Salmon Perez, of Metcalf, who was
at the Shannon hospital suffering
with pneumonia, while in a fit of de-
lerium, made his escape at
about 7:3O p. M, by jumping through
the upper sash of the window of his
room. At that particular instant the
nurse was at the telephone, but the
alarm was soon given, and the
Cnlnese cook overlook him near the
oank OF the river. Three young men
happened along about that time, and
assisted in attempting to return
the man to the hospital. He
went along quietly for some dis
lance, but again becoming violent.
shook off the men and dashed into
and across the river. The officers
were telephoned for and soon made
their appearance, and spent some
time in searching for the unfortunate
man. A. A. Anderson, of the Becker
Franz company, happened along at
that time, and being on horseback, he
searched the entire section to the
Ward place, but without finding a
trace of the missing man. DIR. Fales
was also soon in the 3 die, and with
others visited the settlements on
Shannon Heights, but was not sue
cessful in locating the man, and after
several hours the search was given
up. AS Perez had nothing on but his
night clothes, it was foregOne con-
clusion that he could not live through
the night, but he fooled them, for in
the morning he was found in a bed in
a tent on Shannon Heights, and ap-
parently no worse for his experience
of the previous night, but still "bug
house." After crossing the river at
the ford he must have wandered down
the river and crossed it again near
the pump station, and then made his
way up onto the hill. Possibly the
ice water which he waded through,
together with the chilly atmosphere,
subdued his fever until he was
rational enough to realize his condi-
ton, hence he entered the tent and
crawled into bed. He is now doing
well, and the chances for his recov-
cry are most favorable.

CHANGE IN SHANNON PRESIDENCY

CHANGE IN SHANNON PRESIDENCY.
Information was received in Cliff
ton this week of the resignation of
George G. Gill as president of the
Shannon Copper company. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Gill resigned
once before, but his resignation was
not accepted, and he was afterwards
reelected as president of the company,
but it is not now probable that he
could be induced to longer remain as
president even though it were agree
able to all the directors for him to
do so. For some time past there has
been a continual fight on Mr.. Gill as
president, and his position has not
been pleasant, to say the least. Only
two charges of any consequence were
made against Mr.. Gill in his official
capacity. One was that the output
of the Shannon was being sold at the
quotations of the Engineering and
Mining Journal, which is the basis
for all smelter settlements. 1t was
claimed by those fighting Mr.. Gill
that the figures given by the Journal
were less than the actual market
price of copper. The settlements
were made on the average price for
the calendar month, which was fair
insofar as that was concerned, but it
has often been claimed that the
Journal did not quote the market
correctly. In defence the Journal
has always claimed that it was al
most impossible to get the exact fig
ures of the market, for the reason
that the buyers, who were sometimes
compelled to bid high for copper, al
ways kept the high figures covered.
They were not interested in booming
the copper market, and doubtless
were able in many instances to make
the sales appear for less than what
they really were. The other charge
against Mr.. Gill was that the con-
tract for the sale of the copper was
made with Mr.. Hochshields, presi-
dent of the metal selling company,
that handled the Shannon output
and also a director in the Shannon
company. 1t was claimed that other
selling companies would not bid
agaisnt Mr.. Hochshields for the
Shannon output for the reason that
he was director in the Shannon com
pany. MIR. Gill and also other di.
rectors of the Shannon company who

tract, claimed that it was a goot

A representative of the ERA, Sum
day last, in company with A. S. Rose
Grams, superintendent of the Stand
ard mines, and H. B. Burke, visited
Ambrose Burke's camp on the west
side of the Coronado mountains,
where they were Hospitality enter
tanned, and given dinner which
would haye done credit to any hotel
in the territory. Mr.. Burke, like
most prospectors, has the "copper"
eye" but he is also looking out for
the main chance, and has some gold
leads located which, were they in al
most any other district, would at
tract much attention from mining
men. At the present time he is de-
veloping copper property, which is
making a splendid showing. In that
section there is a country about four
miles square which is all mineralized
and contains a net work of veins and
Groupings. The entire country is To-
Gated, yet but little development
work of permanent nature has
been done. Recently, however, sew
eral options have been taken on
property in that section, and much
work will soon be in progress.

Mrs. Edward Garfield was cruelty
murdered in Los Angeles recently
by crazy coachman who imagined
that she owed him a large sum of
money. Mr.. Garfield, who is one of

interests there when the murder was
committed. Ed. Garfield made his

Wood Poland, manager of the Ari-
IONA Gold mining company, was in
town yesterday, and reports that the
tunnel, which is now in three hundred
feet, is all in ore, which, by careful
panning, it is estimated will go about
$50 per ton in gold. The tunnel now
lacks sixty-five feet of being under a
point on the surface where the lead
is much wider and also of consider
ably higher value. Mr.. Poland is
very much encouraged over the out
look of the property, and believes
that within a few months the COM
pany will be on Easy street. This
work is being done on one of the
main gold leads up the Frisco river,
from which many rich specimens
have been taken from surface work
ings. The company is composed of
twelve people, and not having offered
stock to the public it is practically a
close corporation, the original stock
holders taking up the shares as the
money is needed for development pur-
poses. The property is paid for and
the company is out of debt.

There has been no protest against
the Engineering & Mining Journal
basis for the price of copper in De-
cember, as there was in previous
months, and those companies selling
through the American Metal COM
pany will settle on that basis as of
old. These prices for December were
1928 cents for electrolytic and
1898 for lake, and every pound sold
by the Old Dominion, Shannon,
United Copper, Baltic, Champion and
CRANKY during December was settled
for on this basis. The November
settling price was 1889, which was
fully one-half cent per pound under
the price the selling agents obtained
for copper during that month, and
the fairness of the figures was seri-
ously questioned. The Engineering
& Mining Journal figures the average
for 1905 at 1880 for electrolytic and
1859 for lake as compared with
II 1923 for electrolytic and 1880 for
lake in 1904.

contract for the company, but that
they could not make it public, for
the reason that it would bring trou-
BILE to the selling company from other
companies that perhaps did not have
as favorable contract. If in fact
it was good contract for the Shan
non company then the shareholders
had nothing to complain of, but on
the other hand if it was not good
contract, as some of them contend,
then of course it would have an en-
tirely different aspect. However, it
has been known for some time past
that Mr.. Gill would soon resign from
the presidency, as the position was
not only annoying, but took much of
his time from his private business.
Mr.. Gill had been president of the
Shannon company for nearly three
and a half years. He took the Office
when the affairs of the company were
in very bad condition, and the sue
cess of the company since then has
been largely due to his executive
ability and splendid business talent.
He gave the company's business the
closest possible attention. While
his management was not satisfactory
to all parties interested, it was on
the whole as satisfactory to share
holders as are those of most presi-
dents. By next week the ERA will
doubtless have further information
in regard to the cause of the resigna-
ton.
w. J. Palmer, who was elected
president, has been with the COM
pany since its organization, as chief
book-keeper, and is familiar with all
the details of the company's business.
He has the confidence of all share
holders, and is withal a competent
business man.
