SHAFT TO MAJOR POWELL
Wilt Ask Congress to Erect One at
 Bright Angel

The International Geographic congress now touring the southwest and Mexico in a private train, fol- lowing their notable meeting at the St. Louis exposition, have prepared petition to the congress of the United States, signed by all mem- bers of the St. Louis meeting, ask ing congress to build great monu- ment to Major Powell. the first ad- venturous explorer of the titan of chasms, on the brink of the canyon at Bright Angel trail. This peti- tion, appropriately enough, was framed and signed by Americans and foreigners alike, while the dis tinguished party of tourists were viewing, most of them for the first time, the wonders of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. It was first drawn in the form of memo rial, but further consideration con- v;nced the foreign members of the party that 1t would be more re- spectful in the form of simple re- quest. The petition, therefore, has taken form and will be presented to congress during the short session of congress by special committee of American members of the inter national body.
 The special train bearing the geographers returned to Albuquer- que early Thursday morning from visit of two days at the canyon and the petri6ed forest. The few members of the party who were out of their berths when the train reached Albuquerque were enthusi- astic in their praise of the wonders of the canyon, the foreign members declaring it unsurpassed by any scenery in Europe. They thought it only fitting reward that the first man to venture down into it's depth should have some sort of perma. nent memorial to his daring ano scientific enterprise, and they coulc think of no more fitting place fol it's erection than on the scene of the
 beginning of his exploit.-Albu

Work to Be Rushed.

The electric road to connect the properties of the United Gold and Platinum Mines company with the branch line of the Santa Fe at Bright Angel, their terminus, on the rim of the Grand Canyon, is to rapidly pushed to completion.
 The road when completed will follow down Cataract Canyon to the very brink of the Colorado river and will enable the Grand Canyon tourist to travel from the rim of the great chasm to the waters edge in an electric car.
 This compay has taken up the enormous blanket lodges bearing gold and platinum that appear in the face of Cataract Canyon and have already done considerable work there. The ledge is sort of black sand shale and is apparently unlimited in quantity. It is pro- posed to erect a smelter down in Cataract Canyon for the treatment of the ore and thus reduce the bulk of the finished product, which can then readily be shipped by means of the electric railway.
 MT. H. J. Beemer, who is now de veloping Qnartzsite, is interested in this company with certain other New York parties, and they are to spare no expense in the develop. ment of the mining resources oi Cataract Canyon.-Gazette.

w. c. Ross of Douglas writes from Goldfield, Nev.: "This is the richest camp for gold in the world. The Jumbo mine took out two tons of ore few days ago worth $780, 900. They have four feet of ore which at the 200 foot level runs $4OOO per ton. There are fifteen feet which runs $2OOO per ton. There is a one-foot vein which runs $SO,OO0 per ton. There are twenty mines in this camp which are talk ing out 5000 per ton"

EXAMPLE OF FRONTIER PLUCK
Blind Miner Unaided Sinks Shaft
 on the Desert

Mohave county, Arizona, has produced many curiosities in the mining line, including. besides rare ores, specimen of woman who mined her own claim and a college bred man who, alone and inexpe- rienced, sunk two 200-foot shafts, selling for a round price a mine on which no man save himself had ever worked. But the best exam pie yet furnished of frontier pluck is that of Henry Ewing, blind man, who is camping out alone on the desert, and who alone is sink ing shaft on his own mine.
 The case is one of the utmost pathos. Ewing is one of the oldest residents of Northern Arizona, a man of education and refinement and of large knowledge in mines and minerals. A few months ago he became blind. Nothing daunted, he has returned to his mine, the "Nixie." near Vivian, and has re stunned work upon it, single handed. In letter written to R. B. Morri son, of Prescott, Ewing has told some of his experiences while Ego ing it blind" Incidentally, the letter is written upon typewriter, laboriously spelled out by touch.
 Ewing tells how a number of his self-constituted guardians at King man tried to keep him from going back to the mine, telling that he would be done to death by veno- nous reptiles, blown up by his own dynamite or would fall into the shaft or over some cliff But he succeeded in getting away, driving his owp wagon to the mine over the road he had so often viewed with seeing eyes. He arrived safely at the claim, where he rigged uI wires over the twenty-two foot shaft. Then he climbed into the shaft and drilled and "shot" a 30 inch blast hole. thereafter hoistine twelve buckets of ore.
 He intends to keep sinking til even 400 feet of depth has beer reached, for he believes his clain has many points of similarity witt the nearby Gold Roads mine, th' best gold producer in all of Ari zona.-Republican.
