Col, Sibiev Here,

: Col F. j. Sibley, president and
general manager of the Copper Creek
Mining company, of Tucson, Arizona,
called on stockholders in the company
in this county last week. Col. Sibley
stated that the affairs of the company
were in a flattering condition. He
had just made deal with Minneapo-
lis parties that assured the company
of ample financial backing to push
the work of developing the ore bodies
and buying additional machinery as
fast as needed. Col. Sibley felt that
the fact that Minneapolis capitalists,
after sending their man out to the
property to examine it, were SO we'll
pleased that they closed a deal amount
ing to over fifty thousand dollars
should be gratifying to stockholders,
being good evidence of the merit of
the property as we'll as the manage
ment.

Injured in Fall from Roof.

Nels r. Orred, the wellknown mer-
chant and postmaster at Spicer, re-
ceived severe injuries as the result OF
a fall last Monday morning. He was
on the roof in the rear of his store
building making some repairs, when
he slipped and was precipitated to the
ground, distance of about twenty
feet. He landed on the sidewalk,
striking with such force as to break
the boards of the walk, but luckily did
not have any bones broken. He
struck the walk with his side, and
that member and the side of his head
were considerably bruised. He was
rendered unconscious for nearly hall
an hour and it was at first feared that
his injuries were of very serious
nature. A physician was summoned,
and at this writing we understand the
patient is resting easy.
