ECHOES FROM THE swIsHELms

It is with pleasure we note the sub stantial progress which is being made in mining circles in the Swishelms. These mountains are really a spur of the Chiricahuas, and are reached by about 3S-mile drive east from Bisbee. The Swishelm Development company, Mir Greer in charge, are meeting with great encouragement in their develop ment operations. The company con
 trols 40 claims, including nearly every
 thing of importance in the little range They are getting down to business. having 1e men employed, and have met
 with solid encouragement in a 150foot incline shaft Besides this, the sur face indications are splendid, includ ing fine supply of oak and juniper wood. Water for the camp has to be
 hauled about three miles at present
 but no difficulty is expected in develop ing liberal supply of water on the ground. It is gratifying to note the
 progress made by these people in the
 eastern part of the county. Good news is expected from the Chiricahuas in the near future. where tha; excet lent rustler. c. F. Nicholls, and others are operating. The Swishelms may snon be Teckoned among the pFoduc 7 CTS Of Cochise county.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE NORTH
 SIDE.

Developments on the property of the Mountain View Development compa- ny's property, about two and half miles northwest from the center of Bisbee, contribute to the great result, namely that the north side is no long CT barred from the acknowledged min eral belt of the Warren district At the ofhce of the company, in Brewery Ave, specimens from the property are on exhibition to look upon which i'm parts thrill of hope to every owner of mines and prospects on the North Side.
 They consist of fine blocks of quartz full of glance, carbonates and oxides. Such ore is found frequently on the surface, and in every little hole which has been sunk. The float, as well as ledge matter, has been tested by nu- merous assays, and run from to 10 dollars in gold, IF to 137 ounces silver, and from 4 to 45 per cent cop per.
 The company has ample means for prosecuting development work, and propose to commence operations oi that character immediately.
 The personnel of the management is a strong guarantee, not only of the le- gitimate character of the work about to be commenced, but of the character of the property. Such men as c. s. CDavy) Crockett, George Bennett, H. M. Woods, Charley Trottman anA Frank Sinclair know very nearly whal they are doing before they start after anything in the Warren district, being men of rare experience in this locality.

THE solEDAD PROPERTY.

4 deal has been maue OF the rich Soledad property in Sonora in which many Cochise county residents are interested. For the past ten days. Colonel FOX, Of San Francisco has been down to the property with O. b. Steen, making a most thorough e1- animation of the property, the extent of the ore bodies and the titles, etc. The gentleman returned to this city on Tuesday and last evening the pa pers were drawn up and signed. According to the terms of the agree ment both Fox and his California as sDcIates are to secure a cortrolinz interest oI the stock and in return of which agree to put the property on dividend paying basis. by installing machinery, etc
 Colonel Fox brought out with him one of the finest lots of gold samples to be seen anywhere. They consist ed of quartz specimens. nuggets, pan samples. and a good walnut. the re- | suit Of the collection Of gold from a retort. The latter was obtained by puiverizing 42 pounds of quartz iron, the Soledad shaft and was then put into a retoTt and the gold collected by the amalgum. IL weighs eight ounces which will give an idea of the rich ness of the Soledad quartz.
 MT. Steen, accompanied by Colonel Fox, left this morning for Los Ange les. The work on the property is still progressing rapidly under the su pervision of Pete Johnson, of Bisbee and the ledge is increasing in width as depth is attained. Colonel Fox before leaving. stated that the Sole dad property was one of the richest gold groups to be found on the Pa ! cific coast and as soon as the ma chinery was installed would make one of the largest dividend paying prop critics to be found anywnere within the western mining district.

CHIMNEY TO HAVE CORSET
Stack at Eagle Mill Threatens to
H. - Collapse.
Long Cracks Have Appeared in
Base of Chimney.
Will be Reinforced With Casing Of
Steel Orders.

Unable to support the immense pile
of masonry above it, the base of the
new chimney at the Eagle mill is crack
ing and heroic measures must be
adopted to save it from collapse and
destruction. To this end the huge
stack will be dressed in a steel corset;
building experts who have examined
the assures having recommended the
casing as the only means of preventing
the cracks from widening.
The defects in the chimney, which
was erected this summer at a cost of
Sc, 900, were not noticed until recently
but they are now very distinct and ap-
pear in the brick work above the foun-
dalton. In the construction of the
stack the foundation was built of stone
and concrete and above it to the height
of about fifteen feet the chimney was
put up in the form of a square, each of
the four faces being arched for the pur-
pose of giving it greater strength.
This precaution, however, does not ap-
pear to have been sufficient, for the
weight of the brick in the circular Sec
ton, which goes up $50 feet into the
air, is pressing down upon the base
with tremendous force and cracks have
developed in the centers of all of the
arches.
When the crevices first appeared
they were little more than mere threads
but they are now we'll defined and
would doubtless continue to widen,
eventually causing the fall of the stack.
The danger is not imminent but rather
than incur it at all the mill manage
ment decided to call in experts and
have the fault remedied before an
accident occurred.
Accordingly A. Collins and Thos.
Downs, large brick contractors of
Minneapolis, were summoned and after
examining the stack they reported that
the most practical method was to
attach the corset. The latter is very
simple cOntrlvance, consisting OF four
massive castings which fit the corners
of the chimney and which are bound
together with three thick steel girders.
They are expected to supply the ele-
ment of strength which is lacking and
should prevent the cracks from be-
coming more pronounced.
When the trouble was first dis
covered there was considerable con-
lecture as to the cause. It was sug-
gested that the sudden heat from the
coal smoke when the chimney was first
put into commission weakened it, but
this theory has been rejected. The
stack is constructed with an inner fue
of fire brick and the experts declare
that the air space between the fire
| brick and the outer casing would mo-

PUBLIC LIBRARY TO CLOSE.
Board of Directors Took Final Act.
ion Monday Night.
They Voted to Pay Up Debts and
Call in All Books.
Will Not Reopen Until it Has Def
mite Source of Revenue.

Inability to raise the money neces-
sary to meet its current expenses will
cause the New Ulm public library to
close its doors. Monday evening at a
meeting of the board of directors held
in Hoidale & Somsen's Office it was
voted to call in the books and the
treasurer was instructed to pay up all
the outstanding debts. The offici al
date for the closing is November LIST
and after that day the library will va
cate its present quarters and the fur
niture, books and other property will
be stored.
s3 Members of the board state that this
action is final and that they will not
reconsider their decision, as was done
last spring. At that time, when there
was talk of closing the library, a
number of citizens interested them
selves in the matter and succeeded in
soliciting sum amounting to about
$40. This was presented to the board
but it has since been expended and it
is next to impossible to devise means
of reflling the treasury.
Reasons for the suspension are not
lacking but the principal one is that
the city officials utterly refuse to con
tribute anything toward it's support
and feel no interest in it's welfare. In
almost every other town and city in
the state financial assistance is OBJ
tanned from the council but here this
means of ekeing out an existence is
denied, the aldermen having gone so
far only within a few months as to
table a petition asking that they fur
nish free light for the library. Such
opposition from the very men who
should be the most active in its pro-
motion is discouraging, but it is only
one: of the obstacles.
During the four years and more
since the library was established it
has been a continual struggle for the
board to make both ends meet. The
library itself has been literally pat
ronized but it's exchequer has always
been low and much of the time the
directors have been confronted with the
! problem of raising funds. Lecture
courses and entertainments which they
have repeatedly essayed have been but
sparingly patronized and the direct
ors say they are at last aware of the
fact that New Ulm does not wish to
rank with her sister cities and does
not want library. -
They will, therefore, close it up this
week and it will remain closed indef-
nitely. When definite source oil
revenue is assured the library will
reopen, but not until that time,

allow of the latter being affected.
All work upon tearing down the old
stack has been suspended, as it is
desired to make thorough test Of the
corset experiment. # it does not
reinforce the new stack as expected,
the management will, of necessity, be
compelled to tear down the chimney
and erect another. In that emergency
they could fall back upon the old stack
and for this reason it is being held in
reserve.

COLEMAN GROWS CHESTY
Local Paper Publishes Yainglorious
UtteranCes Of Sleuth.

Thomas Coleman, the Minneapolis
man-hunter, who has Sherlock dimes,
.LeCoq and all other sleuths Of fiction
looking like selling platers, is growing
chesty. For some unknown reason he
regards the outcome of the Loefel
macher case as victory for himself
and is greatly elated in. consequence.
Last week he came to New Ulm and
unburdened himself to a local news
paper man, the scribe being sufficient
ly bucolic to publish his bombastic
utterances.
In the ''string" interview which the.
detective gave out he told of his rela--
tions with August Loeffelmacher, but
the version he gave appears to have.
been greatly distorted. In any event
the latter Indignantly denies all of
the charges and disclaims Offering
Colemay reward of $500 if he would
recapture John Loeffelmacher. He
did offer reward of 800 for the APP
prehension of his son and paid that
amount. In addition he arranged with
Coleman to prosecute the search but
he asserts that he did not hang up an
inducement for the detective. The
latter was to devote his time for a
stated sum and received every cent
due him.
Subsequently Coleman called on
Loefelmacher and asked for rewards
aggregating 5000 which he claimed
were offered byLoeffelmacher's brother
and his mother-in-law but these the
Ridgely man refused to pay. Loeffel-
macher's attorneys supported him in
the stand he took and they say that
they could have exposed the trans
action in a light which would have
been anything but creditable to Cole
man. Other information which they
possess concerning the detectives re-
cord is said to be sufficient to cause
Coleman to hold them in great respect,
and probably accounted for his failure
w oHPSoA oHOh uA1O "1oLAOoo oo1AO
the Loeffelmacher trial at ST. Peter
last May.
On thewhole Coleman S blackguardly
arraignment of Loefelmacher comes
with poor grace. While the latter may
have erred in the upbringing of his
son, it is we'll known fact that he is
very prompt in meeting financial obi
cations, his business integrity being
such as to gain for him the support of
many solid merchants during his re-
cent trouble. Had he offered Coleman
| a reward the latter should have in
| stituted a civil suit and the fact that
he did not do so indicates there is a
discrepancy in his story somewhere.
The tale of the fve-dollar bill is
ridiculous in the extreme. The idea
that man in Loeffelmacher's cir
cumstances, possessing property
valued at 10000 or $4,000, should
clutch greedily at the currency tender.
ed by the sleuth is improbable, to say
the least. It would seem fortunate he
did not succeed in reaching the money,
however, as its loss might have forced
Coleman into the hands of a receiver

TOP PRICE WAS $3.50

Hog receipts were liberal yesterday for

The result was a cessation OF business

and the difference OF opinion between the
