 TO HAVE SHELTER
(From Fridays pailYl


 Reports that reach this city from the camp of the Brooklyn Arizona Mining company on Squaw creek, state that it is rapidly resuming large proportions in its equipment, and when present plans are carried out, its mechanical facilities will have few superioIs, if any, in the local mining field Recently the management has installed a large amount of ma chinery, and it is said to be of the latest and best manufacture, and is being rapidly placed in position. Fol lowing this outlay for mine equip ment the statement is also given publicity that inside of the next nine ty days the construction of their shelter will commence. This in itself is a movement of importance, the favorable conditions prevailing below in the riine work demanding the in troduetioE of facilities to treat the product. thereby reducing to the mini mum the cost of handling the output after It reaches the surface. The in- troduetiOn of this plant is substantial evidence that the property has passed the prospect stage and is now regard ed as .. producer of permanenee.
 In about ten days the management states, the present one shift system will give way to two shifts of miners, and after thirty days three full shifts will be placed to work. It is the purpose to continue on this basis, and to get production to the highest point.
 2 As to the new machinery that has recently reached this camp, there is new boiler, giving combined eapae- ity of nearly 300 horse power A new and improved double hoist is also on the ground. The largest air compressor in the territory has also been installed, carrying fifteen drills. One of the heaviest gallus frames ever placed on any mine in this sec tion is up and it will support a good sized locomotive. The company is also installing at the present time an improved system of electric lighting equipment, with a capacity of 1000 lights. The power will be furnish ed by :; turbine dynamo, of the lat est design in manufacture These and other lesser equipments make up one Of the most complete surface plants iE that section.
 A three compartment shaft is also to be sunk on the main works and five new and eommodious bunk houses, together with a large office for company purposes are likewise be- ing constructed. A few days ago carload of cement was shipped, which will be used for the foundation of the new machinery. The properties owned by this company lie about thirty mIIes to the southwest of Mayer, on Squaw creek.

DEMAND HEAVY
 FOR TUNGSTEN ORE
Many Uses Are Found For Rare Metal Recently Discovered In
 Yavapai County.

Among other tungsten steels are the following: Tungsten spring s.tsIs,
 tungsten steel safes, tungsten steel sounding plates for pianos, tungsten steel piano wire, tungsten steel wire cables, tungsten steel mechanics tools and other instruments requiring hard ness; tungsten steel magnets which have the eapability of holding 6 higher degree of magnetism; tung- sten steel vessel plates and frames, which resist the eorroding influences of sea water and give additional strenth and sea worthiness; tungsten nickel alloy, carrying 75 per cent tungsten, is used in the manufacture of the well known nickel tungsten steel.
 An alloy of aluminium and tunS sten known as "partinium is now extensively used in automobile construction. This alloy is very iight and strong. The resistance to oxidi- zation of this alloy is far superior to copper. Partinium is also the most desirable metal for airship COZ struetion.
 Tungsten has proven a valuable friend to the steel industry, where it has accomplished great things, but of far more value to the average per son was the advent of tungsten in the electrical world. Tor 20 years scientists and inventors were seek ing night and day to improve the electric ineandeseent lamp, not know ing that the secret lay right under their hands in the form of the rare metal tungsten, then well known in every laboratory and already finding it's place in the steel industry. When it was demonstrated that metal fila ments for incandeseent lamps could be made of tungsten, giving longer life, better light and saving each two-thirds of his regular bill, then the fame of tung- sten became world wide and every mining district prospeeted for tung- sten ores.
 The ancient alehemists sought in vain for the philosophers stone" which was to turn the baser metals nto gold and little did they dream IS they tried in vain to extract the Swedish "heavy stone" from it's ores hat the metal they made a brief lote of and threw aside in disgust would one day save millions and mil ions of gold dollars for every user If electric light and every purchaser If high grade steel tools and instru- nents for construction work.
 The enormous importance of this lew mineral is becoming more and nore recognized and generally under tood. The more general demand for ungsten began in 1900, at which time he price was only $40 to $21O per on for 70 per cent concentrates. The uses of tungsten have inee so enormously increased, new sed being discovered almost daily, hat there is now an unlimited de- land for the metal-far exceeding he supply. As a result, the price ad aneed to approximately s7OO per ton or the present year with a rising larket.
 The United States is already an i'm ortant factor in furnishing the 'orld's supply of this valuable min ral and the profitable character of lngsten mining is stimulating the 'areh for new deposits to a remark ble degree.

HARTMAN SUCCUBIBS IN
 HIS FIGHT WITH DEATH

ARDEN, x. r., Sept. 9.-Edward Henry Hartman, the greatest rail road organizer the world ever knew, met the only lasting defeat of his career today at the hands of death.
 Secluded in his magnificent home on Tower Hill, he succumbed to an in testinal disorder after a fight against the disease that for sheer grit ranks with his remarkable struggles in the financial world.
 The exact time of his death is known only to those at his bedside. As given out, the time was 3:35 o'clock this afternoon but his sister, Mrs. Simmonds, said it was 1:3O p. m. Whether the discrepancy was. an intentional effort to lessen the in fluenee on the stock market is prob lematical, but it is significant that the time of his death was officially announced just 35 minutes after trad ing had ceased on the New York Stock exchange.
 A Peaceful Death.
 Hartman died peacefully. To the end his brilliant mind remained clear. When the end appeared impending his wife, two sons and two unmarried daughters were assembled at his bed side and motor car was dispatched for his sister, Mrs. Simmonds. She, with the physicians who had been fighting death, Orlando Hartman, his brother and the nurses formed a group at the bedside as the spirit of the wizard of finance departed.
 No spiritual adviser was at hand. The swiftest auto was sent for Rev. J. H. McGuinness, but death reached Tower Hill first.
 Secrecy Maintained.
 With the secrecy maintained throughout his illness and unbroken to the very end, the news of Harri- mans death was conveyed to New York before it reached the village in the valley. RumOrs of his demise were so constant during the past ten days that itle credence was given the report from that city. So it was distinct shock when confirmation was sought by telephone and a voice an swered: "Yes, that's correct. MT. Hartman died at 3:35."
 Soon after the hundred workmen engaged on the uneOmpleted estate learned of their employers death when a page came out and said sim ply: "YOu may quit work. MT. Hartman is dead"
 Orlando Hartman said his brother would be inferred in the family plot in the Arden church yard, beside his eldest son, Edward H. Jr., who died twenty-two years ago.

Tbe venomons editor of the Duncan Record, commonly known as "GlOomy Gus O'Brien," stopped the Otber day in his course of tearing down everything that is good, decent and holy in the city of Juneau to burl handful of his filth at the editor of this paper. We know nothing about this fellows past other than the general belief that he has either escaped from penitentiary or Iunatio asylum. We only know that since coming to Juneau a few months ago he has done nothing but vomit forth the most villainous rot ever read iD this part of the North. None have escaped him, the poor and the rich, the weak and the powerful have alike been the objects of his at tack. The only exceptions are those who have dug deep into their pockets and paid largely in cash. And even those who have paid him we'll for bis support have suffered, for SO thorough ly is he despised that the cause that he supports immediately falls under sus- picion and shares the hatred which he deserves. He is not only a man with out friend, but all honest people are his enemies, fact which he we'll knows, for when he walks the streets in his hand is tightly clutChed weapon to protect him from the righteous wrath that hangs suspended over his head. His very name has got to be curse, and mothers in that town frighten their children by telling them that if they are bad 'IGloomy Gus" will get them. That is the man who has attacked the editor of the News, because he is jeal- ous of the job work given this paper by the Tresdwell company. But we are not sad or cast down; we are glad and proud to be included among those he hates,

is of judicial turn of mind; we would not be surprised if he is lawyer. When he states that "no one of the de- feated candidates is union man," it would almost indicate that he is one of the defeated ones himself, for who else could have known it. Perhaps he was a little disappointed at the outcome of the election.
 When he calls the News the "DOug- las Gossiper," 1t shows that he is op- posed to the carrying of tales and the retailing of scandal around the corner. We judge by this that the private life of Douglas has always been above re- proach; that DO taint of sin has ever poisoned his blood.
 Besides the gentle reproof contained in the title "Gossiper," there Is also mild sarcasm in the appellation of @TreadwelI Pink Tea Gazette" But we hope that the ladies of Treadwell who sometimes indulge in pink teas will not be alarmed. It is easy to see that "Douglas" is a confirmed old bachelor.
 "Douglas" is not a music lover, for he alludes to the efforts of the Tread we'll Club band as noises" although he did not uphold either those who drank whiskey or shouted.
 It will no doubt be we'll for the people of Douglas and the editor of the News to heed the teachings of this great and wonderful man. That he is great, wonderful and very wise we judge by the fact that be signs himself ~Douglas." If he had chosen for d DOm de plume ''Citizen," 'Subsoriber," " SWen.wisher" or SSquaw-man," we had not given the article second reading, but as "Douglss" we know be is pos sessed of the acme of knowledge. His is the wise bead, the superior judg- ment, the great statesmanship which should have led the people of this town to select him not only as member of the cOuDcil, but as mayor, had they only known. But of course, no one has all idea who "Oouglas" is.

A ''Sore-Head"

That all the people of Douglas Island may share the fun, we reprint the fol lowing article which appeared in the Juneau Dispatch, under the head Communicated"
 "As usual, Hopp, of the Douglas Gossiper and Treadwell Pink Tea Gazette,' sits on the fence while any thing is doing snch as an election, a canvass, etc, and when it is decided, jump~ nff and kicks the defeated party in his usual brave manner.
 'tP. pvlous 10 tbe last election m Dougla, be had nothing 10 say either in his paper or out of it; but as soon as the election was obtained not won m favor of the Treadwen company he piles abnse on the defeated candidates calls them semi Western COnfed- sratrop Combination aud indirectly says they were fighting against 'prln' eiple,' says 'Douglas was given over to rejoicing, the band played and the people shouted
 "Mr. Hopp knows this to be nntrne or if he don't kDow 1t to be ODtrue be knows nothing aboot it, in either case he knowingly states falsehood; for he knows positively that no one of the defeated candidates is union man and were Sighting the union Ill last year at city election on account ot city government. The Treadwell band did play and were paid we'll for 1t by the winning candidates. The only re- ioicing in Douglas was by part of the candidates who obtained re election, the Colouists and few free whlskey drinkers, as for shouting We can't say for two of the candidates who obtained 8 reelection drowned all noises by their own shouting.
 "Mr. Hopp says whatever may be said of the people of Alaska they are certainly supporters of 'prineiple.' We suppose be refers to the Colon ists' near Breevills and the Canteen Suburbs.' But they will soon move away, now that the election is over. The Cordoya election IS past history. 1t is to laugh ss to that principle business. If the Liberal ticket had won we might have expected from the Fence Rider of the Douglas Gossiper and Treadwell Pink Tea Gazette some thing like the following: The people of Alaska are certainly supporters oS principle. They don't believe in false registration, colonizing, governing ot one town by another, through paid agent, partisan judges, intimidation and boycotting of candidates NntA they have to give up their American yights.'

Last Thursday evening when the Daily Dispatch came over from Juneau there was great excitement in Douglas, caused by the above article signed by Douglas" All thirteen of the Doug las subscribers of that great metro politan daily began to wonder who in the world eonl6 have written it. Of course none of them knew.
 The News is not any better informed on that subject than anyone else. How ever, a careful reading of the article will give some idea as to the character and ability of the author.
 In the first place we can feel certain that he is a very brave man-net a timid, covering creature like the editor of the News. Tbs reason that VIC are SO confident that he is brave IS because he signed himself Douglas" instead of by his real name. By this means he was enabled to lambast the people of this wicked town with no danger to himself. Discretion is said to be the better part of yalor. Douglas" is no doubt something of a soldier.
 It is also easy to see that "Douglaa"
