to Juan Cabral, Norman was thrown into prison by Francisco Lopez, the mayor of Hue pee. who is inclined to favor the fed eral government. and an uprising among the people of the town was immediately precipitated. Before reaching the prison to undergo the search of the officers Norman chewed up and swallowed the letter which had been intrusted to him by his commander, and by the time he was searched nothing remained but the letter head. Nothing was learned from this scrap as to the matter of the message.
 The majority of the citizens favor ing the insurreetionists, and desir- ing to assist instead of hinder the operations of the troops of Cabral and Blanco an immediate demand was made for the release of the messen- ger, but the mayor refused to com ply with the demand, sending Nor man on to Arizpe. where he is still in custody on Saturday, the 25th the town became too hot for Lopez and he left in the night time for the northern border. on the afternoon which brought his overthrow a mol of people massed the streets crying for his death The frightened mayor fled to the house of Lintner who re- ceived and concealed him there unti late in the night when he was en- abled to escape in the darkness.

 RICH GOLD STRIKE PROPERTY EXPECTED TO RIVAL GOLDFIELD CONSOLIDATED. Ore Taken From 64-Foot Shaft Runs s5,54O in the Yellow Metal.

Firmly convinced that they have gold mine which will outrival the Gold field Consolidated. M. Groedel and A. l.. Luques are now in Phoenix making arrangements to lease or bond their property, which is located seventy-six miles southwest of Tucson in the oceanic district. Their own opinion of their prospect is borne out by Philip Wiseman of the Guggenheim interests. and other mining experts.
 A few days ago Groedel and Luques took some of their ore into Tucson. It created a sensation and locators are rushing to the oceanic district to file on ground surrounding their te1 claims.
 Groedel located four claims while out prospecting about a year and a half ago. During the last winter he took Luques as a partner and they came to Phoenix to develop the prospect. What they have found has far exceeded their
