stoIen-Felt Justified In Making the
 Purchase at the Time but Would Set
 tie the Whole Question by Giving t
 to Italy.
 New York, Nov. s.-The ancient .ec- clesiastical cope which was stolen from the cathedral of Ascoli, Italy, two years ago, and later purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan has been presented to the Italian government by MT. Morgan. The presentation was made through Baron des Planches, the Italian ann bassador, who called by appointment on MT. Morgan to-day.
 The cope is now in Victoria and AL bert museum in London, to which it
 was loaned by Mir. Morgan.
 In announcing that the precious relic
 was to be presented to his government Baron des Planches said:
 "The announcement will be received with the deepest satisfaction by all Italians. The delicacy of the situation
 which followed the purchase of the cope by MT. Morgan was fully realized and his voluntary offer to present the relic to the Italian government was gladly accepted. It was a most gracious act on MT. Morgan's part and will win for h i'm Ia, rf 11e TA1r ian people"
 The ambassador said that when he was invited by his government to pen; negotiations with MT, Morgan looking ito the eventual return of the cope, he called to his assistance General di Ces- nola, director of the Metropolitan nlu- scum in this city, to whom MT. Morgan intimated that if only he could be sure that the relic was stolen he would not hesitate in placing it in the hands of its owners. At a final meeting to-day
 Mir, Morgan said he felt justified in making the purchase at the time he Idid. He had no reason to question the right of possession to the relic from the person from whom he made the pur- chase, but in view of the discussion and question of rightful possession which had arisen he had determined to lsettle the entire matter by presenting lit to the Italian government.
 | The cope was presented By Pope 1 Nicholas " to Ascoli, his native place. Tt is a French work of the thirteenth century and IS one of the finest speci- mems of fetia1 art of that period that has been preserved. It was stolen from the cathedral of Ascoli in 1902 land efforts to trace if failed until last July, when letter appeared in the
 Giornale d'Italia from the director of the galleries of Florence, saying that the cope was on exhibition at the South lKensington museum, London, where it appeared as the property of "A we'll known American collector'
 I A month later the rector at Ascoli land several priests were summoned to appear before the court, which was Investigating the theft of the cope. Two J days later a sensation was caused when lit became known that Rockingham, a l photographer, who had been arrested in connection with the case had hanged himself in his cell. He left a note stat ling that he was innocent and intinat- ling that the real thief was one high in
 Italian circles. Despite q thorough
 search no trace has been obtained of
 the thieves.

TRAGEDY AT WILCOX
Mrs. Snow Accidentally Shot by
Editor of Range News

There was a horrible tragedy at
Wilcox last Friday morning. Mrs.
Warren Snow was accidentally shot
and killed by S. N. Kemp, editor
and proprietor OF the Arizona Range
News. The first news of the de-
plorable accident which came to
Phoenix was received Saturday by
Territorial Secretary Nichols in a
letter from Wilcox. 1t contained
few details of the shooting.
Mrs. Snow had called on Mrs.
Kemp and the ladies were sitting
at table in the dining room about
9o'clock in the morning. Mr.. Kemp
was in the room engaged in clean
ing a shotgun, which in some way
was exploded, the charge taking off
the top of the head of Mrs. Snow.
Mrs. Snow was the wife of War
rem Snow, the consta BILE of Wilcox
precinct, and had lived in that town
for several years. Mr.. Kemp moved
to Wilcox about three years ago,
succeeding Horace Dunlap as pro-
prietor of the Range News.-Re-

An Erroneous Statement.

Charges have been made in Wash
ington against Ben Grove, head
ranger of the forest reserve, for
killing game and catching fish out
OF season. Grove is located in the
Mogollon mountains, and it is al
legged that he has been catching
trout from Oak creek and killing
deer in that neighborhood. 1t is
said that the deer has been seen
hanging in his camp, and that he
has told people who have visited
his camp that he had been catching
fish in Oak creek during the past
month. All this information has
been sent to Washington, and Mr..
Grove will have to face an investi-
gation.-Jerome News.
On Monday at Flagstaff we in
terviewed Mr.. Grove relative to the
above item and obtained his side of
the story. He told us that he had
been performing his official duties
on Oak creek and had investigated
complaints against other people
there for catching trout out of sea-
son, but that they were unfounded.
He knows of no charges having
been filed against him in Washing
ton, and says if they have been he
is prepared to show there is no truth
in them. He has also written to
the Jerome News to learn from
what source they got their informa-
ton, and stated that if anything
further comes up he would inform
US, that the public may know that
he is performing his duties to the
best of his ability.

Going to Alaska
BY NELLIE y. DODGE

to laugh at the sea-sick, soon began
to feel that they had to face the
dangers of heavy storm at sea.
1t was customary at that time
for ships to make the trip up
through the narrows, or inside pass
age, as it was sometimes called, to
Juneau. To do this the law re
quires an experienced pilot on each
boat. AS we had no pilot and the
captain was new to these waters, 1T
was necessary for us to take the
open ocean to our destination.
About forty eight hours after
passing out of the straits, the storm
beca me SO heavy that it was unsafe
to continue our course, and the cap
tain decided to put the boats head
to the storm, which was from the
southwest, and "ride it out"
After drifting about for week,
it was found that the fresh water
was getting low, and it was neces-
sary that an effort be made to get
our boat back into her course.
There had been about fifty head
of stock stalled on the forward part
of the upper deck. The captain
ordered that all these be killed and
thrown overheard, together with
the hay, grain and lumber that was
also stored there, in order to tighten
the ships bow, which was flooded
by each enormous wave
The killing of the stock was both
difficult and dangerous. At first
they tried shooting the poor ami
mails, which had already become
torn and mutilated by being thrown
about in their stalls during the
storm. The first shot was fired
about 9 o'clock in the morning, but
on account of the rolling and pitch
ing of the boat, at the end of two
hours they had succeeded in killing
only two of the horses and mutt
lated others. The services of the
ships butcher were then called in
and with the use of a knife he sue
ceeded in finishing the miserable
task.
The work then began by all who
would take hand of throwing the
animals overheard. This was ex-
ceedingly dangerous, for as the boat
turned on it's side and they would
rush to the low railing to throw
an animal over, there was danger
of the men going over too. We who
were in the first cabin were unwill,
ing witnesses to all this, as our state
rooms were on the same deck. There
were still eighty-six dogs and one
burro in the hold, but as they were
down in the bottom of the boat they
did no harm and were allowed tc
be taken on through, but after the
fresh water gave out these poor
animals suffered much; many die
not live long after landing
So great was the strain upon the
men that three of them went in.
sane, one taking a large butcher
knife and making an attempt or
several lives; he was soon disarmed
Some of the poor fellows woulc
have shot themselves or thrown
themselves overheard if it had no
been for their companions.

gone, the strain began to tell OF
us all.

Some Copper Statistics.

Figuring upon an average of 5
per cent of copper in the ore, it is
estimated that the Copper Queen
will put out at it's new smelter at
Douglas, when all of it's five fur
naces are at work, S5,0OO,0O0 lbs
of copper a year, which would be
greater than Calumet & Hecla's s
output and we'll up to the Anaconda.
The copper output for April of
the Old Dominion, Arizona, is re-
ported at 100000 pounds, the
largest in its history.
A solid mass of copper weighing
seven tons was recently taken from
the Adventure mine, Michigan.
Annual meetings of the Calumet
q Arizona. Calumet & Pittsburg,
and the Junction Development
companies have been held in Bis
bee.
The United States produced in
1880, 27,0OO tons of copper; in 1891
12S,175 tone, and in 1903, as esti-
mated by Aron Hirsch & Son, 241,
OIL tons.
The United Verde Copper com
pany continues to keep three fur
naces turning out bullion. The
necessity of roasting ores from this
mine has been brought down to a
point where it looks as if roasting
would soon be done AWAY with.
During the first quarter of 1904
the Shannon Mining company (Ari
zona) produced 3,249,553 pounds
of refined copper, or just about hal.
of it's entire production for 1903
The 1908 production was 6,55S, ,72(
pounds of refined copper.
