KILLED BY CAvEIN
Bisbee Miner Loses His Life and An
 other Is Badly Injured

A cavein at the l.. $. X P. shaft of the Superior X Pittsburg Mining com pany yesterday afternoon crushed out the life of Ethelbert Hayes, Cornish man, and injured Frank Allen, another miner, says the Bisbee Review.
 Hayes body was removed to the Pal ace undertaking parlors soon after the deplorable accident, while Allen lies at the Calumet & Arizona hospital suffer ing from eontusions about the shoulders. No bones are reported broken and Al len $ recovery is said by the physicians in charge to be matter of but few days at most.
 The accident which claimed the life of Hayes occurred on the 1000 level in No. ? sulphide stope, about 3:30 yes terday afternoon Hayes body was completely buried beneath the debris and falling rock, and his life was liter, ally crushed out. No bones appeared to have been broken.
 Hayes was about g years of age and a native of the province of St. Firth, in England. An uncle, whose name could not be learned last evening, resides in this district. Hayes resided during his lifetime here at Don Luis. The remains will probably be inferred in Evergreen cemetery.
 Coroner Grier of Lowell, upon hear ing of the accident, immediately sum moned coroners s jury, composed of Albert Weaver, E. c. Thomas, James Hart, William Flynn, Albert Person and J. M York The jury repaired to the L. $. X P. at once, where they viewed the remains. They will convene at the office of Justice Grier at Lowell today at 1 clock for the purpose of rendering a verdict.
 The escape of Allen from death sim liar to his fellow workman s is nothing short of miraculous, as he was standing by when tons of earth and rock fell from the roof of the stope in which both were working.

BAD ENDING IF
 WEEKS MARKET
Market Closes Quite Weak-Expected Trouble in London Monday Causes General Selling all Through the List Buying Power Very Limited.
(By I. N. Kinsev)

GLOBE, March 23.--logan X Bryan of New York say: Market closed very weak; sharply lower In specialties some improvement was made from low point, but list all through showed a general falling of in prices. Some un- easiness is felt in Wall street regarding conditions in London. Fortnightly set dement's due Monday and Tuesday and the heavy liquidation we have had yes terday and today can be attributed to this source. This continuous erumbling away of price sis having a bad effect on the market. 1t has warped buying power and it seems as if it would take time to restore confidence in stability of market Looks tonight that sales on bulges can be replaced lower down.
 Paine, Webber X Co., of Boston say: Following weakness in foreign markets, wher etrouble is expected Monday, our markets were weak and under pressure the entire session. Buying power is very limited in general list, although there was fairly steady demand for North Butte and Copper Range. Low priced stocks are hard to sell without sacri- fcing. Barring any disastrous trouble in London next week, we believe good coppers should be bought around the closing prices.
 Dow Jones X Co. say: Currency re- turning from all over United States to New York in larger volume than at any time since January.

DEATH CAME SLOWLY
Miner Killed by Missed Hole Suffered
 Tortures

That M, A. Wilson, whose mangled re- mains were found in tunnel in his mine, near Goddard, Yavapai county. Saturday, met with death of torture, is apparent from the shape in which the body was found and the circum- stances surrounding the sad affair
 From a minute examination of the place it appears that he was engaged in drilling "missed hole, when the explosion that led to his deaht occurred.
 His left arm, which was blown off at the elbow, and his right thumb and false teeth, were found close to the face fthe drift in which the explosion took place, and his body, with the right leg broken, a horrible hole in the storh- aeh, and the right temple fractured, with piece of rock still sticking in the wound, was found about seventy we feet from the face of the drift, to which place he had dragged himself over the floor of the opening, which life blood.
 Thursday, at noon, people in God dard heard five shots from the direc- tion of the tunnel, which is one mile and a half to the northwest The dirt from these shots was found to have been cleaned out and it is surmised that his death occurred that evening when he returned to drill the missed hole. The drill which he used was found, broken, near the face of the tunnel, bearing mute testimony to his tragic end, as well as the hammer which made the concussion, the handle of which was found badly battered by the flying rocks.
 The body was found in the tunnel in the position described, by Deputy Sheriff Bowdre, the coroner and the coroner s jury, when they reached the place late sunday night It had not been covered The remains were in tered near the deceased s tent, about l50 yards from the mouth of the tun. mel, by the officers and coroner s jury, which rendered a verdict in accordance with the facts stated.
