THE BLACK DIAMOND
A Cochise Co smtlter Ready for Work
 on Completion of Tramway.

J. G. Hearne, director and vice president of the Black Diamond Mir- ing company in the Dragoon mount aims, not far from Tombstone. was in the city yesterday en route to Jerome. From there he expects to go east on business. Mir. Hearne is also in charge of the business of the Black Diamond Improvement company which owns the t0wnsite, runs the hotel, opera tes the store in the camp and fosters other en- terprises for it betterment.
 MT. Hearne says the new smelter, which is of 200 tons capacity, is about completed. A good force of men is employed in the mine. There is but one ether large enterprise in connection with the plant that Is delaying the re duction of ores and that is a gravity tramway connecting the mine and smelter to be used in transferring the ore. That will be a mile and a half long and will be finished in a few weeks so it is expected the smelter will be started within the next two months. The Black Diamond mine is a tunnel mine and is situated about 800 feet higher up the mountain than the smelt- CT. The tramway will run from the lower of the. four principal tunnels. which are all connected by winzes. so the ore will travel mainly by gravity

from the stope to the furnace. There is a depth of roo feet between the upper tunnel and the lower one, so there is a large stoping area.
 The railroad station nearest the Black Diamond at present Is Cochise on the Southern Pacific, but it is now pretty well assured that the Southern Pacific will build south from Cochise to connect with the Cacanea raildcad at Naco, in which event the new line will pass within five miles of the Black Diamond. The railroad will gid in opening up a good mining district, for there are already a number of promis- ing properties in the Dragons, many of them that might safely be termed proved mines.

 Not far from the Last Chance is the property Of the Derby Mining company organized and incorporated by George U. Young, formerly of the Williams News. It is a strong conservative com pany and a close corporation With no stock ter sale. A look over the ground shows the chief development to be in two shafts, 110 and 100 feet .espectiVa- ly. The north shaft has d depth of no rect on a four foot ledge Of oXidized quartz which assays from sample SEQ to S22 per ton. Three thousand feet south of this shaft another shaft has been sunk to a depth of 100 feet on four feet of ledge matter, with pay streak about two feet wide of good sulphide ore which has given assays running from $26 to SPA per ton. At the foot of this shaft a crCsscut has been driven for thirty feet across the ledge without finding any wall, showing that the ledge is widening with depth in a won derful manner. This company is or ganized on a strong financial basis. and MT.

DIR. j. WESLEY MARTIN.

DIR. J. Wesley Martin was born near
Huntsville, Madison county, Ala. Sep
tember %, 1921, aud died at his resi-
dence in Brookhaven, Miss, Jan. %.
1902, having reached the ripe age of
more than 8Oyears. He was one of six
children, three sous and three daugh-
ters, of Peter Martin and Sarah Griffin
When ten years of age he moved with
the family to South Alabama, where
he attended school until he entered
the Southern University. At the age
of seventeen he began the study of
medicine in the office of Fempster &
Moore, celebrated physicians in North
Alabama. Here he remained until he
was twenty One years old, when he en-
tered wholesale drug store in Mo
bile where he spent five years, first as
clerk and then as general manager.
Then after spending one year farming,
during which time he married and lost
his wife, he entered the Louisville
Medical College, graduating in 1S49.
He began the practice of medicine in
East Texas in l849. Thence be went
to Shreveport, La, then to Logansport,
when in 1861 be came to Brookhaven,
where he spent the remainder of his
long and useful life. In 1860 he was
associated with Whitworth College as
physician, aud continued in this rela-
ton almost uninterruptedly until the
summons of God came, calling His
servant to come up higher.
DR.. Martin was consistent member
of the Methodist church, having Joined
when sixteen years old. He loved his
church and spent the best efforts of
his life in her service. He filled some
of the most important offices in the
gift of his church, being Sunday
School Superintendent for more than
30 years, and a steward at the time OF
his death. 1t would be impossible to
say how much we shall miss him in
the church and community, where fol
so many years he has adorned the
doctrines" of his Savior and sus
tanned so faithful a life. He was a
resourceful physician, an exemplary
citizen, a courtly gentleman, ire
proachable in character, and a sincere
Christian. His life, so abounding in
its charities, SO tender in its sympa
thies, so unselfish in its devotion, SC
pure in its motives, so lofty in its
ideals and so persistent in it's loyalty
to rectitude and God, is a rich heri
tage. No one has ever gone from us
whom we more tenderly loved or more
universally mourn. May the God of
our fathers whom he trusted, the
secret of his own eminently useful and
beautiful life, and who graciously sus,
tanned him in his last hours, be the
refuge and strength of his sorrowing
friends and loved ones.

JOHN SASSER TO HANG.
To be Executed at BrOokhaven
Tuesday, March 11th, Says
the Supreme Court.

On Monday the Supreme Court af
firmed the decision of the lower court
in the ease of john Sasser, convicted
at the last May term of the Lincoln
Circuit Court for the murder of Tom
Lard in Brookhaven last January. In
delivering the opinion of the Court,
Judge Terrell said nothing had been
discovered in the record which entitled
Sasser to a new trial and Tuesday,
March IL, was fixed as the day for his
execution. Two other murderers were
also sentenced by the Court to hang on
March n,-Jake Gilmore, of Jones
county, and Calvin Wells, of Monroe
county.
On account of the peculiarly afro
cious murder of Tom Lard and Sas-
ser's previous bad reputation, the de-
cision of the Supreme Court has been
received with feeling of general sat
isfaction and relief by the people of
Brookhaven and Lincoln county.

Double Tracking of the 1. &. Now Active
Iy Under Way.
Brookhaven's freight depot, which
means the new, spacious and conve-
nient establishment on the east side of
the railroad erected within the last
year for the purpose of handling the
big and constantly increasing loads
of business that are dumped off in this
city, has recently witnessed change
in its list of employees as follows w.
j. Helmick, formerly of the Gulf &
Ship Island, is now agent; G. E. Teu-
Nilsson, formerly of the G. & S. l., but
a native Lawrence county boy, is chief
clerk; Miss Emma Bee, who through
years of patient toll has thoroughly es-
tablished herself with the |. c., still
holds the responsible position of CASH
ier, while Willie Cook is yard clerk,
Miss Alice Anding, abstract clerk, and
G. H. McElroy, formerly of Green
wood, is foreman of the warehouse.
Mr.. McElroy is the first white foreman
the depot has had.
The passenget depot has been moved
west several feet to make room for the
double-tracking of the |. c., work upon
which has begun at Hammond, at
Crystal Springs and other points. The
contract for this big job of double
tracking all the way from Chicago to
New Orleans, has been let to G.. d.
Smith q Co, of Birmingham, who sub
let, by the mile, to competent aspi-
rants for the employment, along the
way. Some of the machinery for the
specified work has arrived in this city,
and the whole distance to the Crescent
City is expected to be completed on
the near approach of summer. This
will add greatly to railroad facilities
and is welcome engineering feat to
this part of the country.
Mr.. c. F. Schaub, of Memphis, is now
night telegraph operator. He is a
young man, but an expert at his bust
ness, we are told by our accommodate
ing passenger depot agent, Mr. H. C.
Mills. Miss Addie Harvey holds her
old position as day operator.
l.. L. Dagron, formerly roadmaster
of the Louisiana Division of the |. c.
has begun the survey of the new road
from the gravel pit to the gulf coast
via Monticello. Robert Moreton, who
has recently entered the employ of the
l. c. in its engineering department, is
connected with this important and

IGNORANT OF HIS DOOM.

The Clarion Ledger of Tuesday says ::
John J.. Sasser, the noted Lincoln
county outlaw, double murderer and
participant in scores of lesser crimes,
still occupies a cell in the Kinds
county Jail and is blissfully ignorant
of the fact that he is to be hanged by
the neck until dead on the 18th day of
March.
Furthermore, unless his relatives in
sist on conveying the information,
Sasser will not be notified that the
supreme court has declared that he
must die until ten days before the date
set for the execution.
Newspaper men who called at the
Jail this morning to discuss the un
pleasant fate with Sasser and to secure,
if possible, confession of his crimes,
were denied admission. The denial
was in polite terms, but nevertheless
it was firm. Jailer Armstrong said:
81 will not let anybody see Sasser,
nor do l intend to tell him that he is
to be hanged. He is giving us enough
trouble now. For some time he has
been fractions and impatient, and he
seems to realize his impending fate.
Instead of it having desirable effect
it seems to make him furious, and | am
afraid it is undermining his health.
81 have studied the man since he has
been here, and he will not need great
length of time in which to make his
preparation to die. He can get just as
ready within ten days as he could if he
would commence now.
81 have decided to wait until his
father or some other near relative
comes to jackson and they can tell
him if they want to, but l do not in
tend to do so.'

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 27, 1902.
State Superintendent of Education
Whitfield has mandamus case on his
hands, which may possibly delay the
distribution of the school money The
case comes up from Lincoln county,
and three trustees of the school, To-
Gated at what is known as Pearlhaven,
saw mill suburb of Brookhaven, are
going to mandamus the State superin-
tendent of education to try and compel
him to pay over to the treasurer of the
county certain sum of money for the
school located there. The facts in the
case are that in 1900 there was no
school there at all, but since that time
one has been organized, and the asses
sor of the county took special emu
meration of the children in that
district, and the same was certified to
the State superintendent. Superin-
tendent Whitfield takes the position
that no enumeration has been author
ized by law and that Pearlhaven is not
entitled to any of the distribution.
There are about three hundred chill
dren in the school there, and they are
laying the claim to sl.4l per head for
each child. Superintendent Whitfield
turned down their request to partici
pate in the distribution, and he re-
ceived notice this morning that the
case would be carried into court, and
it is expected that the mandamus
papers will be filed either this after
noon late or tomorrow morning.
