RAILROAD IS SUED FOR s1o,ooo
 DAMAGES.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Ten thousand dollars is the sum which Mrs. Minnie Riggles asks of the Prescott and Eastern railroad as dam ages for the loss of her husband, who was killed on March 31 of this year. Of this sum she asks 5000 for herself and 5000 for her four minor children, through being deprEed of the care and support of a husband and father.
 Suit was commenced yesterday, and in the complaint the plaintiff alleges that her late husband was a brakeman on the P. and E. road, and that he was ordered to assist in switching certain cars on a siding at Chaparral station. It is declared that it was the duty of the defendant corporation to provide suitable appliances for the safety of its employees; that there was a car of lumber on the siding, between the cars that were being handled by her hus- odhu' anu IndI IHe sIdhudruS anu siu- ings used to hold the lumber on the car had been removed by the defend ants; that while switching the lumber fell upon plaintiff s husband, causing his death. It is claimed that it was the negligence of the company that was responsible for the lumber falling from the car of her husband, Madison Riggles, and by reason of his death she and her children have been damaged in the sum of $10,000.

SUPPLY OF COPPER NOT EQUAL f TO DEMAND.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Here are some opinions by promin- ent copper authorities on the copper situation that are worthy of careful noting:
 MT. Charles Kirckhoff, who is at tached to the United States Geological Survey, and one of the best-informed men in this country on copper condi- tions, has compiled a report on the copper industry of the world, in which he says:
 "A comparatively high level of prices, an enormous production and an unprecedented export demand were the characteristic features of the cop per trade in 1904. Broadly, the features were an increase in the production of copper in the United States of IA, ,492, 750 pounds from 69S, ,O44, ,517 pounds in 1903 to s12, ,537 ,267 pounds in 1904, and an increase in the net exports of 231, ,63S,043 pounds from 151, ,614,632 pounds in 1903 to 3s3, ,252, ,675 pounds in 1904. In other words, the enormous export trade absorbed not alone the in- crease in production, but 117,145,29 pounds additional. Our domestic consumption, however, fell off in 1904 as compared with 1903, so that instead of drawing upon our stocks to the ex- tent of the whole 117,OOO,OOO pounds we drew upon them only to the ex- tent of about 56,OOO,OOO pounds.''
 MT. John Stanton, whose know ledge of copper conditions is acknow- lodged to be second to none, assumes an aggessive position in respect to the legitimacy of present prices. In an interview MT. Stanton says:
 "Some of the writers on copper af- fairs are utterly ignorant of the true situation, or else. they write falsely for purposes of their own. The fact is the demand for the metal is over whelming and there is not enough cop per in existence today to go around. We cannot get enough from our mines CT other sources to supply our regular

 ING MAILS.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

R. E. Mansfield, assistant superinten- dent of the United States Railway Mail service, is in Prescott, being herc on business connected with the letting of contracts for the Star line service for the four years from July, 1906, to 1910.
 MT. Mansfield, although Washington, D. C., IS his headquarters, calls Georgia his home. In the Georgia and Caro- lima department of the G. A. R., he IS a prominent official, being the chief of staff of Commander L. F. Fairbanks.
 MT. Mansfield states that it is the wish of the government to give the best possible service and with that end in view he is making this trip with view of stimulating interest among bidders that the star route or stage line route service may be made as nearly perfect as possible.
 It is desired that as many as pos sible bid for this woTS, and he states that there is no such thing as man getting the contract because he has had it several years. It is the bid that counts.
 Bids for this work must be Tn the hands of the department at Washing ton by December 5 of this year, and the result of the competition will be announced not later than February l, 1906.
 There are a large number of routes in this county for which contracts are to be let. and those who wish to bid may secure blank proposals and other information from Postmaster Smith of Prescott.
 The government issues pamphlet showing the routes, the service requir- ed, and the rate that is being paid und- CT present contracts for carrying the mails. An abstract from the same as it applies to this county is as follows:

CAsHEs TWO CHECKS THAT TURN
 OUT WORTHLESS.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Passing fraudulent cheeks seems to be as popular as ever, and Sam P. Bow en of Phoenix, who claims to be a mining man, is in the county jail as a result of indulging in the preearious pastime.
 Robert Brow, of the Palace, is one of the victims of Bowen's alleged swind- ling propensities. He eashed draft on Los Angeles for $36 on Saturday, and later he accommodated him like wise in paying the face value of a check on the Bank of Arizona purport- ing to be worth $50.
 When Brow made his bank deposit on Monday he learned that the paper was worthless, and notified the sheriff. Bowen was located in one of the sa- looms by Under-Sheriff Neagle, and he was placed in ustody. His prelim- mary examination will take place to- day before Justice Talbot.
 It was learned yesterday that he attempted to pass a worthless check on Mrs. Ecker, who conducts a rooming house on North Montezuma street. Bow en had been stopping there since he ar rived in Prescott, and Mrs. Ecker was impressed with the belief that her lod- ger was a man of wealth. When he ask ed her to cash the check, she was will ing to do so, but not having enough money in the house, she loaned him SIS.
 It is said that he also tried to work the same game on Mrs. Winchester, but failed in his purpose.
 Bowen is said to have a daughter in Phoenix and this is not his first visit to Prescott His face was so well known that Brow was easily de- ceived into believing that he actually knew the man, and never doubted the value of the paper when it was offered to him.

CAMERON TO RETAIN BRIGHT
 ANGEL TRAIL.
Land Office Decides That Railroad Fail co to Prove Allegations.
 (From Fridays Daily.)

R. H. Cameron, of Coeonino county, has scored again in another of his nu- merous legal battles with the Grand Canyon Railway Co.
 Register Hildreth and Receiver Moore of the land office, yesterday gave their decision that the railroad had wholly failed to prove any of, the ale gations on which it based its protest against the granting of patents to min eral claims that had been located by Cameron.
 These claims are the Magician, the Wizard, and the Alder mill site, and they embrace a portion of the Bright Angel trail to the Grand Canyon. The railroad desires possession of the Trail, and sought to oust Cameron from its possession by attempting through protest with the land office to prevent his obtaining patents to the ground in question. It is the company's eonten- tion that it's pupose in so doing is to make the Bright Angel Trail access sible to tourists and sightseers without paying the toll that is exaeted by Cameron. On the other hand, Cameron has a good thing in the Trail in the way of a money maker, and does not want to part with it.
 The hearing of the protest came up before the Prescott land office the oth- CT day, and occupied two and half days. a resume of the testimony being

PLUNGES HEADLoNG TO A
 FRIGHTFUL DEATH.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 While thinking of other matters, and not observing where his steps were leading, George H. McDonald accI- dentally plunged headlong down the shaft of the Lelan mine on Monday af ternoon, and met an awful death, after dropping 200 feet.
 Mcdonald was working on the 300 foot level, and was going to put off a shot in one of the drifts as his last duty before quitting work for the day.
 He was accompanied by George Du- wall, who was walking just ahead of him. Suddenly Duvall heard his fel- low miner scream, and turned around in time to view the awful sight of his companion plunging down the black hole to instant death. The cage was signalled, and with it came assistance, and when the miners reached the bot tom of the shaft at the 800 foot level, a grewsome sight met their eyes. Me Donald had struck head foremost and his skull was shattered with the brains lying beside the body, which was in a frightfully mangled condition. His right leg was also broken in several places.
 The brains of the dead miner were placed in his cap, and with the body were brought to the surface. An hour later an inquest was held before Jus tice Foley, and verdict of accidental death was returned.
 It was the first accident that has oc- cured at the Lelan, and all the off cials and men feel very sad over the un- for tunate affair. MeDonald was thor oughly familiar with the mine, and was especially acquainted with the level in which he has been working for over a month. He was a man of excep- tional intelligence, of steady habits, and the management, recognizing his ability, had planned to give him a fore manship at the first pportunity. He was highly esteemed by his fellow workmen, and his death has cast a gloom over the Miners Union at Me Cabe, of which deceased was valued member
 The time of the accident was 4.03 p. m., for the watch found on his person had stopped at that time.
 Deceased leaves a wife in Oregon, to whom a telegram was sent. The dis position of the remains will not be determined until word is received from her. The Masons and Odd Eel lows, of which deceased was an ae- tive member, took charge of the body, and yesterday arranged to have it sent to H. M Maus & Co.'S undertaking parlors in Prescott, where they now rest.
 Deceased was about 45 years of age, and came here recently from Oregon. No other theory of the accident can be reached by the mine officials than the one that he was abstracted in thought, as he walked straight into the shaft, around which there is plenty of space.
 This is the third accident of the samc kind that has occurred within the past four weeks in Yavapai county, the two others having taken place at the United Verde mine within a few days of each other.

RANGER RYNNING TAKES A LONG
 RIDE.
(Frem Wednesdays Daily.)


 To spend six weeks in the saddle and cover 1900 miles is not what any ordinary man would care to do. Cap tain Thomas Rynning has just com pleted such a ride, and without any i'll effects.
 Captain Rynning spent yesterday in Prescott and will continue his trip to the northern part of the territory on official police.
 With becoming modesty Captain Ryn- ming consented to tell some of the fea- lures of his long ride. In the telling he did not appear to think it had been much of an exploit, though to most anyone else it would have been an event of G lifetime.
 Investigation of cattle killing cases was what took the ranger captain from Douglas on horseback to the extreme northeastern portion of Arizona. In- dians have been giving the cattle own CTS considerable trouble by killing their cattle.
 Rynning's first ride was from Naco through Santa Cruz and Pima counties and back, a distance of about 800 miles. He saw nothing exceptionally startling on the trip, but wherever he found ranger he gave him in structions.
 After returning to Douglas, Ryn- ming got a fresh horse and started north, going through Cochise, Graham, and Gila counties, and into Pinal. At one time he was within seventy-five miles of the Tonto Basin. From there he continued north into Navajo and Apache counties.
 In the White river country Captain Rynning met a party of Bisbee hunt CTS who were out for a vacation. He had the pleasure of acting as their guard.
 Captain Rynning states that the White river section is one of the best hunting grounds. In White river he found fish in plenty, the trout there be- ing large and easy to catch. Other game such as deer, wild turkeys, and quail abounds in plenty.
 He learned of a number of instances where the Indians were killing cattle, some of which he investigated. The rangers are devoting much of their time to running down the eulprits, and arrests will probably follow.
 Recently the cowboys in the Criaca- hua mountains caught an Indian for killing cattle and brought him to Globe. He is brother of the judge on the agency in charge of Judge Grouse. It is stated that the ease against him is strong one.
 Captain Rynning tells of an inter esting incident that took place in Co., chise county. Deputy Sheriff Hay hurst was attacked by two Mexicans, and shot one of them at close range with a 32-calibre revolver. A few min utes after the shooting the Mexican spat up the bullet. He is not badly hurt.

WAS zACK BOOTH OF FAMOUS
 STOCK?
From Wednesdays Daily.1

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Was Zack Booth, recently hung at Globe, related to John Wilkes Booth, who stabbed Abraham Lincoln in Ford's Theater in Washington, D. C., on April IA, 1s65i asks the Phoenix Enterprise.
 Zack Booth s father during his life time in this territory claimed to ex- Sheriff Henry Thompson of Gila coun- ty that he was cousin of John Wilkes Booth as well as to Edwin Booth of histrionic fame.
 The hanging of Booth at Globe has aroused interest in the tracing of the family tree, and it is possible that an effort will be made to trace the matter back and determine whether or not the same murderous blood eoursed through his veins that made John Wilkes Booths name abhorred for all time to come.
 It is recalled now that Zach Booth had many characteristics similar to those of his namesake. He always had love for the spectacular, and even as he stood on the scaffold at Globe, about to be sent into eternity, he could not refrain from the qualification of this morbid sense.
 Zack Booths face bore many flea lures similar to those of John Wilkes Booth, as well as many of the manner isms of the assassinatOr of Lincoln. His theatrical manner and dramatic poses were also suggestive of relationship.
 All accounts appear to agree that Zack Booths killing of Wiley Berry and Juan Vigil was a eold-blooded sf- fair. The man that stabbed Lincoln committed one of the most cold-blood- ed crimes in history, and if he had any provocation outside of a diseased i'm agination it has never been learned.
 Zack Booth s career, as well as that of two brothers and his father, appears to have been one that brought him constantly into conflict with law and order.
 They lived in Lampasas and Del Rion counties, Texas, in the early days, and were driven out of both of them because of their lawless acts, fin ally settling near White Oaks, New Mexico. They were forced to move to the vicinity of Payson in this ter ritory. For thirty years members of the family terrorized that part of Arizona.
 Zach Booth escaped conviction of several shooting serapes in which he figured in Apache and Navajo eoun- ties. He was sentenced to serve a long term in the penitentiary for steal ing cattle in the early '9O's from John Gray at Payson.
 A Mississippi relative, who had been member of Congress, secured his parole, and finally his pardon. He then returned to the Tonto, and with few exceptions led quiet life until the killing of Berry and Vigil.
 The history of the Booths in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona would be q continued tale of misdeeds, but few of which they were ever called upon for an accounting. They managed to hold those they outraged in such terror that none of them would testify against the Booths.

customers, and are declining orders right along. We are sold ahead for all this year. have sold no copper to spectators, for I have only sold to my own regular customers, and who are still demanding more. I know of no speculative holdings of the metal, though there may be small lots held here and there, but they would only be as a drop in the bucket"
 Under the heading of "The Truth about Copper" the New York Com mercial says:
 "That those obscure journals which for fortnight past have striven zealously by inuendo and downright falsifcation to make the public believe that there is something amiss in the copper market, and that enormous re- serves of ore are being held at Shanghai to be later precipitated upon us to the utter demoralization of our market, should have studiously closed their eyes to the lesson inculeated by the recent advance of copper in the London markets, furnishes presumptive evil dence of the bad faith which has ami mated their attack upon one of America's most thriving industries.
 "On two successive days, spot cop per and copper for future delivery have registered notable advances in the London market. The former is now quoted at 17s Cd ton higher than two days ago with further advance of 12s Cd a ton since then, and the ten dency of the market runs decidedly in the direction of higher prices. London knows that all this talk about copper being accumulated in China for specu- lative purposes is merely an incor- poreal spectre set in motion by specu- lators who seek quick profit by de- pressing the stock market. London knows that our exportation of copper to China went to fill legitimate de- mand; that the output of our mines and smelters has been contracted for six months ahead, and that no reason able probability exists of any marked recession in the rates this year of any grade of commercial copper.
 ''The innate absurdity of the Shang- hai tarradiddle was further exposed in New York the other day by one of the most important firms in the metal trade publicly offering to take at full market price any and all copper that might be brought here from China and offered for sale. The genesis of this Chinese copper myth forms an amusing chapter in the records of hu- man gullibility. A foreign buyer sought this market with an eye keen for bargains, finding it impossible to secure any recessions in the quoted price of either lake or eleetrolytie for immediate delivery, determined to en- gage such newspapers as were amen able to his argument In crusade against the metal market and the es- tablished price. His overtures were in almost every instance promptly re- iected, but one ancient mariner which devotes scant attention to every com mercial and financial subject, save shipping, fell willing victim to his siren song, albeit it was rendered in dialect. The result-the reams of rot about incalculable reserves of cop per at Shanghai on which the recent advances in the selling price of the metal at London has placed quietus. !"
