Avalanche Of Snow And Rocks Barely
Miss East Bound Passenger
Last Monday Night
MIDLAND PLAYS THE "sAFE1Y''

An avalanche Of snow $50 feet wide
and from thirty to fifty feet deep and
which carried with it logs, rocks, ice,
and dirt, poured over the cliffs of
Grand canon on Monday night of this
week and landei on the d. & X. G.
tracks opposite the boarding house at
Shoshone. Eastbound passenger No. 6
had barely passed the place and was not
more than three hundred feet in the
clear. 1t was the second thrilling ex
perience for many of the passengers af-
ter they had left Grand Junction, the
frs having occurred some thirty miles
delayed the train and had il not been
seven minutes late it would have been
struck and plunged from the track.
When nearing Shoshone trainmen and
passengers of No. 6 were talking of
slides and similar accidents when their
conversation was interrupted by the
roaring far up the mountain side. Clos
er and closer came the avalanche of
derbis and many of the passengers
thought they would be directly in the
path of the coming slide, but happily
for them, the powerful engines carried
them safely past the point where the

new CASTLE AM historic
HER GOLD NINE
Shortage Of Ore Sacks Pre-.
vents Shipment of High
Grade Product
FUTURE OUTLOOK GOOD

Reports received this week from the
mining circles of New Castle give every
indication that this coming summer will
be one of the greatest ever experienced
by Garfield county mining men.
Although the snow is deep in the Elk
creek region where the finds of last
year are located, it is said that tho
mines would even now be fairly good
producers if ore sacks could be pro
cured in large enough quantity to Just
lfy placing large force of men at
work. With these handicaps, it is said,
the prospectors and miners are not idle,
but are continuing development work in
such way that they will have large
block of ore in sight when they can Sc
cure the needed sacks.
1t is claimed that small consign
ment of sacks was received some DAYS
ago and THAI the word followed that
more sackJ would be sent in the near
future, hut as yet they have not arriv-
ed. Mining men who have visited the
great camps of 'the state have said that
the prospects for the New Castle dis
trict are as bright as any of them and
they will not be surprised to see at
least four small shippers wi.hin the
next twelve months, and some of them
predict there will be this number within
six months.
One repon, has it that a number of
Denver capitalists have taken stock in
the mines, and that when the real act
i've work opens there will be several new
faces at the directors meetings. If
this report is true it means that other
outside capital will be seeking u home
in this county and that we may be but
entering upon an era of prosperity that
will place this county good and solid as
mining camp.

1t was the same old story so often
heard in the lower courts. vet when
Lemuel McGregor told Justice White
last Monday that he did not know the
ladies cloak he was trying to peddle
was stolen, his story fell on deaf ears
and he was bound over to the district
court in the sum of $3.50 in default of
which he was landed in the Garfield
county Jail.
Saturday afternoon last. Mrs. Eva
Tolman was in the |. o. o. F. hall in
this city. She left her cloak in the
cloak room She told the court that
the coat cost her $65, but that it's pre-
sent value was $25.
Marshall Weidenhammer, who made
the complaint against McGregor, told
of hearing of the fellow with the coat at
Fern Hart IS place on Palmer avenue.
He later found him at "Lola - and
took charge of him and locked him up

1t is claimed by railroad mon that
the SHOWS of this winter have been of
greoter damage to roads across the
mountains than for years. 1t is said
that at the present time there is n pile
of snow and ice some hundreds of feet
wide, and forty or fifty feet deep that
is barely hanging to the cliffs and that
the warmer weather will release this
and allow it to plunge to the tracks be-
ow.

the Midland was so heavy that the Of

not try to cross the divide. Eastbound

without saying. They kept snow plOws

follow in Rosebud cemetery.
Two brothers of the deceased arrived
in this city Thursday and viewed the
remains. They later went to the Jail
to see the murderer and while talking
to him one of them said: "You killed
our brother. If you get out you will
have to kill another one. 1t is evi-
dent from this that they will stand for
no monkey work, and that if they could
catch the prisoner outside the Jail they
would make short work of him.
Coroner Gilpin sent word to this city
yesterday that he would not hold an in

prisoner, who is called both Carol Jul
cnne and Juliennc Carol, has a brother
in Leadvillc and he wrote to him Thurs
day telling him of the affair. He was
not permitted to make any statement
here but dropped few remarks in
which he said both were drinking and
that the fight was the result of the con
dition they Were in. He was told here
that his victim had died of his wounds
and this alarmed him and he began to
shake and displayed great nervousness.
He seemed to be glad to leave the town
in which were stopping the brothers of
the man he had killed.

The tunnel of the Princeton Min. ing X Smelling company in Ramsay Canyon, in the Huachucas I1oun- tsins, has attained distance of l7r0 feet. About fifteen men are now employed at the property. The new machinery which was recently re- ceived IS now running sstisise- torily and good results are being ob- tained.
 At present the tunnel is in a soft formation, highly mineralized The flow of water increases with every round of shots tired, and Henry Ham, burg. president and manager oi the property, is certain that the main ore body will be encountered st almost any time. Additional men will be put to work in few weeks.
 Another mining deal has been con su mated whereby Abe Campbell sold to Henry Hamburg six claims adjoining the property of the Prince ton that are said to very valuable The consideration has not been made public. The property was purchased by MT. Hamburg personally and it is probable that additional property will be acquired.

A Rich Field
 For Botanists

IL may not be generally known that the Chiricahus mountains are today among the richest field for botanists in the world. A man who has brought these mountains to the at tention of botanists is J. c. Blumer, the well known naturalist ol the West Two years ago he spent several months in the Chiricshus and collect ed twelve thousand specimens of plant lite, and after having worked over this great collection he now finds that no less than fifteen of these spec. linens represent plant life hitherto unInosn to the botsnist.
 This is an unusslly long list of new plants to be found m one range oi mountains. The specimens have all been sold and distributed in this country and in the great collections of Europe. The newer works on botany will no doubt give the records of these new plants and sseribe them to Arizona, so that the name of the Territory, by the scattering of the collection, will be found in many re mote corners of the scientific world.

The rainfall at the Miller canyon headquarters in the Huachuca moun- tsins has been somewhat cratic thIs season; some twelve rains showing a total rainfall of oply six and three eighths inches. The heaviest being two inches on July 6, and last night one and one-fourth inches. The springs of the company will show no increase for about a week yet conse- quently there will be no material in- crease in the company's supply for the next week ss they use To surface water, simply the flow of the springs. Douglas has had less rain than Tomb stone. Sulphur Springs valley has SO far had only rsins in spots. The lower end of the Huachucas. the Mes cal Springs, St. David and parts of the Dragons and Fairbanks have had copious rains. Thunder and light
 ming has been more plentiful than the rains. Strong winds have preceded many storms. This season grass in places is already abundant and the cattle lose no time in locating it.
