FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Mrs. D. w. Ham Injured by the Cars
at the East End of the Rail-
road Bridge.

tooN DAtNoSs
Saturday morning at z o'clock Mrs
Daniel Webster Ham was seriously
injured by the T. & o. G. e. yard en-
gine at the switch stand near the
Phoenix Mill.
Mrs. Ham was on her way to the
Union Depot where she expected to
leave on the T. & O. c. E. passenger
train to spend Sunday with Mr..
Hams parents at Utley.
The T. & o. G. E. yard engine with
Conductor Adam Smith in charge, had
placed a freight car on the c. G M.
track and had pulled back up to the
switch to go down on the main track.
Mrs. Ham was coming eact on the
bridge and it is supposed she became
confused. She stepped from the side
walk to the middle of the track. Mr..
Smith, the conductor, was on top OF
the car and shouted to her. She start
ed to run and tripped on the ties and
fell. With wonderful presence of
mind she rolled herself to the side OF
the track. When the car caught her
she lay between the guard-rail and
the track, face down with her right
arm and right leg on the rail The
two wheels OF the first truck passed
| over her, frightfully mangling hel
arm above the elbow and her right leg
above the knee. Her hip was also
badly bruised.
Henry Gilpin, the brakeman, saw
her fall and ran to her, pulling her on,
before the second truck ran over her
Mrs. Ham was carried to DR.. viii.
| lis Office and from there taken to heI
home near the turn table, on the West
Side, were medical attendance was
given her.
No blame is attached to the railroad
| or the crew. The train was stopped
within Is feet from where the acci-
dent happened.
Mrs. Ham was married about three
years ago at Utley. She with her hus-
band moved to this city about three
months ago. Mr.. Ham is employed
on the T. & o. G. +. freight train. He
was telegraphed to and caught al
Fleming.
AT last accounts Mrs. Ham was
resting as comfortable as could be ex-
pected and it is thought that amputa-
tion VII not be necessary.

Little Additional Light Thrown on

Navy Department Will Send Another War
ship to Havana -Uneventful Sessions
Of Senate and House President
in Philadelphia.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Several reports
came by telegraph to the state and navy
departments today from Havana. These
messages do not throw any light on the
cause of the disaster, and In fact the
officers of the navy department have
about resigned themselves to the belief
that nothing definite or certain can be
known for several days to come, as the
operations of the divers upon the wreck
are being confined to the recovery of
the bodies of the dead and the recovery
of valuables, neither of which can be
neglected, while the other branch of the
work, namely the investigation OF the
cause of the disaster, may be more
properly left to the conduct of the court
of inquiry.
General Lees dispatch said: ''There
is great need of divers to get the effects
and bodies from the wreck. Two are
now employed, but IL or Is could be
used. One hundred and forty-three
bodies have been buried. One hundred
are supposed to be confined to the
ship"
Acting Secretary Day made the fol-
lowing answer: Have called on the
navy department with your request for
divers. Same will be complied with"
Contracts are now being drawn with
the wrecking companies. The navy de-
partment has not yet determined de-
finitely which of our warships shall re-
place the Maine in Havana harbor, al
though it has determined that another
ship must be sent there.

Special Correspondence.
White Oaks. Feb. 19.-W. II. Weed,
for i years one of the leading mer-
chants of White Oaks, but who retired
from business about two years ago, has
Just returned from business trip to
Old Mexico. Last fall he outftted two
men and sent them down there on a
prospecting trip. Two placer claims
and lead claim were secured by them
near Topolobampo, which promised
something wonderful in the way of yell
low metal. Mr.. Weed comes back APP
parently elated over the find. Import
ant mining interests around White Oaks
caused his return.
The Old Abe mine took on an .s1di-
tonal force of men last week and is now
taking out ore sufficient to keep the
stamps dropping as in the days before
the shaft fell in. The company intends
to put up a cyanide plant in connection
with their mill at an early day.
The South Homestake has been thor
oughly prospected during the past two
months, under the supervision of Geo.
l.. Ulrich AMI David Tinnin with very
surprising results, and rumor has it that
this old time producer will 60 into the
hands of eastern parties on the 1st of
March and will be worked for all there
is in it, The large bin and many of the
drifts are about full of high grade ore
ready for the crusher. Long before the
early mosquito hen matches her first
brood of spring songsters, the regular
shipment of bullion out of White Oaks
to the Denver mint will begin.
Over in Nogal camp prospecting has
been greatly stimulated by the indica-
tions of an early completion of the El
Paso & Northeastern railroad into the
heart Of Lincoln county. One of the
best finds of free gold in the camp was
made about week ago near Nogal
Peak by Emmcrson and May. 1t lies
directly in the mineral belt between the
American mine, at the head of the dry
gulch. and the Parsons mine on the
Bonito. Lower down on the Bonito
Mr. A. N. Price has developed magni-
| iicent lode, showing both native and
horn silver in large body. More will
be said of this comparatively undevcl-
oped belt in the future.
| But White Oaks is not given up solely
to mining and other industries, but has
a social environment of as refined intelli-
gence and as progressive as you will find
anywhere in the territory. The high
| intelligence and moral standard Of the
miners in this camp is a surprise and
wonder to all who come here.
About 100 invited guests attended the
