Monroe Smith. white man, has been lying perfectly stiff as if in a fit since Tuesday afternoon. when he made an eff fort to escape from the street guard, but was caught after lively chase As soon as he was caught Smith became rigid and has been in that condition ever since. He was examined yesterday by City Physician Whelan who will not say the man is shamming but he has ordered him carried to the Southside and put to work. He will be taken over this morning in the patrol wagon and an ef- fort made to put him to work.
 It seems that several ladies on the Southside saw the attempt to escape and e-%-~-~~<~~<>-<<-s- at the Eighteenth and Twentieth street crossings.
 John w. Tomlinson: believe we should have some protection for the public and that gates should be put at all the cross ings. A viaduct over the Twentieth and Eighteenth street crossings would be a good thing.
 Thad Mullin, Chief of the Fire Depart ment Not having gates at the crossings has come very near killing or dangerous ly wounding me several times. Once a wheel of my wagon ran over the cow catcher of an engine, and another time, when was driving rapidly, was forced to turn into a post to prevent being run over.
 II. H. sinnige: I am most assuredly in favor of gates. I think citizens should be given all protection possible.
 Oliver Chalifoux: There should be gates at all the railroad crossings. In every city of Birmingham size and larger, gates are used at every street where tracks cross. There should be no further delay here about this matter. The city council should pass an ordi- nance compelling the railroads to install gates"
 Council Should Act.

Several hundred people assembled yes- terday at noon in one of the large lecture rooms of the new building of the Br- mingham Medical college to witness the opening exercises of the institution. A large number of ladies were present.
 The exercises were opened with prayer by Dr. Robinson, president of the North Alabama Conference college at Owenton.
 Dr. B. L. Wyman, dean of the insttu- ton, in a few words welcomed those present and introduced Dr. w. E. B. Da- wis, who spoke at some length. His ad- dress was listened to with close atten- tion and he was frequently interrupted by applause from his hearers.
 In speaking of the Hillman hospital and the medical college Dr. Davis said: This institution should be a source of great pride to all. We can well boast of one of the most modern and complete hospitals in the country. It Is a means of education as well as a place for the sick. Surely an institution so worthy should receive the moral support of this city and district. and speak advisedly when I state that I believe it will have every possible assistance"
 Other Addresses.
 Dr. Davis was followed by Dr. R. M. Cunningham of Ensley, who took occa- sion to highly compliment the ladies who

ASKS $500 DAMAGES.
Plaintiff Claims Telegraph Company
 Did Not Deliver Telegram.

A suit against the Western Union Tel egraph company was filed in the circuit court yesterday by Dave Mason, who seeks to obtain from the company $500 for the alleged non-delivery of a tele- gram on the 27th of August, this year.
 The complaint made by the plaintiff in the suit is that telegram was sent to the father of his wife upon the occasion of her death and that it was not deliv- cred. It is claimed that the father of the woman did not hear of the death of his daughter until several days after she was buried. That on this account, due to the non-delivery of the telegram, plaintiff was deprived of having his father-in-law and family at the burial.
 The alleged telegram was sent from Blossburg to Patton.

MINING NOTES.

President and General Manager Will liam D. Powell. of the Black Rock Gold and Copper Ming company. came in rem the company's group of properties near Jerome. last evening. He reports that a working shaft being sunk on the Ontario mine of this group has run into a ledge-of high grade gold. silver and copper ore at depth of seventy feet. The vein is five feet and eight inches wide: drifts are being run each way. The shaft will be sunk deeper and two levels run. Copper predominates in the ore. The showing is said to be much better than was made at the same depth in the Verde. The water in the workings is so strongly impregnated with copper that it burns the hands of the miners. MT. Powell came in to meet some members of the company who are due from the east.-Prescott Courier.
 With MT. Giroux's return much is expected at the Iron King It is gen. orally known that surveys have been made to locate a shelter; these sur veys have been submitted to Mir Cir ouX, who went to the Iron King today to make final arrangements to com mence work. A tramway will be built from the mine to the shelter, which will be about one mile long. Houses for the mine and men are to be built roads constructed and other improve ments. undertaken which will give en- ployment to many men.-Reporter.
 The big hoist mentioned in the Jour nal-Miner the other day as being ireighted to a mine south of town. was fer the Cash mine. Another horse Dad of machinery left Prescott today for the same mine. This was part of the same hoist also.
 J. A. Conlee has four men at work on group Of mines seven miles west of town. near the Hurricane group of mines. They are in good ore and MT. Conlee hopes to be able to ship two or three car loads of good grade ore very socn. He says that district is coming to the front, there being considerable development work in progress and the properties are showing up we'll.

more week of single -blessedness for the editor of this paper. A young woman has consented to take our name and share with us the burdens and joys of life. She is Miss Elsie Kitzmiller, youngest daughter of Mrs. Lavina Kitzmiller. Her father was Frank Kitzmiller, a veteran of the civil war
 who died one. year ago. The time set for the ceremony is next Wednesday at o'clock in the afternoon at the home of Mrs. Kitzmiller. A number of friends have been invited-but not nearly all. The house would not hold one-third of all those we should have been pleased to see present. (This is not the editorial we've having as stunned new significance). But there will be enoguh, we hope, to fill the house and see that the job is well done. There will be no attendants. We will be the whole show. There will be no tears-every one will be glad to see us (editorial us) finally married. This will be a happy, handsome couple. the handsomeness being contributed by the other half. No ones life is complete who lives alone. No. of course not. To develop into a surely. grabbed, soul shriveled old bachelor, or dwindle away an old maid full of vinegar and fool

Mines and Minerals .

Work Resumed on a We'll Known
 Jerome Property.
THE DECATUR COMPANY

There is much good news to record this week regarding mining in this dis trict, says the Jerome News. and prom inent among the best is the fact that w. s. owen, superintendent of the De- catur Mining company's properties, both in the Jerome copper district and in the Mineral Pont gold district, re- ceived telegraphic instructions from the company's headquarters in Deca- tur, H., to at once commence opera tions on the Decatur group. A force Of miners has been put at work driving the drift at the Z72foot level in the main shaft on the group toward the two large veins from which some very rich ere has been taken from near the surface. One oi these veins is un- doubtedly the same vein which crosses the Brookshire or Treadwell property, and from which ledge that company is now sacking shipping ore, the Deca- tur property being located on the north end of the Brookshire the ledge on that property being easily traced through the Decatur group. Besides those two large veins they have some smaller ones which they expect to cut at depth enough to show up a fine body of high grade ore.
 Superintendent Owen has also receiv- ed a letter firm Secretary George R. Bacon confirming the telegram and has lest no time in preparing for the work which at this writing is well under way. MT. owen says it is the inten- tion of the company to push the work day and night untilits promising group is fully developed.
 To say that the News is pleased to see this old reliable company begin work in earnest again would be put ting it in light form. The Decatur was one, in fact the very first company, 10 put in machinery fer development purposes on the mineral belt south of Jerome. While they have moved very slowly thus far, every move has been one that will count when the mine be- comes a producer, and they have no doubt profited by not going faster, as they will now have the benefit of the results attained by their neighbcrs, which have been so satisfactory as to cause the company to take renewed courage.

to meddle in the controversy, but when his department directs him he simply does what he is told to do. He says he is not prepared to deny the viola tions alleged of some Indians, and that if they have done wrong they should be prosecuted but he believes they feel that they have a right there through the direction of the agent at San Car los, and personally he does not think there is danger of violence, as they come to him repeatedly, almost with tears in their eyes, asking him to do something for them. He invariably re- plies that it is out of his jurisdiction and he has nc powers in the matter.

SUCCESSFUL MINING MAN.
Col. Thomas Ewing of Los Angeles
 Visiting Central Arizona.

Colonel Thomas Ewing. president of of Los Angeles, and one of the most prominent mining men in the south west, spent a few hours in Prescott en route toWickenburg on mining business and was a very welcome caller at this office, says the Journal Miner. He was accompanied by w. P. Gilbert, prom inent mining man of Salt Lake City Colonel Ewing is enc of AriZona's most enthuiastic friends and has been one of it's most successful mining operat- ors. Kingman papers recently an- nounced the sale by him to a wealthy eastern syndicate of the Leland group of mines in Mohave county for $500. 900. When asked about it Colonel Ewing admitted that such was the fact. He said that property had been his pet and he had intended keeping it and working it himself, but the offer of the above syndicate was such a flat tering enc that he concluded to let it go. although he says that it is worth all that was paid for it. Within sixty days from the time negotiations were started. the company had made a complete examination of the property and paid the entire purchase price. MT. Gilbert was the promoter of the sale.
 The new company will build a mill cn the Santa Fe railroad, at the Need les bridge on the Arizona side, and will build a railroad from there to the mines, a. distance of sixteen miles.
 Colonel Ewing still owns heavy min ing interests in different parts of northern Arizona, and will continue to operate and develop mines. He says he proposes to stick to AriZona. As president of the Southwestern Miners association. he has done very much to attract attention to Arizona. and through his influence thousands of dollars have been invested in this ter ritory.
