DEATH OF A CHRISTIAN GIRL. -
Miss Ella Youngblood died at o'clock
yesterday morning at 10 North Cali
fornia street. Miss Youngblood was a
| little more than twenty years of age.
Her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. NJ. Young
blood. reside at Republic, Mo. Their
| daughter came here about one year ago
suffering from consumption. Her con-
dition never improved and about two
weeks ago a rapid decline began. AS
| long ago as last Sunday it became evil
| dent that the end was near, and all
that her friends dared hope was that
her life might be prolonged until her
parents could come. A telegram was
sent to her father, who was expected
to arrive in the city last night. The
deceased was the most lovable of girls.
She had been a Christian from child
hood and until her health failed had
been an active worker in the NJ. F.
church and the Epworth League. Dur
ing her long illness she was patient and
the great pain of body she endured as
death approached was relieved by hope
and resignation.
CASTLE CREEK BOOMING. R. J.
H. Frye, who has just returned from
visit to the Castle Creek district, says
that mining has been stimulated in
that region by the introduction of new
capital and the splendid showing
made in various properties now pass
ing the first stage of development. The
holding of Roscoe and Young, which
made a splendid showing at the out
set, is now down 265 feet. At this
depth the shaft is still the surface for
nation, but deposits of good grade
stuff now and then are encountered. II
is not contemplated that the base will
be reached at a depth of less than 400
or 500 feet. Mining men of the Castle
Greek region are looking forward to
the erection OF a smelter by the Whip
saw people, as a means of attracting
further attention and directing new
capital in this direction. According to
present plans triangular smelter will
be put in, a new thing in the way of
smelters, but one which promises to
replace the ordinary furnace. The op-
to let a contract for the erection of
their smelter, but they have not de-
cided upon the capacity.
AN EXPERT DREDGERMAN. -.
William Frazee came down from the
Arizona dam last night laden with an
expert machinist who desired to leave
the country before the Arizona Water
company could recover from its sur
prise. This machinist was imported to
operate the big steam dredger. The
dredger had been worked in a very
satisfactory manner, but in or
der to run il successfully one must
have general familiarity with ma
chineTy and long and particular ex-
perience with dredgers. Successful
dredger superintendent are not merely
born. 1t would have been better for
the water company if this one had
been entirely overlooked and forgotten
in the general scheme of creation. He
arrived at the dam one day and sized
Up the machinery with a show of con-
fdence which at once enlisted respect.
Then he went to work in u manner
which filed the spectators with awe
ard made them think that ell previous
dredger men were feeble limitations OF
the real thing. His next move was
paralyZing and resulted in the snap
ping of the three huge iron cables
which control the shovel, like silken
threads. He surveyed the wreck
whistled low. smiled and cried
'-Whoopee." He put on his coat and
announced his immediate return to
New York. He left for the east last
night.

NTH, president, and s. w. Traylor,
travelling agent of the Colorado Iron
works, and j. p. Evans, also interested
in this company, who were in Phoenix
yesterday on their regular annual trip
to Arizona, left over the Santa Fe,
Prescott & Phoenix line last night to
visit the various mining regions of
northern Arizona. Like all the big
companies outputting heavy mining
machinery and smelters, the Colorado
Iron works has all the business it can
attend to. Nevertheless it is not re-
