SON OF JOHN F. FRANKLIN
He was About 10 Years Of Age and Had
no Apparent Reason for Commit
tim Such an Act

Saturday about noon, Toiu AID vi
entity was greatly shocked by the
snlcide of Mr.. Dallas Franklin, son of
Jno. Franklin, at his home near this
place. The father and son had been to
town during the fornoon attending to
some business matters. Returning
about noon they found dinner await
ing them. During the meal Mr..
Franklin had occasion to mildly re-
prove his sou. Young Franklin be-
came offended and retiring from the
room repaired to building near by
occupied by colOred family. Seat
ing himself near a table he drew his
pistol, 3S-calibre OF the Iver-John-
son brand, and shot himself just be-
hind the right ear, the ball ranging
upward.
The report of the pistol brought
the family to the scene and they
found the young man in dying con-
dition. He was gently removed to
the Franklin residence and Dr. Moore
was hastily summoned, but before he
arrived death had claimed its victim.
Young Dallas Franklin was the
only child Of Mr.. and Mr.. Jno. Frank
lin. He was about 10 years old, and
some 6 or Z years ago had been
thrown by horse and crippled which
he had never got entirely over.
He is of good family and many re-
latives throughout the county are.

his parents are prostrated with grief.

rightly thinks a jewel of a mine.
Shares in the later mine cannot be
bought for love or money. They
are never on the market.
In the early days Of the advanced
copper industry-begining with 1870,
say-the Superior mines were able to
supply all the copper used in the
United States. Montana was al
most a trackless wilderness then, and
Calumet q Heckla, Quincy, Osceola
aud Atlantic mines were the chief
source of the red metal. Then came
the beginning of electrical develop
ment. Copper is the bassis of all
electrical work. Without it, some
other metal or combination Of metals
would no doubt be devised as a SUBJ
stitute, but copper is the ideal metal
for electrical work of all kinds and in
it finds its greatest use.
Great as the Superior mines, are
however, they we're not adequate to
the growing demands made upon
them, and the search for copper was
pushed futher into the West. Natu-

into prominence. Montana now pro-
duces, though at much greater ex-
pense, 36.7 per cent, Of the total
supply, as against the 20. 6 per cent,
Of this section. The lately developed
mines of Arizona are close rivals Of
the Michigan mines, producing 1876

A WsIl-kROwn Independent Tobacco Buy
or Takes q Crack at the
Great Trust
DEFINES POSITION THROUGH ALETTER
Mr.. thomas 6allahsr 6Ivss Some Good
Advice In His Own lnlm-
liable Way

The highest price paid for tobacco
this season must be credited to the
Gallaher Company, which purchased
from Mr.. A. S. Spencer, of the Frog
Island neighborhoOd, a crop of 5, 900
pounds for 10, 10 and 2, good
price 10 any year.
la this connection the JOURNAL
desires to call attention to letter it
has just received from Mr.. Thomas
Gallaher, who is nearly as well known
10 Henderson as he is in Belfast.
1t appears that in writing of the
Princeton outrage Ope of the factories
vas referred to as being controlled
by Gallaher, Limited, and all of the
owners of the property destroyed as
being closely identified. the error was
Immediately made right, but it fur
nished Mr.. Gallaher with an op-
portunity for declaring in his letter
thst"We have been fighting the i'm
perial Tobacco Company ever since
they joined hands with the AT. Co.
on this side, as the trust yolicy is to
caush out all independent manufac-
turers'.
Mr.. Gallher goes on to state:
"This burning and destrying of
property is to be greatly deprecated
by all right thinking men as it viii
not accomplish anything il, when the
trust was formed, the farmers had
stuck to the independent buyers and
not sold their tobacco to the trust
buyers for 5 cents per 100 more,
which we have known them invari-
ably to do, they would not now be in
the claws Of the trust that they COM
plain so much about, and we would
strongly advise you. farmers to favor
the independent buyers all khe time
when selling their tobacco, otherwise

fscturer will be forced out Of busi-
ness, and the trust will have the field

most interesting pieces of engineer
ing In the world. 1t is in effect,
mine which has its mouth in another

Copper of the Superior region is
SO much searer pure than Montana
copper that the process Of smelling
is reduced to a very simple affair.
Travellers to the AnacOOda and Butte
section Of Montana have never failed
to remark the entire absence Of vege-
tation within wide radius Of the
copper smelters. Montana copper is
heavily inpregnated With sulphur, on
which smelling fills the air and kills
grass and ,rees. Somewhat peculiar
ly, it has never percePtibly affected
animal life.
Superior copper is always found in
a state approaching purity; indeed,
it is refined as thoroughly in natures
laboratory as other copper is after
long and laborious treatment. In
the camps here, there is little else to
do beyond reducing the ore to shape
in which it can be easily handled
and smelling it. 1t may be seen
therefore that Lake Superior copper
can be produced much more cheaply
than almost auy otter. The ore, re-
daced to coarse powder in the stamp
aad reducing mills, goes to the fur
naees and comes cut in the shape Of
billets and pigs ready for the trade.
Roasting" to expel the sulphur is
not necessary, for there is no sulphur
to expel; or, if there is, it is present
in such small quantities as to pass
off during the smelling process.

so seriously that they will die.
The accident was caused by a col

known as the Frederick special, with
a dead-head passenger equipment

Over 200 passengers we're aboard

slightly injured, in describing the
experience, said:

and make it as rapid IS possible and

accident, said: 81 cant tell how

Below we publish an article writ

The'below named mine was aban-
doned for lack of "nerve" and capi-

similar plans in the prosecution of
their work in this great field in the

Calumet, Mich.-Seme miles north
of this city, near a little body Of
water called Lake Linden, are the
Calumet & Hecla mines, widely
famous and in one respect unique.
No other miae has 80 deep shaft as
the Red jacket shaft Of the Calsmet
4 Eecla. THIS described briefly
in my letter Of last week, but it will
bear extended mentiea; much Rore,
indeed, than i have space to give to
it.
Imagine, if you caa, a hole in the
ground 244xl44 feet Inside its mass
i've timbers, and going down, dswD,
down until it reaches depth Of 4,
900 feet-ae resemblance to rat hole
about this. Down to solid rock the
shaft is built in strongly with bCick
and cement aud below the rock sab
stantially tinbered in the best GeOr-
gia pine. The shaft has six cem-
partments-two for hoisting rock in
What are known as Kimberley skips
ha7ing capacity of seveR or eight
tens to the trip; two compartments
for hoisting water and two for rails
ing and lowering men aud supplies.
Twas only on reaching depth Of
!, 3,260 feet that the vein of copper in
this shaft was iutersected. Above
and below this point the vein is
reached by means of cross cuts driven
laterally. The first cross cut is 2,
JOG feet below the surface, so it is
necessary for the mea to go more
than a third of a mile toward the
center Of the earth before they can
begin work. Below this cut the
crosscuts are made at intervals Of
sbous Zoe feet. In all there are 20.

p1oration by Mr.. Faulkner, who gave a
contract for ohia wood railroad ties
here before proceeding on to the ORR
ent:
''The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad has sent the manager of it's
tie and timber department, E. O. Faulk-
ner, on an exploring journey to Ha-
wall, Japan and Australia, to study
the eucalyptus in those countries, and
perhaps to buy trees for planting. The
Santa Fe Railroad has a thousand acres
in eucalyptus in California. which are
intended to supply telephone poles and
railroad ties. These are doing well
but it is hoped that Mr.. Faulkner can
find still better varieties. 1t is
novelty for railroad to be under
taking agricultural explorations in
foreign lands.''
