arms. His name is Joe Harper, kind
 of a pugilist. He was living in Pres
 colt until few days ago and while
 there he took part in cutting affray
 one night A couple of tendOns on the back of his right hand were sev-
 cred and he went to Dr. Yount for
 repairs. It was a rpretty bad cut but the doctor cut into his arm and drew the tendons together so that the two middle fingers which were hanging down were drawn up naturally again. The doctor put some absorbent gauge
 into the incision, dressed the wound and told Harper to return the next day. He did not return and the doc tor hasnot seen him since. The sec Ond day he got uneasy and hunted for his patient but could not find him. The doctor was uneasy for two reasons. The first was that that gauge would almost certainly produce case of blood poisoning and the next was that in that event a mighty fine case of surgery would be spoiled The doctor came to town yesterday and he learned that Harper was here. He told some other colOred men to hunt him up and tell him that he was not a we'll man but that he was counting the loss of the arm with which he delivers his right hand jabs

PETERSON DISCHARGED.

Jack Peterson walked out of Jail a free man last evening, as result of the habeas corpus proceedings insti
 tuted by J. D. Wakely on his behalff Reference was made before to Peter sons case which is a quite remarkable one. He was arrested in Jerome charged with a felony, and was brought to Prescott by deputy sheriff Before having been placed in jail and while waiting in the office of the sheriff, he asked permission to step out of the room for a short time. The request was granted, and Peter son failed to come back. When his case was submitted to the grand jury, that body ignored the bill. In the meantime Peterson was located at a mining camp in Mohave county and arrested as an escape from jail. He had his preliminary examination be- fore Justice Moore, his attorney, Mir
 Wakely, taking the grounds that he had not committed any offense under the statute. The justice held him to answer to the grand jury, when the habeas corpus proceedings were insti- tuted. After a thorough examination of the case, Judge Sloan granted the writ and on hearing it issued an order discharging Peterson from custody.

TRAIN1IEN STRIKE.

The Cananea Consolidated Copper company is considerably mcouven:- enced by the strike of the train crew of the narrow gauge road who went out on January on account of a cut in wages. The men had been notified ten days before that on the first of the year their wages would be re- duced fifty cents a day. The road is still running but the work is heinz done by inexperienced men.
 There are about loo men out. Be fore quitting the men tried to secure compromise but the company refus- ed to make any concession. The re- duetion the company says was made on account of the reduction of the values of its products. An effort is being made now to fiji the places of the strikers with experienced useu and it is said that the strikers will not be able to get their places back
 ven at the reduced wages.

ing machine has more time and money been expended than on a device to set and distribute type. For over cen tury inventors have struggled with the question, and while their efforts were partially successful, it has only been in the past ten years that a practical machine has been put on the market. It seems like an impossibility that any combination of machinery other than that encompassed in the human body could separate nearly a hundred characters, pick them up again, form them into words, combine the words into sentences and place them in read mess for that older but none the less marvellous result of brains-the mod ern printing press. The Simplex does it though, and does it five or six times as fast as the most rapid compositor.
 It was easy to make mistakes in the old way. An would slip into the h box or d into the n box, but the Simplex can make no such mistakes. The operator can and doubtless will continue to make mistakes, but they will be fewer than before and the hardships of the proof reader will be considerably lessened and the sensi- bilities of the critical newspaper reader shocked less frequently than before.
 It would be almost an impossibility to give an accurate description of this wonderful machine and the only way to get even faint idea of its possi- biliaties is to come and examine its workings. We publish a picture in this issue which is accurate as far as general appearances go, but of course gives no idea as to how it is operated. The Simplex typesetter uses just the same kind of type as is set by hand. Each individual type has a separate combination of "nicks'' or notches cut on the edge and on this fact is based the fundamental princi- pie of the machine. As will be noticed Tn the picture, the body of the Sim pleX consists of two cylinders, one above and rotating on the other. In both cylinders extending vertically their full length, are ninety parallel channels, each channel corresponding to some one type.
 To distribute the type in the first place, the channels of the upper cylinder are filled with "dead mat ter" (type that has been used) and is revolved step by step. At each step or movement of the distributor cylinder the bottom type of each line of dead

matter is tested by the wards or chan nels of the lower cylinder, until it finds one exactly corresponding and drops down into the lower magazine. The lower cylinder is stationery and at the bottom of each channel it contains lever which is connected with keyboard similar to that of a typewriter. When a character on the keyboard is pressed down the lever releases the corresponding character from the channel and deposits it on a rapidly moving disc which carries it around the machine and to 'packer" which packs the letters into line in their proper order in an upright position, or. to use printers phrase, standing on their feet" A long line of type rapidly forms in front of the operator, and when he has enough for his purpose he whirls his chair around, and with a small instrument called a ''grab' separates enough from the long line to make a line the measure he is setting. This he justi- fies or "spaces, and then takes an other line and so on. When two per sons are working at the same time, one operates the keyboard and the other does the spacing. As soon as one line is spaced it is automatically pushed back to make room for an other and at the. same time the matter is leaded if so desired.
 After the machine is once in opera tion all that is necessary in the way of distributing is to place a galley of dead type on the side of the upper cylinder in a place prepared for it. It does the work perfectly, and while it is apparently simple, it would be impossible to explain the matter in- telligently, so we won't try, but again invite you to come and see for your self.
 The Simplex is small and compact, weighing about HOO pounds and occu- pying no more floor space than an ordinary coal stove, and while it took brains and lots of them to invent it, it is of remarkably simple construc- tion and not at all liable to get out of repair.
 We have had it in operation n only a few weeks, but that is long enough to discover its true worth, and every. time we see it work, with almost human intelligence, we feel like talk ing off our hat in its presence.
 It is certainly the best and most wonderful machine that ever graced a country print shop.

Governor Gage refers to what he terms the mislead- ing reports of Dr. Kinyoun and his local medical allies regarding the plague and the policy pursued by some newspapers of the state which published the reports that the plague is epidemic in San Francisco.

THE NEW ELDORADO
FL Picach0 Mine in Mexico in Which J. s. Douglas Is Interested
 a Record Breaker.
Ore Which Runs Away Into the Thousands Per Ton Taken
 Out by TrainIOads. \

| /
 A telegram from pcHglas, Arizona, dated December 3l, says that much excitement has been caused in Doug las and Northern Sonora over a won derfully rich strike of gold at the Fl Picacho mine, Baeoachi, Sonora, and the shipment of solid trainlOad of ore through Douglas this week. A. ! c. James and James Douglas of the Copper Queen company are owners of the Fl Picacho mine, and have been working for four months getting titles in shape to ship ore. The mine was bought from a YaGsi - s15, 900. atd exported by F. Wuensct. of Denver who recommended the property very highly. Several shafts were sunk and in all were found gold ore running from 8, GOO to 5000 per ton.
 The Mexican government would not permit the shipment of ore until title had been secured from the govern ment.
 Since all legal obstacles have been removed work has been begun in earnest, and with force of nearly 100 men the owners have been taking out large quantities of gold.
 Guards have been employed to watch the golden treasure, as it is taken from the mine and sacked and locked in large warehouse until it is transported to Douglas, on the American side. The estimate of the amount of ore in sight now is said by reliable authorities who have just re- turneeed from the mine to be in the neighborhoOd of 8, 900. coo.
 The amount of ore already in the warehouse is estimated to be valued at over sl, 900, GOO. and the trainload shipped through Douglas Tuesday was valued at something over s9Oo, coo. One of the cars containing 225 sacks was valued at s95, 900. A large mum Der of miners from Colorado and Ari- zona have recently gene te the nes, country, and encouraging reports bavk been received by their friends in Douglas. saying that several ledA equally as rich as Fl Picacho have. been discovered.
 The new lodges are along the same trend. and the surface crOppings are identically the same American and Mexican prospectoIs are now washing out considerable quantity of placer gold few miles below Bacoachi. on the Sonora river, eassed by the find ing of a large nugget of cearse gold. which was bought bysa bank in Doug las for $500. Considerable placergold has been brought in and sbiTbed out through express and carried away from Douglas by persons in order to evade the duty of the Mexican govern ment
 A telegram of the same date from Fl Paso. speaking of the shipment of the ore mentioned above says: Ten cars of gold and silver ore, valued at s1. 800. 900. arrived here over the new Fl PasO and Southwestern railway this morning and was delivered to the shelter. The ore came from Placeri- tas. SOOOra, Mex. and was one of the most valuable shipments ever received here. One car alone was valued at SlCQ GOO. Several guards accompanied the treasure.
