UNITED VERDE
 MINE AFFAIRS
Senator W. A. Clark Makes Some Interesting Statements.
Summoned as a Witness in the Suit for an Accounting Instituted by Professor TreadweII-0utcome of the Reorganization of Company.

Senator W. A. Clark of Montana, was a witness in the supreme court in New York City on Tuesday in suit brought by Professor George A. Treadwell against the United Verde Copper company and the directors of the corporation. Professor Treadwell asked that the defendant company and its directors be enjoined from selling or disposing of any of its as- assets until judgment of the court shall have been pronounced; that receiver for the compan;' be appointed and that an accounting be made by tho defendants before a referee for the profits of the corporation since December, 1888; that the court direct the sale of the property of the United Verde Copper company then remain ing undisposed of and appoint a referee to conduct such sale, who shall account for it and pay over the proceeds, when the plaintiff is to re- ceive a proportionate share of the money so found due and propor- tionate share in the surplus and as sets of the company.
 Professor Treadwell claims to own 620 shares of stock in the company, which, he says, are now valued at SlS6,OOO. He says that he was wrongfully deprived of his share in the company because he refused to sell.
 Senator Clark denied that he had made certain threats as to what would be done if Professor Treadwell re- fused to agree to the organization of the company, such as was effected, in 1900. He says that in 1898 he asked his agent to try and get an option on Professor TreadwelPs stock, but noth- ing came of it.
 Senatar Clark said be made no at tempt to buy Professor TreadwelPs stock ofter reorganization proceedings had been started.
 Did you ever tell Mir. Allaire that you did hot intend to be annoy cd by that pauper any longer, referring to Professor Treadwelli" was asked.
 "I never did"
 It was brought sut in the course of Senator Clark's imony that the United Verde Copper company had opposed a man named Burns who was candidate for Sheriff of Yavapai county. Senator Clark said that Burns was a discharged employe of the company, and that he had threat ened 'to get eyen." When Burns be- came the republican candidate for sheriff, Clark said he gave orders that Munds. the democratic candidate, should be elected, and that the com pany should spend any amount of money that might be needed for legitimate campaign expenses. About S10,0O0 was so spent.
 Senator Clark was then excused in order that be might go to Washing ton, and it was arranged that he might return for cross-examination later.

4 Fatal Accident.

David Mumford fell out of bucket while going down the shaft at the Cash mine at midnight last night and was instantly killed. He had been up at the hoist house taking his usual midnight lunch, and was returning to work when the accident happened. As is the custom of miners he was standing on the rim of the bucket with two other miners when all of sudden he was seen to let go his hold on the rope and the next moment he was plunging to his death at the bot tom of the shaft.
 He had only been working there about three weeks and was not strong physically, and the accident can only be accounted for on the theory that he was attacked with . fainting spell or with a sudden attack of heart disease.
 He was apparently native of the United States, but nothing was known of his former place of residence or Of the whereabouts of his relatives. Two letters were found on him, one from a man in Mayfeld, California, and another from a man at Bisbee, and these were both telegraphed to today in hopes of hearing something of bis relatives. He was about 3S or 4C years old.

HAVOC WORKED BY WIND.
Destruction at Pulaski. Life Lost at Clifton
Forge. Train Service Improved
(By the Associated Press.)

~ 'hC AoOCldItu IToSS.t
Roanoke, Va, March 1.-THE train SER
vice is much improved over what it was in
Southwest Virginia on Friday, though
traffic is still seriously DELAYED on ac-
count of the many washouts and inun-
dated tracks. The Shenandoah tracks are
still under water at Fort Royal for a
distance of more than q mile and the
tram due here at four o'clock this after
noon IS not expected until some time
sunday. The Norfolk and Western main
Inc west of Roanoke is open to Bristol
and as far as Panther. w. Va, on the
Bluefeld side. There is a washout at
PANTHER, but it is thought that the rail-
road at that place Will be opened some
time tonight. On the Clinch Valley diyis-
ION a bridge at Cedar Bluff is badly dam
aged and there is a bad slide at Kiser.
Those breaks are expected to be cleared
by Sunday. Bluestone river. near Blue
held, w. Va, is higher than ever has been
known and all the bridges crossing that
stream for miles have been swept away.
There are many coal operations along
Bluestone river, but so far there has not
been any damage of consequence reported
TO mining property.
The town of Pulaski, Va, presents q
scene of havoc and destruction, the dam
age caused there by a whirlWind mount
ing TO many thousands Of dollars. The
entire roof { Hotel Pulaski was blown
away. The damage to the hotel is more
than $4,000. Scores Of other buildings
were unroofed. The rich farm lands along
Roanoke river, between Salem and Chris
tlansburg have been denuded of fences
and crops. At Clifton Forge last night,
Guy Craft was standing on a bridge that
crossed jackson river. when it gave way
heneath the pressure of the raging wa
tiers. Craft was thrown into the stream
and drowned.

THE NOMINATION OF SENATOR.
Chairman Simmons Says His Committee Has
no Power to Decide on Plan.

Washington. .. c., Feb. 28.-Chairman
Simmons expressed surprise that there
should be any misunderstanding as to the
meaning OF the reference to the plan of
nominating a Senator in the call for
the meeting of the Executive Committee.
He said. of course, the committee had
no power to decide how the candidate
for Senator should be nominated, and
whatever it did, if anything, in this re
gard would be merely recommendations.
Certainly it is the province of the com
mittee to discuss all questions of party
policy, and this question of nominating a
candidate for Senator is a question OF
great Importance as affecting the cam
palgn of this year. 1t is impossible to
over estimat the good effect upon the
campaign of its wise settlement, and the
bad effect of its unwise settlement. If
the delegates to the convention are not
selected with a view to the possible
nomination of a candidate for Senator
by the convention, then the convention
method of nominating would be e1imin-
ated. although the convention, when it
meets should be overwhelmingly in ia
vor Of this method, because it would not
be fair either to the candidates or the
people to nominate, if the delegates had
not been elected with the view of posi-
bic action to this end by the convention.
If it shall be the opinion OF the commit
tee that there are plausible reasons to
believe the convention plan may be
adopted by the convention, then some
action should be taken by the committee
to the end that the delegates may rep
resent the will of the voters of the party
in case the convention shall decide to
make a nomination.
Representative Small has introduced 2
bill to increase the cost limit of the
