H. J. ALLEN SUICIDES.
According To Instructions, His Friends
 Arrived in Time to Hear The Shot.

Jerome, Ariz., Jan. S.-The town was terribly shocked today upon hear ing that H. J. Allen, who for the past thirteen years has had charge Of the United Verde Copper company's office in this place, had committed suicide by shooting himself through the head while at his ranch in the Verde valley.
 MT. Allen went to his ranch, last night. in company with Dr.. Woods, the cOmpany's physician. This morning, shortly after 10 o'clock the Chinese cook awoke them, Mir. Allen saying that he thought he could sleep while bPGfBek rft.nIned to .his-hed. About II son-in-law, in company with MT. Cover, the company's auditor who had arrived the night before drove up to the rarch and heard the report of & gun in the house. Mir. Campbell rushed into the house and into MT. Aliens room where he found him on his bed dying from the result of d wound in the head from a 4l-calibre revolver.
 There is no doubt that the deed was done in fit Of dependency over the closing of his connection with the United Verde Copper company. He some weeks ago made a demand for an increase of salary from go 900 to sl2. 900 the demand being accompanied by Mir. Aliens resignation to take ef- if i- nppedp6 n This raised differences between him and the company with the result that his resignation was accepted. His successor. w. l.. Clark, in com pany with Vice President Macdonald, {, arrived in Jerome last night. He had undoubtedly broOded over his troubles until he became insane, as there was no other known reason why he should take his life.
 A head official informed your cor respondent that Mir. Aliens accounts with the company was strictly straight. ! He left letters to his laughter and her ! husband, which are of a private na- 1 ture.
 He also left letter for the company pany's auditor with whom he was on the most friendly terms with the re- quest written on the envelope that it l De not opened until today. The re- quest was granted and when opened today it's contents caused the hurried visit Of the auditor and Mr. Campbell to the ranch. Mr. Aliens family rela- tions have always been of the most loving kind and his personal affairs are in the best possible cond ton. He leaves s43.0O0 life insurance. Ali mourn his death and syDpathize deeply with his wife and family. The funeral will take place on Sunday nnder charge Of the Masons Of which society he WAS a member.
 Mr. Allen was fifty years Of age. He was a native Of Louisiana. He had been connected with the interests of w A. Clark for many years. He came here from Butte Mont, in the early nineties.

 FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CLIFTON

Of iron ore exist in numerous places. and katanga, in the southeast portion Of the Congo Free State, which for years has been reported to be copper country, is now known to Joe rich in
 that metal. English capital is explor
 ing the deposits Of Katanga and
 developing some of theui. Immediately
 south of that section is the British
 colony of Rhodesia, in which are
 known gold and copper mines. IL is
 even said to be the original ''land Of
 Ophir" mentioned in the Bible, and
 the finding of ancient workings Of
 mines and metallurgical establish
 ments lends color to the idea. About
 the old native village of Tete, on the Fam bezi, there are gold deposits and goid-Ic,s2;s'iiir,r veins and I.ivipGs:snS wrote over thirty years ago that the hills about Tete everywhere showed evidence of extensive alluyial washingS for gold, which could still be obtained in the gravels. Along the west coast gold mines are being developed under extreme difficulties, owing to severe conditions, but the history of mining in the past has shown that white men will penetrate any country and face any hardship for gold. What Africa requires to promote it's develop ment is railways, and the signs indi- cate that within the next decade Africa will have an important system )f railroads, and its natural resources 1 will be brought to light.-Mining & Press.

 There i- DO e9ileuce of ore deposits
 having been formed iu this region be-
 fore the intrusion or porphyry. This event appears to be in most intimate connection with the origin Of all the copper deposits in the region.
 Wherever the porphyry came into contact with the granite or the quartz ite, little alteration is observed; but wherever we find the porphyry ad- JOrufng tne linestOnes or the shale5 Of the Paleozioc series, very extensive contact mctam0rPhi-m k noted, re- suiting In the formation of large masses of garnet anu epidotc This alteration i7 particularly observable at Morenci. The whole Puleozojc series is affected but more particularly the pure limestone oi the lower carboni- ferrous, which, for d distance of sev- eral hundred feet from the contact, has been converted into an almost solid mass Of garnet. The shales have suffered less from this metamorphism, but near the porphyry are apt to con- tain cpidote and other minerals.
 This metamorphism appears not only at the contact of the main mass Of porphyry forming the southern slope or Copper mountain, but also in the hills between Moreuci and the Longfellow mine, in which dikes have 1 produced contact-metamOrphic min- erals along their sides. Wherever alteration has not masked the phe- | nomena, magnetic, pyrite, chalcopy- . rite and zinc 5lendc accompany in !. various proportions the coutact-meta- 1. minerals and are intergrown !. with them in such way that the con !. -act-metamorphic origin Of these ores !. appears beyond doubt.

cite and quartz, together with pyrite preparations Of the country rock are rarely confined by distinct walls, but
 gradually fade into tue surrounding period That these deposits are
 genetically connected with Assure
 not be doubted. In lower levels the
 ore is apt 10 change to pyrite and
 chalcOpyrite. Both the Arizona Cop
 per company and the Detroit Copper
 company are now working the low
 grade bodies of chalcocite ore accom-
 panylng the veins. The reserves
 thus far opened assure thigh produc-
 tion for many years to Cothe. Paral-
 l.. gsi"s, some@-:<t narrower, but
 similar in character. are .h0Se oLaued
 by the Arizona Central mine, also at
 MOrenci. These veins are partly in
 porphyry, partly in contact metamor-
 phOsed limestone. While malachite
 and azurite sometimes occur, they are by no means as prominent as in the limestone deposits and frequently the leached surface zone is immediate by the chalcocite ore. The Coronado mine represents a different typo of deposits It is formed on fault Assure between granite and | quartzite, indicating a throw of at | least 1000 feet. The Assure is fol- l lowed in places by a diabase dike, | showing some effect of crushing and l movement on the vein. The crop pings contain copper carbonates and | but these minerals change at slight depths to chalcocite, and still farther down it is believed that the ore bodies consist chiefly of pyrite and 
 Somewhat different again are the Assure veins on Markeen and Copper King mountains. The granite of this of hills is cut by a great num- Der of porphvry dikes which gener- ally have q nOrthcasterly direction. Along many Of .hese dikes movement and Assuring has taken place, and varying amounts of copper ores have been encountered. The veins contain comparatively little gangue tine cop per minerals being chiefly distributed through the altered porphyry or
 through the granite adjoining the like. At the surface a small amount of carbonates may be found, out they ,hange at slight @0,,nn,,As, sacs,@times m ore composed of chalcocite and ,ypite and chalcopyrite. The most prominent deposit on this system or veins is the Copper King mine, which . situated only few hundred feet be- ow the summit of the mountain Of the same name The main mass Of oorphyry between Morenci and Met .alf shows evidence of very strong throughout. 4 great number Of Assure veins have been en- in it, although most of them are neither persistent nor strong. Close 10 the surface the ores are apt to spread through considerable mass of rock. and in some cases important bodies of chalcocite. due to secondary deposition on pyrite from solutions copper, have resulted. The granite adjoining this porphyry is also thoroughly altered and with pyrite and chal- copyrite. This may be seen in the narrow canyons of Chase creex for mile above Longfellow incline While a number of more or less well defined veins have been opened here the re- suits have not been encouraging.

the resulting minerals being silica and limonite. The celebrated Long fellow mine is worked on one of these deposits occurring as, roughly speak ing, funnel shaped mas in the lower Silurian limestone, between two large p1rphyry dikes. Going farther west along the main pOrphyry contact the Montezuma is encountered. and far ther on the Detroit aud the Mangan- csc Blue mines. Both of the latter mines are worked on several tabular ore bodies, three or more In the lower carbOniferous All Of these deposits are now largely cXhaused. They con- tainad large quantity Of very rich carbonate and oxide ore. The extent of these ore bodies was. however, much smaller than the large masses of chalcocite ore which now forms the main support Of the camp.
 At Metcalf the Shannon mine con- tains several ore bodies of similar origin. \ fragment Of the Paleozoic series outcrops on Shannon hill and is cut by an extensive system of porphyry dikes, which in the lower part of the mountain joins the main part of large intrusive body of porphyry. In several horizons the limestOnes are greatly altered, the final product gen. erally being copper carbonates and with some quartz. In some places the ore bodies are less affected by oxidation, and their original char lcter oi garnet, epidote, magnetic md sulphides may be plainly seen. Oxidation by surface waters, d, at shannon mine, also diLused much cop per as chalcocite in some of the DOT jhyry dikes, and the Metcalf mine on | lower spur of the same hill consists chiefly of d body of extremely decom- posed porphyry containing chalcocite md carbonates. Very probably this copper has migrated into the decom- posing porphyry from bodies Of con act metamorphic rock at higher ele- ,atIou, parts of which are probably now eroded.

Wants Question Settled.

Building Inspector Ashford has requested
the Commissioners to secure from the cor
poration counsel written opinion as to the
authority of the building inspector to order
repairs made to buildings considered dam
gerous According to Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Pugh, the extent of the build
ing inspectors authority in such cases is to
order the premises vacated, and Mr.. Ash
ford is anxious to ascertain the exact in
depreciation of the law in the matter
The question arose upon the refusal of
Mr.. Pugh to prosecute w. P. Lockwood
arrested on charges preferred by Assistant
Building Inspector Parry for not complying
with orders from the building inspectors
office to build chimneys on houses 8, 8 and
10 Pierce's court, for which he is agent.
Mr.. Pugh informed Mr.. Parry the building
inspector could not compel repairs to build
ings, and the building inspector now re-
quests a statement of the reasons for re-
fusing to prosecute in such a case.

PLANNING FOR FUTURE.
Casualty Hospital to Have New Home
at Early Date.

A meeting of the board Of directors of the
Eastern Dispensary and Casualty Hospital
was held Tuesday night in the new hos
pital building, the former home OF Mr. b.
F. Leighton on Massachusetts, avenue be-
tween 7th and 9Th streets northeast. All
the members OF the board and several of
the lady managers were In attendance. The
building was inspected and Mr.. Thomas
W. Smith. president OF the board, gave the
Information that two residents of Capitol
Hill will pay for the addition that lie to be
made to the building.
A new story Is to be added to the main
building and also to the separate building
that Is to be used as the dlspensary. The
separation Of the dispensary and emer-
gency work. 1t is thought will enable the
managers to keep the latter building In bet
ter sanitary condition.
building committee was appointed as
follows: Mr.. Thomas W. Smith, Mr.. John
c. Yost, Mr.. Theodore J. Mayer, DIR. Beatty
and Mr.. J. e. Harrell. Mr.. Smith and DR..
Wellington were appointed a committee to
procure a suitable ambulance.
It Is thought that the improvements to
the building will be completed in time to
have an opening about the first of next
year.

EXCURSIONS.

A favored resort of society, Old Point
Comfort. Is particularly lively spot at this
season. Conveniently reached from the
capital via the steamers Of the Norfolk and
Washington Steamboat Company, Old
Point always shelters many residents and
visitors Of Washington. These steamers
sail at $3.50 pm. every day in the year from
the wharf, foot of 7th street. They con-
meet daily at Norfolk with steamers for
New York and Boston, and also make rail-
road connections for the southern resorts.
Expense. once a great barrier to a visit
to California, is now largely removed, and
Southern Pacific Company's excursions TO
San Francisco provide the comfort reQui-
site to the thorough enjoyment Of such q
without change, with an especially low
charge for berths. A. J. Poston, the gen.
eral agent, may be seen at 511 Pennsylvania
avenue. where details will be given to all
Interested.
A direct route to Mount Vernon, the home
and tomb Of Washington. is by the large
steel steamer Charles Manchester. The
running time of only one hour in either
direction and the perfect accommodations
make the trip an ideal one. The steamer
leaves 7th street wharf daily except Sun
day at 10 a. and Las pm: returning, due
to arrive at Washington at 40 and 6:15
pm. The sail on the historic Potomac gives
the tourist an opportunity to see Alexan-
dria, Fort Foote and the most improved
coast defenses-Fort Washington and Fort
Hunt.

Highway bridge across the Potomac has
teen delayed by two serious blow ms at
the bottom of the cofferdam at pier IL, al
legged to be due to premature pumping out
OF the dam. Capt. wooten reports that
work has continued on the substructure.
