A SHOWER OF BOOKS
The Public Library Receives About 1BO
More volums From Citizens

The Public Library Receives About 1BO
More Volums From Citizens
The "book shower" which the enter
prising ladies of Hot Springs planned
at the Evans Wednesday evening
proved success. There was a good
attendance and about $50 books we're
brought and presented to the associa.
tion. This makes total of nearly
1900 volumes for the library. Mr..
Juckett, who is president of the as
sociation, told of what had been ac-
complished and what they still de-
sired-they want still more members,
there being few citizens who have
not yet joined; they want permanent
location, and want every resident to
become an active pushing force for the
library.
Mayor Hargens was called upon and
he also complimented the women
upon what they had accomplished and
urged greater interest upon the part
of citizens generally-for the good of
the town, its citizens, for the interest
of the visitors, and for the lasting
benefit of the young people He pro-
missed as mayor to do all he could to
help the library along.
Prof. Shouse also spoke encourag-
ingly for the movement and thought
it good idea to have plenty of books
for the younger people, to encourage
demand for books, and the interest
in the library would grow
| There was singing, music and some
amusing games, SO that the evening
was pleasantly passed, and was deci-
ded success for the library.
1t is hoped that until the association
is financially able to rent a room on
the ground floor, centrally locate d,
the council room at the city hall
may be secured and fitted up for the
library and public reading room.
1t is a good-sized room and can
be made very pleasant. Un-
doubtedly the council will gladly
donate the use of this room, for it
would be kept open all the time, and
the council could meet there just the
same. In fact it would be an excellent
meeting place for different clubs and
gatherings.

Re-Districted the CITY.

At the meeting of the city council
Tuesday night an ordinance was pass
ed changing the wards SO that River
Avenue is the dividing line between
the First and Third Wards and Mime
kahta Avenue divides the Second and
Third wards. This throws the Soldiers
Home into the Third ward and the
Evans Hotel, Minnekahta block. and
the business places along the street to
the north, into the First ward. This
squares up the wards and equalizes
them more nearly according to the
votes.

A COAL FAMINE.
Tho Situation Getting Most Unpleasant and
Uncomfortable

Tho Situation Getting Most UNPLEASANT and
Uncomfortable.
Ever since cool weather set in our
local coal dealers have had great diff
Guilty in getting sufficient coal to supply
the demand. The situation has been
gradually getting worse until now the
cold fact stares everybody in the face
that the town is ont of coal, and has
been for q week. Dealers have been
looking after their customers as best
they could by dividing up, borrowing,
and otherwise keeping people from
getting mentally hot and physically
cold. They have received shipping
bills for many cars of coal, but they
do not get the article During the
month it is said 81 cars we're billed for
Hot Springs and only three have
reached here, the others doubtless
being contiscated somewhere along the
line. At this writing, Thursday, the
BE- M. Superintendent informs Agent
Baldwin that there is only twelve
hours supply of coal for the whole
division, and they must keep their
engines moving somehow. This will
certainly mean more confiscation, and
this town, and probably others are
nearing the bottom of the bin. The
coal mining companies declare that
they are doing their duty, and the
railroads declare that the mines don't
supply them the coal they have con-
tracted for, and there you have it.
Between the mines and the railroads
the people are being kept out of coal
just the same and should severe cold
weather set in there would be suffering
With the Soldiers Home out, and burn
ing old rubbish and anything combust-
able; the public school only enough to
last a few days; the stucco mill stopped
for want of fuel, and families entirely
out and with stoves that will not burn
anything but coal, the situation is
really becoming serious.
Mayor Hargens has taken up the
matter with the railroad-the Burling.
ton supplying most of the coal from
the west-and sent the following mess
age to the division superintedene at
Alliance Wednesday,:
"Our people are suffering for want
of coal. 1t is reported that your COM
pany appropriates coal destined for
this point for domestic USE Can't
you do something to relieve the sitna-
tion? C. W. HARGENs, Mayor"

soon be changed, and that there may
be cause for thanksgiving before long

STAGE TRAVELERS
 HAD CLOSE GALL
What Threatened to be a Serious
 Accident at Roosevelt.

Roosevelt, Ariz., 9an. 51.-(Special correspondence of The Republican,)- For the third time within as many months the Mesa-Roosevelt stage, on last Monday night met with an acci- dent which might have been appalling in the number of killed had it not been for the quick -wittedness of the driver at the time of the catastrophe. As i. was every one of the six passengers in the stage came out of the melee with only bruises and scratches, while the most serious hurt sustained by any one was a broken arm. About five o'clock in the evening, their usual driv- ing time, the stage with four men, a woman and two children, started down the steep road just below the cement mill to the town of Roosevelt. All went well until the stage had crossed the bridge over the power canal when suddenly the off wheel horse, which was new to his work and which. had been giving the driver more or less trouble all the afternoon, shied. This disturbed the other horses in the team and the driver, realizing the precariou5 position that he was in, tried his best to quiet the team, but the more he tried the more frightened the horses became and he saw in a minute that they were beyond his control.
 At the end of the long incline the road takes a sharp turn to the left and just where it turns the bank drops off several feet. Phelps, the driver. real ized that if he let the now frantic team get to the bottom he could never in the world save his load of passengers from going down the steep embank- ment to probable death. Calling to the two men sitting on the seat be- side him to keep hold the horses, he threw his whole weight on the brake in a vain attempt to check their speed, but it was of no avail and he took his last chance-turned his team into the bank.
 For an instant the stage stopped, but

PROMISING
 NEARBY MINES
Awaiting the Stimulus of
 Local Interest
Mining News of Other COunties.-The Usual Long List of New Strikes Re- ported During the Work.

A Phoenix business man has ad- dressed the following letter to The Republican. It is worthy of reproduc- tion, not alone for its facts concerning the particular mining property men toned but for the lesson it inculcates
 in respect of all the nearby mining prospects in this county. It is admit ted that M[aricopa is not one of the big mining counties of the territory at this time and the center of it Is devoted to other industries, but its outlying districts in every direction are mineral ground. There is no doubt that some day there will be other mines in the county as famous as the old Vulture and perhaps many of them. The soon
 CT Phoenix people take a greater in- l terest in mines the sooner will this be demonstrated. The Phoenix man un- der date of yesterday, says:
 Editor of The Republican:
 Sir-The writer had occasion to take a trip on the south side recently and
 made it convenient to take dinner at
 the Tom Boyle mine. MT. Fisher and his help had just uncovered a five-foOt
 vein in one of the stopes only fifteen
 feet below grass roots. Mir. Fisher | showed the writer several prospects he | had recently opened along the side of
 the mountain, showing veins of from 1 three to five feet. His tunnel is open | ing up into what seems to be a large l body of ore. The wonder is that PhOe- 1 nix people cannot stop knocking our
 back-door mining property long enough
 for each man to devote two or three hours to driving over to these nearby
 hills and seeing things for himself. | The Doc Wilson is another property
 that is showing up we'll. These nearby
 mines are all well worth looking after.
 If we can do nothing financially to-
 ward helping to open them up let us give them our moral support or do l anything else we can to encourage | those who will take hold.

THE MARK TWAIN.
Eastern Men Acquire Large Interest
 in That Excellent Property.

One of the biggest mining deals re- corded in Yavapai county for some time took place a few days ago when the St. Anthony Mining and Milling company acquired title to the Mark Twain and Eighty-Six mines in the Walker district, says the Journal Miner. The mines were the property of F. M. Murphy and Mrs. Kuhne, and are known to have produced some very rich ore some years ago when worked near the surface by Frank Kuhne, one of the original locators.
 The deal was promoted by n. T. Whelan of South Bend, Indiana, and the property was examined and favor ably reported on for the new com pany by William McEniry, a pron1i- nent attorney of Rock Island, H., an ex-congressman from his district, and

in flash it stood nearly on end and then crashed on its side.
 The noise of the fall was terrific and the cries of those pinned under the stage quickly brought willing helpers from all directions. In the meantime -the-leat}-l9urses-fI 5roKen loose and as soon as the first rescuers had ar rived on the scene the remaining two were cut free. Those who were inside the stage were easily taken out of the wreckage but Swensen and Schaeffer, who had been riding on the seat, were held firmly under the body of the stage and both showed signs of great distress. They were pulled out when
 the stage had been slightly raised, but it was some time before the doctor who examined them was sure that they
 were not suffering from internal in juries.
 George E. Futile of Phoenix was the hero of the occasion. He realized the danger the moment the horses broke
 from under control and he picked up
 the smaller of the two children in his arms. When the crash came he fell on the under side of the load of pas | sengers and consequently was the
 worst hurt of any. His left forearm | was shattered and broken, but the child
 which he held came out unhurt. Mrs Holdren of Tempe and the older child
 were very fortunate in receiving only | a few body scratches and a severe
 shaking up. The driver, Phelps, was hurled about thirty feet through the
 air before he landed. When he did land, however, he was right side up
 and was the first one to give aid to his | injured passengers. None too much can be said in praise of his efficient
 work, and the fault of the accident Is 1 in no way chargeable to carelessness
 on his part. He did all in his power t1 prevent it and when he saw that he
 could not escape the inevitable he did the most sensible thing possible by
 turning his stage into the bank. Most of those who were injured were hurriedly taken to the emergency hos pital, where their injuries were treated
 Later in the evening the hospital was
 reached by telephone and the doctors reported every one well, MT Futile being the only one whose injuries had been at all of a serious nature. Tesanto Flores, the Mexican who was
 arrested some time ago for illegally having liquor in his possession, pleaded guilty in Justice Evans court last
 week and was committed for a term
 of four months at the county bastile in | Globe.
 pr. s. B. Claypool, one of Roosevelt
 most popular and influential citizens | left last week for Globe, where he has been summoned to take up the ardu-
 ous duties of county physician of Gila | county.
 | $. B. Taggart returned from Los An geles and coast points Monday night He was a passenger on the ill-fated stage but was fortunate in having left
 the stage just before the accident oc- ! cured.
 | Edgar Hendrix, who for seven
 months past has been connected with
 the government work here, left for his home in Tempe last Tuesday.

Q mining man of experience and note.
 The property. which has been de- veloped to a depth of 1SO feet within the past year, is known to be one of the most valuable in the rich district in which it is situated. From the bot tom of the shaft at this depth cross cut has been run with the intention of tapping a dike which parallels the vein, and in this crosscut a body of ore four feet in thickness was encoun- tered recently, the extent of which is of a very high grade. The crosscut is now in a distance of eighty feet and the wall has not yet been struck. A fifty horse power boiler. a large hoist and Cameron pump will be placed at this shaft this week, and arrange ments are under way to commence work there on a large scale to open up the property by sinking to a great depth and running laterals from the stations cut while sinking is in progress.
 The personnel of this company IS composed of some of the most promi- nent business men and financiers of the states of Iowa and Illinois and the company is a close corporation, there being no stock for sale or on the mar ket.
 Thos F. HaIligan, the president. is a member of the Washburn- Halligan Wholesale Coffee company of Daven- port, Iowa, one of the strongest busi- ness institutions of that state.
 c. J. Larkin is a wealthy building contractor of Rock Island, H., who has a high standing in the financial world. Frank J. Lewis, also of Rock Island, is president of the Lewis Roof ing company, the largest roofing con- cern in the United States, which even owns it's own railroad cars for the transportation of it's wares. J. T Shields is the proprietor of one of the largest wholesale grocery establish ments in Rock Island, H., and a prom inent financier of that city P T Walsh is president of the Walsh Con- struction company, which has prob- ably constructed more railroad lines than any similar concern in the Unit ed States, among number of others the Belt line of St. Louis E. J. Som- mers is a large clothing and dry goods dealer of Moline, H., and considered to be one of the most enterprising mer of that city.
 A. w. Edwards, the only local capi- talist who is interested in the com pany, is well known here as the busi- ness associate of F. M. Murphy, and one of the most conservative ana shrewdest men that we have in a busi- ness way.
 M. J. Whelan, who will be the gen. eral manager at the mines. is known to be among the best mining engin- eers conducting mining operations iT i this section. He knows the property ! thoroughly and will develop it wei and. on business principles. The mines which are but a short distance from the mouth of the Poland tunnel, are favorably situated as far as the trans pOrtation problem is concerned. Ths mountains are fairly well timbered 1T the immediate vicinity, which insures an ample supply of fuel, while water sufficient for all purposes will bt developed in the mines as depth i. reached.

THE STRIKES OF A WEEK.
A Few of Those Reported From PinaI
 County.

The following items are from the Florence Blade:
 Recorder Devine, Nicholas Aven- ente and others have located a lot of gold and copper bearing veins on the west side of the Picacho range twenty miles south of Florence.
 Prof. Henry Lempker has made a very valuable ore discovery on one of his claims about 500 feet southeast of the old Silver King mine. He cross cut a low grade vein, thirty feet and opened on the foot wall a high grade pay streak for a distance of thirty feet and was in shipping ore all the way.
 A prospectOr who came in from the Casa Grande district Tuesday says there is more activity in that rich mineral field at present than has been witnessed there for years past and that bullion and ore shipments from the various operating properties of the district are becoming regular and will be continuous.
 The Arizona-Pacific company has decided to put another S100,00O into its development fund and of this amount $50, 900 has been subscribed and it is confidently expected that the other S2O, 900 will be subscribed inside of a few days. The Indiana people behind this enterprise know no such word as fail"
 J. T. Martin and Louis Elliott, who own the south extension of the Wood becker mine, in the Mineral Hill dis trict, have discovered thereon a four foot vein of high grade copper ore.
 The Dean Bros. & Taylor, who have been running a tunnel on prospect located about one-fourth mile south west of the Fortuna mine. at Silver King, this county. have been rewarded for their industry by striking an ore shoot three feet in width. They drove the tunnel in 235 feet before this ore shoot was reached. Some of the ore runs $50 ounces silver and $10 gold per ton.
 William Mill Williams, who is op- erating the old Gray mine, situated on the summit between here and Kelvin, was in Florence Thursday. He is now working a force of twelve miners and is uncovering bodies of good ore which run high in copper. gold and silver, but he is working under difficulties on ac- count of a strong inflow of water which he is not prepared to handle readily at present. In the main shaft at a depth of no feet the inflow is about 1, 100 gallons in twelve hours and this is more than he can handle success fully with a bucket and windlass. He started several other shafts but struck water in each of them at a depth of fifty feet. All the openings look well and there is now about $3,O0O worth of shipping ore on the several dumps. MT. Williams and his partner are now con- sidering the advisability of installing hoisting machinery and pumps with d view to exploiting the property below water level.
