Important Strike at DemOcrata Mine.

What is pronounced to be one of the best ore discoveries ever made in the Cananea mining district was one which resulted from the striking of a rich body of sulphide ore by the Democrata mining. company at a'point but a few feet from the boundary line of their property, where it joins onto the Greene-Cananea. Steps are being taken by the company to inn mediately proceed with the develop ment of the ore body, which IS be- lieved to be quite an extensive one. The Democrata company, which is principally ownd by H. H. Huffman of Cincinnati, O., has long been de- signated by mining men as the rich est property ot that vicinity, although the space of it's operations are limited on account of the smaller number of perteuencias comprising its holding. Its ores have been declared the best for smelting purposes produced in the Cananea district on account or their being impregnated with lime and iron so that they were practically self fluxing
 Since the panic of 1907 when the property was closed down, no work except that of exploration has been going on and it was in the course ot this that the big body which IS caus- ing some excitement in Cananea, was discovered. The ore was followed clear to the side line of~ Demo- crata apparently growth ger wltn each foot attained and arso growing richer. T.
 It is now believed that the ols- covery will add 10 a great extent 10 the activities of the Greene-Oanahea people in that vicinity with e&Geeo- ingly favorable results at the snelcer, as the ore is said to maintaln the general character of the other Dem crata ores and will be very useful as huX.-Bisbee Review.

A Douglas Negro Escapes From Jail.

As neat jail break as was ever perpetrated was accomplished in Douglas last week by burly negro named Charles Moore, who was inn prisoned in the city calaboose on a charge of vagrancy. He cleanly sawed through a three-quarter inch iron bar and then worked his body through an eight inch space which seems all too small to have admitted the passage of so great bulk. He effected his escape and no sign of him has been found beyond the result of the work he accomplished.
 A sturdy negro was arraigned be- fore Judge Rice on a charge of vagrancy and was sentenced to spend ten days working on the city streets. He gave his name as Charley Moore. That night he was locked up in one of the cells of the upper tier and left for the night. In the morning he was gone and a bar of the cell door had been cleanly sawn through and bent back to permit passage, even though the place for egress was re- stricted.
 The theory of the officers is that Moore had hoop saw strapped to his leg and used this to effect his escape. His clothing was thoroughly searched before his incarceration and no weapons or implements of any kind were found. It is also believed that he is a crook, wanted somewhere, and feared that he would be found and returned to some point for some serious crime, possibly burglary, for the work he did was that of an ex- pert. He undoubtedly lost no time in getting out of Douglas.-Inter-

Selling Agencies Think Nov. Will See
 Reduction in Stocks.

A Boston distatch says. The cop
 per selling agencies which have ven-
 tured an estimate concerning the
 forthcoming statement of the Copper
 Producers association state that they are confident there will be a reduction
 in stocks during the month of Novem-
 Der. The United Metals Selling com
 pany adheres to its normal quotation of 13 1-4, but electro is obtainable in large quantities elsewhere at F 2-3 to l3 cents and the natural assumption is that the United Metals Selling company is getting only the 'over- flow" The smaller Lake Superior companies are taking business at 13 cents to 13 & for lake grades. The Stanton interests in the past few weeks have sold between three and four million pounds at 13 Is cents.
 When the D cent dividend just de- clared on Butte Coalition shares is made payable December next, two years will have elapsed since the pre- vious disbursement. Up to Decem b-r, 1907, when l5 cents per share was paid, the company had disbursed since its organization in 1906 S2,450,- 900 dividends on its 100000 shares. Butte Coalition is produc- ing very close to 4O,OOO.OOO pounds of copper per annum at cost of 10 cents per pound. On 13-cent copper the indicated profits are equal to Sl.2O per share as against current dividend re- quirements of S1 per share per an- nun. On December 31 next the com pany will conclude the best year in its history and will show a record pro- duction as we'll as the lowest costs. Through the opening of the new Tramway shaft a much larger ore tonnage has been available while large portion of dead work formerly charged up to the cost of operation has been completed. Butte Coalition has a cash surplus approximating S4 ,OOO, 900 and this has been kept intact since organization.

An Awful Fate.

The Lordsburg Liberal had the fol-
 lowing to say last week regarding the
 horrible death of two young men, who
 seem to have been convicted before
 they were tried: Monday Thos.
 Chastaiu, the railroad watchman, ar
 rested couple of young hoboes for
 stealing. It was claimed they had
 broken into refrigerator car and
 stolen two or three dozen lemons,
 which they proba ply intended trading
 for something to eat. Chastain locked
 them up in the calaboose. They
 were desperate characters, being
 train robbers, train robbing being
 felony in New Mexico, the penalty of
 which is death, and so Chastain hand cuffed them together. About ten
 o'clock that night there was an alarm of fire, which proved to be the cala-
 boose. The people first at the fire say that the fire was all on the inside of the building. Chastain got there and unlocked and opened the door, and called to the men to come out. There was no answer to the call. The interior of the building was a mass of flames, and it was impossible for any man to go in. The hose was laid, and soon playing water on the flames and extinguished them, when the two men were found in the room farthest from the door, both dead, with their faces to a little crack near the floor. They were not burned much, and pro- bably came to their death from suf- location. The building was made of 2x4 lumber, with walls four inches thick, the pieces being spiked togeth- CT. It is about twenty years old and the men thought they could burn the door so that they could loosen it and get out, and that the fire got away from them. 4 Mexican woman who lives near the place says she heard cries and yells from the building, but she could not understand them, not being familiar with English. She often hears drunks yelling in the building, and so thought nothing of the noise. No inquest was held, as Judge McGrath said everyone knew how the men came to their death, aud an inquest was unnecessary. Boxes were made and they were buried. Their names were not known, and nothing was found on them to identity them. It was a lamentable affair but as far as the Liberal can see there was no one to blame for it but the two victims. They were un- doubtedly tramps, they were thieves, they were locked up to await trial, they tried to burn their way out, and the fire they set caused their death. Prisoners have several times tried to set the calaboose afire, but they never have been successful, and never be- fore have the efforts accomplished such horrible results.

Knudsen Process of Treating COppC Ore

During the last three years the whole of the paying ore at Sulitjelma, Norway, has been smelted in Knudsen furnaces, the capacity of which has been gradually increased from tons to 20 tons. The furnaces are. lined with magnesite blocks, set close to- gether, and treated with a bind of magnesite mortar and tar applied hot. The wear is confined to the un- der portion of the furnace, up to about 30 to 50 inches above the tuyeres; and the rate of wear is com plratively small, the large furnaces having a working life of 179 to 459 charges before needing repair. There are two grades of ore; the one purely pyritic, while the other is rich in chlorite. The former yields a fusible slag, but the viscosity of the latter is greatly increased by additions of the chloritic ore; and on this account the slag is run into fore-hearth and left to settle for one and one-half hours before powdered pyrites added to the slack in the fore hearth will greatly improve it's purity. Two men are sufficient to work the furnace, an other two attending to the fore hearth and producer leach fore e-hearth sutfic ing for two to three furnaces.] The cost of working the process is given as about 75 cents per ton of ore [wages and materially or 4.3S Norwegian crowns per ton, including carriage of ore to works, and fuel.
 The first Kuudsen furnace to be used in this country is now being in stalled at the United Verde mine at Jerome, and will have a capacity of l5O tons a day, and will be thoroughly tested on the lower grade pyritic ores in the mine carrying less than 5 per cent copper. As miners wages and fuel in Norway cost about the same as in the United States a fair test of the efficiency and economy of the furnace may be expected.-Min- ing World.

Find Indictments for Tucson Broker.

ca two counts, each for embedding money entrusted to him while he maintained brokerage offices in Phoe- nix, Tucson and Nogales, Frank J. O'Brien was indicted in Tucson by the Pima county grand jury.
 O'Brien is charged in one indict- ment with having embedded, $500 from Chris Christenden. Christenden claims that he gave the money to O'Brien shortly before his failure, and that instead of investing the sum, used it for other purposes.
 The second indictment is based on allegations made by w. V. Elliott, Tucson mining man, who claims that he gave O'Brien 5000 to invest in mining stocks, and that O'Brien used the money for some other purpose.
 Local interest in O'Brien's indict- ment centers around his arrest on charges made by w. G. Lentz that he gave O'Brien s25O to buy stocks anl that he has never since seen either the money or the stocks.
 O'Brien was bound over to the grand jury iu Phoenix on the Lentz charges and liberated on bail, after ward being rearrested on the Elliott charge in Tucson. It is understood that no action will be taken against O'Brien there until the outcome of the Tucson cases is learned.
 Efforts are being made in Tucson by O'Briens friends to get him out of jail on bail pending his strial.-Citizen.

phiIIipson Held on Additional Charges.

Three additional indictments were returned against J. c. Phillipson by the Globe grand jury, charging him with embezzlemehts, making a total of four indictments on which the de- fendant may be tried.
 The three indictments charge Phil lipson with embedding sums of S900, $500 and S22812, s1728.12 in all, from the Consolidated Realty company, of which he was manager at the time of his alleged peculations several months ago.
 Pnillipson was lodged in jail on an indictment which followed the origi nal indictment on which he was ar rested.
 Tn the district codrt last week the original indictment was dismissed on the sustaining of a demurrer by counsel, F. c. Jacobs and J. W. Murphy. The indictment on which he was arrested last week, however, was sustained.
 This charge is that of embedding about $500 from Mrs. Anna N. Clark. It is alleged thSv Phillipson sold stock in the Angora Goat company for Mrs. Clark, pocketed the proceeds and gave his client whorthless checks for the amount.
 On this charge, Phillipson entered a plea of not guilty.-Belt.

Deal is Reported on For Washington.

According to the Bisbee Review a big mining deal is about to be con- summated in the Sonora river dis trict and the Washington mine is to change hands as the result of a visit made to the property by James Kirk and Dr. L. D. Ricketts. Just what the deal is to be is seemingly clouded.
 The Washington property, which is located near Huepec on the Sonora river adjoins the Phillipi mine, one of the best known properties in that portion of Sonora. Recently Dr. Ricketts, MT. Kirk and James Doug las left Arizre tor the property, giv- ing out no word of the object of their visit other than that it might have something to do with transfer.
 Word was received at Arizpe by an official that the party would return shortly and for him to have legal papers prepared for a transfer, but again no inkling of the contracting parties was given. As the Washing ton has been developed by MT. Bost- wick and associates largely through the aid of James Douglas, it is be- lieved in some quarters that he has bought a controlling interest in the property after being satisfied as to it's worth by an inspection conducted by Dr. Ricketts and MT. Kirk.
 Another version of the pending deal is that the c. & A. company is acquiring the property, which is COZ sidered a promising one.
