ANOTHER NEW CAR COUPLER.
This One, It is Claimed Has Proved a
 Great Success.

Denver, Aug. 31.-While the M. C. B.. coupler for freight cars has been con sidered the best type of that sort of device that could be used, it is not al together automatic because it will not couple until opened and this necessi- tates trainmen going between the cars to perform this service while a train is montionless. Several months ago C. A. Dunn succeeded in perfecting an improvement since patented that over come this difficulty. Instead of a flange locking with pin and holding the cars together. they have two fianges, which give when pressed from the outside through a strong mechan ism and then inerlock and are immov- able until one of the tlanges is with drawn. This is done, as in the M. C.. coupler, with pulley attachment on the side of the car.
 As the result of recent trial of the coupler before a number of experts when it did all that was claimed for it by the inventor the Colorado & South ern has 5000 and the Union Pacific, the St. Paul, the New York Central and the Jersey Central have ordered cars equipped for test purposes.

 Word has been received in this city that Paul A. Johns has resigned as general manager of the Braganza Gold Mining company's properties in this county, says the Prescott Journal-N Mi ner. His resignation was offered to the company some three months ago, but ne was induced to remain with the company until the present time. when he insisted on being released from the duties of the responsible place. Mr. Johns is now in Chicago. but will re- turn to Prescott in a short time. He will keep his office in Prescott and will continue to be identified with the mi ming interests of this county where he has operated for over twenty years. There is not man in the county or for that matter in the west, who las bet ter reputation in mining circles than Paul A. Johns. He has worked very hard to bring the Braganza property to it's present satisfactory state of de- velopment. and still retains his inter- ests in the property, he being one of the largest stockholders in the company. For some time he has felt that his health would not permit of his con- tinuing in the responsible position he held and for this reason, very largely. he has resigned.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

Deafness is caused by an intianled condi tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta- chian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumblinS sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result. and unless the in tiammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed condi- tiCn of the mucous surfaces.

ATTEMPTED HOLD UP
Graham Co. Incident Charged to the
 MiIless nurderers.

Wednesday night a man named Whitmer was driving from Coronado to Solomonville over the Green toll road and was made the victim of an at tempted hold-up, says the Morenci- Clifton Standard. As Whitmer neared the top of the divide he was attacked by- two men who had evidently been lying in wait for him. One of the WoulGb hold-ups grabbed the horse nearest to him by the bridle while the other sung the old familiar tune of hands -up.' Just how the affair would have ended is not hard alter to guess had not the horse which the first robber had grabbed by the bride taken hand in the game. Being un- accustomed to such treatment he reared and in so doing the bridle was pulled off his head and he immediately started for home. Taking advantage of this change in the programme MT. Whitnler used the whip with one hand and his gun with the other.
 Whitmer had considerable trouble in stopping the team as they were badly Heightened, but when he did he was several miles from the place. MT, Whitmer states that he does not think he hit either one of the men, but says he undoubtedly ran over one as he passed them. Whitmer had a narrow escape as he was carrying a consider able sum of money with him at the time.
 Upon arriving in Solomonvile he immediately notified the authorities and they started in pursuit as it was thought that the two men are the same ones who murdered Melliss ill Bisbee last week.

THE OLD DOMINION COMPANY.
Estimates of the Cost of It's New
 Plant.

The estimated cost of the Old Do minion smelter is $26O, ,OOO. the concen- trator s60,OO0. the railroad s700OO, sink ing new shaft and thoroughly equip ping same S36O.000 a total of S75O0OO. Of this amount the company has all ready paid S125,000.
 The Boston News Bureau says: "So far as the opinions of the stockholders of the Old Dominion company have been obtained. there has developed no opposition to the plan to raise $500 GOO through d bond issue. It is possible the selling agents of the company will ad- vance s250,000. taking an equal amount of bonds as collateral, leaving the bal ance to be subscribed for by the stock holders. It IS believed there would be no difficulty in securing the stockhold- CTS assent to an issue of six per cent bonds at 90. A special meeting of the stockholders must. of course, be held to authorize the issue, and this will shortly be done. There are between 1900 and 1900 shareholders in the com pany."
