THE Roos INQUEST.
Evidence Submitted Indicated That
 Her Poisoning Was Accidental.

Evidence Submitted Indicated That
 Her Poisoning Was Accidental.
 Phoenix, Sept. 20.-Hearing in the inquisition concerning the cir circumstances attending the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Roos was resumed yes terday morning before Justice Burnett. The evidence brought out constituted an account similar to the Republicans story of the tragedy yesterday morn ing, though it rather strengthened the theory of accidental poisoning.
 Tn the story of yesterday it was stated that Dr. Tafel said that when he reached the side of the unfortu- nate woman she murmured "strych- nine". That was all the doctor heard for he hurried away to his house near by for medical appliances. Her hus- band reached her side at the time and heard her say, "strichnine." and also heard her add, "by mistake: help"
 It was also brought out that her married life had been a happy one that she had not been subject to fits oi despondency, and that except for an indisposition of which she had com plained that morning she was as cheer full as ever. It is generally believed that the jury will find that the pois oning was accidental.

NOTES OF MINING CARRYING
 GENERAL INTEREST TO COPPERS

A contributor to the Mining Reporter takes the following view of the cop per market:
 The feature of the copper market for the year nas been the comparative ly low home consumption coupled with an unprecedented export to Europe. The foreign exports are at least 45 per cent greater this year than last and will undoubtedly exceed the year 1902. The importance of the latter may be gauged by the statement that 1902 was the record year of Europe's importation of copper from the United States. From the first of January to the end of August the United States exported to Europe about 10000 tons, as against 16S.000 for the whole of 1902. There is no sign of this move ment diminishing in force. It may on the contrary increase in view of the fact the European copper stocks show on the whole. decrease More over, the present price of about 12 1-2 cents will tend to stimulate purchase.
 We may safely predict that the cop per stocks in the United States will show a decrease by the end of the year. To calculate the possibilities let us take the following data: We may safely estimate an output for the year 1904 of 325. 900 tons; the stocks on hand at the commencement of the year were 75.000 tons; the imports will be about 75,000 tons. giving total visible supply. for the year, of 475,- 900 tons. This is disposed by home and exports. The con- sumption of copper in the United States is about 1S.000 tons a month or about 320-000 tons per annum. The exports to Europe for the year thus

eusrAMENTE WAS CAPTURED.

Prescott, Sept. 20.-Andres Busta- mente, who shot and instantly killed Justice Reynolds at Crown King last Friday night, is today under guard of five men at Columbia, small station about fifty miles south of this place.
 Bustamente was captured this morn ing there after hard fight with three officers. He was tracked to the house of a woman by three of Sheriff Rob- erts' deputies and surprised while asleep. As soon as awakened Busta- mente got his rifle and before Deputy Mike Welch could defend himself he had been struck two vicious blows over the head, falling to the floor in a senseless condition.
 The other two deputies closed in on the Mexican, and by beating him se- verely with revolvers were able to get handcuffs on his wrists.

GREENE CONSOLIDATED.
The Cananea Herald says:

The declining tendency of late in evidence in Greene Consolidated Cop per has given rise to more or less bear
 ish inferences it being reasoned in some quarters that the inside interests
 were liquidatiug, in order to more
 readily support Greene Consolidated stock. AS a matter of fact, however, there has been no great amount of selling, nor are there any develop ments in the property which should make for pessimism. The report that the Greene Consolidated Copper com pany is averaging only about per cent in the lower levels of the mines is said to have no existence in fact, these ores varying very little from the workings above. It is stated that from April to July the rock show ed an average of 73 copper. During July there were mined and treated 31 900 tons of ore. showing a total output of 4,400,o00 pounds, or Fl per cent copper, and in addition Az, 900 ounces of silver and 376 ounces of gold. The balance of the production of 5,500,000 pounds was sent to Fl Paso in the form of concentrates. It is pointed out that the Greene Consoli- dated Copper Company does not, like other mining companies. include in their average fluxing ores, which con- tain a large excess of iron and but very little copper. If such ores were included. the average for July would show copper contents of nearly per cent.

A bit of domestic tragedy came to light yesterday in the application of
 Mrs. Severiano Valencia to an attorney
 for information as to whether she could sell the home of herself and Val encia on Chihuahua Hill. Half insane with grief. the woman wanted the
 money in order to pursue her husband
 and her Kidnapped son.
 Valencia left this city with the only
 child of the couple on Monday. He secured the child on the pretext that he wished to take him to get pair of shoes before his wife went with the boy to her mother at Nogales. she pro posing to separate from Valencia. The pair did not come back. Later Mrs Valencia learned that they had gone to
 Fl Paso. Valencia took everything she had of a negotiable character be fore leaving. and she has no money with which to live. much less to fol
 low him Yesterday she learned that | it was doubtful whether she could sell the house.
 Valencia left his wife several months ago to visit Fl Paso, he claimed, for medical treatment. During the weeks following his arrival there he wrote tc his wife repeatedly to send him mon ley. The devoted woman sent all the
 money and jewelry she had, and then converted everything in the house that
 she could pawn into cash and forward ed that. After she had reduced her self to absolute want. she learned that Valencia was living with another wom an at Fl Paso, into whose han6s her hard earned money had gone. A couple of weeks ago. funds being shut off, Valencia returned here. His wife informed him that she would nc longer live with him. and set about earning the money to go to her mother at Nogales. Valencia consented to her departure. and then stole the child.

far have been in the neighborhood of 150,000 tons or about 1S.5OO tons a month. The indications are that this export rate will be maintained and 1t is as certain as anything can be that September at least will show an export of 10000 tons. At this rate the ex- port for the year will reach 225, 5,00O (tond. but allowing for a decrease, which is possible, but not probable, we may figure on an export of 200.- 900 tons. Thus we have disposed of 440,0O0 tons. leaving stock on hand of 35.OOO tons at the end of the year, as against 75.000 tons for the con- mencement.
 Now these ideas are based on ad. mitedly uncertain figures, but we have carefully weighed every fact and can not but believe that the deduction drawn is very close to the truth. To corroborate the deduction we may call attention to the fact that Phelps, Dodge & Co are sold clean out to Oc. tober and that the United Metals Com. pany have but small supply on hani to meet September demands.
 Now what do these facts portend? May we not safely deduce from them that copper prices will advance some what? There is no question in our mind but that copper will reach 13 cents or better We do not wish to see the old-time flurries and absurd prices asked for the red metal This but reacts on mining and causes disturb ances in the manufacturing business that can only be harmeful. We do look, however. for the price of copper to go to the point where broad business principles require it to go- between 12 and If cents a pound.

DETECTIVES ON THE
TRAIL
After Anonymous Letter Writ
erS Who threaten to Blow
Up S. p. Trains

Fresno, Cal, Jan. 29.-There have
nection with the sensational story that
an anonymous letter writer has been
in communication with Southern Pa
cifc officials, threatening that unless
$4,000 were paid him every train on
the line between Los Angeles and
Stockton would be wrecked.
1t appears that five such threaten
ing letters have gone through the
mails, four from Fresno and the other
from the adjoining county of MADEIRA
1t is for this reason that the detec-
tives are swarming hereabouts on an
investigation of the case
They have learned one other impor-
tant fact. That was the discovery last
Friday of a cache of percussion caps
in a cabin not far from the Calwa
Winery, southwest of town. The cab
in had been occupied by two hoboes,
the last known concerning whom was
when they were seeen heading towards
Fresno.
Before this discovery a boy found
on the track near the CalWa winery
u stick of dynamite with seventeen
feet of fuse attached. The fuse had
not been lighted. The percussion
caps were of the same kind as found
in the cabin. The boy brought his
find TO the railroad officials.

MAYOR nor HELD.
RESPONSIBLE
Carter Harrison, the Court
Says, Was in No Wa, to
Blame for lroquois Fire

Chicago, JAM 2S.-Mayor Carter H.
Harrison has been ordered by Judge
Tuthill to be Immediately discharged
from custody, from any responsibility
for the wholesale loss of life in the
Iroquols theater fire. The judge de-
clared that the mayor was In no way
whatever guilty or liable and that the
coroner's jury in ordering Mayor Har-
rison held to the grand jury had put
an unjust stigma on the mayor who
had failed in no particular whatever
even in omission or commission.
Following his release, Mayor Harri-
son made the following statement to
the Associated Press:
1.-The only possible feature which the
jury were able to find, connecting me
with the Iroquois fire disaster, was
the alleged negligence and incompe-
tency of my appointees, Fire Chief
Musham and Building inspector Will
nans | went to call attention to the
fact that Chief Musham has been con-
nected with the Chicago Fire Depart
ment for forty years, 5eginning at the
bottom of the ladder, and winning his
way to the position of Assistant Chief
by the gallant and heroic conduct OF
n lifetime. Upon the retirement OF
Chief Sweenie l appointed Musham
chief The appointment was on mer-
its and met with unanimous approval.
When the position of Building Com
missioner became vacant last summer
/ Invited the Builders Club, the As
sociation of Architects and various
non-partisan professional organiza-
tions to name the best available man
for the vacancy. They named Mr..
williams, a Republican, and gave me
the strongest testimonials to his char
acter and efficiency. | appointed him
and he entered most earnestly upon
his duties. Both of these men were
ideal appointments. The imputation
of guilt upon these two men is un-
iugtifable, but to strike at me over
their heads is little short of infamy,
In delivering his opinion Judge Tut
hin said:
II have gone over the testimony OF
Fire Ma. shall Musham and Building
Commissioner Williams and the May
or particularly and ! can say without
qualifications or hesitation that
ind not one word in the evidence, as
far as l have examined 1t. which
tends even remotely in my Judgment,
TO show that the mayor had any
knowledge of this matter, or that he
was in any respect negligent OF any
duty imposed upon him by the laws
or by the rules that commonly apply
to persons who are responsible for
the safety of others
II find that there were gross viola
tions, not only of the city ordinances,
but of common rules of safety that
anybody without any expert know
ledge. would have said were absolute
Iy essential at the Iroquois. But how
the mayor, who is simply at the head
OF the city government, could be held
responsible for any misconduct on his
part in view of this evidence, l can
not conceive.
