NEW MEXICO IS HARD HIT BY
 FROST
Alfalfa In MesiIIa Valley Was Badly Damaged and Other Crops Were Ruined During Past Few Days.

CHAMBERLAIN. N. NJ, May D. Since the destructive freeze some four or five days ago frost has fallen al most every night.
 Only now Is 1t possible to judge with some degree of certainty the damage done by the cold wave. It can safely be stated that no fruit of any description is left. Winter wheat, which was well ahead through the early warm spring weather and was blossoming on seedlings, was killed outright and must be cut off; garden truck, including peas, suffered very considerably, and in many cases total destruction of early gardens occurred.
 Alfalfa seems to be turning yellow in patches. Many of the more ad- vanced fields in which alfalfa was forming the bud seem inclined to turn black since the bud has been killed. The growth is not only retarded, but the stool is whelping. The misfor- tune seems that the alfalfa is just a few inches too short to be cut with any profit and just too far advanced for horses to eat it off if grazed.
 The cold weather following the freeze has seemingly stopped sprout- ing or further growth and, taking it as a whole, the first cutting, which was almost in sight, is put back i've or six weeks.

IS MAKING GOOD
 SHOWING
New Company Operating Old
 Peabody Property In John son District Reported to Have Encountered Rich Ore.

The Bonanza Belt Copper Company, with offices at 20 Broad Street, New York City, Is the name of the company which is operating the old Peabody mine in this county, located in the Johnson district.
 It will be remembered that the Peabody mine passed into the hands of w c. Greene, about a year ago, at the tine of the purchase of the Fed eral smelter at Fl Paso, the Peabody mine being part of the smelter com pany's holdings in this section. It is understood that Colonel Greene has disposed of the Peabody to the Bo- nanza Belt company, Of which R. Allyn Lewis, formerly Of this terri tory, is the president and whose board of directors anH officers are com posed of bank officers and men of sue cessful mining experience.
 A prominent mining expert of the Warren district, who recently visited the Johnson district for the purpose of making an examination for interested parties, speaks highly of both the Bo- nanZa Belt Copper company and the Arizona & Michigan company's mines According to the Boston Financial News the Bonanza Belt company has recently encountered a sulphide ore vein, varying in width from six to eight feet and yielding g per cent cop per and about 4 ounces in silver to the ton. Old workings in the Peabody group produced more than a million dollars, in carbonat ore and the strike of rich sulphides. with greater depth. was the expected result of more sys- tematic development work. The News says arrangements are being made at the mine. under the management of Superintendtnt Brick, for the produc- tion of 200 tons per day, which will mean at the present price of copper S1, 100000 yearly or about. B per cent on the present capitalization.
 Bonanza Belt adjoins the Arizona & Michigan company's mines in which Hon. Steve Roemer and Mir. Pidgeon of Benson, are heavily interested, both properties being located in similar formation The railroad spur under construction to the Arizona & Michi- gan property will afford all rail ship ping facilities to the shelters and ef- feet 8 saving of two dollars per ton in handling the ore from the Bonanza Belt.

FINAL PLANS ARE MADE READY
 FOR SHRINERS
Special Trains From All Parts of United States Will Begin to Arrive In Los Angeles On Sunday.

LOS ANGELES, May 2.-Down to the last detail, preparations for re- ceiring the 30,00O visitors who will throng Los Angeles during Fiesta week and the Imperial Council of the MyGtic Shrine have been perfected. Early attention to the stupendous la bors assumed by Potentate NJ. Ii. Flint. the executive committee of Al Malaikah Temple and the Fiesta com- mittee of the Merchants and Manu- lecturers Association has practically 7 insured the success of the double eel ebratiOn. which is acknowledged to be the largest affair of it's kind ever undertaken by the city of Los An geles.
 On Sunday, May 5, special trains from all parts of the country, carrying the visiting delegates and their fami- lies, will be rolling into the transcon- fineutal depots in rapid succession, and from early in the morning until late at night the nobles of Al Malai- kah Temple and the patrols from this city and San Francisco will be busily engaged in welcoming the brethern and arranging for their initiation into the round of festivities that will be- gin on the following morning.
 One of the principal features of the convention will be the competitive drill of the Arab Patrols, there being about twenty-five that will take part Dressed in their Oriental costumes the companies will make an imposing and striking array. Each patrol av- erages thirty members. --.-
 Without doubt the biggest conclave of Shriners ever held will meet in Los Angeles this year. Last year was the time oriinally set for the con- clave, but the San Francisco disaster caused a big change in the program, and, given another year in which to work up the details of the entertain ment, the local Shriners declare that the event will have never been sur passed anywhere in the country.

PHELPS.DODGE CO.
 BUYS NEW PROPERTY
], H, Alexander DiSpoSeS of Claims to Big Mining h.
 tereStS-Good Showing,

J. G. Alexander, one of the most prominent mining men in Douglas, was a passenger on the outbound train last evening for his home, after having attended to the various de- tails in connection with the sale of mining property in Sonora to the Nacozari Copper Company, which is one of the subsidiary corporations of the PhelDs-Dodse interests.
 Just what price was paid for the property MT Alexander refused to state. but as it is known that the company has had the property under bond for some time past, and the showing was such that at the time of the expiration of the pond it was decided to take over the proposition, it is estimated that Alexander receiv- ed l good round sum for his holdings.
 The property which Alexander has disposed of lies south of the Pilares mine, about six miles from Nacozari. and at the present time development work has been carried on more to show whether it contained copper than to locate an ore body. A shaft 200 feet in depth has been sunk, and the showing was SO favorable that the PhelpstDodge interests decided to purchase the property outright.

DISPUTE LEADS ID A FIGHT
 IN MINE
Two Miners at Globe Probably Fatally Wounded in a Very Bloody Encounter Below the Ground,

GLOBE, May 2.-As a result of a bloody fight on the l2th level of the Old Dominion mine last Saturday the two participants are in a precarious condition and neither of them may survive. A strange feature of the case was the fact that the affray had been kept quiet until yesterday, when the sheriff and district attorneys of flee were notified of the condition of the men.
 The fight occurred Saturday alter noon, as the two men were about to ascend to the surface after ending their shift They were Oscar Hiatt, a brother of Road Supervisor Hiatt, and NJ. Metrovitch. They became in volved in an altercation while at work in block l3 on the 18th level, be- cause, it is alleged, the Slovenian had run into Hiatt with wheelbar- roWA There was a woTdy dispute and Hiatt told Metrovitch that they would fight it out when they got to the surface. The Slovenian, accord ing to his friends, did not want to continue the affair, but when the American insisted upon fighting St out M0trovitch said they might as well begin there. They were then few feet from the shaft and according to one story Metrovitch struck Hiatt over the head with his dinner pail. Then followed a fierce encounter and when it ended both men were lying unconscious on the ground, Hiatt with an ugly wound in his side from miners candlestick and Metroyiteh with a shattered skull. There are, of course. several versions of the fight, one of which is that Hiatt had used a drill in the Slav's head and another that the latter had struck the first blow with his lunch bucket, which had been previously filled with rocks.
 Hiatt was taken to the Old DOmin- ion hospital and placed under the care of Dr. Kennedy. It was stated yesteT- day that Hiatt had but slight chances of recovery as it was almost certain that blood poisoning would set in ow- ing to the condition of the candle stick with which he had been stabbed. Metrovitchs condition is not so sc riuos, although it is bad enough. Yes terday an operation was performed upon him for the removal Of several pieces of his skull and he was un- 'conscious ln the afternoon. He IS being cared for at his home.
 Warrants were issued yesterday by Justice of the Peace Thomas for the arrest of both men, but or course they have not been served, pending the result of their wounds. The war rant aainst Hiatt charges assault to do bodily injury. Hiatt is about 2S years old and unmarried.

SCOLDS EDITOR WHO PRINTS
 ]. ARTICLE
President Roosevelt Takes Dr. Albert Shaw to Task Over the Race Suicide Question Wants Big Families,

NEW YORK, May 2.-In letter to the editor of the Review of Reviews, President Roosevelt takes exception to certain statements made by Doctor Cronin in an article on "TRe Doctor in the Public School" published in the April number of that periodical, and takes occasion to renew his expression on the subject of race suicide.
 This writer states clearly, says the president, that 1t is an erroneous idea to assume that the average American family should have larger number of healthy children than the present birthrate shows.
 The vital statistics of state like Massachusetts show that there the average native American family of native American descent has so few children that the birth rate has fallen below the deatf rate.
 This of course, means race suicide, and 1t ought to be understood that if. after while there are no children to go to school, the question. of their health in school would not even be academic"
 Continuing, Mir. Roosevelt says:
 "The writer's statement that 'phy- sical defects go hand in hand with a large number of children, both in the rich and the poor is simply not true, as he could tell at a glance by looking up, for instance, the fact that athletes are most apt to be found in fair-sized families.
 Al he has to do, if he doubts this Is to study the effects of marriages with heiresses by the British nobility.
 "The greatest problem of civilization is to be found in the fact that the we'll to-do families tend to die out: the re suits, in consequence, tendency to the elimination, instead of the survi- i val. of the fittest, and the moral atti- tude which helps on this tendency is, of course, strengthened when it is apologized for and praised in a maga- zine like yours.
 "Our people could still exist under all kinds of induities in government; under a debased currency, under of ficial corruption. under the rule of a socialistic proletariat, or a wealthy oliearehy.
 ~All these things would be bad foI us. but the country would still exist [ But it could not continue to exist if il 1 paid heed tn the expressed or srlpliet teachings of such articles as this.
 These teachings furnish excuses fol every unnatural preventirn of cbili bearing, for every form of gross ana shallow selfishness of the kind that Il readily the deeDest reflection on tht dec9est discredit to American socia 1 life"

SMALL DAMAGES
 AGAINST RAILROAD Sued for $12,OOO, Clifton & Northern Will Have to
 Pay Only S830,

SOLOMONVILLE, AriZ., May D. The jury in the Clifton & Northern right of way case, on trial here in the District Court, returned a verdict de- cidedly favorable to the company. A number of property owners banded together and demanded heavy dam- ages for the land taken by the rail way, in all about S12,00O. The com pany set up the plea of offset to such good purpose that the ] ury awarded damages only in the sum of sS30. The building of the grade is expected to protect that portion of Clifton from devastating floods, and the majority of the property owners gladly donat- ed the right of way.
 The notorious Climax Jim has final ly succeeded in evading trial for this term. By making affidavits that he could not secure his witnesses the court granted a continuance until next term and fixed his bail at $2,500. This was a sad blow to the jail off cials, who were very anxious to get rid of very undesirable prisoner.
 The following persons have been taken to the penitentiary:
 Alejo Rojas, plead guilty to rob bery and sentenced to serve an inde- terminate sentence of not less than five years.
 Loreto Maese, and accompiice of Rojas, was given the same sentence.
 John Burton pleaded guilty to horse stealing and was given a one-year sentence.
 Pasqual Torres. guilty of burglary, sentence of one year.
 Tomas Jaime was given a life sent ence for the crime of murder
