Veteran Drove "Prairie Schooner"
With Oxen Through City Streets.

New fork-A team of oxen drawing
n prairie schooner" the driver of
which was a rugged looking old man
who wore typical western Garb, includ.
ing sombrero. attracted great
crowds on Broadway.
The vehicle and driver were not
only in striking contrast with the jam
OF automobiles and carriages on the
Great White Way" but they were Il
decidedly novelty in New York.
The driver was Ezra Meeker. a
pioneer of the Oregon trail. who had
returned over the trail he followed to
the west half a century ago. All along
Riverside, from Grants tomb to Sew
enty-second street. Meeker was FOL-
lowed by an interested and curious
throng.
When Broadway was reached the
crowd was so dense that the oxen.
which the hale old man afterward de-
scr'3ed as Dave and Dandy. had II
hard time to make any headway.
Meeker's trip ended at last at the
Battery. He had come all the way
from Puyallup, WASH, to New York
in 626 days.
Meeker's object in making his
unique journey is to persuade the gov
ern..ent to build a national highway
from east to west.

Ross was one OF the first under
takers of the country to find that
chloride OF zinc would not do well as
an ingredient of embalming fluid. as
It had tendency to make the bodies
copper colored. Some years since he
substituted another ingredient to use
with formaldehyde in embalming, and
met with such good results that lie de-
cided to go further with test which
he had figured out many years before.
1t has been eight months since he
completed his test and was ready for
the human body in which to make his
great test. but he had difficulty in se-
curing one.
One OF the Pittsburg hospitals Of
fered to allow him to use its labora-
tory, and would furnish body If the
hospital were allowed to share in the
discovery, but this Ross refused to
consider. as he wanted the secret for
his very own.
When the unknown man was killed
near his place, seven weeks ago. Ross.
got the body. and found that there was
not break on the almost perfect
corpse. There were no claimants. and
in a few weeks time Ross sent word
to the coroner of Washington county
that he was about to make an impor-
tant scientific test and he wanted the
body for his very own. The coroner
gave him the permission asked. and
has himself been an interested spec
tator at many Of the injections.
+ Ross said that he would spend his
last cent now to keep any relative
from claiming the body. as he has put
his whole life's work into 1t. 1t would

identify the body, as the face is most

Mining, SmGItCrs and StOCk Quotations
Statement of Outputs
By Copper Companies
Under the New Bullion Law of the Terery of Arizona They
Had to Be Filed yesterday-Fgures OF the Warren
District Companies As TO Production.
Especial to Review

TOMBSTONE, May 5.--Yesterday
was the last day in which the mining
companies under the new bullion tax
law had to file their statements of the
output for the past year with the
county assessor In order that the levy
of the 25 per cent might be made. All
of the statements were received with
the exception Of the Black Diamond
Copper Company, which was sent in
in time, however. but there was an
error in the amount received and 1t
was sent back TO the company. The
statements of the companies show that
there was a falling of in the produc-
tion in most of the workings.
The Shattuck company showed the
largest increase, being nearly 100 per
cent over that of last year. The Su-
perior e Pittsburg also showed a
slight increase, while the other COM
panies show a falling of.
The production of the companies as
listed with the assessor is as fol-
lows.
