DIVING FOR DEAD SEA SALT
Work That Is Probably as Ancient as the Human Race
 Itself.

The awful desolation of the Dead sea, which lies nearly 1900 feet below the level of the Mediterranean, is broken here and there by the salt divers. whose work is probably as ancient as the hu- man race itself
 From remotest antiquity, says the Technical World Magazine, the salt of the Dead sea has been collected and brought to the Jerusalem market, where it is used for curing hides and for domes- tic purposes. Dead sea water contains over 25 per cent of solid substances. of which seven per cent Is chloride of sodium, or common salt.
 The Dead sea contains no living eres- ture. Sea fish put into It's waters speed- fly die. Not a single boat navigates It's strange waters. nor Is there any sign of life. save the isolated parties of salt divers. who scrzpe and slowly ~amass their glistening heaps of crystal near the mouth of the Jordan.
 When a sufficient cargo Is made ready A long string of camels crosses the desert. and the salt is loaded up Into panniers. or "-shwerries." and taken into Jerusalem. where it finds s ready market
 Salt. as is veil known. has been used as currency iron time imnemorial. just .. bricks Of tea are used to-day in cen ,rsI Asia. especially in the horderisnd of China and Siberia

CHAPTER XIV.

CHAPTER XIV. THE NEWS BROKEN. wHEREUPoN t AN ENGAGEMENT IS BROKEN.
 At seven Percival found Uncle Peter at his hotel, still in abysmal depths Of woe. Together they went to break the awful news to the unsuspecting Mrs. Zines and Psyche. #&f% .@
 If you'd only learned something use- ful while you had the chance" began Uncle Peter, dismally, as they were driven to the Hightower, "how to do tricks with cards, or how to sing funny songs, like that little friend of yours from Baltimore you was tellin' me about. Look at him, now. He didn't have anything but his own abil- ity. He could tell you every time what card you was thinkin' about and do a skirt dance and give comic reel tations and initiate a dog fight out in the back yard, and now he's married to one of the richest ladies in New York. Why couldn't you "a been learn In some of them clever things, so you could "a married some good-hearted woman with lots of money-but no" Uncle Peters tones were bitter to ex- cess-"you was rich mans son and raised in idleness-and now, when the rainy days come, you can't even take . white rabbit out of stove-pipe hatl"
 To these senile maunderings Perc val paid no attention. When they came into the crowd and lights of the H gn- tower, he sent the old man up alone.
 You go. please, and break 1t to them, Uncle Peter. Id rather not be there just at first. I'll come along in rs little bit." uJ 1Euu5
 So Uncle Peter went, protesting that he was a broken old man and cum berer of Goa green earth.
 Mrs. Zines and Psyche had that mo- ment sat down to dinner. Uncle re- ter's manner at once alarmed them.
 Its all over," he said, sinking into . chair.
 Why, what's the matter, Uncle Peter?"
 "Percival has"
 Mrs. Zines arose quickly, trembling. s''There-I just knew tits alkover? Ines been struck by one of those ter rible utomobiles-Oh, take me to where he isl"
 He ain't been run over-he's gone broke-lost all our money; every last cent"
 "He hasn't been run over and killed?"
 Hes ruined us, tell you, Marthy Host every cent of our money in Wall street."
 Hasn't he been hurt at all?-noi even his leg broke or big gash in his head and knocked senseless?"
 That boy never had-any. sense.s. tell you he's lost all our money"
 And he ain't bit hurt-nothing tht matter with him?"
 "Ain't any more hurt than you or ms this minute"
 You're not fooling his mother, Uncl, Peter?"
 T tell you he's alive and we'll, onl, he's lost your money and Pish's ant mine and his own."
 Mrs. Zines breathed long, trem bling sigh ol relief, and sat down t' the table again.
 "Well. no need to scare a body ou of their wits-scaring his mother t' death won't bring his money back, vii 1t? If it's gone It's gone."
 But ma, 1t is awful!" cried Psyche "Listen to what Uncle Peter says

correspondent writing from Can and gives the following description and
 history of Col Kosterlitzky, now sta
 tioped there with his rurales:
 There have been congresses of the
 worlds rough riders. If there is ever.
 Q congress of the worlds rough fight
 CTS, the rurales of Mexico will take
 front rank. And at the head of this
 band of neryy chance takers, who lit
 erally play with life in the wilds of
 the great state of Sonora. will be seen
 Emilio ko5terlitZky, whose name be-
 came famous throughout the United
 States as the man who saved Col. W.
 C. Greene's great copper camp at can anea from the rioting Mexican miners. Kosterlitzky is a citizen of the world who has earned his title to the much worn name of 'sCldier of fortune" Be | fore the Cananea riots he was not
 known beyond the lines of the repub- | lie of Mexico. After the riots the
 name, distinctly not of Mexico. at tracted attention, and then it was that the details of a romantic life. which apparently had reached it's climax, as the head of one of the worlds most
 daring bands of fighters became known to the public of the United States.
 Col. Kosterlitzky is a square-shoul- dered man. tall and 1.-the. with mus | cleS hardened and steeled by long practice afield. He is feared by the peons and by the lower classes gener- ally more than any one man in the state of Sonora. With eyildoers he ! is absolutely hard and unbending, and
 this fact has made the peons, who l have not learned to discriminate. dread him as they mould an evil spirit. He is one of those self reliant men | of the iron gray type. His dark eyes show steely glint when he is eXamin- | ing a bad man, or has on the carpet some road rider of the mountain pass | es, who has been accused of holding | up a mining train and making way with the treasure. Stories are told ! of Kosterlitzky of mysterious hang ! ings in the mountains, of men who are filed out in front of a dozen rurales and are shot to death by volley fire these are common talk among the low | CT classes. but the stories which be- come folk lore are regarded by most
 as exaggcrations of acts of the leader
 of band of men whose daily deal ingS are with desperate characters and
 who must often resort to desperate
 measures.
 Kosterlitzky is an Austrian by birth
 and is reported to be a younger son of noble family. The romantic career of a soldier appealed to him early, and when scarcely beyond othe drummer boy age he had seen real service.
 From Austria he drifted to France in the days of Napoleon III. Then but a
 mere stripping and not yet having at tained his majority. he became a sol
 dier in the ranks of the man who was to know Sedan.

AT cuMPAS.

The surveying of two lines of iail- roads through Cumpas. leading from Nacozari to Moctezuma has had a stimulating effect on the mining in- dustry of that section, which is re- garded to be one. of the best copper belts south of Naeozari The Cumpas smelter is being operated with good success. turning out from twelve to fifteen tons of matte daily. The Transvaal Mining company, owners of the smelters, have been developing their property for more than three years and have expended vast amount of money in the work, but now feel that they have reached point from which the time and distance is only short to diyidend-paying- The Belen Mining company, twenty-five miles from Cumpas is working large force on their property and are now delivering ore at the Cumpas smelter having made arrangements to have it srlelted there.

Peace and Prosperity Now Reign In Cananea

cans were placed at various points in Cananea where 1t was thought best to have armed forces to guard the re duction works.
 Coming Of kosterIitxky.
 The armed American force had been in Cananea but a few hours when the gladsome news was passed around that Col. kosterlitZky was app oacLing Cananea with his force of rurales, after a forced march of nearly one hundred miles from Magdalena. As this veteran Colonel rode iato the place he was greated with shouts from every hill and house and he at once had the situation in hand
 Immediately the American force was ordered to board the cars which car ried them from Bisbee and soon they were enroute back to American soil after an experience which none will soon forget.
 Talking to the Men. Before the arrival of Col. Roster litzky, however, Gov. Ysabel and Coi. Greene addressed the Mexicans in front of the company store. They occupied an automobile in the street while on the stone platform the Bis bee force was stationed with their rifles ready for any emergency The Governor assured his hearers that the government of Sonora would protect all people in Cananea from any mob violence and advised his hearers to go go to their homes and remain there until perfect order had been restored. The Governor was cheered and the feeling of dread and scare began to pass away.
 Col. Greene again assured his en- ployes of his disposition and willing ness to do all that was in his power He reminded many of them that they had known him for years, when he like they. was poor: he reminded them of his responsibility to those who had i put their money into the great en lterprise at Cananea and thus supplied

 he wired to friends on the American side of the line informing them that the lives of all Americans were in i'm
 minent danger at Cananea and calling for men, arms and ammunition.
 l Stirring Times in Bisbee.
 Walter Douglas. the General Mana ger of the Copper Queen Mining com pany in this city, was the first to be Informed of the uprising at CaIanea and to receive a call from Col. Greene for help. He at once made the facts known in this city, giving it ont as he had received it, that the Amer jeans
 in Cananea were threatened with eX-
 termination and requestingg that all
 who were willing 10 go to Cananea to defend and rescue the Americans
 should report at the general office of
 the Copper Queen.
 The news soon reached every Por.
 tion of the city and quickly the gen
 eral office was surrounded by fully two
 thousand people and names were hand
 ed in as fast as they could be taken by
 clerks until more men had volun- ,teered than it was possible to supply
 with arms. Those who volunteered included representatives of every class
 of Bisbee,s citiZens-miners EIechan-
 ics. merchants, professional men and
 city officials made up the crowd which
 went from Bfsbee to Naco to await
 permission from the authorities of
 Mexico to cross the line.

 Kosterlitzky was again seized with desire to move on, and he saw the end, the very end, of the golden dream of empire which Maximillian was to see shattered. From Mexico he came for a time to the United States, and there is authority for the story that at Fort Huachuca in southern Arizona he saw service as a noncommissioned of ficer in the army of Uncle Sam.
 But Mexico offered better chances TOT the soldier of fortune, and he turn ed to that republic, entered the regu- lar army and. letting his aiiesiaoce to France go, he became a soldier tfr. der the republic which succeeded an empire. In the regular army of NIX. leo he attained the rank of lieutenant. colonel, and was afterward placed in charge of the command of rurales in i Sonora.
Bisbee daily review., 1906-07-22

The fact that there is now no sign of the disturbance which occurred in Cananea during the first few days of last month, remaining in the camp is perhaps more gratifying in Bisbee than anywhere else outside of Cananea. The fact that condition which at one time threatened heavy cost of lives and great destruction of property was quickly changed to con dition of perfect order and peace is cause for rejoicing at Cananea and al so in Bisbee. where there are many friends and relatives of hundreds of the employees at the big Mexican Cop per camp. Parties coming from Can anea declare that Cananea was never in a better condition than now, so far as industrial conditions are con cerned. The real instigators of the trouble It Cananea where there was a general uprising of Mexicans in de- mand for increased wages. resulting in the death of several Americans and number of Mexicans. have left for their own and Cananea's good. Col. Greene is authority fer the statement that these trouble-breeders were mem bers of the Western Federation of Miners, who worked on the Mexicans and made them believe that it was within their power to name their own wage scale.
 Trying Times Remembered.
 While the trouble is now all past and gone there is remaining vivid memory ofNthe stirring scenes at Can anea on the second and third of June. After the killing of George Metcalf and his nephew at the lumber yard, which was afterwards burned by the mob, the general expectation was that wholesale slaughter of the Americans in the camp would follow. The Mexicans composing the mob seemed to. be frenzied with excitement and made bold threats against all Ameri' cans. .-.-
 Greene Saved the Camp.
 It is believed by all who have learn ed of the conditions at Cananea dur ing the early part of the trouble that had not Col. Greene been present in the camp hundreds would have been Killed and the great plant of the Greene Consolidated Mining company would have been destroyed. When the news of the killing of Metcalfe reached Col Greene. who was at his home. he called to his side a dozen men who were armed and upon whom he could rely. and with Winchester in his hand, he jumped into his auto mobile and ordered his chaffeur tc take him down the main street of the town to meet the mob. Here was an exhibition of courage which has perhaps never been duplicated in any former labor trouble in any country we are accustomed to hear only oi police. deputy sheriffs. n,alitia and soi dlers facing mobs In riots incident tc
