Arizona Commercial Outlook Promising. /.

General Manager ]. w. Bernie, who
spent nearly a week here in con-
sultation with the local management
of the Arizona Commercial, left for
Clifton. Mr.. Bennie has a high opin-
ion of the Arizona Commercial Copper
company's property, aud is confident
that the Eureka shaft will be In good
ore at 600 feet, which depth should be
reached by October l. The next level
below the 800 will he opened at G25 feet,
at which depth tile vein should be
well mineralized aud carry the same
nigh values in copper and silver as
ale found in the winze below. the 800
foot level near the eastern end of the
Black Hawk mine. AS soon as that
part of the vein rs unwatered, the
rich ore body pe.' srated by the winze
will be further developed. Here the
ore runs from to II per cent. in cop
per, and the ore body is thirteen feet
wide. The developments thus far on
the Black Hawk wien Indicate a big
and rich mine below water level. The
Black Hawk vein has been opened on
the 800 foot level of the Black Hawk
claim for a length of nearly 1000 feet
and where crOsscuts show a width
of forty feet. At the Eureka shat
it is fifty feet wide. On the Omega
claim, which adjoins the Black Hawk
claim on the west, no development
of consequence has been done, but
there IS every reason to believe that
the Omega carries the Black Hawk
vein its entire length. We under
stand it is the intention of the Ari-
IONA Commercial to commence the
of a smelter at an early
date.-Globe Belt.

Boys Head Cut off to Save His Life.

Born in New Orleans with two heads,
the presence of one of which endan-
gered his life, tUhh Bernard Murray,
nine days old, endured the unusual
operation of having one of his heads
taken of, and, at the Charity hospital,
where the operation was performed,
physicians now say that the child will
recover. The baby was born to Mrs.
w. L. Murray, The family physician
expected the infant to die imme-
diately, but contrary to all known
medical precedents, he did no such
thing. Instead. 1t started its develop
meut along the same lines that normal
children develop, except that the
second head appeared to grow in size
more rapidly than the normally situ-
ated Uranium. It's base was in the
back of the child's neck, and it grew
outward and upward. 1t was without
distinct features. but its crown had
traces of hair. After he saw that the
child might survive the first few days,
the physician called in other doctors.
and they examined the infant. The
result was the decision to amputate
one head. In the meantime the start
ling information that Mrs. Murray's
new baby had two heads spread
through the downtown section and
the residence could not contain the
eager seekers after information.
The child was taken to the hospital
and examined and the second head cut
off. The child was normally develop
ed, except for the growth. The second
head WAS found to contain brain
and to exhibit other evidences of be-
ing a distinct second head.

For Men With Money.

An investment in a gold mine is a
good investment, but an interest in n

1t is probable that dividends on I'm
perial Copper company stock will be
resumed before the end of the current
year. Last year in January ana April
two dividends of , per cent each
were paid and after the second dis
bursement payments were suspended
owing to the untavorable copper con-
ditions. In July the company showed
net profits of S2O,O from production
of between 100000 and 700, 200 pounds
of copper. Under the terms OF the
mortgage covering an issue of bonds,
theicOmpauY cannot in Il single year
distribute to stockholders in the form
of dividends more than Il per cent.
Bond interest calls for Sl2O, 900 PEI
annum. The Imperial company has
just commenced operations at its new
800 ton concentrating mill. The con-
centrator will eventually be enlarged
to permit of the treatment of 1000
tons day.

Wayne PursIey Killed by City Marshal.

One man dead and two men seri
ously cut, with one man under arrest
for the cutting, is the result that
goes on record as closing event OF
the celebration of Mexican Inde.
pendence Day.
All day long, the crowd jolly
enough in itself, were in and out OF
the different business places, nothing
but good humor and a purpose to Ell
joy tn; holiday seeme1 to be the aim
of the moving throngs, and the day
would probably have passed as many
other days notable for celebration in
this valley, had not mems angry
words led to a deplorable affray re-
sulting in death for one of the par
Elephants.
Along near 8 O'Clock in the even
ing, when the streets were crowded
with people returning from Athletic
Park, where they had gone to witness
the base ball games, a man was seen
rushing from the saloon owned by
Nat Wanslee, and known as MATS
Place" Another man came out of
the saloon door with his shirt front
covered with blood.
A crowd Immediately gathered and
the tumult brought City Marshal
Robertson from his place to the
scene of disturbance. The man who
was covered with blood was Wayne
Pursley and he had been stabbed by
Frank Campbell in an altercation
over some cattle that had been i'm
pounded.
When Marshal Robertson appeared
he was attacked by Pursley and
handled, he went to the
saloon to get his gun, while Pursley
was led away to await the arrival of
a doctor TO dress his wounds.
Purslev was taken through the
candy store opposite Wanslee's
saloon and was going toward the
house in the rear of YOung's grocery
store, when Officer Robertson APP
peared and started to place Pursley
under arrest. Pursley refused to
submit to arrest, and one word led to
another, finally bringing both men
together in d scuffle. officer Robert
sou drew his gun and fired, the bullet
taking effect in Pursley's body.
Pursley fell and rose again to his
feet and came after Robertson, who
ired a second shot which also en-
5ered Pursley's body. After this
shot, while both men we're struggling,
2ursley turned from Robertson, who
ired for the third time, .Pursley fall

ION surrendered to Deputy Sheriff

'iously gone for the same purpose.
