SOCIALIST is SHOT BY
IMAM He CALLED
"A SPY"
Miner at Goidfleld Resents
Inslnudti0n and Fires
Several Bullets.
TWO BYSTANDERS ARE
PROBABLY FATALLY HURT

Goldfield, New Nov. 6.-vinoent
st. John, representative of the So
cialist element of the miners un-
lon, was shot through the arm In a
duel last evening by p. II. Mullaney,
one of the most conservative men OF
the order. st. John accused Mullaney
OF being a spy and the latter pull
ed gun and began shooting. Two
bystanders, John Tenant and Dan
Kelly, were hit by flying bullets and
received serious If not fatal wounds.
Mullaney was arrested.
The situation In union circles in
GoldfieId has been strained to a high
pitch, owing to the urgency of the
socialist members of the union in
pressing their claims. There have
been a number of occasions when
violence was narrowly averted.
Talked Too Freely.
st. John, the principal represen-
tative of the socialist element, ha,
been very free in his statements con-
cerning the miners who opposed So
cialism and its introduction in union
circles. Mullaney has kept out oi
these discussions and his friends as
sert that II was his seeming indif-
ference that caused st. John to cal
him a spy, as there Is no reason tc
suppose that Mullaney has divulgeC
any secret matters.
st. Johns condition is not serIou!
and had not the wild shots hurt in
| nocent parties, only a minor charge
would have been made against Mul
laney.

WAS NOT ADDICTED
TO Use OF DRUGS
Detectives Are Working to Secure
Evidence Against Persons Sup
posed to Have Committed
Murder--Estate of S40O.
900 Left to Family.

New York. Nov. 6.-Slowly the
tangled skein of facts surrounding
the mysterious sudden death of Wal
ter Farnsworth Baker, the wealthy
Boston clubman, is being unraveled.
1t was learned today that the analy-
sis of the internal organs of the dead
man had shown not only the pres
ence of chloral hydrate in the stom-
ach but has proved that the heart,
kidneys and other organs were In a
perfectly healthy condition at the
time of death.
This flatly contradicts the death
certificate of DR.. G.. II. McFadden OF
Hackensack, who reached the Hurd
home in Bogota, n. j., after Baker
had died there. DIR. McFadden GER
tilted that Baker died of acute heart
disease and Bright's disease. Today
he admitted that this opinion was
based wholly on what Mr.. and Mrs.
Hurd had told him.
Only One Cause.
The detectives who were working
on the case today, therefore, were
able to get down to this one signifi-
cant fact as working basis: Wal
ter Farnsworth Baker did not dia
OF natural causes, but of choral
hydrate poisoning.
This left open the question wheth-
er the poison was taken accidentally
or with suicidal Intent, or was ad-
trying TO solve this problem the de-
tectives faced complex situation.
AT the very outset they found that
Mr. Baker had never been addicted
to drugs of any kind They found
he had led life of luxury and ease
but that he was invariably cheerful
and up to the very last day of his
least thought OF death. His finances
were in good shape. His fortune
was secure and he expended 1t In
small amounts. Indeed, he had sell
dom carried more than $25 or $50
around with him at a time. He had
been in the habit of cashing check:
whenever he wanted money.
Did Not Suicide.
1t seemed improbable, therefore
that he should have taken chloral
| either accidentally or with suicida
ed this drug and for what motive
This was the problem that confront
| ed the Pinkertons and the private
| detectives employed by Edward
Baker. brother of the dead man.
Today inquiry was made by Bak
| er's attorneys as to a mysterious will
This Will, attributed to Baker, !
said to bequeath the bulk of hi
| S40O. 900 fortune TO Mr.. and Mrs
Frank Hurd of Bogota. N. J., a
whose home ne died, and to Mrs
Hurds sister, Mrs. George w. Young
wife of the president of the Windso
Trust company. But the Hurds an
Mrs. Young both denied emphatical
| ly today that they even knew of tn
| existence of will, though they ha'
heard Baker say he Intended to max

Baker had told his brother month
ago that he had made a VIII.

In Praise of
 Calumet & Arizona

In view of the fact that the annual reports of the Calumet and Arizona do not contain an income account, 80 called, and in view of the interest at taching to all of the Cole Ryan prop critics, the figures given below, never before published in this form, will be Of unusual interest, says the Boston New, Bureau.
 Calumet & Arizona must be con- siLered one of the worlds low cost producers. It cost 5.1l cents last year per pound of copper, after con struction charges of every character, is noteworthy, and was probably bet tered only by Utah Consolidated, after the latter had credited to costs A very large recovery of gold and silver.
 While Calumet < Arizona is able to continue mining that high grade rock last year sent to the shelter, the com pany will he able to show large oper- ating profits at any possible price for copper. The average cost of the Butte mines under restricted output IS to. day not less than F cents per pound At Lake Superior the cost will prob ably average c'ose to lD cents per pound. The cost of Calumet X Ari- zona, therefore, shines by comparison

Prof. James Douglas
 On Copper Situation

Prof. James, Douglas, president o the Copper Queen Consolidated Min. ing Co, while at Globe sad. among other things, when interviewed by the Silver Belt:
 There is A surplus of copper in this 1 country at the present time, variOusly estimated at from 2O0O00,OOJ to 25O,. 100000 pounds.
 "The only effective remedy for this congested condition is the curtail- ment of production, a step that has already been taken by the companies at Butte, Montana, and Bisbee, Ari. zons, aud by feS producers else where.
 Already the accumulation of cop per has been checked and consump- tion is LOW probably slightly in ex cess of production.
 How long a time vii be required to use up the surplus stocks of copper in this country accumulated since last spring is problemsticsl, but l should say, ta4ing into consideration the good crops raised and the sound business conditions prevailing in the United States, that the accumulation of copper above the stocks ordinarily carried should disappear by mid winter and recovery in price of metal follow early in 1908.
 "A resdjustment of wages is to be expected in the copper camps and in all probability the initiative will be taken by the companies at Butte, in conformity with the agreement made by the Amslgamated Copper Co. nd Is employees when the present wage 2 ale was established. However, in my opinion, reduction of wsge- is the last remedy that should be reso.ted to by the companies in order to re- establish a sound basis of operations.

It was b. the merest good fortune that serious wreck was averted on No. at Maricopa on Tuesday even ing.
 This train carried with it the Phoe. nix sleeper and after this car had been set out at Maricopa where it lies for several hours, until the Phoe- nix train departs, the through pas senger train was started on it's Cali foruis journey.
 In crossing a switch the front trucks of the diner took the main track but the rear truck went on the side track. The diner was apparently in danger Of heinz broken in two, but bel strongly built it withs.ood the terrific strain and the rear Of the car rose in the air. A chair car fol- lowing was also forced up in the air.

Moqui Indians
 Served Time

Eighteen Mcqui Indians, who have been confined in the prison st Fort Huschuca for the past year, were, ac- cording to the Tucson Citizen, taken back 10 the reservation last Saturday
 These Indians were sentenced 10 one year in the military barracks for insubordinstion. They revolted against the government when Uncle Sam at. tempted to educate their children.

County Must Pay
 Extradition Expenses

According to the Citizen the Pima county officials are very much excer- cised over the recent action of Cover. Kibbey in the matter of extradit- ing Diaz, the man wanted there for attempted murder at SiIyerbell some months ago.
 Kibbey claims that the county must pay the expenses incurred in bringing Lisz back !r.n Hsgdalens, here he is in custody. The board of supervisors, hoaever, refuse pos itively to stand for this expense, consequently from all appearances Diaz will not be brought back to stand punishment for his crime.
 The officials claim that as soon as Governor Kibbey puts his name to the eXtradition papers be makes the mat CT territorial charge, but the governor holds that he can issue papers of eztradition. and that tht case will remain county charge

 The Benson Press says last fall some l5, 900 acres of desert land were enter ed for homesteads on Qleen creek. about loo miles northwest from Ben son as the crow flies.

They have been designated ss "dry farmers but the n ajority of them are old-timers in Arizona, and knew wha, they were about.
 They were not disappointed. Wheat and barley, sown lsst fall. grew as such grain should grow. Vegetables iourished and the farmers .aw the,' were making good"
