SENATOR
CARMACK SHOT
DEAD ON STREET
Killed by Nashville Lawyer
While Speaking with New
a York Woman.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. TO-
Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, who was
with his son, Robin Cooper when the
latter shot and killed Senator Carmack,
was brought before Squire Levine to-
day. Cooper was charged with murder
and carrying concealed weapons. He
waived examination, and was remanded
to Jail without bond.
Warrants were sworn out today
against Robin Cooper, who killed Car
mack, charging him with murder and
CARRYING concealed weapons. He is
still at the hospital, and it is not known
when he viii appear for preliminary
examination.
Senator Carmacks body will arrive
at Columbia, his nome. late today, ac-
companied by his wife and number
of close friends. The funeral services
will be held tomorrow. Bishop e. E.
Hoss, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South officiating.
The shooting was the climax to q
series of editorial attacks made by the
Nashville Tennesseean, Carmack s
paper, against the elder Cooper, who
was one of the leaders against the
Statewide prohibition movement.
Colonel Cooper and his son were on
their way to the Governors mansion
yesterday when they encountered Car
mack on Vine street a block from the
State capitol. Mr. Carmack was on his
way home. Mrs. Charles H. Eastman,
the nearest eye witness. says Mr.. Car
mack met her and her cousin, Mrs. J..
M. Eastman, of New York, smiled,
raised his hat and said:

remark to him as he stood with his hat

l heard an old voice (you can tell an
old voice from a young one) say:
We've got you, all right, sir; we've got
the drop on you
Senator Carmack raised his eyes
and hinched as he looked past me. He
put back his hat, reached behind him
and sprang toward the outside of the
pavement to get clear of me, and the
same voice from behind me said: You
dastardly coward! You are hiding be-
hind a woman, are your"
Mrs Eastman's account of what fol-
lowed is somewhat confused but she
said she saw Mr. Carmack lurch and
fall into the gutter after trying to hold

but says she did not see Mr.. Carmack
shoot.
1t is claimed that young Cooper fired
three shots and Carmack two. Cooper
was wounded in the right shoulder, and
another bullet passed through his left
coat sleeve.
After the shooting Colonel Cooper put
his arm abount his wounded son and
led him to an infrmary a few doors
away. He was later taken to ST.
Thomas's Hospital. Colonel Cooper
gave himself up, saying he did not fire
a shot, and he preferred not to ask for
bail until he shows at the preliminary
investigation he is entitled to it.
Three bullets buried themselves In
Carmack's body. Friends of the Coop
ers claim Carmack drew his pistol and
fired first.

yesterday with burglars on his return

The bravery of the little fellow was

shortly after o'clock, and, finding the

'There is q burglar in my aunt's

Garrity showed the way through the
alley and the officers told the boy to
climb through the bedroom window,
and if there was any one in the room
for him to yell John"
The young lad fearlessly did as he
was tod but the residents across the
street say that three men went out of
the front door while little Bart was
searching his aunt's rooms for the bur-
glar whom he had seen.
There was all the evidence that Bart
told a straight story. Mrs. Thompson,
who lives on the floor above the Col

door while the police officers were at
the rear. There was nothing taken
from the house.

it certainly looks good.

WONDER RECOVERING FROM
ITS LONG DULL PERIOD

An experienced mining a Of San

but it is understood that he does not
intend to work it until a customs mill
is established here. He has recently
had the lease extended by the Gibraltar
Investment company of Denver, on the
statement that this mill project is well
under way.

n. A. Darcy, who has been identified
with Wonder district since the begin

Wonder View claims, and will shortly
give a contract for work on the Nevada
Wcnder Mining and Milling company's
property.
Mr.. Darcy firmly believes that q
custom mill will shortly be installed in
this district, and when this is assured
he will open up some of his properties
and begin at once the production of
milling ore, of which he says he has a
very large tonnage. He has great faith
in the future of Wonder district, and is
taking care of his properties with the

turns in the near future. He is one OF
the directors of the Jackpot Consol

Two inches of ore that runs $4,000 to
the ton was struck at Gold Circle this
week on the Esmeralda claim. This is
the greatest ore value that this district
has seen, and the excitement has
reached fever heat. This is not con-
sidered to be the best of the news

Those in charge of the property of
the Round Mountain Sphinx Mining
company are more than pleased with
the developments which have gone for
ward during the past w months, says
the Nugget.
At the present time twenty-three
men are regularly OF the payroll while
extras are constantly being called on
for additional work which must be done
so that the average number of men
constantly employed is not far from
thirty.
The men are working in different
parts of the mine and have three
breasts of ore which they are breaking
to keep the mill supplied.
One force of men is at work on the
big new WINE which is being sunk
from the 110-foot to the 200-foot level,
This is all in ore which will average
from twelve to fifteen dollars and the
ledge is approximately about five feet
wide.
From an intermediary level another
force of men are breaking into an up
raise which Treasurer John +. Fryer
stated was in excellent ore and which
he believes to be the same ledge as the
one in the winze mentioned above, but
a different ore shoot.
The third point at which the ore is
being mined is from a new upraise
from the 40 foot level from whence as

Occasinally some sort of information
leaks out regarding the proposed Ne
vada Wonder mill which leads one to
believe that it will shortly be installed.
A resident of Wonder, now in Reno,
writes to the Wonder News that he re-
Gently met a gentleman there who in
formed him that his firm, dealers in
mining machinery, had been requested
to furnish fgrres on a contract to trans
port 400 tons of machinery from Tono-
pah to Wonder. 1t is known that the
principal owners of the Nevada Wonder
have an idle mill in Tonopah, and it is
supposed that tests have proved that
this mill is capable of handling the
Wonder ore, which is very similar to
that at Tonopah. Information has also
been received from Tonopah to the eff
feet that a freighting firm there has
also been asked to furnish figures for
hauling the mill from that point to
Wonder.
Lease Improving.
Twelve inches of ore, running be
tween 5000 and 5000 to the ton, is what
Messrs. Flynn and Horgau are working
in now on their lease No. IL of the
Queens group. The vein which they
have followed from the surface down
has improved with depth. At the sur
face it was but four inches wide; now
it is a foot, and still widening. Flynn
and Horgan know shipping rock wher
they see it, and have therefore paic
but little attention to assays. They
have had only two made recently, one
reaching 5000 and the other running
1885 to the ton. The leasers havt
shipped some ore to the smelters, but
as yet have not figured out what the
returns will be. They are satisfied
that they have a good thing and fol
the present are bending their energies
in getting out the ore rather than figur
ing what their probable income will be
They are satisfied as to that.
1t is probable that other leases viii

says have been returned giving values
ranging from $25 to 1896. This up
raise starts from a point directly above
the new winze first mentioned.
Mr.. Fryer stated that he expected
the mill return for the first half of the
current month to be a big one-in fact
it would not be a surprise if it came in
the nature of a record breaker. High
grade streaks are being constantly en-
countered which lend to raise the reg
ular average of the ore bodies being
worked.
That the Sphinx mine is no longer a
prospect but a mine in fact is evidenc-
ed by the statement made by Mr.. Fryer
that he estimated there was in the
~neighborhood of $4,000 feet of work
done up to the present time.
At the mill an addition has been
built on the south side which will be
used as an assay room and office and
will be equipped with all the appara-
tus necessary to convert the amalgam
from the plates into gold bricks. Sup
erintendent George Weber will also
have his quarters in the new annex.
Indians are hard at work hauling in
the supply Of wood which will be used
during the winter in the mill furnace.
Mr.. Fryer has made no plans about
returning to New York and contem-
plates remaining in Round Mountain
