DEATH OF A PROM.
INfNT CITIZEN.
One OF Greenw0od's Most Usetut CHI.
zsus Enters into Rest.

Mr. 7, A. Gleason was native of New
Orleans and came to Greenwood in 1906
and engaged In the cotton business,
since which time he has been one OF the
leading aud most useful citizens Of the
city.
For several years he was president Of
the Cotton Exchange; no was ono Of the
organizers of the Tallahatchie Compress
Il Storage Co., and was always Interest,"
ed in every thing that tended to up
buiid and expand tho growth Of his
adopted city, which he loved. He was
past Exalted Ruler of the Benevolent
and Protective'0rder Of Elks and the
wisdom OF his wise leadership Is now
seen in the strength and growth Of tho
local lodge.
Early last'fall Mr.. Gleasons health
began to fail, and he has been constant
sufferer, but not once did he complain,
nut TO the end exhibited cheerfulness,
patience and courage that was beauti-
tal and he was active In business to the
last, under physical difficulties which
few men could have borne.
During all OF this period everything
that medical skill could devise was ad-
ninistered by loving hands; every at
tentlon and comfort of loving hearts
was fully given; but Gods time had
come aud at 1890 Sunday morning, sur
rounded by his faithful wife, her BROTH
er and his faithful, loyal friends, he
quietly and sweetly fell asleep In Jesus;
safe for eternity Ia the arms Of the Mas
tor. The funeral services we're con-
Quoted from the presby yterian church on
Monday morning at 10 o'clock by the
pastor after which tho remains were
followed to the cemetery by multitude
OF friends. The services were conduct
ca at the grave by the Elk's, and were
very solemn and impressive; a tribute
OF love to their departed brother. All
OF the services we're simple and sweet,
in keeping with the life he had lived.
The following were tho pall-bearers:
Active; DIR. T. II. Henderson, s. L.

Mr.. Gleason leaves wife, two sisters
and brother who mourn his loss.
Greenwood has lost one Of her best
citizens, and the entire community
nourns the loss Of useful and helpful
life.
The sympathy Of the community IL
extended to the bereaved wife and lov-
ID ones in their great sorrow.

CHAIRMAN L0MAX
MAKES STATEMENT.
Says Candidates Must Resign from
Committees.

Hon. c. L. Lomax, chairman of the
Democratic state executive committee,
gives out the following statement which
will be OF interest to executive commit
teemen who are candidates for Office at
the approaching primary elections in
this state.
II have had several inquiries as to
whether or not when member of a
county executive committee becomes a
candidate for an office, he should resign
from the committee. The chapter on
primary elections, code 1906, is silent as
to this point.
Section 4141 OF the code prohibits a
commissioner of elections from being a
candidate for any Office at any election
for which he may have been appointed
and with reference to which he has to
act as such. The duties performed by
the county executive committee, as to
primary elections, is practically the
same as the duties performed by the
county commissioners of elections in
general elections.
Section 1907 of the code authorizes
county executive committee to appoint
all of the managers for said election.
Section 3708 gives to the county ex-
ecutive committee the right to pass up
on certain votes which may be cast at
said election.
section 3705 makes it the duty of the
courty executive committee to canvass
the returns and declare the result of the |
primary election. Owing to the SINH
larity of the duties performed by cleo
tion commissioners in general elections
and by the county executive committee
in primary elections, | think it is proper
for member of the executive committee
when he becomes candidate for any Of
flee to resign his position as a member
of the committee.
From what can gather, it seems to
be precedent in the Democratic party
that man, who is candidate for office
and member of the executive commit
tee. 1t promotes harmony in the party
and places the candidate in position
where he will not be subject to criticism
and is conducive to fair and honest clec
tions."

The same daily average of 100 tons, 200 ssu1Dlfide and 200 oxide, has been maintained at the Shattuck-Art1oRa property during the past week, the sulphfds being shipped to the smeI' 1ers at Globe, and the oxide to the Copper Queen reduction works al Douglas. It is expected that this average will be increased within a very short time.
 Most of the work of installing the new Sullivan compressor has been finished. and a man from the manu' fac1srers' establishment arrived in the city during the past couple oi days to superintende the work of at 4aehing the fittings which arrived in the city yesterday. With the rapid progress being made it is probable that the compressor will be placed in commission about September l. at which time the last of the smaller ones wiil probably be removed, and in' stalled at the Denn-Arizona

WEEK IS QUIET, BUT ORE IS
 ABUNDANT
Dem Will Probably Begin Shipment of Ore to Shelters This Week-RaiIroad Spur Has Been Delayed to Mine,

There has been very little of in terest in the local mining situation during the past week, the principal efforts being directed towards the in staliation of new equipment at the various pronerties or the opening up of ore bodies encountered some time ago.
 The Cole shaft and Hoatson of the Superior & Pittsburg Company have attracted considerable attention, ow- jng fo the opening of rather extensive ore bodies in each, especially in the former, which is now producing about 400 ions of ore daily. The only items of note at the Calumet & Arizona properties being. the resignation of Foreman Collins and the progress which is being made on the new ma chine shops. F7
 The Denn did not commence ship uenes during the past week as ex- pected, owing to delay in finishing the railroad spur, but considerable amount of ore is ready for shipment, which will be possible about the mid de of the week At the Shattuck new equipment has attracted most of the attention.
 There has been nothing of note at any of the smaller properties in the immediate vicinity nor in those situ- ated a few miles distant in Tomb stone Canyon.
 The supply of fuel which had been below normal is now practically up to the standard. and is causing nc anxiety.
Bisbee daily review., 1907-08-18

Some of the active supporters of the Federation were left behind, but as near as can be learned but very little progress has been made in interesting the men employed at the smelter in the labor organization. It is known that several MeXicans who had be- come active in labor agitation have been discharged by the companies on that account There is little appre- hension of serious trouble being brought on Douglas, as was the case in Bisbee on account of the advent of Rawlings and Cannon.
 Nothing has been learned recently about the Shattuck smelter which it was thought would have been under construction in Douglas before this time. It is known that the site was surveyed and that plans and bids for the new smelter were received some time ago. and it was reported that the directors would arrive from the east some time in July. when the contracts would be let for the plant Nothing has been done so far, but it is expected that a beginning will not much longer be delayed.

Range railroad track. About d dozen men are employed, and the work Is progressing without interruption.
 "A pit four or five feet in width has been opened nearly across the forma. tion. The clay Overburden varies from a few inches to several feet in thick. ness. On the hanging wall side the lode has been stripped for some little distance and a fine bunch of copper is being taken out by blasting.
 The lode carries copper clear to the surface and all along the pit can be found unmistakable evid ence or US richness. Work has been started on opening a second pit at a distance of 100 feet or so from the first one. This is for the purpose of securing the din and stike of the lode.
 The location of the shaft has not yet been determined, but as soon as the explorations have been carried far enough to assure the management or the character of the lode, development work will begin and will be pushed vigorously"
 The work at the Lake is attracting much attention and the property has been visited by a number of mining men and others who are keeping close tab on affairs in that locality. Oper ations are being continued in the Knowlton shaft of the Lake property Drifting is underway at the thi d lev. el and some excellent rock is beins taken out and considerable heavy copper is being found.

DOUGLAS SHELTERS

There has been TO incident of spe- eia1 importance at either of the smell ters at Douglas during the week. Both plants are beias operated steadily with furnaces four in action at the Calumet & Arizona and nine at the Copper Queen The ore receipts for Bisbee during the week was more than equal to the consumption, and at both plants the surplus was placed in the reserve pifeE.
 At both plants work is going on with the eniargements and additions which were commenced early in the year. Delay has been caused in this work because Of delay in the delivery of material from the manufacturers. The addition to the power house of the Queen is now nearing completion and material is coming in for the building on the west end At the c. 6 A. the new power house is also nearing completion.
 The organizers of the Western Fed eration who went from Bisbee to Douglas two months ago have been away during the week attending the annual miners convention at Globe.

CALUMET z ARIZONA.

During the past week the various shafts of the Calumet & Arizona Min ing Company everything has been progressing about the same as usual. There have been discoveries of note in either the Irish Mag or Oliver shaft. although it is probable that the month of August will see a slight increase in the production. It is fully expected that in September ma terial increase in the amount Of cop per produced ,Till be evident, as gen. eral plans towards that end are now being carried out.
 Work on the cOmpany's new ma chine shops located on the ground near the Junction shaft is progressing rapidly. and every effort is being di- rected towards the completion of this important adjunct to the already modern plant.
 J. c. Collins, for some time past mine foreman for the Calumet & Ari- zona. resigned his position, and left the district for California. where he will make his home in the future. The management has not as yet made any announcement in regard to his sue tOessur
