THE DANGER OF BOWLING.

One of the most peculiar accidents ever recorded in sporting annals may cause William II. McGinty to lose his right hand. The young man is well known bowler employed in the office of Borough President James Cassidy in Long Island City. Bowling is his fa- vorite sport, and when he recently biistered his hand at it no attention was paid to it. Some matter got into it, however. and a call on Dr Mcken- ma. his family physician, yesterday, with his thumb and arm swollen to twice their normal size, developed the stoic in the man.
 You have blood poisoning, young man. and I'll try to save your hand, but can't promise,' said the M. D.
 And there are two good matches coming on and can't play" was all the reply from McGinty.

Although George Bothner, the light weight champion wrestler of America was beaten in Montreal by Eugene Tremblay. the Canadian champion, the affair did not involve the champion ship of the world, as was reported, for neither man held that title.
 JIU-JITSU MEN TACKLE CADETS.
 West Point, N. Y., Feb 21.-Consul- General Uchida of Japan, accompanied by two jiu-jitsu performers, visited the Military academy yesterday. In the gymnasium the performers gave an ex. hibition of their method of wrestling.
 First fourth class man was picked out to take q turn. His stay was short. Then Daily, the famous Harvard quar- terback, wasfmvited to enter the arena. Daily held his own until he was com. pelled to retire on account of a, sprained ankle. Then TiptOn, West Points star football center, had try. and he seemed to handle the jiu-jitsu fellows at will, throwing them all over the mat. One he tossed over his head.
 The laps admitted that the West Pointers were the hardest problems they had as yet gone up against.

SOME FAST MILES.

two minutes was made on bicycle. Marvellous, marvelous!" people said. "It will stand as a record for years to come" And now this latest contriv- ance of mans ingenuity is travelling miles in less than 35 seconds. It would seem that this must surely be the acme of speed. Yet it Is said an electric train in Germany can travel at the rate of 120 miles an hour, or two miles a minute.
 Such 8 prediction as this seems too absurd to be worthy of any considera- tion whatever. Three miles minute would mean one mile in 20 seconds. Absolutely impossible, the skeptic will say. But stop a minute Had proph- ct of 30 years ago possessed the temer- ity to predict an accomplishment such as was made by Mir. Bowden, what sort of a reception would his prophecy have received? He would either have been told that he was crazy or advised to use another brand of dream producing dope.
 On June 16, 1906, the Connecticut Rec ord contained the following notice: "Fast trotting yesterday afternoon the Harlem race course of one miles distance was trotted around in two minutes and 59 seconds by a horse called Yankee from New Haven. rate of speed never excelled in this coun- try"
 Readers of that item probably imag- ined the horse a most remarn able ani- nal, or possibly wagged their heads knowingly and murmured something about the exaggeration of the press. It was in 1892, s6 years later, that the country was amazed by the perform ance of Nancy Hanks, who broke all records for a mile by trotting the dis tance in 2:04. Competent judges of

BIG COPPER STRIKE MADE NEAR

Phoenix, Nov. 17.-Attorney J. H. Iangston, who has just returned from Kelvin, brings the first news of rich copper strike made two miles from that place, which is causing considera- ble excitement A California pros pector has found a big ledge that as says 27 per cent copper Claims are being staked out all around the new strike. In Kelvin last night the Kel- win Reduction company held a public meeting at which it announced to the people it's plans and intentions. This company has recently taken over the Ray mines, and proposes to do large amount of development work. At torney Langston states that never be fore has there been such activity in mines as there is at this time around Kelvin. Many outside capitalists are investing, preparing to expend large sums in development of promising claims Langston made the trip to examine group of twentyone claims which he will probably take over for the owners and organize into a devel- opment company. He states that seV eral of the claims give promise of be coming big ore producers.

HIGHER PRICES LOOK
 TO BE NOW IN ORDER
THE MARKET HELD STRONG THROUGHOUT YESTERDAY.
More Call for Stock Than There Are Distinguishes Improve All Along the Line-No C. & p. to Be Had. Junction Reaches $29.
(By Frank J. Graf.)


 Bisbee, Nov. 17.
 Today we had another lively mar ket with plenty of bidders and short age of stock. Everybody wants to buy now that the market is advanc- ing, and the result is that stocks are scarce. There was no Calumet & Pittsburg offered at any time during the day, and Junction was hard to find. The market is in a good, healthy condition, with every indica- tion of going higher from now on. The fact that money is again normal, at per cent, has much to do with the present condition of the market
 Calumet & Arizona held firm all day, with sales at $1l7 and S117.50, and a strong demand. As stated above, Calumet & Pittsburg was not to be found on the market, and bids of SS450 and $35 failed to bring out a share Lake Superior & Pittsburg held at s37.50, with few sales at that figure. Pittsburg 6 Duluth showed good demand on the eastern markets at S25.50 and s26, will all of ferings readily picked up. Junction was another fierce one with a few shares at s2S.50 early in the morning which were quickly picked up. At the close $29 failed to bring out any, and there was little being offered at sS0. Denn is also scarce, only few shares being picked up today. War ren offerings are also scarce, with all at $14 cleaned up and none in sight tonight. Black Mountain was offer ed at s1O.00 for S5 paid stock. All stocks are in demand, and we look for higher prices tomorrow.

Florence. county seat of Pinal coun- ty, center of great mining district, and city of much promise. is just now on the crest of a wave of prosperity such as the place has never known before.
 Editor Tom weedin was in the city for few hours this morning. says the Phoenix Enterprise, on his way to Florence from Pima county, where he has been on affairs connected with the Mineral Hill Consolidated Copper com pany. corporation that has taken over the Casa Grande canal About 35. 900 acres of fine farming land will be brought under cultivation.
 The Florence Canal company has ob- tained options on about 70 per cent of the land under it's canal, ana will colonize this, already having loo fami- lies, who are expected in Florence to take up their new homes before the first of the coming year.
 Weedin this morning outlined the plan under which the company is working. and it is certainly one that will appeal to farmers. They propose to attach all the water rights to the land, and sell the land to farmers.
 Weedin states that there are 3S5. 900 acres of unappropriated government land around Florence It is his opin- ion that the outcome of the Florence Canal Company's operations will be the construction of the San Carlos reservoir.
 In solid rock on the Gila, ten miles east of Florence, the new canal com pany has taken out a new head. They have a suction dredger on the way. that will clean out the old Casa Gran, de canal.
 Weedin further states that the Par affine Oil company, which has expend- ed S22.O00 in development work, isI preparing to resume.

This report is thorough and com

The sum of the receipts for fees

amount received for taxes for the
