New Company to BE Big Factor in
Southwest Mining Industry-ore
In Sight for Five Years
Work

DOUGLAS, Sept. 6.-The Savanna
Copper company is the name of the
new company headed by Messrs. Hove
land and Smith of Bisbee, to take over
the Copper Gulf and Comanche COM
panies, in the Burro mountains and It's
coming on the copper share market
made one or the most successful flo
tations of the year, the 50 paid stock
being bid at S3,25 from the outset.
The Savanna company was organized
by Messrs. Hoveland and Smith and
their Duluth associates with q capital
stock of $2,000.000, consisting of 100000
shares of a par value OF $40 each. A
half million OF the stock goes to each
of the merged companies, $4,000 shares
to be exchanged for Copper Gulf stock
and the same amount to go for the
Comanche property. Holders of full
paid Copper Gulf stock will be allowed
to subscribe for 66 2-3 shares of Savan-
ma for every 100 shares of Copper Gulf,
and Comanche holders are entitled to
subscribe for one share of Savanna for
every 100 shares of Comanche. There
have been issued about four million
shares of the latter, as the full capital
izatlon was five millions.
The Savanna company will undoubt-
edly be a large factor in the mining
industry of the southwest, as it has an
acreage of mineral ground which Is
second to only one or two companies
in the country.
w. G. Durham, well known min
ing engineer, was sent by the directors
of the Comanche company to make a
report on the Copper Gulf company.
previous to the signing up of the deal
and his report showed that the state
ments made by President Hoveland of
that company to the Comanche officials
were ultra conservative, especially so
far as the known tonnage of ore was
concerned and the value of the same.
The report of Engineer Dunham
stated that the new company will have
three shafts 300 feet deep all in ore.

and an aggregate OF over seven miles

the center of the old Peavine district,
and then through the range and down
to Coaldale. The country where the
indications are strongest is sandstone
formation that has not been disturbed
since the sedimentary period.
In spite Of the general impression
that there is nothing doing in the
Fitting district, Buck says several
shippers are getting good values. Lee
brothers are sending out regular ship
ments from Acme that run in the
vicinity of 10 per cent copper and from
$40 to $12 per ton in gold and silver.
Five miles east of Fitting, at Stone
Cabin Springs, d. V. Tomsen has a
surface prospect from which he is TAX
ing ore that runs from $3.50 to $500.
The section had been prospected for
years for the source of the rich float

thinks he has found the main ledge.

PREDATORY INDIANS
ATTACK MEXICO MINE
AND WOUND WORKMAN

OAXACA, Sept. 6.-An attack was
made on the Rosario mine recently, In
the Penoles district, by band of In
dians. Luis Lapine, the manager of
the mine has arrived in the city bring
ing the first correct version of the af-
fair. He says that the attack took
place at about 10 o'clock at night, one
of the miners houses being one of the
first attacked. The occupant, in an
attempt to defend himself, was shot
through the body above the heart and
cut on the head with a machete. AL
though in a serious condition, it is
thought that mis- life will be saved.
Before anything of value could be
taken Lapine raised a body of his
men, whom he armed. and drove the
band away. In order to call the at
tention of the authorities to the danger
of a repetition of the affair Lapine came
into the city and interviewed Cover
nor Pimentel, who at once ordered
number of rurales to the scene, and
the mountains will be secured for the
laWbreakers.

A number OF the most proml-

ganized the Claiborne County Ag-

those who accidentally learned that
such gathering was being held.
At first it was the intention mere
ly to arrange for the big boil weevil
convention which is to be held here

much interest manifested by those
present that permanent organiza-
ton, known as the Claiborne Coun.

effected. w. G. Guthrie was elect
ed president, M. M. Satterheld sec
retary and J. M. Taylor treasurer.
Contributions were asked for for
the purpose of properly advertis-

convention, and In less than five

The German war office has sent in
structions to Allenstein ordering the
fullest inquiry made into the death of
baron Won Goeben, details of which
are pow forthcoming. One morbidly
interesting conclusion is that he must
have bribed the keeper who took his
meals to him not to observe the disap-
pearance of the knife, which, being in
tentionally blunt, he sharpcned to q
somewhat rough edge on the bottom Of
the course prison plate with his back
against the door so that the guardian
specially stationed outside with in
structions to watch the prisoner care
fully and lc )k through the peephole at
least every quarter of an hour could
not see him holding the rough edged
weapon i'm his left hand.
With extraordinary courage the bar
on went through what must necessan-
ly have been the slow operation of
gashng his neck on the right side un-
til he completely severed the jugular
vein, the blood squirting all over the
walls of the narrow cell. When he
had completed his task the knife fell
out of his hand, and his head was
found supported by his right hand.
