ously Injured in an Angels
Camp Mine.

ANGELS CAMP, Oct. 25-An accident
occurred in the Lightner mine here this
afternoon which caused the death of one
miner and seriously injured another A
skip loaded with two tons of rock was
taken to the top of the hoist and stopped
before being dumped The brakes re-
fused to hold the load and the skip
started back down the shaft. The engi-
neer tried to clutch the engine to the
other skip, but failed. The engine was
then reversed. but it too late to stop
the skip, which shot down the shaft 70J
feet to the bottom, where Martin Bgloa
and John Martincich were at work muck
ing. Bglon was killed and Martincich' >
right leg was broken and he was severely
injured otherwise. The skip tore out three
sets of timbers, which were piled upon
Bglon. The engineer said that two hours
before the accident he had reported to
the foreman that the brakes were unsafe.
but was told to go ahead with the work
The engineer was almost suffocated by
the smoke caused by the friction of the
engines running reversed. but stayed at
his post trying to stop the skip.

ried and native of Austria. His body

YAQU|s RA|O|NC
ABOUT GUAYMAS
Slay the Foreman Of
Sonora Maytorena's
Rancho.
Residents Fear General Rising
and Are Hurrying Into
the Cities.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TUCSON. Ariz.. Oct. 25.-Yaqui Indians
are again causing considerable excitement
in Sonora and the Government no doubt
will be called upon to return the troops
and take up the fight again. Alberto
Robinsons cowboys a few days ago met
band of Yaquis, who told them that they
were procuring ammunition and provis-
ions for a fight with the Government and
for this reason the raids of the past week
had been made upon the ranches of La
Misa, Santa Maria and La Purisima.
On the first of the week Sonora Dona
Celsa Pesquiera de Maytorena was en-
route to Ortiz with two wagons laden with
corn and other products of her rancho.
Accompanying her were number of
peaceful Yaquis, who were employed on
Yaquis held them up and opened fire.
Hernandez and the woman were armed
and resisted Hernandez was killed and
Sonora Maytorena was compelled to yield.
She had considerable money with her,
,9,.l which Sa9 she gave TO the Indians to save
provisions and persuaded the peaceful
Yaquis to join them
Naquis have been seen moving in bands
and wherever rancho was attacked this
week there were always number we'll
armed and desperate. 1t is believed that
a plan has been laid under a new chief
TO attack settlements and ranches. At the
BuStamente rancho, where old man Bus
tamente was killed several months ago
large number of cattle were driven of
by the Yaouis this week. Some of the
Yaqui cowboys employed at the ranch
were persuaded to leave and go with the
warriors.
FL Correo de Sonora and other papers
published in Guaymas consider the situa-
Jion serious and express fear that trouble
is not far away. The Government has
been appealed to by some of the leading
merchants to have the troops returned.
The boldness of the Indians in raiding
ranches near Guaymas causes alarm
among the people of the bay city and
Indian scares are frequent there. The
warfare carried on by the Federal troops
against the Yaquis for six months en-
bittered the Indians more than ever and
they have vowed to avenge the death of
Chief Tetabite. who was killed a few
months ago. When this leader was slain
the MeXicans believed the war was at an
end and the troops were withdrawn. 1t
is now thought that another leader has
sprung into prominence among the In
dians and is gathering corn and ammuni-
ton in the Yaqui River Valley to sustain
them in long fight.
Many ranchers have left their homes
and gone TO GuaYmas and other large
settlements for protection.

COLOMBIA WANTS
WORK TO BEGIN

Delay of French Canal Com
pany Annoys the Gov
ernment.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, 1906 G STREET ".
w. WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-In order to
facilitate American control of the Pana-
ma canal despite the procrastinating
methods pursued by NJ Hutin, represent
ing the French Canal Company, Colombi>,
has proposed to the United States that It
assume her place in all matters relating
been accepted by the administration. nor
can it be on account of the inability OF
the executive to pledge the Government
to the adoption of one route or another in
advance of action by Congress.
At the same time Colombia's attitude
has satisfied the authorities that 50 far
as she is concerned she would be glad IL
some definite arrangement can be made
under which the United States would ac-
quire possession of the Panama conces-
sion. 1t is stated that the company has
not more than S2,0O0,O 900 with which to con-
tinue the work of construction of the
canal, and that it will be unable to OBJ
tain an add. tionaI sum. The concession
of the company will expire in six years
and then the United States could assume
possession.
Hutin and Boeufve have not yet sub
mitted a proposal to the Isthmian Canal
Commission Notwithstanding assertions
to the contrary. AS Hutin went to Paris
for the special purpose of getting an esti-
mate of the value of the work, it is be
lieved that he has brought back memo
randum He has not presented it to the
Isthmian Canal Commission and has
given no indication of his purpose to Co
so.
Rear Admiral Walker is becoming pro-
voked over the delay. The commission
proposed to submit it's report to the Presi-
dent between November II and NoveIn-
ber Is. If Hutin has not submitted his
proposal then the commission will simply
have to repeat its recommendation for the
construction of the Nicaragua canal as it
did in it's preliminary report
1t is believed by members Of the COM
mission that Hutin fears that the price
he believes the property worth Is so large
that this Government will not pay 1t and
that consequently there will be no chance
of a purchase at q high hgure.

HEADS THE LIST
Statement Of the Output
Of Precious Metals
in 1900.
This Country Still ths Chief
Producer Of Gold and
Silver.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Drector Rob
erts of the Mint has prepared a statement
showing the production of the precious
metals for the calendar year of 1900 1t
shows that the production of gold in the
the value of $257. .514, ,700 loss in value of
S49, ,070, 200 from 1899. The loss was mainly
in the Transvaal field and due to the war.
The production of South Africa in 1899 was
of the value of s73,277 100 and in 1900 $9.671,-
900. The principal gains were So, lis, 900 in
the United States and Sc, 800 900 in Canada.
The United States again heads the list. In
the United States the principal gains were
by Alaska, Arizona, Colorado and Utah.
The silver output of the world amounted
to 17S. 1856 796 fine ounces, the largest ever
known. 1t exceeds the product of 1899 by
II, ,513 ounces. The United States again
leads all other producers, with a slight eX-
cess over Mexico. There was an import
the year, the price ranging from 591 cents
per ounce in January to 663 cents in the
last month of the year. The chief factor
in the rise was the purchases for the ac-
count of the Government of India Silver
rupees still constitute the common cur
rency of India and to supply the demand
the Government gives rupees in exchange
for gold soVereigns at the rate of fifteen
rupees to the sovereign. Under this policy
the Government reports outlay for its
fiscal year ended March 81 1901 of e6, 1885,
000 which, at the average value of the
year would make the purchases amount
to nearly 30,c00,000 ounces. This would
seem to restore India to somewhere near
her old position as customer for silver.

Territories producing the largest amounts
