1t is strange that criminala are sell

completely or to screen their operations
so cleverly that the light of truth does
not break in and disclose their evi
ways. An illustration to the point was
enacted few days ago in the office of
District Attorney James Fl. Hill at Bar
aboo.
This occurred in come :tion with the
arrest of Ray Nor ton and his woman
companion of Evan sville, he being par
oled to her brother and both residing in
the Noyes residence at thescorner of
Ash and Firs while vending patent

The San Juan Property

We quote from the Mining World
this account of an Arizona property
which has lately came into promin-
ence:
The San Juan, one Of the old. his
toric mines of Arizona located in the
early eighties, has been taken over
by a syndicate, headed by f. w. Esta-
brook, a director of the Miami Cop
per Company The twelve claims,
comprising the group were originally
located by = woman. who had come
out to Arizona from the east and pros
pected in the Lon Star Mining dis
trict She was able to interest east
ern capital and company was form
ed. which resulted in a partial de-
Velopment- of the claims, the deepest
work being prosecuted to 335 feet
with little over 1900 feet of lateral
work. Records show that this com
panr shipped over $3S5,000 worth Of
ore, but owing to the then slump in
copper and disagreement between the
stockholders and the management of
the mine, operations suspended and
the property was worked only in
spasmodic manner. until years ago
when extensive churn drilling was
carried on. 1t is estimated that by
this drilling over 1000, 900 tons of mill
ing ore, averaging 1867 per cent cop
per has been developed. Last Beb-
