Special to The Herald.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March S1.-The
arrest of William Christmas, a son,
and Walter Holland, a son-in-law of
7. M. Christmas and wife, who, with
their young son, were murdered in their
home near Cottonwood a few weeks
ago, has revealed a remarkable ex-
ample of the negro race.
The triple murder stirred several
counties and citizens offered $250O re-
ward for the capture of the murderers.
A detective from Chicago hid in the
woods near Cottonwood and posed as
an escaped murderer from Georgia. He
hired a negro whom he suspected to
bring his meals to a spot near where
he also concealed a ventriloquist. A
mule grazing in the woods was made
to talk to the negro, whose superstition
was worked upon until he confessed
the details of the murder to the mule.
The detective overheard the confession
and tonight arrested Christmas and
Holland. Other arrests are expected.

Biz Demand for Ore

Never in the history of mining has
there been such demand for gold
silver-lead ores. The Tonopah-Gold-
field region has produced such vast
quantities of siliceous ores that the
smelters will not be able to work them
up for ten years to come, and they
simply must have ores such as we are
mining to work them up with. This
month the Salt Lake smelters are
compelled to buy pig lead to use as a
fux. We have letters on file in this
office at present from several smelters
urging us to divide up our shipments,
so that we have market for every
pound of ore that we can produce. We
are however, holding our ores back as
much as possible, as the Great West

NEW YORK, March 31.-When the
Hamburg liner Deutschland was off the
Newfoundland banks on her trip to
New York a dispute arose between two
passengers in the smoking room as to
whether her twin screws were both in
the stern or one forward and the other
astern.
The disputants grew angry when the
other passengers suggested that the
port side of a steamer was the side
from which people disembarked and
reserved particularly for honeymoon
couples and young men and women
contemplating matrimony.
IT won't stand for all this nonsense"
said one of the men. "They are MAX

you where you are wrong
"You mean go below, as you are on

'I mean aloft, to the spinnaker

was sent sailing over a table by right

The fighters were separated and con-

to shake hands.
Passengers who had witnessed the
fight refused to give the names of the
combatants, saying that they had both
behaved splendidly, and that to divulge
their names would not be fair.

Little Money Needed to

This Splendid Company

For years this company has been
working for ore - now 1t is work

mines hundreds of tons of gold-silver
lead ores are already in sight. A re-

be deducted $36, cost Of working, MAX
ing a total net profit of $450.31 on 4S,-
449 pounds of ore. With the INSTALL
ment of new labor-saving machinery
cost of production will be considerably
reduced, hence profits will be increased.
The company owns every inch of the
property 1t is operating on-its title
Is free and clear. 1t does not owe any
one a single cent piece. There are
no rocks ahead-all plain sailing.
The man who puts his money into
this proposition is not speculating-fa
from it. He is investing in certainty
--one that will pay dividends at the
start. $4,000 has already been spent
in improvements-if you invest now
you get the benefit of this expendi-
ture. All the experimental work has
passed. All risk is over. The COM
pany has worked the property UP to
the point where success is certain. Your
money is needed for expansion, for
transporting the ore already mined and
for buying necessary new equipment.
At the price this stock is being offered
-35 cents a share, it takes very little
money to secure an interest which will
