"F. W. Mills, Coroner"

According to expert evidence, intro
duced before the jury, the arc lamp
was suspended from support and
the cable which IS ,sed to raise and
lower the lamp, ran over one pulley
placed above the arc, rather than
through two pulleys, one above the
light and one at the pole, as is usually
the case.
This, it was said, had tendency to
allow the cable to touch the hood of
the lamp, and 1t was the opinion OF
the witness that in this way the cable
had become charged. The presence
Of electricit.' in the hood could be &C.
counted for either by leakage from
the insulation inside the body Of the
lamp, or from a leakage from the
wires. through the insulation. This,
the witness stated was possible under
high voltage, even if the insulation
of the wiring was in the best of condi-
ton.

w. F. Raber, general manager of the
Ottumwa Railway & Light Co., when
seen this morning, stated that he had
nothing to say regarding the verdict OF
the jury further than that he had per-
sonally conducted test of the lamp,
from the cable of which young Brewer
received the shock. He said that
though the highest voltage it was pos.
sible to obtain had been used, he had
been unable to discover any leakage
whatever in the lamp or in the insula-
tion of the wires.

 WAIT 0N MARKET Calumet & Arizona Stock Was Brisk at the Opening

Today's market was somewhat dis appointing and tagging. although there were many traders in the field. There seems to be tendency to wait. and many are out of the market and do not care to get into it till after the first of | the year, and start in with new leaf. The demand at the opening for Calu- met & Arizona was strong, and soon put the stock to s17l.00 bid for a few shares. although but very few sales were made at these figures. Sup.

This should. however. not affect the stock to any great extent, but on the other hand it always affects the stock more or less. especially those that buy for a cuick turn.

GREENE GOLD SILVER
 ADDS ID HOLDINGS Concheno Property Is Taken Over by Greene G. s. Co.
 for S1.500,000,

Chihuahua, Mex.-News was receiv- ed here this week that Colonel Greene, for his Greene Goid-Silver Co. had purchased the famous Conceno mines al Concheno, this state. The amount involved in the big deal was not made public but it is absolutel certain that it is in the close neigh berhood of sl ,5o0, 900 gold. The prop erty belonged to the Cia. Beneficiadora de Corcheno in which Corrigan, Me Kinney & Co, wealthy iron miners of Cleveland. O.. were the principal own- CTS and R. B. Hutchison is the man. ager.
 The mines are equipped with a re duction plant and have been good pro- ducers for years. Immense bodies of gold-silver ores of good grade are blocked out. The purchasing con- pany already owns the Nayidad mine adjoining and it is also well developed Col. Greene plans a 300 ton reduction plant at this point where he now con trols the camp.
 The news of this big deal is inter- preted to mean Col. Greene will con- centrate his efforts on the Greene Gold-Silver Co. since his deal just made at Cananea.

NEW COMPANY ISF[OATEDAT
 JOHNSON
Has 100000 Shares at Par Value of $500, and Sub Sciptions Are Received By Wallace H. Hopkins & Co.

A special letter issued this week by Wallace H. Hopkins & Co.,, brokers of 1S1 La Salle street. Chicago. and having branch offices in Milwaukee, Escanaba, Green Bay, Ishpeming, and Sheboygan, tells of the Notation of the Johnson Copper Development com pany with acapitalizatin of 100000 shares of a par value of S3.00 per share and 10000 shares in the treasury.
 The company has taken a bond and made the first payment on five copper claims situated at Johnson in this county about sixty-fiye miles north of Bisbee. Hopkins & Co. have secured an option on fifty thousand shares of the stock at $500 and are offering subscriptions to the stock at the same price-S1.00 payable with subscription.
 A branch railroad is now being built from Dragoon to the copper camp of Johnson and advices to the Review from Dragoon this week state that the railroad is almost completed. This railroad will pass within one hundred feet of the side lines of the Johnson Copper Development company.
 With the entrance of the new rail road into the camp better freight rates will be obtained and ores of lower grade can be shipped at a profit. The Johnson Copper Development Co. has made the first payment on five claims and has an option on two additional claims.
 Johnson, as a copper camp. has been known for twenty years. but it is only lately that it has come into promi- hence. In the early days the Peabody mine which adjoins this property. had a 10-ton smelter which produced cop per matte that was shipped to Fl Paso and other points. A large slag dump on the Peabody" property re- mains as evidence of former mining ana smelting. This dump is now being shipped to the Fl Paso slhelter at g handsome profit, on account of the large percentage of copper contained therein, due to the crude method of smelling in those days. The produc- ton of copper from the camp in the past has attracted. of late, the aten- ion of copper investors, and practi- caliy new copper camp Is being ue- ,yeloped, destined 10 attract great at. tention in the near fuure. A present Johnson is producing at the rate of 450.000 pounds of copper bullion, Fer month, anu the production is beiIg in. creased monthly.
 The prevailing formation of the ore zone at Johnson is limestone, with frequent intrusions of porphyry. Iron ''blow-outs" are in evidence in every direction. Several mines of the dis trict have demonstrated the permanen' cy of the ore bodies at depth. and this fact led to the construction of the rail road into Johnson. The ores of the district crop at the surface, and are easily traced along the ore zone, which is one mile in width by three miles ir length.
