.BISbEE MINING MAX HAS NARROW ESCAPE Frank A. Probert Paints While Ascending Ladder in
 Eureka Mine.

Becoming weak from exhaustion and overcome with the fumes of pow der. Frank a Probert, a young mining engineer, nearly fell down the shaft of the Eureka mine in this city, and would have met horrible death had it not been for the quick action of F. F. McClelland, who Is T. l.. Oddte's mining engineer.
 Probert, McClelland, T. L. Oddie and DiamoDdfield Jack Davis had been down into the mine, and were climb ing out. Davis and Oddie went first. and were near the top when Probert, who was heavily laden with samples, became faint from exertion and the ef- feet of powder smoke. He hung onto the ladder, and called to McClelland. who was behind him. McClelland climbed up and supported him, and called 10 Davis, who lowered the buck ct from the top. The now uncon- scious man was put into the bucket and hoisted to the surface, where he quickly recovered in the freak air.
 The shaft on the Eureka is 40 feet deep. and Probert was 100 feet from the bottom when he tainted. The sheer fall would undoubtedly have killed him, and 1t is7 quite likely that he would have knocked McClelland from his perch in the descent, so that the two men had very narrow escapes from death.-Reno tSev) Gazette.

SHANNON COPPER CO.
 ID BUILD RAILROAD President AmSter Visits Clifton After Big Flood and Plans
 Improvements.

Clifton-The Coronado Railroad. which has been out of commission by reason of the floods and washouts for two and one-half weeks, will reopen for traffic tomorrow. when full smelt- ing operations in the Clifton district will be resumed.
 The output of copper from the Cliff ton district for the month of Decem- Der will be reduced 100000 pounds at a minimum. This loss in output was not due so much to the smelters being damaged as to the floods putting the railroad out of business.
 When here last week. President N. l.. Amster of the shannon company an nounced that upon his return to Bos. ton he would arrange for the construc- tion of high-line road from the Shan non smelter to the mines at Metcalf, q distance of about ten miles. at suf- ficient height above flood level to pre- vent any further trouble from this source. It is figured that the business of the shannon company alone would pay a large dividend on the invest ment and such a road would open other mines in that section which can not now get ore to market.
 The New England and Clifton com pany has repaired damage to it's tram way and will soon be shipping fifty tons of ore per day to the shannon shelter.
 While in Clifton President Amster also announced that in all probability the Shannon company would immedi- ately lay of a townsite at shannon point which would afford safety for the residents of Clifton in case of fu- ture floods, as the Shannon location is 2O0 feet above the river and situated on a big mesa. If this is done, it is quite probable that this will become the residential section of Clifton.

COULDN'T STAND FOR THRU" Rock Island Road Abandons Spelling
 Reform.

WATERLOO, Iowa, Dec. 26.-The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail road has decided to abandon the cause of spelling reform
 When the president issued his or ters to the executive departments to adopt the spelling prescribed by the spelling reform commission in list of 300 words, the Rock Island decided to adopt 1t as the spelling to be used in train orders. car reports and other official correspondence, and the em- ployes were instructed to famaliarize themselves with the Rooseyeltian or biography.
 All went well until the railroad or ficials found that under the revised edition of the spelling book the5 would have to designate their fast trains as thru" trains. This caused a revolt. So the simplified spelling order has been rescinded.

 BOSTON, Dec. 26--New York mar ket after early weakness closed strong with the exception of Northern Pacific and Great Neothern. Amalgamated closed at top prices. The Boston cop pers were somewhat dull throughout the session, Greene being the feature. North Butte advanced easily on small buying orders. We do not look for 6 real active market until after New Year, when we think activity will be confined to the better clase of cop pers. We are advised that money will be easier. but wouldn't become too aggressive until 1t is an assured fact. Buy Shannon, Greene, Copper Range and North Butte.

THE STOCK MARKET.

 NEW YORK. Dec. 26.-The weak ness in the Hill stocks was cause for weakness shortly after the opening. Money was a little easier, and aggres- sive buying and covering of shorts caused the strength displayed at the close Reading, Anal. and Union Pa cific were leaders in the rally. We think the market will continue to i'm prove tomorrow, and would buy on any reactions. as we firmly believe the big money is on the long side of the market Activity in the general list will come with permanent ease in the money market. which should come ar ter the January disbursements.

 Dec. 26, 1906.-The bluk of interest in trading today has been in Greene. Advance of one point over Mondays close sas been made, and the tone is such as to indicate even more strength on the morrow. Other features in the copper share market today were Cal. & Ariz., N. Butte. Sup. & Pitts. and Denn. Strong buying was the order in each of these. Denn is in strong demand, and sales were made as high as $3S.50 this morning. With the coming of the New Year and the briskness in stocks that win be very noticeable soon after that date We look for the most important advances to be made by s. & F.. Lem. Warren and American GTeene-Cananea will also be a very lively stock, and one that will show great improvement. Shares should be picked up around present figures. Demand for Warren sprung up of a sudden this morning, and the bid price went as high as s13, at which figure stock is being offered at the close. TGo weeks hence will see the price much chang ed for the better. This will also be true of American. On account of the present being the holiday week we do net look for very material changes.

Pruning Tomatoes.

Men and women who grow a few
fine tomatoes in their own gardens for
their own use have long practiced
more or less pruning of the vines
Pruning is also practiced systematical
ly when tomatoes are grown in hot
houses. As a rule the field culture of
tomatoes is not sufficiently remunera-
fessOr Munson found that pruning the
plants after a part of the fruit had set
increased the yield more than one third
This was under conditions of field oul-

market is good an increase of one third
in the crop would pay for the work of
pruning. -Country Gentleman.
