CHILD FALLS FROM SECOND FLOOR
 UNHURT Not a Bone Was Broken Nor Even A
 Bruise
Miraculous Escape Of A Four Year Old
 Girl

To fall from the second story of a house and escape alive is in itself a remarkable occurrence, but to drop that distance and not sustain even a broken bone, is little short of miracu- lous.
 Such was the experience yesterday of the little four year old daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. O. Eckel, of South Mount Vernon street. The little one was leaning out of the window, from the second floor, and losing her balance, dropped into space. When she was picked up it was thought that she was nearly dead, for the little one was unconscious.
 Dr. Criley, who resides in the block, was summoned, and he was astonished upon examining the victim of the ae- cident that not bone was broken nor was there even a bruise on the body
 The little one was stunned by the fall, and that was all. The accident took place about noon, but it was a couple of hours before she regained consciousness. Then she made no com plaint of feeling pain, and took her supper last evening with the remainder of the family, evincing her usual ap- petite.
 The Eckels are newcomers to Pres colt, and there are nine children in the family, and certainly there must be a lucky star over such large families, for had the little one been the only one, fate certainly would rot have been so kind. The distance that the girl fell was over twenty feet, and she drop- ped into a store box. Had she struck the side of the box there would have been a sadder story to relate, but evidently it was ordained that she should escape all harm. That the par ents are rejoicing over their little daughters escape may be easily under stood.

DISASTROUS WRECK ON GRAND CANYON
 RAILROAD
One Man Killed and wenty- I wo Injured--Accident Caused
 By Broken Rail

Engineer A. H. Lingo and Fireman F. B. Douglas were on the second. The caboose and one engine safely crossed a broken rail, which threw the second engine erosswise of the track, eight of the cinder cars piling up in a small space around it, along with the big Ledgerwood unloading blow.
 On the first car were about thirty Japanese, most of whom were injured in the mix up. One man was killed and there are said to be three or four still missing.
 In all about twenty-two wounded men were brought to Williams. A shoohy is being built around the wreck, and traffic will be resumed tomorrow. None of the train crew were injured, which was miraculous. One of the crew walked to Prado, and wired the news of the wreck, and assistance was quickly sent out from this point.

Hyde of the Equitable Willing To Appear Before Legislative
 Committee

day gave out for publication a letter addressed by him today to Counsel Hughes, of the insurance investigating committee, which says in part:
 Referring to your request that James H. Hyde voluntarily appear as a witness before the joint committee appointed by the defunct legislature of 1905 to investigate the affairs of life insurance companies, advised Hyde that your committee is without power or jurisdiction to make the investigation in which you are engaged.
 "After reeiting the reasons for this, and complaining of the alleged unjust attacks upon Hyde, and asserting his innocence of wrong-doing, the letter concludes:
 "He (Hyde) is prepared to waive all legal objections to appearing, and win tell your committee fully and frankly everything he knows excepting as to the matters embraced in the pending litiga- tion, upon the condition that your com mittee will, in common fairness, accord him the right of being represented, ad- vised and re-examined by eounsel.''

Ore Is Heavy Sulphide And Pronounced
 Valuable
Completion Of Tunnel Is Now Under
 Way

Adviees received in Prescott yester. day from the Blue Bird mine. in the Bradshaws are of the most encouraging nature. For some months past the own. CTS of this group have been doing general development work, and to that end tunnel is being driven from a point near the north end line of the Blue Bird vein.
 The object of this vein has been to reach a point that will intersect the original shaft at depth of 265 feet, and distance of about 400 more will be necessary before this work is &C., complished. The tunnel as it has pro- gressed to date has reached distance of over 200 feet, and the late strike occurred at the extreme end of the same, and in crosscut that had been run in an easterly direction.
 Samples from the recent discovery have created general interest, and there seems no doubt but that the vein run into is an independent Assure, and heretofore unknown. In character the ore struck is a heavy sulphide, and while no assays as yet have been made as to the value, those eonversant with the character of the Bradshaw ore pro- nounce it as very valuable in gold.
 It is the intention of the owners of this property to continue the work out lined, and before any general explora- tion of the group is given, the compile tion of tire tunnel now under headway will be accomplished. When that is done the other veins on the group that lay parallel and which outerop on the surface will be tapped.
 The work in this tunnel as it has progressed to date on that vein is also of a very encouraging nature. At other points on the Blue Bird there are many shafts to be seenI' that have at intervals in past years been sunk to de- termine the mineral extent o the fs- sure that cuts through that section.
 All work heretofore given for this purpose has demonstrated that the group is an inviting proposition, and from its near neighbors, the Lincoln on the south and the De Soto on the north the same dyke is traeeable to and through the Pelican claims of the Blue Bird group.
 Recent development on the Lincoln has demonstrated that that property is no longer speculation as to its extent of ore bodies or of values contained, but it has come into much prominence from this late work.
 The Blue Bird group consists of five full claims lying in the guleh of that name, and is but one and one half miles from Switchback s on the Pres colt and Bradshaw railroad. The To- cations are owned by Messrs. Mulvenon, Roach and Richards of this city.

ALBANY, N. r., Oct. 3-Attorney- General Meyer tonight received letter from William Hepburn Russell, asking permission on behalf of the policy holders to sue the officers of the New York Life for restitution of ,the money contributed to campaign funds.
 Russell says in part: ''we are con vineed that the only way in which the very grave public questions involved in this matter can ever be satisfactorily disposed of is through an action in the right of the poliey-holders brought in behalf of the New York Life Co.,, its New York company's delinquent ofn- eers and directors to account for the misuse of the corporate funds at their hands. We do not always believe that an action by the attorney-general can reach this specific evil, and we therefore ask you to consent to the in- stitution by us, in behalf of our clients and such other policy-holders as may join with them, of such actions.

The individual in question was just

honest pride and deep interest in the
work that has been done by the State
This is as it should be.
Now that We have started in to open
up State road work again, may I ask
that you make personal visit to all
roads for which the State has con-
tributed some of the expense and took
them over, especially with view to the
the cleaning out of bitches and open
ing up the culverts. This winter has
been long and tedious and the frost has
gone very deep into the ground, and
one of the developments that comes
from a winter such as we have passed
through is the lifting up of culverts.
Especially is this noticeable in culverts
of stone construction. Walls are very
liable to yield to the influence of such
a severe winter as we have had. IT
would be well to examine all walls and
covering stones and see If they are in y
proper state of repair, so as to insure
safety to the travelling public.
hardly think it is quite time, except
in gravel construction, to apply very
much material to the roads as yet
better to wait for two or three weeks,
depending. of course, up on the location
and the condition of the weather and
the character of the material compos,
ing the road.
