BODY IS RECOVERED
Remains of Woman Drowned at Clifton
 Found in Debris

While removing the sand from the railroad yards near the car house Fri. day afternoon last the body of wo. man was found which was afterward recognized as that of Mrs. Josephine Throm, says the Copper Era. The body had been buried in the sand and debris from the night of the Sd until the af ternoon of the 14th, but was easily rec. ognized by many people. Even those who uncovered the body at once rec ognized it as the earthly habitation of the spirit of Mrs. Throm and later it was generally recognzed by all who viewed it.
 It was at once removed to the under taking parlors of c. F. Pascoe, where it was prepared for burial. The funeral occurred from the Catholic church Sat urday afternoon and was largely at tended.
 Justice Neif summoned coroner 's jury, which on Monday returned yer. dict to the effect that deceased came to her death through the breaking of the dam of the Detroit Copper company, which loosened an immense amount of tailings and water upon the flooded districts of Clifton.
 This verdict was not surprise to the people of Clifton, who had apprehended it from the time the body was found. The responsibility of the company in the construction of the dam will now be brought before the next grand jury.
 It is said by those who have visited the dam that it was constructed entirely of tailings, with no retaining wall of any kind. Such dam could not be ex- pected to withstand a flood of any mag nitude

port on the Mex1can Pacific coass. re. pie, the capital of the territory of that name; San Marcos, Rosario ant other mining centers Running between tide. water and the Sierras, this railroad will develop the richest agricultural and mining regions of western Msxco, and afford an outlet through the ports of Mazatlan and Guaymas for the produce of the fields an1rmines.
 About 120 kilometers of this road have been completed and 100 kilom eters are in operation, being the stretch between Guaymas and Cocorit. Track laying is going on rapidly. A steamer is now on the way from Shanghai for Guaymas with five hundred Chinese la borers. Mexico interposes no objection to the importation of contract labor and has no Chinese exclusion laws.
 The laborers now employed in rail. road construction are Mexicans, Yaqui Indians and Chinese, with American bosses and superintendents.
 The ends of the earth appear to have been drawn upon for material for this road. Purchasing Agent Warner, clean cut and remarkably able young railroad man, told me at Tucson that he was hn. porting million ties from Murovsh, Japan, landing them in patches at Guaymas. He could not get satisfactory promises of delivery from American steel rail concerns, so he made contracts at Dusseldorf, Germany; Andrcssan, Scotland, and Bilboa, Spain. Steamers are now on the way from these distant ports, conveying cargoes of heavy steel rails. The culverts of the road are be- ing made from cement imported from Antwerp. The bridges will be construct ed of steel furnished by an American company.
 Naturally the drowsy little port of Guaymas is beginning to sit up and take notice as ships of many flags ap- pear in the harbor, loaded with men and material for the new railroad. Hermo- sillo, too, is awakening since all the official business is transacted there, and mining enterprises of pith and moment are centering there. Alamos, Cocorit, and other functions, promise to become thriving towns.

The Collapse of Dowle.

attempted to materialize in the SUBJ

abandoned his standard and aligned
themselves with the rebels against
his spiritual and secular authority.

as the final accommodation of the

A GUN AND A JUG
Reservation Settler Accidently Killed
Last Saturday Afternoon at
Home of q NeighbOr.

Red Lake Falls Gazette:
Word reached town early Sunday
morning that a man by the name of
Anton Sjoston, had been found dead
at the home of John Kjenickson in
Mayfield township, and Coroner Belair
and County Attorney Germo immedi-
ately started for the scene of the ac-
cident.
Arriving there they found things
about as expected and after brief
investigation Coroner |Belair SUM-
moned a corOner's jury composed of
Messrs. H. c. Jarr, Val Yaeger, M.
Madden, Louis Busee. Ed Miller and
L. w. Bergh and the case was care
fully gone over, the jury finding that
said Sjost0n met his death by the ac-
cidental discharge Of a revolver in his
own hands.
1t seems that Sjoston, whose home
was at Highlanding. had come to the
home of Isaac Dahlen, in Mayfield.
Friday on his way to ST. Hilaire, and
had later borrowed wagon of Dahl
ems neighbor, Kjenickson, to go to st.
Hilaire. He was acquainted with both
Dahlen and Kjenickson and returned
to the latter'S place Friday night to
remain until the following day. The
fellow had a jug of booze he had OBJ
tanned at st. Hilaire and the three
spent the evening visiting and of
course sampled the contents of the jug.
Sometime during the following morn
ing it seems that one of the party
pulled gun to make his dog mind
and threw it on the table after
bluff at the dog, where 1t laid. Some
time later In the day the other two
fellows came to and found Sjoston
sound asleep. They tried to awaken
him and couldn't do it, SO they hur-
ried to st. Hilaire after a doctor think
ing he was only hurt. When the
physician arrived there he announced
that the fellow had been dead for some
hours, and summoned the coroner.
The theory is that being good and
drunk the fellow got to fooling with the
revolver which was accidently dis
charged. the ball striking him over the
left eye and killing him instantly. No
one was to blame, and the affair was
indeed an unfortunate one.

other is making use of the line and
the first two parties cannot hear the
other two. The same principle has
been applied along other lines so that
it is possible for two persons, one at

Possible Representation in the

The great increase in the republican
vote two years ago would make very
large and unwieldly convention this
year If the same basis of apportion-
ment is used as last ysar-consider-
ably over 600-and it will therefore
be advisable to change the apportion-
ment to 100 or 1875. II two delegates

after much discussion as to where
the park shall be located, on which
subject there was. very naturally. a

r. B. Griffith was DESTROYS of sub
shutting for Mr.. Kent's resolution, u
motion calling for the appointment of
a committee to investigate the feasibil-
ity of securing the use of the state
fair grounds, where there is a fence
and grandstand already erected, and to
consult with owners and directors of
the street railway with view to get
ting them to extend their car lines to
the fair grounds and to the cemetery.
Mr.. Grifiths idea was that it would
be much better and cost less, to raise
Q bonus of say $1,000 to $500 as an
inducement to the street railway COM
pany to provide means of transit to
that point. In his suggestion Mr..
Griffith had the backing of number

money, would only provoke dilatory
