 MATURE EXPLOSION

PHOENIX, Ariz.. March IG.-M A Wilson, prospcctor, 60 years old. who has been working mining property n mile west of Goddard station. was sou,J about o'clock this morning in thc workings of his prospect, his left hand blown oir, his right hand part oir. and large hole in his stomach.
 Al q latc hour last night n rcport reached the sbcrifr's office that the dead body of NJ. A. Wilson had been sound in tunnel in oIc of his mines in tho Black Canyon district, near Goddard station.
 Th" discovery was made by r. l.. Eddy and S. <. Green of Phoenix. who called at his camp as they were passin, thc place in the direction of Phoenix. with inc intention of having Wilson accompany them on the Journey.
 Owing 'o the isolation of the place from telephone communication the de. tails received here were very mcagcr but it was learned that the parties who discovered the body stated they he. lieycd that death was due to pro. mature explosion of blast in the tun. ncl where he was at work.
 Under sheriff w. NJ. Ncagle will leave 'hls morning on the Crown King train for tho place, and m inquest will bc held this afternoon and the body pre-. pared for intcrmcnt. II is supposed that Wilson was dead at least two days before being found.

Sales Of Spot Copper Easily Made At
 26 1-2 Cents
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

! Copper is holding it's recent gam and
 indications point to n still further ad. v1ncc. There is no lake or electro.
 lyiic for sale below 2jis to % cents
 per pound for delivery any time during
 the coming three months. Sales of spot
 copper as high as 2Gla cents are re-
 ported. The falling ofr in production
 during the winter months has put the
 producing companies in position
 where they will find it dinicul, to de.
 liver the copper already sold and they
 will have no surplus Co sell for cash
 delivery between now and July. Con sumcrs are in the market to buy copper every day, and the foreign demand k much stronger now than at any previous time for several months. It seems quite probable that prices will bc marked up another cent or two per pound in tho near future.
 The bad break in prices recently is almost wholly the result of na over strained money market. As has ieeu stated previously on scvcr,l occasions tho supply of available money IS ~. haustcd and brokers have been unable to finance margin speculative accounts. Banks has been forced to '.r ira-s. and this has prccipitatod e-o. -,u'-q of securities. The dcline in railroad and industrial stocks, and in some of the high priced coppcrs, helped to frightcn speculative holdcrs and to make thc selling more general Aside from the fact that considerable amounts of Amalgamatcd. Anaconda. North Butte. Utah, and few other coppers. were carried in lightly me-gincd nc. counts. there was no elem, vc,t. ness tn the copper share a'-.'i Tho metal is still selling nt ~o'ch" prices. Thcrc arc no snr ,.,'l to dcprcss prices or cnusc .,sio,. and lot of copper has bc ~sf h ia yet to hc mined.

The Bill was not amended in any particu. lar.
 In the morning. when the bill came from the Council, n motion was made to at once take 1t up and read it.. This required n suspension of the rules, and the necessary two-thirds vote was not obtained.
 At the noon hour yesterday the Yav. apai members worked unceasingly, and with the result that twothirds working majority was obtained. The bill was read the second time by title and then discussed.
 Hampton of Graham opposed the bill on account of Prescott being chos. en as the location for the home. The altitude was undesirable, he said, and he had heard that Prescott had a se- were winter climate. Graham county was, to him, more attractive for the location of such an institution.

Swinburne's flagship, the cruiser st.

day for Magdalena bay, where the sec
ond squadron will engage in target
practice on an extensive scale. The
-four cruisers that arrived recently
from the Asiatic squadron now have

they will not be there long.
The Maryland and Colorado will
leave the bay today for aMre Island
where they will be coaled When the

the West Virginia and Pennsylvania
will go to the navy yard for fuel. When

SUCCESSION 70
CHINESE THRONE
PARAMOUNT TOPIC IN GREAT
ORIENTAL EMPIRE-DOWAGER
EMPRESS VERY INFIRM.

PEKIN, Sept. 18-The question OF
the Manchuria succession, native Off
cials assert, has become the paramount
topic of the deliberation at the Sum-
mer palace One of the abest foreign
authorities says that more urgent than
constitution for China or the ANAL
gamation of the opposing Chinese and
Manchus is the question of an heir APP
the greatest of all Manchus, clearly
identifies with the continuance Sc
curity of the dynasty.
The question has not been raised
since the time subsequent to the Dow
ayers deposing of Prince Chun's son,
Pu Chun, in accordance with the pro-
tocol of 1901, when the majority of the
Imperial clan reafFirmed loyalty to Pu
Chun. This action caused a danger
GUS scandal and was regarded as an
affront to the powers, threatening a
renewal of the complications. A price
was placeu on Chun's head, the clan
was denounced and its activity sup
pressed
The urgency of the question of the
succession and the difficulty of it's set
tlement is serious, owing to the1nfirm-
tiles of the Dowager Empress, due to
old age, which are complicated by
threats of apopleXy and also by the
condition of the Emperor, who con-
stantly is reported to be ILL., He is said
to be the victim of a decline when

BASEBALL MEN
PRACTICE TRICKS
ALL-HAWAIIAN TEAM HAD SOME
MORE LIVELY PRACTICE LAST
NIGHT.

The prospects for some good base
ball games to fill in the time between
now and the time when the Fisher
team arrives are very good The All
Hawaii team Captained by Bill Hamp-
ton are anxious to get in the game be-
that end arrangements are being made
between some of the players in the
Riverside League to play every week
with the All Hawaii team. The best
players from the Palama and Chinese
A. c. teams will probably make up the
picked team These players in the
Riverside league have been playing
very good ball this season, and a series
of games with the All Hawaii team,
will be the best kind of practice they
could possibly get The All Hawaii
team were out at practice last night
and the boys went through some or
their new tricks that astonished some
of the onlookers. The fans are be-
coming more enthusiastic every day
over the prospects of the results in the
coast series, and a number of the
wise ones" have been heard to say
that they think the cream of Hawaii
will win the series. The local boys
will have an advantage over the coast
players owing to the fact that after
they arrive they will still have their
sea legs on, and it will take them some
time to get acclimated. Let the cap
tain and the manager of the local team
get busy and arrange a series with the
Picked team from the Riverside League
and start the ball rolling next Satur-
day. The games will make the play
ers more confident, and the fans will
probably flock out to the grounds in
larger numbers than they have at the
League games during the season.

RADIOS men tried to desert at Honolulu
but the size of the place was too limit
ed to make hiding easy and the island
police returned every man to the ship.
1t is said that as general court mar
tials followed the short stay at Homo
lulu.
The local launchmen learned Sunday
that the new law which brings their
boats under the supervision of the
government inspectors is something
more than a matter of form. Hardly
had the crowds assembled that wished
to visit the battleships than govern
ment inspectors put in an appearance.
Boatmen not provided with licenses
were not allowed to operate launches
carrying passengers and the number
of passengers carried was limited in
every case to the number of life pre-
servers on board.
This regulation is said to have hit
Boatman c. A. McNeill rather heavy
blow. Mcneil came over from Tiburon
to share in the harvest and brought
three boats with him. He lad sold
many tickets when the inspectors APP
peared and limited him to IL passen-
gers a boat The crowd holding
| tickets demanded their money back
and in the process of liquidating, Nc
Neil discovered that some thrifty
forger had duplicated his tickets SO
cleverly that until Mcneil ran out OF
cash the bogus pasteboards looked as
good to him as the tickets he had
/ issued.
