into a baby carriage standing on the
sidewalk without seriously iniuring
herself or child that was asleep 40 the
carriage. 1t was q miraculous escape,
and were it not for alsree bnmR on
sophie's forehead and the broken
springs of the baby carriage the score
or more eyewitnesses would ind dlm'
cul in. having their accounts OF the
accident believed. Sophie, a slip OF q
girl with blue eyes and blonde curls, is
one Of six children OF Julius and Dora
Kennedy. To the fact that IL "as
moving day for the family Is attributed
sophie's fall. She perched herself on
the FIRE escape on the third dor Oh
Chsrrv street to, watch the moving.
Directly beneath the fire escape was
a baby carriage 10 which Henry Ru6ens,
two wears old, was taking nap IN front
OF bis fathers butcher shop. Mrs hu-
hans was sitting in the doorway of the
butchers shop with 8 baby 10 her arms.
Suddenly there was whirr 10 the air
and Sophie Kennedy pumped into the
carriage. she rebounded and fell to the
sidewalk. Baby Rubens was tossed In
the air and landed on the top OF sophie
az she Law stunned on the pavemen;.
Mrs. Rubens thought her boy was kill
ed and. Mrs. Kennedy, was sure her
child was fatally injured, but both
mothers we're treasured when the two
children set up loud cry. They were
badly frightened but the only injury
was bruise on Sophie Kennedy's head.

IN THE FIELD OF MINING
What is Going on in the Line of
Recent Sales, Discoveries
and Development.
The Mineral zOns Of This Particular Sec
ton of Arizona and its Rapid
Advancement.

The Verde Queen Copper company of
Jerome started up its smelter yester-
dayday and is having a very success
full run. The company has several
thousand tons of ore out and if the
coke supply for their smelter can be
kept they look forward to a continuous
run for a number of months.
The mill of the Penn Gold Mining
company on Lynx creek, which was
started Il little over a month ago,is hay
ing a most successful run. 1t has a
capacity of about thirty tons of ore
per day. The ore is all concentrated
by use of Whitley tables, no plates be-
ing used. and from six to seven tons
are run into one. The fifth car load of
concentrates was shipped today. Elk
cellent results are being obtained in
working the ore, as the taiIings give
very small value. by being assayed.
Water is obtained from the mine and
Mr. Haskell, who is general manager
of the property, says that they have
Il sufficient quantity to run another
mill of the same capacity, and if with
further development the ore gives
promise of holding out in equal guam
tity in proportion to that now in the
mine, the capacity of the mill will be
doubled.

AN UNSELFISH PAPER.

one Arizona newspaper makes loud
kick because some other paper clips

ion without giving credit. Unless one
applies for COPYRIGHT it is difficult
to get a corner on ideas, and were
records kept we would soon conclude
there is nothing new under the sun -
The Enterprise is not built on the self

Of the paper that our neighbors care
to appropriate is at their disposal. If
you do not care to father the sentiment
expressed vet desire to publish the
article. then we will not object to re
ceiving credit But during the political
season when the editors of some of

they have little time to verify reports
or assert news. Help yourselves. boys,
to anything you want from the Enter
prise-Phenix Enterprise.
The clipping-without credit-busi-
ness is all right if the item should hap
pen to stop at the first clipping. 1t
is a sourse of considerable self congrat-
ulation to see a brilliant diffusion of
ones brain published by another paper
without credit. In fact, it is one of the
highest compliments. But to after

LOOTED THE CHARLESTON.

During the last voyage of the cruiser
Churruca from Aparri. according to the
Manila Freedom. the steamer touched
at the island where the Charleston
was rocked. Several Americans went
and in the houses of the natives found
the searchlight of the cruiser and nu-
merous other articles. including a case
of surgical instruments. the property
of the Charleston medical officer
\ short time after the wreck the eX-
petition failed to find anything of the
vessel. and the suppOsition was that
she had sunk in deep water The
theory is advanced by those responsible
for the latest discoveries that the ma
tives contrived to cut off the masts of
the cruiser below the point submerged
thereby hiding the hull from the gov
eminent, and saving the work of
salvage for their own time. The hull
of the Charleston is barely submerged
at low tide. and would be easily ac-
cessible, and there is no doubt that ma
tives have been busy at work on her
since the wreck last September

A BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
Desperate Convicts in the Territorial
Prison Attempt to Escape from
That Institution.

The officers of the territorial prison
had lively time with unruly prison
ers last Monday and Tuesday, but by
prompt action prevented five bad men
from gaining their liberty.
About the noon hour on Monday two
men. who were confined in the new
cells recently built in 4 small addition
to the main yard, sawed the bars of
their cell door and succeeded in seal
ing the south wall Of the enclosure
before they We're observed by the
guards on the walls of the main yard.
The escapes started south along the
levee out of Winchester range. AS
soon as the fugitives were discovered
the guards gave chase, shooting as
they ran, but the fleeing prisoners
knew they We're out of range and only
quickened their pace, the guards fol-
lowing as fast as possible. Near the
south end of the levee the convicts
were fortunate enough to find n bun
die of citizens clothing lying directly
in their path. They speedily appro-
priated a couple of pair of trousers
and two shirts. despite the vigorous
protests of the owners, two Mexicans
cho were bathing in the laguna.
The fugitives were in such a hurry
that they did not even take time to
leave their striped clothes for the ac
commodation and protection of their
unwilling benefactors. In the ex4
element of the chase the predicament
of the MeXicanS was lost sight of and
they were compelled to remain in the
water for several hours. Their per-
sistent cries for help, however, We're
finally heard by people living in that
neighborhood and sufficient clothing to
admit their appearance on earth again
was furnished
One of the fugitiYes was soon oyer
taken and brought back TO prison,
but the other is still at large.
Early Tuesday morning another
was AOuA hGSpCld'N
men escaped. but were soon brought
back The men were unruly char
acters and were kept in close confine-
ment in the new addition to the yard,
where, owing to the secureness of
the cells, they We're considered safe
without guards. When Guard J. c.
Stephens entered the cell to attend
to the wants of a sick prisoner the
four desperate men seized him and,
taking the keys from him. locked
him in their cell with the sick prisoner.
Then they made a swift run for lib
erty. but Winchester bullets flew so
thick and fast in their direction that
they soon gave it up as a bad job and
returned to the prison without re-
sistance.-Yuma Sun.
