by the United States in heartily co-operat-

most favorable impression.

The attitude assumed by the morning
papers toward the propositions of the
viceroys of China is decidedly unsympa-
thetic. The Figaro expresses establishment
at the conditions the powers are asked to
accept and says that although the time Is
unpropitious for a thorough discussion of
all the articles 1t has no hesitation in say
ing that there is no chance that they will
be accepted. THE viceroys who thus thrust
themselves forward" continues the Figaro,
doubtless wish 70 throw the European
concert into confusion in accordance with
precedents of Chinese diplomacy, n If
perchance they succeed the imperial gov
eminent would so declare that they were
without instructions and unauthorized to
enter into direct relations with the powers.
The situation in the interior and the north
of China is too seriously troubled for the
propositions to be made the basis of serious
negotiations
lie Journal is also suspicious and says
that there may be good things in the propo-
sition, but adds they may perhaps hide
traps full of danger.

A FATAL ACCIDENT
Took Away BY Violence The
Life of the Patriarch IF
Seventy Four
Years.

Asahel Smith. affectionately known
Paso. as Grandpa" Smith, is dead al
the ripe age of seventy-four years
and his funeral from the First Meth
odist church on Myrtle street at 3:15
O'Clock this afternoon was one of the
largest ever held in this city.
For Grandpa" Smith, in spite of his
years, was hale and hearty and every
moment of time at his disposal was
expended in trying to make young peo-
pie happy. He was passionately fond
of children and was a prime favorite
with them all, and whenever he ap-
peared on the streets he was usually
accompanied by half dozen rollick-
ing youngsters who took all kinds of
liberties with him and thought there
was nobody like Grandpa"
Grandpa was generous to a fault,
and had been so all his life. Hence
he never accumulated any property
although he made a good deal of mon
ey in his younger days. During his
residence in this city, he put whatever
money he got from his pension or
other sources where he thought it
would do the most good to human be-
ings who needed it, as he used to say,
more than he did himself.
He was a familiar figure On the
streets with his odd phaeton and plod-
ding horse. Wherever he might be.
he picked up somebody usually little
girl or a half dozen of them. to enjoy
ride with him. Many a woman and
young girl owes to him restoration to
life and strength. lnvalidS who came
here to regain their health were always
his especial care. and he has nursed
many such through the hard days.
ever stinting himself to help those
who needed help. Only a few minutes
before the kind old man breathed his
last n letter was received an. read
aloud to him. from one of the girls he
had befriended in this way. ard who.
writing from her eastern hame. blessed
him for the good he had done.
The Sad Accident.
The old gentleman's death at las
o'clock yesterday afternoon was due to
the kick of n horse and he suffered
much pain before the final summons
came. He was injured Saturday night
while attending to his customary du-
ties out at the FL Paso dairy, where
he resided with his son. J. A. Smith.
1t had long been Grandpa's custom to
drive over in his buggy each evening
and meet the incoming r & p. train.

THE COBRE GRANDE
People Are Behind This New
Deal, and 1t Is Thought
That A Combination
Is In Sight.

Another mineral railroad is soon to
be built in the west to handle the
enormous quantities of ore taken from
the mines in that section. This new
line will likely join the consolidation
movement that is on hand to form
one big system of road.
The new road is to be built by the
Green Consolidated Copper company
of Cananeas, Sonora. 1t will run from
Naco, Arizona, to the mines, fifty miles
southwest of that place and in the di-
rectiOn of Guaymas.
Few particulars concerning the prop
osition can be learned at this time as
Mr.. Green, the manager of the COM
pany, is now in the east arranging
company is the same corporation that
has heretofore been known as the
Cobre Grande Copper company, and is
one of the largest mining companies
in the southwest. The mines of the
company at Cananeas have been oper-
ated for several years and are now
turning out quantities of ore too great

sity.
That this company is connecting
link in the mineral lines owned by the
Phelps-Dodge and Clifton people there
can be no doubt, but the other COM
panies are to have no interest in the
mines of the former company. All the
larger mining companies have found
it profitable to build roads to their
property and under an agreement. the,
particulars of which are not ready to.
be announced, each company will build
its own road then lease it to a big
railroad that will operate all the roads
in one great system. This company,
it is said, will be the Rock Island
The announcement of the Green
company's purposes bears out the
statement of The Herald of Saturday
that the consolidated roads will lbuild
a joint track into Ell Paso from a point
near BlSbee to connect with the Rock
Island in this city. This will give Ell
mining country in the world There
has been little said about the company
building to the Pacific coast at Quay
mas, but this is probable as the miner
al lines will extend to within 200 miles
of that port.

may be welded as easily and securely
after treatment in his solution as the
best Norway or Sweden wrought iron.
and any tool formed from cast iron
by the regular casting process may be
tempered so that it will carry an edge
superior to the steel now manufac-
tured by the best known process.
This means. he says. that tools that
must have the keenest edge and the
greatest tensile strength can be manu-
factured after having been cast from
the cheapest iron IN the market.
