Jones of Bisbee was the star athlete
of the day and made twenty points for
his team; exactly one-half Of all the
points won by his team. His perform
ance was truly remarkable in that he
entered six events and won points in
each. taking three firsts, one second
and two third places.
For the University Hatcher took
more points than any other one COM
petitor, making ten points in all. In
consideration of the fact that the Uni
versity had lost five athletes who were
relied upon to take points in the con-
test, and recognizing the fact that
this was the first meet in which the
University of Arizona has ever con-
tested, it must be admitted that it
made remarkably good showing A
great deal of credit is due Director
Hates for his training and coaching of
the team, and especially for his work
in the field in preparing his men for
events and in handling his men on the
track. Each man was given the most
careful working out and rubbing before
his event, a performance which is alb
solutely essential to good results and
one which Bisbee entirely overlooked.
This is but the beginning of athletic
activity at the University Of Arizona

Installing New Machinery

G. w. Platt, postmaster at Kirk
land and general manager of the
Illizona Mining Company's prop
erty, was down on a business trip
for the Sheriff S office this week.
He reports that the Illizona Com
pany is pushing work in good
shape. A depth of 200 feet has
been reached, and a 2O-horse power
hosting engine is being installed.
Air-compressors and machine drills
will soon follow. AS soon as these
new appliances are in work will be
rushed till the 500-foot level is
reached. We wish the company
the success that such enterprise

.ORO GRANDE is ALIVE
Test Run to Be Made
Today
WORK RUSHING ON PIPELINE
Five Additional Stamps Are to Be
Added as Soon as the Present
Test Run Is Completed

The Orc Grande people are prob
ably making a run today with the
5-stampmill. They have been work
ing all the week putting in the
pump for the pipeline down on the
Hassayampa. This run will be
the last they will make till they
get an additional five stamps added
to the mill. The few test runs that
have been made with the seepage
water in the mine have demon
strated that the Orc Grande can be
operated at profit with a 10-stamp
mill, and the management has con-
cluded that it had as well be run
ming while it is getting ready to in
stall the purposed big mill.
Monday Frank Czarnowski and
a News-Herald man visited the
Orc Grande camp, which will, some
of these days, be one of the biggest
and busiest mining camps in Ari-
zona, and while there saw the re-
suit of some of the test runs that
had been made with the 5-stamp
mill, and it was, indeed, very fiat
tering. Energy and good judgment
will always win in mining, as well
as in any other field of human en-
deavor, and hence the Orc Grande
will succeed in spite of all the
drawbacks that have beset it. And
we are glad to see success crown
the efforts made. Especially are
we glad, because, since we have
been in this part of the Lords vine
yard, we have heard great many
unkind remarks about some of
those who have had charge of the
property, and we are glad to see
them outlive and belle their ira
ducers by making a success out of
the mine.

That Is the Verdict of
the Engineers
WHO EXAMINED THE ALASKA
One Hundred and Eight Samples
Were Taken, Assaying From
$4 to $I20 to the Ton

D. J. Sullivan, of The United
Gold Mines Company, has just re-
ceived a report made by c. J.
Stone, mining engineer for Dick
man, Mackenzie Il Potter, on the
Ohio and Alaska mines, owned by
the company, which is very COM
plete and comprehensive, yet sim
pie and easily understood. In the
examination 108 samples were
taken, the assays ranging from "a
to $120 per ton. The report shows
that values increased with depth in
the mines, a circumstance which is
always very favorable and encour-
aging in mining. The report esti-
mates that there are 184S tons of
ore now blocked out in the mines.
of the value of $30.27 per ton. Mr..
Dickman, one of the members of
the above-named firm, in personal
letter to Mr.. Sullivan, says: "This
report is based upon data gained
by a personal examination by Mr..
Mackenzie of this firm, and the
sampling of our c. j. Stone. The
results show that in Alaska shaft
No. 4 there has been developed an
almost continuous ore shoot in the
shaft now 316 feet in depth and the
same ore is still present in the
bottom. This ore averages $31.22
per ton, including every sample
Tfaken at exact ten-foot intervals
over the entire development, vary
ing from $1.6O to $90.40 per ton.
/ feel perfectly warranted in say
ing to you that it is seldom that
such a showing is made on an
equal amount of work, and that
expenditure is we'll warranted in
developing this property. The
proximity to the Congress mine
and the fact that the conditions are
so nearly alike, with the difference
somewhat in favor of economy at
the Alaska, furnishes very valna-
BILE corroborative evidence of con-
tinuity in size and value of the
ore already shown in the Alaska. D

ROBBED AND BEATEN
Phil Virgins of WicKenburg Victim
of a Phoenix Burglar

A bold daylight burglary was
committed yesterday, when man
entered the room in the old Arizona
Lodging-House, First and Jackson
streets, occupied by Phil Virgins
of Wickenburg, and, finding the
occupant asleep, rifed his pockets.
AS the robber was in the midst of
his work Virgins awoke, and when
he saw what the fellow was about,
he attempted to arise. The bur-
glar struck at Virgins, hitting him
in the left eye, struck him again on
the forehead and a third time on
the left ear. Then the burglar fed.
He was later arrested by the police
and gave the name of d. Crawford.
Virgins came to this city from
Wickenburg several days ago. Hav-
ing nothing to do yesterday after
noon he returned to his room and,
drawing a curtain across the door
leading to the hallway, lay down

Didn't Take the lob

Dr. w. S. Smith of Prescott, who
came down to look into the propo-
sition of medical man for the Oc-
tave Gold Company, was pleas
ant caller at the News-Herald of

had decided not to accept the posi-
ton, because he thought that he
was making as much in Prescott as
he could make at there. Although
he liked the looks of the camp and
was very pleasantly treated, he did
not think it advisable to move.

Back to Old Mississippi

John l.. Dodge, M. D., who has
for some time been the Octave Gold
Company's physician, has resigned
to 90 back to his old home in Mis-
sissippi. The doctor came here
originally for the health of bis
wife, who died soon after his arri-
val here, he not having been for
tunate enough to get into this
model climate sooner with her.
The doctor was himself in rather
poor health, but has gained a great
deal during his stay here.
The doctor goes away with the
best wishes of a large circle of Ari-
IONA friends he has made since he
came here. His services at the
mine have been highly satisfactory
to the miners and to the company,
if reports go for anything. DIR. w.
S. Smith, who came down from
Prescott to take the place vacated
by DR.. Dodge, did not accept the
situation, and DR.. Dodge will re-
main till some one else can be had
Perhaps he may allow himself to be

on the bed and was soon fast asleep,
says the Republican of Tuesday.
1t is presumed that the burglar,
in passing through the hallway,
saw Virgins lying on the bed, and,
realizing shat he was asleep, thorght
it was a favorable opportunity to
make little haul. He partially
completed his search and secured
a pair af gloves, pocket knife, a
pair of shoes and $1.25 in money,
before Virgins awoke.
The blows the burglar dealt Wig
gins did more than ordinary dam
age, as he was holding the pocket
knife in his hand when he struck
the blows. The knife was closed,
but the rough bone of the handle
struck Virgins about half an inch
from the left eye and cut the flesh.
All the stolen property was found
in Crawford's possession. He is a
white man, probably thirty years
of age and was comparatively we'll
dressed. He has been in Phoenix
about two weeks and has been with
out employment.

phia has just arrived to take charge
of the Rincon Mines Company's
property. He has taken up quar-
ters at the Martinez Hotel. Two
hosting engines will be put on
shortly and the property will be
developed as rapidly as possible.
The company is going to work in
very business-like way, and Mr..
Mortimer, as we'll as his fore
man, Mr. Phillips, understands his
business and will make go of the
proposition. Martinez expects much
from this enterprise and we think
her expectations are we'll founded
Mr.. Genung, who sold the mine, is
taking an active interest in the
matter and is giving the boys the
benefit of his wide experience in
the mines of this section. Here's
success to you, gentlemen.

To the Great Beyond

Matthews died of consumption.
She had come here a few months
ago from her home in Washington,
D. c., for her health. She came
here for the reason that she had
relatives here, and for the further
reason that this is really a model
climate for people affected with
lung trouble. When she first came
here she went to Congress and
stayed with Mrs. Cannon, and
seemed to get along quite well un-
til about a month ago, when she
was taken suddenly very i'll, and
then she was brought here and
made comfortable in the house of
her uncles, John and Dick Bullard,
a trained nurse having been
brought here from Phoenix to take
care of her. Her brother, Charley
Matthews, who is treasurer of the
Martinez Mercantile Company, with
her uncles, spared no trouble or
expense to restore her to health.
Many of the ladies of the towns
around lent willing and kind hands
to help the sick girl, in fact, all
that tender nursing and medical
skill could do was done to save her
life. Several days before her death
it was announced by DR.. bennett,
who had labored faithfully, that
the case was beyond the aid of
medical skill, and the many sym
pathetic words that were heard
showed what a lovely character the
suffering girl possessed, for, though
she was i'll when she came here she
made friends like magic.
When it was known that her an
gclic spirit had taken it's flight from
this world of trouble and Suffering
large number of her friends gath
cred to bid adieu to all that re-
manned of their little friend, and
none went away dry-eyed. To
stand in the presence of death is,
at any time, sad enough, but to
stand by the bier of blooming
youth, stricken at the beginning of
brilliant career, is the saddest
sight in store for sympathetic eyes,
and the sadness that touches the
hearts of mere acquaintances and
newly made friends with such aches
must indeed crush the hearts that
had known and loved the dear de-
parted from her days of cooling
babyhood, through her years of
prattling childhood, only to see her
called over on the other side, just
as she reached life's happiest es-
tate.
The heavy grief that is thus re-
allied by the friends of the rela-
tives can prompt none but the
deepest sympathy for the bereaved
relatives.
John Bullard, an uncle of the
deceased, accompanied the remains
back to Washington for interment.
Besides the relatives left here to
mourn her loss there are her mother,
Mrs. Mary E. Matthews of Wash
ington, D. c., with whom lives
sister, Annie; also married sister,
Mrs. William Wheatley of Culpep-
per, Va, and two brothers, Robert
and William, of Pine Bluff, Ark,
and large number of uncles and
aunts in various parts Of the coun-
try.

CHICAGO MAYOR HELD,
Carter Harrison is Among Those
Blamed by Coroner for Fright
fut lrcquois Theatre Tragedy.

A Chicago dispatch says: The Iro-
quois jury, which for three weeks has
been listening to evidence relative to
the Iroquo:s theatre fire, returned a
verdict by which the following per
sons are held to await the action of a
grand jury:
Carter H. Harrison, mayor of Chi.
cago. ?
William ]. Davis, proprietor in part
and manager of theatre.
George Williams, building commits
sioner of Chicago
Edward Laughlin, building inspector
under Williams.
William Sallers, fireman in theatre.
James E. Cummings, stage carpen-
ter.
William McMultin, who had charge
of the light that caused the fire.
1t was not generally thought that
the jury would be able to make re-
port so promptly. There were over
100000 words Of testimony. and each
juror, according to law, would be com
PEELED to sign his name to the testi-
mony of each witness, which meant
that each man would be compelled to
write his name 572 times.
1t was at once decided by the coro-
ner that all men who should be held
by the verdict. to the grand jury.
should be taken into custody at once.
He, therefore, at once prepared war
rants for their arrest and called upon
the police department for officers to
serve them.
"The cause of the fire was drapery
coming into contact with a flood or
arc light; city laws were not complied
with, relating to building ordinances,
regulating fire alarm boxes, fire ap-
paratus, damper or flues on and over
the stage and fly galleries.
The findings of the jury were as FOL-
lows:
violation Of the ordinance requir-
ing fire proofing of scenery and all
woodwork on and about the stage.
Asbestos curtain was ,~holly made
euate and was entirely destroyed.
Building ordinances violated in
that aisIes were inclosed on each
side of the lower boxes, and absence
of fire apparatus on the orchestra
floor.
Building ordinances violated in
that there was no fire apparatus in
the gallery or first balcony.
"Will J. Davis was held responsible
as president and general manager. He
was primarily responsible for the OBJ
servance of the laws and was bound
to see that his employees were proper
ly instructed as to their duties in
case of fire.
In relation to Mayor Harrison, the
verdict reads as follows:
eve hold Carter H. Harrison. as
mayor of the city of Chicago, respon-
sible. as he has shown lamentable
lack of force, and for his efforts to
escape responsibility, evidenced by
the testimony of Building Commission
er Williams ard Fire Marshal Mush'
am. Heads of departments under said
Carter H. Harrison following this
weak course have given Chicago in
efficient service which makes such ca
lamit:es as the Iroquois theatre hor-
ror a menace until the public service
is purged of inccmpetents.
