Preparing Revised Schedule.

Engineers on the Oregon Short
Line and the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific railroads in the
district controlled by the Salt Lake
general Offices of the Hartman lines
are preparing new wage scale TO
be presentrd to the railroads in the
near future. The principal feature
of the demands of the men will be
the reduction to eight hours. Al.
though they will work the same
number of hours while the runs are
arranged as they are now, the men
will ask that their pay be raised sc
as to make It the same for eighty
miles as for one hundred miles un
der present conditions.
Practically all of the western rail
roads are known to be against The
eight-hour propositions and it is no
believed that the Oregon Short Lin,
will grant the demands without pro
test.
The Short Line officials are nov
working on plans to equalize thei
runs, but it may be more than on,
year before the division point il
changed. Suitable water supply i
the greatest difficulty encounteret
so far in planning for equalizing tn
runs.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Jake Nelson Run Over by Loaded
Wagon-Left Arm and Both
Legs Broken.

Jake Nelson, who was driving
team for "Siim" Oakley, met with a
serious accident yesterday afternoon
at the phosphate mine, east of town.
He had loaded the wagon and drove
the team out from under the chute
and went back TO get the time card
which is given each man when he
leaves the mine with a load. The
team started while he was away
from them. He hollered whoa sew
eral times, but as the road at that
point starts down quite steep in>
cline, it was hard for them to hold
back load of 81 or tons and they
did not stop. Mr.. Nelson made q
run for the wagon on the up. hill
side and when he reached for the
lines, which were wrapped around
the brake staff, he slipped and fell
beneath the wagon and one hind
wheel ran over him in such manner
as to break both legs and his left
arm. His right leg was broken a
short distance below the thigh and
the left one just above the knee. His
arm was broken above the elbow
and the bones are badly crushed.
He was also bruised some about the
head. The injured man was quickly
conveyed to town in another wagon
and Drs. King and Poynter gave
him the best surgical attention pos.
sible. The injuries are of very
serious nature and the doctors think
that his arm will probably have to
be amputated. This morning he
was resting as easily as could be ex-
pected.
The team ran down the incline
but instead Of keeping the road,
turned up side hill where the
wagon upset and the team stopped.
The horses were not injured and
only slight damage was done to the
wagon.

WHAT will happen when fresh bay
ers with long national purses enter
into the bidding? Try to form an
estimate Of what may be expected
of Asia's eight or nine hundred
million people who now seem to be
awakening almost in a moment
from manual labor TO electricity!
1.-THE outlook, " says Mr.. Horace
j. Stevens (author of the Copper
Hand Book) constitutes a serious
problem. Given a continuance of
present conditions for the next quar-
ter century, it becomes serious
question as to where the copper to
supply the legitimate demands of
the world, is to come from. Main
tanning the rate of increase held for
the past decade, the worlds copper
requirements for 1910 will be l, ,06O,-
900 long tons, for 1920, 2.290, 900
tons, and for 1880 there will be
needed the staggering total of A.
$50, 900 tons. TO carry the compu-
tation ahead for another quarter of
century would give figures thar
the present generation would tind
impossible"
The problem may be insoluble,
but the outcome is remarkably clear.
Prices will bound up with stipend
GUS speed. Copper mines will in
crease enormously in value. and
hoiders of copper stocks based on
thosemines viii be swept forward
to stupendous fortunes. Tie con-
clusion is irresistible"

Hon. A. J. Doran was a Kingman visitor this week. After going over to Chloride to look after mining mat ters he returned to Kingman Tuesday and returned to Prescott Wednesday evening. Jim Doran is one of the most enthusiastic of the supporters of single statehood for Arizona and was one of the delegation sent to Washing ton last winter to work against the passage of the joint statehood bill. He predicts the defeat of the joint statehood measure by an almost unan- imous vote by the people this fall. He believes that the conventions in all the counties of Arizona should be as non-partisan as possible this fall and that every voter should be gotten out to cast his vote against joint statehood at the forthcoming election. Every effort should be made to make the ma jority so large that it will effectually dispose of future attempts to tie us up with any other. section or territory.

While loading a 9 caliber rifle at his home Thursday last little Leo Mulligan accidently discharged the weapon, the bullet taking effect in the leg of Ray Van Marter, about four inches above the knee. The bullet went entirely through the feshy part of the leg, and while painful is not dangerous. Had it struck the boy a little higher up it would undoubtedly have killed him. This accident ought to teach parents that a small boy and a gun are dangerous things and both ought to be suppressed. There is hardly boy of the age of ten years in Kingman who does not own a small caliber gun and it is simply a miracle that more accidents are not recorded from the indiscriminate shooting done by them. Boys using a gun within the limits of the town are liable to arrest and hereafter officers will take into custody any one caught firing off a gun within the limits of the town.
