made by men now at The scene OF The
wreck. There are still big heaps OF
coal along the track was the mes
sage late this afternoon These have
not been raked over al all. coal be
ing shoveled from the tracks only.
LOTUS has undoubtedly been thrown
to the side of the rack when his err
CINE and the extra met he body
is almost sure 10 he found under the
heaps of fuel.
The company has no statement
ready. concerning the cause of the
accident. Although the general be
lief is that orders were misread and
that the regular should have been on
siding to let the extra pass. no of
fetal information is forthcoming yet.
A. NJ. Howard. claim agent of the
Denver K Rio Grande. gave out the
following wreck statement upon
his return TO this city after visiting
the scene of the catastrophe:

a curve at a location where IL was imr
possible for the crews of the trains
to see each other until within a few
yards. The east bound train WAS No.

gineer Thomas ]. Lotus. Conductor
T. d. Benton. Fireman A. G. MeDou-

and Ike Randall. The other train was
a west bound extra attached TO engine
No. 1854. in charge of Engineer G..
W. McAleer, Conductor r. p. Par
sons. Fireman Albert Thomas and
Brakeman John y. Corral.
Engineer McAleer was killed and
his body buried under a ear of coal.
Engineer Lofts is missing. but was
not killed. as upon clearing away the
wreck no traces of his body We're

Girl. IL SHOT DEAD ON
THE EVE Oh HER WEDDING
Lover Held for Her Assassination
Stoutly Protests His lnnoeense
of the Crime.

WADSA ORTIZ. O.. Oct. 16.-Oro
Lee. a handsome factory girl, was
shot dead today on the road between
Wadsworth and Custard Hook. and
the sheriff has arrested Guy Rasor,
a young man to whom the murdered
woman was TO have been married to-
morrow. Rasor denies all knowledge
of the tragedy and in support of his
denial exhibits marriage license pro-
cured at Wooster yesterday.
The body OF the young woman was
found by Charles Rasor. a cousin of
Guy Rasor. as he passed along the
road in the early hours of the day.
Two bullets had entered the girls
skull, one piercing the forehead,
while the second crashed through be-
tween the eye and nose.
No positive motive for the murder
of the pretty young woman Yet has
come to light Guy Rasor was ar
rested because he was seen not far
from the place of the murder
\ police theory Is that a rival for
the affections of Miss Lee may have
shot the girl on learning of her ap-
preaching marriage TO Rasor Miss
Lee left Wadsworth last night os-
tensibly To prepare for her wedding.
When the body was found the hands
We're folded over the breast and the
limbs Strengthened ont as il the
corpse had been carefully arranged
after death. The girls suit case was
on the ground beside her. There WAS
no evidence OF struggle.

The new company will have 1000

ly developed, including the famous
Pinos Altos mines, formerly opened
by Senator Hearst. The Comanche
has a concentration and smelter at
Silver City and railroad from there
to Piuos Altos.
Control is now owned by Milwaukee
capitalists. The deal is the largest
in the southwest since the merger at

The Old Dominion company is now

output to 4,5OO,OOO pounds, having
very recently completed the installa-
tion of its sixth furnace and another
No. 10 blower, and now has one of

production while the depression in
the metal lasts
The output of copper for the War
ren district during the month of June
was approximately 0uO,OOO pounuS
more than that of the preceding
month, due to the increase of opera
tions at the Copper Queen and c. &
A. smelters at Douglas. The Copper
Queen output was several thousand
pounds i'll excess of the May produc-
tion, aud that of the G. & a. was
100000 pounds. At the Superior q

of oxides and native copper, has been

s5O,OOO Is Found In An Old Cave.

To his taking refuge in an old cave,
which he found while climbing a
steep hillside to escape a mountain
lion he had shot and mortally wound.
ed, Jack Thorton, one of the least
known, but oldest of tie Arizona gold
hunters, owes his stumbling upon
fortune estimated at $4,000.
Just as Thorton stumbled into the
cave and tell exhausted on the floor,
the wounded lion dropped at the en-
trance, and giving one last despair
ing wall, died within a few feet Of
Thorton, who, in his exhausted con-
dition, would have been torn to pieces
had not the bullet from his rifle did
its work and brought death to the
monarch of the forest.
- As soon as he dareG~enture forth,
Thorton secured a pipe torch and
again entered the cave, which had
aroused more than common curiosity
in the breast of the prospectOr,
thankful for his deliverance.
For half an hour Thornton lighted
his way al bout the cave, peering into
first one corner and then the other.
AS he was about to turn and leave,
di~gusted with the result of his
search. he saw rotten board stick
ing through pile of rock.
1t was not hard for Thorton to rea-
son that this presence of this board
u,aant that Ot tharS bad beap thera he
fore him, add pulling aside the stones
he soon uncovered the frame of what
had years before been a strong wood
en- box.
To the trained eye of the prospect
or the contents of the box were not
unfamiliar. They were slabs and in
gots and Jumps of virgin silver, such
as made the Silver King in Pinal
county one of the great mines of the
country years ago.
Excited by his find. which had
brought him a fortune after years of
fruitless search in the hills of Ari-
zona, ThortOn emptied the contents
of the box on the floor of the cave
until he had pile of silver it would
take several men to pack away.
BY "hefting" some of the Chunks
and estimating the rest, Thorton fig
ured his find at not less that $50, 900
In the early days of Arizona, Pho
neer was a thriving silver camp, be
tween l200 and 1900 men being en-
ployed in the hills around the camp.
With the slump in silver it was gradu-
ally deserted until today there re-
mains of Il once prosperous settle
ment but one shack and one man. 1t
is an old stage road, and that is all
that keeps him there alone.
The theory is that when the silver
mines were working, highgraders"
stole this silver as they worked, hid
ing it in the cave, to be taken away
later. They meyer came back. No
man will ever know who they were or
what became of them. They may haye
quarreled over their spoil and killed
each other, or death may have over
taken those who survived in retribu-
tion for their criminality.

School Census of MaricOpa County.

Maricopa county had 6O59 school
children within its borders during the
year ended June 30 last, according to
totals compiled by County Superin-
tendent OF Schools Fulton in his an
nual report, which he made public
last week.
Compared with 574l, the total for
the preceding year, Maricopa shows d
gain of 3IS school children in the
year. OF the total of 6O59, the num-
be of boys is 3lO4 and girls 1855.
There are ~ colored children in the
county.
OF the total census of the county,
4445 are of native born parents, 642
with one foreign parent, S42 with both
parents foreign, and l4S of the chill
dren were born out side OF the United
States.
Fulton ; report shows that S9l Up. -
was spent in the public schools and
81, ,257.7I in the high schools and
manual training departments, making
the total spent 10y Maricopa county
last year to educate lis children Sll7,-
329S3.
The total value of all school prop
erty in the county, including build
ings, furniture, libraries and appaI IL
tus is given at $276. .345, which Fulton
says is ultra-cOnservative. In his
opinion the school property could not
be duplicated for less than S30J,00O.
In the larger districts the funds
are apportioned upon the average
daily attendance while in the smaller
districts it is based on the school cen
sus. In the latter it is easier to get
1T the exact figures for the census
than in the larger and more popuIous
districts.
