Black Hills Tunnel Project.

The Black Hills tunnel committee held meeting oa Wednesday evening of last week, at which all the members who were in town were present. There was but little left for the committee to do at present as all the preliminary steps have been taken and the survey and location of the line is in progress now. MT. Fogg submitted to the committee for It's information the re- ports he had received from Engineer J. J. Fisher, also submitting for their examination the location notices pre- pared for locating the tunel As the United States law only provides for a tunnel location 5000 feet in length the tunnel will be located with suc- cessive locations along its entire line, requiring from nine to ten locations.
 On Thursday MT. Fogg left for the east where he will join his family at Wiscassett, Maine, where they are spending the summer and where he will recuperate, the altitude here hay ing commenced to tell on his health. He expects to return to Prescott again in the early part of October and will probably remain for month and will go to Washington immediately on the assembling of congress in December, prepared to ask for congressional recognition of this mammoth enter prise, in the way of securing a fraD- chise as we'll as for securing aid in certain ways to carry it through.

LIGHTNING HIT
 ELKS' BUILDING
Terrific Thunder Storm
 on Sunday.
Granite Creek Carries the Biggest Flood Since February, Eigh-
 teen Hundred Ninety-0ne.

Prescott was visited on Saturday by one of the heaviest rain storms of the season. The rain came from the east and as storms from that direction usually are, was preceded by quite a heavy wind for few minutes. Tue little water course east of Prescott was raging torrent and washed out the approaches to the bridge just be- low Judge Moore's residence. The streets were veritable creeks for few minutes but as the rain did not ex- tened south of town there was no great rise in Granite creek.
 On Sunday though the flood gates of heaven were opened south of town and one of the biggest floods that Granite creek has seen for thirteen years came down that stream. A Mexican woman, and her baby, only one day old, in the south part of town was for a time in danger of being washed down the stream, but hack was procured and they were removed to a place of safety. On Willis street the waters were so high that they left the creek and coursed down Granite street and the alley between Granite and Monte zuma streets, marooning a number of houses for time. The water on Willis street backed up to the Ehle corner on Montezuma street. The water has not been higher since the big food of 1891, but it did not remain at flood tide very long.
 The storm on Sunday occurred be- tween Il and F o'clock, just as servi- ces were being held in the churches, and was accompanied by one of the most vivid electrical displays ever witnessed here. Flash of lightning followed flash with an almost continu- ous accompaniment of thunder. Lightning struck the Elks' building, which is under course of construction, startling the worshippers in the Epis- copal church which is close to 1t. The building was damaged to an extent of about S200. The lightning struck one of the trusses over the opera house part of the building shiveriDg the timbers and knocking the iron bolts from them as if they were made of paper.
 4 piece of one of the timbers about six or eight inches long and about two inches square was hurled clear across the street, falling on the walk in front of the Congress House.

WAGERED LIFE
 ON TURN OF CARD
Big Stakes Played by
 Tom QuOng.
Lost in the Game and Paid the Wager by Hanging
 Himself.

Tom Quong, proprietor of the Del
 Monte restaurant paid a wager Tues
 day morning with his life. Quong
 was a we'll known restaurant man in
 Prescott and was doing a prosperous business in the Del Monte. Like many another man of his own race as we'll as of the Caucasian race he was not satisfied with the dollars that
 rolled into his purse from the busi- ness, but wanted some "get rich quick plan and went to gambling.
 In this he did not prosper however, as we'll as in his restaurant business and instead of winning he lost The
 more be lost the greater was bis desire to win back his losings as we'll as to add to it. His money becoming ex- hausted he resorted to borrowing from
 bIs friends and still he lost He bor- rowed and lost until he became des- perate and in his desperation he wagered his life against the turn of the cards, having become in the meantime hopelessly involved in debt. The game went against him and QuoDg repaired to the cellar beneath the Del Monte building with a small cord in his hand to pay the wager.
 A water pipe runs diagonally across the ceiling of this cellar and Quong tied one end of the little cord to this pipe. He then placed light, empty box immediately beneath the suspend ed cord, mounted the box and pre- pared deftly tied moose on the other end of the cord, slipped the moose over hIs head, pulled it tightly around his neck and then kicked the box from underneath him, being sus- pended in the air So low is the ceil- Ing of the cellar that when the moose frightened up and with the sag in the water pipe his feet nearly touched the ground beneath him.
 At what hour of the night the affair happened is not known, but when one of the employees of the restaurant went to the cellar this morning for some thing there, right in front of the door, and within four or five feet of it, bis gaze met the lifelesss form of his epmloyer. He did not tarry long, but hastily retreated up stairs and found Shorty" Whaley and whisper ed in his ear his gruesome find. Whaley notified the officers and the sheriff and his deputies summoned a jury and Justice Talbot presided at an inquest which was held over the re- mains.
 The lifeless form of Tom Quong, which had been permitted to remain suspended to the water pipe was the silent witness that told the whole story. Other witnesses were called to identify the remains and a verdict of suicide was quickly reached by the jury.

Mackenzie Gordon Concert,

The concert given by Mackenzie Gordon, on Friday evening in the auditorium of the high school build ing was most successful entertain ment. The room was crowded with an appreciative audience and the programe was excellent and the num- bers excellently rendered. MT. Gordon was assisted by Edward Grunsfield, of Albuquerque, manager for the Equitable Life Assurance company, pianist of splendid abili ties and by pr. W. s. Smith, Pres cott's favorite violinist. The latter was accompanied on the piano by his wife, while MT. Grunsfield in addition to being on the programme for two numbers also accompanied MT. Cor don on the piano.
 4 more delightful evening of music has seldom, if ever been enjoyed in Prescott, and each number received an encore. Mir. Gordon has rich, full, sweet voice and has perfect control of it, and has had success both in opera and concert on the stage, but was compelled to come to Arizona for his health.
 While not a professional, Mir. Gruns- field has complete mastery of the piano, while as violinisC Mir. Smiths reputation is so we'll estab- lished in Prescott that no further comment is necessary.
 The concert was given for the bene- fit of manual training in the Prescott public schools and a neat little sum was obtained for that purpose. The programme follows:

The chemical and physi- ca laboratories are supplied with every convenience for class room and individual note book work. The same may be said of each individual depart ment of the institution.

Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1904-08-17

Examinations of the known gold
 prospects in the belt tributary to
 Juneau, Alaska, indicate that they
 are of sufficient promise to warrant
 all the work now in prorgess and the
 expenditure of still more capital in
 development work. Such is the con-
 clusion of MT. Arthur c. Spencer, of
 the United States Geological Survey,
 who with MT. Charles W. Wright,
 spent the summer of 19U3 making a
 detailed study of the geology and
 mineral resources of a limited area
 including the Alaska -Treadwell and
 associated mines near Juneau. MT.
 Spencer has written a short paper on
 the Geology of the Juneau Gold Belt,
 Alaska, which is published by the survey in Bulletin 225, entitled Con tributions to Economic Geology, 1903. The Juneau gold belt re- sembles the gold belt of California in several ways. The various rocks that occur in this part of southeastern Alaska are sim liar in character and partly equivalent in age to those forming the country rock of the Mother Lode distrct, and there is also a definite linear distribution of some of the gold bearing veins par allel with the general strike of the bed rock formations. As in the Cali fornia gold belt, however. there are many independent deposits lying out side the main complex of lodes. has been in progress in different parts of this belt since 1876, but the main incentive to vigorous came with the discovery of the Gold Creek placer and the founding of Juneau in 1880. The first mine to be put upon a productive basis was the Alaska Treadw ell, on Douglas Island about two miles south west of Juneau. This property was opened in 1881, and it continued to SAO" III lnpOf fodhCo lOl SeNoAdl yodISs so that by 1898 it had reached practi- cally its present rating as one of the great mines of the world. The dis covery of the Klondike, however, in 1896, gave a great impetus to pros pecting in the interior of British Columbia and Alaska and caused the reigon tributary to Juneau to be temporarily abandoned as field for investment. It may be said that only now, after seven years, has the district regained the position which 1 it appears to have held in 1896.
