THE TUNNEL DISASTER.

Foreman Matthews and roadmaSter
Lyons. two of the men who We're
caught in the tunnel disaster near Ash
Fork Monday night have died from
their injuries.
The fire in the tunnel has been eXtin-
guished but it will probably not be us
ed as a tunnel any longer. y track
will be built around the place and the
tunnel blown up.
Last night Assistant General Man
ager Wells issued an order from Pres
colt stating that owing to the block
ade on the main line of the Santa Fe
Pacific at the tunnel all east bound
perishable freight would be handled
over the S. F. 2. q 2. and transferred
at Phoenix for Maricopa, thence over
the Southern Pacific for Deming Mr.
Wells notified the Maricopa and Phoe-
nix that he would furnish the line
with engines and crews to run the
freight over if necessary.
Several car loads of perishable
freight arrived last night which were
iced here and will be sent over the NJ.
& p
All freight from the east will be
transferred at Deming for the South
ern Pacific and will go north over the
S. f. L. & Z. Trains will be running
every day through Phoenix for IA week

COTTON MILLS .,CLOSE.
Complete Shut Down of New
Bedford Mills.
CUT IN WAGES THE CAUSE.
Nine Thousand Employees Are Out
of Work as Result of
the Strike.

New Bedford, Mass, Jan. IA
shut down, the most complete in ths
history of New Bedford, began thi:
morning. Not a spindle was turning
nor loom in motion in the factory OF
the Cloth Corporations an hour after
the usual time of beginning work
Between forty and fifty operatives
went into Bristol mill and % or 80 in
to the Whitman, but aside from these
no mill made any show of running
and these two soon shut down. Nine
corporations operating eight mills in
which upwards of nine thousand hands
are employed, are involved in the
strike. The cut is uniform all over
the city at ten per cent The total pay
roll of these corporations is estimated
at $4,000 weekly.
Boston. Mass, JAN lin conform
ity with the decision of the associa-
ton of the New England cotton manu-
facturerS the wage reduction of ten
per cent goes into effect today in the
mills of New Hampshire. Rhode Is
land and Maine. This completes what
is practically Il universal cut of ten
per cent in the wages of all the cot
ton mill operatives of New England,
affecting altogether something like
10000 people. In New Bedford and
Importance, the operatives have decid-
ed to strike rather than submit to a
reduction, which the operators them
selves look upon and regard as perma-
nent rather than temporary, but it re-
mains to be seen whether this example
will be generally followed. New Bed
ford, on account of the strength there
of both the employers and the employ
ed and the fact that the latter We're
the first in New England to exhibit
signs of diSaffection. is regarded as
the key of the situation, and upon the
degree of success attending the reSiS-
lance inaugurated in that city today
will depend the matter of broadening
and extending the strike to all other
mill towns in Massachusetts, as well
as Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode
Island The New Bedford Spinners
are backed by the New England union
in the stand they have taken and in
the event of Il prolongued struggle
will have the moral and financial sup
port of all labor organizations in the
country. The union hopes that in
case the New Bedford operatives put
up strong fight. the big manufactur-
ers of Lowell, Lewiston, Fall River
and other centerS will reconsider
their action in reducing wages rather
than face a similar struggle. On the
other hand, it is considered possible
that the manufacturers would well
come a suspension of operations for
the time being in view of the fact that
their warehouses are now filed with
cotton goods that cannot be sold at a
profit. As the owners insist that moth
il but an advance in the market will
enable them to pay the wages hereto
fore paid, and as there are no indica-
tons of such an advance in the face
Of the big output of the southern mills
the outlook for an amicable settlement
is not encouraging.

PEACEFULLY SETTLED.
Ell one Troubles of the Arizona
Canal.
Beth the Canal and Improvement
Companies.

The Arizona Canal and the Improve
ment companies squabble has been
| settled and the white dove hovers Sc
| renely over all. The bondholders are
| happy and the Glendale farmers are
enthusiastically so, for they have been
conceded all they asked. The amend
ed complaints filed by the Merchants
Loan & Trust Company have been dis
missed and the Glendale suit is also
out of court. In fact the endless lit
! igation promised has been brought to
a sudden but happy termination.
This was precipitated by the arriv-
al here of w. W. Miller, secretary of
the bondhOlderS committee. Mr.. Mil
Ter soon found out the status of the
case and after looking over the field
he came to the conclusion Ina, it would
be better for all concerned If Mr.. Hall,
who was appointed receiver, was al
lowed to take tn. Dr. Eagement of the
canal. Then, tTo.-i.e was not long in
as6ertaiDing the hiqr s>Szd1tling in the
community of All- sTeN ar0Ig The
business men and Tie farm. rs, and
that Il better choice of receiver could
not have been made
Yesterday afternoon after a confer
ence had been held whereupon it was
agreed to cease al litigation, and to
allow Mr. Hall to assume the manage
ment of affairs, Mr.. Miller and Mr.
Hall went to Judge Street and applied
for an order for the issuance ofS21, 900
receivers certificates for the purpose
of discharging all obligatio in the
way of back salaries which amounted
to about $1,000 the remaining $4,000
to be devoted towards repairing the
canal. The Court at once ordered an
authOriZat ton for the receiver to Dor
row the sum and issue certificates
which shall constitute a first lien.
The sum will be advanced by the bond
holders committee at 6 per cent.
The bond of Mr.. Hall as receiver of
the Improvement Company has been
filed but he will not take charge of
the Improvement Company affairs I'M
til he gets an order from the Court.
Mr.. Hall was asked by a HERALD
representative this afternoon as to
what his first action would be in re-
gard to the canal, and he replied that
the first move would be in the dirct-
ion of making urgent improvements
on the canal which would be begun
within the month, as soon as the mon
cy arrives from the east. An engineer
has already been over the canal but |
he will not make his report for a |
couple of days when will be shown the |
actual amount necessary to place the |
water way in good condition.
IN regard to the clerical force Mr.. |
Hall said that he would not make any |
changes yet awhile, or may not make |
any. The force is small as it is, and |
no changes will be made unless neceS-
sary.
My idea in this matter" said Mr.
Hall, lis to get to work at once and
put everything in shape. l do not want |
to hold the receivership any longer

)ther business to receive my attention
out l will discharge my obligation as
pest | can and with the object of Civ

ity. Mr.. Dingley hurried to the res
cue. Great excitement prevailed The
speaker entered the hall while Mr..
Dingley appealed to his side of the
house to disregard all Of their per
sonal inclinations toward >sSe amend

ply to Mr.. Dingley Mr.. Dearmond
urged the members to free the House
for single hour from dominion so
absolute that members could not get
consideration for nothing except after
those in authority had approved it,

was not in order, and Colson, republi-
can of Kentucky, followed in a vigor-
Gus speech, arraigning the committee
on foreign affairs. and his representa-
tives associates fordelay on the Cuban
question. He warned the republicans
that the people would hold them ac-
countable for the delay. He declared
that if something were not done, he
would be one to join the most revolu-
tactics on the floor to bring the
Cuban question to a hearing. On mo-
ton to close the debate on appeal, the

stated that the Johnson tunnel, eleven
miles east of Ash Fork. had caved in

made alarming Roadway. The section

sent to the scene and despite the dense
clouds of smoke and the raging flames

tunnel to battle with the fire

gagged in the work of eXtinguishing the
fire the tunnel near the center caved
in and buried the men under tons of
earth and rock.

RICH STRIKE IN COLORADO.

So much excitement has been Great
ed by the KlOndyke discoveries during
the past year that but little attention
has been given to some of the richest
strikes in the history of mining, made
in Colorado during the past month.
Among these, that in the old Topeka
mine, in the Central City district, is
the most marvellous. \ streak of white
quartz has been encountered, which
assays $4,000 in gold to the ton. The
Topeka mine is one of those on the
line of the United States tunnel. and
proves beyond Il doubt the eXpectat-
ton of the tunnel managers that the
ore at Il considerable depth below the
surface will be many times richer than
that on the bare earth. There is no
business so fascinating as mining, on
account of the almost limitleSs posi-
bilities for profit, and therefor it will
be probably but Il very short time be-
fore the entire number of shares of
the United States Tunnel Company of
fered to the public will be eagerly sub
scribed for. This company intends
supplying much needed facilities for
an entire mining district, one of the
ri hcestin the world: also to work fif
teen rich mines it has acquired by
purchase.
