M0HAvE MINING NEWS.
ChIoride's New Shelter an Assured Fact and is Expected to Blow In
 About June |.

Chloride, Ariz, April 3.-(Special Correspondence )-News has been re- ceived here from San Francisco that the machinery for the new smelter that is to be built here by the Vulcan Smelling and Refining company of that city will soon be shipped. The new plant is to be installed near the depot of the A. & U. railroad, a mile west of this city, site and situation making it convenient for water and ores. It is the object of the company at the head of the enterprise to have it in operation by the first of June.
 The late strike of a new and rich body of Ore in the SchuyIkill mine is as good as when first opened up. The ore is worth several hundred ounces silver to the ton, it presenting a bright ruby red with occasional spots and patches through the lead.
 The Tennessee mire will resume operations again in few days, after a close down of about two months. The mine is being worked by a good force of miners, but will be increased simultaneously with the starting up of the mill. There is now a large tonnage of ore on the dump for the mill to begin with.
 John Barry is expected in from California any day, when it is his in tention to place about fifty men at work on his Sunrise mine below town. A new steam hoist is at the mine ready for installing for work, and a new boarding and bunk house just completed.
 4 new gasoline steam hoist has just been placed at work at the Lucky Boy mine, and the working force of miners increased proportionately. One car load of ore a week is being shipped since the new hoist was in stalled over the old horse whim, and the next improvements are to be 100-ton concentrating plant.

MRS. P0PE'S DEATH.
It Occurs in Mid Ocean While En Route From Manila With the Remains
 of Her Husband.

Homeward bound from the Philip
 pines with her dead, the heart strings
 of widowed mother snapped under
 the tension of her grief and from out
 in the middle of the Pacific on to a
 home port of her native land she rest
 ed in peace by the side of her soldier
 husband, while their two youngest children were left to the care of
 strangers on shipboard.
 She was the widow of Colonel Ben
 jamin F. Pope, Chief Surgeon of the Department of the Philippines, whose death from Brights disease was re- ported by cable the third week in January.
 On learning of the failing health of her husband Mrs. Pope, a number of months ago. took the two younger children, Mary, aged 8, and Alex, aged 12, and joined her husband in the islands. She was soldiers wife and tried to bear herself as such, but when she saw him growing weaker day by day her own health began to decline under the strain.
 The end came, and, benumbed, she awaited the sailing of the Fitzpatrick that was to carry her and her dead to their old home. They sailed and on March 18th, in midocean, she join ed her husband in his final bivouac. The grief of the two children, left to the care of a nurse, was pitiful, though kind and sympathetic friends of the parents did all in their power to con- sole them.
 The death of Mrs. Pope formed a double bereavement for the two sons and other relatives and friends who awaited the sad home coming. Two sons and party of friends went to quarantine on the tug Slocum to meet the Fitzpatrick and soon learned of the passing away of the devoted wife and mother. She had sailed from Manila on March 1st with the body of her husband and was ac companied by a nurse and Dr. Man ley, whose attendance on Mrs. Pope was necessary owing to her general ill health, resulting from grief and worry over the death of Dr. Pope. The two little children on arrival here were taken in charge by the el- der brothers.
 There are three sons in addition to the two younger children. One of the sons, R. H. Pope, disappeared from the Stanford university on No vember 18th and nothing has since been heard from him. His parents were not informed of his disappear ance-S. F. Chronicle.

PROSPECTIVE OIL FIELDS.
Derrick compIeted-Machinery All at Summit Station or On the Ground, and Boring Will Be Commenced
 Within Two Weeks.

Captain L. D. Phillips, who visited
 Mineral Point district yesterday, says that satisfactory progress is being made in the preparations for boring for oil. The first thing done was the building of a camp, and they have fine camp outfit, everything about it being comfortable.
 The derrick will be completed to- day. The last of the machinery has arrived at Summit station and is be- ing freighted out to the site of where the we'll will be bored and is being placed in position just as rapidly as possible. Capt. Phillips says that if no unforeseen difiulties are experienced the drilling will be commenced with in the next ten days or two weeks.
 The work of locating claims con tinues, and considerable land which has been located is changing hands. Lands within the recognized belt on which the oil indications are found, is being held at as high as 5000 per acre, while the locations outside of this recognized belt is bringing from 5000 per acre down to as low as Sl.00 depending upon the distance it is located away from the belt where the indications are found. The ground is located for several miles away from this belt, and while the surface indications are not found as they are within the above belt the ground may prove just as valuable as the original surface has been covered up, and it is only by boring that determination can be had as to what there is beneath. The strongest feel ing exists among those posted on oil indications that a good volume of oil will be found, while the universal opinion is that artesian water will also be encountered.

Each shaft is equipped with a
 steam hoist and the improvements
 and all tn. work connected with the
 mine are of the same general sub
 stantial character as are noticeable
 about the McCabe Extension.
 The story of the Gopher mine is an
 interesting narrative, going back as
 it does to pioneer days in Arizona
 and involving many incidents of ad-
 venture worthy of frontier romance
 It was purchased by General A. V.
 Kautz in 1873, when he was in com
 mand of the department of Arizona, for a comparatively small sum and held by him for many years as an in vestment. During all this time it was considered silver mine, and was not reguarted as particularly prom ising asset.
 Soon after her husbands death however, Mrs. Kautz received an of fer of S10,0O0 for the property. She refused it, but was led by the circum- stances to send an expert to Arizona to investigate. The expert advised her to hold on to the property; that it gave indications of developing into a valuable free gold quartz mine. Act ing under this advice, Mrs. Kautz laid the matter before her lawyers in Seattle, with the result that the Gopher Mining company, a close cor poration, was formed with a few of her intimate friends, includ- ing prominent army and naval of fcers stationed on Puget sound, as stockholders. In all Mrs. Kautz raised about $45,OOO, which was placed in the hands of practical min CTS for the development of the mine During Gen. Kautz lifetime, owing first to the fact that the mine was in a hostile Indian country and later the low price of silver, the property had not been developed.
 Now comes the most interesting pert of the story. Pending the de- velopment of the mine Mrs. Kautz and family went abroad. Not long after Mrs. Kautz received information | that things were not satisfactory and | she immediately resolved to oversee the development work in person.
 Returning to the United States she proceeded to Arizona, and with her two daughters, Miss Frankie and Miss Navarra Kautz, took up her re- sidence on the claim, where they were the only women remaining there until the transfer to the Me Cabe Extension company.

A FATAL QUARREL
Two Recent Arrivals in Pres colt Engage in a Fight Which Terminates in
 d Murder.
4 Mexican Saloon on Goodwin Street the Scene of the Bloody Tragedy The Muderer in Jail.

A most brutal killing occurred last
 evening in a saloon on Goodwin
 street, presided over by Ramon Cor
 dova. It was the termination of a
 quarrel which commenced on the
 street near the place, the combatants
 retiring to the saloon.
 The man killed was named J. R.
 Ward, who advertised himself as ''the
 homeless sign writer and survivor of the war with Spain" and a Mexican named Simon Alderete, was the man who committed the homicide.
 Ward had been in Prescott only a few weeks, during which time he has been engaged in sign painting, as much as he could secure such work. Alderete arrived in town only a cou- pie of days ago and claimed to have come from Williams, where he had been in the employ of the Perrins, but it is stated that he halls from New Mexico originally. Ward was intoxicated and it is alleged that the Mexican had also been drinking, and they had quarrel on the street, but were separated. They came together again on the street, when the Mexican called Ward liar, and at the same time struck him, when general mix up" between them occurred. In the scuffie Alderete's hat fell to the sidewalk and Ward picked it up and went into the Germania saloon with it. A short time later Alderete ap- peared at the door of this saloon and demanded his hat and it was thrown to him. Alderete at the time had his hand thrust under his coat in front and evidently had his six-shooter clutched in his hand beneath the coat. Alderete then went into Cor dova's saloon and a short time later Ward entered also. As he did so Alderete, who was standing at the bar, drew his gun and opened fire on him. Ward fell to the floor mortally but his assailant, whose thirst for blood seemed aroused, bent over the prostrate man, who was in a death struggle, and beat him on the head and face until Cordova inter- tered and held him until the arrival of the officers.
 His face was beaten up beyond On the arrival-of the officers the Mexican was hustled of l .o jail, and an inquest presided over oy Justice Cornell was held over the body of the victim. The jury re- turned verdict that the deceased J. | R. Ward was about 35 years old and | hat he came to his death from pis- ol shot wound inflicted by Simon AL | ierete and that the death was caused | y criminal means.

Notes From Poland Junction.

Poland Junction, April 5.-(Special Correspondence.)- )-The snow has en- tirely disappeared from the noun tains and mild spring weather pre- vails.
 Roadmaster S. W. Higley was at the camp Tuesday and Wednesday.
 William Reardon has been ap- pointed an assistant foreman.
 The Poland extension of the Brad shaw Mountain railway is being rap idly pushed to completion. There are 125 men laying steel and twenty five men are employed constructing bidges.
 According to the statement of Pat Linskey, the genial foreman of the construction gang of the B. M. rail- way, no man need go hungry or be- come round shouldered packing a roll of blankets these pleasant days. Every man who presents himself, willing to work, he accommodates.
 Assistant Foreman Jim Devany says April l comes but once a year and man must not mind little blood on his boots or a chase after the paymaster, even if bigger fool than himself gets the laugh on him." Jim is good natured fellow, and he is right.
 He has left usl No more will that voice, resembling the far distant tones of a fog horn, awake us from our peaceful slumber, necessitated by a hard days toll, in expounding social istic doctrines and other freak isms. Peter Boyle has gone; so has his hair, and the camp will at last enjoy peace and quietness. \
 General Superintendent and Chief Engineer W. A. Drake, accompanied by his private secretary, s. S. Wal strum, visited the camp today in his private car. Mir. Drake was met at Huron by Jack Jager, assistant en- gineer, and J. A. Cashin of the Grant Bros. grading outfit, and procuring horses went overland to the end of the line. After a thorough and satis- factory inspection of the work already accomplished, which includes about one-half of the proposed extension, Mir. Drake and secretary returned to Prascott in his private car. Conductor McCray making special run for this purpose.
 Miss Frances Bethune of Los An geles, sister of Joe D. Pethune, IT,, the obliging timekeeper Of the con struction crew, accompanied by Miss Criley and Dr. Metzgar, the dentist, both of Prescott, were visitors at the camp last Thursday. The party had an enjoyable time. While their stay was limited to about one and one half hours, they made the most of their brief visit in coursing up and down the side tracks on tine "lcrr, $" automobile, taking snap shots of the numerous Billy" goats with which the hills abound and several other ''goats" that are not afraid of the Billy" species. After partaking of lunch the party took the 12.30 train for Prescott, leaving Joe in remin- iscent mood for the remainder of the day.
 Conductor Brown took the work train into Prescott Saturday night to bring out several loads c. s';el Fora man Linskey also visited th, ctr. -- ,- ing in on the same train. F. D. i.

PEACE SENTIMENT IN
COLOMBIA STRONG
Former Revolutionary Leader Fears
American Troops May Remain
There Forever.

PANAMA, Oct. 25.-The newspapers
here today publish an article written
by DR.. Belizario Porras, the leader of
the first revolutionary expedition by
Gen. Alban, the then commander-in
chief of the Colombian forces in 1899.
DR.. Porras proposes that representa-
tives Of the government and the revo-
lutionists form a peace commission,
which will decide the conditions for
the surrender Of the Liberals. He
says the success of the military oper-
ations Of Gen. Herrera, the revolution
ary commander, is very doubtful, and
therefore the prolongation of the war
is crime monstrous without preee-
dent. He also wants his partisans- to
know him as a sincere advocate of
peace, although he had been one of
the principal promoters of the war on
the 1sthmus.
After the defeat of the revolutionists
in July, 1900, DR.. Porras adds, he arm
ed guerrilla bands in the interior, thus
making possible the battle of Aqua
Dulce. But today he fears that the
landing of American troops in Colom-
bia may result in their remaining in
the country forever. He warns Colom-
bians of the supposed danger Of
American intervention in Colombia ow-
ing to the prolongation of the war.
This article of DR.. Porras indicates
that the peace sentiment is powerful
in the republic.

CHILDISH CONDUCT
OF AN AMERICANIST
Mexican Delegate Leaves the Congress
Because His Work Is Not
Appreciated.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-At today's
session of the Congress of Americanists
it became known that message had
been received from the Mexican gov
ernment recalling SLeopoldo Batres, one
Of the five members of the COMMITTEES
representing Mexico There is the
result of a scene on Wednesday last
when, in an address, Alfredo Chavero,
president of the Mexican commission,
paid a high compliment to the Amer
lean, M H. Saviile, of the Museum of
Natural History, for his work In con-
nection with theA eXeavating done at
the two buriedFcities Of Militia and
Monte Aleban. At that, M. .Batres
Jumped to his feet aud aexcitedly
and not to Mr.. Sayille. Since then M.
Chavero has not attended the sessions
of the congress The congress decided
to meet in 1904 at Stuttgart, Germany.
The presiding officer today was
Jonkkerr J. L. Van Panhuys, delegatae
of The Netherlands, who read a paper
on the contact of the Dutch with the
new world. He declared that in his
opinion the word "Catskills''' about the
origin of which there has been much
dispute, was probably taken from the
name of the well known Dutch states
man of the period of the Dutch occu-
patton named Kaats. He told of the
story that leg of Peter sStuyvesant
the famous governor OF New Amster-
dam, was now in the Island of Cura-
Gao. Cape Horn, he said, probably
came from the name HOGAN, a mem
Der Of which family was famous
navigator.
DR.. M. H. Sa7ilie, Prof. Putnam and
DR.. Boas We're appointed a committee
to prepare the report of the congress.
The congress was formally declared
closed. Monday the delegates will
start on their Western trip Chicago,
