Hast, who is operating the Con- tention mine for San Francisco owners, has erected a five-stamp mill at the Ari- zona canal, eignt miles from Pheenix. The fuel used is crude oil, and by a sys- tem of constant explosions the machinery is propelled at limited cost, and it is said quite successfully. | " The amount Trequired small, as is surprisingly | thirty-two gallons suffice for twenty-four hours, being but one and a third gallons an bour.

He | had a long talk with the owner of Shaws | Hot Springs, but reached no agreement, and will start in the morning for Walleys Springs, between Carson and Genoa. He learned that Fitzsimmons was expecting to train at Shaws, and did not believe it just the thing to have the two men in the ame place; they might not get along at the table. D. A. Bender of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad arrived from San Francisco this morning. He had been below to arrange with the Soutbern Pacific regarding rates. As new men were put on at the Virginia and Truckee shops after he returned it is regarded as quite certain that he has learned that Carson will get the mill. Work is beiug pushed in every depart- ment ot the railroad in arranging for the extra travel. Cook said it was not material to him His principal was ready to be anywhers on the 17th of next month. Cook 1s now leaning strongly toward Carson. He thinks it is to be the vlace, but is waiting for Stuart to arrive and give the word.

Rough Charactet Under Suspicion Sud- denly Disappears From the Town. WATSONVILLE, Car., Feb. 6.—Night ‘Watchman John W. Alford was found dy- ing on the sidewalk on Lower Main street at 2:30 o'clock this morning. Near his hand lay a pistol and a bullet had penetrated his brain. He expired at 7 o'clock without regaining consciousness. Indications point to a cold-blooded mur- der. “Jack” Bode and Carrie 8mith, who have figured in the justice courts here at different times in the past, are believea to know more of the officer’s death than they have revealed. About 8:30 o’clock this morning Carrie Smith awakened Belle Anderson, a resident of the tender- loin district, and told her thai Alvord had shot himself. Miss Anderson dressed herself and ac- companied the Smith woman to where she found Alford lying on the sidewalk, bleed- ing from a bullet wound in his head. She at once blew her police-whistle, Officer | Fiske arrived and the dying watchman was taken to Dr. Watter's samitarium, where he lingered for several hours. There are several theories in regard to the shooting. Some of the local officers contend that it was a case of suicide, but | can give no reasqn for such a course. It | seems that “Jack’’ Bodie was given six months in the County Jajl or the privi- lege of leaving the county some time ago when arraigned on a charge of vagrancy. He returned to Watsonville on Thursday evening. Officer Alford had threatened to arrest him if he ever returned, and as he had been seen last evening it is believed that Alford attempted to do his duty and was killed for his trouble. Bodie has not been seen since. Miss Smith was detained for an inter- | view by the Sheriff, but has since been | dismissed on hez own recognizance. The inquest has been postponed until Mon- day, 50 as to give the officers more time to work on the case. | Alford was a member of the United Workmen and leaves a widow and eigat children. | UKIAK'S MURDER CASE.

Bro- back of the local force discovered an im- portant link in the chain of evidence against the prisoner. Shortly after thestabbing of Henderson, when the Sheriff placed Ybarra under ar- rest, the latter denied all knowledge of | the 'killing, and when the officers found | an ordinary caseknife among the prison- | er’s effects he claimed it was the only knife he possessed. The wounds on Hen- | derson’s body were not inflicted with a | weapon of this character, and Detective Broback was detailed to search for such a knife as he had seen in Ybarra’s posses- | sion shortly before the affray in which Henderson met his death. He to-day brought to light a dangerous - looking butcher-knife, about nine inches long, with a blage of about five inches and an | extremely sharp point and keen edge, | which he found in the prisoner’s cabin on | Henderson's rancn. e MERCED JAIL TRAGEDY.

MERCED, Car., Feb. 6.—James Irving was arrested yesterday aiternoon and locked in the city calaboose, charged with drunkenness. He was put into, the cell with a hobo who had been arrested earlier in the day and who gave his name as Shephard. Three hours afterward the constable found Irving dead.

The matter is being thoroughly investi- gated, but as yet it is not known whether it is a case of murder or suicide. The Coroner summoned a jury last night. It met and adjourned until Monday night. In the meantime Shephard is being closely waltcbed, and he will be given a searching examination, which meay throw some light on the mystery. Skt O DROWNED NEAR SANTA ROSA.
