FOUR B|G FREIGHT CARS OFF
 TRACK
Wreck South of Here Near GrandvieW
 Station

2. The Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix wrecking crew returned to the city yesterday afternoon about l o'clock, after spending Thursday night to get four big freight cars back on the track about half mile north of Grandview.
 Thursday evening about o'clock the cars left the track, tying up the freight bound for Ash Fork until the wrecking crew could get things strengthened out.
 About two hours after the wreck Master Mechanic E. DeSilva and Gen eraI Superintendent W. A. Drake left Prescott for Grandview in charge of the wrecking train, and crew of twenty men. They anticipated much longer job than it proved.
 Under the direction of Drake and DeSilva the crew vas put to work, and drought the night worked with the wrecked cars by aid of torchlight.
 Yesterday morning about o'clock the track was clear again, and the freight pulled on into the city. It continued on to Ash Fork without in cident.
 An explanation of the cause of the wreck is that an unusually large furni- ture car, loaded to its fullest capacity struck low place in the track, caus- ed by recent heavy rains, and instead of continuing along the rails it jump. ed to the ties.
 The engineer applied the air in time to prevent a serious wreck but not before three other cars had left the rails. They sto1d on the ties when the train came to halt.
 Mir. DeSilva states that no damage was done to the cars at all, and that the only loss is few rails Traffic was not in the least hindered, the southbound passenger being held here Thursday night on account of bad track between here and Phoenix and not the wreck.

B|G REWARD FOR FINDER OF
 CHILD
Parents Want to To- cate Youth Who
 Ran Away

Find Leo Fleischmann, tell Chief Inspector Stephen O'Brien of New York about it, and you will be re- warded with sl,000, which will be paid by his parents. Fleischmann is a runaway boy believed to be in some part of Arizona. He is possibly in Prescott at the present time.
 Though neither Sheriff Lowry or Chief of Police Prince has received one, officials holding similar positions in the cities of Arizona, New Mexico and California are receiving requests to be on the lookout for the boy.
 Young Fleischmann arrived ip Albu- querque some few months ago, and while there became an object for char ity, though his New York parents would have willingly sent him money had they known he was in need.
 One of the benev volent societies in Albuquerque took the young man in, and provided for him during an ill., ness.
 Without allowing hIs benefactoIs to be informed he secured money and clothing from some source unknown, and left Albuquerque without telling his destination.
 The search for the boy has been prosecuted in Los Angeles, San Fran cisco and other coast cities without success, and it is now believed that he is either in Arizona or New Mexi- co. There is no inkling as to where he is located in either territory.
 Fleischmann' parents are distract ed, and have instrpcted Chef Inspec- tor O'Brien to search without sparing expense. One of the results is an ap- peal for aid from all the police de- partments in the west, which is made with the flattering offer of a reward of Sl, coo for information.
 It is known positively that Fleisch- mann started west from Albuquerque. He did not reach Los Angeles, hence the belief that he must be in some of the cities between. Prescott Is about as likely a city for him as any other.

ASKSTOCKHOLDERS ID TURN II
 DOWN
Chicago Firm Wants to Get Control of
 Braganza

Yavapai county stockholders in the Braganza Gold Mining company are receiving circulars that warn them against accepting a proposition made by Chicago firm to secure control of the company's stock.
 In Chicago newspaper recently an advertisement was printed in which holders of Braganza stock were offer ed forty cents a share, provided the buyers could secure 75 per cent of the outstanding stock.
 Braganza is not selling to any great extent at this time, and is quoted at from fifteen to twenty five cents per share. The offer made for it by the Chicago people is greatly in excess of the present market price.
 The circular to stockholders is sign- ed by WA. Dunn, c. VanAlen Smith, E. E. Fisher, D. E. Terriere, H. A. SchofleId, I. l.. Dimm, R. H. McNatt and Grant Orr, who claim to represent over 100. 900 shares.
 These men claim to forsee great dan gre to the interests of the stockhold- CTS, who remain in the company if tn @ Chicago speculators get control of 75 per cent.
 "The syndicate is not only anxious to purchase 75 per cent of this stock for its investment value, but also to have within their control two third vote required to change the by laws and vote themselves fabulous salaries. These salaries would be almost equal to the income of the property, thus leaving the stockholders out in the cold" says the circular.
 The course being pursued by the Chicago syndicate indicates that un- less they can secure 75 per cent they will not deal. In their offer to pay forty cents share, they stipulate that stock must be placed In escrow in an eastern bank and there held until they have secured the amount they want.
 The BraganZa owns sixteen claims near McCabe with two of them devel- oped into mines. It is promised that as soon as milling begins annual divi- dends of from l5 to 9 per cent will be paid.

 The Prescott Engineering Works is one of the institutions of tte territory and is prepared to do class of work that is beyond the facilities ot the ordinary machine shop. It has g heavy rolling machine for curving un- usually thick boiler plate, and is the only one in Arizona, while their screw cutting lathe is the largest in the territory. There is a complete equipment for boiler work, and among other facilities is set of tools for boring engine cylinders, class of work which can be performed by the concern at the place of installation, thereby avoiding the necessity of re- moving the cylinder to the shop.
 The active owners of the enterprise are George T. Beach and George I. Peters, both expert mechanics and men of original ideas. By their in dustry and skill they have built up a thriving business which is not only a credit but an advantage to the com munity as it is the means of bringing much money into local circulation which would otherwise be sent away were it not possible to do the work here.

DEMOCRACY IS
 PARKER'S THEME

NEW YORK, April l3.-Seven hun dred democrats attended Jefferson banquet of Democratic club of New York at Waldorf Astoria tonight Many men of national tame were there chief among them being Alton B. Par ker, late democratic candidate for president. Parker was first speaker and was enthu siastically received. His speech was on the future of the democratic party and was replete with suggestions for harmony and ur- gent appeals against sectionalism. He said in part:
 l do not come here to make excuse or explanation about the past, to pro mote any personal purpose or ambi- tion for the future, or to further the ends of any section, faction or interest.
 We meet after defeat which was easy to foresee and predict. It was preceded by division and faction in our ranks over a period of eight years and they have done their worst. When analysed the Democratic party, in all its past history, has been true to a few general ideas and policies. They may be enumerated as follows:
 IA strict interpretation of the constitution which implies resistance to centralization by the federal gov ernment because it is opposed to the
Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1905-04-19

fundamental idea of our system of popular government and for the fur ther reason that all human experience shows that that way danger lies.
 1.-The levy of import duties and other taxes with strict regard to the industrial interests of all our people whether producers or consumers, whether manufacturers, farmers or workmen, and always at rates which, while just to all, shall be essentially revenue producing, thus eliminating monopoly and favoritism.
 3-C0nstant, unremitting attention to honest, economical expenditure of the taxes collected from the people; and
 4-Non-interference in the political affairs of other nations, thus making entangling alliances as impossible as they are undesirable and un-Ameri- can.
 From time to time, much idle talk is indulged in about the organization or the reorganization of the democrat ic party. This is to forget two things. The first is, that, when a party has an idea and policy which makes appeal to half the people, they will not be long in getting together to promote this idea and this policy.
 The second thing to be borne in mind about organization is that it be- gins down in the smallest political units that compose our political life.
 The dinner resolved itself into jollification over election of Mayor Edward F. Dunne, who is a director of the club and was among speakers who responded to toasts. All speakers in the course of their remarks referred to municipal ownership and to Dun ne's recent election on that platform. Wm. j. Bryan chose for his subject ''Thomas Jefferson" and his remarks were greeted with unstinted applause. Williams took for his theme, Equal Rights to All, and Special Privileges to None" Mayor Dunne spoke on Municipal Ownership" ending his by appealing to the demo- cratic party to incorporate a munici pal ownership plank in the platform to be adopted at the next national of the party. Among eth. CT speakers were Tom l.. Johnson, J. Lewis, Clarence s. Darrow.

New Inventions That Alb in
 Mining.

The present and growing activity in mining circles, is forcibly demonstrat- ed by the hum of industry at the Prescott Engineering Works where the work has increased to such an extent that it bas been necessary recently to labor at night on a number of occa- sions.
 This large and completely equipped machine shop is now engaged in build ing torpedo shaft bucket which in- cludes some new features that will ap- peal to every observant aud shrewd mining manager. A feature not pos sessed by any other bucket is in the valve which is so constructed as to resist the corrosive effects of strong acid water. The bucket is equipped either with a swinging or rigid bale, as may be preferred, the eye of which is forged of heavy Norway iron instead of being in the form of loop as is the usual construction. 1t gives rigid ity to the top of the bucket and pre- vents the caulking in the seams work ing loose. All the rivets in the buck ct are driven hot, the holes are count CT sunk and the seams are chisel bev- eled and caulked. The bucket under construction is being made for the Gladstone mine being ordered by Ce- cil G. Fennell, who has two otber buckets of the same kind in use at his other properties, where they have been tested and their superiority thus dem onstrated.
 An ore car embracing new and i'm proved principles of construction, is one of the specialties also manufac- tured by the Prescott Engineering Works. An original feature is the heavy yoke of F inch forging encir- cling the body, which forms part of the dumping apparatus. This keeps the side from swedging out and insures durability. Owing to the novel con struction of the mechanism, it is i'm possible for the bottom of the body to be bent down upon the turn table, anc this in itself is a valuable improve. ment over the ordinary ore ear. A false bottom is added to protect the underlying sheet and this prolongs the life of the car.
 4 feature that will readily appeal to mining men is the original dumping mechanism. The wheels being exact ly under the center, the car not only runs easier but what is still more i'm portant, is the fact that the center of the dump is arranged to take take place within three inches from the center of the cara feature not found in any other car. These cars can be

WILCOX IS FOUND AFTER 4 LONG
 SEARCH
IndiCtedHere YearsAgo For Impersonating
 An Inspector

Johnson Wilcox, who was indicted by federal grand jury in Prescott in lS99 for impersonating a postoftice in- spector for the purpose of fraud, is to be tried here at the next term of the federal court.
 Wilcox, who has given the federal officers chase that extended pretty much all over the country, was cap- tured in Mississippi the latter part of last year. He is now being held in Phoenix, and will be brought here by a deputy United States marshal.
 Little is known in Prescott about the details of the charge against Will cox. 1t is Inown that be was indict- ed, but many changes have taken place since then, and those who know the details of the case are either gone or do no care to talk.
 Wilcox told Deputy United States Marshal F. W. Hill, who brought him to Phoenix, that he never claimed to be posroffice inspector and that those who assumed that he did deceived themselves.
 He says thought that he was in the employ of a stage company and Tn looking into the matter of the com pany's mail contracts he made him self somewhat familiar around the postoffice. If anybody took him for an inspector it was their privilege to do so.
 But whatever he did that was irreg- ular it appears that he got out of the country before the wheels of the legal machinery began to move, and though indicted in 1899 he was not apprehend ed until the latter part of last year, when he fell into the clutchess of United States marshal in Mississip- pi.
 Judge Niles of that state ordered him sent to Prescott for trial in due course of time and sometime in March Mississippi marshal started for Phoenix with him.
 He got as far as MEricopa, as great many other people did Tn March and found that he had gone the limit. Maricopa was the end of theyworld in that direction, or rather the Gila bridge was and MariIopa is not far from it.
