E1GHT-CENT COPPER
ChiIeans Can Produce the Metal at
 This Low Cost

Copper will soon be produced on a. large scale by the Braden Copper Com panv in Caile. The mine was develop ed under the guidance of William Braden. and subsequently, examined by Allen H. Rogers at the instance of A. c. Beatty. As result of the favor able report which MT. Rogers returned, coupled with demonstrations of the low price at which the ore can be mined and smelted, the Guggenheims have issued s4,5OO,OOO in bonds to finance the property. The bonds were promptly over-subseribed.
 A narrow-guage railroad will be built from Raneagua on the national line in the province of o'Higgins, to the mine, a distance of 45 miles. It is considered certain that copper from the Braden mine can be delivered at New York or European ports for less than cents per pound.

BIG CATTLE DEAL
 INVOLVING 55,oOo
(From Wednesdays Daily.1


 An important stock deal was con summated here yesterday when the ti- tie to the stock and ranch interests of Jeff Shipp in the Santa Maria district passed to Robert Schultz and Henry Ritter. The consideration of the transfer was $55,o00.
 Immediately after the close of the deal Schultz and Ritter sold 1000 head of the stock to George Long of I'm perial valley, California. The Long purchase comprises 1000 cows and 1000 steers, two and three year olds, to be gathered and shipped in carload lots this spring and the coming fall.
 The Shipp ranges cover twenty square miles of the Santa Maria coua- try. He has lived there 25 years and does not know the exact number of cattle he sold.
 MT. Shipp announced yesterday that he did not intend to leave the county. He will settle on tract of land n Arastrs Flat, nine miles from the headquarters he sold yesterday. He will commence the sinking of a well on the Arastra Flat land at once and retaining the tract.
 Snipp and Shultz have been neigh bors for more than twenty years. 6hultz conceived the idea of purchas- ing the Shipp stock interests three years ago. The Shipp herds were larg- CT than the Shultz cattle possessions and the ranges were getting more crowded annually.
 With the sale of the 2,oo0 cows and steers to Long of Imperial valley, Shultz and Ritter will decrease their range herds and rest part of the range for a year and possibly two years.
 After closing the deal with Shultz and Ritter yesterday Long left for Imperial valley. He is one of the largest stock and land owners of that part of the Golden State. He owns three butehering establishments in Imperial county and has 1000 acres under alfalfa on 23,000-acre tract he holds under lease on the Blythe es- tate.
 Speaking of the fertility of the I'm perial valley. he said that he has 33 acres under alfalfa which yields six crops annually. He cut 200 tons of alfalfa from this tract last year which he sold for s15 a ton, using the land for pasture the remainder of the year, the pasture netting him an additional $500.
 The Colorado River reservation lands below Parker are said to be as fertile as the Imperial valley lands and adap.- cd to the raising of the same crops. When this tract is thrown open for settlement and reclaimed by the re- elamstion service it's agricultural pos sibilties will attract settlers from all over the United States.

sHUMATE VERIFIES
 GREAT RICHES or STRIKE
CFrom Mednesday.s pailyl


 Ed Shumste arrived home yesterday afternoon from his properties in the Hareuvar mountains adjacent to the new strike on the Northern Arizona mine, whien he declares surpasses, iu his opinion, any description ever pub ilshed of it.
 "The gold rock is piled on the dump there" he said. Anybody can see it. The real stuff is plainly visible and it is certainly no fake.
 HEvery foot of the country for miles around is located and the num- ber of men employed completing loeA- tions is astonishing. I started small force of men on the group in which l am interested adjacent to the great gold strike and during stay of three hours -tnere Monday counted thirty gold hunters examining the location notices closely, apparently hoping that they could find an unappropriated piece of ground.
 "The new strike is visited by hun dreds of people daily. Thousands of dollars worth of the rich quartz has been carried away as specimens. The owners have watehman employed ar every one pile and no strangers are al lowed within reach or near the miners employed. This is absolutely neees- sary, as it would be impossible for the men to work if every visitor was ai- lowed the privilege of inspecting the rich streak.
 "Another thing that impressed me very much is that the great majority of those completing their title work 'n properties in the immediate vicinity are practical miners and prospectors. Many of them have seen every impor- tant mineral strike made in the west in the last twenty years and all are practical miners. With this class of men enthusiastic over the new find and the possibilities of the distriet' there is every reason to impress the person who has had no practical expe- rience in mining that the district IS one of exceptional promise.
 "From the number of blasts heard for miles around there is certainly a large number of prospectors and min CTS completing their title work. Dur ing my stay there WAS hardly g. period of ten minutes in which several shots were not heard. The feeling is gener- al there that another rich find may be made at any time by some of the many prospeetors and miners"
 Mir. Shumate was accompanied by Herman Voge. MT. Voge stopped over at Congress yesterday on the way home. He will arrive this morning.

VALUES HAVE
 JUST BEEN UNCOVERED

A discovery of a new bonanza was made few days ago by A. J. Kelhs, who, after taking n all the country around the famous Salome bonanza, went out to the Big Horn district and compared notes with the result that he uncovered some ore that is startling in richness. He brought in two sacks of the rich stuff and to say it is merely high grade is putting it lightly. When broken, nuggets, varying in size from grain of wheat to the size of pea, come tumbling out. It comes in a splendid looking quartz. One claim shows twslve-ineh vein of ore that will run well up into the thousands of dollars per ton, judging from the amount of the yellow metal that shows up in the rock. An adjoining claim shows three-foat vein that gives up ore that can be eonservatively esti- mated as worth $500 per ton.
 There has already been some pros peeting done on the ground and splen- did ore has long been known to exist, but it was not until now that closer prospecting revealed the unusual rich ness of the ground.
 The general formation of the eoun. try seems to be rhyolite, feldspathie diorite and silver schist, and the vein matter diabase and red bride of iron with considerable lime.
 This strike seems to prove eonelu- sively that we are in a wonderfully rich gold bearing belt, says the Wick enburg Miner.
 The New Arizona Northern strike with its jewelry display of ore burst ing upon the horizon, closely followed by the strike just made in the Big Horn, would seem to cinch the argu- ment that we have gold in abundance. The Big Horn strike is in the heart of the country that has given some of the best gold mines of the Territory. It is about twenty miles southwest from the Vulture mine. and about thirty miles from the Harqua Hala, and about fifty miles from the North Star and King of Arizona. The country thereabouts has been but little prospeeted on ae- count of the distance from the rail road, which is now reduced to seven teen miles. The Eagle Eye station on the A. & c. being only that distance from the strike. A. J..Kellis and Chris Short returned to the strike Friday evening and will establish a camp and put a few men to work at once to do some development on the property.
 Already a number of men are out fitting to go out there and some have gone already.
 The strike has created quite stir and from the present indications there will be rush in there before another week passes by; however, there is a large area of ground in the same form alton in which there is more than a probability of good discoveries being made. The samples of ore brought into the Miner from the strike has been attracting a great amount of at tention.

UNEXPECTED DEATH OF
 CITY CLERK MODEM
urom Thursdays Dailyo

urOm Thursdays DailyD
 Brick Brownrigg Moder is dead. He died yesterday afternoon at 3.15 o'clock after an illness of only four days. The end came twenty minutes after .he bursting of an abscess which has not located by the attending physicians.
 In the prime of life Saturday, he at tended to his usual business duties as City Clerk and bookkeeper of the Voge wholesale liquor establishment, only to be stricken by the fatal sickness that night. His attending physician real ized Sunday evening that his eondi- doctors was held Monday at which it was decided that his condition was such as not to justify an immediate operation. He gradually grew worse and spent Tuesday night and all fore noon yesterday in great pain. Every thing known to medical science was done to relieve him. A few minutes before 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon he attempted to raise himself in ped. The unloested abscess burst and ne was a corpse twenty minutes later. He bore his sufferings without a murmur, expiring peacefully, surrounded by his sorrowing wife and family, none of whom hardly realized until the end that the loving and indulgent husband and father was passing to his reward.
 MrrModen. was A years old and native of Vallejo, California. At the age of Is, after the death of his moth CT, he moved to San Francisco. He afterwards went to Florence, Arizona, and in 1888 was joined in matrimony to the sorrowing wife who survives him. He came to this county in the early 90's, accepting a position witi the Commercial Mining Company in Copper Basin. Soon after he identi- fled himself with the J. W. Wilson clothing establishment and was ap- pointed City Clerk by Mayor W. O. O'Neill. He filled this position in ad dition to his other business duties un- til 1897, when he was elected city as sessor and tax collector. He was re- elected two years later and after the expiration of his second term accepted the position of bookkeeper in the Voge wholesale liquor establishment. Later he was reappointed city clerk, filling both places with credit to himself un- til claimed by death.
 Besides his wife, he leaves surviving three sons and one daughter, Drais, Frank, and Trevor, and Miss Berniee Modem. Three sisters residing in Cal ifornia also survive him. They were notified of his death by telegraph. L. K. Drais, father of Mrs. Modem, and ner hister, Mrs. ". W. Nash, will ar- rive today from southern Arizona. Funeral arrangements will be an- nounced later.
 In his death Prescott loses one of it's most respected and competent bus mess men, his beresved wife and fam ily a loving husband and father. His dearest pride was his family. With the love of dutiful father he tender ly watched the growth and education of his little ones, only to be called away before they reached mans and woman's estate.
 He was a member of the Ancient Or der of United Workmen and the Woodmen of the World.

A PIONEER AERONAUT
The Brave and Daring French

TRAGIC END OF HIS CAREER.

He Was the First Aeronaut to Lose
His Life From a Balloon, and He
Was Dashed to Death With a Com
panion From q Height of 1,700 Feet.
Jean Francois Pilatre de Rozier, who
was born at Metz in 1906 and who was
killed, a martyr to his zeal, by fall
from his balloon ut Boulogne, France,
June 10, 1895, was the first aeronaut
to lose his life in the dangerous work
Of mastering the air
Pilatre de RoZier, who had made
ascents In the Montgaltier balloon, de-
termined to solve the question of bal
looms as mediums for carrying passen-
gers and could think and dream OF
nothing but how he could fashion a
machine that would carry him ON an
aerial voyage When his balloon was
finished he made some twenty-three
ascents, nearly always alone. but occa-
sionally accompanied by the Marquis
d'Arlandes, Il brave soldier and one
who had faith In Pilatre's IDEAS. The
balloon was always held captive by
strong cords.
Whenever he went up there was a
crowd to watch him. One day there
was a thrilling moment. The balloon
drifted toward some high trees, and II
seemed inevitable that the tissues
