MINING IN MOHAvE
A New Resident Tells of Recent
 Activities.

Brimful of accounts of legal com fabulous wealth as well as large and important mining deals of recent date Attorney w E. Ginder, a former resi- dent of this city, now of Kingman, arrived here from Mohave county last night on professional business, says the Journal Miner.
 ''MOhave county has some of the greatest gold mines in the world with in it's confines" Ginder said to a Journal Miner representative at the St. Michael. Among the largest transactions there recently is the passing of the title to the Holy Moses mines under bond to a Los Angeles syndicate. the consideration being s265.000, s12.500 of which has been paid to the owner. Mir. McKesson. McKesson discovered the property, seven miles west of Kingman, along the main line of the Santa Fe. three months ago. Although the deepest shaft on the ground is only eighty feet, the property is said to be the most promising gold property in the territory by mining experts who have 
 Negotiations were closed yester- day for the sale of the Gold Pass mine to a Los Angeles syndicate for Ia large amount The mine is the property of N. M. Richardson and his associates. It is located near Gold Roads. The ledge is said to be fifty feet wide on the surface, intersected by veins of ore several feet in thick ness that sample from s20 to $50 to the ton in gold.
 Attorney Ginder also said that he was one of counsel for plaintiff in the suit of Eli Hilty and his asso- ciates versus the directors of the Tom Reed Gold Mines Company, re- gently instituted to recover posses sion of the Tom Reed mine. The mine is yet in the development stage. but is producing S10,000 month above operating expenses.
 Suit was brought by Attorney T. F.. McClelland, who has formed a law partnership with Ginder under the firm name of McClelland and Ginder. McClelland was formerly assistant United States district attorney of COIOradO

MINER'S HARD LUCK.

Clad. in his diggin' clothes, and wearing shirt belonging to a neighboring miner. John Kelly. whose house. camp equippage and supplies in the Jersey Lily district were de- stroyed by fire Tuesday. arrived here late Tuesday night. says the Prescott Journal Miner. The house with it's entire contents, comprising supplies, wearing apparel and tools was en- tirely destroyed, the loss being esti- mated at $500, with no insurance. The cause of the fire is unknown. The stove was in the south end of the building but the fire appears to have started on the north end, all though the wind was blowing from the north, indicating that the fire was the work of an incendiary. That part of the house in which the stove was located was the last to bum down.
 Kelly left his camp, located within 100 yards of the Jersey Lily hoisting plant, at o'clock Tuesday morning for the tunnel on his Hearst group. half a mile distant. He returned at 11:3O o'clock and on nearing the place, saw the house enveloped in flames. He made determined but futile effort to quench the fire, which the buildings and it's con- tents, but was only successful in keep ing it from spreading to the forest.
 After the burning embers had been extinguished he left for the camp of a miner a short distance away, where he borrowed a shirt and came to o;t talxy hic trunk taining his wearing apparel, was stored in a hotel in this city. Kelly is an old time miner of the county and has been engaged in the devel- opment of the Hearst group of mines, which he located some years ago.

PUBLIC BLAMED FOR
 RAILWAY KILLINGS
Julius Kruttschnitt of Hartman Sys- tenn Says Attacks on Railroads Have Destroyed Discipline.

New York, June 25.-Special cores pondence of The Republican.-"Al- though the total number of persons killed and injured on American rail roads foots up an appalling figure,t he latest report of the Interstate Com merce commission showing 1O,61S kill ed and 97,7S6 injured during the year. it is not true as generally supposed that conditions are growing worse in stead of better says Mir. Julius Kruttschnitt who is Harriman's right hand man in the management of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific roads and is recognized as one of the ablest operating men in America.
 "On the railroad with which I am most familiar says Mir. Kruttschnitt, the Union Pacific, not only the per centage of accidents. but also the act ual number, has been reduced. In 1905 the number killed of all classes was IA; in 1907 it was 105. The number injured was reduced from 1883 in 1906 to 1,104 in 1907. At the same time the number of passengers carried increased by nearly 13 percent. That is to say this reduction in acci- dents occurred in the face of an in crease in traffic equal to 1S2,523,O36 passengers carried one mile. The betterment was due as much to the higher efficiency of the men as to the greater use of safety appliances, all though on these devices the company has expended in the past two years 3,042, ,309."
 That the public is responsible for more accidents than the railway com panies is the statement made by Mir. Kruttschnitt and backed up by sta tistics which he produces in an article on this subject appearing in the July number of Appleton's magazine. Talk ing the figures of fatal accidents as reported by the Interstate Commerce Commission he finds that only PIP of those killed by railroads of the cOun- try were passengers on tra ins while 5,3S1, or considerably more than half the total. were trespassers-person walking on the tracks, hoboes beating their way and others jumping on or off trains in stealing rides. This is a condition which MT. Kruttschnitt be- lieVes calls for action in the more viz orous enforcement of rules and laws against trespassing on railway proper ty and perhaps for the strengthening of these laws. He quotes the railroad commission of Indiana as announcing it's purpose to make recommendations for decreasing the number of accidents from this cause perhaps by the enact ment of laws controlling on English railways, which require signs at eros sings warning travellers to turn either to the right or left on the railways and bulletins in the passenger depots. naming offenders and the fines and punishments imposed for trespassing on the tracks,
 Turning from accidents due to care lessness or violations of law on the part of members of the general public to those involving trains the Appleton article shows on the authority of the
Arizona republican., 1908-07-05

Interstate Commerce Commission. that 75 per cent of train accidents are due to disobedience of rules and negligence on the part of employees For this too, Mir Kruttschnitt holds the public to some extent responsible. The contin- ued abuse and repeated legislative at tacks on that should prevail among employees and he quotes a railway worker as saying, Tn some way we have got it into our heads that the rules are permissive not positive. As a matter of fact we, the employees, are bigger than the rules.
 Discipline and consequent efficien- cy in our army and navy would be absolutely destroyed if all officers from the commander-in-chief down were indiscriminately condemned and held up to public excertatiOn," MT Kruttschnitt declares. Under such conditions it would not be long before the petty officers, privates, and sail ors would look on thier officers as their worst enemies; they would be- come disloyal, faithless in the dis charge of duty, and inefficient in guarding the interests intrusted to them.
 ,''The army of railroad employees is in a demoralized condition, and, as re- suits show, is inefficient in safeguard ing the life and property entrusted to it. What is the remedy? Simply that if our employees once realize that the responsibility for the discredit now resting on the operation of American railroads is not one which can be placed entirely on their officers. but that they themselves must assume a large share of it, joint effort and cor dial cooperation to remove the load of joint discredit must necessarily fol low
 "The fact cannot be denied that the efficiency of railroad employees has deteriorated in the past few years And this deterioration can not be compensated. A railroad is much more dependent upon it's hu- man than upon it's material equip ment for safe and efficient opera ton. No matter how generously ev- cry material equipment is provided. how lavishly capital is expended for improvement of roadbed. additional side tracks, terminals. safety devices. and the like, the outlay is useless unless the road is efficiently man ned. It is therefore altogether re- grettable that the attitude of our employes has been changed. That it has been changed from loyalty and consideration to indifference if not to disloyalty, no observer will deny. And the influence which has brought about this change is unquestionably the present state of public opinion which condemns all corporations in discriminatory"
 As a remedy for this state of affairs MT. Kruttschnitt rpOposes, in his Appleton article, that greater publicity be given to the investiga- tions that are conducted to deter mine the causes and to place the blame for accidents. He points to that the Hartman system now pub fishes an Accident Bulletin in which the results of all such investiga- tions are reported fully. In addition the roads conduct a series of sur prise tests to determine whether their men are observing the rules in regard to signals. The results are these tests are published and the employees who violate the rules are disciplined whether accidents result or not. The difficulty is that the
Arizona republican., 1908-07-05

public does not support the efforts of railway officials to enforce the strict discipline that is necessary and in many cases discipline is re- faxed out of deference to public sen timent. Employees and petty officers who are the ones cognizant of breaches of rules fear to report them.
 The remedy lies in an aroused public opinion on this subject" says MT Kruttschnitt No one man and no body of men in this country is bigger than public opinion. At pres ent the railroads cannot enforce thoroughgoing discipline. am aware. as every railroad official is. that many minor cases are passed over The moment public opinion changes and shows a willingness to support officials in enforcing vigor- ous discipline, we shall see the change recorded in high efficiency and a lower death rate. The public must discriminate between the bad and the good in passing judgment on corporations and theiro fftcers. Wholesale disapproval breeds whole sale disloyalty in the industrial army serving them. While not abating it's condemnation of abuse or relaxing it's determination to correct them. public opinion must in the exercise of it's determination give the sup port of it's all-powerful opinion to the earnest efforts of railroads to improve discipline, increase safety and generally raise the standard of service
