Warm Weather Hard on Watches

R. w. Chamberlain, the ieweler who has charge of the clock in the court house tower, has an interesting complaint against the warm W ither.
 The intense heat expands the inte- rior mechanism of the big clock, and as a result accurate time is very hard result to obtain this time of the year. To offset this state of affairs, Mir. Chamberlain changed much of the machinery of the instrument and to protect against the expansion in summer and the contraction when the weather is cooler, he has put in metals of material, one of which is liable to expansion and the other to contraction. The one material offsets the other. As the pendulum of the clock lower, it is well known that the clock runs slower. A contrivance in which mercury is used regulates this.
 To offset the extra work on the town clock business in his shop makes up for it. ''I am kept twice as busy in the summer months" he said, as il winter, owing to this same trouble of expansion of metal in watches, caused by the heat A change of tempera ture also weakens the main spring and frequently causes it to break at the beginning of summer. I haC many of this kind of repairs to make It is a peculiar phenomena whicl causes the main spring to break a sudden changes of the season and on, which people of my profession do no yet fully understand. But warn weather invariably causes troubl, with watches and clocks by causing the metal to expand and the tim, piece to run slower.-Gazette.

President Con O'Keefe, of the So nora Milling and Mining company, is in the city from his big silver prop. critics in the Altar district in Sonora where he has been the past three weeks experimenting the work of connecting La Fortuna, Sernena Els Peranza, Penasco, Quemado and Seglo Nuevo claims by wagon road which had been completed before he left the camp, and as soon as he can get south he will start for Tubutama with Mrs. O'Keefe and the children, who will spend ten days at that place.
 I. W. Wash, the mine superinten- dent, has a large force of men work ing two shifts handling ores of great value. and everything is working like an eight day clock. H. G. Glore, the mineralogist, has his assay plant in position and is happy and content.
 President O'Keefe expressed him self as greatly pleased with the way Secretary O. O. Saxhang managed the company's business at this place while he was absent, and from the way orders came in for stock MT. O'Keefe feels sure he has mascot filling the responsible position of sec retary. Just as soon as the big re- duction plant is established and in running order there will be some thing doing" in mining circles ana you will wish you had bought a small block of Sonora Milling and Mining stock when it was selling at p cents a share.-Nogales Vidette.

Mir. Stanley Returns Home.

B. F. Stanley, the Fort Worth, Texas, attorney, left for his home yes terday morning. Mir. Stanley is one of the few republicans who are to be found in Texas. He is not a politi- clan, as it does not pay real smart republican of ability, as Mir. Stanley is possessed of to monkey" with pol itics in a state where they roll up such a big democratic majority as they do in that state, but republicans are so scarce there that a man who eschews politics is compelled occas- ionallv to make a sacrifice for his party. It so happened during the last state election that Mir. Stanley was elected as delegate to the state republican convention which split itself in two, by the Green and Hawley fac tions. When the twin conventions had adjourned it was discovered that one of them had nominated Mir. Stan ley for attorney general and the other had nominated him for chief justice of the state. When asked by a friend what he proposed to do about accept ing the nominations, or as to which one he would accept, he facetlously replied, 'Oh. I will accept them both and I may get one of them" Mir Stanley is conceded to be one of the ablest attorneys in his state, and i. also very genial and pleasant gen tleman, whom it is a pleasure to meet He is an old time friend of Attorney Aultman, of the law firm of Collin, X Aultman, with whom he visited while here,

A SHOOTING AFFRAY AT CONGRESS.
AMiner Named Johnson Opens Fire on A Patron of His Wifs's Lodging
 House.

A man named Johnson, of Congress, who is by no means stranger to trou- ble, is cultivating its acquaintance more intimately. He and his wife are separated from each other and Mrs. Johnson conducts a lodging house at Congress. On Monday even ing while she was seated on her porch conversing with one of her lodgers, Johnson put in his appearahce unex- pectedly, and it is alleged that he first made his presence known by a shot from his sixshooter, which tore away a round or two from the back of the lodger's chair. The lodg- CT pulled gun and returned the fire, but his markmanship was bad and he failed to score bit. Several shots were exchanged without results.
 Johnson was arrested and District Attorney Ling went down to Con- gress yesterday to attend the prelim- mary examination.

FOREMAN ARRESTED.
The Murderer of the United Verde Cage
 Man Taken at California Cop . per Camp.

Sheriff Munds left Prescott yester- day morning for Bedding, California, for Rice D. Foreman, the murderer of Frank Toniola at Jerome on June 6. Ioniola was in charge of cage in the United Verde shaft and one of of his duties was to see that the cage was not overcrowded with men. Fore man crowded on a cage after it was full against the protest of Toniola, and was reported and discharged. The next morning Foreman caught Toniola in a stopping position and assaulted him with a shovel, beating him so that death resulted shortly after. Fore man disappeared temporarily as effect ually as though the earth had swal- lowed him, but the sheriff sent circu- lars out with a good description of the man and offering S200 for his cap ture.
 Word was received some time since that he had been arrested at little mining camp called Taylor, near Kes- wick in Shasta county, California. Under Sheriff Johns went to Phenix Wednesday evening and secured a requisition for him. Sheriff Munds left, as stated, for Bedding, where he is in jail, yesterday morning.
 The crime charged against Fore man is as brutal a murder as can well be imagined.

A TRUST FOR k TRUST.

There Is little reason to doubt that the organization of the United States steel corporation has been an infuel- tial factor in precipitating the strike ordered by the Amalgamated asso- citation. It was to have been expect ed that combination possessing the tremendous influence of that recently formed by J. Pierpont Morgan would arouse on the part of labor a counter movement looking toward larger and more complete protection.
 The venture, by means of cooper ation, to control the price and output of so important commodity as steel was an extraordinary assumption of power. It was an exhibition of auto craey which could scarcely fail to create anxiety and concern among the wage-earners employed in the production of steel It is doubtless held by the Amalgamated association that the right of labor to form trusts is quite as valid as that of capital to organize conspiracies against trade.
 The public views with feeling very far from complaceney the costly struggle in which the steel companies and the steel workers are entering, but the trust business has been push ed to a limit in the United States which carries with it a reasonable ex- pectation of trouble.-Ex.

Jacob Steiner'S Death.

Jacob Seeiner, an aged gunsmith died very suddenly yesterday after noon on Commercial street between Los Angeles and Main. He was walking on the sidewalk when he was seen to suddenly fall. A dozen ol more persons ran to his assistance but he never moved. A patrol wagon was summoned, but upon its arrival the officers saw at once e-that the man was dead, and they notified the cor oner, who ordered the body removed. An inquest was held later in the after noon, and a verdict rendered that death had been caused by chronic pneumonia.
 The deceased was native of Switz- erland, D years of age, and had re- sided here for a number of years. For a long time he was in the employ of Joe Singer and was considered one of the most expert gunsmiths in the city. He took a vacation about two weeks ago because or i'll health, and had not returned to work. Yesterday he called at his place of employment but did not complain of feeling worse than usual. He was en route to his room when he died.-L. A. Times.

CONTINUOUS ROUND OF PLEASURE. Prescott Ladies Enjoying Themselves and Improving Their Health at
 Coronado Tent City.

The Prescott visitors at the CorO.
 nado Tent City are evidently enjoying
 themselves to their full capacity, eat
 ing clans and winning whist prizes
 The San Diego Sun of recent date
 says:
 "A number of the Tent City guests,
 armed with rakes, shovels and buck cts, went out a short distance on the
 beach yesterday for the purpose of digging clans, and, as nearly every tent last evening was the scene of a chowder dinner, the hunt for the shell fish was evidently a successful one. Those who were with the party kindly divided with their friends, and there is little doubt but that the beach will be much frequented by clam-digging parties. Among those who formed the excursion were: Mrs.
 Mrs. Mccarthy. Mrs. Polaski and family, MT. and Mrs. Brown, Miss Nelson, Miss Barkplew and others"
 The same paper has the following report of a progressive whist party:
 Mrs. Marcher, assisted by Mrs. Donahue and Mrs. Toque, gave novel progressive whist party last evening to their friends, five tables being filled at an early hour. Prior to the opening of the game, much was derived from the score cards distributed among the visitors, bearing such words as cheese, ham, pork, beans, etc, a guessing contest being in order as to the trans lation of the inscriptions. It trans pired, after much speculation. that to determine ones partner one must find the name of the dish corresponding to his or her card, thus the card bearing the word ham found its mate in the card reading eggs. The winner of the first prize was Mrs. Shepard. Light refreshments were served, the party being seated outside the tent, as the pleasant evening was most in Yiting, the pleasant moonlight and proximity to the beach lending a charm of novelty in the affair. Among those present were: MT. and Mrs. l Jaques, Mrs. Shepard, Miss Nelson, Miss Campbell, Miss Mccarthy, Miss ! Royce, Miss Barkplew, Mir. Brown, Mrs. Brown, Mir. Moore, Mir. and Mrs. | MT. and Mrs. Cornell.

ALL ORDERED OUT.
Shaffer Issues an Order Ordering a General Strike of All Steel
 Workers.

President Shaffer of the Almagated
 Association has declared a general strike of the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Steel, Iron and Tin Workers, calling out every man. The Amalga- mated Association executive board will not be called again in conference unless the other side sues for peace. All the power is vested in Shaffer for the conduct of the great struggle and he has absolute and supreme author ity for conduct of the strike. It is claimed the American Federation of Labor will give the strike its finan- cial support and President Gompers is expected to hold conference with President Shaffer this week. The sit uation of the local mills is unchanged, and a dispatch from Wellsville says the arrest there of rioters who parti- cipated in the riot at the home of Harry Phillips on Saturday has damp ened the martial spirit of the strikers and all is quite there. At McKees- port the Amalgated organizers are strengthening their lines for the strug- gle. Several meetings were held in one day and two hundred and seven ty nine new members were added to the organization.
 The control of the rolling mills is settled. Preparations are being made for the organization of the men at the National Galvanizing plant and the seamless tube plant, as they have asked for admission either to the Almalgamated association or Federal Labor. Several thousand Poles and Hungarians employed as laborers in the tube works are anxious to strike and will be formed into organizations or admitted to the Federation of La hOr

ANOTHER BIG STORM. Railroad Traffic Again Interrupted by Wash 0uts-The Point of Rocks Bridge Goes Out the
 Third Time.

Another of those old fashioned rain storms for which this section was noted years ago, circled around north of Prescott from a point about due east to a point about due west, and within a radius of four or five miles of town with the edge of the storm hang ing over Prescott last evening. The storm left a scene of destruction to wagon roads and railroad bridges in its path. Three railroad bridges were injured between Prescott and Jerome Junction, one being over Slaughter House gulch, just north of Whipple; second being just beyond John Dukes ranch, and the third being the one which was washed out August 5, causing a freight wreck, and again on Sunday, August II, yesterday being the third time it has been washed out within a week
 Two small bridges were also report ed undermined between Prescott and Iron Springs. The Miller creek water shed was the scene of a large portion of the heaviest of the storm, and the water poured down that water course in perfect torrents, coming over the old city dam near the electric light plant with roar like Niagara. The Chinese gardens below the dam were flooded and pretty badly damaged.
 Frank s. Carlisle, who was at Lynx Creek yesterday afternoon, says that a short distance beyond the Four Mile House there was barely enough rain to lay the dust from the first storm, though later in the evening that section was visited by heavy rain. while in the immediate vicinity of the Four Mile House there was perfect torrent of water, washing out the road and making it impossible for heavy teams.
 To the west the storm is reported to have extended as far as Skull valley. A cloud burst is also reported on the west slope of the Black Hills between Prescott and Jerome, flooding San ders station and Carter's ranch, al though no special damage is reported.
 The south bound train was held at Ash Fork, as no train had arrived | there on the Santa Fe from the east, and transfer was made today. The railroad people expect to have all re- pairs to bridges completed this even ing if they are not delayed byanother l storm.

Came Back Satisfied.

R. A. Thomas, president of the Mingus Mountain Copper company, returned yesterday to his home at Seventh and Coronado streets, after an extended tourof the East, covering every important city from Chicago to Boston.
 Los Angeles is good enough for me" he said last night. II had ac- tually forgotten what the eastern at mosphere was like; at times I felt as if I would suffOcate. I suffered greatly with the heat and lost ten pounds in weight. You may imagine how oppressive it was, when I tell you that part of the time while I was in Boston the temperature was 90 deg. and the humidity 92. On my return trip found it quite warm in Arizona, but the humidity was only B deg.
 The whole country is very prosper ous, but I found that this coast com pares very well with any other sec ton, and no place equal to Los Ange- les for an abiding place. It does one good to go back in order to remind him of what he has forgotten. "-L. A. Times.

Volcano for Sale.

There is a volcano for sale in Mex ico and the purpose of it's sale is the development of electrical energy. To be sure, it is an extinct volcano, but it is alive in the memory of every schoolboy who learned from his geog- raphy it's name-Popocatepetl. Be ing dead, the volcano cannot furnish a source of energy from within. The snows that all the year around whiten it's lofty summit and that are the source of many waterfalls will fur nish the power needed to run the dy- namos to be set up farther down the mountain. Engineers assert that the site of this proposed enterprise is within practicable transmission dis tance of five ities, including the City of Mexico, where coal now costs S20 a ton. This will be a notable addition to the forces that are developing the resources of the country south of the Rio Grande.-Ex.

When Gabriel Comes.

Gabriel is going to have lots of trou- ble when he comes blowing his horn through Arizona. He is liable to en- counter some delay. For instance, Chappie will want him to wait until he gets one more drink before mount ing the celestial barge. Muldoon will insist on reciting 'The Rocky Trail to Holbrook" for the last time The gambler will want to play that hand out, and the miner will have ''six bits" he wants to get action on before he goes. The ice man will want to lay his last block on the barge and take it where it will be most needed. The Tucson Citizen will want Gabriel to stop over till it gets one more fall out of Hughes. The Courier will want one more jab at Murphy, and if they all have theiI way, poor old Gabriel's crew are go ing to miss connection at the Heaven ly junction. Globe Times.
