Another Car Blown Up With Nitfe GlyeDD-
ine-A hoy Killed.
Cleveland, July 24.-Rioting broke
out afresh here tonight, and second
attempt to wreck n car was made.
A Pearl street car, speeding south,
near Holmdcn avenue, carrying beside
the motorman and conductor, guard,
successfully ran gauntlet of missiles
thrown from the roofs of houses, only
to run into Il can of nitro-glycerine,
which exploded with terrific force.
The rear platform was torn off and
the flooring wrenched from its fasten-
ings. The crew was not injured, but
emerged from the shattered ruins with
pistols drawn and began firing at what
they thought was couple of men
crouching as If to hide themselves be-
hind small bill board.
The explosion was the signal for re-
newing the attack from the housetops
and alleys. Troop A, hurrying on horse
back to the scene, was bombarded with
giant firecrackers. One of these ex-
ploded with such force that the mount
of one of the troopers was knocked
over, in his fall carrying with him two
other horses and their riders.
Several arrests were made. Pistol
shots We're frequently heard and one
man was slightly wounded in the arm.
The day failed to bring any relief to
the strike situation, which Is regard
ed as serious.
The State Board of Arbitration has
practically abandoned its efforts to con-
ciliate the strikers and their former
employers. The resentment of the con-
ductors and motormen who quit work
and the more turbulent spirit of their
sympathizers is held in check to a de-
gree by the presence of the police and
the militia.
Small riots occurred during the day
but with one exception they were
without serious results. In the death
of Henry Cornweit, slain by a bullet
fired by Ralph p. Hawley, q conduc-
tor on the Broadway line, is recorded
the first fatality of the strike.
Shortly after noon Hawley's car was
approaching Prange street and was be-
set by crowd of men and boys. Corn
welt, the 19-year-old son of n butcher,
was aStride n horse and rode to the
side of the car, keeping pace with 1t
for some distance.
Various stories are told as to what
passed between the conductor and the
boy, but the mob was suddenly called
to its senses by the sight of Hawley.
who jumped to the street and started
in pursuit of Cornweit
The latter, closely followed by his
pursuer. turned up Perry street At
Woodland avenue the latter pulled his
revolver aud fired. His victim fell,
with Il ghastly wound in the left tenn
pie and died soon after being removed
to the hospital.

El Paso Texas. July 24.-Mrs. Mat
tie G. II. Rich. charged with having
murdered her husband. John ID. Rich.
in Ciudad JuareZ. Mexico. two months
ago. was formally cxtradted this af
ternOon at I o'clock. and delivered into
the hands of the Mexican authorities
for trial.
She protested strongly against being
given into the possession of Mexico.
but became resigned when the extra
ditiOn warrant was read to her. She
wrapped her shoulders and head in an
American flag and entered the car
riage with the officers and was driven
rapidly across the river.
The ease of Mrs. Rich has attracted
wide attention. particularly along the
border, whose citizens have protested
loudly against the extrndition OF any
American citizen to Mexico. The fact
that In this ease the citizen Is n wom-
an has greatly intensified the objec-
tion TO the procedure.
The Mexican government has been
touched to the quick by the comments
on Its methods of dealing out justice
and barbnrous treatment of prisoners
and has provided Mrs. Rich with fine
quarters aud promises her n speedy
trial. President Diaz has ordered spe-
cial officials from the City of Mexico
to Ciudad Juarez to attend the case.

Grand Encampment Boom.

Great activity is reported in the
Grand Encampment mining district q.
the present time. The recent rich
strikes on Miner and Spring creeks
have attracted n large number of pros
pectors to that section.
The lead discovered by Mr.. Ledbet-
ter. a few days ago. is eighteen feet
wide and will run as rich in copper as
the Ferris-Haggerty mine. A number
of plants of mining machinery have
been purchased in Denver this season
and are now either being hauled to the
mines or being placed In position.
1t Is believed that before the close of
the season there will be twenty ship
ping copper mines in what is known
as the Grand Encampnrcnr district.

wounded and captured after fight
with sheriff's posse at Cimarron,
died this forenoon at the penitentiary

A rich brother of Ketcham, living ut

There are no new developments as to
the whereabouts of the Folsom train

statements made by w. III. Reno rs to
the fight and says further that the
third man who WAS not captured OF
wounded fired twenty-thrce shots in

Cripple Creek Notes.

The Cripple Greek district is TO have
vet another low grade mill. which
will probably be larger than any other
yet projected.
That portion of Bull hill between
Goldfield and Altman is the busiest
section of the entire district at pres
ent. An immense amount of work is
being done on old producers and vir-
gin ground and strikes are being made
every few days.
The Hoosier ore shoot has been en-
countered at greater depth, and from
present indications 1t is better and
richer than ever. The find demon
strates that the Hoosier is one Of the
richest mines in the camp and means
II fortune for III. J. Anstie, the lessee
ON the property.

Isabella Mining Company of Cripple

upon the Orphan Bell Company for ore
which 1t claims has been unlawfully

The claim of the Isabella Company

Lunt of the District Court, in the case
of the Ajax Gold Mining Company

THE CzAR'S DIRE WARNING.
Sweden Told That Russia's Cause Must
Not BE Criticised.

Chicago, July PA dispatch from
Stockholm to the Record says:
The Russian government has finally
concluded that 1t has heard from
Sweden and Norway as much criticism
of it's policy toward Finland as 1t
wants to. Russian Minister de But
zoff to-day notified Count Douglas,
Swedish and Norwegian foreign minis
ter that Russia would not permit Its
domestic administration to be publicly
criticised by any person holding public
office in either of the kingdoms with
out calling Sweden and Norway to ac-
count.
This peremptory warming causes the
utmost excitement in Stockholm
Previous to the Cars entering upon
his present course. which contemplates
the complete classification of the grand
duchy, the Swedish language was in
general use in Finland, and between
the Films and their Scandinavian
neighbors kindred customs and iden-
tity of religion had produced perna-
nent bonds of sympathy. 1t is there
fore most natural that Swedes and
Norwegians should strongly condemn
policy looking to the extinction of
Finnish independence.
For Sweden and Norway. however,
there is more in the Finnish situation
than an occasion for the expression of
sympathy. The classification of Fin
land, as / have already pointed out in
these dispatches, brings Russia to the
very threshold of Scandinavia. knowl-
edge of which fact has not sweetcncd
the tone of Scandinavian comment on
the ukasc practically abrogating the
Finnish constitution. Now the ques-
ton arises. Is the Car. In thus abrupt
ly serving notice on this nation that Its
public servants must keep their mouths
shut, paving the way for future ag-
gressions? The Gar has set up on his
shoulders n diplomatic chip. What will
happen, Swedish public men are ask
ing themselves. II some Scandinavian
government official is careless enough
to knock 1t off?

The Mining and Scientific Press Urges the

This is an age Of progress, and par
ticularly is 1t noticeable in the metal
lurgical field. The innovations in min
ing methods are more rare, for miners
as Il class are cOnservative-often too
much so. The methods employed CEN
tury-yes, several centuries-ago are in
many places still in use, and in certain
instances these methods are good
enough, but in others there is room fo!
Improvement. The Introduction Of a
higher class of machinery is a notice.

mining regions. First-class machinery
insures larger capacity, and this means
economy. No one will dispute the state.
ment that an engine capable of hoist
ing 1000 tons of ore in twentyfour
hours is Il more economical investment
than one which will raise but POO tons,
If the ore is there to hoist There Is
little use in putting IL large, first-class
plant on prospect or on Il mine in
which development cannot be made
which will permit the stopping of an
amount of ore somewhere near the ca
pacity of the hoist. Nor is it worth
while to put In n hoisting engine which
can develop a speed of 1000 feet per
minute or more when the shaft will not
admit of a greater speed than 200 feet.
For rapid hoisting the shaft must be
in first-class condition. and true
throughout. A change in the angle of
the shaft necessitates slowing down
when the cage or skip PASSES that
point. These facts demonstrate the ne
cessity of sinking the best shafts pos
sible. whether they be large or small,
al ha Of NJ ca
thoroughly that there shall always be
an abundance of ore available, that
hoists and mills may work to their
fullest capacity.
1t is much more economical and prof
table to open and work mine out in
n few years than to continue at it for
half n century or more. This idea can
not be followed out unless the work of
development be persistently carried far
ahead of the extraction of the ore. The
plan requires capital. and owners are
often unwilling to invest such large
sums when smaller amount will ac-
cOmplish the desired result Haste to
secure dividends is the great incentive.
and when the mine is profitable on n
comparatively small basis it can usu-
ally be made much more so on n broad
er plan of operation. If mine owners
anu operators would eXpenu some OF
their first dividends in putting the mine
in shape for large production they
would find it far more profitable than
to work in the small hand-to- mouth
fashion so commonly seen. An mex
pensive plant may be employed in
prospecting the mine and may even
pay profit. but if exploration can be
carried on more rapidly than the ex-
plotting of the mine, n time will be
reached sooner or later when larger
and more complete plant will be just
flied.
