REBEL BATTLE SHIP
 SURRENDERS TO R0UMANIA
Crew ParoIed and Sent Across the
 Frontier.
Pirates Dictate their Terms and Put
 Russian Government to Shame.

One of the most ridiculous events of the wild cruise of the rebel war ship was brought to a close on the 8th inst. The rebel ship turned up at Kustenji, on the coast of Rouma= nia, POO miles from Odessa, while the Black sea fleet, or such part of it as had not mutinied, was at Novo- rosik, four hundred and fifty miles from Odessa in the opposite direc- tion. The Black sea fleet was sup posed to be chasing the Kniaz Petem- kline under orders to sink or capture her, but she sailed around the Black sea in radius of less than two hun dred miles since June 27th. Admiral Kruger soon took his ships back to Sebastopol when he found he could not control his men, and then few warships and volunteer scounts set out on a chase after the rebel ship. They must have been in sight of each other many times, but did not dare to bring on an engagement.
 A dispatch from Kustenji says the crew of the rebel ship and her con sort torpedo boat, have surrendered to the Roumanian authorities.
 They have been dispatched in small parties to different points in Rou- mania. They will be conveyed to any frontier they may elect and will be liberated, the local authorities having given promise to this effect. The Roumanian flag has been hoisted over the Russian war vessels, as well as Russia's, to prevent any attack on them in Roumanian waters by vessels of the Russian squadron supposed to be in pursuit.
 The mutineers offered to present the battleship to the Roumanian gov ernment, as they were anxious that she should not be turned over to Russia

DESERTER KILLED.
A SentineI's Act of Duty Near Fort
 Apache Last Week,

Fred J. Shorham on his return from Holbrook brought the first news of the killing at Fort Apache by Guard Private Milligan of the E. Troop 5th cavalry.
 Milligan it seems. was detailed as sentinel over two prisoners, Robbins and John Olen, who had just com menced to serve their sentences for desertion and were working at the government sawmill few miles from Fort Apache, when suddenly both prisoners attacked him, taking his carbine and ordered him to march in front of them. They proceeded to put as much distance between them and the post as possible before dark ness came on, but when it became too dark to travel in the forest they decided to rest until daylight.
 The prisoners were soon asleep, one of them having the sentinel's gun under his head. Milligan, however, only pretended to be asleep and dur ing the night quitely recovered his gun and resumed guard over his pris- oners, who shortly after awakened to find the tables turned. In the fight that followed for the possession of the carbine Asa H. Robbins was shot and died shortly afterward. Milligan then took Olen back to the post Phoenix Enterprise.

B. A. Taylor Hurt at Gleason.

B. A. Taylor, the well known mer- chant of Gleason, is in a critical con- dition as the result of an accident on the Fourth. He was to participate with others in a horse race and was getting ready to start when the horse ran away. He was thrown and when picked up was unconscious. He recovered within a short time, but later developments occurred which gave rise to the belief that danger ous internal injuries had been re- ceived.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
 Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to exceed ten per cent. of his earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar saved. That being the case he cannot be too careful about unnecessary expenses. Very often few cents properly in vested, like buying seeds for his gar den, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but a few cents, and a bottle of it in the house often saves a doctors bill of several dollars.

The copper era., 1905-07-13

The Old Dominion copper mining company's production for June was 2,5O6, 1885 pounds which is nearly 500,- OJO pounds less than for May. One reason for. the smaller production was that the sulphide ores received from Bisbee were leaner, and some minor details also contributed to the result. However, the months busi- ness was as profitable to the company as any previous month, as a larger per cent. of the ore handled came from the company's mines. The con centrator will be in operation within three weeks, which will lessen the requirements for Bisbee sulphides and increase the output of the smell ter. The facility for handling the ore automatically at the new shaft and at the smelter are being gradu- ally perfected and when completed will probably be more efficient and economical than are possessed by any other company in Arizona. The system of belt conveyors and crushers at the new shaft has been given several tests and works satis- factorily. The ore and coke bins above the shelter have been equip ped with Howe automatic hopper scales, 46 in number, which meet all expectations. They are the only scales of the kind in use at any min ing or smelling works, and the idea was furnished by the local manage ment. Silver Belt.

Beautiful Guanajuato Ruined by Floods.

Guanajuato, one of the most beau tiful cities in Mexico, was almost ruined by the great cloud burst that recently overwhelmed her. The city is situated 40 miles northwest of the City of Mexico. For 800 years or more her mines have yielded tribute to the Aztecs, the Spaniards, Mexi- cans and Americans. During the past ten years Americans have prac- tiCally secured control of the mines. and it is estimated that 3O,OOO Ameri- cans now reside there. As pictur- esque spot it is said to have no equal in the western hemisphere. Within recent years her population has grown to 100000, and it is one of the richest cities of Mexico. It was there that the uprising against Span ish rule was financed, and the leaders of the revolution. who gave up their fortunes and their lives for Mexican liberty, came nearly all from Guan- aiuatO.
