Six Miles HIqE1.

Drs. Berson and Snoring have given a statement of their record balloon ascension to the Post-Dispatch core spondent as follows:
 Our balloon, which is seven times the ordinary size, was charged with compressed hydrogen. The ascension at first was rapid. We reached height of 1000 meters (about a mile and a 'quarter) in 45 minutes.
 At 10,300 meters (six and one-quar- ter miles)-tne highest altitude ever attained-we became unconscious. ears, then hummng, then insensi- bility, but no pain.
 From 5000 meters we discharged ballast. There was scarcely any wind, and the view of the towns, winding rivers and mountains below was in- describably grand and beautiful.
 up to 1000 meters (nearly two thirds of mile) we could distinguish the cries of men and of geese, and the rumbling of railway train was audi ble at 5000 meters (about three and three-quarter miles).
 Freezing began at $500 meters (not quite a mile and half). At 500 meters we put on our fur wraps and used the newly invented thenaphore to keep off the cold.
 "At 5000 meters Give miles and a half, we began to feel sleepy, but healthy, assisted by breathing bottled oxygen.
 Just as he was fainting Dr. Berson had the presence of mind and just suf- ficient strength to pull the valve cord, so the balloon forthwith began to de- scend. We were 1000 meters high when consciousness returned.
 "The lowest temperature recorded was 40 degrees (Fahrenheit) below zero.
 We are now quite well again, but think we have reached the greatest height attained by man."

Favors Minority Report.

General Jones of Wilcox said that had 1t not been for the present constitution the Legislature would long since have provided for local school taxation. Many state had statutory provisions nthis subject. Alabama is the only state in the south where no provision is made for local taxation The majority report had considered this matter and concluded that the only way 1t could be done was by county taxation. The Ashcraft plan was not constitutional, and it could not be found in any state. The Ohio plan simply provided. for seperate schools for the races and not for seperate taxation.
 The convention here adjourned until 3:30 o'clock

stitutional then the plan to allow the white districts to levy a tax on their pro- perty and the colored on theirs, Is also constitutional. This plan will satisfy the negro element At present the negro Is mendacant This plan will give him a chance to have a school organization and cultivate race pride. He will have some incentive to improve himself.
 It is your own race and not the negro race that is calling upon you to do some thing for them. The Supreme Court will find way to allow each race to do some thing toward working out their own destiny

ApUinaIdo Talks.

A representative of the Associated Press visited Aguinaldo recently al his quarters at Manila. He was found in large room furnished with table type writer, settees and chairs. His wife was entertaining a number oi Filipino women friends. Aguinaldc was smoking and chatting with Beni- to Legardo. He was reluctant to talk for publication and considered every question particularly before answer ing. He said he was doing all he could to assist in the pacifcation of the Filipinos and expressed himself as surprised at what the Americans had accomplished. When first cap tured he was greatly astonished to find the majority of the Filipinos en- tertained the opinion that American sovereignty was preferable to indepen- dence, and now inclined to believe that way himself. After referring in grateful terms to the courteous treat ment accorded him by the military authorities, he declared conviction that the civil government would realize the highest hopes of the Fiji pinos. He was questioned regarding his visit to the United States and re- piled that he would like to do so but had made no plans yet.

Fogg, of Springfield, Massachu- setts, and is under his personal super vision. They have been spending to- day in driving about the town and seeing what a western town located in the mountains, a httle over a mile above sea level looks like.
 Tomorrow morning they will go by train to Yaeger station on the P. & E.. railroad, where they will be met by teams from G. c. Rufner's livery stable and driven to the Yavapai Cop per company's camp in Yaeger can yon, where they will remain until Sat urday morning. Those composing the party are as follows.

Having had falling out with F. A. Heinze, the Montana millionaire min ing man, ". A. Clark, and his son, C. w. Clark, applied to be released from bond of S950,000, which they had executed for Heinze. The supreme court of Montana has just decided that the reasons assigned for their withdrawal are not satisfactory, and has denied the motion.
 It is now stated that J. J. Hill of the Great Northern has formed an al- liance with w. A. Clark in regard to the building of the Salt Lake railroad. Hill wants to get into Los Angeles with his lines. After all, this ''scrap- ping" on the part of the railroad com panies for rights of way, will not amount to anything in the end so far as the public being benefited. If both roads are built the rates will be just the same as if there were only one.
 The Weekly Journal Miner, which will be issued on Wednesday, will contain an unusual amount of mining news. It will be good issue to send away. Several hundred extra copies have already been ordered, and sev- eral hundred more than have been ordered will be printed. Yavapai coun- ty is coming to the front on account of it; mineral resources.

TRANSFORMATION SCENE.
Mrs. Kautz Compares the COndi- tions in Arizona Today With Those Which Existed
 Two Decades Ago.

Mrs. A. V. Kautz, widow of Gen. Kautz. who was in command of the department of Arizona and New Mex ico, with headquarters at Fort Whip pie, some twenty years ago, Is again in Prescott, accompanied by her two daughters and Miss Harriet Hudson. As owners of the Gopher and Little Treasure mines, adjoining the Me Cabe, which was sold last week for S750,000, Mrs. KautZ Is here to con slider the sale of her gold mines in the Big Bug district to a rich eastern syndicate. Mrs. Kautz has just re- turned from trip to Phenix, where she visited all the many points of in terest, including the Indian school and the Pima and Maricopa reserva- tions. In a chat with the Journal Miner representative, Mrs. Kautz ex pressed her surprise at the rapid strides that civilization has made in this part of the country during the past two decades. ''Imagine my in terest and astonishment," she saids ''to see acres of the same wild country across which 1 had travelled under the protection of U. s. soldiers and in the constant fear of being scalped by Indians, now occupied by a govern ment school, where 700 Indians of the younger generation were learning car pentry, masonry, farming, blacksmith ing and the less practical arts of piano playing and china painting"
 Mrs. Kautz spent two days at Wick enburg and of her visit to the big gold strike of the Gro Grande there, she said: T was much impressed by the beautiful ore specimens, which have been taken from the Gro Grande mine and by the contagious anthusi- asm of the owners, Mir. Hatfield and Mir. Upton. The sleepy little town of Wickenburg has certainly walked up to a realizing sense of its impor tance as a mining town and there is every indication of a grand boom there soon. From Wickenburg I went to Congress, where the courtesy which I received at the hands of the manager of the Congress Gold Min ing company made my visit one of especial enjoyment and value. The feature that aroused my greatest ad- miration at the Congress was the ex- cellent management to which the sue cess of this great mining enterprise is largely due"
 Mrs. Kautz's enthusiastic conf dence in the future prosperity of Ari zona as rich mining country and popular health resort is all the more significant when one considers her personal experience here in the early days when the country was wilder ness of sand and cacti.

DIANE EXCURSION PARTY.
Express Themselves Highly Pleased With Their Visit and With the YaV- apai Coppr Companys
 Property.

In conversation with representa-
 tive of the Miner a number of the Deane excursionists for them
 selves, as well as for the entire party expressed themselves as highly pleased with their visit to Arizona. To many of them it was their first visit to Ari- zona, and instead of finding in Pres colt, as they expected, a typical western mining town, they found a small city not unlike a prosperous New England town. They were sur prised at the marvellous progress which had been made in rebuilding the town, after the disastrous fire of last July, and at the magnifcence of the busi- ness houses. The party was com posed of the following persons:
 W. F. P. Fogg and Mrs. Fogg, Springfield, Mass; Dr. Charles O. Carpenter, Holyoke, Mass; Hon. Henry J. Hendey, Mrs. Hendy, Miss Maude Hendey, Torrington, Conn.,; E. c. Barr, H. J. Buckley, M. F. Robin son, Springfield, Mass; Geo. Night ingale, Frederick Carpenter, D. O. Judd, Holyoke, Mass; John NJ. Good ing, Portland, Me; B. H. Dingley, Lewiston, Me-; W. Irving Morse, Len erett K. Seymour, Hartford, Conn; Hon. W. D. Smith, Athol, Mass; E. c. Robertson, Hinsdale, N. H.
 The party was joineda at Prescott by the Misses Kautz, daughters of the late Gen. Kautz, U. s. A.. and nieces of Rear Admiral Kautz, U. s. N., and Miss Hudson, of Springfield, Mass. They were greatly pleased also with the property of the Yavapai Copper company, and arrangements are being perfected for the active prosecution of development work on them during the present season.
 The properties were acquired by Judge Josiah W. Deane, and are be- ing now financed by Fogg & O., who have several offices in eastern finan cial centers, and of which firm Judge Deane is. member.
 Mir. Fogg and others of the party eft yesterday for the east, via Col 1rado, where Fogg & Co. have several ,ther mining enterprises in progress.
 Six gentlemen of the party left Sunday for California, and thence east.

INJUNCTION
 STILL PENDING Hallenborg and the Minor Stock Hold. CTS of Cobre Grande Fighting
 for Their Rights. They are Granted Leave to Reply to Answer to Cobre Grande Company In Matter of Appointment of
 Receiver.

The sensational Cobre Grande cast
 has taken on a new phase. It has
 been before the court for the past few
 days on the application of Axel W
 Hallenborg, prominent New York
 capitalist, for the appointment of a
 receiver of the Cobre Grande com pany. A temporary injunction is now pending to restrain E. B. Gage, presi- dent, and all other directors of the company from carrying out the agree ment of compromise made some time since with W. c. Greene, on the ground that the minority stockhold- CTS and creditors have not been pro- tected in the settlement of the litiga- ton with Greene, and that the ma jority have sold out to Greene without protecting the minority or the com pany.
 It appears that Hallenborg is the party who has been furnishing large sums of money, amounting to over S40,000 to Gage and the directors of the company to carry on the litigation against Greene and is a large stock holder in the Cobre Grande company. The compromise does not protect Hallenborg nor secure repayment of the amount he has advanced to the company for such litigation.
 The motion for the appointment of a receiver on behalf of the minority has been submitted to Associate Justice Sloan, who has grant ed leave to plaintiff to file reply to Cobre Grande company, Greene. Gage and other defendants.
 We learn that prominent eastern including John w. Griggs, ex-attorney general of the United States, have been retained by Hallen- borg and the minority stockholders, to assist Judge John J. Hawkins, of Prescott, and have presented strong brief and will file reply to the answer of the defendants.
 An able presentation of the case has been made but it involves so many questions pertaining to the rights of minority stockholders and other points equally intricate, that decision is not expected for some weeks. In the meantime, the tempo ,ary injunction is continued in force. 1
