HARQUA HALA MINE TO AGAIN
 BE WORKED.
Special Correspondence.

special Correspondence.
 SALOME, Ariz., Dee. 1.-The frs, car load of material for the new aerial trnmway for the fiarqua IIala mine, ar rived in Salome from Trenton, x. J.. today. and n force of men went to work to unload. The tramway is to connect the shaft of the Bonanza and Golden Eagle mines with the mill at the liar. qua Hala shaft, n distance of one mile 1t will carry 10 buckets of five cubic feet capacity, and move them at the rate of 400 feet minute. The tram n run by l2 horse power engine at thc mill end of the tram, and the ! carrying power of the fixture is lO tons an hour, or 240 tons n day. While there is difference of 80 feet in the elevation of the two shafts, the tram crosses several gullies, and encounters considerable adverse grade; the own CTS claim great saving in the cost or transferring their ore to the mill. for as the above figures indicate. 2iO tons of ore are moved n distance of one mile in 24 hours, by m engine of so small capacity, or fuel consumption. as l2 horse power.
 The old liarqua IIala was bonanza property for the locators in the early SOS Even so far from railroad as it then was. the company which operated 1t made large sums of money. Why it was shut down is not exactly known. but doubtless after the first surface pockets had been prospectcd, and the richest nuggets taken out, the owners were satisfied to let it rest until trans. portation facilities were nearer in prospect A watchmaD had been the only employe on the property until within n year, when John R. Martin and his brother, Dr. Ancil Martin of Phoenix, got hold of 1t, and turned it over to group of bankers in Iron. wood, Mich, who proposed to turn in and work 1t as a business enterprise. They have proceeded cautiously and steadily in putting the property in shape to resume working, meanwhile continuing the underground work with gratifying results. Six weeks ago the men came of shift after the best day x work in the last twenty years, for this end of Yuma county, having with n few well placed shots uncovered n gilt. tering mass of gold ore which subse. quent assays proved to be worth $33. 3.OOO n ton.

First Meeting of the Greater Prescott,
 Jockey Club.

At the new Fort Whipple race course, yesterday afternoon, the first meeting of the Greater Prescott Jockey Club was pulled off with all the cclat of the Famous racing courses of the East. Al. though the weather was ideal. the track from the recent rains was cuppy, and, of course, no fast time could be made.
 The following officers were appointed by the Stewards to act at this meet. ing: Starter, Richard Tee; Judge of the Finish. Mir. Dannemiller; Paddock Judge, Thomas Patterson.
 At o'clock the bugle called the horses to the post for the first race, which was selling affair at, q fur. longs, over the Short Course. The fol. lowing gentlemen sported silks: Uncle Sam. Nathan Levy, Frank Andrews, T. N. Reynolds, Johnny Summers, Tom Campbell. Johnny Munds. !. IT. Lee, !. V. Dixon and Fred Eckcrt.
 The horses were at the barrier but n few minutes before Starter Tee sent them oif to n magnificent start. They were well punched until coming into the home stretch, when Lead, nicely handled by her rider, was seen to be going very easily and won with her mouth wide open. When the horses were brought 10 the stand T. II. Key, holds boosted the entered price of the winner and the horse was knocked down to him. Magill claimed the second horse -Longfellow.
 Second Racc-Sclling about two miles-Main Track:
 The field that lined mp before the fn hn one. composed of Lantern, Leader and Lost. Leader won going away. Camp. bell bought in the winner at n good price. Fred Eckcrt claimed Lantern, and the owner of the third horse, whose position in the race was well in keep ing with his name, was so disgusted with the performance that he immedi. ately sold him to ]. V. Dixon.
 Third race Selling-Onc mile Main Track:
 This was a one-horse affair, for old H0oligan SO far out chased his field that coming down the stretch he looked much like the famous Sys0nby, for the boy had his head turned sideways un. der choking pull, in fact, the weather was so cold that he was under double wraps all the way. When he came to the Judges stand, Frank Andrews jumped his price so high at the first bid that he scared all opposition away, and proudly lcd the horse on to the pad. dock.
 Owing to the entries of the next three races not being filed, the meet for the afternoon was called to close.
 Most of the new owners of the horses purchased out of the above races felt as they left the course that they had procured some good bargains in horsetlesh, but Uncle Sam, the late owner of the thoroughbrcds, winked knowingly to those around the ring, and it was quietly remarked by the knowing ones the Old Man had been busy for week or SO getting the horses in shape, trying to patch up their different ail- ments, which ran through the whole catalogue from ring bone to spavin, nnd From colic to distcmper-and then some.

Nhout the middle of October there ar rived in Phoenix a man who passed hs \ Dr Ravlnn. lIr was well along with rnn4umption, nnd was accompanied by Dr. Rowe. a Chicago physician, of past middle age. The doctor found quarters for himself and his patient at tho Union Hotel. on West Washington street. De Raylan was evidently man of wealth and culture. IT." said h" had been assistant Russian vice consul nt Chicago. and had served with the American forces through the war with Spain. lIr had numerous medals which he said had been given him m conncc- tion with that scrvicr and also special letter of commcndation from President McKincly
 He frequently showed Dr. Rowe the photograph of his wife. Mrs. Anna De Rnylan, a singularly handsome and vol. npiuous woman, who wrote him with regularity. He often spoke of his son whom the doctor understood to be nearly grown.
 De Raglan died Tuesday. and the doctor instructed Mohn & Driscoll to take charge of the body. He also sent telegram to Mrs. Anna De Raylan, in forming her of the death of her hus band, and asking her if she would come.
 Mir Mohn went out to the Union t0 make arrangements for the transfer of the body io the morgue. The doctor was there and Mir. Mohn remarked to l.. I.s A.. l..L..l f..r who had pnssed through so much. The body was brought in ana MT. Driscol begun preparations for the embalming He, too. was struck by the peculiarly young and feminine appearance of the face, and when hc stripped the breast bare he was further struck by it's ap pcurancc. X further examination show cd him that his subject was n woman The masquerade had been carried tt the last possible and unnecessary dc tail.
 On the face of the evidence which now appears it is thought that Dc Raylan actually served in the Spanish war for there are those medals which are known to have been issued in tn, circumstances in which De Raglan said he had received his. At present thcr, is an inclination to believe that Prcsi dent Mckinley actually wrote n letter of thanks and conmendation to n gal lant soldier of the name of De Raylan and that the dead girl in the morgu, was he.
 The answer to the telegram sent by Dr. Rowe to Mrs. Anna De Raylnn last night ought to shed some light on this remarkable affair.

question as to whether the rough work
on the isthmus, which is performed by

to dig the canal as efficiently and as
quickly as possible; provided always
that nothing is done that is inhumane
to any laborers. and nothing that in
terferes with the wages of or lowers
the standard of living of our own
workmen. Having in view this prin-
ciple. I have arranged to try several
thousand Chinese laborers. This is de-
sirable both because we must try to
find out what laborers are most eff
Client and. furthermore. because we
should not leave ourselves at the

UPSET THE LAMP.
Small Blaze on Bergan Hill Last
Niqht-Pulled the Table Cloth.

At S:45 O'Clock last night an alarm
of fire was sounded from box 40.
The fire was in a house occupied by
James Nolan on Bergen Hill. Mr..
Nolan's children were sitting arour
a table studying their lessons %
school and one of them got up n 81,
is thought, caught hold of the table
cloth and giving it a pull accidental
ly upset the lamp which was on the
table. Very little damage was done.
The carpet, tablecloth and curtains
in the room were somewhat burned.
The fire was extinguished before the
firemen got there. On the way back
from the fire the truck, which was
being pulled by a lot of small boys as
well as firemen, and going at a lively
gait. ran over a boy, Russell Faulk,
Of Henry street. The boy had hold
of the rope and it is supposed the
truck got going too fast for him and
that he tripped and fell down. He
was picked up and placed on the
chemical engine by Charles Grover
and taken TO DR.. A~lbright's, who
found that he had a number of bruis-
es and pretty well shaken up. The
doctor said no bones We're broken.
After the examination Charles Grow
