The Walnut Grove Tragedy.

R. J. Hartman, the attorney who was at Walnut Grove at the time of the recent tragedy there by which Henry McKeown was shot to his death by Homer Campbell, gives further details of the homicide. He states that young Campbell had a dispute with Ed Wagoner at the latter's place of business. Wagon CT to avoid trouble closed his store and went home. Shortly afterwards Campbell met McKeown who is a clerk for Wagoner and without any apparent provocation commenced shooting at him, emptying the en- tire six loads of his revolver at him. Two shots went clear through Me Keown's body while another grazed him, produced slight wound. Me Keown defended himself as best he could by firing three shots at his assailant none of which took effect The shooting occurred at 10 80 o'clock on Wednesday night and McKeown died about four on Thurs day morning.
 Campbell was reported to have been intoxicated at the time. He was arrested and placed in charge of four men armed with Winches- ter rifles but the report reached Prescott last night that he had made his escape-Star.

ArlZ0naS Mineral Resources.

"One thing has struck me quite { forcibly during my absence from the territory" remarked a we'll i known mining man yesterday, who,
 after a number of years of residence
 in the territory, left for the east a
 year ago, where he has since resided.
 "It is this," he continued, "eastern 1 people only once m a great while
 hear of mining deal out in this country; whereas, if ever so poor a property changes hands in Cobra 1 do the news is at once telegraphed all over tle country, and what is the
 result of this? Eastern capitalists,
 men anxious to invest in mining properties that would pay well,
 hearing only rarely of anything be- ing done in Arizona and almost daily learning of big deals in Col Iorado and other mineral states, scome at once to the conclusion that there is nothing out here and that the Centennial state Is the state for them to invest their spare cash in. 1 have noticed this fright along. Now, those acquainted with the mineral resources of Southern Arl- zona know we'll that this territory is second to no other territory or state in the union when 1t comes to the richness and quantity of its gold ores.
 You need more advertising. Mining men should take more in terest and see to it that every min ing deal is thoroughly advertised. 1 have always found the press per tectly willing to boom any industry in it's section. All that Arizona needs to. make it one of the biggest producers of gold in the country is capital to open aud develop on an extensive scale inc rich mines now lying idle because of theowners not ls..a,ing the money to put in suita- ble plants to reduce the ores. After a time the mining men will come to a realization of these facts, and then will follow new era in the territory's mining industry. Tue, son Star.

 Two Mexicans, Ramon Bega and Dolores Ortega, have made what seems to be a rich strike near Gold Hill. They came down to the city yesterday to bring a large variety of gold ore taken from the La Pom pa claim. Several assays were made yesterday and the ere was found to range in value from $3O to S2S5 ton.

The San Simon Shooting.

It appears now that it was Phil Hehy, we'll known in Tombstanc, and not John Duncan, who was shot in the San Simon valley. An associated press dispatch says that Hehy was on his way to a roundup in the Saein's Pass range when a number of shots was fired at him, one taking effect, passing through his left lung just above the heart. His pack animals, which he was driving before him were killed.
 The attack was presumably made to get his frearmes, ammunition, and contents of the pack saddles. Everything tends to show it to be the work of Kids band.
 Hehy returned the fire, but found himself getting to weak from loss of blood: and barely reached the nearest ranch five miles away, where he lies in dying condition. -Prospector.

TOOK HIS OWH LIFE. Suicide of an Old Time Resident. John '. Collins Dies by His Own
 Hands.
Tie Deed Vas Deliberate and Caused by
 DespOEdency and Drink.

Shortly before 2 clock yesterday afternoon John V, Collins walked into his room at Third avenue and Madison streets, hunted up a big expand ball Colts revolver, lay down npon his bed and sent a bull let into his brain. Mr. Mcfarland, the Jesse of the balance'of the house, was in the garden at the time, with in twenty feet of the room. Rush. ing in, he found Collins lying com posed upon the bed as though for sleep, the pistol still smoking, still in the twitching grasp of the sui eide. Others quickly followed, the revolver was wrenched from the now stifening hand and physicians were hurriedly called. But it was of no used, The bullet had pene- trated skull upon the right side, two inches above the ear, lodging in the brain. The wound was bad ly powder burned, showing that the weapon had been placed with the muzzle 10 the very skin.
 Unconsciousness must have come with the touch of the bullet, though death did not ensue for nearly an hour.
 An inquest was called by Justice Johnstone during the afternoon,the verdict rendered being "death at his own hand"
 The, body was taken in charge by the Odd Fellows, to which order he belonged. as we'll as to the Knights of PYthias. The. funeral will be held under charge of the Odd Eel lows at this afternoon from the late residence of deceased.
 Charlie Collins, the only son, has been telegraphed to at San Bernar- dino, Cal, but he is not likely to arrive for several days.
 Johnnie" Collins, as he was gen erally known, was one of the best knowh meu in Arizona, and had been a resident of Phoenix since the fall of 1877. He was a native of New York, and in his fifty-seventh year. Nearly all his life had been spent in the west, mainly ill the various occupations connected with the management of stage lines. During the first few years of his residence in Arizona, he was an employe of the great star.route firm of Gilmer, Salisbury & Co.,, there after for many years having the charge of the county court house. For the past year he has been doing a little carpentry work, though mainly supported by the income from his little property.
 That the deed has been long pre- meditated there is abundant evi- dence. Since the death of his wife last winter, he has been Respondent, and at times has attempted, with out success, to drown his sorrows in the flowing bowl. Several days ago he informed J. E. Boyd that lie had oiled and loaded an old revol- yer and that he might be heard of as dead ann day.
 Collins was a man of the kindli- est disposition, without an enemy. His death will be heard of with the sincerest sorrow all over the south west, for his acquaintance was ex- tensive and his friends were many. Gazette.

per corporations of Montana cannot
afford to have their copper treated else
where.
Think Of this, the one item of the
yearly replacement of pipes in a small
concentration at Butte, due to foul water,
will pay six per cent on the cost of a
well-equipped concentration at Great
Falls.
The limitless supply of fuel, cheap and
of the best quality, found at our doors,
must effect the amount of profit. as
compared to places where haulage has
to be made hundreds of miles. The day
is not far distant when smelling will be
done by electricity, and companies will
naturally seek the place where that can
be procured the cheapest, in connection
with an abundant supply of water and
abundant means of transportation.
No other place besides Great Falls
fills the bill-not a single thing required
for the successful operation of works, we
care not how large, but what is found
here.
In conclusion we would state that as
the pioneer copper giant corporation es-
tablished here the name Of the Boston
d Montana smelter and refinery is now
inseparably connected with that of our
beloved city, and knowing as we do the
boundless possibilities and resources
Of Great Falls we may fully assume that
the success which has attended the
building and operation of these gigantic
works is a prophetic exemplification of
the growth and success of Great Falls in
the future.

COPPER SHELTER,
Continued from First page.

at the upper end, over a line of ore bins
tending the full width, into which the
ore from the mines fall from automatical-
~ discharging cars. From these bins
the ore is carried automatically through
the building. till it is finally discharged
at the lower end of the building in the
form of concentrates into cars, which
carry it to the smelter for further treat
ment.
Leaving the bins the ores go first to
the crushers. Of which there are six, two
lOx2O and four 4x1O; then through the
rolls four in number 16x26, it then
passes through the hydraulic separators,
twelve in number, passing next to the
collum jigs Of which there are ninety-six
on the upper floor.
The middlings from the Jigs are then
crushed by two 1926 rolls, and again
pass through hydraulic separators, four
in number, and then through the thirty
two collum jigs on the lower floor.
The shines then pass through the
t%wenty-four round tables and twenty
frue banners. In these two floors men
toned the amount of shafts, belts,
wheels, machines, etc, in motion is some-
thing ~bewildering on account Of their
number, and in some cases eccentric
motion. and all of which are moved by
water power. In fact water is every
where, as 1t is required not only in the
power brought into the building, but
also in increment through the ore while
undergoing the various processes.
The product is now carried automati-
cally through a system of tanks and bins
for settling, and is now in the form Of
concentrates ready for the smelter.
The concentrater has a capacity of
600 tons per diem at present, but addi-
tional machinery is being O put in to
increase the capacity to 900 tons daily.
The concentrator boiler house is a
building built Of stone and tireproof. 1t
contains two boilers of $50 horse power
each, and two of so horse power each.

Coulee coal, II miles away, obtained at
a small advance over cost OF production.
The difference is readily appreciable.
The great converters are also prom
inent objects Of attraction to a scientific
man. As water was the principal prom
inent object in the concentration, so fire
in the smelter, The stupendous masses
of metal forming the furnaces, ETC., the
white glazing heat Of the gas, and the
movements of the giant electric crane,
leave an impression on the writer not
easily forgot.
The Smelter Boiler House.
This building, made of stone and
thoroughly fi~reproof, contains four 100
horse power boilers.
The FIue and Stack.
Leading from the smelter and with
which it's furnaces are connected, is a
double flue which carries away tho
noxious gases and fumes, connecting
with the stack on the summit of Indian
point. The f1ue is 1000 feet long and
the stack $50 feet in height above it's
base, which thus discharges the smoke
q fumes about 500 feet above the
level of the river. The stack is 20 feet
in diameter on the inside and required
one million brick in its eraction.
The height at which the smoke is dis
charged. in addition to the fact that the
prevailing winds blow down the river, is
a guarantee that Great Falls will never
suffer from the effects of smelter smoke.
In the long flue are several condensing
which serve for dust deposits,
and little if any of the metal sought to
be saved ever passes up the stack. The
fiue can be cleaned out as often as re-
quired on account of its being double.
1t is estimated that fifty per cent of the
cost of the fiue can be saved yearly from
the value of the deposits in the condens.
ing chambers.

and concentration, on the upper bench,
