 ing man, was in Tembstone yesterday
 from the camp of that name. He re.
 ports that camp as being quite lively and more men st work at the present
 time than for number of years. The Shsnnen people, who have . bond on the Copper Belle property, are taking out considerable ore and are making regular shipments, but there is . short age of teams.

A Tragic Death at
 The Big Shaft

The big shaft of the Tombstone Consolidated Mining company was the | scsne of . sad accident yesterday that | caused the death of Albert Bloom quist. . miner ia the employ of the company. The deceased was working on the iOO-foot leve of the mine and got on the cage on top of;a loaded car and started for the surface. The cage was at the 100 fost level, and Patsy Holland was st the station intending to get on, but Bloomquist, not know- ing this, gave the signal to hoist, thus . sscond fatality was miracu- lously averted. The fAted cage shot up at . lively rate, and from some cause was not stopped at the surface, but the cage with its human cargo was landed with . terrible fierce into the sh,ve-wheel and the lsfe of Bloom quiss ruthlessly crushed out. It is doubtful if he ever know what struck him, as his body was badly crushed, most of the bones being broken. His neck, back and legs were broken be- | sides number of ribs. The force of the terrible impact was so strong that his body was half buried in the car ei ore. The cage, Esllows and the shive- wheel were 90 badly damaged that il was with difficulty that the cags wal finally released and lowered to the chairs on the surface.
 Engineer James Walker, who wal on shift at the time, was greatly over- come ou account of the accident, ana realized as the cage came out of th' shaft that he was unable to stop i
 in time to prevent the accident tha
 was bound to cause the death of hi
 fellow workman.
 The deceased WAS . man 43 years c
 age and leaves . wife and two childrei
 to mourn the loss of loving husban' l and kind father.
 Mrs. Bloomquist was greatly over
 come when the news of the acciden
 was brought to her, and it was though
 for time that she would not surviv the shock. Bloomquist was . man (
 steady habits and hsd made man friends since he came to this city nearly . year since..
 The solemn funeral services we!
 held this afternoon from the Episco
 pal church, Rev. Carroll oficistinl
 and were attended by . large numbe : of friends and scqusintances of tn decsased. The miners employed [ the big shaft attended in . body, th . mine being closed dewn this aftel } noon % ss to allsw the fellow vori ] men to pay their last tribute of r' spect to enc whose life was sacrifice , to the dangers and impending peri that continually beset the hardy mine
 The tragic accident has caused
 deep gloom to be cast over tho con
 munity.
 A coroner's jury was summoned an
 will investigate the case tomorrow.

Al DsVal'ls Bluff. II miles west OF

a fine 81 900 depot for that enterpris-
Ing little town Of 900 population.

inadequate for twenty years past.

inhabitants for which 1t was built but
NOW, there's new Brinkley; the whole
town has caught the spirit and in re-
atty II is the place Of the railroads to
get In the front ranks and lead in this
big push and pull that's going on now
for Brinkley's advancement.
The railroads have business here
sufficient TO justify real nice Union
Station one that will reflect honor and
credit on our city and that's the only
kind we want.
The one thing necessary is for the city
TO get together and ''go after" this Union
