FIND BROKEN RAIL
 JUST IN TIME fT ( -- Ht- Golden State Limited Within Ace of Having Bad Wreck
 at ESmond.

. TUCSON, Oct. 30.-A fortunate dis coyery of broken rail prevented the Golden State Limited yesterday morn- ing meeting with a disastrous wreck near Esmond, small siding about fifteeG miles east of Tucsca.
 Bowling along at speed ap- preaching sixty miles an hour, this fast Chicago-Los Angeles flyer would have gone into the ditch in all prob a biIity had 1t not been that the dam utes before and a flagman sent out who stopped the flyer.
 Just what would have been the cost had the train, running at high rate of speed struck the damaged rail none can tell but it would have probably meant a repetition of the Els mond horror of sevGSal years ago when two passenger trains were wrecked at that place at an early morning hour.
 It was due to the vigilance of the trainmen on No. 4, the eastbound flyer, that the broken rail was dis covered. This train leaves Tucson for Chicago at 1:33 a. m., and it is supposed that the rail was damaged while it was passing EsmOnd. As the last car passed over the bad rail a quiver was felt. The train was brought to stop and an investigation showed that a portion of the top or the rail about yard in length, accord ing to the passengers who viewed it, had been broken off leaving only the slender and jagged bottom portion re maining.
 A flagman was sent ahead to warn the Golden State Limited which was due at that place a short time after wards.
 This fast train was stopped in time to prevent an accident and was held at EsmOnd until the damaged track could be repaired.
 Among the passengers on the train was District Attorney Fred Saelly of Cochise county, who stated that those passengers, who were awake and viewed the damaged track, shuddered when they thought of the narrow es- cape they had had from being in a disastrous wreck

MOHAVE MINES
 RECEIVE ATTENTION Large Sums To Be Spent In County During This
 Winter.

KINGMAN, Ariz., Oct. 30.-This winter promises to be one of the most remarkable in the annals of mining in Mohave county on account of the large amount of money that is to be in vested in gold and other mines throughout the confines of the county. The knowledge that Mohave is one of the greatest gold mining sections of the territory is not confined to the territory alone but the people of the United States are becoming so i'm bued with it that little difficulty is now had in interesting investors in the mines. Wherever you may be the big bars now being sent out from he Tom Reed are being discussed and are conclusive that Mohave has a great future as a gold producer.
 When the new mill of the Gold Road M & E. company is put in com mission the output of bullion will sur prise the territory. The great bodies of ore that have been opened up in the mines since the shut down of the mill one year ago are revelations to the directors of the company. On every level ore bodies heretofore un- huONu udfS DSth bAltAtEu AH anu VI produce heavily. All the ores are of 3 higher grade than that formerly taken from the mine. So far as known the general average of the ores will be above S20 to the ton. The new mill will have a capacity of about 300 tons daily, which will give a monthly bullion output of over S170,- 900. or more than two million dollars yearly. The mines are to be electri- caliy equipped and everything in and about the property is to be run with power transmitted from the big plant at Kingman
 Thomas Burke, superintendent of the turquoise mines recently taken over by J. w Wilson, was in town a few days ago. Mir. Burke is shipping large amount of turquoise to the company in Los Angeles.
 Joe Prisk was over from Mineral Park this week to attend the session of the court as a trial juror. He re ports work on the Home Pastime mine progressing and rich ore in all the openings So far he and partners have several thousand dollars worth of ore on the dumps and many thou sands of dollars worth blocked out iI the mine.

3,5OO SHARES IF SYLVANITE

Public SubscribeS LiberaIIy For New Gold Development Venture First Day Ii Is Placed on Market.
(By Frank J. Crab

The uncertainty of the market con tinues to show that the election has not been discounted and that there is possible chance that something might come up to change tae sitJR- ton. The metal market Is fractional ly better, and has It's effect on the copper stocks. The metal must show better prices before some of the lead ing coppers can advance. The New York market seems to be nominal, and traders do not let their trades go over night. The curb list fails to show any improvement, but it looks as though Globe Consolidated, as we'll as Black Mountain should see better prices. The subscription of the Syl- vanite Gold Development company. which was offered today has been met with the very best of results. Out Of the 5000 shares that are to be issued, $500 have been sold up to p. ID. to- day. It is very likely that all stock will be taken up by noon tomorrow. Those that have not put in their ap- plication are requested to do so at once. It is one of the best opportuni- ties that has merit behind 1t, that has ever been offered to the public

TEN YEARS SHOW
 WONDERFUL STRIDE Progress of Arizona Copper Mines Within Period Is
 Remarkable,

BOSTON, Oct. 3O.-An old State street man says: When I look over the list of copper shares in Boston, and then go back only 10 years, the growth in copper mining is striking one.
 "Only 10 or 12 years ago we had lit tle to consider but the Lake and Butte mines. At the Lake We had Calumet Osceola, Tamarack, Quincy, Wolver- inc, Atlantic, Centennial and Franklin. We had no Copper Range. Ahmeek, Mohawk and Ontonagon mines. In Butte, We had only Aanaconda, Boston & Montana and Butte & Boston. The only producer in California was the Mountain Copper Co, an English cor poration, thesstock of which was never traded in. The company is now prac- tically out of business. In Utah, the Utah Consolidated was only small gold property and it's future very un- certain
 We did not have any United States Smelling, Utah Copper, Boston Con solidated or other properties in which Boston capital is now heavily inter- ested.
 Arizona was no factor. The Cop per Queen and United Verde were producing copper, but in comparative Iy small amounts compared with now, and they were both close corporations. Old Dominion had just come on the market, and it's future was problemat- ioai.
 "The Clifton camp was confined to the operations of the Arizona Copper company whose shares were never quoted in this maket. Within a short space of 10 years Boston has become largely interested in extensive mining operations in Arizona, Utai and Cal ifornia-
 Arizona has grown in copper pro duction from under 100000, 900 pounds per annum to 265, 900 900 pounds and promises to take first place in copper production for all time. Utah was then producing under 10,000,00C pounds per annum and growing rapidly.
 Boston interest in copper mining however, has kept pace with the growth of the mines in these various states and territories, and it has main tained it's place as the leading copper share market in the world. I believe it will continue to do so although New York has, in. the last few years, showT a remarkable degree of interest

Houses close to inside interests con tinue to take most all of the First Ma tional Copper offered on the locai curb and it is generally believed tha, this buying is in anticipation of some important developments in connection with the company. While 1t may DC that there is something ''in the wind" "a consolidation with the Trinity for lnstance-on which this movement is based, it is more probable that the activity and strength is due rather to he improvement in the company's po- sitiop and the knowledge that 1t Is

STRIKE POSTPONED TILL AFTER ELECTION Big Eastern Railroad Fears to Hurt Chances Of Its
 Candidate.

NEW YORK. Oct. 30.-It was an nounced yesterday that there will be general strike on the various lines Western railroad just as soon as the election is over or perhaps sooner.
 The men are simply waiting for the officials of the country to take the initial step by discharging several men who have become obnoxious to the management for their activity in behalf of the union for the blow to be struck, when several thousand switch men, firemen and the freight handlers will throw up their jobs.
 The officials of the LackawanDa are just as eager for the fray as the men themselves, but they dare not act. The national leaders in the re- publican party have been pleading with them to hold off until after cleo tion, for a strike at this time, they said, might result disastrously to Taft and injure his chances for the presi- dency. Nothing therefore will be done. unless the men take the initiative, until after election.
 The grievances are many, includ- ing the wholesale discharge of em- ployes without cause, but the dismis- sal of three switchnen in the Buffalo yard Is the principal cause of the trouble. Then men complained that their discharge was due to prejudice on the part of the division superin- tendent, and the matter was called to the attention of General Superin- tendent T. E. Clark.
 The grievance committee and MT. Clarke talked the matter over and the latter decided to stand by his superintendent. An appeal was then taken to President Trresdaie and he said he would stand by whatever MT. Clarke did

The market took at the decline many real izing sales and was very dull. Shortly before the close the market hardened upon traders buying and closed well above the lowest but rather uncer- tain in tone.

sent his gardeners to fix it. Each
climbed about half way up when they
lost heart and descended, the high

them aside, daringly climbed the slen-
