MINING NEWS.

who has just come over rom the Gojdroads made the remark that at the lower level the Goldroads mine oave indication of being the great est property discovered on the Pa cific coast in the last twenty years. The ore body is immense and the values are big.
 Prescott Courier: The Gibson mine is now employing the largest force of miners in its history. There are now employed at the mine 130 men and reports coming from the mine are very encourag- ing. The company has for some time been hampered by lack of miners, but all the men who can be used at the mine are now ein- ploved. Alderman $. L. Gibson, one of the owners of the mine, stated last evening that this month will be a record month for the mlne, as the shipments have been the heaviest since the mine has been in operation.
 Prescott Courier: Hon. John $. Jones is in from the Little Jessie mines, located in Chaparral gulch. He has his double compartment shaft, which is an enlargement of the old shaft, down 300 feet. The old shaft is 657 feet deep. He confirms the report of the recent rich strike on those properties. The strike was made in crosscut 56 feet from the drift into the hanging wall, and 300 feet from the surface, and was made in vir- gin ground and beneath a surface outcropping. A vein three feet wide was encountered. The sul- pilates in this vein carry $207 per ton in gold. Drifting Is now being pushed both ways on the new strike.
 Mohave Miner: H. A. Owen, known throughout the territory as "Chloride Jack" was taken to the hospital few days ago seriously i'll. MT. Owen is said to be suffer ing from dropsy and his condition is alarming. Many years ago Hiram Owen was known all over the Pacific coast as miner, prospec- tor and promoter. He was one of the discoverers of the famous Me- Cracken mine, which in few years produced about $4,000,000 in silver and was its superintendent after it passed into the hands of the big San Francisco company. Several years ago he sold his in- terest in a group of mines in the Santa Maria district, which net ted him a good sized sum of money. But the many thousands of dollars have gone and in his old age he is broke" and incapacitat- ed from work. The friends of his better days, and there are many, will regret to learn of the illness of Chloride Jack"
 Arizona Democrat: What is be- lieved by the finder to be a tin mine has been discovered within the bounds of Maricopa county, less than p miles from Phoenix, by H. B. Smith. Smith refuses to give the location of the property. He has known of 1t for some time, and only recently made trip to the mine, where he did little prospecting work and returned with samples of the ore, which will

Governor Has StenographiC Report Cf Evidence In Oen-
 tai Board Hearing.

Dr. E. F. Gonzalez, the local dentist, has returned to the city from Phoenix, where he went last week to be present at the hearing given the board of den tai examiners before Governor Kibbey
 The charges against the board, and more especially against Dr. W. G. Lentz, the chairman. is that, by unfair and unprofessional methods, the board has endeayored to prevent applicants from being admitted to practice their profession in the territory and there by lessen competition
 The charges were preferred by DT. Wilson, dentist of Phoenix, and the hearing took place in the executive chambers last week, a number of wit nesses having been summoned by both sides. Judge E. J. Edwards, of Globe, and Dr. Gonzales, of Bisbee, took the foremost part in the case against the board.
 The governor has not as yet handed down any decision, but all of the testi- mony was taken down in short hand and is now in his possession, and a de. cision Is expected shortly.

YOUNG MAN DIES FROM INJURY
 RECEIVED
Robert EngIe Passes Away in Spite of Physicians Efforts to Save Him-WaS Struck by Stone,

One of the saddest cases in the his tory of the city is that of the death of Robert Engle, son of Mir. and Mrs. L. A. Engle, of this city. The young man died at the home of his parents. the c. & A. boarding house, yesterday afternoon; dying in spite of the eff forts of the local physicians to save his life.
 Robert Engle was employed at one of the mines near Pearce, in the northern portion of Cochise county, and several days ago was struck over the gall bladder by a rock. At the time he thought nothing of the mat ter, although the blow had been pain ful, but on the following day was sui fering considerable pain. He went to a physician in the camp, who thought little of the matter, simply supplying some external treatment. The young man grew steadily worse, and deciS<1 to come to Bisbee for treatment. He arrived in the city on Friday. and the Copper Queen physicians were imme- diately called ir. and found Engle in a critical condition. A thorough ex- animation disclosed the fact that the young man had suffered internal in juries his gall bladder having been bursted. The only recourse the, doc tors had was an operation the chances manifold against success, not only on account of the nature of the injury, but principally on account of the length of time which had elapsed.
 The young man was taken to the hop 2ital, and underwent the operation. For time afterwards he showed signs of improvement, but the injury and pain had long since sapped his vitality, and he finally passed away.
 The body is being prepared for bu- rial at the Fletcher 6 Woods under taking parlors, and the funeral an nouncement will be made later.

AN ARTIFICIAL EARTHQUAKE

Earthquakes are not always violent, and there is one of the modest sort taking place in Bisbee at the present time. Climb up the mountains any where in the neighborhood of the Spray, the Irish Mag, the Oliver and the other shafts farther down, but particularly the ones mentioned, and you will find great cracks in the earth running in various directions and vary ing in depth from few inches to two feet. The earth has "Quaked" here and the upper crust been broken. Tho cause of it all is the vast tunnels made in the mighty hills.
 Slowly but surefy the surface of the land is sliding in southeasteriy direction toward the gulch, and up to date it has moved about three or four feet. Slowly the shafts on the Spray and Irish Mag are shifting with the movement of the land. Precautions are being taken by the eminent engin' eers employed to meet the change and not have it interfere with the mining operations.
 One of the reasons for running an electric harling road from the Irish Mag to the Oliver shaft is in anticipa. tion of time when the shaft with the Irish name will no longer be able to lift her ore to the surface through the shaft Although the surface is changing the expert mining engineers can meet the emergency at every stage of the game. It is only earth quakes like Charleston, San Francisco and Kingston that can beat them Such changes are common in locali < ties of deep mines.

 \ This Game,

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The AmeTl-' can Association of Life Insurance Presidents formed a month ago. held a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria to- day and elected an executive commit tee.
 Twenty-six companies are repre- sented. their combined assets run hing into the billions.
 Relative to it's organization, George R. Schugman, chairman of the Inter- national Policy Holders committee said tonight:
 Their avowed purpose of taking issue in legislative matters with the policyholders, who are attempting throughout the country to enact re- medial legislation, will be met fully by a permanent policyholders' asso- ciation. which is now being organized.
 This association will take issue with this colossal combination before every state legislature before which
 emedial legislation will be intro duced.
 "There has been prepared by the committee of fifteen of the state su- perintendents of insurance. a general | insurance bill which will be intro duced in the legislatures of thirty seven states. Undoubtedly one oi the purposes of the organization oi \ life insurance presidents is to oppose this corrective legislation"
 At today's meeting of the presi dents association. an executive com mittee was named consisting of Pau Morton. S. c. Durham, Thomas A Beckner. George D. Ide, L. c. Foust and Haley Fiske.

There is a law on the statute books which, either through neglect to en- force it, or ignorance of the same, has fallen into disuse, and the negleet of which is liable to entail serious con- sequences at any time. The law re- ferred to is that concerning the re- porting of births and deaths to the county recorder.
 The circumstances which bring the statute into prominence at the present time are those connected with the death of a mother and twin babies on Chihuahua Hill early last Saturday morning. Although there is not tue slightest suspicion of anything wrong in connection with the case, yet the fact that these three human beings passed into he great beyond, no Fhy' sician having seen them before u-ath and no report being made, Is evidence of laxity in the carrying out of law which was put on the statute books for evident good reasons.
 On Saturday morning about 1 oclocl a member of the Copper Queen medi cal staff was called in to attend thu wife and children of Santiago Niialyo an employe of the mining company On arriving at the house the physician found the mother and new born twin' cold in death. When asked concern ing his opinion of what had caused death. the physician stated that as al Of the people were dead when he go to the house. he could not make an! positive statement without a post mortem examination, as to what wa the immediate cause of death. When asked if he had signed deatt certificate the physician stated that b, had not, and that time after time peo pie have been given over to the under takers and buried without any death cirtificate, and in many cases withou any physician having been in attend ance.
 Several other physicians were seen and asked regarding the matter, and made substantially the same state ment in reply.

BLOCKS ARE BEAUTIFUL
 OBJECTS
Arizona Gypsum Plaster Com pany of Douglas Has Put Several Samples of Its Pro- ducts on Exhibition.

DOUGLAS, Jan. 21.-(Special.)-
 The Arizona Gypsum Plaster com pany, of this city, has just completed some experiments in rne making Of building blocks of hthoiite cement, a product manufactured by them, and until now used only as mortar and plaster.
 The specimens now on exhibition at the works are certainly objects Of beauty. Some Of the stones have a smooth finish, giving the effect of cut marble; others have the rough ashlar finish, in natural color, a pleas ing gray, and brown. Others again are made to initiate pressed brick, with the pointing" depressed or in relief-every brick pointed. The sam pie, in natural color, is a beautiful specimen of pressed brick, and the imitation is of such perfection as quite to defy detection. The manage ment asserts that these can be turned out as a red pressed brick, such as Is in the Copper Queen s;ore building, or. of either of the buff shaGes that now excite so much admiration in the First National bank building and the new Brcphy building, And it is as.
 sured that they will be sold at a price |" ""t them within t-H reach of all. Es .. me -...-..... Evidences were everywhere of ex- periments being mace al these works. !, and the management asserts that they mean the eventual production of lith' olite boards and litholite shingles 1 both of which, when perfected. will
 be sold at figure that will materially lessen the cost of building homes in this city.
 1 In the office of the works it looked | like a ribbon counter, from the array
 of colors exhibited there. They proved to be tinted plasters, however-ether
 cal blues. royal purples, irridescent greens, seashell pinks, golden vel lows, sober grays and somber browns and chocolates and a pall-like black l The manager explained that wall tc which this tinted plaster s applied | will not show marring white spots un
 derneath when accidentally scratched
 or clipped, because rae co-or goes
 clear through the face. There will
 be no staining of roors rom calci

STATUTE IN REGARD ID REPORTING IF
 DEATHS IS D|SREGARDED

365 of the Revised Statutes of Ari- zona, and reads as follows:
 "All physicians and accouchers in this territory shall report, in writing, to the county recorder in the county in which they occur, all births and deaths which come under their super. vision, with the cause of death, with in thirty days after such birth or death. When any birth or death shall take place. and no physician or ac- coucher shall be in attendance, the same shall, within thirty days thereof, be reported in writing to the county recorder where the same shall have occurred, with the supposed cause of death, by the parent, or husband, or wife, or the next or kin (not a minor) of the child born or person deceased, as the case may be, or if there be none, then by the owner or lessor of the house where the death shall have oc- cured, or by the person first discover ing the deceased person. Any viola tion of this section is punishable by a fine not exceeding twenty dollars. The recorder shall file such notice without charge"
 That many deaths of the nature which occurred last Saturday morning occur among ignorant people, who are loath to call in a physician. is well known fact, and unless the law is en- forced, there is no means of telling whether death has bene natural or not.
 The above section of the statutes has been Yariously construed in the territory, but the most general mode of procedure in this matter, and that which would seem to fulfill the re- quirements of the law most fully. is for the undertaken to get a death cer- tificate before burial, from the physi- elan who attended the case. In many cases the physician will not give a death certificate, as in the case re- ferred to in this article, and under these circumstances the case should be reported to the coroner, who can decide whether the death is of such a character that 1t should be investi. gated

PROPERTY Is ON INCREASE AT .
 DOUGLAS
Real Estate Agents Report < Sales at Great Advance and
 They Are to the Local Resi-

DOUGLAS, Jan. 21.--(Special3- Local real estate men claim that property in Douglas is increasing in value at the rate of 20 per cent and that business is increasing steadily. Sales are being recorded day by day in spite of the miserable weather that has been prevalent during the past few weeks, One real estate man this morning asserted that he could sell more property on rainy day than any other and that the demand for lots in all sections of the city was increas- ing.
 Most of the sales are being made to citizens of the city who have great faith in it's future, and property Is changing hands rapidly. There are a considerable number of outside invest ors and no day goes by without in- quiries being made by visitors.
 Rumors of the entry of the South ern. Pacific railroad into Douglas are keeping real estate men interested in this project and they claim that if this rumor is settled once and for all that there will be the greatest de mand for lots in Douglas that the city has ever seen- ... .... "a. . Without an exception every real es- tate man here speaks in confident tones of the city's future, and the gen. erai opinion is that the great growth shown in the past and during the pres cent time will not slow up until there is at least fifty thousand population.
 The steady confidence shown by business men in erecting handsome stores and office buildings, is having the effect of creating feeling of the strongest security among real estate purchasers and in spite of any rise in prices they are buying with a view to future profit. -sa

1t Pays To BE Decent.

The Kansas City Star says 1t pays
to be decent. 1t does. This is not
a new discovery nor a new applica-
ton of moral ethics. It's simply the
pointing out OF a fact that is too
often overlooked particularly by
young men. But hear what the
Star says on the subject. II young
man, let the reader Contemplate the
thought with seriousness; if par
ent or other near relative. or a
friend OF a young man, let the read
er show It to that young man and
add any application that will help
1t. Says the Star:
Young man. why don't you be
decent? Why not grow to manhood
with honor and credit instead of a
stain upon your character? 1t is
Just as easy. 1t is always easier to
be man than to be rowdy.
cigarets and gambling and whiskey
have had many a wrestle with boys
before you came on the scene. and
they have never yet been thrown.
Don't get the idea into your head
that you can turn the trick.
''If you don't want to be decent
for yourself, be decent for Others.
There is one heart whose sorrows
should appeal to you. There is one
who has faced everything for your
sake; one who has to bear the cross
for your foolishness. Yon don't
want your trail through this world
stained with a mothers tears. The
boy who turns a brazen face to a
mothers grief never gets very far
on the road to happiness. When he
gets little older you find his name
on the police docket of various cities
little later the dark shodaws Of
stone walls loom up across his path
way. Without honor, home or
friends.
"'Tis sad picture, but 1t is
painted every day in every town in
this broad land. The pathway of
the transgressor is one OF rocks and
thorns. When you bruise your feet
the world will laugh at you, Just as
you laughed at your mothers ap-
peals. There is only one system
for boy to follow. Be decent. 1t
always pays dividends.
