One of the biggest strikes ever made
in the Bradshaw mountains has just
been made in the Gray Eagle mine. A
crosscut has exposed a body of ore
seven feet wide, six feet of which gives
an assay value of $50 ton gold, and
one foot $75 to 5000 per ton gold. The
strike was made in crosscut from the
tunnel at depth of 800 feet. The ore
body is exposed for 700 feet

The last flood has washed out the
Tempe and the Utah dams, in the Salt
river valley so that until they are re-
paired no water can be turned into
these canals. These dams are con-
structed of brush. looseboulders and
sand, and no attempt is made to make
them permanent A dam that would
stand the highest floods would be
very expensive one, so the dams are
constructed cheaply, and will stand any
ordinary flood.

pe KILLS LEGLESS MAN

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. BADLY
frightened by a small dog swapping at
him. Francis Reilly, OF 1920 Cabot street,
an eighty-year-old man, who lost his legs
In the civil war, fell dead at the corner
of Girard and Ridge avenues on Tuesday.

ter in the northwestern part of the city,
was believed to be very poor. At the
morRue, however, where his body was

mans pocket and also government and
railroad pension papers. 1t is now be-
lieved there is much money hidden away
somewhere by the dead veteran.
The death Of Reilly is believed TO have
been insanity due to his crippled condi-
tion. Being legless he used a small We
hicle to move about, propelling It with his
hands. The constant arm action caused
enlargement OF the heart. This organ,
weakened by years of strain, was easily
affected, causing the old man to succums
when the dog scared him. The animal
belonged to a saloon keeper near by
At the time, Reilly. who had received
his pension check a few days previous,
was visiting friends in the neighborhood
with a view Of having IL cashed. When
people in the neighborhood heard the dog
barking at him and saw him fall they had
no idea that anything very serious had oc-
Cured. But as he lay motionless on the
pavement an ambulance was sent for and
he. was removed to ST. Joseph's hospital.
Before he was taken into the institution
1t was discovered that he was dead. The
body was identified at the morgue by John
Hart, of 1888 Vineyard street.
Papers in Reilly's pocket showed that
he was a pensioner Of the Pennsylvania
railroad. He has two sons, who live out

ENGLISH ACCREDIT
THE VICTORY TO
ROOSEVELT
BRITISH PRESS DECLARES ELEc.
TON A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
IN THE PREsIDENT-THE
COMMENT.

NEW YORK. Nov. THE Herald's edi-
ton publishes the following from its cor
respondent:
The English press comments upon the
results of the elections in the United
States to a great degree take the position
that il is a greater victory for PRESIDENT
Roosevelt than for the Republican party
The Telegraph says:
''It Is not too much TO say that MI
Roosevelt has won victory for his party
which the party managers nearly threw
away. The verdict Of the electors seems
to amount to striking vote of confidence
i'm the president.
The time was not very long ago when
English sympathy was cast on the side
which seemed the more friendly, or per
haps even the less unfriendly, TO this
country Today, fortunately, so dlnerent
is the mutual sentiment that Englishmen
have no national concern in the issue
of the popular elections. since il is not
likely that sensible Democrats or sensi-
BILE Republicans would wish to disturb
the existing cordiality of the relations be-
tween the two great English speaking
Countries
The Daily Chronicle says:
I'VE do not wish to detract in any way
from Mr.. Roosevelt's energy and patriot
ism in overcoming the opposition to the
great railway trusts and to arbitration
on the coal strike, but there is no doubt
that his action in the matter saved his
party from rapid increase Of unpopular
ity"
The Morning Post says:
The reports from the west seem to
confirm the opinion that had it not been
for the national sympathy with the pres
ident the Republicans would have Jared
much worse. Consequently, the future
must depend on whether the leaders of
the one party or the other have a definite
policy. That is what the people want"

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Nov. en-
structions from quartermaster general say
there will be erected at the new post at
Chickamauga Park buildings for regf-
mental headquarters and eight troops Of
cavalry.
1t is impossible to build for the entire
regiment at this time, on account of the
insufficiency of funds at present avail
able and which are needed for construc-
ton Of buildings at other posts for shell
ter troops.
The post will be made complete for ad-
ministrative purposes the only reduction
being that of buildings necessary to house
officers, men and horses for one squadron,
that is four troops, there being II troops
to a regiment, divided into three squad
rons of four troops each.
The construction of the hospital will
be changed from frame to brick, and 1T
will be necessary to, re-advertise for bids
for this building. This will be done as

CUBANS HOLD BACK
OUR RECIPROCITY TREATY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Contrary to
the common understanding here, it ap-
pears that the draft of the Cuban reci-
procity treaty has not vet left Havana
on its return to Washington, but instead
is now resting in pigeonhole In the desk
Of President Palma.
The misunderstanding as to the location
OF the treaty arose from a statement to
the state department from Minister
Squiers at Havana to the effect that he
expected the treaty dispatches to WASH
ington the day following the sending of
his message. However, it did not start
then, and has not yet started. Cuban
habits of procrastination rather than any
disposition to actually refrain from enter
ing into treaty relations with the United
States are supposed to be the reasons for
delay.

BOSTON CHIEF SAYS
MASON is INNOCENT

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 6.-The gold
watch of Clara Morton. the hospital do
nestle who was killed Saturday evening
and for whose murder Allen G. Mason is
charged, has been found in a Boston
pawnshop and the police are searching for
a negro who is said to have sold the ar
ticles.
The chief Of police does not conceal his
belief that the negro murdered Miss Nor
ton and that Mason, who is now in Jail,
is innocent.
AS there have been a number of assault
cases in this city in which the principal
has been described as a negro, Chief
Watts considered this new phase of the
Waverly affair very important He said
today:
This lets Mason out of 1t altogether"
The chief said that he was using every
device of the police department to locate
the negro and expressed confidence that
he would be caught within forty-eight
hours.

MASON
THE BOSTON POLICE ARE TRY
ING TO CONNECT CLUB MAN
WITH THE DEAD WoMEN'S
CLOTHES. -.s..

BOSTON. Nov. 7.-Prompted by the
finding in a pawnshop here OF the watches
OF Agnes McPhee and Clara A. Morton,
the two women who have been murdered
IN assault cases IN this vicinity, the police
are pressing with all their energy to
place IL possible the responsibility for
the crime.
II has been learned that a negro en-
ployed by the Mason family has gone
away from the city and the police cannot
ascertain where he is. 1t was a negro
who pawned the Morton watch. The
pawnbroker, Joseph Nemser. in whose
store both the McPhee and Morton watch
es were found, was at police headquarters
today and repeated his stories about the
watches, after which he started for the
East Cambridge jail to see Mason for the
purpose OF identifying him.
Captain Dugan, of the bureau OF crimi-
nal investigation said that Nemser had
insisted that II was a mulatto who offered
Miss Mortons watch for sale Saturday
night and that the same individual who
brought the watch to the store on Mon
day and sold it for 81. He further stated
that another negro, older, heavier and
darker than the mulatto Joined the latter
just as he was receiving the money. An
apparent coincidence was noted today in
connection with, the pawning. both the
McPhee and Morton watches in that the
address given in the McPhee case was q
Grove street and in the Morton the same
number OF q, in Greenwich street, was
given.
In probing the case at .waverly. the
state police have found evidence that Ma
SON had made at least two attempts 90
have women meet him at night at THE
Oaks" a sectionrof the Metropolitan park
reservation not far from the Mclean In
sane asylum. where Mason was patient.
and ON the grounds Of which Miss Morton
was killed.
Nemser failed to identify Mason. At the
jail Mason was placed among six other
men and Nemser carefully scrutinized
each one He picked out one man as the
person who pawned the watch, but it
was not Mason.
The negro who has charge of the house
where the Masons live was about his
work as usual today although the police
claimed that he had gone away He said
today that he was at his post yesterday
and could have been found there by the
police II they had looked for him.
