Indians Building An Airship.

A dispatch from Phoenix, Arizona,
says that the airship craze has invaded
the Pima Indian reservation. After
> big pow WOW, which lasted many
days, the young men Of the tribe set
to work early last week, under the
direction Of two of the chief medicine
men, to construct an aerial navigation
ship from . msdel found in one Of
the illustrated weekly papers that
reaches the reservation. Work has
progressed to the point where the
thing has assumed definite shape and
design.
The ship is a canoe shaped affair,
and the propeller is huge revolving
wheel, very much like that which ap-
pears in the illustrations of most Of
the standard airships.
Charles Barnett, who arrived yes
terday from the reservation, says the
Indians will surely attempt TO launch
their continuance from the highest
perpendicular bluff of the Pima ressr-
walton.

ROBINsoNs COPPER MINES.
ORES or THE DISTRICT TO BE
TESTED By THE LEACHING
PROCESS.

Hon. Thos. Wren Discovers u New
Prscipitmnt for Copper fn Solution.
Within the last few weeks it has
been discovered that Robinson dis
trict possesses what Professor Dana
says exists in only fv. ether places
on the earth, namely of a cop
per mine, where the copper is held In
solution in water. and is obtains cd
by process of precipitation. The
Josie mine, situated in West Camp.
is one of this class, the water carry
ing as high as Is per cent. of copper,
and iron hoops and small craps of
iron, when allowed to remain in the
water any length of time, are, when
removed thickly overlaid with pure
copper.
1t is a curious fact that in nearly
every instance, where the water in
mines of this class, was found to hold
copper in solution in paying quantities
the discovery was purely accidental,
and was made known frem the fact that
pieces of iron, which BY some means
found their way into the water, were,
when taken out, either thickly coated
with pure metallic copper, or if left in
the water sufficient length of time,
found to be solid mass of copper, the
iron having passed of into the LIQUID.
1t is well established fact that
copper held in solution in water can
be easily obtained by using iron as
prscipitant, but as the precipitation
OF copper in solution with iron is COM
parativsly slow and in many instances
quits costly, more active and less
expensive precipitant was much in
demsrid. But the Hon. Thos. Wren,
iAss OF Eureka, but new of Reno, Ne

Freight Coming In Slowly.

Some of the freight teams, which
had been engaged to haul freight from
Eureka to Robinson, struck last Sun
day and refused to load unless all in
crease in price for hauling was guar
antsed.
Tho Chairman Co., and the Eureka
q Palisade r r. Co., had heretofore
entered into an agreement by tho
terms of which the Railroad Co., was
to lay the freight down at the mines
in Robinson, for 1914 Per ton; OF this
amount the Railroad company was to
get SO, and the freightsrs from Euro
ka to Robinson were to get S15 per
ton. This the freighters claim is in
sufficient, compared with the amount
the Railroad Co., is & sitting, and re-
fuse to haul unless there is All incr ase
over the present rate.
There are now over 500 tons of
freight at Eureka belonging to the
Chairman Mining Co. and operations
at the micc are considerably hampered
and delayed 1t Looks like case of
"squeeze' on lac part of the freight
ers, but whether they will succeed
in raising the price of hauling, over
the pres mt rate remains to DO seen.

vada, seems to have Solved this prob
lem beyond . doubt. Mr.. Wren has
made this question study, and after
repeated and numerous experiments
with different substances, has discov-
cred that copper in solution in water
can be readily thrown down with
alkali. Alkali will prscipitats the
copper at once, while iron requires
from "a hours to several months-de-
pending upon the amount or mass of
iron used.
All copper ore in the form of sui
phate is subject to the teaching process,
and if alkali, as a precipitant for cop
per in solution, will do all that il
claimed for it, there il worlds of ore
in this (Robinson) district that ia
suscsptable of being treated by this
process, and without doubt millions
in it for the parties who have the
energy and means to put the process
in operation.
Mr. Frank Paul, on behalf Of Mr..
Wren, is now in Robinson, making
preparations to make practical test
of the teaching procsss-using alkali
as precipitant-with tho ores in thi,
district, on larger scale than has
heretofore been made. The result OF
the experiment is being watched with
much interest.

PROBABLY MURDERED.


The body of Nora Ahsrn, who for
the past 20 years has resided at Eber-
hardt, . deserted mining camp near
Hamilton, was found in the foot hills
about mile and one-half from her
cabin on the 31st., ult., in = bruised
and mangled condition.
Nora had last been seen alive en-
the morning of the Goth, when, to-
gether with Frsnchman, who for
the past 20 years had been her con-
slant companion, started out to find
some cattle, which had been reported
dead in tho hills not far from Ebsr-
hardt. After accompanying her some
distant from the house, the Frenchman
returned leaving Nora, who was over
sixty years of age, to complete the
search alone. This was the last seen
of Nora until the finding of her re-
mains, disfgnred, and in a state of
decomposition, 5 days afterwards.
Private advices lsceived here say
that the Coronsrs' Jury viewed the
body and found that she was murder
ed beyond doubt. But the manner
in which sho met her death is, up to
tho time of going to press, yelled in
darkness.

all in their power to unravel tho mys-
terry, and We hope to give full parti-
culars in our next issue.

New Line of Clipper Ships.

AS result of the improved feeling in
general business and shipping circles a
new line of clipper ships, to ply from
Philadelphia to the Paci fc coast and the
Hawaiian Islands, has be en- established by
the Atlantic and Pacific Transportation
Co. of New York. The new service will
be known as the Argonaut Line, and the
pioneer vessel will be the ship Iroquois,
which was towed to this port from New
York to load for San Francisco. She will
take out 1000 tons of general cargo, the
balance of the room being given to con-
tractors who are to supply the Pacific
coast with anthracite and smithing coal
The ships Indiana and Reaper will follow
the Iroquois for San Francisco. The ship
Tacoma, now at this port discharging a
cargo of hemp from the PHILIPPINE Is
lands, will load on the same line
for Portland, Oregon, and ships not
yet named will load for Honolulu in a
few months or as soon as the line gets
into working shape Large contracts for
the transportation of machinery, steel
rails and other railroad equipments have
been made by the promoters of the new
enterprise, and there is enquiry from
many sources by manufacturers for cheap
freights to the Pacific. The Atlantic and
Pacific Transportation Co. is managed
jointly by Philadelphia and New York
business men. The president of the COM
pany is Frank F. Landstreet of New York !;
treasurer, F. B. Lott of this city; general
manager, Fl. D. Walls of New York. The
terminal managers in this city will be C.
M. Taylor Sons. The vessels will load

of their countrymen aud to the spirit of
patriotism. Captain King, who is known
in military circles as Brigadier- General
King, can write stirringly about his coun-
try because he has fought for his country,
and he can describe army life because it
has been his own life. Born in Albany in
1874, he began his career in 1856 as marker
of the First Regiment Wisconsin State
Militia. After his graduation at West
Point, he had extensive experience in the
field on the plains. For many years he
has been writing stories of the army, and
those who are in position to know say
that he represents it, not only with inter-
est and vivacity, but with truth as we'll.
Since his retirement from the regular
army in 1879, for disability resulting
from wounds received in line of duty, -
he has served in several military capaci-
ties, among them, as Adjutant- General OF
the Wisconsin National Guard, from which
he retired few months ago, and he has
been hard at work with his pen. His
latest work, corporal Fred's Commits
siop," which began serial publication in
Harper's Round Table of July 20, is de-
scribed as an exciting tale of a young
militiaman's adventures during the rail
road riots-a theme of great interest at
this time
