NEWS. NOTES AND COMMENTS

Twelve deaths from heat were re- ported in Pittsburg on Sunday.
 The total number of deaths in the Cambria mine disaster is placed at 114.
 H. c. Derooy, one of General De larey's adjutants, who is visiting Colorado Springs, Colorado, says peace will not last two years in the Transvaal. The arms surrendered are worthless, the good ones being buried. England is trying to make English out of the Boers, and when the screws are put on the latter will rebel.
 Notwithstanding the general be- lief that Outlaw Tracy is on the verge of collapse as a result of buckshot wounds and illness resulting from exposure, he has managed to keep hidden from the officers. The off cers' hopes, however, have not way cred and the hunt is being pushed with greater zeal than ever because of the censure directed at them by citizens who feel that the convict should have been captured long be- fore this.
 The strike of 800 boilermakers on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad system, which began July l, is set tied, the strikers receiving an increase in wages with time and a half paid for Sundays, holidays and night work.
 It is said on good authority that subject to the approval of King Ed wards physicians, the coronation will occur August 9. The physicians an nounce that their royal patient is progressing favorably.
 King Edward has recovered suffi- ciently to be able to be removed today to the yacht, Victoria and Al bert.
 The Alton road has been experi- menting with locomotives of various patterns for several weeks with a view of placing a large order for new equipment. The experience of the transportation department of the road has been varied. Some of the types have proved a success on some parts of the line and have failed on other parts. It is the opinion among many engineers that an engine has to | be broken into a particular run on some part of the road before getting the best results out of 1t. The Santa Fe loaned the Alton several of it's finest new engines to experiment with. It is not yet known whether the Alton will decide to buy engines like those of the Santa Fe Or not

Sanitarium and SanatorIum.

There is quite difference of opin- ion in regard to the proper spelling of the word "sanitorium." Some spell it ''sanatarium." In the last issue of an eastern hygienic publica- ton there are two full page adver- tisements, opposite each other, one relating to the - ''Sanitarium' and the other to the - "Sana- torium" On the face of it, it looks as if "sanitarium" would be the cor rect way to spell it, from the Latin "sanitas," health. However, the lex icographers appear to think differ ently. Webster does not give the word, but the Century dictionary has it "sanatorium (also enormously sani- tarium) from sanatorious, giving health.' The Century dictionary i. doubtless good authority, but it i: difficult to see why sanitarium, from sanitas, health, should be more CT roneous than sanatorium, from sana torious, giving health. This is 1; question where doctors of language 1 disagree

banks and many fields of grain art almost wholly destroyed.
 Peoua, nl.-A terrific electric and rainstorm swept over Peoria and ad jacent country last night. Rain fell in torrents for several hours and the damage wrought was extensive. All railroad lines entering the city are affected. The damage to timothy and the oats crop is very heavy.
 Atchison, Kas.-The unprecedented rains in Northern Kansas the past few days have paralyzed railroad traffic and damaged wheat irrepar- ably. The Republican river is out of its banks in many places and farms are submerged.
 Omaha, Neb.-The rain that began falling last evening continued up to noon today. Reports received show theconditions of the flooded districts are worse than first reported. The morning trains are from one to five hours late into the city and some are stopped entirely.

NAVAJO INDIANS.
They Are Reported to be in a
 Famine Condition.

The Navajo Indians on the reserva- tion just to the west of Pennington are in dire need of government aid, says the Hustler. Due investigation has proven the fact that within the past thirty days thousands of their horses and sheep have died from starvation, owing to the prolonged drought. Even the Indians them selves have pawned to the traders about everything of value they pos sessed, in order to secure flour and coffee, and unless our government immediately does something there will be much suffering among these poor people, who have heretofore been self-supporting and are well known to be one of the most indus trious tribes now living. It is not contributions of food or clothing they ask for or expect, but work. Work that will enable them to earn enough money to purchase such necessities as they will require during the wiu- ter.
 If an appropriation of S40,000 to S50,000 could be secured, canals and reservoirs could be constructed on the reservation by Indian labor, which would enable them to put into cultivation thousands of acres of the finest land along the lower San Juan river, and at the same time enable them to earn enough money with which to purchase food and clothing until their crops would become pro- ductive. This would not alone en- courage them in life of industry, but forever dispel the thought of be- ing dependents, as well as to aid in interesting them in educating their children. Uncle Sam should try it.

OIL VERSUS COAL.
A Preparation Being Made From Crude 0II intended to Take the Place of Coal for Fuel for Domestic
 Purposes.

A really hot thing is soon to be sprung on the fuel market. It is nothing less than condensed petro- leum, product which is expected to revolutionize the fuel market.
 Condensed petroleum is the result of several years of experimenting with oils of this and other fields, and its discovery is due to Edward Osborn of this city, who has perfected a process by which he is able to con- dense liquid petroleum to a solid that can be handled as coal or coke. By the process none of the heat prop critics of the oil are lost, the advan- tage of the new fuel being that it is much easier to handle and can be burnt in an ordinary coal furnace.
 The manufacturing of this new fuel is soon to be tried on large scale, a company having been organized by Chicago capital to build a large plant to carry on the work. Beau mont, Texas, is the location chosen and it is expected that within the next thirty days the plant will be ready to begin operations.
 II believe that the product will revolutionize the fuel market in cer- tain quarters" said Mir. Osborn, "and its possibilities are unlimited. A chemical process is used in changing the oil from liquid to a solid matter, and in the change none of the heat properties are lost. 4 ton of oil prac- tically makes a ton of solid, as we figure to save at least 92 per cent of the oil, the balance being chemicals used.
 Beaumont was selected for the first plant owing to the cheapness of oil in that field. There we are able to contract for oil at from 2 to cents barrel, and although the oil is not so good as the product of this and other California districts, still it is so much cheaper. We will build a plant capable of handling at least 1000 bar rels of oil day, and we estimate that we will be able to turn out 200 tons of the solid product day in conse- quence.
 Already we have orders for large quanties of fuel if it proves satisfac- tory, which we have no doubt it will. The oil will be moulded into bricks, and in that shape it can be easily stored, taking up less room than coal. By test We have also found there is at least 50 per cent more heat units in the condensed oil than coal"
 Mir. Osborn will leave in a few days for Beaumont to superintend construction of the plant and the in- stalling of machinery.-L. A. Times.

Tom Moore's Book Reviewed.

Mccullough, the great literary critic of the Commercial Tribune, has
 reviewed Tom Moore's My Lord
 Farquhar," and in Fridays paper re- produces the authors picture and says the following:
 ''This is a romantic novel by a jolly good fellow"
 Thomas Emmet Moore has made his name familiar to many readers who take pleasure in neatly expressed wit, humor and sentiment. He is an Ohio man, keen journalist, poet, successful writer of remarkable short stories. His latest and longest published work is the lively and in genious novel, My Lord Farquhar," !" just issued from leading New York press. This exciting tale is not his torical, though it deals incidentally with problems of the Purple East" with the Armenian massacres and with nihilism. But it is meant to be purely literary, not political, and is to be read for pleasure rather than instruction. The story is a romance of war, passion and adventure. It is of oriental spirit and style, and abounds in mystery and love. being a sort of modern 'Lalla Rookh," writ ten in excellent prose. The writer's invention never flags, and his style never becomes slovenly. In fact. MT. Moore Is man of original and bril- liant talent, and he writes not as literary carpenter, but with the dis of an artistic tempera- ment. He is man of teeming and of delicate suscepti- bilities. Young readers will enjoy his richly colored romance of the de- lightful improbable, and old readers will find My Lord Farquhar" the kind of generous, unfearing, all-con- quering hero whom to know is to love, who is met with in the world of fiction or on the still more wonderful and inexplicable everyday stage of action called real life.
 Mir. Moore, the author of My Lord Farquhar," is a brother-in-law of Forest Supervisor Stewart and re- sides at Jackson, Ohio. My Lord is on sale at Wooster's book store.

 FOR WHIPPLE.
One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Dollars Set Aside by the War Department for Its
 Improvement,
Work Will Be Commenced at Once in the Work of Rebuilding and Re-
 modelling the Place.

A telegram from Washington say: that 'the war department has appro- priated s12O,OOO for the re-establish. ment of Fort Whipple, Arizona. The rehabilitation of the post, which was abandoned several years ago, was begun last spring, and some improve ments were made and a small force was established there. This force will be increased as soon as the pro- posed improvements can be made The department regards Whipple as the most healthful and best situated of all the army posts"
 It is the intention of the depart ment, as previously announced to fit up quarters for four companies, and probably for regimental headquar- ters also. While the latter has not been definitely determined an intima- ton to that effect has been given out. This would locate band at Whipple.

BOY BURNED
 TO DEATH. Little Carl Love Makes a Fatal Experiment With Burning Paper Near a Coal Oil Can and Meets His
 Death.
His Little Sister Also Fatally Burned and Two Buildings Destroyed by Fire---A
 FamiIy's Sad Af-
 flictiOn.

The shrill shrieks of the Prescott
 Electric company's siren whistle startled nervous people last evening about half past six o'clock, just as a large proportion of our citizens were partaking of their evening meal. The occasion of the alarm was a fire on South Montezuma street, and its re- suits, attended by loss of life, were of a more serious nature than any fire which has occurred in Prescott since the. destruction of Judge Andrews residence, when three people lost their lives.
 The fire last evening started on the rear porch of John Loves residence, adjoining the old city pumping plant building. It was preceded by an ex- plosion, which was heard for several blocks. Various rumors were afoat last evening as to the origin of the fire; one being to the effect that Carl Love, the 10-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. Love. was building a fire in stove and had poured coal oil from can to hasten the blaze, resulting in the explosion.
 Mrs. Loves version of it is that she had just returned from trip to town and was taking her hat of in the front room, when the explosion occurred. When she reached the rear of the house it was all in flames, while Carl Love and his baby sister, Marguerite, were enveloped in fire. The formers clothing was nearly all burned from his body, and he was unconscious most of the time. I'm mediately after the burning clothes were taken from him he stated that he and his little sister were playing on the porch, where a can of coal oil was sitting; that he lighted a piece of paper with match, and the ex- plosion followed.
 In trying to put out the flames which enveloped the boy Mrs. Love was quite painfully burned, as was also her daughter, but neither are considered serious. Miss Edna Wilder rescued the baby from the burning porch, while MT. Covey sue ceeded in tearing the burning clothes from the boy.
 The burned children were taken into an adjacent house and medical aid summoned. Several physicians responded and assisted in alleviating the pain of the little sufferers.
 The fire made remarkably rapid progress and had made much head way before the alarm was sounded, and by the time the fire department reached the scene it was impossible to save the building, and the fire also spread to the building adjoining it, owned and occupied by G. w. Rob erts, which was totally destroyed also, nothing being left of it but charred skeleton.
 Carl Love died at 80 o'clock this morning, and the physicians attend ing the little baby say there is no hope for its recovery, although it may live for a day or two.
 The family has been extremely un- fortunate, as they lost two children last winter by sickness. They have the sympathy of the community in their severe affliction.
 Mir. Love is hard-working man, and was away from home at the time of the accident, working for the city on the Del Rio pipe line.

Messrs. R. D. and 6. w. French f1uiafIu af WorL 0ausIontn1 Dron

While Prescott is the center of a
 large mining section to which it fur
 nishes supplies at the present time there are no producing mines near
 the town, the closest being on Groom creek, about six miles distant. The country in the immediate vicinity has been prospected in a desultory sort of way, but there has been no great amount of thorough and systematic prospecting done, and the possibility as well as the probability still exists of the discovery and opening up of a big property near the town. In fact the discovery may already have been made, and it only remains for the de- velopment of the claims to be made to bring about the above results.
 G. W. French, who has had con- siderable experience in mining in California, and who has been stop ping for some time with his son, R. D. French, in Prescott, has put in a large part of his time roaming over the hills around Prescott, prospecting them for signs of the precious metal, and few months ago discovered what he considered an excellent showing. about two and half miles southeast of Prescott. Five claims were located and staked off, and the work of developing them has been going on in quiet way ever since four men being now employed in the work.
 The group is known as the Monitor group, the location being in Cypress gulch. On the Monitor claim, from which the group takes its name, a tunnel has been run thirty feet into the side of the mountain and a shaft sunk fifteen feet. This work shows a well defined vein of quartz carrying good values in gold. The ledge averages three and a half feet wide and assays of the ore gave values varying from S7 to S27 in gold. There are several tons of ore now on the dump.
 On the North Star tunnel has been run quite distance and shaft sunk twelve feet, the showing in this claim being equally satisfactory and encouraging as on the Monitor claim, the width of the ledge and the values of the ore being about the same.
 Work has been commenced now developing the Badger claim, but as vet only small amount of work has been done on this claim, but at depth of onl y two feet they ensoun- tered good ore body nine feet wide and assaying S4.15 per ton in gold.
 k. D. French, the well known con- mercial traveller, who makes his head quarters in Prescott, is associated with his father Tn the ownership of the claims and is furnishing the sinews of war for their development, and is highly pleased with the re- suits so far as development work has progressed. In fact he has occasion to, as seldom is there such a good showing made with the limited amount of work done. With capital to sink to greater depth there is every indication of making a big mine, and such a property in such close proximity to Prescott would mean much for the town. Mr. French seys he proposes to continue work on them as long as the properties make such showing as at present, and he has every reason 10 believe that they will not only continue to do so, but with depth will improve.

An anecdote is told of the late bril- liant cavalry officer, in the Confeder- ate service, General Forrest. Forrest having had no opportunities for study in early life, did virtually all his cor respondence during the war through Major Strange, his adjutant general, and it was only on stray occasions that he allowed his ilIiteracy to be known. A soldier once applied to him the third time asking for fur tough. Twice it had been refused. for all the men were needed at the time who could be procured. When the application appeared the third time General Forrest wrote in his own hand: "I told you twist Goddammit know. And the man knew he meant m
