FURTHER DETAILS
OF THE MURDER
Indications Point to a Care
full Carrying Out of
a Plot.

oHoSi VI ehS LdIl IL IdLullY,
another dark page was added to-
day and shows the premeditated
plot of the assassin. The body
of L. S. EARL, the husband and
father was found this morning
in a decomposed condition in a
ditch covered with straw and his
throat cut.
What prompted this diabolical
deed is a mystery Mr.. Earl
was an inoffensive man, conser
vative, good citizen and congen-
ial neighbor. That the plot was
premediated is supported by the
fact that Ward Earll's house, in
which he was shot,is mile from
the home of his father. The
bodies of his mother and the four
children were piled in heap, the
mothers body having been
thrown ON top Of the children in
the bedroom of Wards house.
At the p. S. Earll home things
presented the appearance of
sudden leaving, as if in answer
to a summons of distress. From
the sewing machine hurg some
work Mrs. EARL was finishing;
close by was Mr.. Earll's glasses
resting on the papers he had
been reading. Near this, on the
floor, were the cards where the
children had been. amusing them
selves. The conclusion here is
that Ward Earl was murdered
first, then Mr.. Earl was summon
ed by the friend to Wards
house and killed before reaching
there; then in turn was Mrs.
EARL called to go to her sons
house, followed lastly by the
helpless children. No blood, or
very little, was found on the floor.
The cut threats were bound up
strongly to stop the blood flow.
No signs are noticeable of any
struggle, but that all fell easy
victims to the plot.
How long the bodies would
have lain without discovery is an
unsolved problem had not P. W.
Daniels received a wire from
Lake Charles to the effect man
there representing himself as

Mr.. Daniels took to Miss Maud

down at Globe. Considering tie low price of copper, this is not a surprise. The last annual state ment of the Old Dominion com pany showed that it cost the com pany 12 cents per pound to make copper, and the market is now be- low that point It is now ques- tion of the survival of the fittest. All companies that cannot make copper at present prices, must shut down, and many of them will not resume in many years. In this way the supply of copper will be regulated to suit the demand. The Clifton Morenci district has noth- ing to fear, as copper IS made cheaper here than at any other camp in the territory. When Cliff ton shuts down there will be no copper made in the southwest.
 Mohave Miner: At the Orc Plata mine quite number Of men are at work. On the upper tunnel level the drift is being driven in on the new vein, and the breast is now in ore that shows up great in native and ruby silver. About one foot of this ore will run away up in the hundreds of ounces to the ton and carries considerable value in gold, while the balance will make good milling product. At the bottom workings the stump is being cleaned and drifts run ahead. The ore in this part of the mine shows good milling value and the veins are big and strong. Tests recently made on the ores from the property gave a good result by concentration.

MINING NEWS.

the OtdnudTu DntlbluS N hChiiiHB Co.,, at Val Verde, was started up last Monday and is working most satisfactorily. The stamps weigh 900 pounds each. The concentrat- ing plant is equipped with double rolls and one Frenvanner, and other up to date appliances for the general treatment of ores. The capacity of the plant is 80 tons a day.
 Prescott Courier: Ben Blanchard, of the Iron King group, her Mayer, was in town Monday. He was &C., companied by the Swafford Bros, Kansas City merchants and bank CTS, who are interested in the prop erty. Fifty-five of the leading busi- ness people of New York city are also interested in the group. A l0- stamp mill and a 50-ton per day cyanide plant are to be placed on the mines. The properties are showing up splendidly.
 Mohave Miner: Walter Brown and A. H. Smith this week visited their mining propertyin the Walla- pei mountains and took many sam ples of the ores. They report that water is as yet very scarce, but that the indications are good for big supply later in the season. The springs shows but small amount of seepage although it has rained extensively all through the noun tains. They will defer work on the property until later in the season.
 Clifton Copper Era. P. F. Crow ley who recently made a strike of rich ore on the Antetam, near Met calf, was in town Monday, and re- ports that he now has pack train of fifty burros carrying ore from his mine to the Metcalf incline. In two shifts two men took fifteen tons of ore which will average 2S per cent copper, $S gold and $7 in sil- yer. MT. Crowley will push the development work as fast as possi- ble. The ore is being shipped to the A. c. Co. for treatment.
 Clifton Copper Era: T. o. Phil lips and Harry Densmore, of Dun- can, spent yesteeday in Clifton. These gentlemen are interested in new strike made at Poverty Flat, which runs 7S ounces in gold, 55 ounces in silver and s per centcop- per. They are developing the prop erty, and will soon have shipment of ore ready for the market. The only trouble with the property is that the pay streak is very narrow, but is expected to widen out as depth is obtained. It would not take much of that ore to satisfy most men.
 Clifton Copper Era: A solid train load of copper passed over the A. x N. M. Monday, it being the first regular freight train over the new extension from Lordsburg to Ha- chita, where connection is made with the El Paso & Southwestern. Fifteen cars of the copper came from Clifton and seven from Mo- renci, making twenty-two cars in all, averaging thirty tons each, 660 tons, or 1,320,000 pounds, ship ment of which any camp may well | feel proud. At 10 cents per pound this one shipment is worth $132,000. | Nothing slow about Clifton and Morenci.

The manliness Captain Charles f.
