HE KILLS THREE.
New Orleans Wine Merchant Checks
a Holdup Game.

New Orleans. June 17.-Followine a
series Of crimes attributed to socaIled
BLACK hand societies in the italian
quarter of New Orleans, one of the
worst tragedies yet connected with
that section, took place early today
when three Italians were shot to
death.
According to the police these men
were killed as a result of an attempt
to extort money from Pietro Giacona,
a wealthy Italian wine merchant.
Giacona and his son told the police
that these men had frequently bought
wine from them by the barrel and had
invaria bly, refused to pay for it. Ac-
cording to their story, the three forced
them to ship a barrel of wine to a
point in the state yesterday and re-
turned early today and ordered them
to prepare a meal.
The older Giacona suspected that
trouble would ensue and hid repeat
ing rifle near the table. When one of
the visiting Italians drew a heavy re-
volver and ordered them to produce
money and valua bles, the older Gia-
coma answered with a shot from the
rifle. The man he fired at fell dead
and the other two attempted to es-
cape. One was killed before he had
gotten ten feet from the table, the
other reached staircase, only to re-
ceive a bullet in his brain as he start
ed down the steps, his body falling
into the court yard below.
One of the italians who was killed
has been identified as a man named
Barraca, known to the police.

1000 LEFT BEHIND.
Steamer Potsdam Could Not Carry
An Who Had Tickets.

New York, June 17.-More than a
thousand persons holding steerage
tickets for European ports were left
behind by the steamer Potsdam when
she sailed today with her steerage
filled tItheir capacity of 1000. The
thousand who were unable to find
accomm odations on the ship were as
sured that they would be taken on
the next outgoing steamer, but many
of them made determined efforts to
go on board the Potsdam. They were
held in check, however, by large
force of policemen, who had been
summoned to the pier.
Many of the prospective passengers
have little or no money beyond what
will be required to get them to their
homes, and it is likely that they will
remain in one of Hoboken's parks,
where they are now camped until the
next steamer sails.
The great homeward rush of
foreigners is believed to be largely due
to the extremely low rates now offered
for eastward bound Storage passen-
gers.

MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW
CAUSE OF THEIR SICKNESS

Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question is becon-
ing widely discussed since L. r.
Cooper first advanced his theory that
the stomach is the true seat of life
and all health dependent upon IT.
Mr.. Cooper. who has met with re-
narkable success In the sale of hts
new medicine. believes that the stom
ach iS responsible for most sickness.
and that this organ is weak In the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: ct am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such record
wherever I have introduced 1t. NV
answer always is. because 1t restores
the stomach to a normal condition. >
No one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems to

Just half-sick most of the time They

sASco SHELTER.

A third jacket may be added to the Sasco smelter within short time, giving the plant a capacity of 1050 tons every twenty-four hours.
 This information was brought to Tucson, says the Citizen, last evening by Jack Rice, who Is one of the well known travelling men in this section. MT. Rice returned late yesterday aI- teTDoon from a, trip by automobile to Sasco and Siiverbell.
 He stated that the second jacket just installed at the Sasco smelting plant is now in operation and is prov ing a success in every way. With the two jackets in operation the Sas- co smelter has a capacity of 700 tons daily. The officials of the shelter company announced some time ago that just as soon as the new jacket is in successful operation they would begin to receive custom ores. When this Is done a big impetus will have been given to the mines in the Silver bell and Silver Hill district. Mir. Rice stated that new shaTt has been started by the Imperial Cop per company near the company's store at Silyerbell and good ore strike has been made near the surface.
 More men have been put to work at Silverbell and also at the Sascc smelter and prosperity is general in that section

SIMPLIFYING PLANT
 ID BE FASTENED
Ore Finds at Arizona Conner cial Very Encouraging
 to Management,
Globe Beitl


 Another ore occurrence in the Flu reka shaft of greater importance than any previously announced. was reveal ed yesterday morning after the rount of holes drilled by the night shift were blasted. The shots broke through a barren stratum. whicn was supposed to be the footwall, and into the best glance, and carbonate ore yet encoun tered at either the Eureka or Black Hawk shaft. The ore is coming In on the footwall side the full length of the shaft, twenty-three feet across the vein, and by Saturday the bottom oi the shaft should be entirely in this rich ore, which is solid. without bar ren or talcy seams.
 The local officers of the Arizona Commercial company are highly pleased at this latest development. General Manager J. w. Bennie said that it looked to him like the top of a big ore body, and he is now confident of opening a great copper mine at the Eureka shaft At about fifteen or twenty feet deeper the shaft will reach the point where 1t had been the intention to open another level, but Manager Bennie is in favor of sinking another hundred feet before doing any further crosscutting or drifting. The shaft has now been in ledge matter for about 115 feet vertically, which in dicates the width of the vein to be from forty to forty-fiye feet.
 Recent developments at the Flu reka shaft have been of such an in- portant character that they have in ftRe DrncfdanH N T. A ct n hasten the construction of a smelling plant that was practically decided up on several months ago, and Manager Bennie has received instructions to complete the plans and order the mI chinery and material for the plant forthwith. The smelter will be of the most modern type and the build ings of steel construction. The site selected for the plant is on the Pontiac claim, about 800 feet north west of the Eureka shaft, very good location, and one affording an easy grade for a railroad spur from the main line of the Arizona Commercial railroad.
 Another smelter for Globe, marks the rapid expansion of copper produc- tion in the district The number of important strikes and extens 'ons oI known ore bodies, in the copper mines of Globe this year have been little less than phenomenal, and it is appar- ent that increased smelling facilities here will be urgently needed by the time the plant of the Arizona Com will have been completed, which should be not later than July 1. 1909. The new smelter will have an initial capacity of 300 tons, but will be constructed with a view to its en- largement when warranted.

Special Ware to l.. J. Overlock)
 NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The market tais week, for the first time in some weeks, shows lower range of prices than at any time the end of the pre- ceding week. The high prices of the upward movement was in many ac- tive stocks made on Tuesday ana Wednesday, but since then there has been a decline. but with sharp fiuc- tuations. The natural inference is that large holders of stocks have been heavy sellers. Satisfied with their large profit and, temporarily, stocks have gene into weaker hands. It's a question whether the larger interests who have sold will take them back ai the small recession so far made frolr the highest prices and we are inclined to look for lower prices before a re sumption of the upward movement.

SHATTUCK Is KEEPING THE
 BOYS GUESSING
Local Stocks, Except Warren and Denn, Are in Fairly Good Shape, Despite Some Profit Taking.
(By Frank J. Graf.l

The closing of the weeks market looks as though there seemed to be continuation of selling that started few days ago, very likely due to the fact that there is great deal of profit taking. whtch does more good for the market than harm. One of the most disappointing features was the declar- ing of but s1 dividend by the Calumet & Arizona people, but the stockhoid- CTS must remember that this company is doing a great deal of outside work, which will in time be of greater bene- fit to them than the present extra div idend that the c. & A. would pay in- stead of investing in other properties. Superior & Pittsburg sold as high as $20 during the week and at this point there seemed to be considerable stock coming out, forcing the stock down to $iT.62 to s17.T5. This stock. however, will sell for higher money later on, and there is nothing 10 prevent. Greene Cananea also showed a slight decline, but this has been attributed to the present litigation that has been going on for the last two weeks by the stockholders of the Greene Con solidated company Black Mountain
 
 on the list, and sold as high as S4.25, but on Friday there seemed to be food of stock offered. and it sold as low as Ss.27. closing on Saturday at $3.5e. The Warren Realty and DeyeI- opnent company is lifeless and much cannot be expected from the stock un- til operations are resumed. American Saginaw will sell out all the holders of stock on the 18th of the month who has not paid the last call on their stock, and those that have stock and S7.00 is not paid had better get busy, you might be able to protect yourself Globe Consolidated has been very active during the entire week and at at times there were sales made at S9 but toward the close of the week there seems to be some profit taking, the stock closing at sS. Snattuck Arizona keeps the boys guessing The market has been somewhat irregular, stock being offered at SIS not being taken. Dem Arizona also showed weakness, the stock being offered at $3-75 to s4. Superior G Boston has been a very steady stock, and from what I can learn this is one of the coming prop critics of the territory. Miami is also a fayorite. These two stocks should make good money If bought up at the present prices. The San Antonio Cop per company has just been organized and foated with capital of 250,0 900 shares at s10 per share. Of this amount si is paid and the stock ie now selling at $5.75 to s6 per share. The men behind the deal are most of Iron Mountain. Mich, and L. W. Pow ell. superintendent of the Cole inter ests in Ariona and Mexico.
