The Columbia Policemen Are
Hauled Over the Goals.

Columbia, July 6.-There was an
other dispensary : bomb exploded
here today. This time the bomb was
Thrown by Governor McSweeney. The
load had an effect practically the
same as that for Charleston.
Governor McSweeney today said:
Unless the police OF Columbia show
more activity against the tigers and
disposition to oenforce the law, which:
is being violated In this city, the
profits which accrue to the city will
he used to employ additional consta-
bles, and what is left will be turned
over to the county
Governor McSweeney lives in Co
zumbia and has squad Of constables
here, and ought to know something Of
The local situation. It ought to be
suggested that the great trobule here,
1s in Charleston, is not that more con-
stables are needed, but that they do
something more than drawtheir sala-
Hes, If the alleged tigers really ex-
7sS in either place.
The likelihood is that nothing will
be done until the eventful hearing in
Columbia before the State board on
the 18th. There will be nothing done
W Governor McSweeney until after
the 18th, and the chances are that the
State board will also hear something
more about the Columbia situation.
). If all that is talked about comes out
mt the hearing on the 10th there is
likely to be some lively evidence.
There were no dispensary cases tired
here at the recent term Of the court.
This afternoons edition of the Rec
prd has this interesting paragraph IN
its account Of the Charleston situa-
ton:
.eThe whole matter will come up
again at a meeting of the State board
pf directors on the 10th instant. 1t is
said that then some startling revela-
lions will be made as to Charleston
and the constabulary' dealings with
bind tigers 1t is intimted that the
ronstables are openly paid by blind
tigers and that proof will be pro
duced.
Gorarnor McSweeney said this after

Tigers and constables.

That there is trouble and plenty OF
it brewing for the tiger that is blind
there can no longer be a doubt. lf
there had been any question about 1t
he utterances Of Governor McSweeney,
which were reported in the Colnm-
bia correspond dence Of The Sunday
News yesterday, would have been suff-
cient to set all uncertainty pit rest. AS
long as the talk Of diyerting city pro-
fits to maintain constabulary was
directed at Charleston alone some per-
sons were disposed to place compara-
lively little faith in it, but now that
the same threat has been made against
Columbia, and by Governor :McSween-
ey himself, the conviction is gaining
ground that there is going to be
something DOING sure enough. just
how soon the constables will put IN
an appearance no one may say. 1t was
reported in Columbia that the au-
horities would not wait for the con
ference with Mayor Smyth and Chief
Boyle on the 18th, but would send a
new force here at once. just Who
these constables will be and when they
will be here is exercising the tigers
greatly Tt is not known whether
they will be put under the charge OF
Chief Howie, who is now in COM
mand here or whether they will operate
upon their own hook and under a
leader Of their own. Chief HOWE has
proved himself a popular and efficient
officer here. He has the confidence Of
persons who know him, and they
declare he has used every means in his
power to discharge thoroughly the
upon him He is regarded IN a very
different light from some of the other
chief contables who in times past have
had command in this section of the
State.
The assertion that charges would be
made againstsa number of the consta-
bles was read with much interest.
That some of the men who have been
sent here from time to time have
grown unduly friendly with certain
tiger keepers no one doubts. 1t has
always been more or less Of mystery
why some places we're raided so much
oftener than others. There have been
instances where one tiger would be
raided three or four times in a day or
two, while his neighbor was not mo-.
Tested for weeks at time. This, OF
course. looked strange to men on the
outside and some of them have often
wondered whether or not the Aforesaid
g friiendliness'' had anything to do.
with it or not. just how far the IN
vestigation which is alleged to be a.
fact, will go no one can tell. If it was
directed at Charleston alone it might
be considered undue discrimination
and harshness, and would be unpopu-
lar on that account, but if there is to
be a general overhauling Of the con-.
stabulary Of the State and their meth
DDS no one will, of course, have any
right to complain. IF this is. the pro-
ject that is afoot it is probable that
exciting times are ahead both for the
tigers and the minions of the law With
whom they have so much todo.-News

Burning a Filipino Town.

Leavenworth, Kan, July "Details
of the offence Of Capt A. S. Rowan,
the burning of a Filipino town, for
which he is to undergo investigation,
have been received here in letter
from Private John e. Watson, 10Th in
fantry, dated Jaqua, Bohu1 Island,
May l9. The letter says:
a native spy came into the post and
walked over to Capt Rowan's tent and
looked in and found it empty. But
when be started to go away he saw
5Corpl DAILY standing few yards
away. The spy took Corpl Daily for
the captain and, walking up to him,
gave the corporal folded note. AS
DAILY took the note to read the spy
drew out dagger and stabbed him to
death.
-. The insurgents had planned to rush
in and cut the rest Of US down during
the confusion that would follow the
captains death, but we coolly fell in
under arms and formed a skirmish
line around the post. The insurgents
thought they had got Capt. Rowan, 50
when the skirmish line advanced they
met about 100 men in the bush.
About 80 Of the enemy were killed and
about dozen were taken prisoners,
who were killed while trying to escape.
The men caught the spy who muir
dered DAILY. They would have tortured
him to death, but some men with
cooler heads than the others shot the
wretch in the head. The town was
hnrned and a few FiIipiuos killed p

WHO Will SUCCEED the LATE
DR.. STOKES?
Campaign and Primary This Sum
n1er After all.

The death of Congressman j. Wm.
Stokes makes necessary campaign
this summer after all, though it will
have to be confined to one congres-z
sional district only. His successor
must be elected by primary and gen
eral election and be in a position to
qualify and take his set In congress by
December This leaves but little
time for the conduct of the elections,
inasmuch as there will have to be
meetings of the State and county
Democratic executive committees, un-
less primary is done away with,
and there seems to be absolutely no
chance of that inasmuch as there will
very probably be a large number OF can
didates.
There is already considerable specu-
lation being INDUCED in about this
race in political circles. 1t is stated
that Mr.. Thomas F. Brantley Of Or
angeburg, who opposed DR.. Stokes in
1893, will be candidate, and he is
considered the strongest man mention
ed so far. The name of Mr.. Thomas
Raysor Of Orangeburg is also mention
ed, but his friends say that be does
not care tofenter the race. Judge!
Buchanan, it seems, will certainly be
in the race. he is from Sumter as are
Senator !R. I. Manning, Hon. Alta.
mont Moses and Col. j. Harvey Viii.
son, all of whom are mentioned in
connection with the unexpired term.
Mr.. c. M. Efrd of Lexington, the
present reporter of the State supreme
court, former member of the senate
amp of the constitution convention,
and Senator Sharpe Of the same coun-
ty, it is said, will be candidates.
These are the only men mentioned
thus far but there may be others. If
Mr.. Raysor does not run, that will
leave the largest county in the district
with only one man in the field, while
the other large counties will have one
or more.
In this connection it is interesting
to take a glance at the primary vote in
this district as polled in the last pri-
mary election. The vote in this dis
trict is one of the largest in the State.
It amounts to no less than 1914 and
is divided among the counties as fol-

opinion in politicl circles is that a
primary will be held, beyond all ques-

turned loose. On Wednesday morn

New Wa gOn Road.

Jud Webster. the road supervisor of
this precinct. on the advice of Berry
Hill, county supervisor, has concluded
to build new wagon road to Morenci
The old road up Chase Creek is in very
bad condition and is washed out in
places by every flood. Mr.. Webster
has decided to ascend the mountain
south of Clifton near the Masonic grave
yard. After once reaching the divide
the road will require but little work
and will be free from damage by floods.
The road can be constructed for about
81 900. and it is understood that the A.
c. company and the ID. c. Nj. company
will each contribute one-third the
amount necessary. When the road is
once built it will be permanent one
and will not need to be repaired after
every rainy spell. 1t will probably
take about four weeks to complete the
road after work has been commenced.
The distance TO Morenci will be about
the same, but the trip can be made
over the new road in less time, be-
cause it will be much better road
than the old one.

MINE AND MINING NEWS.


takes big money to open up copper
property, and one trouble with the
New England people was that they
failed to put up enough money at any
one time. The company has recently
been reorganized. The management
understands the needs OF the property,
and the ERA predicts the company will
now make a pronounced success.
Clifton is becoming quite market
for mining shares of various kinds.
Many Clifton people got rich buying
stock of the Arizona Copper Co, and
many others have made big money on
Shannon stock, which was put on the
market at s. and is now selling at 80.
The amount aud variety of stock sold
in Clifton is surprising. On Tuesday
last 10000 shares of stock in Cana
dian copper company changed hands
here in one day. Recently there has
been considerable activity in stock of
the Clifton Copper company, which is
operating at Santa Rita. New Mexico.
The stock was put on the market at
81. 80 and is now selling in New York
at s.. Before the Clifton boys put
their money into it they sent practi-
cal miner over 10 examine the prop
erty. He sampled it carefully, and it
was upon this report that the stock
sold here.
The following dispatch has lately
been sent out from Newark, y. j.,
about an Arizona mining property
located near Stafford in this county:
Charges have been made against
John a Qualey, of New York, in a
suit instituted in chancery by William
j. Duane and Edward w. Osgood of
New York, and David S. GreenOugh OF
Boston, as directors of the Arizona
Copper Smelling company, 4 New Jer-
sey corporation capitalized at 81 900. 600
a second suit, in which the contesting
parties and interests at issue are prac-
the same court by the John p. Kane
company of New York against the
United States Carbonate company. In
the suit against the copper company,
of which Qualey is president. the com
claimants seek an accounting for certain
funds, which they say, were diverted
by the president from their proper
uses. In the bill it is said that Green
ough paid to Qualey $751; for the
purpose OF paying the company's debts
in Arizona and developing its property
there. After depositing this sum in a
New York bank, it is said, Qualey drew
out and used the whole or large part
of the money for other purposes. -
OF the operations of the Qualeys in this
section the Bulletin says: John A.
Qualey rustled money in New York for
Frank and Charley Qualey, who had
charge of this mining property. Con-
siderable development work was done
on the mines and smelter was built at
Stafford, but never put in operation.
The Qualeys left here last fall and all
the property owned by the Arizona
Copper Smelling company is now in
the hands of Z. a. Nelson as receiver,
his appointment as such having been
procured by the New York creditors. =

The report no doubt will be most inter-
esting reading. 1t will show where
the money has gone and who received
it. and many other details of interest
to the people who pay the taxes. Had
regular quarterly financial statements
been prepared by the clerk, passed on
By the supervisors and then printed in
tie newspapers, it would not now be
necessary to employ an expert in order
TO find out the real financial condition
of the county.

Owing to the heavy rains OF the past
! few weeks. and the fact that the hills
will be full OF water, it is likely that
an immense amount of prospecting will
be done during the early spring months,
and many new strikes of Importance
will be reported.
Work on the Medler smelter, which
was suspended about two weeks ago on
account of a misunderstanding with
the contractor, will not be resumed
until after the arrival of several of the
prominent officials of the company
who will sail from London the latter
part of the month.
Ed. Sands, an energetic and sue
cessful prospector, who recently sold
a group of claims on Chase creek to
the Shannon Copper company, left
Monday last for the mining regions OF
eastern Oregon. Ed. says he is tired
of prospecting for copper, and will
now hunt for gold mine.
c. f. Hits, of St. Louis, who spent
the past two weeks here examining
the Homestake group of gold claims
up the San Francisco. in which he Is
largely interested, returned home well
pleased, and before leaving Informed
an ERA representative that he ex-
poets to soon have a 10-stamp gold
mill in operation on the property.
w. NJ. Whipple, who has been min
ing on the strip near the reservation,
returned home last week, having sold
his mining interests there for neat
sum of ready cash. His property had
been in litigation for some time past,
which was one reason why he disposed
of it. He will not quit mining, how
ever.
Messrs. Elliott, Beck aud Hudson,
store, concluded that they were not
getting rich fast enough, and in order
to better their fortunes, they recently
located four good claims on the north
side of Chase creek, nearly opposite
the old Longfellow, and at once COM
menced development by sinking a
shaft. When down six feet they
struck good shipping ore, and feel
greatly encouraged over their venture.
They contemplate organizing the Big
Three Copper company, and may let Il
few Of their friends in on the develop
ment stock.
Representatives of the New England
Mining company, which owns the King
mine, wire that they will soon be in
Clifton, and it is expected that they
will be prepared to resume operations
at both the mines and plant. 1t seems
to be generally conceded that the King
is one of the largest and best mines OF
the district. and with sufficient
amount of money to develop the prop
erty, there is no reason why it should
not be one of the heavy producers of
this section. 1t has been worked quite
extensively in years past, and consid-
cradle amount of money spent on the
plant, yet the enterprise has not been
"a success up to the present time. 1t

Articles of some kind have been filed
with the county clerk by some person
or corporation, proposing to utilize the
waters of the San Francisco river for
electrical purposes. The papers as
filed call for fifty-foot dam across the
river at some point between Clifton
and the ella river. Such dam would
no doubt prove disastrous to some por-
tions of the valley and if located near
Clifton would be very detrimental 10
the town, as it would undoubtedly cause
the river to overflow. Whether the
parties backing the scheme mean BUSH
ness or not the ERA is not now prepar-
ed to say. 1t is quite likely that sew
eral good locations can be secured along
the river for storing water forelectrical
purposes, which If utilized would be of
great advantage to the community.
