 TOMBSTONE. Jan. 26.-Dr. Fl. H. Rooms returned yesterday from a short business trip to the vicinity of Her mosillo, Sonora. The doctor was down there on mining business. He confirms the report that Burt Alvord and Billy Stiles are in that section of the country.
 He states that on the train coming up from Hermosillo. the conversation drifted to the outlaws on account of their being seen in the vicinity of Corral, and that the conductor on the train made the assertion to him and others that he saw Stiles quite often and that only few days previous he had got on the train at Q small sta. ton between Imuris and Hermosiilo and walked through the train, evident. ly looking for some one. The con ductor knows Stiles personally and has for a number of years, so that there seems but little doubt but what he is in that section of the country. As to Alvord, the conductor does not know him by sight. The last def. nate news of the two outlaws, before this. located them i'll lower California | just across the line below San Diego where they were soon after Alyord was released from Yuma and went to Los Angeles where the newspapers called the attention of the police to the | fact of his being there. X few days after the publication of these articles l Alvnrd was missing from Los Angeles and waS-seen a few weeks later at Tia | Jauna.

KNOCKED DOWN BY NEGRO.

TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 25-Felled by a blow from a negro nighwayman, James H. Pluukett, a Southern Pa cific shopman, was robbed last even ing in the Southern Pacific yards. There were two of the hoid-up men and in their haste they secured but so cents which Plunkett had in his pants pocket and overlooked S15 which he had in the inside pocket of his coat.
 Plunkett immediately reported the robbery at the police station and the night officers were notified. About 1 o'clock, while going through the rail road yards looking for suspects, Po- licemen Johns and Beardsley came upon two negroes.
 The negroes ran when they saw the officers approaching. but pursuit was given and one of the negroes was cap tured. He gave his name as William Miner.
 The other negro escaped by dodg- ing in among some boxcars. AZ hour later negro, supposed to have been the companion of Miner, was ar.

been dismissed as well as the indict- ments found in the United States court at the time he was sentenced to serve two years in Yuma.
 There are a number of United States charges pending against Stiles in the court here, and it was upon these charges that he was being held at the time he made his escape from the county jail with Alvord and a numbe: of others. Both Alvord and Stiles are wanted in Sonora for the robbery Of mining man whom they held up and robbed of several bars of gold bullion while he was on the way from the mine to the railroad, fin the immediate vicinity of where they are al present said to be located, and 1t was Tor this Ofense that the Mexican authorities had gone to the trouble to have the United States authorities at washington issue extradition papers, i but through some mistake in the fig uring of the good time to be allowed AlVord while in the penitentIary he was let out about ten days before the time set, and as a consequence the i Mexican authorities failed to be on hand to get him. It was from fear of this fact that caused him to leave Los Angeles in such haste.
 Stiles has wife living on his ranch near Hereford, where she has been holding down the homestead for a number of years. She stated recently to parties that she had not heard from Billy for over year and did not know where he was at present. It was at | this ranch that Stiles Uas arrested by Porter Mcdonald, who caught hirn in bed asleep, and brought him to Tomb stone only to escape again.

 Plunkett, who was robbed, escaped with a severe bruise on the right cheek and the loss of 80 cents. The hold-up men gave him no opportunity to defend himself as they jumped on him unexpectedly. The blow which he received felled him and stunned him temporarily.

REPORT ON PRODUCTION
OF COAL IN ALASKA

The United States geological sur
vey reports that the total production
of coal in Alaska in 1906 was 5541
short tons, having a spot value of
S17,974, an increase of 1867 short
tons in quantity and $4724 in value
over the figures for 1905, when the
production amounted to 3774 tons,
having a value of $13,250.
Prior to 1905 the returns from the
producers of Alaskan Goals were very
incomplete, but in that year the col
lection of statistics on the subject
was undertaken by Alfred H. Brooks
and George G. Martin, of the sur
vey's division of mineral resources
of Alaska, and the returns obtained
are believed to be fairly complete.
The production for 1904 was report
ed as 694 tons, and for 1908, TAI
tons, but Mr.. Martin states that III
each of these years the total output
was at least 1000 tons, and was pro-
badly $500 to 5000 tons.
In view of the quantity of fuel con-
sumed in Alaska and by steamers
plving between the territory and the
ports of the Pacific states, the tardy
development of the excellent coal
beds in Alaska is somewhat remarka-
BILE The consumption of coal in the
territory appears to be about 40
900 tons, compared with which the
local production is insignificant.
A report on the coal fields of Alas
lsa, prepared by Mr. Martin, was pub
lished by the survey in bulletin No.
314, and survey parties now in the
field are continuing Investigations.

BIG PLACER MINING
SCHEME FOR NEVADA

The Round Mountain Hydraulic
Mining company is spending $780,
600 for pipe line and water, prepara-
tory to the commencement of the
most unique method of mining that
Nevada has ever seen. AS a rule the
deserts of Nevada have very little wa
ter and the mining regions of the
state have no more than enough for
mining and domestic purposes. Pla-
GER gold is also very rare in Nevada,
therefore, Round Mountain is to have
the first plant for hydraulic placer
mining in the state of many surpris-
es and original possibilities.
The pipe line will bring in over
400 miners inches of water-enough
for several giants and plenty for
the fumes and sluices. The pressure
will be nearly 400 feet, enough to
handle 400 to 500 tons of dirt every
"a hours with each Pinch nozzle. :"
The surface dirt along the foot of
Round Mountain is probably as rich
as any placer working in this coun-
try, or any other the 80 and 40 foot
dirt averaging about 81 to the ton,
10 and % foot dirt going as high as
$6.40 to the ton, and spots in the
SHALLOW dirt, in the canyons and Gre
vices, going anywhere from $25 up
to several hundred dollars to the ton.
The uncovering of the bedrock is
going to expose many lodges and fis-
sures in the different properties that
will be worked by the hydraulic COM
pany, and it will be the means of
starting many quartz leases, and each
DrODertV will come in for a great deal
of publicity, besides enriching its
treasury by the royalties the hydrau-
lie company will pay.-Nugget

DEGRADATION OF COPPER.

The statement, current few
months ago, that Sir William Ram
say had evolved a chemical method
for the transmutation of copper by
means of radium emanations. is
again reiterated from London. It is
coupled with the assertion that the
distinguished chemist has in prepara-
ton a paper on his discovery, which
will be read shortly before the Royal
Chemical society. The brief cable
gram is to the effect that he has, by
treating copper with gas evolved
from radium, degraded the metal in
to an unknown gas and into lithium
the lowest member of the copper
series. While the eminent scientist
is said to disclaim ability to trans
mute metals, he is reported to have
stated that the results of the degrad-
alton of copper are of utmost import
ance. He is also said to have made
these declarations:
From its inactivity it is probable
that the radium emanation belongs
to the elements of the helium SER
les. During its spontaneous change
it parts with relatively enormous
amount of energy. The direction in
which that energy is expended may
be modified by circumstances. If
the emanation is alone or in contact
with hydrogen and oxygen gases, a
portion is decomposed or disintegrat-
ed by the energy given off by the rest.
If, however, the distribution of the
energy is modified in the presence of
copper sulphate, that portion of the
incarnation which is decomposed
yields argon. Similarly, copper acted
upon by the emanation, is degraded
to the first member of the group, viz,
lithium. 1t is impossible to prove
that sodium or potassium are formed
inasmuch as they were constituents
of the glass vessel in which the So
luton was contained; but, from an
alogy in the decomposition products
of the emanation. they may also be
products of the degradation of cop

We are not inclined to accept this
statement. any more than we were
the first, before learning further par
ticulars. 1t is not impossible, how
ever, that many now so-termed ele-
ments may in fact be compounds
In any case this second announce
ment has stirred up among scientists
the old discussion over the trans
mutation of elements, particularly
the metals.

CANAL SYSTEM WILL BE
TRANSFERRED JAN, |
Twin Falls, Idaho, News. J

The Twin Falls canal system will
be transferred to the settlers on jan
uary |, 1907. The Twin Falls Land
& Water company will finish the in
complete work as recommended by
Engineers Waller and Johnston. The
organization of the operating COM
pany has been sanctioned by the state
land board according to the terms of
the contract between the state and
the construction company. The nine
directors of the operating company
will be named by the Land & Water
company for the first year and will
include three representative settlers
The Land & Water company has
agreed not to vote the majority of
the stock after the first year, at the
expiration of which the settlers will
have six representatives on the board
and will thus be in absolute control
of the operating company, The rep
resentatiyes of the settlers, who were
present at the meeting of the land
board at which the transfer of the
canal system was authorized, are per-
fectly satisfied with the terms of the
transfer
1t was not to be expected that the
control of so valuable and complex a
property as that of the Twin alls
canal system could be accomplished
without a hitch. The representatives
of the settlers were not disposed to
yield what they believed to be their
rights and the company held to the
terms of its contract AS there We're
fair minded men on both sides, con-
cessions followed with the result that
the settlers gained practically every
important point. The officials of the
company were not disposed to be
stubborn and the representatives of
the settlers feel well satisfied with
the terms.
On one point only was there any
thing like a deadlock. The settlers
wanted to name the directors of the
operating company. 1t was shown
that this would be in direct violation
of the contract which expressly pro-
vides that the directors shall be
chosen by the construction company.
The Land & Water company could
so disposed. BY the. agreement
reached, the company will name three
representative settlers to serve on the
DOdrQ OF nine directors. II Has like
wise been agreed that the company
will not vote the majority of the
stock after the expiration of the first
year. When this time has elapsed,
the settlers will be allowed six of the
nine directors and will thus have
majority of the board.
The company furthermore agreed
to comply with the recommendations
made by the engineers regarding the
completion of the works This is con-
sidered to be a much better arrange
ment than that at first proposed,
namely, that the company should put
up bond or turn over an amount of
money equal to the estimated cost of
finishing the work and let the set
tiers complete the construction. AS
the agreement stands the company
will maintain it's construction depart
ment and go right ahead until it has
fulfilled every requirement demand
ed.
1t will probably be several weeks
before the organization of the operat-
ing company is completed. as the con-
stitution and bylaws of the company
will have to undergo careful scrutiny
by the land board

operation for the first time and the
actual start had been made. Yester-
day the stamps dropped in order that
everything might be in readiness for
the real start this afternoon but at
tnat time no ore was dropped into
the morters. The machine was stop
ped again and the min crew went to
work with a will, taking up slack,
oiling and adjusting and this after
noon at O'Clock the signal was Civ
en- to go ahead with the actual start.
The gates to the ore bins were thrown
open, the feeders began to revolve
and the stamps changed from the me-
tallic ring to the muffled hammering
and grinding that marks stamp mill
at work. All afternoon the work
continued and from now on the hill
about lie Montana will resound to
stops.
The first ore run under the big
crushers, as has been previously
stated, was low grade rock. There
are few leaks about the plant that
will be stopped up with the pulver-
lied rock and then the average ore
from the mine, from which substan-
tial dividends will be taken during
the months to come will be sent up
from below. passed through the big
rock breakers, up the long belt to
the ore bins and finally fed under
the stamps. 1t is the red letter day
for the Montana Tonopah and as Mr..
Alexander of the company said this
afternoon: eve could not forbear
footing our own horn little when
we made the final start" All Tono
pah joins in that footing and wishes
the big plant long and successful

JUMBO-FLORENCE LEDGE
EXCITING MINING MEN

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 26.-Leasers
down in the fiat on the domain of the
Florence G oldfield Mining company
are humping themselves for the big
Jumbo-Florence ledge, which has
been discovered" and already have
dreams of wealth to come. 1t is safe
to say, however, that they will be
very careful not to transgress any of
the rules and regulations set down
for them by the company, and to get
their extensions before they get the
high grade.
The excitement was started by the
Penn-Florence, commonly known as
the Winston lease, which has block
on the Cornishman claim adjoining
the Bee fraction. In this lease the
big ore channel referred to and
known locally as the Jumbo-Florence
lead, and which is said to course
through the country about Is de-
grees east of north, was tapped re-
Gently and drifting has opened up a
shoot of picture ore which is said 70
compare favorably with anything the
old Florence has yet produced, not
barring either the Reilly or the Lit
tie Florence.
The Penn-Florence caught the
ledge amidships on the $50 level, and
is now dropping down the shaft to get
under the shoot of ore. All the
neighbors are drawing lines on thor
maps, swinging the ledge here and
there, much after the fashion of the
neighbors of the Little Florence.
The Baby Florence, operating the
old Peer-Pugh lease, and the Queen
Florence seem to stand good chance
of getting the big fissure, and the lat
ter should pick it up pretty quick On
it's dip from the 2S5-foot level. They
are going after it, too, just as fast
as three shifts can do the work, with
less than forty feet to travel.

SENT TO GRACIE'S
 CONVICT FARM HERE;

Hot Springs, Oct 22.-Julius Os- triski, young white man, who was sent to Gracie's farm yesterday, can attest the truth of the adage concern ing the course of true love. Because
 he discovered his affinity on the Curve during the state fair and per- sisted in forcing his attention upon her, despite the objections of her family, warrant was sworn out for his arrest, charging him with disturb ing the peace.
 He was discovered in the office of magistrate seeking advice as to the best course to find his lost love, who was kept carefully hidden from his sight, and upon being searched a small revolver was found in his pos session and he was fined $50 for car rying concealed weapons. Unable to pay the fine, he was taken to jail and then to the farm. Ostriski was a "spieler" for one of the Curve" at fractions. The name of the young lady is suppressed by the authorities owing to her prominence.
