WlCKENBURG'S FUTURE.

We present this week a short
outline of the work being done at
the Orc Grande and Angel mines,
together with an insight into the
future plans of the two mines
which are destined to make Wick
enburg famous as the center of the
richest gold and copper district in
the United States. After laboring
for nearly eight months to impress
upon the minds of the outside
world the great extent and rich
ness of the naturalization of this
section, with no small success s, but
not commensurate with the exist
ing conditions, we decided that
any expense incident to attracting
the attention of the investing pub
lie to Wickenburg and her mines
would be money we'll spent, and
have accordingly this week issued
an edition of 5000 copies, printed
in gold and copper, the metals
of which are the life and sinew of
Arizona.
The uninitiated and unsophisti-
Gated person unacquainted with the
mysteries of the printers art is
apt to notice this weeks News
Herald and remark upon it's
uniqueness without realizing the
great amount of labor attached to
getting out such an edition. For
the benefit of these we would say
that every one of the 5000 copies
was run through a Washington
hand press two times, after which
the copper and gold dust was ap-
piled by hand, slow and tedious
task, as well as expensive, for the
cost of the gold and copper dust
used was no small item. But we
think the conditions warranted it
and hope the results will be salts
factory. This district today is
practically undeveloped, when it's
vast and rich naturalization is
considered. Since the old Vulture,
with a record of over $17,OOO,OOO,
was discovered, the Congress, Oc-
tave, Harqua Hala, Orc Grande
and others, with values running
into the millions, have been the
source of inestimable profit to men
who had the means and grit to
develop them. And there are
many other prospects and partially
developed mines in this vicinity
today which will yield equal or
greater returns to men of means
and ability. The great Orc Grande,
which already has over $8,000,O00
in sight with the main body Of ore
untouched, was pronounced worth
less by so-called experts" less than
two years ago, when it had less
than 80 feet of work done. AS
everyone interested in this district
knows, the enormously large and
rich ore body was discovered at a
depth of less than 40 feet and the
fortunate owners are now million
aires, and were before they had ex-
pended as many thousand as they
now have millions in sight.
On all sides of Wickenburg are
rich ledges and ore bodies which
will net the investor enormous re-
turns. The Angel was purchased
for mere bagatelle six months
since upon sight, by ex-Secretary
Charles II. Akers, when he first
could hardly be persuaded to

Congressman Peter J Otey, of the
Sixth Virginia district, died in Lynch
burg, Va his home, last week. Mr.
Otey was we'll known in the South
as a business man before he went to
Congress. In 1894, he was elected
to the House Of Representatives,
since which time he has been a mem
Der of that body. He was born in
Lynchburg, Va, in 1910, and served
thu oughout the war in the Confed-
crate army. Congressman Salmon,
of New Jersey, also died last week,
this being the third death In the
House Of Representative within

THE CASE OF SENATOR MO1AUR1N.

The open letter of Senator Mo.
Laurin, of South Carolina, in which
he announces that he will not go
into the Democratic primaries for
re election under the conditions pre-
scribed, amounts to a declaration of
political independence. In this there
is no occasion for surprise, for his
speeches and votes for two years
past have shown him to be an indie
pendent. But there is no room in
South Carolina for this spirit, and
the recent elections of delegates to
the State convention have shown
that whatever chances Senator Mo
Laurin may have had for reelection
have faded away, ven his home
town electing a delegation adverse
to him. The declared purpose of
Senator McLaurin to make no con.
test in Democratic primaries is a
sign of the tightening of the grip of
Senator Tillman upon the throats
of South Carolina. He bestrides
that State like a Colossus and no
man in it can stand up against him
and live. It is a somewhat pitiable
situation, but it is their affair.
The man chosen to the Senate to
succeed McLaurin will be the man
OF Tillman's choice and in Washing
ton will be his obedient servant, or,
refusing, will be crushed, as all OPP
position to Tillman Is. Every body
must bow to his imperious will or
suffer the penalty.-Charlotte Oh

A FAMOUS NOVELIST KILLED BY HIS
BROTHER.

Paul Leicester Ford, Refusing His Brothers
Request for Money, was Fatally Shot.
NEW YORK, May 8.-Paul Leicester
Ford, the novelist, was shot and
killed yesterday by his brother,
Malcolm Webster Ford, writer and
athlete, who Immediately sent a bull
let into his own breast, dying in
stantly.
The shooting occurred at 10: 20
g.. m in the handsome mansion
which Paul Leicester Ford had
built at 81 East Ssh street and had
occupied for about a year.
Police Captain Brown said to night
that Malcolm W. Ford had for some
time been causing much uneasiness
to the family through evidences of
an unbalanced mind, and declares
that in his opinion he attacked his
brother during a period of tempo
rary insanity. He added that Nal
collins financial affairs had been
harrassing him and he had repeat
eddy asked and received material
assistance from his brother.
Paul Leicester Ford was 81 years
of age, a novelist of much note,
'sJanice Meredis h" being perhaps
his most popular novel. He was
married about q year ago TO Miss
Grace Ktdder, of Brooklyn. He was
the son of Gordon Lester Ford, of

dies In the war with Spain. Admiral
Sampson passed away at his resi-
dence here, where he and his family
had lived ever since his detachment
in October, 1901, from duty as com.
mandant of the Boston navy yard.
For nearly year it has been known
to Admiral SIMPSONS physicians
and his family that his death was a
question of a comparatively short
time. Before then, however, he had
been in poor health, and while he
was able to perform in some measure
the duties of his position at the Bos,
ton navy yard, those close to him
began to suspect that his mind was
giving way.
According to the medical diagnosis,
Admiral SIMPSONS trouble was sof-
tening of the brain with degenera
ton of the internal system, and these
were accompanied by extreme physi-
cal weakness.
