TRIED TO FOOL CONSTABLE.
Keency Comedian Attempts to Pay Official With $500 in Stage Money.

Sol Fields, one of the comedians with the Hoity Toity Girls at keeney S theater, was foiled in an attempt to pull a joke on Constable Fred Win kle yesterday afternoon, when the lat ter served papers on him for s5oo lawsuit preferred against him by D. P. Atchinson of New York, who claimed payment of two promissory notes. Judge J. II. Kirkham made out the papers.
 When Fields was served with the papers he counted out $500 worth of stage money and tried to induce the constable to take 1t. Fred knows the color and feel of the real cash, how ever, and refused to be buncoed. As Fields had no money coming to him, it could not be attached. The shows stock was not worth $500 either. so Wrinkle had to depart without accom- plishing his purpose.

JAM ON MAIN STREET.
Mrs. F. IT. Johnston Narrowly Es-
 capes Serious Injury.

An automobile belonging to Dou- glass A. Johnston, team driven by Frank Bello, of 27 Holmes avenue, and the trolley car coming from Plainville at about 5:20 yesterday af- ternoon were involved in a jam that might easily have had disastrous re- suits, all of which was said to be due to the thoughtlessness of the mo- torman.
 Mrs. F. H.. Johnston was sitting in her sons car, which was standing alongside the curb on Main street across the street form c. l.. Pierce's music store, into which her husba and, president of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, had just gone on busi- ness. Just as MT. Bello's team was passing the automobile the car came along. The driver saw that the pas sage between the trolley car and the automobile was too small for him to get through safely and he tried to avoid 1t. The car, however, went
 right along and pushed the horses against the automobile, which went up on two wheels on the curb. The body was bent and the front axle was sprung. ". +'

TWO MORE CAMPS FOR COPPER
 BASIN
EFFECT OF THE STRIKE IN THE LOMA PRIETTA ISl SHOWN IN INTEREST IN THAT FIELD.
(From Tuesday's Gaily.)

Copper Basin district, since the
 strike in the Loma Prietta, is the mineral magnet to attract attention, and two more camps are to resume an active condition at once-the Rainy Day of Louis LeBarr and the group owned by Hoskins, Larkin & Hogan.
 Mir. LeBarr stated yesterday he is arranging to begin development to carry out exploration that was sus- pended after annual title work was done earlier in the year. He will drive the tunnel 800 additional feet, giving a total of 600 feet, when depth of foot for foot will be reached. The old crosscut was run for 200 feet and work also will begin at that point In all workings, LaBarr states, there is ore, and he will ship to the shelter later. His group is situated to the northeast of the Commercial, less than one mile distant.
 Mr. Hoskins left yesterday for his camp, to take charge of development, and all three owners will for the pres ent perform the work In the past year the group has been prospected only, but hencefortn central point is to be selected and deep development given. Mir. Hoskins stated yesterday the Loma Prietta strike, and the heavy production of the Commercial, | add very much interest to the future possibilities of that belt, and he and have decided to go ahead | on a permanent basis hereafter. They are located near and to the northwest )f the Commercial

The mine force will also be increased as soon as he ar rives, line of extensive exploration having been decided upon Work will soon begin in building new wagon road of over mile and half in length out of Crook canyon to the camp and surface improvements be made.

SUMMONS COMES ON SAT URDAY TO ONE AND ON SUNDAY ANOTHER IS CALLED AWAY.
(From Tuesdays Dsily.)

Dr. NJ. M. Gilbert passed away at the Pioneers Home on Christmas day, after being in a feeble state of health for many months, incidental to his age of over 90 years. His life ended as if going into sleep, and his last hours were attended with not word of complaint or a murmur over his earthly career coming to a close.
 This Hassayamper was prominent ly known in very early days in Ari- zona, and was a practicing physician whose only fault was fis open gen erosity. Scores of trips he made to succor and alleviate the sutferings of mankind and to attend those who were wounded by Indians His field was ill the southern part of the State, as well did he administer to those Mexicans in Sonora who frequently requested his services. Dr. Gilbert was born in Kentucky in 1925, and started his proteSSlonal career before he had reached his thirtieth year, west oi the Missouri river. He nas no known relatives.
 James w. Lcehy, also a member of the Pioneers Home, died on Sunday, at the age of 71 years. He was a native of Quebec, Canada. coming to Arizona in 1881, and locating at Tombstone, and following the voca- ton of miner.

CONFIRMS COPPER BASIN
 BIZ STRIKE
SAYS ORE BODY IS EIGHT FEET WIDE IN LOMA PRIETTA AND IS YET UNDETERMINED.
(From Tuesdays Oaiiy.)


 Ed. Block visited the Loma Prietta holdings in Copper Basin on Sunday, to investigate new development from which a big strike was reported, an l hatly stated yesterday the showing Is remarkable, the ore dump carries unmistakable evidence of what has been accomplished, and the coming of another fine copper for that belt seems to be assured: He said:
 "When the strike occurred only fast week the shaft had reached near ly depth of 80 feet, when the quartz porphyry dyke was hit showing 9 strong body of chalco-pyrite. As depth was given the ore body has widened to fully eight feet, and as yet is not determined, by continued sink, ing which all the more favorably i'm pressed me and others as to what may reasonably be expected to follow af- ter further development is given. At the deepest point there is also good sized vein of molybdcnitc that lays in an independent state from the chalco pyritc. The shaft is being sunk on vertical lines, and it would appear a, if the chalco-pyrite is lying in the dyke that has an inclined dip. The show ing of the Loma Prictta is wonderful. and sets at rest ill-timed reports cir culatcd against that field for many years, resulting in the keeping of capital out, notwithstanding that the Commercial is making better show ing and has bigger output today than at any time in its history, with out taking into consideration the ger orally fine showing other mines arc making as development goes ahead. Ii is my unqualified belief, as well is others conversant with actual coldi- lions, that the Copper Basin ficid is rapidly advancing into a condition to give it prominent rating and earnest henceforth.'

LOMA PRIETTA IS
 PACING GOOD FUTURE
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 Adviccs from Copper Basin ycstcr- day brought the important news that heavy copper sulphidcs had been de- yclopcd in the main shaft at depth Of about l40 feet by the Loma Prictta Mining Co.,, and those interested were very much elatcd over this mineral condition being established. So far as development has been given, this ore condition exists for eight feet, in sinking, and it Is believed the sul- phidc zone tapped is permanent. The width of the body was not learned.
 This undertaking has been under hcadway less than two months, the company being created after John Livezey secured the Loma Prietta mine holdings, and acquired an op- ton on the Scncrcr group, upon which in recent years but limited work has been performed. The Prietta holdings embrace a very large acreage, and are situated east of the Commercial and adjoin it. The striking of this character Of an ore body Is occasion ing very much comment in this city mining men.

Tom Reed And United Eastern
 In Big Merger

The Mollave Miner announces a merger of the Tom Reed and the United Eastern mines in the Oatman district. The Tom Reed Is one of the oldest and richest gold mines in the State and the United Eastern is the newest and richest, the opening of which star@d the Oatman boom a few montns ago. The United Eastern adjoins the Tom Reed ground. Their workings are separated only by a bulkhead. It is stated that one of the reasons for the forming Of it was to avoid prospective litigation. There was, however, another reason why a consolidation1would be advantageous. The Tom Reed has a mill of thirty stamps of which only ten are now in use and of which not more than twen- ty have ever been used. The ore from the United Eastern, of which there is said to be S10,000,000 worth in sight, wifi keep the mill running to capacity. The merger has not yet progressed to the stage of selection of officers for the new company.
 The Tom Reed during the last four years has sent $1,OO0,0O0 of gold to the mint. The United Eastern has had a phenomenal career. It was opened only little more than year ago and for a time its stock went begging at and 10 cents share. It has since sold at $4 share and is now ranging between S3.75 and $3.95.
