WOMAN DIES FROM
 EFFECT OF WOUND
DAGNAN IS REMOVED TO COUNTY JAIL WITHOUT BOND-DENlES sToUTLY THAT HE FIRED THE FATAL SHOT,

Maud Parsons the woman who was shot Saturday night in the Victor hotel. on Third avenue between Twentieth and Twenty-hrst streets, died at St. Vim cents hospital yesterday morning short1 ly before o'clock from the effects of the wound received on the preceding night.
 The woman Is supposed to have been shot by Constable John Dagnan of Beat No. 3. Blue Creek. The bullet took ef- feet just lover the heart and 1t was thought from the first that it would prove fatal. The shooting occurred at II o'clock Saturday night and the woman died about six hours later.
 John Dagnan, the man to whom the shooting is charged, was committed to the county jail yesterday without bond. He natly denies having fired the fatal shot, claiming that the woman committed suicide with his pistol. Judging from the range of the bullet. however, 1t does not appear possible that she could have shot herself The pistol was a large one with an s-ineh barrel and it is not believed by the police that she could have brought the pistol to a position in front of her so that it would enter the breast squarely.
 John Miles and Jose Baley. two white men, were also arrested yesterday on warrants from the coroner as state wit nesses They were placed i'll the county jail under bonds of $500 each.

CLEARED AWAY. Proper Food Put the Troubles Away

Our own troubles always seem more severe than any others. But when a man is unable to eat even a light breakfast for years, without severe dis tress, he has trouble enough.
 It is small wonder he likes to tell of food which cleared away the troubles.
 T am glad of the opportunity to tell of the good GrapeNuts has done for me-" writes a N. H. man. For many years I was unable to eat even a light breakfast without great suffering.
 After eating I would suddenly be seized with a terrible attack of collie and vomiting. This would be followed bv headache and misery that would sometimes last week or two. leaving me so weak could hardly sit up or walk.
 "Since I began 10 eat Grape-Nuts I have been free from the old troubles. I usually eat Grape Nuts one or more times a day, taking it at the beginning of the meal Now I can eat almost anything I want without trouble.
 When I began to use Grape-Nuts I was way under my usual weight, now I weigh 30 pounds more than l ever weighed in my life. and l am glad to sneak of the food that has worked the change"

MEET TOMORROW
 ID TALK OF CANAL
Coed Attendance Expected At
 Waterways Convention
SOME OF THE SUBJECTS
Some Delegates Will Oppose Tennes- see to Gulf Project and Others Will Speak For Deepening
 Waterways of State.

The waterways convention convenes to- morrow morning at the Commercial club rooms, and from all accounts a great number of delegates from all over the south will be in attendance. They will come in large delegations, by the dozen half dozen, in couples and singly. The convention is open to everyone and every one is invited to attend
 It's object is to give an impetus to movement the result of which will be the improvement of all southern waterways. Of course. the improvement of Alabama waterways will be the chief topic. but the purpose will be to work up an enthusiasm which will continue to grow until the delegations in Congress from the south stand shoulder to shoulder in demand for appropriations sufficient to make deeper channels in the rivers-channels that will be deep enough to allow of the passage of the largest river boats.
 Mobile is especially interested on ac- count of it's harbor, and splendid dee- gation will be in attendance from that city. Mobile is after both the improve ment of the Coosa and Warrior rivers, and the deeper channel at the bar Of Mobile bay.
 Some difference of opinion exists among members of the Alabama delegation as to just what waterways need improvement the most. Some want connection be- tween the Warrior and Tennessee rlvcrs, while others insist very strongly that this plan is not feasible and that the only method is to construct the BirminS' ham canal.
 Besides this great question a great number of other matters will also come before the convention of interest to the whole country

Campbell Comments on Fight.

As a side light on Brmingham's con- nection with the building of the code E. K. Campbell relates that he hap pened to be present with City Attorney Edward D. Smith at one of the con- ferences when Chairman Gunter of- fered to extend Mayor Wards term 10 January 1. 1910.
 This" said MT. Campbell, "the May or fatly declined on the ground that he would not allow himself to be placed In a position where he could be charged with working for a bill by which he would personally profit.
 "The sections at present in the code which leave Birmingham untouched were then agreed upon. It is my un- derstanding that Huntsville later on got section 199 tagged on to the bill. It has proved to be a sort of drag net, and is the cause of our present muni- cipal disturbances"

HUB STRIKE IS
PROVING UP BIG
Four to Five Feet of Rock Rich
in Silver and Lead at a
Depth of 800 Feet.

Arrivals from Milford bring the news
that the recent strike in the Hub conf
pany's property, adjoining the Burning
Moscow, is turning out to be most ina
pOrtant disclosure. The strike was made.
il is understood. in a winZe from the shaft
workings on the property and at a depth
of Approximately 500 feet below the sur
face.
Sinking is now under way in body
of ore that is four to five feet thick and
which carries from 1876 to 200 ounces silver
and from 10 to 90 per cent lead to the ton
While the management has always
Steered clear of releasing news concern
ing the development of this property
men who have recently been at the mine
and men who have worked there are
unanimous in the opinion that the prop
|erty is going to prove another bonanza
Just as big and just as rich as the Burn
ing MOSCOW. from which Matthew Cullen
mined fortune years ago and when Is
now more than duplicating its early per
formances.
The Hub property is controlled in the
east and the statement is made that the

until now it has reached a stage where IL
is ready to pass into ranks OF the real
mines of the Beaver county mineral zone

was calculated it would be and ii is now
simply a matter of opening 1t up ana
extending the mine workings 10 point
where the ore can be properly handled in
quantity.

MORE DEVEL OPMENTS
AT THE COLUMBUS CON.

AT the Columbus Consolidated company,
Alta mines probably the most interest
ing development at the present moment
is in what is known as No. D Wine, where
sinking is being done in a body of ore that
is averaging fifteen feet wide and of fine
grade This work is being done in the
western portion of the companyS ground
and all of l. 400 feet away from the man
developed portion of the property Su-
perintendent A. o. Jacobson is now san,
guine that the disclosures in the west
end of the property are going to prove
equally important with anything openeo
up in the east and the work is practically
proving up new mine.

at the Columbus or South Columbus prop
critics." said Mr. jacobson yesterday
while the present price of the metals
makes a difference of several dollars a
ton TO the company. as compared WIN
prices prevailing earlier in the year, we
are still making a handsome profit ana

fifty tons of product a day and, When
the metals improve in price, as we feel
satisfied they will do in the near future
the tonnage will be increased. AS

ANOTHER BONANZA
ON THE SANDSTONE

Goldfield, Oct 27-The strike on the
Sandstone, on the block which was de-
nuded of its visible treasures by Lotus
d Davis three years ago. attracted num-
Der of visitors yesterday, and Peter En-
bel, the TeutOn who found the ore shoot
was kept busy digging out specimens and
panning the dirt and quartz. In every
instance string of colOrs rewarded the
latter operation, some OF which were very
large, indicating values of several hun
dred dollars a ton.
The find was made back of what ap-
peared TO be the foot wall of the rich
ore shoot where the first discovery that
set the camp wild was made by James
r.. Davis. Close TO the surface, at the
mouth OF the glory hole three feet Of
the wall was shot away and revealed
shoot Of rich quartz. 1t is the belief
of Erbel and Webb Parkison, who are
partners in the lease, that it is d parallel
ore shoot. making west into the ridge.
If this proves to be the case the les
sees have a fortune in their grasp, for
Sandstone ore is always rich
James Davis said yesterday that he had
rot yet found an opportunity to visit the
discovery and could not express an opin-
ion. He said that the course of the ore
shoots in the Sandstone are very cratic,
and that frequently swells were encoun-
tered in the shoots which contained ore
of very high grade.
Among the visitors yesterday was Dick
Colburn, who was at the mine frequently
when LOTUS q Davis were taking out
daily fortune. It's the same truck -
said Colburn, land it looks as though the
boys have made strike"
Erbel was employed at the mine during
the stirring days of the bonanza leases,
and has long been firm in the convic-
tion that all the picture ore had not been
found. For several months he has con-
Quoted a close examination of the old
workings and the surface indications maxi
ing numerous paintings at different points
The discovery which he has made is the
result of this work.

SALT LAKERS HAVE A
BIG THING AT FARRELL

Captain o. A. Tibbetts, mining engi-
neer returned yesterday morning from
a several days trip into the Seven
Troughs country He went out with a
double purpose. one to make an exam
ination of the big strikes that have been
syndicate's properties at Farrell, two OF
three miles north OF the Mazuma Hills
ground. and to select the point for the
driving of new operating tunnel on the
Tom Boy company's ground.
Captain T1bbettS says the strikes made
at Farrell are about the best he has yet
seen in the Seven Troughs country and
everybody Is sliding out of MaZuma and
Seven Troughs to make locations and Sc
parallel veins opened on the Gordon &,
Kent ground. A shaft is being sunk in
fourteen feet of ore in one and through
five feet of ore in the other From an av-
erage sample from both lodges, mixed to-
gether, and with a purpose of giving
the ore the worst of it, If anything, re-
turns of $50 per ton were obtained. The
captain says there IS four feet of ore in
one OF the shafts that win run better than
500 ton. while specimens We're obtained
during his stay that assayed up to So 7GO
per ton.
The Gordon & Kent proposition is one
that is owned by just such a syndicate
of Salt Lal<ers as that which originally
made up the Mason Valley syndicate,
and it is operating on identically the same
lines. There is a membership of fifty in
the syndicate, or. more properly speaking,
fifty shares. Ten dollars a month is
ey has been used to keep Gordon & Kent
two expert prOspectors. in the field Their
discovery at Farrell promises to make
the syndicate wealthy.
