DEMfNTED man
WRECKS TRAIN.

BUTTE, July "a special to the
Miner from Great Falls, Mont, says
Because he imagined the Almighty
ordered him to do so, a crazed sheep
Lerder. whose name cannot be learned,
derailed passenger train No. 8 onIthe
Great Northern at Toledo station,
seven miles east of Havre, Mont. =,
Sunday morning, causing the death of
the fireman and slightly injuring a
number of passengers.
The train was proceeding at rate
of thirty miles an hour, when within
fifty yards of the switchstand in front
of the Toledo depot the engineer saw
a man throw a switch, the light
changing from white to red. He in
stantly applied the airbrake, but in a
moment the engine, mail and bag
gage cars and smoker were a mass of
twisted and broken wreckage. The
fireman was SO terribly scalded he
died ten minutes after being released.
The engineer. mailclerk and baggage
man escaped with but few bruises.
When the passengers issued from the
cars remaining on the track, they
found a demented sheepherder sitting
beside the switchstand, calmly survey
ing the wreck. He volunteered the
information that he had wrecked the
train-that God Almighty told him ia
do 80. The fellow is about IS years
old and apparently had been working
on a sheep ranch. He was sent back
toHavre on the relief train and is now
in Jail at that place.

MEANS CHEAP
II ELECTRICITY,

Thomas A. Edison has found q vein
OF cobalt, running from a point Just
east of Nashville. Tenn, across the
line into North Carolina. He will
make use Of this in the storage battery
he has been working on for q long
time, and the prospect is that he will
be able to make electric automobiles
within the reach Of people of modest
wealth. He wanted q substitute for
aron and lead in his battery. Cobalt
was the thing, but it was scarce. The
new product may solve the problem.

Especial Correspondence

Seattle, WASH, July 30. Among
the interesting exhibits of the early
days Of Alaska and Yukon at the
Alaska Yukon-P Pacific Exposition,
which will be held at Seattle in 1909,
will be the first organ that went into
the Northland. Organs and pianos
are common now in the north. but in
1888 mouth organ was the largest
instrument of music that the land
possessed.
Two Seattle men that winter pur-
chased an organ for about twenty dol
lars. They had money enough to ship
it to Skaguay and a little more for
two months food. They packed the
organ over Chilkoot pass taking q
month to do it, and another month to
drag the instrument to Dawson. At
that time there were over q hundred
new millionaires in Dawson, many of
whom had just married. Among the
women the competition as to who would
own the organ was intense. It final=
ly fell to the richest of them all, the
wife Of man who was also the most
in love. The bids went up by thou
sands and the organ was the basis Of
large fortune for the man to whom
the idea first occurred. The organ is
still in good condition and bears little
marks of its thousand mile journey
over ice and snow and mountain peak.

MARKET IMPROVES OVER RECENT PAST
The General Condition Holds Up Much Better Than
 Usual,
CBy Frank J. Graf.)

The condition of the market shows considerable improvement over that of several weeks past. and in general the market held up better than usual. As a rule there has been considerable selling and at the close there was heavy short covering which naturally put up the market. The public as yet has not responded to the advance in the market and are a little timid about getting into the market, aB- f though there has been a great deal of buying. The local market held well and better feeling is shown among the traderd of local stocks stocks. Superior & Pittsburg con- tinues to be in good demand at S14.25 to $1450, while Denn is being bought up at S9.OO and s9.50. American is firm at S9.0O. Shattuck is being of- fered at $27.O0 with no buyers in the market North Butte did not make any particular stride on account of the regular dividend, but held firm nevertheless. Greene Cananea holds well around S12.3S and unless thert should be more liquidation or forced selling the stock is almost low enough and ought to be bought up.

STRIKE AT JOHNSON

BENSON. Aug. 21.-A strike made by the owners of the Seherrer prop erty last Monday, at a depth of 45 feet of suIphide ore that assayed from 30 to 35 per cent copper, has been the excitement this week. This prop erty was bought by San Francisco parties some five weeks ago. Emile Allen is manager. They have shipped two carloads of ore already to the Copper Que sn Smeltsr at Douglas. and they have about two carloads more on the dump. The property ad- joins the Republic. which mine has been a regular shipper for the past two years. At the ScheTrer property a force of men is employed and a night shift has been put on this week. The parties owning the property are talking of incorporating and will most likely organize their company within the month.

Boston.-A Sears building copper interest, recently returned from weeks's visit at the Lake, says:
 Contrary to the usual state of at- fairs, I found very little of striking interest during my recent trip. There is at the Lake mines very great scarcity of both skilled and unskilled labor, however, and 30 per cent more men could be employed were they to be had. Notwithstanding the prevail ing unsettlement in the metal market there is no disposition 70 curtail opera tions or reduce the output, and this notwithstanding there is on the docks in the copper country between 15,000,- GOO and 1S,OO0OOO pounds of accumu- lated copper.
 ''The banks are in general over loaned and there is no present dispO- sition to loan more even on the high priced coppers. As usual there are many men to be found who are car rying copper stocks which show them an enormous shrinkage. Many of the western banks have had their money loaned on six months time in the eastern markets at high rates, these notes are now maturing and the West

 Stocks a Speciality.

Bisbee, Aug. 21, 1907.
 The market opened stronger this morning but trading is very limited and recovery may naturally be expect ed to be slow. Communication is still very unsatisfactory. Denn showed considerable strength and Wolverine is again the center of attention. The soft, mineralized ground it is going through, rises high the expectations of the stockholders. The friends of Empire State are greatly elated by the demonstration of the large extent of the body of ore they have struck, These low priced stocks will very likely make very good returns in the near future. We invite the attention of all to Gold Nugget. which is being offered now at 20 cents. Gold Eagle has advanced to 90 cents.

Bisbee, August 21, 1907.
 Very light trade and much change from the usual routine that has been in force for some time, tells the story today. Stocks held well and some showed a disposition to advance. Sup erior & Pittsburg was well taken around $14.25 to S1450. Greene Can anea is steady; Denn is stronger with little stock coming out under 1925. Shattuck holds firm around S2725. Black Mountain is strong and this stock can stand a fair sized advance before the offerings will become very liberal. East Butte firmed up a lit tie. Butte & Arizona sold today at 72 cents with good demand. We still think copper shares should be picked up on breaks from this level.
