SOUTHERN PACIFIC WRECK
Terrible Railroad Accident Oc-
ours in Arizona

A terrible accident occurred on the
Southern Pacific road IA miles east of
Tucson, Arizona, on January 2s.
Two passenger trains met in head on
collision at three O'Clock in the morn
ing Eight cars of train No. and
three of train No, were completely
demolished, as we'll as both engines.
The engines were oil burners and the
contents Of their tanks were poured
over the ruins and the entire mass at
once broke into flames The intense
heat and smoke prevented the sur
vivors from approaching the ruins.
At last accounts 90 persons are known
to have lost their lives and it is be-
lieved that the list will be swelled
when a thorough Investigation has
been made The accident was caused
by the failure Of the operator at Walls
Station to deliver an order Train
No. 7, westbound, had orders to pass
an eastbound freight at Wilmot Sta
tion. The order at Walls Station
was for No. to meet No. eastbound
passenger, at Esmond. This order the
operator forgot to deliver. At the
time Of the collision both trains were
running at about 80 miles an hour
Chas S. Fec general passenger and
ticket agent Of the Northern Pacific
railroad, spent Saturday here, visit
ing with E. l.. Cass

Clarksburg, Cal, where they have
been spending the past four months
and left on Wednesday for Kerby.
VIM. Bybee says Rogue river was
higher this season than at any time
for the past 81 years. He lost 63 head
Of goats, 8 head of cattle and two
miles Of fencing and estimates his
loss at $1,000.

ChrIstIan Science Leeture.

Carol Norton, G. S. D., Of New
York, delivered Christian Science
lecture at Greenback hall, at the
Greenback mining camp, on Thursday.
Mr. Norton is a very eminent lecturer
on Christian Science and the people of
Greonback esteem themselves partic-
ularly fortunate to have secured his
presence with them. Geonback has
quite strong school of Cristian Sci
entists who are very earnest in their
belief and there is no question but
that the Greenback mining camp is
greatly prohted by this means, and a
good work is evident here in the ele-
waited moral tone, the increased Bible
study and spiritual thinking and the
higher plane of thought which makes
the Greenback altogether different
from most mining camps. The efforts
Of Mr.. and Mrs. O. w. Thompson in
this line have been of inestimablo
value to the camp. Mrs. Thompson is
the first reader for the local society
and is a very earnest worker.
Mr.. Norton was introduced by Mrs.
Thompson with a few brief but well
chosen remarks, and spoke for some
time, holding the undivided attention
Of his listeners. His explanation Of
Christian Science was very plain. He
was very fair and tolerant regarding
those of different faith.
He asserted that Christian Science
was biblical, spiritual and orthodox,
restoring the temporarily lost power
of apostolic healing.
Following are a few brief extracts
from the thoughts set forth;
Religion, according to Christian
Science is honesty, chastity and purity
Of thought and act, unseldshness,
philanthrophy, literal aud spiritual
imitation Of the life Of Jesus Christ
Christian Science believes literally
as well as spiritually, because Of its
dcmonstrable power to heal disease,
that Christ meant what he said when
he gave his great promise to all ages:
The works that do shall We do
also; and greater works than these
shall yo do, because / 20 unto my
Father.
Christian SCIENCE teaches the es-
tablislmont of health through mental
or spiritual processes.
Christian Science recognizes an
that is true and beautiful in the great
religious systems Of the world but lt
/ all times aud under All conditions seed
in the progressive career Of Jcsu.

GOLDEN DRIFT MINING co.
wal Cut Lumber Near the Dam.
Gamer by Flood

The Golden Drift Mining Co. have
moved their saw mill from its TO rme
location on Jones creek to the vicin-
ity Of the dam. They have had men
at work for some time past, cutting
logs and the mill will again be run
ning in a short time. They sawed up
most Of the Immediately available
timber at their former location. At
the present site, they have the advan-
tage of saving the lumber on the
ground whore it is to be used, thus
saving the expense of hauling, an
operation now well-nigh impossible
on account of the condition of the
roads, There is considerable timbor
on the hills near the dam and this
will be sawed this winter and spring.
The loss of timbers at the dam occa-
stoned by the recent high water, was
more than oounterbalanced by the
sweeping out of the race and forebay,
the water having done work that
would have cost the company hun
drods of dollars to accomplish.

Ground Hog Day." Feb. ?, Was
Bright and Sunny.

Monday, February 2, was Ground
hog day" and was very bright and
sunny According to the ancient be-
lief, the ground hog, who hibernates
during the winter months, comes out
on that day to view the weather in
dications. If he "seos his shaddsr, I"
he goes back and stays six weeks
more. If he does not see his shadow,
he stays ont in the expectation of
spring, SO runs the old belief. As
the ground hog does not inhabit this
country, it is uncertain as to whether
or not the rule will hold.

NEW YORK. oct. 1.-THE unexpected
s0srension of the Maryland Trust Conf

irGuonce in the unsettlement of the

widely distributed declines were recorded

The most important supply Of stock
