UnfailiDe Method to Identify Grim


The Bertillion sy stem Of Identification
is being introduced into the prisons OF
New York state. The 5000 convicts
now in the ten penal institutions of the
state are being subjected to the various
measurements, and hereafter it will bs
practically impossible for sDy man to
be rearrested without his identity being
known. The measurements include,
among other points. tie length OF the
ear. the distance from the wrist TO the
elbow, the length of the thumb and
other parts OF the body. Twelve meas
urements will be taken OF each man.
While more could be taken without diff
Guilty, a less nun Der would, IN most H.
stances. be enough for Identification.
From observation OF the differences IN
the measurement of cssee. authorities
on the subject have computed that tina
chspce that two men will present the
same figures in twelve measurements
ls to 1900, 100000 Under the new
system, with all the records kept in one
Office, there can be no failure to detect
any old offender whenever he comes in
for another term. Every card bearing
a mans record will be kept in separ-
ate compartment, and il there comes q
duplicate in the figures, it will be known
at once that the individual has been al
before, and his former prison record
will be investigated. The result will be
that many old offenders will ssrye
double terms.-St. Louis Globe Demo-

An interesting and possibly important
discovery was made at the last Swiss
federal rifle meeting. 1t was noticed
that the steel clad bullets became mag
netic through the proximity of several
te!egrGphic cables running near the
range. The result was that the bullets
went wide of the mark, divergiug ao-
cordiDQ to the side from which they
were fired. After this was fully sscer-
tanned, experiments were made with ar
tillery at 5000 yards. the targets having
been placed within forty yards OF an
electric battery. Forty shots were fired,
and the divergence YRs not less than
fourteen degrees. It's suggested that
an army supplied with dynamos on their

haps all army rifles as now constructed
will have to be condemned.

Baker and Hawkins could do nothing
under the circumstances. a decision
was handed down, however, affirming
the judgment of the lower court IN :he

years. The act has been pronounced
unconstitutional by number OF law

established it's sufficlency. IL Rogers is
hanged it will be the first execution
known for train robbery, wherein no
homicide occurred. The date of the
execution must now be reset by Judge
Rouse aud the place Of execution must
be Florence.
The robbery for which Rogers is to
suffer death occurred but a few miles

The sale of tie extensive group of
copper mines, smelling plant and other
| buildings situated at Rosemont, this
county, was coDsumeted today and the
we'll known firm of Lewisohn Brothers

clades all the possessions Of the former
RosemoDt Mining and Smelling COM
pany, one OF the best copper mining
propositions 10 Arizona.
The sale Is of thu greatest importance
to Tucson and Pima county since the
purchase by the Lewisohn Brothers,
means active resumption of mining and
smelling snd consequent valuable
increase OF trade, Tucson being the
nstural financial centre and bese of
supplies. That so powerful and ex-
perlenced a firm have become identified
with the mining industries of this Sec
zion is cause for generalization especial
ly since the active resumption of work
will give employment to mary miners
and smelter men and thus add material
ly to the general prosperity.
The firm is identified with other por-
ties Of our territory, being the owners
OF the famous Ole Domioion group of
mines situated 10 Globe, ella county.
The sale WAS inaue urated and COM

Mr.. J. V. Scrivener is in the city from
the "Grubsteke" mine, which is located
about eight miles south Of Orc Blanco.
This is o5e Of tbs few prospects which
hss paid its own way from the begin.
ming. The workings so far consist of In
open cut 60 feet long and 80 feet tun-
mel. In working the claim about $3.50
in gold have been washed out, and about
$500 worth of the dirt sold. In addi-
ton there are between so and 20 tons
of $40 ore now on the dump.
The gold is found IN clsyey gouge
and is easily handled by the very simple
process of banning. There is no doubt
but extent, richness and easy handling
OF this claim will bring it to the front as
one of the most valuable properties in
the territory.
