tion of the military academy bill as

Proceeding, Gillett explained that in
New England they could understand
the prejudiceS in the south against the
negro ana against negro domination.
but the people of his section insisted
that social OStraciSm should not be Wis
tied on those who did not share these
prejudices. When negro man raised
himself above his fellows and led

stop the shipment of war material to
South Africa. He declared that with
in forty miles of his home there was
a British garrison engaged in buying
war supplies and said the existence
of Il camp near New Orleans was no.

duty of the administration to prevent
these violations of the laws of neu-
trality.

On Monday afternoon J. T. Pierce went to sleep standing between two cars on the Central Arizona railway. near the electric light plant. About 3:20 the engine backed in on the track to take out some cars and Pierce was crushed between the couplings of the cars.
 The crew did not know he was there and when Brakeman Miller went to make the couplings he found he body under the car, having been instantly killed. Deceased was about 40 years of age, and had been in the empoly of the Arizona Lumber and Timber company as a car helper since his coming here three months ago. He had been on a spree for several days. and on Monday morning he drew his wages with the in tention of going to some other place. .
 Coroner Quinlan summoned a jury and an inquest was held. The jury returned a verdict that J. T. Pierce came to his death by accident by be ing crushed between two freight cars while the same were being coupled on the Arizona Central railroad" The body was taken in charge by Underta- ker Whipple An effort was made to find the relatives of the unfortunate man.

 For the past week the echoes around Tombstone have been awakened by the new whistle the Consolidated Mines company have recently installed Great progress has been made by the company in the past week or two One of the immense 45 900 pound boil CTS have been fired up and is now furnishing steam for the large pump shaft engine. The new hoist is com pleted and is now in use The pump shaft is receiving guide lines and it is but a question of a short time until the cages, which are awaiting to be put in, are running. Two large pumps that are to be used under ground for the purpose of draining the lower levels as present depth, are only awaiting the completion of the shaft to be low cred to the respective stations, which are ready to receive them.
 The emergency pump, which the company have built on one of the low CT levels is quite an affair of itself. It is 45 feet long 15 feet wide and P feet deep. It will have a pump and lis intended for use only in case of an jaccident to the regular pumps. The hoisting works are being paint ed on the inside and when finished will present very smooth appearance.

GRAHAM COUNTY MINES.
New England Company Rushing Work.
 A Chance For DrilIers.

Wood Poland and Charley Nelson, who are interesed in some valuable claims in the north end of the Green lee district, came in from their camp yesterday and report a strike of con- siderable importance, which was re- gently made on a claim belonging to Mir. Poland. A shaft has been sunk to a depth of 100 feet, which is all in ore A cross cut was then run 14 feet with out reaching the wall. Careful sam ples of the cross cut give the value of the ore at s per cent copper, from S7 to S14 gold and from six to nine oun- ces silver This would be big gold mine in any country, aside from the other values of the ore, which makes a good showing for either a copper or a silver mine. Poland and Nelson have done a vast amount of work on their claims during the past ten years, and are well deserving of the success which is about to crown their efforts. They have a large amount of good ore in sight in several of their claims, some of them showing bodies of twenty per cent copper and all carrying more or less gold. Another United Verde will some day be found in the Greenlee district.
 The New England Copper company recently installed two electrical drills. They have another drill on the ground and three more on the road. They are finding trouble in securing exeprienced men to operate the drills. The wages paid are $3.50 for mucking and "A for running the drill The company is willing to give good men who have had experience with machinery, an oppor- funity to learn to handle the drills, but of course, they prefer experienced men. Men who think they can hold down the situation should call on or address the general manager of the company, A. F. Ayling, Clifton, Arizona.
 J. c. Smith and T. A. Fulton, who have a most promising gold property near the steam laundry. have com menced development work on their claims. It is their intention to take out a car load of ore and ship it to El Paso for treatment, which will give them a good idea of it's general value Some of their ore is fabulously rich, running many thousands of dollars to the ton. There will be some big gold mines found in this section one ol these days, and perhaps Smith and Fulton will be the lucky men,
 Chas. E. Stevens. superintendent of the Stevens ompany, was down from the mines at Metcalf this week, and reports development work being pushed with most favorable results.
