PEARL MINING DISTRICT.
Q. P. clemmons. Of Saratoga. Pays a Wis
1t to That Campfire Wolverine, Vt.
zirkls. swede and the Big Creek Tun-
mel all Looking Fine.

c. p. Clemmons returned re-
Gently from II trip to the Pearl
mining country, where he had
gone to look over the work in the
Wolverine, in which he holds a
large block of stock. Mr.. Glenn
mons said:
Pearl district is certainly COM
ing to the front as a country rich
in mineral. The Wolverine, the
mine which is now in every
body's mouth, on account of its
having developed II large body of
very rich ore, is certainly going to
be a copper mine second to none
IN this entire district. They now
have almost seven feet of ore and
as yet they have only the foot
wall. They do not yet know the
exact width of the vein, as they
have not yet found the hanging
wall. 1t is my belief that the
vein Is a contact, with n wall of
diorite and the other of granite.
1t will take some time to deter.
mine the exact extent of the ore
body, as it is still widening out at
this time.
Il brought some specimens of
the rock down and had them as
sayed. One specimen gave 66-O7
per cent. copper, 81 in gold and
$3.50 in silver. Another speci
men ran 56 per cent. copper, with
n little gold and some silver.
The Mt. Zirkle property,
which joins the Wolverine. is al
SO showing up finely. The COM
pany are contracting for a large
concentrating plant and when it
is set up it will have the largest
plant of machinery in that dis
trict.
THE Swede property is some
two and one half miles from the
Wolverine. That property is
something immense, for they have
a body of low grade ore Is feet in
width. Assays from that proper
ty, at a depth of 275 feet, gives II
per cent. copper, which is better
than the famous Anaconda, at
Butte, Mont.
Down this way from Pearl, Al
miles, is the Big Creek Tunnel
property. They have recently
cut a vein of copper in that tun-
mel that is q feet in width which
is good. The entire district is
looking fine in my estimation

prosperous business from the

start.
A matter which will interest
shippers who come to South Oma-
ha is the possible construction
of a subway leading under the
myriad of railroad tracks under
the principal streets and the Ex-
change building. The construc-
ton of such a subway will ease
the nerves of shippers who are
now under the necessity of cross
ing the tracks and tremble for the
consequences. The subway is in
the line of the many and costly
improvements the Union Stock
yards company has been making
this year, expanding a quarter
million dollars, to increase the
yard facilities.
Poor stuff is yet being shipped
to this market. One Wyoming
ranchman says that is all he in
tends to send, as he will carry his
good stock through the winter.
Expectation of higher prices is
the cause.
p, c. Engel. of Quick, Ia,
brought in the first load of hogs
over the Great Western. McLel-
land, Ia, shippers sent the first
cars of cattle.
Concerning conditions at the
market here. the Flato Commits
sion company's expert says;
Beef steers have been very
scarce and have sold at good.
steady prices. Feeder buyers are
strong competitors for for heavy,
heshy cattle. The COW supply
has been liberal, but prices were
maintained. Light feeders are
slow to move. A bunch of wes-
tern Nebraska steers averaging
l.243 lbs. brought S4.35: South
Dakota feeders, lips lbs, $3.75
Idaho cows, 1916 lbs, So; Wyo-
ming COWS, $50 lbs, $3.50; South
Dakota cows, 9S5 lbs, S2.S5.
The sheep market started to-
wards a raise, but heavy receipts
at eastern markets brought down
the prices, which are now about
what they were a week ago. Dis
tribution of the animals among
the va rious markets instead
of overlooking eastern points,
would have prevented this
decline. Our market could has
taken m of one-third more than
were sent here and this would
have aided in holding up the
price. We would advise shippers
not to glut the eastern markets.
as much better results can be OBJ
tanned by distributing stock
among the Missouri points.

Medicine Bow Bridge.

One of the approaches to the
railroad bridge at Medicine Bow
burned out last Thursday after
noon. The bridge outfit was in
Laramie and was taken over at
once, repairing the damage by 10
O'Clock that night. 1t is supposed
the timbers caught fire from the

JAMES PUGET
COMMITS SUICIDE
An old Miner and Prospeetor Quits Life
by the Bullet Route-was Well Fix
ed, but eambled. and Lost, and Grew
Weary Of Life.

James Fuget, an old prospector
and miner, who came down from
the Pearl mining district, Friday,
ended his life sometime in the
early morning hours of Saturday,
by shooting himself in the head
with a % cal. rifle, at the livery
barn of Sisson & Orville. He
was an old acquaintance of }. Il.
McAnulty of this place and they
were making arrangements to go
up into Montana, where Puget
owned some mining property,
which be expected to dispose of
for a good figure. Friday even
ing he had supper with Mr.. Nc
Annuity and was in good spirits.
He was not drinking at that time
and was in his usual health. Lat
er on is said that he spent mon
ey at the gambling table but it
could not have been much, as he
had but little cash, the rest be.
ing in checks. of which he had
several hundred dollars. He was
last seer by William Orville, one
of the proprietors of the barn.
where he had his team and wagon.
His wagon was in the barn and
he had pulled his bed out of it
and laid down on top of it. His
death was not discovered until
some time after daylight Satur-
day morning, when one of the
men employed on the tele-
phone force, that are at work
putting ON the extra wire
between here and Rawlins, who
was getting his team out, called
the attention of Mr.. Orville to the
fact that the man was dead.
He had taken the gun out of its
scabbard in the wagon, lay down
on his back on the bed aud then
placed the muzzle of the gun lust
back of his right ear, holding it
there with his left hand, and pull
ed the trigger with his right
thumb. His right hand still rest
ed on the lock of the gun, which
was almost at right angles with
his head, while his left band rest
ed naturally across his breast, but
the powder-burned condition of
the hand showed that it had been
in close contact with the gun
when it was discharged.
No one had heard the shot and
his death was very much of a sur
prise to his friends. Coroner
Bennett of Rawlins was notified
and ordered the undertaken to take
charge of the body. He came
over, made ar examination, decid-
ed ii was a clear case of suicide,
and that no inquest was necessary
and had the body inferred in the
cemetery here.
The dead man was between As
and so years of age and was in
good circumstances, having a
good team and a good spring wag-
on, in which he was travelling
around the country.

Mine Troubles in Walker.

A local of the United Mine Workers of America was instituted on Tuesday night at Coronado, in Walker County, with III members and on Wednesday night twenty-three more were added to the membership roles. The following day sixty men were discharged by the com- pany for joining the union and a com mittee which called on the Acting Su- perintendent was also discharged. Pro- test has been made to the President of the Sloss-Shef1eld Steel and Iron Com pany, who own and operate the mines at Coronado by the officials of the United Mine Workers of America. There are but three locals of the United Mine Workers of America in Walker County. Efforts are being made to keep the mines in Walker County out of the union ranks. During the suspension of work on the part of union miners last month the Walker County mines were in full operation. producing a large amount of coal. The officials of the United Mine Workers of America have turned their attention to the Walker County mines now and more or less trouble is antici- pated. It is not at all unlikely that the discharge of the sixty men at Coronado will result in trouble in Jefferson County at the mines of the Sloss-Sheffield Com pany.

The capital docket will be taken up the week commencing September 14th. There are sixteen defendants with capital cases against them. The case of Jake Loeb, formerly of Montgomery, who is accused with complicity in the robbery of a harness store and sending some of the stolen property to Montgomery to be sold to people there, has been set for trial on September 30. The case of Will liam Wise, charged with the murder of Elias M. Latham, will probably be taken up the latter part of October.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS.
Messrs Mitchell and Adams Hav
 Very Marrow Escape.

Gadsden, Aug. n.-(SpeciaI. .)-R. A. Mitchell agent of the Dwight Manufac- turing Company at Alabama City. and R. l.. Adams. Superintendent of the Bell Telephone Company, had q narrow es- cape from death yesterday in an auto mobile accident. The3c two gentlemen were out for a spin on the mountain and were on their way home and coming down the mountain, Mir. Adams steering. From some cause the machine became unman- ageable and got from under the control of MT. Adams. They were racing along at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour when the machine neared the edge of the mountain near Bellevue Hotel and top pied over the edge, reversed itself and struck two large trees. demolshing the automobile. MT. Adams fell directly un- der the machine and the tires kept him from being crushed, but he was consid- erably bruised up. while MT. Mitchell was hurled in the air and down the mountain side for twenty-five feet. and he says he does not know how he escaped death. Parties at the hotel rendered them as- sistance. Had the accident happened a few minutes earlier, they would have been hurled Into the valley hundreds of feet and crushed to death.
 The thriving little suburb of East Gads- den has completed the task of taking her school census, and there are some sur- prises that are exceedingly interesting. There are in the village 2s0 children who are of school age. ITO being white and 110 negroes. Of the whites there are 100 girls and 70 boys while of the blacks there are 60 girls and 50 boys. In both cases the boys are largely outnumbered. Our informant says there are at present forty girls there of marriageable age and that they are beautiful. It seems that the boys are not very gallant.
 The cotton-oil mill on Broad Street has been compelled to tear down its hull warehouse in the rear of the mill because of the trouble which arose over the fenc- ing in of the l.. and N. track by c. s. Ward, who has purchased land on which is located the switch track and who also claims the land where the house was To- cated. The tracks are still fenced in, and as soon as present leases expire, several wholesale dealers will seek other loca- tions. where they can get railroad con- nections. The track Is still fenced.
 The Gadsden baseball team has been disbanded because there were no more teams in this section to play against 1t. The association tried to get into the Ala bama-Tennessee League, but the railroad connections were such as to make 1t a non-paying proposition to the league. The short season was thoroughly enjoyed, and the team did fine work. All the players found places elsewhere.

serious Accident to child.

A son of Mir. and Mrs. R. A. Coons of Fairland met with serious accident yes- terday, but 1t will probably not result fatally. The little boy, who is less than years old. while going to the we'll fell and the tumbler he was carrying was broken so that piece of glass pierced the walls of his stomach, causing a pro- trusion of the omentum. He received sur gical attention and today was considered to be out of danger.
