Work of an Incendiary Tinted.

Mrs. G. W. Matthews, the pleasant wife of one of the energetic merchant. of Williams, Arizona, passed through this city today en route to her olC home i'll Medina, Tenn, where she will sojourn for month or six weeks. Tn speaking of the fire which nearly wip- ed out the business portion of Vii Hams on July ?, the lady said her husbands stock of merchandise as well as millinery parlors with their contents, were reduced to ashes in a few minutes after the buildings took fire. The stocks of both their estab- lshments, together with their store building and their residence, were valued at Sl0,000, on which they real ized onl y S2,450 of insurance. Before the flames were extinquished MT. Matthews had written out his order for new stock, and in a few days was enjoying a good patronage in a tent. There were forty-two business houses and residences that were de- stroyed by the great confagration. It IS not openl V asserted how the fire originated, but incendiarism is strong ly hinted.-Albuquerque Citizen.

Another stone castle unearthed is said to con tain something like 100 separate apartments, some of them in most ex- cellent state of preservation.
 In some of the rooms inspected were found the finest woods and other relics of most valuable character. specimens of which have been gather ed and sent to the Smithsonian Insti- tuition in Washington.

BAUMANN COPPER COMPANY.
A Local Company Organized Today in Prescott to Operate the Baumann
 Copper Mines.

A company was incorporated today to work the Baumann group of mines in the Agua Fria section. There are twenty five claims included in the property, all of which will be deeded to the new company.
 The names of the incorporators of the new company are Jules Baumann, R. E. Morrison, H. P. Anewalt, w. S. Goldsworthy and J. c. Martin, and the Came of the corporation, is the Baumann Copper company. The board of directors consists of seven stockholders, being the above five in- corporators and Judge R. E. Sloan and D. A. Kastner.
 At a meeting of the board of direc- tors this morning the following were elected the officers of the company: H. P. Anewalt, president; R. E. Nor rison, vice-president; Jules Baumann, secretary and general manager and W. S. Goldsworthy treasurer.
 The company is organized for a small capitalization considering the number of claims and the prominence of the property, being for only S600,- 900. being divided into 100000 shares of Sl.00 each.
 Of the total capitalization 300,000 shares of the company has been plac- ed in the treasury to be sold for de- velopment purposes, the remainder of it being used for payment of the prop erty, expense of incorporation, etc. At this low capitalization the com pany is able to offer investors better inducements than is offered by large capitalization even at comparatively low price for the stock. The stock should find d ready sale among our own citizens as the property already has very large amount of develop ment work done, and has fine show ing of ore already in sight.
 At the directors meeting the presi- dent and secretary were authorized to sell portion of the stock at p cents per share. It is not expected that very much of it will be allowed to go at this price, however, as with very small expenditure of money it is ex- pected with the present showing to be able to take out Ore for shipment, and | very soon be able to provide revenue from the product of the mine to pay all expenses of development.

PAN=AMERICANEXPOSITION
The Problem of Caring for Those Who Visit Buffalo This Sum- meI Being Solved.
DR. PIERCE'S FREE BUREAU OF IN-
 FORMATION.

With liberality which character. izes all enterprises undertaken by Dr
 R. V. Pierce, the founder of the
 Worlds Dispensary, he has establish a free bureau of information and as sistance, free to visitors and house. holders.
 Tine purpose of this bureau is to provide headquarters for visitors to the exposition, where mail may be ad. dressed and delivered. To furnish convenience for correspondence, such as writing desks, stationary etc. To provide list of desirable accommoda- tions for guests which will obviate the tiresome search for lodgings in a strange city. To give information concerning Buffalo and the adjacent points of interest, in order that the visitors may do their sightseeing with economy of time and money. To help visiting friends in any way consistent with the proposed scope of the bureau.
 This bureau is located ill beauti- ful old mansion of Buffalo, at 652 main street, just opposite the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute. of which Dr, k. V. Pierce is chief medical di- rector. The free bureau is fitted up with reception rooms, wash rooms, dressing rooms, parlors, and all con veniences for out of town visitors.
 Dr. Pierce's Free Bureau had its origin in the desire of the doctor to be of some aid and assistance to the sixty thousand druggists and dealers, who are mostly his customers, as we'll as his old patients: but when the plan was formulated it was found that it would take little more effort and expense to care for everybody who might need the bureaus assis- tance.
 When visitors arrive in Buffalo, they can go straight to the bureau at 652 Main street, and ask for the need ed accommodation.
 No bureau organized for profit can afford to do what pr. Pierce is doing, and no other bureau could attempt it by reason of lack of facilities and the great expense involved.
 Dr. Pierce has arranged to make your visit inexpensive, free from and and give you every minute of time to enjoy the wonderful exposi- tion and its manifold features of interest.
 Dr. Pierce believes thata great med lcal institution like his Worlds Dis pensary," that is in constant touch 1 with thousands of people, has other obligations besides those of a com mercial nature.
 It may contribute to the pleasure and comfort of humanity, even in cases where the profit is not imme- diately apparent.
 Impelled by these principles, he has organized a bureau to furnish PanAmerican visitors with accomo- 1ations and such information, guild lnce and direction, when they arrive 1t Buffalo, as will help them to spend heir vacation in the most agreeable manner

A BIG STRIKE
 AT JEROME,
Nearly One Thousand Employees of the United Verde rIine De-
 mand Shorter Hours of Work
A Delegation Visits Senator Clark and Makes Known Wishes But Their Re- quests Are Denied, Resulting in; a Strike.

A big strike is reported at Jerome
 It is not the kind of strike that glad dens the heart of the miner in the way of discovery of rich ore, but a labor strike in which upwards of 1000 men demand that shorter hours oi work constitute day.
 About year ago a miners union was formed, encouraged by Senator Clark, who granted the miners an eight hour day, and the fact was her aided from one end of the land to the other as an act showing the great love and magnanimity which Senator Clark had for his employees. There are !only about sixty or seventy miners employed in the mine, while there are several hundred employed above ground, working in and around the smelter and at the roast heaps. While theunderground employees have been enjoying their eight-hour day those above ground have been putting in from ten to twelve hours, much of | the work being around the furnaces where it is extremely warm and the work very trying.
 Recently these employees got to- gether in conference and decided to ask Senator Clark, on his next visit to the mine to extend his magnanimity to the men above ground, and reduce their working day to eight hours. The opportunity presented itself last Saturday, when delegation visited the senator and presented their re- quest to him. Mr. Clark had evi- dently been advised previously of the proposed action, as he did not take the matter under advisement but gave an immediate and emphatic answer declining to accede to their demands. According to previous agreement the men all went on a strike.
 The strike includes the engineers and it is stated all employees who work above ground.
 Senator Clark is quoted as saying: Rather than accede to the demands of the strikers I will see Jerome grow up in grass" The men express a de- termination to win their fight while Senator Clark also apparently expects the struggle to be prolonged. Su- perintendent Giroux left for the east on Sunday and Senator Clark was ex- pected to leave today.
 Very many of the employees in volved are only temporary employ as they come and go constantly neat ly one third of the entire number changing every month. Many of the 1. men are already preparing to leave the place.
 Should the close down continue for | any length of time, it would prove serious blow to the town of Jerome, as the operation of the United Verde | company's mine and shelter is the principal support of the town. This Is the first labor trouble of any mag nitude that has ever occurred in the camp, the relations heretofore exist ing between Senator Clark and his being most amicable.

DISGRACE TO THE SERVICE.

With our very limited knowledge of naval affairs generally and inside de tails of the Santiago sea battle in par ticular, we have sized up the admiral controversy very much according to the opinions expressed in the Phenix Gazette, which says:
 ''It was the misfortune both of Ad- miral Sampson and Schley that, al- though the latter was second in com mand, and in full view of his superior, he was in actual command of the fleet which destroyed the Spanish war ships at Santiago. Sampson was in sight, but not near enough to direct. Had the Spanish admiral started east, instead of west, a most disgraceful controversy would have been avoided, for the commander in chief would have been in the thickest of the fight, and as all others in the fleet would
 
 have been equally effective and brave, the distribution of the honors would have presented no difficulty. As the Spaniard, however, steered west, and had eight or ten miles the start of the New York, carrying Sampson, it was for him to get within firing or directing distance until the battle was virtually over. Orders pre- viously prepared by Sampson, in anticipation of such an emergency were executed by Schley, with such notifications as the exigency of the battle required. Sampson was in the line of duty in being absent from the scene of the engagement, He made every effort to reach the scene after the firing began. Schley directed the action with magnificent success. Every man in the squadron lid his duty. The quarrel over the -ewards is disgrace to the service"

she married, said, rNow I'll be my own mistress" finds herself slave to house hold cares and duties.
 And oh how much that woman needs the rest sometimes. She brushes and scrubs, and rolls pastry, her templp throbbing, her back aching, her nerves quivering under the stress of pain. What she would give if she could just creep upstairs and throw herself on the bed in darkened room and rest.
 Rest would tetnporarIy relieve the strain, doubtless, but it would be the same story over again tomorrow. The real need of weak, nervous women is not rest, but strength, and that real need is fully met and satisfied by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. It removes the causes of women's weak ness regulates the periods, dries weak ening drains, heals inflammation and Liberation, and cures female weakness. It tranquilizes the nerves, encourages the appetite and induces restful sleep. uFa- vorite Prescription contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotic. It is a purely vegetable pre- paration and will agree with the weakest constitution

A Fatal Accident.

James Gregory who was working on the machine called the ledger" at Alamogordo, sustained an injury that resulted in his death. The edger is the machine which the slabs pass through just after leaving the saw. It was operated by Gregory and Mex ican helper, whose duty it was to pull rope that puts the machine in a position for the lumber to pass through. This he failed to do in time and the board which Gregory attempted to feed in on striking the rollers flew back and hit him with terrific force in the stomach. A stretcher was improvised and he was at once taken to the hospital where it was found that his internal injuries were so serious as to preclude all pos sibility of recovery. - Albuquerque Citizen.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

As the peach crop couldn't fail this year from frost, of course it has done the other thing and failed from the heat. It's funny summer that doesn't catch the peach somewhere.
 It is practically certain that much of the hot wave is due to cutting away the forests, which, by acting as wind breaks if by nothing else, used to check the progress of the hot winds across the country. The remedy is to grow them again.
 The astronomers in Sumatra tele- graph that no bolometric results were obtained during the recent eclipse of the sun. What were bol omen doing in Sumatral We thought they lived only in Luzon and Boston.
 With all the pressure for govern ment places, the department of Agri- culture is unable to get a single ap- plcant for two Sl,4OO jobs as Agnos- trologists. The term will be clearly defined on application to the depart ment.
 Next time the Maryland democrats will probably rest content with the federal census. The state census just completed shows about {, 900 less pop ulation than that taken by Director Merriam. Yet Maryland clamors for new deal, claiming that she has been discriminated against for politi- cal reasons.
 The Tucson Citizen holds that when a democrat becomes a prohibitionist he ceases to be a democrat. Accord ing to Time honored traditions, Col. Moore is undoubtedly correct. De mocracy and prohibition don't mix very readily, but whiskey and water blend well.-Jerome Reporter. Col. 1 OMoore is apparently a democrat who is fond of his democracy and proud to show physical manifestations of 1t whenever occasion presents.
 Secretary Long deserves thanks for his efforts to constitute a court for | the consideration of the Schley case that will command and deserve the the confidence of the entire country, His selections for the court have been in the highest degree commendable. and the precept designating the spe- cial and general subjects into which they are to inquire is altogether ad- mirable. The court is to be open to the public, or rather to newspaper men of all shades of opinion, thus in suring that fair reports shall reach the general public. In view of all this. 1t seems only fair that judgment should be suspended until the inves- tigation can be held, and the truth can be sifted from the mass of mis- information with which the country : mas been deluged.
