The shooting was in Salmon’s room and was the result of the atten- tions which Sneideki was forcing upon Salmon’s mother. He had called at the house scores of times during the past several weeks and had repeatedly de- manded of the woman that she marry him. She refused every time he made | the proposal, and on one occasion he tried to cut his throat because of her | refusal. To-day he appeared at the house and | agaln demanded that she marry him, | but she again refused. He then said he would get a marriage license and | return, and if she did neot consent then | | he would kill somebody. An hour later he again appeared at the house, and, entering young Salmon’s room, accused him of having influenced his mothcr not to consent to marrying him. Dur- ing the quarrel which followed Snei- deki attacked the young man, who fled from the room, but his assailant fol- lowed him. Finding himself cornered Salmon drew a revolver and com- menced shooting. —_—— MACHINES TO REGISTER VOTES AT SANTA CLARA | Mechanical Contrivance Will Be Used for the First Time at Town Election. SANTA CLARA, April 2.—For the first time on the Pacific Coast voting | machines will be used at Santa Clara Monday: Interest is being aroused in | | the matter all over the State and many of the cities and towns will send | representatives to observe the work- | ing of the machines. Mayor Druffel has invited Registrar George P. Adams and the Board of Election Commissioners” to visit Santa Clara | on election day and the invitation has | been accepted. Other bay cities will | also be represented. Four machines will be used at Santa Clara, and these are now at vnrmua: places in the college city, so that the | electors may become acquainted with | the mechanism of the machines. This is a part of the lot of fifteen machines | received by Santa Clara County a couple of weeks ago. Palo Alto and | Los Gatos will also use veting ma- | chines at their municipal elections to | be held next month. —_—e—————— ‘Workmen Unearth a Skeleton. SAN JOSE, April 2.—A well pre-| served skeleton has been uncovered | in an excavation at 65 Fox avenue. From the size of the bones and teeth the remains are thought to be those of a man. The fdct that the body was face downward seems to indicate that the man had been murdered and hur- riedly buried. But four feet of earth covered the bones. It is thought the body has been buried for years. The circumstances surrounding the death of the man will probably remain a mystery. —————— House Docsn’t Favor Markham.

It | ‘was he that discovered the famous Iron King Mine near Prescott, for which 35,000,000 was recently refused by ke present owners. He was also the discoverer of & group of | mines called the Yavapai, which mining men believe of far more future valus than the great Iron King property, and he is now just start- ing to open up this second great property with & force of competent miners. This group s but s comparatively short distance from the ceiebrated Bisbee Queen, cne of the world- famous producers, and the equally wonderful | United Verde mines, with the history of which | almost every one is conversant—how it raised Senator Clark from the ranks to a great multi- miilionaire, giving him an income from the | preperty of over $1,000,00 a month, and fer which he recently refused $90,000,000. POOR PROSPECTOR. Hagine, when he discovered these mines, vas but a poor prospector, and he was forced 10 sell the Iron King for a mere eong simgly because he had nct the neceseary funds to open up the property, and the capitalista who pur- chased it aleo wanted the Yavapal group, but | thin he abeolutely refused to part with, well | realizing its great value. Friends besteged him with requests for an interest, and to satisfy them and at the same time ralse sufficient money to place machinery on the ground and develop the rich ledges cp the property he finally consented to the organization of & com- pany ard the sale of a limited amount of the treasury stock at a price €0 low in comparison with the value of the other rich mines of th dlstrict that it abeolutely insures a handsome profit to all the lucky shareholders. DEVELOPMENT WORK. Already a shaft eighty feet deep has beem sunk, and 25 depth is attained the ore increases in ric! A 35-foct drift rorth was then rum and a cross-cut 40 feet west to determine the extent of the ore bodies. This work absolutely demonsirates the great bodles of ore that lay hidden within this group of mines, awaiting but further development and cpeniug up to place it among the long list of Arizona’s great dividend-payers and producers.

The mines of Arizona have until the last few years been negiected on account of the flerce- ness of the Apache Indlans, who for many years after the acqu'sition of Arizona by the United States absolutely prevented any ome Pprospecting the great gold flelds that all knew o extst there.

The Indlans have mow long since been subdued and hundreds of millions of dollars have been the reward of the lucky mine owners and Investors in this mar¥elously rich region within the past few years. Al- most every one is famiilar with the great Ari- zona Mines, the Bisbee Queen, which is one of the greatsst producers in the world.
