Sunday, Hugh Mulleu, a saloon

charged twice, one of the bullets
hitting Mullen near the navel aud
the other hitting him in the thigh.

is under arrest. Mullen is an old
resident of Clifton. At one time he
( was roadmaster on the narrow gague

Prof Blandy places the gold out
put of Yavapai county for 1896 at
f 1,599,(589. The output for 1895 was
$1,558,831. The increased gold pro
duction of 18ÜG over 1895 is S320.S28
or 24 J per cení. ' Gold produced in
the entire territory of Arizona in
1895 was J 1,871,51 8, in 1S96, $2,G8G,
879, an increase of $S15,279, or 34
per cent. The territorial estimate
does not include Mohave county a
rich mineral section from which
Prof. Blandy was unable to obtain
statistics. By these figures it will
be seen- that Yavapai county pro
duced almost as much gold in 1896
.as the entire territory did in 1895,
and produced over half as much as
the balance of the territory in 1896,
which shows that Yavapai county
contains the gold belt of the terri
tory, the output from which this
year, bids fair to double that of 1896.

V. J. Cartmell, who left Flagstaff
some time ago to do some assessment
work on mining property at Jerome, '
owned by Mr. Cartmell and John
Sanderson, and who started to return-
to Flagstaff on Feb. 11, was
found about three-quarters of a mile
from the pump house Monday eve
ning by W. II. Pierce, the engineer.
Mr. rierca states that he found Cart
mell standing in the deep snow,
calliucr louc.lv for aid. He was
nearly exhausted from exposure to :
the cold, and had been walking and j
leading the poney and pack animal j
with which he left Jerome. His
feet wore so badlv frozen that ho
j could go no further and if Mr,
Pierce had not heard his cries for
help and promptly come to hia res
cue he would surely have frozen to
death.' Mr. Pierce took him to the
pump house, done everything possi
ble to aleviate his pain and early
Tuesday morning brought him in
to town. Ho was conveyed, to his
residence aud Dr. Robinson sum
moned. Mr. Cartmoll's feet are
frozen so badly that it is feared am
