ENTIRE GUARD INTERESTED
In the Proposed Appropriation for
Improvements Of the Military
Camp in Ramsey County.

Every member of the national guard
of North Dakota is deeply interested
in the proposed appropriation for the
improving of the military camp
grounds at Rock Island, Ramsey
county. The appropriation asked for
from the state legislature amounts to
$4,000 and with that amount of money
to spend, improvements badly needed
could be made.

Frank H. Hitchcock into good posi-
ton in the treasury. He is said to
be slated for the assistant secretary

rotary. and that will enable him to
step into good position ON the out
side when the governor can get along
without his services. \ great many
Washingtonians place more reliance
in young Hitchcock than they do in
Cortelyou. They point out that he has
been the right-hand man OF the eX-
stenographer, and knowing that the
sole duties of the big ones are to afix
the signatures to matters brought up
and explained by their subordinates,
the suspicion is that Hitchcock is the
power behind the throne.
The usual fight is being made in the
house of representatives on the river

ent in his seat.
Representative Adam Bede, at din
ner given by the Momus club recently,
remarked that the cost of securing
nomination to congress was almost as
much as the entire pay for the term.
When asked for contributions to vari-
Gus charities, he had told them that
in order to buy a seat he would have
to levy tribute on large corporations.
and if they paid his way he would be
expected to serve them. He stated
that even church organizations had
approached him for contributions dur
ing an election. AS Bede has not the
reputation of mixer" with corpora
tons, it is fair to assume that the size
of his bank roll did not warrant be-
ing held up.
Washington is soon to have Bal

the young bloods something to fool

then someone high up" would lose
a good job. There are too many of
the senators and representatives who
are kept in Office by the influence of
corporations whom they have favored.
For years the minor officials of the
government have been fighting to have
a new naval foundry established at
Washington. Tests have convinced
many officials that the government can
make their own guns cheaper and bet
ter than can be furnished by con-
tractors, and why not the same con-
dition in the foundry business? 1t
is pointed out that the government is
paying Z u cents pound for big steel
castings that can be manufactured at
the navy-yard for four cents! But it
is safe bet that castings will be pur-
chased as heretofore.
The American Indian is not pass
ing as rapidly as some authorities
would have us believe. There are
over half million Indians i nthe
United States today. $4,000 of whom
wear civilized dress in whole or in
part. Indian families living in COM
Portable modern dwellings number
$4,000, and 10000 of our American
aborigines can read and speak Eng
fish. When the government first be-
gan supplying the Indians with houses
they would take possession in good
faith, but the call of the wild would
soon prove so irresistible that they
would stable their ponies in Uncle
Sans cute little structures and live
in their tepees. 1t is claimed, however,
that an Indian will not change his
house, no matter how large the fam
lily.
Westinghouse invariably look for
the ''joker" in any bill brought before
congress, and the pure-food law was
scrutinized very closely, but not until
this winters session has the enemy
shown his hand. The appreciation
for the agricultural departments ex-
ecution of the pure-food law is con.
tingent upon refusal of assistance
from state and municipal officials!
This would require at least s., 900, 900
but the amount carried is $650,OO0.
The attitude of congress in the mat
ter if this provision goes through will
be to get large amount of political
capital out of the law and protect their
friends by refusing to appropriate the
funds to put it into execution.
The newspapers are proclaiming
that Courtelyou will overhaul the
treasury department when he assumes
the secretaryship on March 4, but the
natives of Washington are laughing
up their sleeves at the suggestion.
The ramifications of the treasury de-
partment are so vast that employees
in one room do not know anything
whatever of the work of the division
in the next room, and to suppose that
the new secretary will know anything
but what trained employees tell him
is amusing. Government employees de.

HE WAS PHYSICIAN FOR THE DUEL|ST
Dr. Goodfellow Stood on the Battlefield Twenty-Five Years Ago Ready to staunch the Flow of Blood in the Purdy- Hamilton Duel

Ready to stauneh the flow of blood or ease the pain of a dying man, Dr. George E. Goodfellow, now physician for the Randolph lines, stood on the field of battle twenty-five years ago yesterday as Sam Purdy and Pat Hamil- ton of Tombstone prepared for their memorable bloodless duel just across the Mexican line near Ochoaville, says the Tucson Citizen.
 "I have almost forgotten just what did take place." said Dr. Goodfellow at the Santa Rita last night. "It has been so long since it all occurred l can t tell you what happened.
 But many Arizona pioneers, some of whom are now in Tucson, still recollect the Purdy- Hamilton duel, which did not take place because Hamilton refused to use revolvers that were furnished by Purdy s seconds, Purdy taking similar stand later.
 Dr. Goodfellow was there in the ca pacity of physician to Purdy. He was prepared to battle with death, for the friends of both men feared that either or both of them might receive fatal wound.
 As the result of quarrel, resulting from statements made by Hamilton and Purdy regarding each other, the latter challenged Hamilton to give him satis- faction on the field of honor, and Hamil- ton lost no time in accepting the offer to do battle.
 By agreement Ochoaville was select ed as the spot on which the men were to stand face to face, and with cooked revolvers each to try to pierce the others heart. Being in Mexico they hoped to escape punishment in the event of either killing or wounding the other.
 At 2 o'clock in the morning, Ham ilton, with William Millikin and John Burke as seconds and Dr. McSwegan as physician, was first to arrive at Here ford, where the men were to meet and cross the Mexican line.
 An hour later Purdy, with Judge Ed ward McGowan and John Sevenoaks as seconds, and Dr. Goodfellow, reached the appointed place, though the duel was not scheduled to occur until 10 clock.
 Separated by but few yards, the two duelsts and their followers built camp fires and slept for several hours. At daybreak they started for Ochoa- vile, the Hamilton party arriving half an hour before Purdy and his retinue.
 On level and verdure covered mesa, well suited for the mortal combat, Ham, ilton's second, Millikin, leisurely step ped off ten yards, while McGowan looked on watchful of the interests of Purdy. At this juncture the time-hon-
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1907-09-18

ored custom of attempting reconcilia- tion resulted in the time -honored fail. ure.
 Hamilton won the toss for positions, and took his stand with the sun to his back, thus forcing Purdy to fight with the glare in his eyes. To face the sun E slanting rays was considered to be to the disadvantage of furdy. As the challenged party, Hamilton claimed the right to furnish the weap- ons, producing two Colt s .45-caliber re volvers. They were brand new, having been bought the day before in Tomb stone to be used in the duel. | McGowan selected one for Purdy, but returned shortly with the statement that Purdy, whose left arm was weak, could not use the weapon, which it would be almost impossible for him to cock.
 Then Purdy's seconds produced two weapons they had brought, but Hamil. ton refused to fight with them, assert ing that they had been in Purdy's pos session some time and that he might have prepared himself by practicing with them.
 An offer from Purdy to toss for choice of pistols was refused by Hamilton, and this ended the duel, neither man being willing to shoot with the weapons brought to the field of honor by the other.
 No further effort was made to bring the men together and even at this late day many believe that the squabble over the weapons was but pretext of the two men to escape shooting at each other.

WONDERFUL STRIKE
 0F NATIVE COPPER
Great Body of Pure Virgin Copper Un- covered in the Three Hundred Level of the Madeline Shaft of the Big Lead Company's Works at Ray.

The Madeline shaft on the Big Lead property at Ray reached depth of 300 feet this week and penetrated the zone of secondary enrichment, says the Flor enee Blade. The results were so sur prising as to cause Superintendent w. B. Twitchell to climb right up into the air, and if the boys had not caught him by the heels he would have gone clear out of sight. When the first round of holes penetrating the zone of second ary enrichment were fired and the muck cleared out, the entire bottom of the shaft sparkled and gleamed with mas sive punches of pure virgin copper about 1000 fine. 1t was enough to make Brother Twitchell take to stilts. We saw specimens of this pure copper Tues day that would weigh five or six pounds each.
 If the primary or sulphuret ore bodies are not encountered immediately below this zone of secondary enrichment, it would be contrary to all mining experi- enee of the past, hence the shaft will be continued down as fast as possible.
 Superintendent Twitehell is now hay ing trestle work constructed across Cop per canyon for ear track from the Madeline shaft to the concentrating plant of the old Kelvin Reduction com pany, so that said mill can be operated on ore from the above named shaft. This plant will handle as much ore as does the Big Lead mill, hence inside of few weeks the company will be mill ing 100 tons of ore per day and will then soon reach the dividend-paying period.
