The Weeks Mining News as Reported
 by the Miner

Peter White came in from the Tyron mine this week and reported that he had crossed about thirteen feet of vein in the tunnel without finding indica- tions of the other wall. The vein has softened up and coarse gold is now horned from the rock.
 The price offered for tungsten of 70 per cent, delivered at Kingman is S6 per unit of long ton. The same pur- chasers offer Sl0 per unit for molybden. ite ore per long ton for 50 per cent ore or better. A number of reputable min ing papers have made the assertion that these minerals bring but little in the market. The figures given above are from actual sales of these minerals.
 E. M. Carson departed a few days ago to Los Angeles and San Francisco, at which places he will confer. with hi' people regarding shelter matters anl the taking -v,c Of certain mining prop critics now leld under bonds. The i'm pression now is that ground for the shelter will be broken in thirty days. It will be located about one-half mile east of town, on the side of the rocky bluff at the stone quarry The site is an ideal one.
 w. B. Ridenour one of the pioneer of Blackberry, was in Kingman this week. H inform d us that he had re- located the famous old Hack berry mil and intended to reopen it to the north of the deep shaft. The mine was open ed to depth of nearly six hundred feet when owned by the Indian Queen company, under the management of John Howell To this depth the mine was an immense producer of silver ore and from the old works thousands of dollars were taken in recent years by leasers. The old company finally fail ed to do the assessment work and Mir. Ridenour stepped in and took posses sion.
 J. w. Jackson last week brought $500 pounds of wolfram ore to King man from the Williams mines, in the Aquarius mountains. The ore is ex- tremely rich, carrying 70 per cent tu lgstic acid. The ore is being ship ped to Clifton Station, Pennsylvania.

PROCLAMATION OF OFFER OF
 REWARD
By the Governor of Arizona

l Whereas, have been officially in- formed that Samuel s. Plunkett and Edward E. Kennedy, citizens of Gila county, this Territory, were murdered on the 18th day of July, 1905, by some person or persons ul.hnown; and
 Whereas, The Sheriff of said Gila county has requested me to offer on be- half of the Territory reward for the arrest of the murdl Ter or murderers of the said Samuel s. Plunkett and Ed ward E. Kennedy; and in support of his request has stated that the whereabouts of the said murderer or murderers is unknown to him; and that there IS reason to fear that the perpe- trators of the said murders will escape arrest unless reward is offered by the Territory for their apprehension; and Whereas, It appears that the said Sheriff of Gila county, and his deputies have used due diligence in their efforts to apprehend the said murderers, and so far have failed in such efforts: and Whereas, It appears that extraordi- nary reasons exist for resorting to this method of aiding in the capture of the fugitives.
 Now, therefore, l, Joseph H. Kibbey, Governor of Arizona, by virtue of the power and authority in me vested by law, do hereby offer reward of Fiv, Hundred Dollars for the arrest and con viction of the murderer, or of any of the murderers, if there are more than one, of the aforesaid Samuel s. Plun kett and Edward E. Kennedy, or for the murderer or murderers of either of them.
 In Witness Whereof, 1 have hereunto
 set my hand and caused the
 Great Seal of the Territory to [sEAL] be hereto affixed. Done at
 Phoenix, the Capital, this
 twenty-ninth day of July, 1905. |

THE ELECTRIC MOTOR
 REPLACES LOCOMOTIVE

The New York, New Haven and Hartford Raj !road is making prepara- tions for changing the motive power on some or all of its lines from steam to electricity. An order for twenty-five electric locomotives has been placed with the Westinghouse Electric and Machine Company by the railroad com pany These locomotives will be driv- en by an alternating current, single phase, which is supposed to be the most economical application of electri- cal power yet made. Each locomotive is to weigh seventy-eight tons and is to be equipped with four motors, each of 400 horsepower, making total of 1900 horsepower for each locomotive. This is about 600 horsepower greater than that of any steam locomotive in present use.
 The motors will be able to maintain a speed of twenty-six miles an hour in local service, reaching maximum speed of forty-five miles an hour be- tween stations and hauling 200 tons. In express service a speed of sixty to seventy miles an hour can be main- tained with train weighing 250 tons. For heavier loads two or more locomo- tives can be coupled together and oper- ated from the front cab by one engi- neer

 The Fl Paso parties wh) have a work ing bond on Dick Marshall's s gold claims near the Rock house, are said to be taking out some remarkably rich ore, some of which is full of free gold The parties are well pleased with the prop erty so far as the work has progressed.
 A representative of the Era recently visited the Standard mine, and found the property in much better shape than it has been in two years. In fact it is in better condition now than it has ever been. In the deepest workings, which Superintendent Rosecrans has christen- ed "the mustard' level, there is vein 12 feet in width which averages more than F per cent. But that is not all. for there is vein of ore on the same level from two to three feet in width averaging more than 45 per cent. From Saford Guardian.

DEMAND Is INCREASING
British Colonies Will Be Encouraged
to Plant a Larger Acreage in
Cotton.

Washington. July 1S.-An apparently
well organized movement started by the
cotton manufacturers of Great Britain
to encourage the growth of cotton in
the British possessions and countries
other than the United States. is report
ed to the department OF commerce and
labor by Consul HalStead at Birming-
ham. Eng This movement is being di-
rected by TIE British Cotton Growing
association, and was started to hberate
the British cotton trade from the dan
ger of American spectators. The de-
mand for cotton Stead Oily increases but
so far, the consul says, there has been
no corresponding development of the
sources OF supply The huge crop pro-
dUced in the United States has relieved
the situation. but American planters,
the report points out, desire to maintain
prices by reducing the production The
international congress in session at
Manchester a. few weeks ago assumed
that in ten years IS. 0OO. 900 acres under
cotton will be necessary to supply the
worlds demand. and the United states
viii be only able to provide So 0O0,000
acres. and that limit viii be reached
within seven years. India, Africa the
West Indies, BOrneO, Lagos and Cyp-
rus have such natural conditions that
cOttOn may be raised there with good
results To promote the interest in the
movement the British Cotton Growing
association has opened IN London an
exhibition where the products Of the
English colonies are shown.

Witte and Baron Rosen had not in
spired Japan with confidence in a IA
vorabie outcome OF the negotiations.
We do not know" the minister ad-

past eighteen months Japan puts
faith only in accomplished facts. The
terms viii be committed only at the
conference. Then we will discover what
powers the Russian plenipotentiaries
possess"
The Associated Press representatives
suggested that the general opinion pre-

be moderate.
II cannot see where the people get
such an idea" replied the minister;
the public evidently mistake the Jap
anese for angels
Minister Hayashi intimated that Jap

PLUNGED DOWNWARD TO HIS DEATH
Daniel MaIoney Falls 5000 Feet With An Aeropane in
the Presence of Several thousand Horror
Stricken People.

DAN JOSE, Cal, July 1s.-With wo-
y men fainting and men sobbing,
Daniel MalOney, who has made nu-
merous public ascensiOns with Profess
SCR MontgOmery's aerOplane, fell 5000
feet to his death at Santa Clara this
morning.
Professor Montgomery had announced
an ascension from the grounds OF Santa
Clara college in honor of the League Of
the Cross Cadets, who are holding their
annual encampment in that town The
announcement attracted probably two
thousand people, who watched with in
terest the huge machine as it shot up
from the college garden attached to
huge balloon. At a height of 1000
feet MalOney cut loose and began man
euVering the aeroplane. He circIed
gracefully about for some minutes. hav-
ing the machine apparently under per
feet control. Then he essayed a deep
dip.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1905-07-19

Suddenly the machine swerved. hest
tated and turned completely over. 1t
righted itself, sank down a consider
able distance and turned over again.
Maloney was clinging desperately TO
his seat and evidently endeavoring to
regain his control, but all his efforts
were in vain. Again the aerOplane
turned in the air, and this time the
wings came together and the man and
machine plunged straight doFyV1ward.
while the Mortified spectators gazed
helpless upward.
Amid shrieks and groans many peo-
pie rushed TO the scene, while others
turned away weeping. A number of
cadets first reached the unconscious
man and, picking him up. they con-
veyed him to the college hospital. His
head was fractured and blood was flow
ing from his ears and mouth. He eX-
pired within a short time. The aero
plane, which was constructed of the
toughest oak pTOcurable, was ground
into small fragments.
