PURPOSE NEVER MADE CLEAR
Probably No One Except Aaron Burr
Really Knew What He
Planned to Do.

There is to this day not little ele-
ment of mystery about what was
known as Burr's conspiracy Soon
after his duel with Alexander Hamil.
ton. in which the latter got his death
wound, Burr was indicted for murder
both in New York and New Jersey.
But before the warrant could be
served on him he made his escape to
the then primitive west.
Burr apparently made little or no eff.
fort to conceal his identity after get
ting out of the reach of the authorities
Tor the murder of Hamilton. In truth
he apparently was inclined to look
upon himself as something of a ma
tional hero, suffering from the pref.
udices of politics.
In the course Of his extensive west
ward tour Burr Matched a plot for
some sort of gigantic, visionary and
mysterious empire over which he was
to become the ruler. His real pur-
pose has never been definitely known,
even those joining in the enterprise
being kept in more or less ignorance
OF its scope. Some historians have
the impression that his purpose was to
separate the Mississippi valley from
the rest of the union and thereon to
found new country. Other historians
say that his real object was to raise
an army and conquer Mexico, thus
making himself the ruler of that Goun-
try.
The headquarters of this plot finally
became Blennerhassett island, in the
Ohio river, the owner of the island,
Hartman Blennerhasset, becoming one
of Burr's co-conspirators. In 1906 Burr
gathered about him there a group of
reckless adventures Of his OWN ilk
and set out to march to the region of
Texas, ostensibly for purposes of colo
nization.
President Jefferson Immediately is
sued a proclamation warning all citi
zens of the country against joining
the expedition, having been informed
that the real object of it was not a
peaceable one. Burr was finally ar
rested By the presidents orders and
sent captive to Virginia, whers he
was indicted on charges of consplring
against the government. Blennerhas-
set also was captured, but was subse-
quently set free when Burr was &C.
quilted of the charge.

Christian BuriaIs at Jerusalem.

Until about fifty years ago Chris
tians in Jerusalem, and Franciscans as
well, were buried without coffin, the
latter simply in the habit of the order.
AT the grave the hood of the deceased
was sewed shut over his face, and
thus he was bedded in the earth. The
former burial place of the Catholics
was in the valley Of the Cedron along.

Is unknown, although many attempts
have been made to find it. An old

Another Economy Will be Installed at
 the Fiomestake.

It is reported that the Homestake company is planning to increase the present capacity of its shines plant by adding to treating capacity and mill. At the present time the plant is run ming 26 presses three shifts of eight hours each and treating about 1,SOO tons of slime per day. It is said the company will build spacious addition to the south end of the present build ing and install between 10 and l5 new presses. This addition will nearly double their present capacity.
 Other changes are under considera- tion. Among them the company will install new system for the washing of the presses. The mud is washed from the presses after having been treated with the solutions by perfor- ated pipe running lengthwise through the press. This pipe is turned while the washing process is going on to send the sprays of water to all parts of the press and force the mud out. At the present time there are five ma chimes used for the turning of the washing pipes. These machines are operated by motor and are on a track in front of the presses. When a press is to be flushed a machine is brought in front of the press and set in motion. Now it is only possible to wash four presses at once. According to the plan the individual washing machines will be done away with and shafting installed which will make it possible to wash all the presses at one time if 1t is needed. This will be a great saving of time and labor.

ing property close to producing camp went to San Francisco recently to see what he could do in the way of inter- esting capital in order to explore and develop it, says the Round Mountain Nugget.
 He put his proposition to a capital ist and gave him an honest estimate of its probable success as a mining venture. After hearing all the details the man of money said, "Well, if things are as you say they are, it looks to me like a good fighting chance. I'll send my mining engineer to report on the property"
 "Mr. Blank" said the owner of the property, 'you can save yourself the time and expense of sending out your mining expert, for can tell you right now that his report will be unfavor- able. Come yourself, if you know any thing about exporting, or send some expert friend WHO Is not in your en- ploy, but draw the line at your paid
 
 expert"
 The fnancier expressed his surprise and inquired the reason for the prop erty owners stand.
 "I'n tell you," said he. You are looking for mine or the making of a mine and you have in your employ a mining engineer who is exporting properties for you. Eventually you may find a mine. Possibly you never will. It will all depend whether your engineer is sufficiently well fixed to lose his position, for so soon as he finds mine for you his work with you is finished and he has to hunt another iob."

SmeIterman Will Soon be Sent to
 Humboldt

The Prescott Journal-Miner says: A reliable report reached here yester- day from New York that smelterman will leave here in few days for Hum- boldt to investigate the condition of the plant of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Company with a view of commencing repairs on the furnaces and machinery al onc-
 It is stated that repaIrs and neces- sary improvements to the plants will be rushed as fast as possible so the smelters can be blown in at an early date.
 It is also rumored that board of directors and management for the re- organized company has been selec:ed but this was not confirmed.
 Those in close touch with interests identified with the company admit, however, that the outlook now is that work will be started at Humb boldt sooner than expected. They do not hCDA lldb q oibCibCA CApCib Ldo bCCh engaged to come to Humboldt at once but decline to give his name or the personnel of the board of directors un- der consideration by the reorganized committee.
 It is estimated that 150,000S will be spent in repair to furnaces and ma chinery and change, and additions to the plant which were not started when operations ceased there over a year ago.
 The plan of reorganization contem- plates the raising of nearly l,200, ,00OS, of W hich 797 ,OOOS will be available for the purchase of ores and the conduct of smelling operations when the plant is ready for operation after the ex- penses of repairs and other necessary outlays are paid.

Semi-Precious Stones.

The chief center for the manipula- tion of semi-Drecious stones in Ger many is in the Rhine Province. Both at Oberstein and Idar an important in- dustry has been created, which had its inception in the cutting and dyeing of native agate, the chief deposits of which are now exhaused. Al present imported stones are handled chiefly. these coming principally from England and South America. Although agate only was dressed and colored in the early years of this industry, at present all classes of stones are prepared for market. In this, however, the art consists not only in forming the rough stone, but in giving it color as well. It was first learned that the natural color of agate c,uid be changed by firing, and then that by warming the dressed stones in a solution of sugar or honey, and coating them with various concentrated acids which carbonize the sugar, a color was imparted to the more porous strata, while in the case of agate the impenetrable crystalline strata appeared winter than before.

 There are also many other irrigation projects of smaller note, such as the Gila river, the Colorado. the Verde and San Pedro. About the same kind of crops are grown in these different localities as around Phoenix.
