DEADLY AUTOMOBILE
Charles Fair and Wife Killed in France by One of the Death
 Dealing Machines.
FaH's Mania tor Rapid Travel Re-
 suited in the Fatal Accident.

MT. and Mrs. Charles Fair of Cali fornia were returning to Paris from Tronville on Thursday, when their automobile swerved and crashed into tree. Both were instantly killed. The chaffeur became insane as a con sequence of the shock.
 The wife of the gate keeper of a chateau was the only witness of the disaster. She says she noticed a big red automobile coming along the road at a tremendous pace. Sud denly something happened and the heavy machine slid sidewise from the right to the left side of the road for about sixty yards. It then dashed up an embankmant, turned a con- plete somersault and crashed into a big elu tree in front of the gate of the chateau. The automobile was completely wrecked. The front axle was broken and other parts of the machine were crushed, including the steering gear.
 When the automobile turned over the wife of the gatekeepcr says she saw NIT. and Mrs. Fair thrown high in the air and fell with heavy thud to the ground. The chaffeur, who was sitting behind the Fairs, was precipitated into a ditch. He got to his feet calling for help. The gate keeper rushed to his assistance and aided him in extricatiDg Mir. and Mrs. Fair, who were buried beneath the wrecked machine and were in the last throes of death.
 Both sustained ghastly injuries and were almost unrecognizable. Mir. Fairs head had been crushed in, while his wife's skull was split. The chaffeur was terribly affected at the calamity and seemed bereft of his senses. He threw himself into a ditch on the opposite side of the road and rolled about, crying: My poor masters"
 The accident was due to the burst ing of tire. At the time it occurred the automobile, which was capable of running seventy-four miles an hour was going at the rate of sixty two miles an hour.

THE COPPER
 RIVER COUNTRY Active Railroad Building to Be Commenced at Once and Forty Miles Completed This Year. The Enterprise in Which Shirley and Vanderbilt Are Interested
 in Alaska.

The Journal Miner was the first paper in the United States to give a detailed report of the wonderful mineral resources of the Copper river country, Alaska, and of the project of building a railroad to that section from Valdes. The enterprise is one in which James Shirley and
 W. w. Vanderbilt, formerly of Pres colt are heavily interested. A Tacoma telegram of recent date con- firms the report given out by the above gentlemen In Prescott. It says:
 ''It is announced today that the Anglo-Alaskan Construction com pany has been incorporated in New Jersey with a capital of S3,O00,000 to manage the construction work of the Valdes, Copper River and Yukon railroad, which Helm & Abbott of New York and their English associ- ates will build from Valdes to Eagle, commencing this fall.
 'F. C. Helm of New York, manager of the construction company. says that from thirty to forty miles of track, for which rails are now en route to Valdes, will be laid before the end of December. He hopes to have the entire road completed through to Eagle City within two and a half years. The road will fol low the government trail for 100 miles from Naldes, thence crossing Copper river and taking an almost direct route through to Eagle. It is intended to build a branch to Daw- son, starting about a hundred miles south of Eagle, but official action has not yet been taken on this propo- sition.
 "The special purpose of the Anglo Alaska Construction company will be to disburse construction funds to be provided by Englishmen. The com pany's proposal to build into Dawson may force the White Pass and Yukon railroad to extend from White Horse to Selkirk or Kondike."

On August p, 1898, the Los An geles Tipes published the following predictions: "The Times does not hesitate to go on record with the pre- diction that Henry T. Gage, if elected governor-and of his election there is hardly reasonable doubt will make one of the ablest and in every respect one of the best governors the people of California ever had. He has won the nomination by reason of his personal force and merit. The same qualities will insure his cleo tion, and will make his administra- ton notable in the annals of the state" The prediction came true to the letter, but the Times is now wig orously trying to prove itself a false prophet, all on account of the fact that Governor Gage did not take his orders from "Ginral" Otis.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

Ed. Block yesterday received two orders by telegraph for Merchants Mining company's stock. Orders are also being received by every mail. The block of stock offered for 50 cents per share has been nearly all taken. This will probably be the last stock offered, as the proceeds of this will give them all the money needed at present, and the mine will soon have reached that stage of de- velopment whereby it will not only furnish all the money needed for future development, but will also be able to pay dividends.
 Messrs. Wright, Moe and Paxton are still sinking on their Index mine near the Zonia group and are meet ing with good success. The shaft is now down ninety feet and they have encountered good ore.
 The Zonia mine, which has been shut down for several months, it is now stated, will start up soon again and on a larger scale than ever before. It IS the purpose of the com pany to sink two shafts at least 800 feet deep and probably 1000 feet. Work will be commenced in the near future.
 H. E. Armitage, who is In town, says that within a week after the fire which destroyed all his machinery he had a new diamond drill plant in stalled and he has sunk POO foot hole since with it.
 General Manager A. J. Doran of the Nighthawk Mining and Develop ment company has completed wagon road from the end of the De la Foun- taine mine to the divide above the Nighthawk. The road will allow of machinery being hauled in on stone boat or some other narrow vehicle, and will later on be widened out to admit of big teams hauling over it. From the top of the divide the new machinery for the mine will be taken down the hill on skids. A station has been cut out in the mine to ad- nit of the installation of the hoisting plant.-Mohave Miner.
 Alleged discoveries for the treat ment of low grade ores are reported at frequent intervals. Most of them after brief experiments drop out of sight. The latest one comes from Leadville and it is announced that by its use very low grade ores con taining, according to fire assays merely trace of gold, are made tC yield large values in precious metals On the surface it appears to be another Wynn sensation, but the mar

LABOR FEDERATION.
Ringing Resolutions of No Un- certain Sound Adopted by the Labor COnVen-
 tiOn,
While Shannon's Name Is Not Men toned, a Resolution of 0ppo- sition Just Fitting Him
 Was Adopted.

The Journal Miner was not favored
 with an official copy of the proceed ings and resolutions of the recent labor union convention held in Pres colt, but from such proceedings given out by the convention to a demo- cratic paper in Phenix and to a dem- ocratic paper in Prescott, is enabled to give synopsis of the proceedings. The name adopted was the Arizona Labor Federation.
 The convention refused to endorse any candidate for any office, but in
 an indirect way placed the stamp of its disapproval in a very emphatic manner on the candidacy of Charles M. Shannon, without calling him by by name.
 A labor legislative committee was provided for whose duty it will be to attend the next session of the legisla- ture and see that the following bills are introduced: The Utah eight-hour bill; bill to secure safety and sani- tary conditions in mines, shops, etc; a bill to prevent blacklisting; mine inspector bill; freight and fare bill, and similar measures. Organizers were also provided for to try to get every body of organized labor in the territory to join the federation.
 The adoption of the initiative and referendum was advocated by resolu- ton, land also the public ownership of all the means of production and distribution"
 Following a preamble alleging that the pumping plant of the Con gress Gold company was recently blown up by the accidental explosion of gasoline, and a whereas charging the Phenix Republican with insinuat- ing that the explosion was caused by the Congress Miners Union, was a resolution protesting against such action on the part of that paper, and another calling "upon all members of organized labor in this territory to ex- press their disapproval of the con temptible policy of the Arizona Re- publican by withholding their pa tronage from the said paper and its supporters"
 The Tucson Star was also the sub- ject of two whereases in which it was condemned for refusing to sign the scale adopted by the printers union of Tucson and a resolution was adopted heartily endorsing the az gressive warfare being now made by Los Ageles Typographical Union No. 174, against the Los Angeles Times, whose proprietor, Gen. H. G. Otis, is viciously opposed to organized labor, and has for years been a menace to all endeavors tending to a betterment of the wage workers"
 Both of the above papers were grouped together by a resolution ''That the Arizona Labor Federation do all in its power to curtail the cir culation of the Tucson Star and the Los Angeles Times throughout its jurisdiction"
 A committee was appointed to as- certain the character and fitness of all aspirants for all political offices and to make known the enemies of labor and to prevent unfavorable leg islation.
 A special committee was empow- cred to take the necessary steps to secure the control or ownership of a paper to be conducted strictly on be- half of organized labor, to circulate labor news of interest. and promote economic intelligence.

volley. A third, who ran, was shot
 in the back. and fourth, who was
 captured, was shot in the chest while
 praying for mercy. It is suspected
 that the fourth man was buried alive,
 as his wound was slight and probably
 would not have caused death. Dogs
 dug up two of the bodies and de-
 voured the flesh. It is believed that
 sufficient evidence has been secured
 to convict all the participants in the crime. The bodies of these teachers
 were found on July 24, after the teachers had been missing since June 10. The police killed the leader of the band of murderers and captured eight other alleged participants in the crime. One man escaped.
 Surgeon General Forwood says that cholera in the Philippines is we'll under control and there will be general diminution in the number of cases from now on. He declared that all the latest information from the Philippines is favorable to the early suppression of the scourge. The chief factor in that direction is the rainy season, which General Forwood said had already opened and will continue until November.
 Mrs. Frank Neller of St. Louis, who had stepped into a church door way during storm, was rendered unconscious by a bolt of lightning that wrecked the spire and went through peculiar experience. The shock melted gold watch chain that she wore about her neck and four gold rings on her hand, the rings running together into one piece. She recovered fully after being uncon- scious half an hour.
 4 special from Skagway, Alaska, says a most severe earthquake was felt there. The first shock was fifty seconds long, rattling things up gen. orally. Several large plate glass windows were broken and chimneys tumbled down. The water in Lynn canal rose five feet very suddenly and | thea subsided as quickly. A report from Juneau says the little fleet there was pitched around, and sev- eral vessels capsized. The first long shock was followed by lighter one.

A HOPEFUL VIEW.
Superintendent GirOux Believes That He Can Extinguish the Fire In the United
 Verde Mine.
Work to Be Started on Much Larger Scale Than Ever Before if
 Successful.

Superintendent Giroux is now of the opinion that the fire at the mine will be put out, says the Jerome Re porter. The system he has put to the test is simplicity itself, involving nothing more than a knowledge that carbonic oxyd extinguishes combus- tion. It seems that one equivalent of carbon combines with two of oxygen; carbonic oxyd gas is made and forced into the place where the fire is con- fined and there takes up a second part of oxygen. When the oxygen is finally exhausted, naturally the fire is extinguished. The fire has been confined behind bulkhead; fur mace was built near it which was con nected by iron pipes through which it was intended to force carbonic oxyd gas. The apparatus was built and put in operation but the pipes became so heated it was found neces- sary to tear them away and put smaller ones in; trough was built around the new pipe and filled with water. This work was completed Tuesday and it will answer the pur- pose it was intended. Handling car bonic oxyd gas is dangerous, It being fatal alike to combustion and animal life. It is needless to add that the big fresh air pumps are kept at work supplying the fire brigade with pure air. It is said that enough air is be- ing sent down to the men to remove all suspicion of mine gas.
 When this trouble is remedied, if one may judge by the preparation being made at the shelter, work at the United Verde will be carried on on a larger scale than ever before. The smelter has been equipped for some time with six 250-ton furnaces, four of which were usually kept at work. No. 1 has been torn out to make room for a 500-ton furnace, which is to be followed by another of the same size. This will make neces- sary additional converters, a larger force of miners and roast men-in fact, increase the pay roll handsomely.

account in connection with low grade
 ore. He has made many remarkable
 tests. One sample of ore from the
 Mover mine gave results, according
 to regular assays, of .12 of an ounce
 of gold, which would make the value
 of the ore $40. MT. Neubarth ex-
 tracted enough gold out of the sam
 pie to make the ore worth S171.
 Other tests were made on ore show
 ing but trace of gold which gave
 results of S60 ton. Mir. Neubarth carries on experiments without any apparatus, simply reducing the ore to a powder and subjecting it to the action of chemicals. His theory is very much like that of Prof. Wynn. That is, that the gold is obtained from a liquid or oily form of the metal. MT. Neubarth stands high and does not make any attempt to deceive the public. Consequently the discovery is considered here to be remarkable and has created quite a sensation.
 The Wickenburg News Herald has received wire from George E. Sand CTS, saying that George B. Upton and himself had purchased the entire Arizona interests of c. Frank Hatha- way, the most important of which is large interest in the Angel and Ari- zona Bess mines near here. The newly acquired stock with that al ready held by George E. Sanders, will give Sanders and Upton a con- trolling interest, we believe. The paper also says: We believe the Bess to be the best partially devel- oped mine in this section and believe that further development will make a big mine out of it. From the show ing made during the past few days it is very possible that the old Vulture may soon have nearby neighbor which will make it seem like old times in that vicinity.
 Ed Block yesterday made another visit to the First Home mine of the Merchants Mining company and says that it continues to look in fine con- dition. While, as formerly stated, they have not been able to sink on the ore shoot of free gold ore for merly encountered, they are finding more free gold as the drift progresses and the indications are very favorable.
 J. A. Conlee has taken a bond on the Olden group of mines, near the Model mine in Peoples valley. There are three claims in the group and they have over POO feet of develop ment work already done, all the open ings being in good ore. Mir. Conlee has arranged for the erection of ten stamp mill, and will commence work putting it up within thirty days. He has an abundance of wood and water and with the abundance of ore al- ready in sight he has all the reoui- sites for success.
