MOL LYBDEN|TE IS ACCIDENTALLY
 DISCOVERED
BIG SILICA DYKE ON LYNX CREEK PLACER IT IS CLAIMED, CARRIES THE RICH METAL.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Samples of molybdenite brought to this city yesterday and exhibited by C. H. Israel and 0. o. Smith of the Wichita Placer Company, excited much interest among mining men, ewing to the discovery being made ill formation that is being utilized for placer purposes.
 Mir. Smith stated his inqusitivenesS to ascertain what a silica dyke carried that cuts through one of the claims, of from ten to twelve feet in width, proved big surprise when flakes of this metal were seen freely dissemin- ated in the lily white quartz. The cropping is oxidized from exposure, but a few inches from the surface, its natural state appears, and molybden- ite of a high grade prevails, but ot what percentage will be determined after analysis is made of a large lot to be shipped later to Denver.
 MT. Smith also states the dyke had been passed over scores of times by himself and was known to all miners of that ield. It had, however, never been prospccted, being regarded as one of the characteristic formations of that belt that was barren of any gold, silver or copper values, what cver The stripping of the dyke is going ahead and a few shallow cuts expose this rare metal in such quan- titles as 10 warrant deep work, that begins at once.
 The Wichita people now have on their hands dual mining proposition to solve, the recovery of known plac- CT values at one point, and the deter imitation of a Assure problem at an other. The latter at the present time is expressing more attention than the former.

THINKS CONGRESS WILL BE RIVAL
 OF OATMAN
ARIZONA MINING CHAP TER PRESIDENT OPTI- MYSTIC OVER OUTLOOK FOR THAT DISTRICT.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

PHOENIX, Dec. 13. - w. B. Twitchell, president of the Arizona Chapter Of the American Mining Con- gross, believes that the Congress dis trict will, within few months, be the scene of a development even greater than that which is now taking place at Oatman. He said this morning:
 q sincerely hope that the Mohave county district will prove all that the men up there hope for, and more. 1 am sure tGat there are lot of good properties there and that number of good producing mines will result from the present excitement.
 At the same time believe that ill the Congress district we have one that is even greater than that at Oat- man. 1 may add that, of my own personal knowledge, I know of at least Is properties that will require but little labor and money to put them in the producer class.
 "phe history of the district is a curious one. I believe it is without a parallel, for mines were abandoned just when work should have been pushed to the limit of possibility and just about every other foolish mis- take that could be made was made Mills were put in that were not adapt ed to handle the ores of the district; money was spent on sinking shafts apparently to see how deep the funds available would carry the digging; machinery either enormously too large or ridiculously too small was bought and it seemed as if an evil fate was constantly on guard to see that nothing in the way of error was overlooked.
 Now that we have absolutely cor rect processes and mining has been reduced 10 a real science, the ricl ores of the district will be handled cheaply and with great profit. l do not like to pose as a seer, but an other year will show wonderful de velopment in what I honestly believe is the richest district in the State. l am showing my own faith and that Of my associates by the work we are doing on the Rincon property. We have only made small beginning but will have large force of men at work before the end of the year"

r AL TIN INSANITY TRIAL TAXES
 PLACE TODAY
HEARING TO DETERMINE IF MURDERER SHALL BE HANGED OR COMMIT TED TO ASYLUM.

PHOENIX, Dec. 13. - Probably surpassing in general interest even the trial as to his guilt, will be the trial as to William Faiths sanity be- fore Judge Otis E. Baughn of the Pinal Superior court tomorrow, at which a board of alienists will make an investigation. Attorney General Wiley Jones and Dr. H. A. Hughes left this city Sunday for Florence. Dr. H. K. Beauchamp, also of this city, left today. The third member of the board will be Dr. Randall, the prison physician.
 According to good legal opinion it will have to be shown conclusively that Faltin became insane during the time that elapsed since he was resent cnced by Judge R. C. Stanford here on Friday, December 3. And here comes an odd phase of the law. The statute under which his honor pro nounced the second sentence of death against the murderer, states that if no legal reason exists, and if there is no appeal pending, the murderer shall be rescntenced. In concluding to give Fa1tin his second sentence, Judge Stanford was compelled under the law to know that no legal reason existed for not imposing such sentence, So, the resentcncing act rendered. Faltin clear of any insanity charge that hap pened to be pending at that time. In the eyes of the law, Faltin stood, d sane man, before his earthly judge, and was, for the second time, con demned to pay the penalty of death, for the death he had dealt Carl Pet erson. The act wiped out previous questions as to his sanity.
 In Drs. Hughes and Beauchamp, the State mas two men who ought to be well qualified to pass on the sanity or a subject. Each has been superin- tendent of the Arizona hospital for the insane, and each has made deep study of mental ills. Dr. Beauchamp headed the asylum during the reign of Governor R. E. Sloan; Dr. Hughes administration was previous to that of Dr. Ketchcrside.
 As stated by Attorney General Jones, the proceedings at Florence tomorrow will not be a trial, in the ordinary sense of the word. It will be a summary investigation, for the protection both of the prisoner and of the State The statute provides that tine State shall hang no man who is not mentally responsible. In deter mining Faiths sanity, the court and its attaches, the attorneys and the doctors. are preventing the State from disobeying the law in executing a man whose mental processes are in ques- ton. The law also acts as a statute of mercy, preventing the inAiction of the death penalty where there is a reason under the law, for such penalty being cancelled or postponed.
 A jury will sit on the case, but no arguments will be exchanged. The medical board will test the subject, who, it is said, does not like being called crazy, and the test, conducted before the jury, will form the basis for the verdict, which will settle whether Faltin is to be hanged on January 7, or will be remanded to the custody of the asylum authorities.
