Mortuary.

H. A. King died at Murphy's
camp Wednesday morning of acute
dysentry. Mr.. King was seventy
FIVE years old and had been sick
but short time when the messen-
ger of death summoned him hence
to solve the mystery of the great
beyond. The deceased came to
this country from Iowa last spring,
and engaged in mining with J. K.
Murphy. He was the father of the
King boys, who are well and favor
ably known in this country Those
who were acquainted with Mr..
King during his life time speak of
him as an honorable and christian
gentleman. When ones allotted
three score years and ten have been
well spent the call of death seems
but the aftermath of faithfulness,
and, extending sympathy to the
bereaved, we trust that Mr.. King
is at rest in land where the little
things of this world do not worry
the spirit. The remains were taken
to Phoenix where they will be pre-
pared for shipment to the Iowa
home of the deceased.

PROBABLE MURDER.
Mysterious Disappearance of Frank Viii.
Iiams Near Tappen's Ranch.

Messrs. Sanders, Upton and
Black, who returned Tuesday from
a ten days trip to the Bill Will
liams and Colorado river districts,
report a case which would indicate
that Frank Williams, a prospector
and mining man working proper
ties near Tappen's ranch, had been
murdered. J. B. Tappen, a partner
Of the missing man, states that Mr..
Williams had arranged to meet
him at his ranch on certain day
in the latter part of August last.
After waiting three days he cross
ed the Bill Williams Fork and
went to their mine, which is in
Mohave county. No trace of Mr..
Williams could be found there, and
his provisions, team, wagon and
camp outfit were in possession of a
gang of Mexicans who inhabit that
section. About $3.50 in money,
which Mr. Williams was known to
have had in his possession, was al
SO missing The Mexicans said
that Mr.. Williams must be dead,
and refused to give his property to
his partner without an order from
his administrator.
Mr.. Tappen, on becoming con-
vinced that his partner had been
murdered, went to Kingman, the
county seat of Mohave county, and
endeavored to enlist the aid of the
officers. He states that a. deputy
sheriff came as far as Signal, but
on meeting a man there who said
that he had seen Frank Williams
in Prescott a few days before, re-
turned to Kingman. The Frank
Williams seen in Prescott is anoth-
er man, and is not the one who has
disappeared. The missing man is
not over thirty years old, and has
been here but few years, coming
from the east While the Mohave
county officials may not be to
blame, someone certainly is remiss
in their duties in allowing matter
of this sort to remain undisclosed
for such a length of time. We
think that one or two of the terri
torial papers have mentioned Mr..
Williams disappearance, but as
yet nothing has been DONE

CASA GRANDE'S LUCK.
DR.. Evans to Operate the Erstwhile Fa-
NOUS Jack Rabbit Mine.

We are pleased to learn that DIR.
J. M. Evans, vice president and
general manager of the Keystone
copper and gold mines, situated in
the Black Rock mining district,
has associated himself with some
Chicago capitalists and purchased
the famous old Jack Rabbit silver
and gold mine, situated twenty
two miles south of Casa Grande,
on which they are just completing
the erection of large and expensive
machinery of the latest type, and
will, we are informed, be ready to
open up that property on large
scale in about two weeks.
1'he Jack Rabbit is an old-time
dividend-payer, and has thousands
of tons of ore running from 500 to|
800 ton. In the early days be-
fore these chloride ores could bel
concentrated, or the process of elk
ivation was known, no ores were
ever shipped that did not rum
from 800 to $500 per ton, all Of
the lower grade ores being left
standing, which is estimated at
several thousand tons and which
will average from 500 to $50. The|
doctor and associates are equipping'
this property with the latest i'm
proved devices to handle these ores
at the lowest possible cost, and are
confident of making the old Jack
Rabbit rank among the large divi
dend-payers in the very near fu
ture.
This company, the doctor in
forms US, has also purchased
group of eleven copper and gold
claims still further south, in th(
Quiiotoa district, which are devel
oping up in surprising manner
They have shaft 100 feet in deptl
on the principal ore body, which
has already penetrated large bodie
of glance and carbonate ores. ThI
surface croppings on these claim
are massive and consists of chrys
talized hematite of iron mixed wit
copper. In many places thes
groupings are from $50 to 200 fee
wide. The doctor feels that the

KANSAS DRouTH OF 1860.
It Was a Great Deal Worse Than the
 Recent Visitation of Dryness.

No such weather has been experi- enced in Kansas since 1860, writes J. D. Whelpley from Kansas City. That year still lives in the history of Kan sas as the most dreadful visitation of dryness ever experienced. For over one year no general rain fell through out the State. It stopped raining the first day of September, 1859. There was no rain and very little snow in the spring of 1860. The farmers ploughed their land and planted their crops The seed made some show of growing, but finally succumbed to the terrible heat of summer. For weeks the thermometer 'never registerd less than 100 during the day, and often went to IA degrees in the sade. The wind blew gale, but always as from the mouth or furnace. The ther- mometer marked 146 degrees in the sun, and the people closed the win dows and doors of their houses to keep out the heat. Water gave out everywhere and the suffering was so great that relief funds were raised all over the United States for the benefit of the drouth sufferers in Kansas. Vast quantities of food and clothing were sent from New England, and all manner of entertainments were given in Boston and other New England cities to raise money for this purpose. The people of Kansas do not antici- pate repetition of any such drouth as that of 1860, but they have been forcibly reminded of that terrible year in the history of their State by some features of their present experience. The drouth of 1901 did not begin until nearly all of the crops had attained their growth. The drouth of 1860 be- gan before the planting. It Is not to be anticipated that it will continue through the fan and winter, as it did in 1860, thus destroying the crops of the succeeding year.

CUBA ALMOST RID
 OF YELLOW FEVER War Department Shows What the Experts Have Done MOSQUITOTHEORY CORRECT By Improved Method of Disinfection the Insects Were Killed of and
 Havana Was Free of Fever
 for a Month.
MOSQUITO THEORY CORRECT

Washington, August 2S.-The war de- pertinent, through the division of insu> lar affairs, has published a statement in- dicating briefly what has been done by the military authorities in Cuba toward ridding the island of yellow fever. There was not a single case of yellow fever during June, although no previous June had passed with exemption from the dis- ease The repression of the disease is as- cribed to the attack upon the mosquito, following the theory as to their being the means of transmission of the fever orig inally laid down by Dr. Charles Finlay of Havana and since completely estab- lished by the yellow fever commission and the four months experience of the report says:
 There have been years in which there was very little yellow fever but none in which 1t has entirely disappeared as at present. It would therefore seem to be a fair inference that the improve method of dislnfection killed off the in- fected mosquitoes, and that by March 8 the city had been rid of the infection, and was free of fever until April 20 when a focus of infection again developed Dis infection again apparently killed the in fected mosquitoes, as the city was free from fever until May 6, when another fo- GUS developed. The same method of dis infection was again applied with the re- suit that no cases developed after that date. It is believed by pursuing the pres A~.N yellow fever, and its spread may be pre- vented even when introduced from the outside. If the condition can be brought about many of the restrictions now im- posed upon commerce by quarantines can be done away with"
