IN the death ot Gordon Mclean, which occurred at I os Angeles last week, the mining fraternity is robbed of one of Its brightest lights and most useful members. His name was synonem of success in mining, which was due as much to his un- bounded energy as to his knowledge of men and methods. For nearly twenty years he was superintendent of the mines for the D. c. company, the wonderful success of which was largely due to his ability as mining man. As a man he stood high among men-tall of stature and big of heart. He was of the type of men who ''do things,'' and with perseverance and will power that surmounted all diff culties. In his vocabulary there was no such word as ''fail" He was one of natures noblemen, courageous, kind, gentle and true. His sudden death has cast a gloom over the entire district where he was wei known and loved by all.

SWIFT DEATH...DRANK

Gordon Mclean Mistakes FOrmaIdehyde for Mineral Water and Dies at Home Ddspite Prompt Work

From the Los Angeles Examiner.

From the Los Angeles Examiner.
 Drinking from bottle containing formaldehyde, in mistake for mineral night, of Gordon Mclean, one of the most prominent mining men of Cali fornia and Arizona, at his residence, 1912 Beacon street.
 Within three minutes, Dr. D.. K. Dickenson, living just across the street, was working heroically to save MT. Mclean but the powerful poison almost instantly paralyzed his system and he died within fifteen minutes after drinking the fluid.
 MT. Mclean, his wife and little daughter, had returned Saturday from trip to Arizona, where he has extensive mining interests. Their home had been closed during their absence from the city, and they had taken apartments at the Hollenbeck while the house was being cleaned.
 Tuesday night the family were in the library, the house having been made ready for their reception. MT. Mclean remarked that he desired glass of water, and went into the bathroom, where several bottles of mineral water were always kept. In some unknown way the bottle of formaldehyde, put up in a bottle pre- cisely like those containing the min eral water, had been placed on the same shelf. The room was dark, and MT. Mclean made the terrible mis- take of drinking from the bottle of formaldehyde.
 Instantly realizing the nature of the deadly fluid, he rushed back into the library, calling to his wife:
 "Bessie, come puck. 1 have taken formaldehyde in mistake for the mineral water. Get a doctor, quiCk.'
 Mrs. Mclean ran across the street to Dr. Dickinson's residence. He was at MT. McLean's side almost in- stantly. The stomach pump was used and powerful heart stimulants R. Brainerd and J. c. Cobb were summoned by telephone, but Mr. Mclean sank rapidly and died before the other physicians arrived.
 Dr. Dickinson stated that the na- ture of formaldehyde in such that the entire system must have been almost instantly paralyzed from the shock of the powerful poison.
 Mrs. Mclean says the poison had been purchased at drug store, the druggist having put it in a mineral water bottle. When the groceries were ordered, several bottle of min eral water were also sent to the house, and the formaldehyde, in some manner, became mixed with the other bottles. MT. Mclean was unaware that the bottle of poison was about the house, the ColorlesS nature of the formaldehyde leading him to believe it was water.

Now that new captain of rangers is soon to be selected, it might also be well for Governor Kibbey to con sider the advisability of cutting down the force at least one half. The ranger service is costing the terri tory a large sum of money, about S60,OOO per year, which could be ex- pended to better purpose. One-half of the present force would certainly be ample for all purposes, and would prove a relief to the overburdened tax payers. The ERA has confidence in the ability of the governor to select as captain a man who will thoroughly overhaul the personnel of his company and retain only such as have proven themselves best qualified for the service. In view of the fric- tion now existing between many of the rangers and the citizens, the task of selecting a captain carries with it much responsibility. How ever, the governor is equal to the emergency, and will no doubt exer- else his best judgment in the mat ter.> With the right man at the head of~the rangers there is no reason why N6he confidence of the public might notagain be secured and the service maintanRed for few years.

fllIcCu SCOIcS Is Ine llnlC CnlS S6d- son and the Clifton boys won't take any more, even if it is possible. This statement is verified by the last three games.
 Clifton started the season by losing two straights to Morenci. She has turned the tide and now ball teams must look out.
 The game with Bisbee was called of on account of the excursion fall ing through. Clifton invited the Bisbee ball team over any way, but they refused. We wonder why?
 The Fl Paso papers last week did the manager of the Clifton team an injustice by stating that the Fl Paso manager had been notified by letter by the Clifton manager that Clifton had cut out playing ball with the Morenci team. This is a mistake and manager Simms has been on the warpath ever since he saw the article. The fact of the matter is that the Clifton and Morenci clubs are on bet ter terms this season than they have been any previous one. Up to the present date Clifton and Morenci have played but two games.
 The conduct of the players was es pecially good and not a word of wrang- ling took place. The fact of the matter is that the Clifton club was surprised to hear that Morenci had such a bunch of kickers, according to Fl Paso papers.
 Clifton wants Morenci to understand that there is not a word of truth in this statement as such a letter was never written to the Fl Paso club.
 The following poem was mailed to the ERA by our mysterious poet, and touches up the Yellow Kids consider ably:
 saw some Clifton Base Ball Bloods
 Today on the base ball sands. Abuse some Demlng Yellow Kids (Some call them Yellow Deming Kids)
 But Deming's not yellow-its the fans. To see the show you have to go
 To hole in the Base Ball fence, Where banker man hands out a pass And lovely smile; but the smile, alas Will cost you fifty cents Not wishing to be late we haste through the gate
 To see the base ball play But we think what treat It would be 10 meet, And how fondly we would greet a smile so sweet
 On a lovely girl-some day. But we degrees; from the active-ness
 Of the Yellows and Bloods in red, We expect to see no 'jamboree But base ball game of high degree
 And a decent score; instead The game was rotten from start to end;
 The Kids were all out of line; The Big Chief spoke, and Kansas Cook Delivered the sphere its wrote in the book,
 And the first stood nothing to nine And thus they meandered on to the ninth,
 With the Bloods ahead a mile, And the Yellows sadly down on their luck Their score resembling the good half buck
 We had paid the man with the smile In the ninth Kid made a frenzied run,
 with Nordhaus at the baD And arrived at third just a little slow, The crowd yelled "out," but Bayne said ''Nol'
 So we let it go at that. So they scored a run with two men down
 And the close call over at third; lThough that didn't count, they told me there But it seems to me It isn't fair
 To only half pluck bird). And don't see why the Floods should try
 To be satisfied with that; Van Gorders colts should receive some jolts Iu the Solar Plexus; catch as catch can holts
 With Big Chief behind the bat.

ChaS. A. Davidson, who was in the employ of Cromb & Shannon for sev- eral years, left Clifton some months kgo for California for his health.
 His wife writes friends in this city that his health has failed rapidly since leaving here, and it is now feared that the inevitable cannot long be postponed. It was not gen. orally known here that he was in such a precarious condition, and it was generally thought by his friends that change of climate and a rest would restore him to good health, but in this, it seems they were Mrs. Davidson and her in terestin 9 daughters have the sym pathy of many friends in Clifton, who st ill hope for the best,

So now game has been matched with Morenci for next Sun day, June IS.

 CLIFTON 15, HUACHUCA o.
 What was expected to be two base ball games last Sunday proved to be nothing more than practice for the strong Clifton team. From the very beginning it could be seen that the soldier boys were outclassed in every position on the diamond and from the way the local team played ball Sunday the soldier team could not score in a dozen games. The morning game consisted of seven in- nings and the afternoon game nine, with the score exactly the same-15 to 0-in each game. Only two sol dier boys reached third base in the morning with Farrow in the box and in the afternoon Pitcher Cook al- lowed but two men to second. Two hits in each game was all the soldiers could get to their credit, although they tried their best to break the long string of sixteen goose-eggs. However, the soldier boys had a good battery and with support the scores would have been good ones, as very few earned runs were made Meyers, the big chief catcher, lifted one over the fence with three men on bases in the morning game, and Far row took walk by driving another over with no one on bases. In the afternoon game Price landed on one for four sacks and brough the grand stand to an uproar. Walden, the nervy soldier catcher, was in the game all the time and worked hard in both games, with Battle as his as- sistant, who made an effort to pitch both games. Walden made the star play of the day when he butted into the wire netting and landed a high foul.
 Outside of .. very few particular plays the game was free of sensations with the exception that the field work of the Clifton team was snappv and always accurately executed. The games were a cinch for Clifton and the only thing that held the grand stand was the excellent play ing of the home team and the desire to see the shut-out.
 The soldier boys took their defeat like gentlemen and never registered a single kick. After the games they complimented Umpire Bayne on his fair decisions and expressed themselves as highly pleased with the treatment received at the hands of the Clifton people. While they could not play ball they distinguished themselves as gentlemen and sue ceeded in catching many pleasant smiles from fair faces in the grand stand. One of the boys was es- pecially fortunate in this respect and that was Dinkelspeil O'Cronin, who covered left field without an error, perhaps for the reason that he had no chances.
 The scores of the two games fol- low:

NOTES.

With Cook and Farrow as pitchers and Chief Meyers as catcher very few of the teams in the southwest will walk away with Clifton's scalp. Douglas, Bisbee, Cananea, Tucson, Fl Paso, or Morenci, are included. Come out from the brush if you want shock. Clifton will play on any ground.
 Doran on first, Ellis on second, Hunter on short, Sardines on third and Dudley, Price and Danenhauer in the field Clifton has a team that can hold it's own with all corners. It's shame to see them take the games.

Tearing Down Canal Bridge

Work was begun on tearing down |

tory to the building of the culvert IN
the canal at that point, contract for
which was awarded to Thomas j.
Evans on Monday night. Beginning
with yesterday and continuing during
the first stage Of the work Ferry street
at the canal will be closed to traffic.
The bridge probably will not be
wholly removed until tonight. The
wood work where employed in Jolsts
and flooring is found to be in very bad
condition. The bridge has been in use
ever since 1871. 1t was manufactured
by the Phoenix Bridge Company at
Phoenixville, although the Company
furnishing the bridge according to an
inscription on the side railing was the
Continental Bridge Company. In It's

to it's credit it may be stated that IL
has faithfully served its purpose dur
ing a generation.
The spot will scarcely he recognized
after the change has been completed.
The grade existing at present 60 &C
commodate the bridge will be wholly
removed aDd the street, which Will o'
, much widened, will be made nearl!

The culvert itself will be quite

DOCTORS ORGANIZE
FOR PROTECTION

The physicians Of DanVille and VIC
unity will hold a meeting tonight,
which will be somewhat out OF the
ordinary. The object will be to form
a Physicians Protective Association.
The movement, it appears, has been
OH foot for some months past. Organ
ization has been decided upon by the
doctors as a means of frustrating the
designs Of unprincipled people, who,
although able to pay their doctor bills,
habitually defrsud the physicians.
One of the doctors back of the move
ment yesterday stated that the object
is not to shut out the deserving poor
Such will always be taken care OF by
the medical fraternity, although there
NAV not be the remotest possibility OF
ever receiving dollar in return. Inc
blacklist will be only for those VINO
mlsapply their means-who III turn
call in all the doctors of town retain
ing no one any longer than required &c
run up a bill, which they make no at
tempt to pay.
Thoughtful doctors have concluded
that the latter class have been indulg
ed long enough and the sooner they
J are cut off from all attendance the bet
ter. This is regarded as the onl!
method that will ever induce sucl
; persons to deal honorably and to man
! age their affairs so as TO be able to pa
[ the doctor for his services.
