STORM WRECK8 A l8O.rOOI
 SHAFT ON MINE.
From Thursday's Daily.

\. Maple. in charge of II. j. Gray's sheep and ranch interests in the Min oral Point district, who is in the city receiving medical attention for bloo poison in the right hand, stated ycster. day that heavy rain storm in his dis. trict, few days ago, wrecked the l6O-foot shaft on the Treasure Vault mine. caving it in almost to a depth of 100 feet.
 The storm was in the nature of a water spout, near the top of tho noun tain. It formed a torrent which swept down on the shaft, overturning the water tank, and with it's rush into the mine tore away the timbers in tho shaft, carrying them to the bottom in hopeless mass of wreekage The whim at the shaft narrowly escaped being carried to the bottom by the rushin 7 waters.
 Some of the richest gold ore ever mined in the district was taken from the Treasure Vault. It is owned by John Daily of Crown King and R. II. Row of this city. The damage is 70 great that the shaft will have to he entirely retimbercd.

WALKER EXPLAINS THE COPPER
 MARKET.
(Fron wsdassday's Dsily.)
(walker's Copper Letter.)


 The coppers have had bad week. Prices have declined and there has been increased evidence of liquidation by tired holders. Purchasers of copper stocks selling on n basis of is-ccnt copper, held on despite market dis. couragement. because they felt that tne market would discount the higher price of the metal sooner or later, and that even if prices did not advance there was little likelihood of any decline from those prices. Copper stocks, how. ever. have responded to the weak tone of the metal market, although copper is selling at n price that provides amply for all dividends now being dis. tributed. Other conditions have con. spired to weaken the market, notably the scarcity of money, which has brought lower prices throughout tn" market.
 Local sentiment is extremely bear ish, as it always is when prices de- cline. Traders are predicting much lower prices for copper stocks, and n few traders are selling the market short. Waen sentiment is in this con. diion it usually is time to buy stocks. Conditions are not so had as ia al legged, and will not be so bad. There is nothing now to indicate that the price of copper will drop to figure that will necessitate the curtailment of dividends, and if present dividends are maintained holders of copper stocks need have no worry.

GENUINE SURPRISE IN STORE
 FOR SULLIVAN.
(From Wednesdav's Daily.)

"There Is n genuine surprise in store for D. ]. Sullivan, president and gen. cral manager of the United Mines com. pany, in II recent strike in his Alaska mine, on his return from the east, - said Byron Smith, who is visiting here from Congress Junction, to a Journal. Miner representative, yesterday.
 He will see the largest and rich. est ore body ever uncovered in the IT ine,' he said. "The strike was made in one of the drifts on the 4OO-foot level and the paystreak grows larger and bet. ter with every foot that the drift gains. The ore resembles that of the Congress mine, which the Alaska par. aliels one.half mile to the west
 "Other mines in the district" con. tiIued Mir. Smith, "arc also doing well. Congress is turning out rich,r ere from its deep workings than at any time in the history of the great soll producer, and the Octave mine Is nov working with a full force of l25 min. CTS. The Rincon Mines company ls about to commence the installation of s large mill at it's mines, and it Is also reliably reported that the proper. tes of the Alvarsdo Gold Mining corr. pany, known as the Pools Guleh mines. have changed hands and that the new concern will start operations there m the near future.'

Monument to DaUiS
 
 on Capitol Grounds,

position to any bill he proposed to in troduce, their action being of retail iatory character
 Twice yesterday the Representative from Montgomery County sought to have this bill considered. without suc- cess. In sheer desperation, he de- cided to enlist the good offices of the Speaker of the House, and last night. whom the House was least disposed to consider any measure. MT Carmichael relinquished the chair and succeeded in having the bill passed upon. He said he would offer no debate upon tho question at issue. because he was cer- tain the members of the House would not oppose 1t when they fully under stood its import.
 5In this deduction the Speaker proved to be correct, for when the bill was once up for consideration, 1t was pass ed without opposition. It was imme- diately sent to the Governor, who promptly signed 1t.
 The bill has the unique distinction of being the last measure to be consid- cred by the Legislature of 1907.
 It makes an appropriation of $15. 900. for the erection of the monument in a plaza in the center of the ap- proach from Dexter Avenue. The bill provides for widening this approach to the full width of the Avenue.

Almost at the hour of midnight last night, Governor Conner affixed his sig nature to the bill that will place on the Capitol grounds q monument to the memory of the President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis.
 This bill was passed by the Senate some time ago. but for reasons that appear unexplainable, 1t was side tracked in the House. The only req son that can be offered for this is that the members had grown restless and in their fight to have local bills passed, objected to all the bills of a general character they could, and this bill was among them.
 Mir Goodwin. of Montgomery had championed the cause of this bill from tim etc time since it was sent to the House by the Senate. Unfortunately, MT Goodwin, in order to gain consld- eration for several bills that were im- portant to his county, had been oblig- ed to object to the calling of several hills by other members of the House. and these were principally bills called by members from Mobile and Bald win.
 These members, without any thought as to the character of the bill MT. Goodwyn sought to introduce. and without thought of being disrespect- fuI te such a measure, would oner op-

RESULT TO BE KNOWN TODAY Mississippi Committee
 Will Meet. VARDAMAN OR WnLAMSi General Belief That Contest is
 Inevitable. Fact that Second Primary Must Be Held for Governor Clears Way
 for Another for the sena- torship.

Jackson, Miss, At .7-The Demo- cratic State Executive Committee meets here tomorrow at noon for the purpose of canvassing the returns and declaring the result or the recent pri- mary held in this State for United States Senator and State officers.
 So close Is the race in the Senatorial contest that interest Is at fever heat and all sorts of eonjectures are made as to what tomorrow will bring forth. The committee will meet in the Senate Chamber at IF o'clock and representa- tives of both the Senatorial candidates will be on hand as well as those of the three gubernatorial candidates who re- ceived the highest vote. E. F. Noel, is apparently in the lead. with Earl Brewer a close second, but Charles Scott is not at all satisfied with the result and has announced that he would demand a recount of the vote, believing that 1t will show that he is entitled to more votes than he is given in the tabulated returns.
 For the past day or so there have been ali sorts of rumors of destroyed ballots and lost ballot boxes but when traced down these reports have been found to be without foundation. It was said that lot of the ballot boxes in Copiah, a county that gave Cover nor Vardaman majority of 251 over congressman tom 6nafp WllndmS m the Senatorial contest. had been burned. but the committee tonight certified that this was not so and that every precinct had been recounted and that every ballot was safe in the hands of the proper officials Chairman Lo- max of the State committed has been here for two days and the other mem bers of the committee will arrive to- night and the meeting tomorrow will be a sensational one. there being some predictions that trouble will arise in the event that compromise measure is resorted to. Both candidates are claiming that a canvass of the vote will show their election, Vardaman by a bare majority while Williams fol- | lowers claim 1t by at last 1000 MT. Williams arrived in the city to- l day but would make no statement oth- l CT than that he wasselected. Congress-
 man E., Y. Powers ot the coast district | is also here in MT. Williams's interest | as are also a number of his friends l from North Mississippi where Cover | nor Vardarnan received some of his largest majorities. and 1t Is said they have some very startling evidence in | their possession concerning the Var l daman vote in that section which will
 be produced in the event the Governor demands a recount. The Vardaman men also claim Irregularities and the | indications are that tomorrow's meet | ing will be attended with sensational | incidents.

Novel Matter Brought up fin Whissxy

 Washington, August 7-Internal Revenue Commissioner Capers today recommended the acceptance of the compromise proposition made by coun- sel for Joseph Wolff of Chicago, pur- chaser of the product ot a distilling company of Louisville. Ky, which is that Wolff pay fine of $2.500 and the whiskey recently seized by the gov ernment be released.
 The whiskey was seized in warehouse at Louisville on the ground that 1t con- tained caramel. The coloring matter was found to have been put in the bar reIs prior to their being filled in the warehouse. In this respect the case differs from the one now pending in the Supreme Court of the United States wherein distillers are contesting the right of the government to seize whis- ky in which caramel has been placed as coloring matter during It's manufac- ture.
