EIGHT SAILORS KILLED
Explosion in Turrett of ea'''eS'"p
 Georgia Raises Havoc.

Boston Mass, July.-The following men were killed and injured by the ls- hitting of two sacks of powder in tur- ret of the battleship Georgia during target practice in Cape Cod Bay Mon day morning.
 Th dead: Lieut.. Caspar Goodrich, New York. William J. Thatcher, chief turret captain, Wilmington, Del Faulkner Goldwaite, midshipman Kentucky. w. J. Burke, ordinary sea man. Quincy, Mass. G. c. Hamilton, ordinary seaman, South Farmington' Mass. w. H. Thomas, ordinary sea man. Newport, R. l. George E. Miller, ordinary seaman, Brooklyn, N. I. VII liam S. Pair, ordinary seaman, Brook lyn. N. Y. The injured: Midshipman John T. Cruse, Nebraska Frank Schlapp boatswain's mate, North Adams. Mass. Charles Hassett, gun ner's mate, New York. Orly Tagland, chief iceman, Rushford, Minn. J. G. Thomas, ordinary yeoman, Brooklyn, N. Y. s. L. Rosenberger, ordinary sea- man, Philadelphia. Edward J. Walsh, ordinary seaman, Lynn, Mass. John U. Malleeck, ordinary seaman, Cleveland, O. John A. Bush, ordinary seaman, New York l.. O. Mese, ordinary sea man, Southwick, Mass. John A. Zone, ordinary seaman, Trenton, N. J. Char les l.. Rich, ordinary seaman, Frank fort, Ind.
 Four other men received minor in juries, whose names were not given out and who were not taken off the ship.
 The explosion occurred in the after turret, where the men, under com' mand of Lieutenant Caspar Goodrich, son of Rear Admiral Goodrich, com mandant of the New York navy yard, and Midshipmen Faulkner Goldthwaite and John T. Cruse were operating the eight-inch guns.
 The cause of the accident is said to have been the accidental firing of 7 100-pound sacks of powder. This pow der being loose did not have pressure to injure the ship but the flame filled the small turrett and roasted the gun ners alive.
 An examination of the turret after the accident failed to show that any serious damage had resulted to the ship. Immediately upon learning the details of the accident Capt. Henry McCrea, commander of the Georgia, notified Rear Admiral Charles M. Thomas. commander of the squadron, of what had occurred. Rear Admiral Thomas ordered an Investigating board to examine into the causes of the accident Until this board makes it's report the real cause of the explo- sion will be in doubt. and it is un' certain that the board will be able to determine definitely what ignited the powder.
 Two theories are entertained. One belief is that a spark from the dis charge of the guns floated back into the turret through a gun port and set tied on the powder cases. Another theory is that the spark that caused the trouble came from the smoke stacks of the ship and fioated through the gun ports

Causes Larqe Fire.

Eudora, Miss, July.-The explosion of lamp, overturned by the pet cat of the James household at Clark's station, Monday, resulted in the total destruction of the homestead and the death of two negro servants who were asleep on the premises. The cat, a valuable Persian and the pet of Aunt Susan" James, an old maid, well known in this community, jumped for a moth that was flying at the lamp. The table cloth was pulled off by the claws of the cat and the lamp was dashed to the floor.

BRYAN PRAISES
TRADES UNIONS
THEIR WORK FOR CHILD LABOR
AGE LIMIT ALONE WARRANTS
THEIR EXISTENCE

Chicago, H., March 19.-William
j. Bryan, at the closing conference
Monday i'm connection with the in
dustrial exhibit, expressed the opin-
ion that trade unions have done
more good for this country than any
force in the country. The unions
have made some mistakes. but they
have accomplished more good" was
the keynote of his speech. He paid
Ia tribute especially o the organiza-
tions of women I'm this connection.
When we consider that through
trade unions wages have been in
creased, hours shortened and com
fort afforded, the wofkingmen I'm
greater measures" he eaid. Il think
we have a right to say the benefits
resulting from these unions cannot
he over estimated
Perhaps no other force i'm the
country ever has been so effective for
improvement in the citizenship
and general moral qualities of our
people. If the labor union had never
done anything else than raise the age
limit of employment for children i'm
the mines and factories Of the ma
ton, believe that accomplishment
alone would Justify its existence. No
influences in this country has ever
been so evil in its effects as the ten
dency to crowd our workshops with
children of tender years. 1t is a most
destructive tendency and one that
the public consciences should pro
test against" Referring to women
in industry, Mr.. Bryan said he be
lieved women might accomplish as
much as men through organization
and unions.

What say YOU of the city paper

worth more than the county draft?

Was he a member of the ring, or
was he Democrat? And during

Town? The city treasury to-day is
bankrupt, with hardly cent in its
offers and thousands of dollars i'm
drafts outstanding, which the hold
hrs have to discount heavily to get
he money. Does the mouthpiece of
he ring deny This? If not, who is
responsible for the condition? The
ring has a two-thirds majority i'm

A Relief Bill Introduced.

Senator Perkins, of California, this week introduced bill in the United States senate having for its object the relief of mine owners from the neces- sity of doing annual work on their mining claims during the years 1907 and 1908. Speaker Cannon wired a mining friend that he was in favor of the passage of the bill, but it is prob able that it will meet with consider able opposition and can hardly pass in time to be of benefit to the mine owners, unless long chances are taken. The best way is to do the work and be sure of saving your mine from the claim jumper.
Mohave County miner., 1907-12-14
Big Strike at Goldroad,

On the 500 level of the Gold Road mine the miners this week cut through seven feet of ore, in the west drift, that is said to be lar richer than any like body of ore in that property. Specimens from the vein show free gold and it is thought that the whole seven feet will run above forty dollars to the ton. The vein on this level is very large and the whole of it will pay to mill, aside from the rich part of the vein. The company is working two shifts in the drift and are making good headway.
 The opening of this rich body is of great value to the Gold Road company, as it may result in bringing the an- tagonistic factions together on a com prom,se agreement to continue work on the property and put in the big mill and start several new shafts. The latest version of the disagreement be- tween the American and French ,hare- holders is said to be in the matter of betterments, the Frenchmen contend ing that it is far better to develop the mine to at least one thousand feet in depth before changing the milling plant and to put all betterments in the mine, and that if the mine continues it's ore bodies to that depth they can get all the money necessary to put in big plant suitable to the economic working of the ores; that the ores may change widely in character with in the next two hundred feet and the method of milling might have 60 be changed to meet the new conditions, which would be rather expensive The Americans contend that the cost of producing bullion by the present met bod is very expensive, the power alone costing thirty-tive dollars horse power per month; that with the install lation of the new mill the cost of bull ion production will be reduced more than fifty per cent, and that no change in the milling character of the ore need be looked for in the property y at any depth. The ore is at present neutral and can be handled with low cyanide loss.
 The people of the county are vitally interested in this mine and it is to be hoped that the shareholders may set tie their differences before shutdown of the property takes place. It is one of the greatest gold properties in the world and with the betterments con- templated ought to be producing from 250, ,0O0$ to 5OO,OO0$ per month within two years.
