willing to give out. The change was mads over two weeks ago, and since it took place an effort has been made to keep 1t secret. Whether or not the shake-up is the result of differences between MT. Greene and the share holders cannot be learned. The change will undoubtedly have some bearing on the future operation of the mine It at least indicates an antagOnistc feeling among thos- most deeply interested in the property"
 Denials of the story were made from various authoritative sources and one from the New York headquarters of the company.
 The following was received at this office yesterday from General Manager Mitchell himself, dated La cananea. August IA:
 Herewith l beg to enclose q clipping from ths Arizona Gazette in it's issue of the llth inst. referring to a change in managers of Cobre C,rande.' Inas- much as this article is false in every resp ct 1 take the liberty of requ st. ing that you publish a correction of the points contained therein.
 'in the first place the article states that the stockholders. after an lnspec- ton of affairs here at the mines. were extremely dissatisfied and steps were taken to curb Mir. Greene's authority. and that to make the matter more ef- fcctive my resignation was requested The article further stat.s that a gem tleman from Keswick in California had come here to fill the vacated position.
 Tn answer to the above l will say that the stockholders after their in- spsction of the property here and the system of operation were very en- thusiastic in their praise of everyone concerned in its management. and in- dividua'ly and officially endorsed Mir. Grsene's management as we'll as my own. The gentleman for whom I sent to keswick is thorough smelter man and has been appointed to the superin- tendency of the smelter in order to re- lieve me of the necessity of continual personal supervision.
 The policies inaugurated by this company will be continued. and judg- ing by the success already achieved. We can hopefully look forward to a pro'ongation of the present cordial and friendly relations existing between the management and the sh;ireholdsrs, as well as amongst the different officials themselves.
 While realize that the publication of the article referred to will probab- ly have no influence. at the same time l GSem it in order to render a prompt denial"

SAVED BY CHANGE
How Major Veil Acting on Impulse
 Escaped Tragic Death.

The following story is related by Major C. II. Veil and printed in the wensboro OPa) Agitator. As Major Veil is well known in Arizona and the story is said to be historically correct by those who have read it, 1t Is re- produced as one of the early day mel dents of this territory before the reign of the Apaches gave way to ciViIisi- ton.
 1t was early in the 70's when Major Veil and his partner secured contracts to supply flour, hay and grain to all the military posts in northern Ari- zona. The importance of these con tracts may be known when 1t is stated that flour was worth $l0 per 100 pounds or $20 a barrel at the mill, with cost CT transportation to the diTsr7n. posts added; corn or barley sold for Sl.i0 to $l0 per 100 pounds. and hay (wild), from $35 to s60 per ton-all payable in gold coin. In those times hay was cut with a hoe. wood with a crowbar. wheat to make the flour was bought of Indians, and beans grew on trees. This may seem somewhat ambiguous, but no more so than the fact that We caught fish with pitchforks and took dogs to round and gather them up; in fact, We occasionally caught fish in the ditches in the grain fields.
 Fort Verde. one of the posts referred to. was situated on the Verde river about fifty-flve miles northeast of Prescott. The government had erected a saw mill near the summit of the mountain range at the point where the road from Pre scott to Verde crossed, and had a detail of twenty-five or thirty men stationed there to protect the property. The mill was operated for cutting the lumber used in the building of the posts.
 During the year 1872 Major Veil had occasion to visit the post on business connected with the supply of forage. Lieutenant Rheem, of the Thirty-third U. $. infantry stationed in Prescott, or rather Fort Whipple. also desired to visit some friends of his at Verde, and concluded to accompany the major. Leaving Prescott early in the morning. the custom had been to drive to the saw mill, feed and rest there until after dark, and then drive on through, as

Company Organized to Build From
 Lordsburg to Hachita.

A company was organized last week at Lordsburg for the purpose of build ing railroad from I.ordsburg to Ha- chita, New Mexico. for the purpose of zona and New Mexico railroad aril the Fl Paso and Southwestern. now being rapidly constructed between Deming, New Mexico, and Bisbee. Arizona. The Copper Era says the road was surveyed some months ago, and Superintendent Simmons of the Arizona and New Mex ico is now in east Texas contracting for the ties. Construction work will be commenced at once, or a, least within the very near future. The road will be standard gauge, with seventy five pound nails, hallasted with slag from the copper smelters at Clifton, and built in first class manner in all par ticuiars. The road Is capitalized at sj0o.0O0. The officers are James Colqu- houn. president: M. J. Egan, vice pres ident; II. J. Simmons. secretary and treasurer. These three, with D. H. Kedzie and J. A. Ieahy, form the board of directors. The building of this road will give Clifton anl Morenci, as well as llordsburg, a new line to Fl Paso via Deming. where 1t will connect with the santa Fe system. It is expected that the Fl Paso Southwestern will be com pletcd to Deming ani in operation soon after the first of the year. The main line of the road to Fl Paso, which will pass about twenty miles south of Dem ing. will doubtless not be completed be- fore the latter part of next year, as it will pass through very some very rough country. When the main line shall have been completed this section will then have three outlets to Fl Paso, which will be of great advantage in many ways.

together they laid in ambush ahead of the stage. When the stage came along without any command or word of warning they fired and killed the two wheel-horses and both the messenger and the driver. The mess nger's head was blown off by charge of buck shot. They then made off with the booty. As soon as the news was re- celved in Florence a posse was or ganized and the outlaws trailed to the Reddington house, where a q. s. mall pouch and other booty was found. The saddlehorses. b. elonging to the ranch were jaded from a long, hard ride and stage horse was found, which had been taken a short distance up can yon near the house and killed. This evidence convinced the posse that they had found the guilty parties. and so they took the men on the ranch. Hank Reddington, Joe Futile and Frank Carpenter, a nephew of Reddington, to Florence and placed them in jail. Futile was well known in Florence. where he had been in the saloon busi- ness several years before. He had many friends there and was not con sidered a bad man. but he had been living with the Reddingtons. and the fact that they had made so much money in a very short time added to the other circumstances just related. convinced the citizens that they had found the headquarters of the gang, and the men were members of it. A mob was formed and all three prison- CTS lined up in the hallway of the jail. Reddington and Tuttle we're hanged to the rafters. The vengeance of the mob seemed to be satisfied with taking the lives of these two men and SO Carpen nter was turned loose. He went back to the ranch but the strain on his neEves had been too much, and he died within a week with all the appearances of having starved to death.
 Red Jack was not captured at the ReddingtOn houss, but a posse was out on his trail. They found that he had been coming to q teamster's camp for food, and so they laid in wait for him and shot him as he came up. AL though desperately wounded he nearly escaped, but was pursued and killed, and his body taken to Tucson. This totally annihilated the Red Jack gang.

AN EARLY DAY EPISODE
Recalled by the Destruction of the
 Reddington Postoffice.

The destiuctlon by a flood of the Red dington postofiiee several days ago. which was chronicled in this paper last week, recalls some incidents which happened In the early '70s. At that time this ranch house was made the headquarters of the notorious Red Jack gang, who held up stages and trains So often that al, count of the number has been lost. The ranch was admirably situated for such work, be- ing about 125 miles above Florence on the San Pedro river.
 The Reddingtons. owners of the ranch. also owned cattle and a range there, and seemed to be prospering ex- cepionally. They were not suspected of being implicated in any way with the hold-ups until after the events chronicled below.
 The stage between Florence and G obe had been held up SD often and Wells Fargo x Co. had lost so much that they brought special ms essenger from the north. The man was noted for being a c:ack shot and entirely fearless. He had forestalled many at- ten ptcd robberies and had been the chief instrument in abruptly ending the career of a number of bad men who had attempted to enrich them selves a. Wells Fargo & Co,'s eXps nse. He had been on about week when Red Jack was seen in Fiorence. On that day the treasure box contained $5.O00 for the miners at Globe. Red Jack saw it put on the stage and he himself took passage to Riverside, where he got off. 1t seems that neither the messenger nor the driver recog- nized him. Red Jack circ,ed out around the stage road by trail which he knew, and gathered his gang and
