"I have two miners at work ing a shaft on this kind of he said, as he proudly exhibited a specimen streaked with the yellow metal. "The shaft is now seventeen feet deep and the paystreak is about a foot and a half in thickness, any sample. of which leaves a good streak of gold in the pan when crushed and washed.

located the claim about two years he added, "'but never thought it was such a good one until about month ago, when I discovered the rich ore sticking out of the surface of the ground. I commenced to dig right away, and it kept looking better, so I hired two miners and put them to work. have owned lots of good property and have sold it cheap but I am not going to let any of these smooth fellows talk me out of this one, It was learned from him that the claim was one of three locations situnted about one and one-half miles north of the Crown Point mines and about two miles north of the MeKinley property, upon which there is said to be an excellent showing in a new shaft now down to a depth of 70 feet. He also says that on one of the claims there is a water right in a tunnel which flows at all seasons of the year and in which a sufhcient supply can be developed for a large stamp mill. DIES AT WALNUT GROVE.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF HOTEL CLERK HUSTED IN HER FIGHT FOR HOMESTEAD Leaves Schuerman Hotel Friday Night MAS. J. H. DREW WINS And All Efforts of Friends To Locate Missing Man Prove Unavailing company, (From Tuesday's Has he been lured to some lonely spot in the surrounding mountains and murdered, or, suffering as he was from the depressing effects of a carbuncle that has been giving him great pain for some time past, has his mind given 'way, causing him to flee from and home, are questions that are seriously worrying the many friends of Charles Husted, who Friday night mysteriously disappeared from the Schuerman Hotel, and has not since been seen or heard of.

Among those most concerned for the i safety of Husted is Geo. H. Schuerman, proprietor of the hotel where Husted has been a trusted clerk for the past seventeen years. Mr. Schuerman states that on Friday evening Husted came to him complaining of a carbuncle that had been worrying him for some time past, and asked if there was any known cure.

Mr. Schuerman told him that he knew of no cure, and suggested that Rusted had best consult a physician. Shortly after this conversation Husted disappeared from the hotel, without telling anyone, or leaving any intimation of his departure, and despite all efforts of Mr. Schuerman and other friends of Husted, no trace of him has since been obtained. Not until Saturday morning was Husted missed from his aceustomed duties.

A search of his room at that time developed the fact that he had left all in order. Later in the day Mr. PEMBERTON AND THE UNLUCKY NO. 13 Kills Man As Outcome Of Playing At Roulette, Case Goes To Jury After Arguments Today (From Tuesday's Daily.) The fate of Pemberton, who, on October 28, 1905, in Winslow. shot and killed Night Marshal Giles of that city, by firing four bullets from a revolver into Giles' body, will this morning be placed in the hands of the jury, the testimony in the case having been completed yesterday afternoon, and the charge and instruct.ons of Judge Sloan read to the jury.

Immediately after the reading of the charge yesterday, District Attorney Geary of Navajo county, wherein oecurred the crime, made the first ment for the prosecution. He minutely described, from the evidence introduced, the killing of Giles, which he termed one of the most heinous murders ever committed in Navajo county, and in so doing made a bitter arraignment of Sheriff Houck of that county, who he accused of attempting to thwart justice, in this special case, by his testimony and interest in the case, instead of trying to assist in the conviction of Pemberton, aN Attorney Geary maintained he should have done as an officer of the law. The prosecutor from Navajo county also stingingly criticised several of the witnesses for the testimony they had given, among them being one man who testified that the woman with whom he had lived six years was not his wife. Geary described dramatically how Pemberton had begun gambling at the Fashion saloon, playing roulette, and how he had become engaged in an altercation with the gambler, Darling, because the latter would not let him press 8 bet on the number 13; how Pemberton stepped back, pulled his gun Daily.) Schuerman called up all the city's phy. sicians and inquired if lusted had visited them the previous evening.

The answer the same in every case; that he had not. Mr. Schuerman then telephoned the hopitals, but Husted had not gone to of them. Schuerman then tried the any livery stables, but Husted had hired no and a call at the S. P.

P. ticket office developed the fact that he had purchased no ticket there for any point along its lines. Although joined in the search for the missing man by a large number of his friends, and although strenuous endeavors to locate him have been kept up since Saturday morning, up to an early hour this morning no trace of him tor his whereabouts had been secured. No adequate reason for flight can be advanced by any of the friends of Husted, as his accounts at the hotel were all perfectly straight, and as he took no wearing apparel or food with him, it is feared that he may have met with foul play. Husted is a man of large stature, weighing some 285 pounds, abont six feet tall, auburn hair, smooth shaven, and ordinarily of a jovial disposition.

Almost everyone that knew him was his friend, and he was not known to have an enemy in the world, so that his friends are utterly at a loss to necount for his more than mysterions disappearance. and declared his intention of killing Darling. He told how Night Marshal Giles stepped up to the infuriated man and requested him to refrain from causing trouble, and how Pemberton had wheeled upon him and fired five shots, four of which took effect, and three of which caused mortal wounds. He told of how Pemberton then repaired to the nouse of a woman with whom he was acquainted, where he demanded more cartridges for his pistol, that he might go back "and finish the how Pemberton later requested of this woman's husband a horse that he might leave the country, and of his subsequent actions, ending with a fervid plea that the jury find the defendant guilty and assess his punishment to fit the crime. Attorney Geary was followed by Attorney E.

M. Doe for the defense, who touched on the evidence introduced tending to show that Pemberton, crazed from a three days' drunk, was mentally irresponsible at the time he Killed Giles, and was therefore entitled to an acquittal, for which he asked. He warmly called the attention of the jury to the facts, as proven by the evi. dence, that Pemberton had been severely burned on the head when only seven months old, and later, when about 11 years of age, had been hit severe blow on the head by a base ball bat, from the effects of which he had been unconscious for some time, Bug. gesting that these and other injuries received in his youth had a tendency to cause temporary insanity when his wystem was inflamed with an overdose of alcoholic stimulants.

His plea of the mental irresponsibil. ity of his client at the time the crime was commited and for his acquittal, was among the most brilliant ever heard at the local bar. It made a deep impression on the audience which filled the court room almost to overflowing, bringing forth many favorable commenta for the able attorney when the court adjourned for the day at the conclusion of his great effort. This morning the arguments of the other attorneys in the case will be concluded, after which the case will be given to the jury, upon their deliberations depending the fate of Pemberton. FINED FOR SUNDAY WORK.

DECATUR, Dee. employes of the Standard Oil company, arrested for working on Sunday, have been convieted and fined. The total fines and costs amount to $245. BIRMINGHAM, Dee. Dubose, former president of the First National Bank of Ensley, was today found guilty of misappropriation of funds, and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary.

BANK PRESIDENT SENTENCED. (From Tuesday's Daily.) Yesterday the law firm of Ross O'Sullivan were notified by the United States Land Office in Phoenix that the General Land Office of the United States, at Washington, had rendered a decision in the case of Mrs. J. 11. Drew of Juniper against the Santa Fe eifie Railroad company and E.

B. Perrin, in favor. of Mrs. Drew, and that the homestead entry of Mrs. Drew on the 80 acres of disputed land, located in the Walnut Creek country, and upon what is known as lieu lands, had been declared a legal entry.

The decision determines the point that one who settles on lien railroad selections, prior to the date of selection by the railroad company, has the better right to the land, although the railroad company may have transferred its title to the land in dispute. CARROLL GOLD AND COPPER COMPANY. This company has heen greatly strengthened by recent changes in the Directorate and by a number of the leading business men of this community becoming financially interested. The company is now preparing to begin operations on a considerable scale and work of a permanent nature will supplant the prospecting methods. The ore bodies will be followed to depth, a hoisting plant capable of sinking 1200 feet or more will be installed and all equipment will be of the best modern type.

H. I. Cloud, M. the Vice President and Consulting Engineer of the company, is now on the coast, locking into the matter of, securing the necessary machinery. For a long time the Carroll mine was generally regarded as a rich silver property, but development has clearly established that it is becoming a big copper mine, which will continue to carry high values in silver and gold.

In the main shaft, now down 240 feet, the ore commences to show sulphides, although it is fully 150 feet yet to permanent water level. The sur face indications in this property are remarkable, the ledges of enormous size and the ground generally mineralized and copper-stained for several hundred feet. The evidences of great disturbances are very marked and the large fissure vein shows pay mineral from the surface. Assays were had from these croppings which gave returns of more than $300.00 per ton. As depth has been attained, the richest of the ore has run up into the' thousands.

The main shafts and drifts are all in ore. The deeper work has disclosed numerous small caves, beautifully stained from mineral fumes and carrying rich deposits and other evidences such as have only been found in the great cop: per mines, The convenient location of this prop orty to the plant of the Arizona Smelting at Humboldt; the presence of an ample water supply, and other favorable commercial conditions, appear to fully justify the optmistie view taken by those interested and the prevailing belief of all who are familiar with the 'mines of the Carroll Gold and Copper that they will have a large and steady producer in the near future. The officers of the company are: A. J. Carroll, President; C.

P. Hicks, Secretary, and A. J. Head, Treasurer. TYSON IS ACQUITTED.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dee. Robert J. Tyson, charged with conspiracy, was acquitted in the United States District Court, today, by a jury, after being out four and one-half hours.
