10000 Miners TO STRIKE
WILL GO OUT UNsANcTIoNED BY
NATIONAL BODY. %
Crisis Brought About by Dispute Over
New Explosive Ordered by
State.

Pittsburg, Sept aforementioned
either by National President Lewis,
or by the national executive board Of
the United Mine Workers of America,
10000 union miners probably will 60
on strike in the Pittsburg district:
District leaders decreed the strike
after conference that has lasted two
days, between Pittsburg district mine
operators and union officials over the
use of black powder, the new explosive
ordered by the state in mining coal. ..
A proposition made during the con-
ference to have committee Of five
miners and five operators investigate
the use Of other permissible explo-
sives was bitterly opposed by District
President Feehan and ether local Of
ficers. Upon this proposition came the
wide split between the national and
district organizations, the miners, de.
creeing by vote to stand by their dis.
trict leaders.
President Lewis asserted he would
hold another conference with the opers
ators to settle the trouble. District
President Feehan declares, however,
that whether President Lewis holds
the conference or not, he will order
the men in his district to lay down
their tools. ::
The present trouble between the ma
tional and district organizations Is the
outgrowth of a long standing feud be-
tween President Lewis and President
Feehan, dating back to President
Lewis election to his present office.

 Ben Rybon, operating good mining ground near MeCabe, is in the city on business. He says that many prop critics are given development.

TO PRODUCE 100000, ,ooo TONS.

If it is assumed, says Walker in his weekly letter, that Ray Consoli- dated will ultimately develop and mine 1OO,OOO,OOO tons of ore, it will result in a production of 3,0O0,0O0,- 900 pounds of copper. The profit on this will average at least four to six cents per pound on a 13 to 15-cent copper market, equivalent to $1.20 to $1.SO net profit per ton of ore, or a total profit of $12O,0O0,OO0 to $780, 100000. If no more than 5O,OOO,OOO tons of ore is developed and extract ed, and copper is sold at an average of 14 cents, there will still be a profit of $75,OOO,OOO or $75 per share for Ray Consolidated's capital stock. When viewed from the standpoint of ultimate values and profits, therefore, it certainly is not surprising that there is strong buying demand for Ray Consolidated stock around $19 to $2O per share.

ELOP|NG MINISTER IS WANTED IN
 INDIANA
Authorities Asked To Watch Out for Re-
 Creant Divine
Frnm sacurday-s Daily,

A circular letter was received yes terday by the Prescott authorities from Linton, Ind, requesting that a lookout be kept for a former pastor, Rev. Edward A. Tilburn, and a young lady, Miss Mary Smith, formerly or ganist for the Christian church of Linton, which was in charge of the recreant divine.
 MT. Tilburn was dropped from the ministry and from the church as a result of his action, at a public meet ing, for conduct unbecoming a min ister and Christian gentleman. This action was taken November 3, almost two months after he and the church organist disappeared concurrently.
 Tilburn summoned Rev. McInotte Miller to aid him in a meeting for the purpose of securing funds for the erection of a church. MT. Miller ar rived in Linton September 13, but found a note from Tilburn, who had in the meantime left, saying that he would return to Linton Monday, Sep tember 20. As he did not return upon the date named nor write, in vestigation was begun. This revealed that he had met the church organist, Miss Smith, at a neighboring town and together they had gone to Chi cago. From that place no trace of the pair can be secured. Tilburn was married and had one daughter. Both are at present in Butte, Mont.
 Description of the minister and Miss Smith follow:
 The minister is about six feet tall, weighs 1855 pounds, smooth shaven, about 50 years of age, broad shoul- dered but slightly stopped, hair light colored, cut Henry Ward Beecher style, magnetic in appearance. Usual ly walks with a cane.
 Miss Smith is about five feet in height, weight 90 or 100 pounds, age 20, hair. dark auburn, eyes brown and rather large; left eye slightly crossed both eyes slightly almond-shaped. Vocal and instrumental musician of ability and good elocutionist.

IRRIGATION DAM ID COST FIVE
 MILLION

To make further plans for the big gest private irrigation project that has yet been promoted in Arizona, Attorney Dunne E. Fox of Washing ton, D. C.; M. J. Clark and Charles R. Flight of Detroit, Mich, and John R. Quinton, senior consulting engineer of the reclamation service, are in Phoenix to confer with Attorney J. M. Jamison and A. c. Sieboth, re- garding the San Carlos reservoir scheme, says the Republican.
 A. c. Sieboth is the man who visit ed Globe about a month ago and left from here with a corps of engineers for the purpose of making a survey of the San Carlos project for the Michigan capitalists.
 MT. Sieboth attends the meeting not only for the purpose of making a report of his survey but also a repre- sentative of certain Pinal county peo- pie interested in the project, and as the receiver for the Florence Canal company whose property was pur- chased by Slight and associates.
 Clark and Slight, both millionaire Michigan furniture manufacturers, are the financial packers of the project. Fox is the Washington attorney for the promoters. Quinton is the gov ernment engineer, Jamison is the To- cal attorney for the promoters and the locator of the San Carlos site, and Sieboth the representative of the pro- moters in Pinal county.
 Attorney Dunne has had charge of the fight which is being made by Clark and Slight before the interior department against the Southern Pa eifie company to prevent its building through Box canyon and destroying the San Carlos project. MT. Dunne has made a thorough study of the case and to the representatives of the "Globe" in Phoenix today he stated that in his opinion when the matter comes up for hearing shortly before Secretary Ballinger the railroad will be forever restrained from building through Box canyon.
 An estimate of the cost of build ing the San Carlos dam, recently made by MT. Slight, places the fig ure at $5,OOO,OOO The city of Globe will be the outfitting point for the contractors and workmen, which means that a good part of the five million will find it's way into this city.

INFORMATION IS FURNISHED
 ABOUT PITCH BLENDE

Dr. Herman F1eek, director of the Vinson Walsh research department of the Colorado School of Mines, has sent out the following to prospectors and others concerning pitch blende.
 ''Pitch blende occurs in Assure veins in igneous rocks like granite. It is valued for ts uranium and radium contents. It is now found in sedimentary rocks like sandstone, all though alteration products of it may be found theren. Such alteration products eolored yellow or greenish and when in sufficent concentration and quality are valued for their uranium contents. The radium value in these is small, as a rule.
 "Pitch blende is found in vein mat ter in stringers varying from knife blade thickness to several inches. It is 'bunchy.' The associated minerals in addition to vein matter are sul- phides such as zine blende, galens and from pyrte. The latter usually pre- dominates. It is detected in these streaks by the following qualities:
 "Color-Pitch black, velvety black, brownish, sometimes with a grayish or greenish cast. The streak of sought porcelain, i. e., the edge of a broken plate, is brownish black, olive green or grayish.
 "Luster-Dull, metallic, greasy pitchlike.
 "Fracture-Coneho that is with smooth curved surfaces to uneven.
 "Hardness-Less than quartz. It is not scratched by a knife blade unless weathered.
 Specific Gravity-Heavier than iron or steel, also heavier than galena.
 "The following common minerals are likely to be mistaken for pitch blende by prospeetors:
 "Obsidian or volcanic glass, which differs from pitch blende in its lightness, glassy luster and light streak.
 "Magnetite, which differs from pitch blende mainly in that it is at- tracted by the magnet.
 "Hematite, which differs from pitch blende mainly in possessing a red streak"

DOUGLAS COMP ANY SOON ID SHIP
 BULLION
Large Sum Received To Continue Mining
 Operations

The Douglas Dispatch says: The Dispatch learned yesterday, from un- questioned authority, that the Dawson Gold Mining and Milling company has secured an additional $125,000 of capital and will in a short time begin the shipment of bullion. The original capital stock of the company was $2OO,OOO This has been increased to $325, 1000, the additional stock having been sold to eastern capital, it is reported on good authority.
 The eompany's holdings are near Nacozari, the principal property being the old Creston de Gro, sold to the company by James Suits of this city. Work has always been somewhat handicapped by lack of funds. With the additional capital secured from the new stock the company considers all uncertainty done away with, and will in a short time begin regular shipments.
 The company is now working in ore which averages about $25 a ton. A large quantity has been developed and there is every indication that the company will be a steady shipper for many fears. A mill is now running which has a capacity of thirty tons daily. The cyanide process, combined with agitation secured by air, is used. The management plans to immediately increase the capacity of the mills.
 Dr. O. B. Dawson, a well known metallurgist of Fl Paso, is president of the company. T. A. Thurston of the same place, is seeretary-treasurer.

WORK OF BRUTE.

Salvador Altermano, who was sen fenced to serve fifty days in the city jail yesterday for brutal attack on an aged woman, was today transferred to the county jail on charge of az. gravated assault, says the Phoenix Democrat.
 Altermano, who is big and strong, has aroused much indignation by his attack on a woman Iitxy years old, part of whose hair he pulled out when he dragged her back from a neighbor's house, where she had fled to escape his kicks and blows.
 For some time Altermano has been living at the woman's house, and it is stated that this is not the first as- sault he has made on the woman. His attack yesterday was one that may result seriously with his victim on account of her advanced years.
