terrific rate from the mouth Of the
mine, destroying several small sheds

were working in the second entry

For an hour or more the mine was
too hot to permit men to go IN to

Sad Sight at Mouth Of Mine.
The explosion attracted women,
men and children to the mouth Of
the mine In little while and the
wailing that was heard was heartrend-

a short while air was again being cir
culated through the mines.
The first rescuing party reached the
second entry two hours after the ex-
ploson and two bodies We're recover

more bodies were taken out with ten
men still alive. Among the dead TAX
en- out early was Robert Arnold, the

May said:

Wny Colds are Dangerous

Because you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do
not for a moment imagine that colds
are not dangerous. Everyone knows
pneumonia and chanic catarrh
have their origin in d common cold.
C|Is--~Cption is not caused by cold
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development
of the germs that would not
otherwise have found Judgment. 1t is
the same with all infectious diseases.
D'HthCria, scarlet fever, measles and
W ing cough are much more likely
to Le cUncfacted when the child has
a cold. You will see from this that
more real danger turks in a cold than
in any other of the common ailments.
The easiest and quickest way to cure
: cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough

Seeking For His Long Lost Uncle.

Calvin B. La Shelle, an old soldier,
who lives at the National Soldiers
HON., in California, has written the
Phoenix postmaster letter in which
he says he will be very thankful to
anybody who will write and give him
the whereabouts or fate of William
r. Sommers, his only uncle. He says
that last February he sent posters all
over the Pacific coast in the hope of
learning something regarding his
uncle, who went from Illinois to Cali
fornia in 1851 or 1852, and who, if
still living is now rs or so years old.
The only trace he ever got was in a
letter written this month to him by
Sheriff Sweeney, of Tuolumne county,
Cal, who resides in Sonora, Cal. The
'etter says: "Some time ago I re-
ceived a notice asking for Informal
ton of one William r. Somers or Bill
Summers. l posted the notice and d
man came in my office and said that
he knew him well in Phoenix, Ari-
IONA, and had long talks with him in
places. He was sure he was the same
man. The last time he saw him was
when he left Phoenix in search of
some old Mexican topaz mines, sup
posed to be located in that country.
That was four years ago, and this
man said he stayed there some time
after that, but Sommers did not re-
turn while he was there, and he never
heard of him after he left Mr. La
Shelle would like to have any person
who may know SOmmers write him
aud he also inquiries where the topaz
mines are, thinking no doubt, that
someone there may know Sommers.

Copper Wire Business.

n representative of one of the
largest copper wire manufacturers in
the United States says:
even though the wire business
has fallen off appreciably from the
volume of the early months of the
current year, we are at present turn
ing out manufactured product at a
rate equivalent to the past teD years
average.
''Since the announcement of a new
base price of Is! cents a pound for
wire we have taken on some new
business, but not in any great
amounts. 1t still remains quest on
of the price of money, and so long as
traction companies and other users
of copper wire are unable to secure
sufficient funds, it will be impossible
to work up much new business.
Manufacturers have undoubtedly
produced all the wire which had been
contracted for when the copper mar
ket was around the 25-cent mark and
are now working on new business.
I'm talking OF the very heavy TALL
ing off in wire business as compared
with conditions eighth or ten months
ago, it should be taken into considera-
tion that at that time the various
mills throughout the country were
turning out as much finished material
in a single month as would be manu-
featured in ordinary times in two or
three times that space of time. 1t is
simply a reaction to normal condi-
tions.
"There is no agreement to hold
aloof from the copper market. I'm
til the manufacturers receive the or
ders theywill not buy copper.
"The |<6s cent base price for copper
wire is the lowest in two years. y

British Government Matrimonial Agency.

The British government is offering
land and money as premiums to young
men who get married and agree to
cultivate the land. The crown owns
d large farm at Moulton in Lincoln
shire, which it intends to cut up into
smaller ones and give perpetual
leases to young couples.
a member of the board of agricul-
ture said in speaking of the plan:
1.-THE tenants will be young men, and
the idea is to guarantee that they
will settle on the land; not work it for
time and then leaye it. A young
man with wife and home to look
after is far more likely to settle down
than a single one. Up to date four
single men have been granted leases.
Two of these are brothers and have a
holding on joint tenancy, and in
their case the matrimonial clause
will be considered as carried out if
one of them marries within the speci-
fed period. In the other two cases
both tenants look forward to matri-
Young men are taking up farms of
from forty to fifty acres in area in
the village. Moulton is in the center
of splendid agricultural country.
The land is rich and crops are good.
The new holdings on the crown farm
will be devoted chiefly to wheat and
potato growing, and dairy farming is
to receive much attention, and the
farmers of the district look upon the
new scheme as an excellent one.
The young bachelors naturally come
in for certain amount of testing on
the subject of enforced matrimony,
but the general idea is that the small
holding scheme combined with the
marriage clause is just what is want
ed Rents are to be low, never ex-
ceeding SO an acre, and the govern
ment is spending 5000 in erecting
homesteads and farm buildings for
the tenants.

immigration Inspector Charles T..
Connell has caused the arrest of d
young woman who gives her name as
Emalia Rivera, charging her under
the immigration laws with being an
alien prostitute which makes her
liable to deportation. This is a
peculiar case, in that the woman is
the daughter of a Chinaman named
Jim Gee and Mexican woman of the
name of Emalia Rivera. The daugh-
ter took the mothers name. Her
part Chinese parentage is plainly
stamped on her features. The case
Is peculiar in that the woman can be
deported for three reasons: Fir~t,
that she is of Chinese blood: second,
that she was not inspected when she
entered the United States from Mex
leo; third, that she became prosti-
tute within three years from the
time of her entry. She is being de-
tanned by Inspector Cornell under
guard and will doubtless be deported

American
Guggenheim's

The Guggenheim's American
Smelling and Refining company,
evidently feeling somewhat the finan-
cial stringency in the United States,
and the great drop in all of their
stocks are curtailing production and
operations somewhat in Mexico.
Following quickly their shut down of
the Veladena mines in Durango, they
have cut down the production of
their Santl Eulalia mines to half the
regular output. These mines are
only fifteen miles from Chihuahua.
However, the A. S. & r. Co. is trying
hard to get in a large supply of coke
and coal so as to blow in some of the
furnaces of its 800 ton smelter now
practically complete and located six
miles below Chihuahua. If the fuel
arrives in sufficient quantities to in
sure steady running of the plant it
will blow in next month.
