citing foot race toward the Mexican line. The Frenchman had little the start of Cochise's sheriff, but after ruu Of little over 150 yards, was over taken. He started to pull a gun, but was too slow, as Dell had the drop on him. When searched he had besides the gun a deadly looking dagger, double edged, with blade about six inches long. It was evident from the way he was armed that he intended to make a fight should any one attempt to arrest him, but he was placed in such position that he could not use them.-Prospector.
 One ot the greatest undertakings Of this century has been completed. It Is the great dam of Assouan, on the river Nile. The dam is sixty feet wide at the top and mlle and quarter in length. The height above low water is 347.6 and above the Mediterranean 526.49 feet. Originally the dam was designed to be higher, but an increased height would have flooded the island of Philae upon which are situated the Egyptian temples of that name. 26,- 900 men were employed in the work, half of whom operated night and half day. The cost Of the structure was $25, ,O0O, 900. While this undertaking was immense and the possibilities great Q dam in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river would bring under cultivation more and richer lands than those in the Nile Valley and give homes to millions of people.-King- man Miner.

Tasmania's Mineral Fields.

Tasmania has an important mining future according to the Board of Trade Journal of London which says that minerals represent 70 per cent. of the total value of the exports. This, how ever, is stated to be only an infinitesi- nal fraction of the wealth in minerals yet to be developed. There are in the west numerous other deposits of great size and value in copper, silver, lead, zinc and gold. Tin is found in consid- erable quantities, both on the west and on the east side of the island. In some places iron ore exists in great abun- dance. Coal more or less suitable for all purposes is found in many parts of the island, though it has not yet been worked to any large extent. At Maria island, distant about six miles from
 the east coast, there are great quanti- ties of limestone suitable for the manu- facture of cement. The harbor of Ho- bart is one of the finest in the world.

duction of the ores to bullion on the ground. The great sums Of money that go into the exportation Of ores from this county is one of the causes of the lack Of prosperity among the mines. Could these great sums be dis l bursed to mill men and miners it would soon bring on an era of prosperity | never before seen in this section.- Kingman Miner.
 A. c. Sieboth, superintendent of the Lake Superior and Arizona Mining company, developing a property on Queen creek, have installed Leyuer drills and other machinery and is now working a force of thirty-fve men, and is making rapid progress on de- velopment work. A bridge and tres ,, tie 135 feet in length across an arroya to the mouth O. the lower tunnel will give easier access to the mine and dump room, which is needed. The work in the mine consists chiefly in stripping the lead, and much good ore has been uncovered Belt.
 The mines of the San Francisco dis trict are developing nicely and moro men are now on them than at any time since the discovery of the Gold Road. The completion of the road over the mountain gives the mines Of the Gold Road easy access and enables the com pany to bring in large machinery and mining supplies. The site for the Gold Road mill is complete and we under stand that it will be but short time until it is under construction. The other mines in the district are working large forces of men and great ore bodies are being blocked out.-King- man Miner.
 After two weeks of anxiety and con- stant effort the Old Dominion company has now, it is thought, gained control of the water in its working shaft, and | will soon be able to resume operations with full complement of men. The lowering of the big pump in sections, to the tenth level, has been accom- plished, and put in operation, adding about 500 gallons per minute to the volume of water being raised by the smaller pumps and bailing tanks. It is believed that it will not take many days to uncover the large pump sub- merged on the twelfth level, and with that again in commission the control of the water will be comparatively
 
 several days ago on account of scar city of fuel oil, but four cars have been received and moro are expected, so the furnaces will probably be blown in again in q few days.-Globe Belt.
 Plans have been perfected for the erection of great copper reduction works in Pinal county. This is the first tangible result following the be- ginning of construction,on the Phoenix and Eastern railway. The announce ment has been officially made by the Arizona Copper Mountain mining com pany, whose properties lie within a mile of the Gila river, that it has de- cided to put in operation one of the largest plants of the kind ever erected in Arizona. For some time past the enterprise has been under considera. tion. In the Copper Butte mine, owned by this company, the ore is high grade. Owing to the remoteness of the mines it has been impossible to develop the deposits in the past, but with the coming of the new railroad which, according to survey, will pass within mile Of the mines. the great est activity may be ted.-Blade.

TERRITORIAL MINING NEWS.

The plant for the Benson shelter has been shipped from San Francisco. Platinum, the genuine thing, has been found eight miles east of Pres colt.
 Work is progressing on the Golden Wonder near PaysoD, says the Belt. The mine shows between four and five feet Of ore and gangue rock carrying free gold. Some of it will go $40. The Golden Wonder is the oldest mine in the district, and years ago produced a fargr- r-auIouut of gold.
 F.. r. HOfschuite of Rye is develop ing group of claims, the ore run ming well in both copper and silver. He has done about 400 feet of work with encouraging results opening up the lead, and is now preparing to run tunnel 15O feet in leng gth.--Globe Belt.
 The Vidette is informed that the Nogales Copper company has placed orders for two IO0-ton production plan ts-one to be erected at the Buena Vista and the other at the Pena Blanca mines, in Santa Cruz county. The company expects to have the plants in operation in sixty days.
 A. c. Sieboth, acting for the Michi- gan parties who are developing the Richard Welch claims, has bonded the Proctor group of sixteen claims, owned by Ed. Fondren and others, situated on the Mineral and Pinto creek divide, and adjoining the Welch claims. They are good prospects and will develop them.-Belt.
 Bob Bradford, superintendent Of the Copper Hill mines, in the Catalinas, says that the cyaniding plant of the company will be ready for operation about the tenth of January. The mines are in splendid shape and ready for large production of ore. There has been an abundance of rain in that section and heavy snow in the noun tains.-Star.
 Geo. Raun and Jack Howard, old timers and partners, were in town this week. Mr. Raum and Chas. Cun- ningham five years ago sold the Grand Reef mines to John W. Nackay for $40, 900. Raum went home to Germany to enjoy himself. Mir. Howard has been in Arizona twenty-eight years. They say they have the best gold prop erty in Cochise county and are in no hurry to sell.-Star.
 Frank Perley, superintendent of the Vermont and Arizona Mining com- pany, which owns group of claims near Gleason, was in town yesterday on his way to Bisbee. Mir. Perley says the company will soon commence the development of its property, and a large force of men will be put to work. A shaft 800 feet deep has been sunk on the claims and several drifts run to cross cut the ore body. The ore runs we'll in copper, gold and silver.-Pros- pector.
 The installation Of the electric plant at the Minnesots-Connor mines has greatly facilitated work on the shaft, where electric drills are now in opera tion. The ore in the shaft also shows improvement in gold, which gives to the management the greatest encour- agement As soon as large bodies of ore have been blocked out and an in crease in the water supply obtained the big mill will be started up. Now that fine grade of gold ore has been opened up the mill will be able to turn out the highest grade of concentrates eyer made in the county. It is also to

The Washerwoman's Song.

Eugene F. Ware, of Kansas, wh' was appointed by President Roosevelt United States Commissioner of Pen sions to succeed H. Clay Evans, owe his appointment principally, it is said to the Presidents admiration fo Ironquill's" best known poem, "Th, Song" Mir. Roose welt read the poem about two year ago and expressed desire to meet th' author, and thus their acquaintance, began. His "Washerwoman's Song has acquired considerable celebrity and is as follows:
 In a very humble cot,
 In rather quiet spot,
 h the suds and in tho soap
 Works a woman III Of hope.
 Working, singing, all alone,
 In sort of undertone;
 With the Savior for a friend, He will keep me 10 the end.h Sometimes happening along, had heard the semi-song,
 And l often used to smile,
 More in sympathy than guile, But 1 never said a word
 In regard to what I heard.
 As she sung about her friend
 Who would keep her to the end. Not in sorrow nor in glee,
 Working all day long was she, As her children, three or four, Played around her on the floor; But in monotones the song
 She was humming all day long; "With the Savior for a friend, He will keep me to the end.n It's song do not sing,
 For 1 scarce believe thing Of the stories that are told
 Of the miracles of old;
 But know that her belief
 Is the anodyne Of grief,
 And will always be friend
 That will keep her to the end. Just trife lonesome she,
 Just as poor as poor could be; But her spirits always rose.
 Like the bubbles in the clothes, And, though widowed atd alone, Cheered her with the monotone, Of a Savior and friend
 Who would keep her to the end. I have seen her rub and scrub On the wash board in the tub, While the baby sopped in suds, Rolled and tumbled in the duds, Or was paddling in the pools
 With old scissors stuck in spools. She st. hummiug Of her friend Who would keep her to the end. Human hopes and human creeds Have their root in human needs; And I should not wish to strip From that washerwoman' lips Any song that she can sing, Any hopo that song can bring, For the woman has friend
 Who will keep her to the end.

New York, Jan. 17.-When the delayed
liner. St. Louis, arrived at her dock at
11:3o to-day, the passengers were found
to be almost fighting mad. ~. -
ManyTof the frst-class passengers de-
clared their intention to enter suits
against the company and their cases were
placed in the hands of lawyers on board.
The claim is made that the company
knew Of the defective condition of the
boilers before the start was made.
There was no gaiety on the ship dur
ing the voyage. The passengers were
lions adopted by them in mass meeting

The liners time from Cherbourg to the
lightship was Is days, 8 hours and 20
minutes. This Is days, Is hours and 25
minutes behind the ships best record.
There was no accident of any kind at any
time, and although heavy weather was
encountered, practically all of the delay
was caused by inability to get up good
steam in the defective boilers. .-
"A large crowd gathered at the American
lire pier and cheered as the ship came in.
The cheers were answered from the
steamer and then there was more cheer
ing. 81.
1t did not take long for the first and
second cabin passengers to cross the gang
planks and they were gathered to the
arms Of their waiting relatives. Each lit
tie group provided a scene. the women in
most cases weeping in their joy. Similar
scenes were being enacted among the
steerage passengers on the lower deck of
the dock.

Ontario wants free American coal.
There is no question about that, and
there is no doubt that at the next session
of parliament a strong effort will be made
to abolish the coal tariff or enact a law
corresponding to the American rebate law.
II the American congress had wholly abol-
ished the coal tariff without resorting to
the rebate makeshift there is no doubt
that Canada would respond with free trade
in coal. AS it is, it Is quite possible that
Canada will not feel like taking the duty
off coal for 50 short q time as one year
In view of the fact that to do SO would
be merely to disturb twice within that
time the stability Of the trade of the Nova
Scotia mines, which now sell large part
of their output in Ontario. - -,
If Senator Lodge should put through his
idea of reciprocity in free coal, there is
no doubt that Canada would soon enact
a corresponding measure.
* Nova Scotia, bttumlnous coal miners q re
already up in arms over such a posi-
bility, and are threatening revenge If
deprived of their protection of so cents
a ton. They declare that if Ontario
throws it's influence for free coal they will
do their best to- obtain free flour; and,
they say, with the coal and flour duties
knocked out, the whole national, i. e.,
high protective, policy Of Canada will
have gone glimmering.
In the meantime, it is pointed out that
the governor in council now has the power
under the tariff law to reduce the tariff on
bituminous coal to 40 cents O. ton, pro-
vided the American rebate can be con-
strued as tariff reduction in a techni-
cal sense.
S. Wilson, the well-known Toronto
Journalist, and one Of the best authori-
ties on all Canadian economic subjects
makes the following statement for The
Journal:
Toronto Ont, Jan. 17.-Hardly any
doubt remains that the permanent re-
moval of the coal tariff will lead to free
trade in coal between the two countries
The mere temporary removal Of the duty
will not be SO favorably regarded. There
is a belief here that the advantages OF
twelve months freedom from tariff re.
striction will not be a fair equivalent fol
the disturbance Of the central Canadian
market for Nova Scotia coal, while it is
doubtless a great advantage to Canadian
coal producers in British Columbia

New York, Jan. 17.-Michael H. Thomas

of his verdict being the difference between
the price of $4,000 bales Of cotton on the
day his brokers sold him out and that on

sell. He did not want to do SO, and the
brokers gave him eight minutes in which
to put up $4,000 additional margin.
He replied that the margin asked was
not in his contract, and added an order to
hold the cotton, and a threat to hold the
brokers personally responsible If they dis
obeyed his command.
The brokers sold the cotton and in
formed Mr.. Thomas. He replied that he
