How Accident Happened

Word was received from Orval
Heron this morning by Whipple
Chester, giving particulars of the ac-
cident in which he was so seriously
hurt
Heron was working in the bridge
and building department of the Den
YER x Rio Grande road, on the Du-
rango and Pennington branch, and
had been for several months. The
construction company was working
in a place where it was necessary to
have the pile driver on a cribbing 20
feet high. In some manner the crib
bing broke down and the pile driver
was precipitated to the ground with
a crash.
orval was caught under the wreck.
under the 2.200 pound hammer a
large timber was crushing his legs,
and his hand was pinned fast beneath
some weight. He was unconscious
for two hours before they extricated
him from the wreekage
He was finally placed in a wagon
and driven . > miles over a very rough
mountain road. He suffered intense
ly while he was on the road, that IS,
while he was conscious; but he was
unconscious most of the journey
from a terrible scalp wound.
He was taken to the Mercy hospi-
ttI at DuIsAlASo anu lueIe lue doctor
decided that it was necessary to am
putate his right foot above the ankle
and the first two fingers of his left
hand but Orval was too wise for
him and would not have it that way.
He called another doctor, and now
his fingers are entirely healed and
his foot is getting along finely.
Orval was in a precariOus condi-
ton for some time, and he is lucky
TO pull through as he has. He is now
out of the hospital. walking around
on crutches. and has joined a camp
ing party to Cedar Hill, n. NJ, where
he is recuperating his lost strength.
He writes that he is getting along
very well now, and will soon be able
TO continue his work. Orval is well
known to the young people as well
as the old people all over Mesa coun-
ty, and has hosts OF friends all
through the valley who will regret
to hear of his accident and be glad
when he is entirely we'll. He has
always been popular and well liked
in this city, and his friends Will be
glad to see him back when he comes.

No Bureau Established

The Chamber of Commerce has
not created any bureau of informa-

The bureau of information which

A NEW LINE.
ROAD TO BE MAIN FEEDER OF
BIG LINE.

Southern Pacific officials inter
viewed by the Reno Gazette, say
that the Carson and Colorado is to
be one of the best equipped feed
ers OF the Hartman system on
the coast, and after the Hazen
Churchill cutoff is completed and
the K Keeler-Mojave extension built
that the road will be used to carry
the thousands of fruit trains that
are now compelled to use the
central line.
Thlrty-hve thousand cars of cit
rus fruits are carried by the
central lines of the Southern Pa
cific every year said a Southern
Pacific official in Reno a few days
ago, and 95 per cent. of this
product is from Southern Cali
fornia. This means that the
Southern Pacific is compelled to
transport these cars half the length
of California in order to place
them on the main line, whereas
with the Hazen-Mojave line it can
ship them directly from the fruit
belt and save many hours time;
time being the most important
factor in this line of traffic
In order to do this the Carson

equip it with heavier steel and
eliminate the heavy grades and
sharp curves. When finished it
will be one of the best of the

No More Lieu Lands.

Two and half million acres of
timber land will be saved to the
government by the operation of a
short act of which President Roose-
welt affixed his signature during
the last moments of the 58th Con
gress. The act prohibits the Sc
lection of timber lands which have
been included within forest re-
rerves. 1t was in 1897 that the
'lieu law" was enacted. 1t has no
restrictions, simply emitting per
sons holding lands in forest re-
serves to make selections else
where in exchange for their for
est reserve lands. In 1900 these
lieu selections were limited to un-
surveyed lands. Since the pas
sage of these acts, nearly 2,oOo,-
900 acres of forest reserve lands
have been exchanged for other
lands, and almost universally has
the exchange been made for tim
bered lands outside of forest re-
serves. A report to Congress from
the Commissioner of the General
Land Office places the amount OF
lands still held by railroads in for
est reserves at 100000 acres, and
the provision in the act in ques-
tion that hereafter lieu selections
must be made from untimbered
lands, is calculated to save just
that much timbered land which is
outside of forest reserves.

Pumping Plant to Irrigate 5000 Acres.

H. L. Chandler, A. J. Peters, R.
H. Woolf and other progressive
citizens of Phoenix, Arizona, are
working on a plant that will open
up about 5000 acres of new
country south of that city. The
plan is to install large pumping
plant west of Tempe, where the
water is closer to the surface than
at any other place. A ditch about
five miles in length will be con
structed and the water brought
down south of Phoenix. 1t is ex-
pected that sufficient water can be
pumped to irrigate about 5000
acres of land, which has never
been cultivated, but which is said
to be as fertile as any in the Ter
ritory. This land will be cut up
into farms to suit the ideas of the
gentlemen who are backing the
scheme and they hope to have one
of the most prosperous settlements
in Maricopa county within a short
time

RED METAL WILL
NO DOUBT ADVANCE.
COPPER TO SELL FOR IL CENTS
PER POUND.

Seventeen-cent copper is not an
impossibilitv now. The stock OF
the red metal is being rapidly de
pleted, while the demand is in
creasing at an alarming rate. For
eign demand has caused American
consumers to bid high to protect
themselves, and an operator finds
himself on a rising market. Nor
is it possible to supply this de
mand. All the copper properties
of the United States are working
to their limit of producing, more
and more of the red metal has
been poured into the channels OF
commerce, but the price has
nevertheless, continued to raise,
says Ores & Metals.
There is a difficulty at the
present time to supply the home
market, let alone the foreign; and
that must be taken into account,
since foreign buyers are here, de
termined to obtain their wants, or
make the American consumers
pay higher price.
This means a higher price for a
considerable length of time, since
copper mines are not made to
order, but are developed through
long and tedious work to operate
on a gigantic scale. 1t requires,
frequently, years OF preparation
to reach the realization of pro
duction, and there are few proper
ties in existance where it requires
but the erection of a reduction
plant to convert the copper in the
ground into market value. Where
such properties do exist mills and
smelters are being rushed to COM
pletion, to take advantage of the
raise-but even this will not tend
to lower the price, since all the
properties upon which the reduct-
ion plants are being erected can
not supply sufficient red metal to
cause copper to fall in the scale of
value-and as stated above it tax es
years to develop a copper mine,
but the mine has first to be dis
covered before that can happen,
even.

PatchOuIy.

The introduction of the perfume cali
ed patchouly was caused by the desire
OF French shawlmakers TO deceive
their customers. When shawls were
first brought from India they were per-
fumcd with patchouly, IN extract of an
Indian plant. The French soon learned
to initiate the shawls to perfection, but
the patchouly bothered them, as they
could ind no substitute for 1t, and this
fact was used as the surest means of
distinguishing the genuine India shawls
from the French counterfeits. At last
somebody discovered the secret and
brought Il quantity of patchouly to
France For time the discoverers kept
the matter 70 themselves and reaped Il
harvest. Then some one gave away
the secret. The perfume soon became
popular and has nevHr since passed
completely out of use, though several
times superseded temporarily by other
perfumes.
