 TWO BARS OF BULLION
(Monave County Miner


 Last Monday the stage from Oat- man brought in two bars of bullion weighing 315 pounds, avoirdupois, and valued at over $6O,OOO. This was from a four weeks cleanup of the mill. The big mill is not yet in commission, only ten stamps now being used in the turning out of bullion, which makes the record of this mill a most wonderful one. The ore is stil maintaining its high val ues and only this class of ore will be handled until the big mill is in commission, when a lower grade may be put through in emergency cases. The shaft on the main ore body is being carried down to another level and the property thoroughly exploit ed. Should the new level show the same general character of ore the stock of this company should soar above the $5 mark. So far as de- veloped the. mine SHOWS wonderful values, and the output of bullion veri- fes all the good things that have

(From Thursdays Daily.)

Moving picture circles, yesterday,
 missed good opportunity in not
 snapping a miniature of the siege of Port Arthur, that was rather valiant ly pulled off in a Japanese restaurant
 of this city. The besieging force was dainty white waitress, and the custodian of the citadel brown man. The bombardment was oceas- toned on an alleged debt of s due from the Jap to the American. for labor performed, and after the fusil- lade was over and the damage in ventoried, about $25 worth of broken wares was strewn over the field of action, consisting of every utensil used in hash house, from the kit chen to the dining room. The shrap- nel reached every nook and the Jap performed many jiujitsu eontortions before hostilities ceased and the white flag was rolled up in sur render. The Jap defender states that the woman mad too much "saki'' behind her frenzied disposition, while on the other hand, the female assail- ant says that the valOr of the yellow race, when put to a crucial test, has HO hoIe significance than ten cent piece with a big hole through it. After the equalization the belliger- ents were taken to the municipal bar racks for a review of the action, from an ordinance standpoint. Judge Robinson, who handled the big bore weapon of the city, thought that S5 was sufficient for the woman to pay, while the Jap was relieved of SlO. Both then left the place, after an armistice was declared.

YAVAPA| METALS SHIPS RICH
 ORE
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Over 125O pounds of ore from the new strike made by the Yavapai Metals Mining and Reduction com pany was forwarded yesterday to Allegheny City, Pa., R. B. Stanaland and J. B. MeGarvey, loading that weight on the cars in the city. This consignment goes to their agents, and in a few days George Oatman, their consulting engineer will leave for the same city. This sample rep resents what was taken from the pay streak at the bottom of the 13O-fOOt shaft in the face of a drift forty five feet distant, and was obtained without any asserting whatever. In speaking of the general outlook in their mine Messrs. MeGarvey and Standard state that since the strike was given publicity a few weeks ago, the values have been maintained and the ore body has remained strong and uniform in it's mineral character The average of the pay streak is twenty inches. and from top to bot tom will run to $l25 per ton, carry ing gold, silver and copper, the latter metal predominating. They also state that as uepIn IS fedCneu, there is no pinching of the vein matter that carries the above values, but on the contrary some very high grade ores has been cut into.
 One surprising condition was re- vealed a few days ago, in a tele gram from the east, which conveyed the important news that in bueking sample, small nuggets of free gold were shown imbedded in a large piece of the ore sent for exhibition purposes.
 Since the property has assumed such prominence, the country for a radius of five miles has been located, and in addition it has been visited by over score of mining engineers, all of whom speak favOrably of its prospects. Messrs. McGarvey and Standard returned to their camp i'm mediately after delivering the ship ment to the railroad company for transportation to the east. Their camp is located about seven miles east of Humboldt and until they en- tered the district about two years ago, not a foot f the ground was occupied for a radius of over three miles.

QUICK VERDICT FOR ACCUSED
 MINERS
(From Saturdays Daily.l

The lively town of Mayer was the scene of a remarkable proceeding when seventeen men recently em- ployed by the Brooklyn Arizona Min ing company were brought before a jury in Justice Knapp's court on the charge of assaulting E. W. Thomas by pouring water over him. and various other indignities. It is al- legel that MT. Thomas had been insis- tently creating trouble in the Brook lyn-Arizona camp by reporting to the management that certain men en- plOyed by the company were about to commit all sorts of violence against the property of the company, inelud- ing such trifles as blowing up the plant and otherwise obliterating the concern from the map. This went to such an extent that the parties concerned remonstrated with Mir Thomas, as it is said, requesting that such reports be discontinued, as of course they had absolutely no found ation. It is said that no attention was paid to these protests by NIT. Thomas, and the situation finally be- came so unbearable that a few of the men, unable to restrain their in dignation over the unjust charges, gathered around MT. Thomas near well in camp and threw a bucket or two of water over him. The men claim that this was done wholly with out malice but merely to emphasize their requests that ne cease the base less accusations against them. He was also requested to leave camp.
 At the trial Mir. Thomas, although he had caused seventeen men to be arrested, could only identify five who had taken any part in the affair." ThereupOn all the others were dis charged, and the case went to the jury upon the evidence against these five. It only took a minute or two for the jury to return a verdict of not guilty It is said that the prin- eipal question before the jury was not so much whether the men were guilty of assault as whether MT. Thomas was not indebted to them for a first class bath. Not being able to agree as to just how much the bath was worth under the cir cumstances, the jury compromised by finding the defendants not guilty. Probably the most regrettable incl dent of the whole affair is that about twenty of the most estimable miners in the county were discharged, in- cluding the foreman, Frank Ellis, and his brother.

TENNESSEE MINE
 BEING UNwATERED

After months of shaft sinking
 below the 200 level the drift from the 800 level of the Tennessee mine, last Tuesday evening, broke through into the old works. The last round of holes were fired and the ground
 cxaminted carefully by the foreman, only small seepage through the roof of the drift being observable.
 Going to the surface for a few
 minutes, tEe foreman started to re- turn to the bottom, when it was dis
 covered that the water in the shaft
 had risen to the 200 foot level, at
 which points the pumps had been
 holding it the past several months.
 The pressure of 300 feet of water
 had broken through from the old
 works to the new drift.
 Three pumps are now at work pull
 ing the water from the shaft, sup plemented by a skip capable of
 handling 1s,OOO gallons of water per
 hour. With the big flood of water
 now going to the surface it is ex- pected to accomplish the unwater- ing of the mine within short time As soon as the water is taken from the old workings of the property an effort will be made to catch up the bad ground and see just what the mine looks like above the 800 foot level. Sinking will soon be resumed to the 500 foot level, the lowest working of the property. On this level it is said there is a splendid body of rich lead ore Throughout the upper works of the mine the re- maining ore is heavy in zine and iron.
 The compressor and drill plant of the Hercules Mining company has been installed and force of men are at work on development of the prop | erty. Power for the plant is furn. ished by the Kingman Power plant. | Bratland believes he has one of the big gold properties of that section, and the way the mine is developing out it would look as though he was quite right. The I vein is large and well defined and | carries exceptionally good gold values.
 E. B. Van Deman came in from the Ruth mines last Wednesday and re- ports that everything in and about the property is moving along smooth ly. The new shaft on the property has reached a depth of within fifty nine feet of the level of the old shaft At the old shaft a drift is being run off toward the west to connect with the new shaft. From the breast of this drift the pannings show greater values than at the shaft, where five feet of ore gave an aver age value of $60 gold ta the ton. The drift is all in ore and the body appears to be constantly widening.
 The property is operated by cleo iris power, and compressor is oper- lting two machine drills in the mine. Big headway is being made with me drills, the ground breaking big, md each round of holes cleaning up rom five to eight feet.
 The mill is fast getting in shape md within sixty days it ought to be } n commission. The output of this mill will certainly add greatly to the ,old production of the district this ear.

earnest and ANNA ted conference par
ticlpated In to-day by about hfteen
Democratic Senator'S. The meeting

the prospect that Senator Martin OF
Virginia. would be elected chairman
OF the Democratic senatorial caucus
The Nebraska leader is understood to
have counseled his intimate senatorial
friends TO select some other Senator
more inclined toward the Bryan POLL
cics Mr.. Bryan offered no personal
opposition to MIR. Martin, but pleaded
that the party should take advantage
OF it's present great opportunity. He
thought this could be done only
through an aggressive policy, to which
in Mr. Bryan's opinion, Mr.. Martins
leadership would not be conducive.
AS many OF the Democratic Senators
ginia colleague. the suggestion was
embarrassing, and conservative Senn-
tors expressed resentment at the inter-
position.
The conference occupied four hours
The only definite conclusion reached
was to ask that the Democratic sena-
torial caucus. scheduled for tomorrow,
be postponed until Friday There will
be no session of the Senate Friday
thus aTording further opportunity for
exchanging views.

by New Mexico and Arizona, Including
the recall provision OF the latter; the
acceptance of the Canadian reciprocity

Some Of the Senators defended Mr..

and declared he was entitled to support

aggressive leadership. They argued
