FALLS DOWN SHAFT IN MINE
 ef ~ AND IS KILLED ~ -

 . Unused Co the ways of the west. a tcndcrfoo,, in the parlancc of western men, ignorant of the pitfalls n big mine contains for the unwary, William Newton, or E. Rucgg, as his name may possibly be, fell to his death down n manway in tho workings of the Czar mine of the Copper Queen mines in Bisb,c.
 Newton, or Rucgg, had been In the city but a. few days and had gone Co work as a carman but half an hour before the fatal accident which claim. ed his life
 From an entry in his note book it is presumed that hc is from Hobokcn, N. l., and that he is either n relative oI close friend of Mrs. Ollie Rucgg. Thi, wrmisc scene more plausible because of the fact that in a note book found in his clothing hc had the entry: "1r case of accident or sudden death please notify Mrs. Ollie Ruegg, IIobcken x. J."
 The dead man gave his name as Will jam Newton to the company when h ,ntcred on the list of employees. Tstto marks on his arm show the initial "E. R." which in connection with th address found in the note book lead to the conclusion that his name rather Rucgg than Newton.
 But little or nothing Is known o the victim ns he arrived in Bisbec bu three days before the fatal fall. " had just taken his second ear of ore the shaft and was presumably turnin it to run it on the cage, when he eith' tipped or stepped back, falling dow , he manyway to the level below, lo feet.

COPPER QUIET BUT MARKET IS
 VERY FIRM.

The copper market is quiet, but firm. Lake and elcctrolytics are selling at 22 to 23 cents per pound, quantity nnh date of delivery determining the frac- tion. There Is practically famine in cash copper, and it said that ns high as 2ih cents has been paid for immc- diatc deliveries. The report of the large sale of Lake copper by the Calu- net & Hecla company at 22h cents per pound Is confirmed. Calumet \ Hccla interests say that consumers willingly pay 22's cents per pound for copper.
 There is no change in the foreigr dtaation. Quotations for the mcte in the London speculative markct ar' | stronger again, and great man, | European consumers arc in the mar ket here trying to buy supplies. N sar as can be learned there is no indi cation of an early decrease in con sumption and the gain in pr"dr"' "' is exceedingly slow. Tho prospect continue good that the average prie of copper next year will bc 20 cent per pound or higher.
 Further increases in copper mioin dividend distribution will be forth coming in the near future. The eoppe mines of this country arc putting on at the rate of I,O5o, 100000 pounds O copper annually, and with the Pric above 20 cents per pound, their nc profits are about siO,00o,0O0 monthl, If no more new money than this invested in copper stocks, very sul stantiaI advance in prices may be e' pected.

 It appeared from the testimony that the killing occurred a short distance From the Lamar saloon, run by Ramon Cordova, who ejected Rodriguez and Miranda from back room of the premises few minutes before the shooting, for raising a disturbance in the apartment, which he had rented some days before to woman claiming to be Miranda's wife.

KE0HAME' .,f|LeS0A 7. PETITION F0R
 OFFICE Declares Prescott Is
 Entitled to Two Justices Wants Supervisors To
 Issue Him Election Certificate

Yesterday, Justice of the Peace r. ]. Keohanc filed n petition in the office of the Board of Supervisors setting forth that the City of Prescott had n popu. lation of over 5000 people, and was therefore entitled to two Justices of the Peace, under the law, and asking that the Board issue him a certificate of election, for the reason that he had received the second highest number of votes in the recent election.
 The Board took no official action on | the petition, as the population of Prescott, according to the government census of 1900, is less than 5000 poo.
 pie, and consequently entitled to only l one Justice of the Peace.
 | Friends of Kcohanc in,inated late
 last evening than mandamus proceed.
 ings would be instituted in the District
 Court to compel tho Board of Super
 visors to issue n certificate of election
 to him, but Mir. Keobsnc, when seen
 by n Journal. Miner representative, de-
 nied that such action was coniem-
 plated.
 The same question also arose al the
 regular election held here two years
 ago, when 1t was also claimed that the
 city was entitled Co two Justices, since , 1t was n matter of common knowledge that the city had more than 5000 in | habitants, but no legal proceeding were instituted to compel the Board ' to issue n certificate of election to the party receiving tho second highest
 number of votes.
 Tho vote east iu the two precincts ! of Prescott for Justice of tho Peace . this year was C.. II. Mclean, 263; r. J y Keohane, 242, and !. M. w. Moore, l6a r elccting McLsne by a majority of 2l Q votes over Kcohane, who had major r. ity of 70 over Moore.

It was never the intention of the
east end to make the vote a test for
fighting strength on county seat re-
nOval, but since the Prosser press be-.
came so nervous about the matter,
east enders have given the matter
sonie attention, and they are not sur
prised to find by the recent vote that
this part of the county has votes enough
to defeat ProsSer. 1t is matter of
general comment since election that
the east end holds the power, and in
united action can outvote the county
seat at the present time. They also
point to the fact that this end of the
county is receiving from three to five
new settlers to every one that goes into
the west end of the county. Interest
ing developments may take place in
side of the next two or four years, so
Prosser may as we'll continue to be
scared. A united east end may make
thugs interesting for the county seat,
since the PrOsser people have been so
insistant in challenging the east end to
a test vote. One fact is assured-this
part of Benton County will not permit
Prosser to forget that it begged for a
test vote on the removal of the county
court house from Prosser to Keunewick
Sunshine.

Attorney General Atkison rem
dered the following opinion to G.
w. Sutton, of Bickleton, Wash.
"Your favor making inquiry as
to the proper method in which to
proceed against parties who refuse
to cut down all the Canada thistles
growing upon their land received,
and in reply thereto personally we
would say that tt is the duty of the
road supervisor, according to the
provisions of section 1913, Pierce's
code, to give notice to the owner of
any land on which Canada or Rus
sian thistles are growing to have
same cut, and if such owner fails
SO to do within 10 days it is the
supervisors duty to enter upon
such land and cause the same to be
cut, sending the bill in to the owner
of the land, and in his failure to
pay same in 80 days. to present the
said bill to the county commission
ers, whose duty it is to pay same
and to collect the same by levying
an additional tax upon the land in
question.
The act also provides that the
owner OF any land upon which Can
ada or Russian this,les are permit
to 60 seed shall be guilty of mis-
deameanor, and on conviction shall
be liable to a fine of not to exceed
$40. Criminal actions of this ma
ture may be instituted by swearing
out complaint before some justice
of the peace of the county in which
the land is located, or by swearin g
out an information before the pros
ecuting attorney of said county.
Justices of the peace have concur
rent jurisdiction with the superior
courts in such matters.
