MINING NOTES.

An enterprise of no small importance is about to be undertaken at Greater vile. The camp now has about sixty men at work on the extensive placer fields. but operations have been ham pered by lack Of water. The company is now considering plans for an enOr- nous dam in one of the numerous can yons near their workings. The con- struction of this storage dam will cost in the neighborhOod of S250.0O0. It would furnish an abundance of water for the diggings, and would undoubt- edlv make Greaterville a big camp Citizen.
 A party of gentlemen, come twenty five in number. arrived last evening from the east in a special car. under the guidance of w. E. Watson. of To- ronto.

A Good Word for Morgan.

Walter Wellman was in Washington when the coal strike was settled and d readable article is contributed by him to the Review of Reviews on the sub ject. It is Mir Wellman's opinion that MT. Morgan never appeared so large as he did during that week.
 We may we'll believe MT. Wellman when he says that the money in the coal business was not an element in the situation as MT. Morgan saw it. But" he adds, The did care for the prestige and fame as a conservator of industrial peace; he did care for his re- sponsibility as a trustee of good inter ests; millions of men, and millions of money demanded of him action and wisdom. He had his way, and it was the right way. Steel trust, nor ship ping trust. nor any other triumph in the field of finance, will ever reflect so much honor upon MT. Morgan as this Unselfish and patriotic achivement,"
 We believe that well informed and justice loving persons throughout the country will accept this view without hesita ton. There is a great deal of talk about how wrong it is that so much power should be concentrated in the hands of one private person, but however that may be, no one who has watched the progress of events in this country for the past five years can free himself from prejudice, will deny that MT. Morgan is playing the part of an honest, generous, patriotic Christian citizen.-Syracuse Post-Standard.

CANANEA JAIL BREAK
Two Americans Save Their Lives by a
 Bold Play.

Two Americans who have been con- fined in the Mexican jail at Cananea, and who were to be shot today by the Mexican authorities, knocked down the jailer the day following the recent min or jail delivery and made good their es- cape across the border into the United States, says the Bisbee Review.
 M. F. Syer and his companion, a man named O'Brien, returned from that camp last night and told a few facts Of the daring and successful break for lih- erty by the condemned men, who were incarcerated behind the dismal walls of a Mexican dungeon. As near as they could learn it happened about as fol- lows:
 About 2 o'clock in the afternoon a party whose name is unknown entered the jail with meals for the unfortunate men and as the jailer went to deliver it to them, he unlocked the door and started to enter. With a rush the des- perate prisoners, who by the decree Of the Mexican court were to die within a few short hours, overpowered the guard, seized his gun and after admin istering a severe beating to that un- lucky official, showed him none to gent ly into their own cell, locking the door behind them. Then they hastily eff fected their exit and made good their escape.
 The Mexicans were thunderstruck at the audiences and daring of the move and knowing the fugitives to be armed, were reluctant in giving chase and there is little hope for the execution planned taking place in the very near future.

of stagecraft. One minute it makes you laugh and at another time one feels like crying for the man who had committed murder and who is confront ed by his victim in the last act. This scene is one of the strongest in action that has ever been witnessed on any stage in Denver. Of course, the crim- inal confesses to his guilt and every thing ends happily just before the final curtain falls. The play has a liberal amount of comedy in it. just enough to make one or two scenes extremely Imaginable. It tells a powerful story and the other numerous incidents that take place all go to make up a most pleasing play "The Silver Dagger" was written by Mark F. Swan and the mystery that runs all through the play is based on a murder committed. One would think that from the title it was of strictly melodramatic type, but such is not the case. as the author has interwoven a beautiful story that s full of heart interest and intensity. The company that is presenting this piece have been especially engaged for their peculiar fitness for the roles that have been assigned ii them"

TOMBSTONE NATIONALITY.
A Contest on That May End in the
 District Court.

The first round of the city election contest was held in the rear room of the city hall, at Tombstone, this after noon when A. H. Emanuel filed re- quest for a recount of the returns as turned in by the election board which showed that Wentworth, his opponent for mayor, had been successful by two votes, says the Bisbee Review. The council recounted the votes this after noon and the result was LIS for Eman- uel and 120 for Wentworth. There was a lively discussion over the admission of two of the ballots. although admis- sion or rejection could not affect the re- suit. as one was for each contestant. On one ballot the voter had written the name of Wentworth, In the democratic column, which plainly showed his in- tention to vote for him, while on the other one, the voter had put cross be- low the name of Emanuel instead of in the square to the left of the name.. After considerable argument on both sides, Attorney Gibson for Emanuel and Frank Goodbody for Wentworth, the votes were counted as the voter evidently intended. Not being satisfied with the recount Gibson and Emanuel

Stewart, was challenged on election day on these grounds, but his vote was sworn in. The scene in the room at times was exciting and very amusing to those few who happened to be present. f la x-ad and when he councilmen. who repre- sent the following nationalities, Ire land. England, Switzerland and the United States, took part, is was ex- ceedingly interesting, besides three at torneys and two contesting mayors taking part. The council will probably announce the result of the elction on Saturday afternoon and should the re- suit be against Emanuel, which the re- count shows. the matter will be carried into the district court.

DEAD IN A WELL
A Ghastly Discovery in Wickenbure
 Yesterday Morning.

A man was found dead in the we'll of o'clock yesterday morning. His feet were sticking above the water, which was not very deep. Several persons had been at the we'll earlier in the morning. for it is a sort of public we'll Nobody had been able to get any water, and the well was so deep that they could not see the obstruction in the way of the bucket. It was known though that something was in the well. and an investigation disclosed the body of the dead man.
 He was recognized as Kendall D. Fordes, who had been engaged in min ing about Wickenburg and the Castle Creek country for the last two years. He had come to town on Tuesday on his way to Prescott to attend court He got drunk and missed the train. so he continued his debauch. He was last seen alive about II o'clock on Tuesday night. A coroner's inquest was held. at which it was decided that he had accidentally fallen into the well.
 Fordes was also known about Wick cnburg by the name of Harry Parker. He was about forty-five years old and had come west from Portland, Me. where a sister by the name of Mrs. w w. Mitchell resides. Fordes was grad uated from the law department of liar ward university and was a brilliant man when he was sober. He was given though to incorporate drinking, and was generally drunk whenever he could obtain whisky.

Why Girls Prefer Shop to House
 keeping.

The Wisconsin state labor bureau has been collecting reasons why girls pre- fer work in factories and stores to household service. Inquiries were sent to 769 persons. Among the answers were these:
 If ladies would only give girls better rooms, kinder treatment and warmer beds and let them live independently more girls would do homework.
 ''I went into the factory because I wished to be treated like human be- ing
 The reason I won't do homework is because I will not be treated like half slave and always a nobody"
 T love hOusework but like the host of other girls. I refuse to do it under present conditions"
 None of the girls I know would do housework, because a girl who does 1t is always lOked upon as a kitchen drudge, always on duty and seldom treated justly"
 T am treated better in the factory in every way, and, besides, I am no longer obliged to entertain in the kitchen or receive my friends at the back door, since l can live at home with my own people"
 There is no sign in these replies of an insistence on the part of servants that they be regarded as members of the family They desire as little to in trude on other circles as they wish for intrusion upon their own. But they complain justly when the fact of social distinctions is thrust upon them with bald brutality. The Wisconsin answers which would probably be good for any other state, suggest that upon the un- tactful mistress of the house lies q large burden of responsibility for "the servant-girl problem as it is.-New York World.

SINKING BEGUN
Big Pumps Running at Tombstone and
 New Work Started.

The big pumps at Tombstone have had the steam turned into them them and within the present week will begin the pumping of water from the 62O- foot level to the surface of the new shaft that was recently sunk by the Consolidated Mines company, says the Bisbee Review. The large triple expansion Prescott pump has been firmly set on the station cut out on the 6OO=foot level and when the steam was turned on a few days ago the parts moved like clockwork. The pump has capacity of 1 700 gallons per minute and is expected to lift 14-inch column from the 6OO-ioot level to the surface.
 The two 6-inch Prescott duplex sink ing pumps are in place and one of them Is already al work pumping the water from the bottom of the shaft, 630 feet to the 6Q0-foot level. Three eight hour shifts are now at work sinking the shaft, marking the first effort to go be- low the water level. The shifts were put to work on. Wednesday and eight men are employed in the shaft which is the largest in the territory, being eight by twenty-eight feet. The com pany is getting ready to make other
