to the sister republic. The prison now stands upon the east bank of the Colo rado river. It will thus be seen that there is a decided political aspect to the question from an Arizona stand point, and a successful issue of the Chavez case would operate as posi- tive victory for northern Arizona as against Yuma county and southern Ar izona in necessitating the removal of the prison to Prescott.
 The loss to Yuma would be seri- ous one The town now subsists large lv unon +he -soney spent in maintain ihrarv. s,6 thus Yuma would lose
 source of constant rev enue, but would also be deprived of its city water frontage on the Colo rado, as the boundary line would then run between the greater portion of the town and the river, putting all of the river south of where it unites with the Gila in California The outcome of the case will be watched for by many, not only on account of its interesting legal aspects, but from the fact that it will affect so many and such varied inter ests in the territory.

A MINE HORROR.
Nearly One Hundred Men Entomb.d
in a Coal Shaft.
iAnons the victims Are Mayor Langan
and . Number of Minor Omcials
N The Disaster Is Believed to
Have Been Caused by Cave-In.

NvuKEsBARRE. Pa. June 29.-The lit.
tile city of Pittston is in mourning as
res suit of the terrible disasters which
have cost SO many lives in Pennsyl.
ivania A large number of her citi.
zcns, variously estimated at from
eighty to one hundred and twenty.
five, are entomed at the bottom OF
the Twin shaft, owned by the Newton
Coal company, and at "A late hour sun.
day night the prospect of saving the
lives of any of these unfortunate men
Us exceedingly poor. Among the vic
Tins is NJ. j. Langan, mayor of Pitts
ton, who was superintendent of the
mine. A number of minor officials of
the company are also in the pit
The disaster. which was at first at
tributed to an explosion OF gas, is now
believed to have been caused by gen.
eral cave-in on the lower levels. 1t
was noticed several days ago that the
rock between the fifth and sixth veins
was working" and since that time a
large force of men has been at work
taking measures to insure the safe
'lty of the workings. About three
O'Clock Sunday morning, without

the men were working, collapsed with
y shock which aroused everyone in
the town, causing them at first to
think an earthquake had occurred.
The truth was soon learned, however,
and within two hours thousands of ex-
cited people gathered about the head
Iof the shaft. the relatives of the un-
fortunate men below indulging in the
iwildest manifestations of grief The
women and children who had lost hus.
bands and fathers were frantic.
But four men escaped from the mine
and not one of these could tell con-
nected story of how the disaster occur
red, or what was the condition of
the lower levels. The work OF
rescue was begun as soon as
possible, but the first four
trips made into the mine were without
result. Later conference of mining
officials decided on a more systematic
plan and large force was put to work
with all necessary appliances to en-
deavor to reach the imprisoned men.
1T was found impossible to work
Through the mass of debris in the direc-
,tion of the regular passages and at a
late hour Sunday night it was decided
ito delve a gangway from an adjoining
lcolliery.
4 This will undoubtedly take several
days to complete and it is feared that
in the meantime such of the unfortu-
mates as were not killed by the cave-in
will perish slowly of starvation.
Nearly all the men in the mine were
married and some of them have large
families. As stated above, the esti-
mate of the number entombed varys
greatly, but the number is certainly
not less than eighty.

The Talk of Gold Men Buying Silver Dele
gates at the Chicago Convention.
CHICAGO, June 29.-Hugh c. Wallace,
,delegate-at-large from the state of
Washington and member of the dem
ocratic national committee, who arrived
Sunday from New York, where he has
been in conference with Mr.. Whitney
and other sound money leaders, says:
"The talk of gold men coming to
Chicago to buy silver delegates is all
bosh. There will be no attempt to CO.
cree nor will there be any unfair
means used There will be host of
strong, earnest Democrats from
the east and other localities
who of national prominence and lead
ership who will come to dissuade the
silver leaders from party suicide. They
will show conclusively that the adop-
tion of IL to 1 platform by the con-
venticn will mean humiliation of the
democracy of New York, Connecticut
and New Jersey. There are those who
believe that these states have been the
bulwarks of democracy in the past and
are essential in the future. Should the
convention adopt a 16 to l platform
and nominate silver candidate, it will
not be 80 days before the issue is clearly
defined and reduced to panic VS.. no
panic, with the result that the COM
bined business interest OF the country
will be arrayed against that candidate
whose election means panic. No party
has ever succeeded with the business

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

The Director Makes His Report ON the
Total Value of the Mineral Products Of
the United States.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-According to
official statistics just issued by the
director of the geological survey the
total value of the mineral produc is Of
the United States for 1895 increased
over $50, 900, 600 beyond the value for
1898, or from S527, 1868, ,594 to S. 1, 795, 300.
This increase is considered long step
towards recovery from the depression
to which the mineral industry like all
others has been subjected.
While the coal product is great, it is
much steadier in spite of the extra de-
mand for it in order to produce an ex-
ira supply of iron.
Another noticeable feature will be
the profitable producing districts in the
Appachian range. Nature gas showed
a decline, the pressure decreasing in
all the fields, thereby shortening the
life of each we'll and greatly reducing
the product, especially in Pennsylvania.
Almost all the remaining minerals
show substantial improvement.

CORNELL WON.
Eighteen Thousand People Witness the
Boat Race at Poughkeepsie, N. Y.

PoUGHKEEpsIE, n. V. June 27.-
''Rah for Cornell Eighteen thousand
people grouped upon the picturesque
banks of the Hudson with the last rays
of the setting sun casting golden
sheen upon the water saw the stalwart
eight from Ithaca win first honors
over Harvard. Pennsylvania and
Columbia. 1t was a great race. Prob
ably no prettier has been rowed before
a greater crowd in American waters.
All conditions of air and water were
perfect. Not flaw marred the con-
test of the crack of the starters pistol
to the crossing of the finish line. Cor
nell won by four lengths in 1929,
official time. Harvard was Sec
ond. Pennsylvania third and
Columbia a poor fourth. AS spec
tacular scene the race was one long to
be remembered. The course, four
mile stretch straight as the crow flies,
lay near the west bank of the Hudson
and was spanned by the great canti-
lever bridge, the finish being one mile
below that structure and the start three
miles above.
The official time was returned as fol-
lows: Cornell, 1919; Harvard, 1899;
Pennsylvania, 20.1l.
This time if correct establishes a new
American record as the best previous

CANTON. o., June 29.-The city of
Canton has witnessed a good many
demonstrations of an enthusiastic ma
ture since Maj. Mckinley was nomi-
mated and there have been thousands
of strangers within her gates. All
the demonstrations and visitors up
to this time, however, have been
of an unofficial, if not inform
al character. Monday the advent
of the notification committee, COM
posed of one member from each state
and territory, selected by the national,
committee at st. Louis for the purpose
of conveying to the candidate
of the notice of his nomina-
ton, will be an event of more signifi-
canoe and Importance than the coming
of all of the other visitors and delega-
tions which Mckinley has received.
The chairman of the committee. Sem
ator John NJ. Thurston, of Nebraska,
will be the spokesman for the commit
tee Monday. Gov. McKinley's speech
in reply to Senator Thurston will he
scanned Wlun lnJeTcSu. IL Will AOI DC
long and he will not at this time at
tempt to discuss in significant or
elaborate way the dominant issues of
the campaign.
Nothing in the way of an exhaustive
formal utterance may be expected un-
til he publishes his letter of accept
ance, which will be in month or six
weeks. This is the usual time which a
candidate allows to elapse between the
date of his official notification and the
publication of his official acceptance OF
the nomination.
Maj. Mckinley is not disposed to de-
part from custom in the matter. He
knows there is an abundance of time
before the election in November next
for the discussion of all political ques-
tions of moment and he does not wish
the campaign to commence too soon
and too vigorously.

That Scheme to Close Down Kentucky
Distilleries-Six Refuse.


LOUISVILLE, KY, June a7.-Reports
received in this city Friday show that
the movement to secure shutdown
of the distilleries of the state for pc
riod of IS months-from July 1, 1896, to
January l, 1S9S-will be overwhelm-
ingly successful.
Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at
the Union national bank, the commit
tee on allotment and the committee on
solicitat ation will meet and formulate re-
ports for the benefit of the distillers of
the state, for such of the pu bile as may
be interested in the matter of distillery
suspension.
Their reports will show that all but
six of the distillers of Kentucky have
signed the agreement to shut down for
Is months. These six are holding out
because they have not, as they think,
received proper recognition at the
hands of the committee of allotment.
