HIDES AND HORNS.

I X Cattle Company expect to ship out some 10000 head of cattle from the Huachuca country to California points this fall.
 Tombstone Prospector: Over one hundred cars of cattle have been shipped from Huachuca Siding during the past fortnight. The cattle were shipped to California for pasturage, and were consigned by Colin Cameron and the Kern County Land x Cattle Company.
 Williams News The Perrin Land and Cattle Company have been busy the past week making arrange ments for the shipment to Callior- mia of COCO head of sheep, which were sold to parties in that section. Owing to the inability of the rail- road company to furnish cars, be- cause of the great rush of business on the line considerable delay was occasioned.
 Williams News: Not very long ago it seemed as though the cattle industry in this county had been killed. Succeeding dry years, the low price for cattlea and other condi- tions had combined to make cattle raising improbable here, and all the large stock companies in the county withdrew their investments. Thus for some time our hills were no longer dotted by browsing herds. There was a great increase sn the value of beef along about 1896, however, and the range presented more favorable conditions. lmme- diately upon this change many of the people of Coconino county be- gan investing their savings in cat tie until now there are scores of cattlemen here whose holdings run from hundred head up into the thousands. In total, the county assessment roll for 1901 shows these holdings to have amounted to H. 475 head at a valuation of $12l,- 577.25. Since the above assess ment roll was made the number of cattle in the county has increased at wonderful rate.
 Tombstone Prospector: Clay Me Gonigle, the Cochise county cow boy, is making record for himself in his roping contests in New Mex leo and Texas. At Albuquerque during the recent fair he won q number of prizes. At the fair now in session at San Antonio, Texas, he won the first prize of Sl 900 for tying three steers in the remarkable time of 2 minutes and S4 seconds. During the first week of the con- tests he made several attempts at tying, but in every instance his rope broke. and he afterwards learned that bis ropes had been par tiallv cut. During the last contest he made a thorough examination of the rope and entered with de- termination to win, which he did. McGonigle has for a number of years been at work in the Sulphur Spring valley for various ranches, his last work being done for Vim. Lutley, Ryan Bros, and the c. c. Company. He came into prom thence as roper two years ago at Tucson, when he broke the worlds record by tying his steer in p seconds. Since that time he has won considerable money in various contests throughout the southwest His many friends in

NEW PLAN.
College Papers to be Run by the Whole
Student B0dy-EditOrs Appointed.

1t has been determined by the stud
ents Of the University to amend in
some shape the manner in which the
college paper has been published. A
publishing association has been form
ed among the students and a board OF
editors selected. There are to be two
papers. One of these is to be a week
ly and 1T is to be newspaper. The
other is to be issued four times during
the year and will be literary in tone.
The weekly will be called the Athe-
naeum.

THE SENECA SINGED.
Bad Blaze IN the Fourth Ward Last Night
Folly Covered With Insurance.
ORIGIN OF FIRE IS A MYSTERY.

employed in the factory. They will
in consequence of the fire be out of
work for some time. 1t is possible to
begin operations soon again in tempo
rary quarters in which the cutters,
smoothers and polishers may be ac-
c0mmodated.
All Of the packed ware was saved
1t was in barrels on the side next TO
the railroad and was rolled out. None
Of it was lost. The heaviest loss is
to the machinery in the cutting, pol
ishing and smoothing rooms which
was destroyed of course. There was a
great deal of ware in the cutting de-
partment and packing room This
was all destroyed.
The fire originated in the packing
room. There is some mystery about
how it could have started as there
was but single gas jet in this room.
No other fire was about it.
At one o'clock the Waterman had
made his round and was sitting ia the
engine room afterwards. He rose
about one twenty and said that it was
as they are made every half hour
just as he opened the door into the
rear end Of the factory he saw the fire
and told the engineer to blow the fire
whistle.
Examination Of the register in the
Office shows that he had made every
round as he should have made them
during the night. He states that the
fire seemed to be all through the pack
ing room but that it appeared to have
started in the center of the room
where the jet mentioned above was
located
This jet was a small one and how it
could have started such fire is hard
to see. Following the alarm given by
the whistle the fire bell in town was
rung and the department was soon on
the ground.
The Seneca Glass factory was built
here in the fall of 1895. 1t was the
first concern OF any size to locate in
Morgantown and has been in continu-
Gus and successful operation ever
since. The factory came here from
Fostoria, Ohio and it is largely CO.
operative in its character.
Following the location of this fac,
tory the town of Morgantown has be-
gun to developd at an astonishing
rate aud has reached a very res pect-
able position among the cities of the
state. The factory was yet one of the
most important in the town and its
damage will be regretted by every
one.
Work OF repair will be started just
as soon as the insurance is adjusted
and the factory will be ready before
very long to resume operations at the
old stand.
On last Saturday the decorating
loom close to the factory but not con
nected with it was attacked by fire
which did little damage. This fire
also is somewhat of a mystery. The
Morgantown Brick Works just be-
low the plant was on fire Saturday
but the blaze was put out without
much difficulty.
The loss. is estimated by the CON
pany at about $50, 600. This is fully
covered by insurance, Mr.. BOeher oi
the company stated this afternoon
that the factory would soon resume.
Temporary quarters will be provided
for the smoothers, cutters. polisher,
and glaZers.

Pittsburgers are Back Of the Con-
eern which has Obtained Charter
Something of the Methods of Manu-
facture.
Special to the New Dominion.
PIrTsBURG Pa, June IA com
pany mas been formed by Pittsbnrg
capitalists for the manufacture OF
prismatic glass according to pro-
cess devised byProf FL o. director
Wadsworth OF the Allegheny obser
yatory by which prismatic glass can
be produced as cheaply as ordinary
rolled plate. The new process will
revolutionize the manufacture OF
that kind OF glass.
The new factory will be built at
Morgantown, W. ", and l5 ton
continuous tank has already been
contracted for and will be built by
II L Dixon, of Pittsburg Prof.
Wadsworth and w. A. Page, former
ly with the Luxter Prism Co., are
back of the deal Mr.. Page will be
the perintendent of the new plant.
Prof. Wadsworth is the inventor of
the process which consists of cast
ing the glass upon a regular casting
table and IN the usual way After
the cast is rolled the table moves
forward beneath a mold or iron plate
having "a grooved surface against
which the hot sheet of glass is push
ed by the elevation of the table by
compressed air. Perfectly even
grooves and ridges to secure the de
sired prismatic effect are thereby
produced on large sheets OF four by
five feet.
The most successful prismatie
glass at present produced is in small
squares four by five inches and is
usually pressed Even in this small
size it is very hard to get perfect
ribs w.th the fiat mold required and
still more difficult to keep each
plate straight when turning it ont
of the mold
BY the new system the sheet is
held perfectly level on the table on
which it is first cast and while being
forced up against the indented plate.
After the table is lowered the sheet
is slid off into the lehr. keeping it
constantly upon livel surface and
allowing no chance for bending or
Wrapping. Prismatlc glass made in
this large size will soon replace the
ordinary sheet of glass in window
sashes where extra light is requir-
ed

The Seneca Glass factory was Sc
verely seorehed at an early hour en-
Wednesday morning. The fire was
discovered a short time after one
o'clock and an alarm was at once
turned in.
Firemen from both the third and
fourth wards responded with all their
apparatus. The first ward was not
called as it was not thought that
they were needed
The company found the entire
west end of the building ablaze and
a heavy wind blowing up the river
taking the fire into the plant under
full Roadway. Three streams were
turned on it at once.
Members of the Company from
Seneca were first to put water on
the fire although the companies from
the third ward were not long in
reaching the scene The apparatus
in the factory was also used to good
effect
The fire ate it's way steadily into
the building under the pressure of
the wind. The fremen went in
through the building and fought it
back Hardly had they begun their
fight from the inside when the wind
veered and took the blaze back down
the river. Shortly afterwards the
fire was extinguished
At the place where it was stopped
it was in the center of the building
in the smoothing room. The com
pany has been receiving much praise
today on the way it put out such a
bad fire in building without allow
ing it to be burned down after it
had gotten under such headway
The walls fell In nearly as fast as
the timber got on fire. However this
stopped before it came to the end of
the fight. 1t is stated that part Of
the walls which were gntted are all
right and will be used in rebuilding.
None of the machinery in the en-
CINE rooms or in other parts Of the
factory other than that attacked
closely by the fire was damaged. The
lehrs are not hurt
The blowing room is intact and the
only parts OF the factory damaged are
the packing room, cutting shop, pol
ishing and smoothing rooms. Sever
al Of the wheels in the polishing room
are still there. There are four out Of
the thirty unburned.
Many of the men lost their time
books. Lloyd Morris saved number
of them. These books contained the
abstract of the work done by the men
for four weeks and the loss to them
will he considerable. There is no
record in the office of this. The com
pany had the men keep their &C
counts and turn them in just before
pay day which fell on next Saturday.
They have been directed TO bring in
their time and will be paid eff at
once 1t had been expected to close
down the factory on July third and
remain closed until the 9th. The
fire will cause the shut down to take
place sooner than expected.
The blowing room is not damaged
and the furnace is all right. Under
the circumstances the escape from
more serious damage to the plant is
very fortunate one.
Nearly three hundred people were
