WHEELER'S CAPTURE
OF A BIGAMlST
Logan Alexander Who Had Roper.
tOire Of Crime.

Logan Alexander wanted for bigamy,
kidnapping and rape. once under arrest
and once making good his escape. has
been arrested by Harry Wheeler. lieu
tenant Of the rangers and is now in
the hands of Sheriff Parks of Graham
county. The arrest was made at
Yuma and is of local interest by reason
of the movements of Alexander in this
vicinity during the course of his career
when evading the officers.
Two years ago Alexander kidnapped
a young girl near FIT. Thomas and in
company with his brother escaped the
vigilance of the county officers. Lieut..
Harry Wheeler was called into requisi-
ton. He took up the trail across
mountains. through canyons and over
the desert until he located his man
near Phoenix.
He went after him in the evening
and found him in the underbrush. fired
a shot over his head to scare him.
but Alexander fed. However. he was
captured next morning and taken to
Solomonville- When the officer was
taking him in . buggy TO Thomas to
have his hearing. Alexander jumped
from the buggy and escaped.
Alexander was dot heard from until
recently when Wheeler got onto the
whereabouts of his man. When Alex
ander was taken near this city two
years ago he made some sport of
Wheeler's shooting at him in the brush
and missing him, which came out in
the newspapers of the territory, and
here was his undoing. Wheeler heard
he was working on the Colorado dam
and went to Yuma last week One
evening he saw his man on the street
and walked up and arrested him.
Alexander declared his name was Nor
ris. but Wheeler had his photograph
which tailed all right. Wheeler re
marked to him. What made you give
the newspapers that story about my
bad shooting al Phoenix the evening
before We took you?"
Alexander replied, "Are you Wheel
er? D-m the Rangers; wish they were
all in HI" Then he acknowledged
the whole business.
Alexander is "a years of age and was
for some time a farm hand in the ella
valley. He claimed to the officers to
be innocent of any wrong doing.

POPULAR ERROS CONCERNING
VOLCANOES.

The eruption of a volcano is an oc-
casion for the reiteration of funda-
mental errors concerning volcanic phe-
nomena
The official dispatches and the most
serious reports say that the crater
'vomits flame" that "black smoke
escapes from the mountain. and that
showers of cinders". are thrown out
by the subterranean fires. There are as
many errors as there are words in
these statements. The fact is-and
savants know it-that there is no com
bustion in volcanic phenomena: there
is no eruption of fire or flames; a vol
cano never discharges either smoke OF
ashes.

HELvETlA DISTRICT.

Word has been received in Tucson
that the richest strike in the history
of the Helvetia district was made on
the 500 foot level of the Helvetia mine
late last week
This strike viii mean an additional
boom for Helvetia, which has been
coming to the front with rapid strides
The smelter at Helvetia which was
shut down for several days last week
was again tlown in on Friday and is
running in excellent shape. The ca
pacity of the smelter is 200 tons daily.
1t is being operated to it's full capacity
and fine matte is being taken out
Larger ore shipments are being made
from the Tip Pop mine in the Helvetia
district Last year the ore shipments
from the Tip Top aggregated much
larger. The Tip Top mine is owned by
Philadelphia parties.-Douglas Dis

THE WELDON CAMP.

Mr.. Ferris s Fitch, manager of the
Weldon mines, in the Quijotoa mining
district, recently made a visit to the
northern Maricopa and Yavapai min
ing districts and found much to inter-
est him, at Wickenburg, Congress Je-
rome. Big Bug, Chapparel and other
big mining camps or districts offer at
fractions in mining not to be found in
the southern counties, Yuma. Pima.
Santa Cruz, Pinal, Cochise. ella and
Graham.
The visit of Mr. Fitch was to inspect
the latest methods introduced in the
northern mining districts. particularly
in regard to crushing ores to fine
ness. 1t is his purpose to add a crush
er in connection with the mill at the
Weldon which will result in perfecting
the methods now in force.
Mr.. Fitch was not prepared at this
time To go into details respecting con-
ditiOns at the Weldon. a free milling
proposition. He said he sympathized
with newspaper men who sought news
of mines in order to tell the world
what was going on around the partic-
ular locality wherein the paper was
published. just as the Star is DESTROYS
of exploiting Pima county mines, these
being nearest and most advantageous
to the city of Tucson. He had been
through the milf himself hence sym
pathy was not out of place. He prom
ised something next time.
Mr.. Fitch will leave for camp this
morning and expects to come to Tue
son again, possibly this month.-The

CALUMET & ARIZONA.

The Calumet & Arizona has complet-
ed the installation of an extensive cleo
trical equipment, the power from which
is distributed to that company's Oliver
and Irish Mag shafts and the Superior
& Pittsburgs Junction and Hoatson
shafts. Later it viii be wired to the
latter company's Cole shaft.
The generator driven by a turbine
engine has a normal capacity of 425
horse power, but the equipment is cap
able of 525 horse power. The generator
is of the threephase. 60-cycle, 22OO-
volt type.
Electricity is now used on surface
for practically all purposes except
hosting, and several small boiler plants
have I'm this way been rendered idle.
Pumping by electricity is also planned.
and work IS now in progress to this
end. 1t is expected that a 6OO-gallon
pump viii be in service in the oliver
shaft within the next three months.
This pump is now under construction
In the Nordberg shops. 1t will be
operated by a 220 horsepower motor
and will work against a 1200-foot head.
Electric haulage is also in contem-
plation, but its details have not yet
been worked out.-BostOn Commercial

Since the blowing in of the smelling
plant of the Arizona Smelling cornpany
at Humboldt has awakened the miners
and prospectors of Yavapai county to
the fact that a market was open at
home for the ores not rich enough to
be mined at a profit when transporta-
ton TO outside shelters was considered.

commenced on a number Of properties

Gently after cleaning out the old IS
foot shaft on the Tuscarora vein, which
trayerses the Tuscumbia ground. a
paystreak of ore over two feet in thick
ness was found in the bottom of the
shaft and drift, sample of which gave
returns of zoe ounces of silver to the
ton, with IS in gold.
Finding after careful investigation
that the water was harder to handle in
the sinking of shaft than in opening
the ground by tunnel, they employed
civil engineer J. j. Fisher to make sur
veys to make connections with the vein
from the old tunnels through which the

they are now making preparations to

The ore is similar to that in the Glib

that the American should make equally

owners rich.
1t is said that Rys0n & Thompson
took out five tons OF the rich ore in
one day. which would represent a
value of $1,000. According to the
terms of the contract they will receive
