CARBOL|C ACID
ENDS LIFE OF
JOHN BRESL|N
Little Doubt of Suicide-De-
ceased Stationery Engineer
for C. & A.-No Cause for
Death Learned.

John Breslin, a stationery engineer
for the G. & A. company, died at the
c. & A. hospital about IL O'Clock last
night from the effects of dose of car
boiic acid. Breslin was hurried to
the hospital from ais room immediate
ly after his condition was discovered,
frothing at the mouth and in fearful
agony. With every symptom of pois-
oning from carbolic acid, Breslin, be-
tween gasps, denied again and again
that he had taken poison, or that he
had any desire to end his life.
Breslin was about thirty-six years of
age, unmarried, a German by birth
and had been In the camp for at least
pwo years. He was formerly employ
ed as pump man at the Briggs shaft
and roomed on Clawson Hill, where
ne was taken from last night. In
Quiry at his rooning place failed 10
assign any reason for him TO have at
tempted his own life.
DR.. n. c. BledSoe, of the c. & A
star, was called to Breslin's room
about O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Breslin was writhing in the bed with
cramps, but failed 10 give any reason
for his being in that condition. Dr.
Bledsoe made an examination, and
noticed burned mark from his mouth
to his chin. Upon examining further
he also found the tongue and mouth
burned by caustic of some kind and
Immediately suspected a self-admin-
istered dose of caTbolic acid. This
Breslin enphatically denied, stating
that ne had drank nothing but a
glass of beer for several hours. A
search of the premises failed to find
q bottle which might have contained
poison. ~-&,.-~<y
The usual antidotes were admins
tered, and Breslin became easier for
a short time. At O'Clock, however.
the physician was again sent for, and
found him to be in pretty bad shape
but after a short time responded to
treatment and seemed much better.
At 9 O'Clock he suddenly became much
worse, and was soon after taken to
the hospital for better care.
At IL O'Clock last night he was I'M
conscious, hothing at the mouth, and
apparently with no hope of recovery.
In lucid moments he still denied that
he had taken poison of any kind, al
though the physicians in attendance
said there is no doubt whatever that
ne was suffering from carbolic acid
poisoning. Death ensued shortly be-
fore 1880 p. m.
Justice J. W. Hogan was summoned
and jury viewed the remains al the
Palace undertaking parlors last night.
1t was noticed that the deceased, who
was a fine specimen of manhood, al
though rather inclined to stoutness,
was clearly shaved. The acid marks
were very plain both on his chin and
in his mouth. An autopsy will be
held this morning and an inquest held
this evening at 6 O'Clock in Justice
Hogan's office.
Every indication points to suicide

GOOD PROSPECT
IS LOCATED BY
BISBEE MEN
Flynn and Seed Back from Trip
In Yavapai Where They Be-
lieve Ives Peake Will De-
velop Well.

Charles Flynn and Dan B. Seed ar,
back in Bisbee from a prospecting toul
on which they started March Is last
On their trip they covered 1900 milei
between Bisbee and the western par
| of Yavapai county. The two mer
travelled by wagon outfit with two
horses, bringing the team back in good
shape. They struck some fierce
storms, on the way back especially
and on their trip prospected through
Coehise, Pinal, Maricopa. Mohave and
YsYapai counties
The two men located a group OF
claims in Yavapai county which give
all indications of being a valuable gold
property. II is a continuation of the
Big Stick company's ledge on the
Santa Maria river in Yavapai county
The Big Stick is a noted property in
the territory, one of the best gold
mines in the county and Yavapai this
year will lead all counties of the ter
ritory in gold production. The Big
Stick company is at present working
y men in the mine. A % stamp mill
is being erected and the management
expects to have the plant in operation
by the first of the present year. The
ore of the Big Stick averages between
$500 and $1,000 a ton gold and is from
five to seven feet in width. The group
of claims located by Flynn and Seed
they called the Ives Peak group, be-
ing right at, the foot of Ives Peak. The
ore, it is stated, will run about the
same average as that from the Big
Stick mine.
The claims are located for a num-
Der of Bisbee capitalists who comprise
the Arizona Prospecting Company. 1t
is the intention of the company to de-
veIop the property.
Flynn and Seed came back by way
of the Santa Rita mountains. They
say that country has fine prospects,
but there is little doing at present
There are a few Mexicans and pros
pectors working at the present time,
doing little placer mining, prospect
ing and developing.
To a reporter for the Review Flynn
said yesterday: This camp is the
livest one in the territory. The peo-
pie of Bisbee don't knew what good
town they have. They would only
need to see business conditions in
other towns and cities of Arizona to
appreciate what good times are. They
are all dead ones compared with Bis
bee. The claims We located I have
every reason to believe will turn out
valuable properties. They are in fine
country and the ledge is a continue
ton of that from the Big Stick. which
is a proven property. Yavapai is de-
stined. | think to become a famous
gold country and l believe We have
located a mine that viii help to make
its reputation greater. 1t is thirty
two miles from a connection with the
Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroad,
but is easy OF access.
While we were in Yavapai it was
fearfully hot. but coming back We
struck the storms. On Monday after
noon when it rained so hard in Bisbee
we were On the outskirts Of the storm
at Hereford. The storm as near as l
could judge had a width or length of
about fifty miles, but Bisbee seemed
to be the center. We started home
on August ! and arrived in Bisbee on
evening without mishap."

(By George H. Allen.)

1t must be admitted that the average
mining camp does not boast of condi
lions that go to make a healthy com
munity, but Bisbee offers such {
striking exception to this rule that it is
worthy of special note. OF course, il
the early days of formation, when men
were naturally busy finding out the
extent of copper deposits, sanitary
questions were more or less neglected
They always are at the outset in min
ing camps, and sometimes they are
neglected TO the end. The people pay
a high price for this neglect, typhoid
fever being the particular enemy OF
many a mining camp. Yet the case
of Bisbee shows that the Objectionable
features can be removed and the camp
actually be given d reputation as a
health resort.
Nothing tells the story more graph.
cally than the vital statistics, of the dis
trict. Today the death rate is the low
es and the birth rate. the highest Cd
any mining camp in the country. Such
situation is; bound 20 attract wide
attention" not only from those who
are seeking new locations, but others
who are interested in sanitary i'm
proyements. Ali should find encotr.
agement in the example of Bisbee, for
difficulties have been overcome such
as are now facing other camps, while
the results brought about may be re-
garded by other communities as next
to impossible of accomplishment
A city built on the steep sides of
mountains, the latter forming a can
yon, does not offer the best field in
the world for sanitary experiments.
Houses built one. above the other, like
steps in a stairway, present a large
problem TO the health department.
But the Bisbee officers have not hest
tated to tackle IT, Some years ago
each summer would see great mortal
ity from typhoid fever. AS usual in
such cases a few simple rules of n.y.
.giene properly enforced were all the
situation called for. but owing to the
physical characteristics OF the country
il was not easy to observe the rules
Most of the people agreed with the
sanitary officers, however, that Bisbee
must be made healthy, and it was
done. A system of garbage disposal
was put into use, and the people in
structed IN regard to cesspools and
drinking water. Those who did not
obey the rules were promptly com
PEELED to. Later a sewer system was
planned and this year the work was
commenced. At this writing the
great undertaking has been com
pletion and some parts of the system
are already In use. At present the
conditions are such that the simple
,,-a..o,,tfcr. of boiling the drinking
water when danger appears is SUI
fcient to prevent the spread of ty
phoid. The disease is no longer
menace. 1t is rare that death occur:
from IL. A mortality Of per cen
! from typhoid is small. but the dealt
rate in Bisbee is less than 2 per cent
But It is with reference to pneu
monia that the situation in Bisbee hai
been greatly misunderstood. even b,
many of its own people. Somehow

DISAPPOINTMENT
IN THE MARKET
Business DulleSt In Weeks and
Nearly the Smallest of
the Year.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26-Disappoint.
ment was the portion of those who
thought today's market would show
some further reflection of the early
weeks turbulence. The days business
was almost the dullest for some weeks
and nearly the smallest of any day in
the year. Trading the first hour was
under $1,000 shares. while throughout
the afternoon there were frequent per
fods of complete stagnation.
The suspension of A. o. Brown is
still shrouded with considerable mys-
terry, but exchange authorities are
earnest in their promise to sift the
matter to the bottom. Extreme eau
ton is being manifested by the in
vestors. 1t is conceded no business
need be expected from that element
for some time.
The afternoon brought little or no
change, but under the lead of South
ern Pacific, which reached a new high
level at 1914, the entire list hardened
and closed strong.
Inquiry for copper metal was slight
and break in tin is reported from
London.

Water For lo, 900 Acres.

One of the mOmentOuS events in ir- rigation history of Yuma valley was celebrated sunday evening when hun dreds of people witnessed the final ad- lustment of the big scoop W heel which is to raise water to cover about 16,000 acres of the richest land in America. A time hOnored custom in launching new battleshfps WAS observed in this instance, Miss Mnude Fredley, a Yuma born young woman smashing bottle of champagne on the big wheel. Prof. Sepulveda's band was there and fur nished fine music, and District Attorney P. T. Robertson delivered a short but very entertaining address.
 A pretty feature was that of Miss Alley Earl Huss. daughter of $. F.. Huss, in her dainty little speech when she presented a box of Yuma valley grapes to Projec; Engineer Francis L.. Sellew. She said: rMr. Sellew, pre- sent to you box of fruit, grown from the vine that won't make wine. and grown from government irrigation. " They were of the muscat variety and ae fine as ever grew.
 Among ;he outside people present were Editor Charles H Akers, of the Phoenix Gazette, and Lee Landis, gen eral passenger agent at Phoenix for the  Maricopa branch of the Southern Pa cifc. Both gentlemen are familiar with the wonderful results following irrigation upon lands in the Salt River valley, and fully realize the importance of the scoop wheel adjuncteto Yuma valley agriculture.

Having noticed that this gentlemen was paying marked at tention to d lady Of her own set. she kept careful watch, and was fortunate enough to discover among her hus- bands papers quantity of letters writ ten by the said lady. She then refec- ted as to what course she should pursue. She thought long. and at last hit upon a strange plan. From among the be- aforementioned correspondence the lady, according to "AprOdite" in the Gentle woman, selected four letters, pasted them on the back of her fan, and then accompanied her husband to dinner, where she knew she would meet her rival. It was not long before the fan attracted the attention of the guests, who asked 10 be allowed to look at it. The fan then passed from hand to hand and when it reached the rival she turned crimpson, and under the pretext of sudden indisposition withdrew hastily.
