INJURED BY A BLAST.

A premature blast, on the grade where the new hoisting works of the United Globe mines is to be erected, caused the serious injury of William Stewart, a miner, about o'clock yester day afternoon. A number of holes had been loaded, the fuse spit and lighted, and the workmen were leisurely leaving the grade when three sticks of powder inserted in crevice in the rock, ignited ny burning powder blown by the wind from a nearby fuse, suddenly exploded.
 Stewart was within eight feet of the crevice when the explosion took place, and that he was not worse hurt seems miraculous. As it was, the right side of his body from the crown of his head to his foot was punctured by innumere able small fragments of rock. There are upwards of 200 wounds, the most serious being on the right temple, which fractured the outer temporal bone, but is not considered dangerous by Dr. Collins, the attending physician. Stewards recovery is expected but his wounds will be quite painful for B time

At the end of the seventh inning. when it had been agreed to quit, the game was tie and another inning was played, the town nine being victorious by the score of 19 to IT.

CLOSED DOWN.
The Old Dominion Copper Company suspends Work Pending the Ccm-
 pietion of the Railroad to Globe.

Superintendent s. X. Parnall, of the Old Dominion Copper Mining & Smelling Company, received ihstruc- tions by wire from the Boston office, on Saturday last, to shut down the works, both mino and shelter, and the order weu carried into effect Tues day night. Work in the mine, with the exception of the shaft, ceased at the o'clock shift and the furnace was blown out at II o'clock. The shaft crew Is retained, together with the engineers and iiremen at the mine and @ few other men who will be needed, perhaps 25 in all. About 200 men were thrown out of work by the shut down.
 Although rumors had been rife for several weeks that the company con- templated closing down, the reports were given little credence here, and the order wac not expected even by Mir. Parnall, who Is much disappointed at the turn affairs have taken. The increase of work in every department during the past few months, and the fact that the management had over come difficulties aud had got the prop erty into excellent shape for the pro- duction of copper, seemed to preclude a shut down; aud further, the large quantities of coke, coal and wood ac- cumulated encouraged the belief that the company looked forward to busy sesson.
 The reason for discontinuing opera tions has not been divulged, but we feel warranted in stating that it has been done in order to coerce Mir Gar land, president of the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railroad (who also has the wagon freight contractl to ex- tend the railroad to Globe. This move on the part of the copper company was predicted by the Boston Herald more than month ago, and We lately received confirmation of the rumor by letter from the east. We have no doubt whatever but that this discloses the true situation.
 If so, we must conclude that the shut-down will be protracted-proba- bly, for six months or even longer, un- less the copper company should alter their present determination.
 We make this statement uureserv- edly, believing it ie best to give the facts rather than to encourage false hopes in the many who are concerned to know the truth of the matter.
 When the Old Dominion Copper Company starts up again the railroad will either have been completed to Globe or construction will have ad- vanced so far as to insure its comple- ton; and it will be under altered con ditions, with an improved plant and increased capacity for producing cop per. The company has one of the best copper mines in the territory, which has improved greatly under Mr. Par nalps management, and with increased facilities for handling and smelling the ore, the Old Dominion will become one of the largest producers of copper in Arizona.

Hauntodi

Tee human tenement is often haunted-to the grleyous discomfor. of it's possessor-by those malignant spirits. constipation and bil. iounncss. But the aborninabie pair may be speedily driven out with the potent help of Hos;etter's Stomach Bitters. This genial alternative while 1t relieves the bowels and regulates the liver, never, as a drastic pur. gative does, produces violent effects and weakens the intentines. On the contrary, the action of the BitterS Is precisely analogous to an effort Of nature seeking to resume her proper functions This furnishes pretty con elusive evidence that 1t Is better to use per suasive means, so to speak, than to endeavor to coerce nature to a return to duty. Violent remedies produce only a temporary effect, followed by hurtful reaction. For indiges- tion. malarial and kidney complaints, rheuma- tlsm and nervousness the Btters takes highest rank among remedies of the philosophic school

Rumors to the effect that the United Globe Mines would close down are without foundation. Superintendent E. H. Cook informed US thai work will continue without interruption.

The new hoist will be here within a month and the work of sinking and opening levels will pro- ceed as rapidly as practicable.

The claims were originally owned by Mahew, Stiles and Ulloa, who bonded them for S50,- 900 to these gentlemen. A shaft has been sunk about 100 feet and the de- velopment of the claims shows the property to be valuable one. A smelter is now being built and test run will be made in short time.

The belief seems to be general that construction work on the Gila Valley, Globe and Northern railroad will begin at Geronimo at an early date. Mr. Jones, cashier Of the railroad company says work will be started within three weeks. However, it is not probable that anything will be done under six week as the right-ofway has yet to be arranged and the agreement approved by the Interior department before the construction force will he permitted to enter the reservation. It is understood that the consent of the Indians has been obtained, subject to the payment of $10,000 indemnity to them by the railroad company. The adjustment of the matter is left with Capt. Myer, agent at San Carlos, and it is hoped there will be no serious hitch in the negotiation. If work is begun by June the railroad should be completed 10 Globe before the close of the year.
