Dan Patch.

The great horse Dan Patch will be
driven an exhibition mile at the ter
ritorial fair on the opening day,
Monday, November IL. 1907.
Dan Patch is the most noted horse
alive today, holding the world S
record in harness racing and in ex-
hibitions1has a record of 1:55.
The eastern tracks have not been
favorable for fast time this season by
reason of almost constant rains, and
Mr.. Savage, the owner of this Won
dertul horse, knowing of this excel
lent track and favorable climatic
conditions, has agreed to bring him
here for less than is usually charged
for exhibitions in the east.
The trial here will be the supreme
effort of this grand horse for the
year. He is being brought here, not
that he may give an exhibition, but
that he may, if possible, break all
previous records. This is the last op-
portunity that he will have this sea-
son and all can feel confident that
the utmost endeayor will be made to
surpass all previous performances.

in 1906 is practically the same as
that recorded for the two preceding
years, an advance of 7.65 per cent.
being noted over 1905, for which year
the percentage of increase over 1904
was 6.7S per cent, while the 1904 pro-

At the request of the Mexican
Central Governor Creel has issued a
circular urging young Mexicans to
take up the study of telegraphy, the
railroad company being willing to as
sist them in every possible way by
placing them in the various offices
where they may study and gain ex-
perieuce not only in telegraphy but
also in all lines of railroad office
work. Applicants are instructed to
write to Geo. o. Perkins, superintend-
emf of telegraPhy, Mexico, d. F.
Telegraphy is one of the branches of
the railroad business that is filed al
most exclusively by natives except
as to the dispatchers and it therefore
offers exceptional opportunities for
them, more so than the train service,
where chances for promotion are
more remote. Wages were raised
from about 40 to 100 per cent. in this
line recently and now range from $50
to Sl75 month.

FIRST PAYMENT TO
CREDITORS IS MADE.
Overlook Opens Offices for Business and
Pays 10 Per Cent. on Claims.

November 1st at the usual hour the
Office of L. J. Overlook in the
Muheim block was thrown open for
business, and within short time a
number of the firms creditors were
paid the first installment of 10 per
cent. on their claims against the old
organization. Throughout the day
the work of paying off creditors was
kept up, and the books showed that
evening that almost half had received
a portion of their money.
P. J. Meenan, who operated the
special wire for the bankrupt organ
ization has been retained by Over
lock, because of his well known
ability and integrity. In addition to
Meenan an expert brokerage man
has been secured from one of the
large firms in Chicago and will ar
rive within a short time to take the
management of the business. Quite
al volume of business was handled.
1t seems now that Overlock's propo-
sition has been almost unanimously
accepted as the most feasible solution
of the big problem, of how to settle
the old firms Indebtedness. Many of
those who for time opposed its ac-
ceptance, and we're in a frame of
mind to throw the whole business in
to bankruptcy in the hope of being
able to make the stockholders make
good their losses in full, seem to have
come to a realization of the fact that
such a proceeding would be very ex-
pensive and would most likely end in
no ones being benefited at all.
With the 10 per cent. paid, and the
additional amount which will be paid
in ninety days a good start will have
been made, and it is probable that as
the business goes along the market
will improve so that the profits will
be adequate to meet the obligations
in full.-American.

Officer and Miner Engage in a Pistol
0uol

In a shooting affray which occurred
at the lower end of North Broad
street shortly after midnight Novem-
Der 1st, Jack Nelson was perhaps
fatally wounded and Oscar FELTON,,
the North Globe patrolman received
painful but not serious wound. Mel
son received two shots in the right
breast, one in the left shoulder and
one in the abdomen. FELTON, was shot
through the feshy portion of the
right leg, the bullet passing out the
upper portion of the thigh without
striking the bone.
The shooting occurred in a dark
portion of North Broad street in a
spot slightly isolated from the bust
ness district. So far as known it was
witnessed only to the extent of the
people in the vicinity seeing flashes
from the pistols and hearing the re-
port of fusillade of shots, perhaps
ten in all. The shots attracted a
good-sized crowd from saloons in the
neighborhood and from the tender
loin district. Nelson was found I'M
conscious, with blood streaming from
a number of wounds. He was picked
up and carried into an Italian saloon
about two blocks south of where the
shooting occurred. Surgeons were
summoned and he was later removed
to the county hospital.
After receiving a wound in the leg,
which knocked him down, FELTON,
arose and emptied his sixshooter, fir
| ing in the direction of his assailant.
Four of the shots took effect and two
went wide of the mark. Realizing
that he had been badly wounded
the officer, with the assistance Of
friends, reached a room over the
Acme saloon.
According to information obtain
able the participants had no rea.
trouble prior to the shooting. FeltOr

went away from the Jail, leaving hin
locked up over night. FELTON,, tt

walked from the saloon and con
tinued his beat up North Broad
street. As he left the business dis,
trict he was passed by Nelson. Bott
men were walking in the middle Of
the road. The shots Immediately
followed.
What took place in that fierce
fight in the darkness was told by
officer FELTON, as he lay wounded in
his room a few minutes after the
tragedy.-Globe Belt.

The Mechanical Pit-Car Loader.

In developing a machine altogether
new in its principles and its applica-
tion it is quite natural that methods
suited to the former conditions
should require some modification.
The mechanical pit-car loader en-
tered a field in which everything was
arranged with reference to the load
ing of the material by hand. Under
the old system of drilling and shoot
ing, the timbering and trackwork in
the rooms have usually been done by
the miner and the cost of this work
in a general way included in the cost
of loading coal. In some cases it has
apparently been figured that the
miner actually enjoyed this work as a
relief from the picking down and
shoveling. And as matter of fact
there is a considerable element of
truth in this idea. There are miners
who shovel up d 3-ton car in twenty
minutes; but the same man cannot
shovel three cars in an hour, much
less thirty in a day. A certain per-
centage of miners will tell you that
they can load twenty tons day con-
tinuously. They don't do it. They
do not load fifteen tons day con-
tinuously. Though many mine sheets
will undoubtedly show number of
men who load that amount, these
records will be opposite different
check-numbers from week to week.
This matter is referred to because
it suggests the reason for the leisure
ly car service that is common in
mines. The miners do not want
rapid service because they need long
rests between cars; and it is also
true that, in this time, they can do
the comparatively light work of
posting and of laying their room
track.
Now, the loading machine will not
load the coal any faster than the
cars are delivered to the room; and
unless the mine owner realizes this
fact he had better not buy mechani
cal leaders; for with mine cars de
livered on the hand-loading schedule
or turn" he will only get hand-load
ing results and the machine will be
idle four-fifths of the time.
1t is clear that successful meChani
cal loading of mine coal calls for the
continuous operation of the loading
machine; in which case the machine
runners will have no time to attend
to anything but the machine. Not
only should the shooting, timberins
and trackwork be kept up by Others
in the rooms in which the loader l:
operating, but the car service tt
these rooms should be as nearly con
tinuous as possible.
These arrangements are at variance
with the present methods: and the
difficulty in satisfactorily modifying
these time-honored mine methods
has so far operated against a com
mercial showing at all commensurate
with the capacity of the pit-cal
loader for lessening the loading cost
| Delays for want of room coal shot
down ready for loading, and waits OF
track and timber men have been FIRE,
quent, but the greatest difficulty has
been in the intermittent and uncer-
tain car service.-From article in

Haunted Mine With a Record.

Tom Borgus, a Texas mining man,
tells strange story of trying to re-
open the famous Muerta mine, which
is said to be haunted. The mine is
the terror of the Mexicans of the
upper portion of the Rio Grande
border, and they can not be induced
to visit the locality where it is
situated, much less enter its dark
grewsome shaft.
Borgus is an old mining man. He
made up his mind to take hold of the
property. He went to Maria, and
had no trouble in obtaining title to
the mine. He spent some time in
trying to organize a working force
among the Mexican miners of that
section. Not a man could be found
who was willing to go with Borgus to
the mine and help work it. Finally,
Borgus went over into New Mexico
and employed twenty-five Mexicans
to work in the mine.
In less than a week the whole body
of laborers were back in Maria.
They had deserted their work despite
the vehement objections of Borgus.
When questioned as to the cause of
their quitting the job, the Mexicans
shrugged their shoulders and an
swered "Spirits,''
Mr.. Borgus admits that a noise is
to be heard at intervals in the mine
and that it is very terrifying.
The ancient mining records on file
in the archives of the state of Goa
hula, Mexico, at Saltillo, are said to
show that the Muerta mine was
operated by the Spaniards more than
century ago. 1t was abandoned on
account of the mysterious and weird
demonstrations that were said tC
have occurred in the underground
workings.
, Efforts have been made at interval:
of every few years during the last
half century to reopen the mine.
In every instance the superstition.
Mexicans were frightened away OF
account of the alleged spirits.

YIN. c. A. will Enroll $4,000 Students

The students single educational in
stitution on the continent, aside from
the public school system, began its
seasons work this fall with prospects
of a remarkable new year. This is
the educational work carried on by
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton.
An increase of 5000 students last
year shows to some extent what may
be the growth this year. There was
a total of more than $4,000 students,
a number greater than the enroll
ment of ten of our largest universe
ties combined.
But this is only a part of this in
teresting and important educational
work, for there will be upwards of
325, 900 men and boys who will hear
lectures and practical talks and H.
900 will be members of educational
clubs. Seven thousand boys will
study, in classes at night after work
ing hard all day; 1000 or more
foreigners will be taught English and
helped into good citizenship.
All of the various activities are
aimed to help those ambitious men
and boys who would otherwise be un-
able to obtain the education which
they wish and the training they need
for their various occupations. To
meet these needs fully, the Young
Mems Christian Association has so
developed and adapted its work that
it is now being studied by educators.
In the larger cities the work is super
vised and directed by over sixty pro-
gressive and capable men, most of
them being college graduates with
special technical training.
The expenses of this work will be
nearly half a million dollars and in
asmuch as but part of it is met by
the income from tuition fees, the in
stitution can be placed among the
great philanthropic agents of the
continent. The students undoubtedly
appreciate all of these opportunities
for self-advancement, for whereas
college students pay from 30 per
cent. to SO per cent. of the total ex-
penses aside from equipment, these
students pay from so per cent. to 80
per cent.
The work is in every way adapted
to meet local uses, including manual
training for boys, instruction in rail-
reading problems for railroad men,
shop and laboratory instruction FOR
those men who wish to make them
selves more efficient in the trades, as
sistance for men and boys in business.
