WinsIOW Notes. From the Mail. Rich Strike By Railroad
 Men

The following from the Needles Eye will be of interest to a mum Der of ouv residents:
 The Dunkirk Mining company an organization composed ol railroad men, with properties located some forty-6ve miles south of here, has opened up q body of ore that is bound to en. list the attention of conservative inning men. This company has been developing it's properties since last June, under the person al supervision of B. L. Holmes, president and general manager.
 Last Wednesday Mr..E. Gib- son, division superintendent of the A. T. & $. F. railway, with headquarters at Winslow, arriv- ed m the city. He is also treasur- CT of the Dunkirk Mining com. pany, and owns considerable stock in the corporation. Messrs. Gibson and Holmes, accompanied by Mir. Kelly, q mining expert, visited the properties this week, and so far as can be learned, these gentlemen appear more than we'll satisfied with the re- suit of their trip
 The writer, however, having had an interview with Mir. Holmes, whom he has known for several years, is able toplace this bit of, information before the readers of the Eye. Mir. Holmes stated to him that on the first visit made to the mine with Mir. Kelly and from samples taken at that time, he had returns of $372 40 in gold, SPA % in cop per and $1.9S in silver. The second visit, of which Mir. Gibson was member of the party, re- suited in getting some very nice returns from samples taken after further development work had been done and a better showing made in this particular body of ore, the samples assaying as fol- lows: $1O2. 40 in gold and $6.95 in silver; another, S9S gold, $1O2 .91 in silver and $SS.OS in copper; and still another, $190.SO in gold and $5.6 60 in silver. These assays were from samples taken from what is considered a gener- al average of the conditions in which the ore was displayed in which the ore was displayed in the openings.
 The strike will materially strengthen the arguments ad- vanced by mining men of the stability of ore values in the Parker country

Santa Fe Loses in Riuh
 Court.

" tOiit ANAtAt>H c' AAh "S7 cidng the case of the Atchison
 Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company versus George A. Sow CTS, against the company, the United States Supreme Court yesterday construed dellcate question concerning the applica- tion of the laws of one jurisdic. tion m another. It was an ac. ton for damages brought in a Texas court by Sewers, q brake
 man on the railroad and citi- zen of Arizona, caused by an ac cident which occurred in New Mexico. The trial court award ed $5, ,OOO and that verdict was affirmed by yesterdays decision. The injury was sustained by Sewers while riding on the ten der of an engine in assisting in switching. and the railroad com pany contended that because he was on the tender he was guilty of contributorv negligence. The Texas court decided, however. that as running on the engine was customary with trainmen, it did notcOnstitute contributory negligence. The railroad com pany sought to have the disposi- tion of the case controlled by a law of New Mexico prohibiting the bringing in another jurisdic- ton of suits for damages sus- tained in that territory The Texas court held this law to be applicable only to citizens of New Mexico and not binding on oth- CTS, and the Supreme Court sus- tained this view.
 Mir. Sewers, well known to Winslo owites, has received con6r. nation of the above item from his attorneys, Patterson & Wal lace of Fl Paso, who state that settlement has already been made by the Santa Fe in accord ance with the judgment rendered.

IN the afternoon a hymn was sung,
followed by the devotional exercises
conducted by Mrs. Walter Hood.
The woman's conference discussion
was a most profitable and interesting
one, each auxiliary telling a different
strong point it had attained and how
they could be helpful to othes auxili-
aries.
The children's hour was a most hap
by part of the program and was in
charge of Miss Davies, who wore a
Chinese costume for this talk, which
she gave so entertainingly.
In the evening, after the opening
scriptural service and a beautiful dou-
bic quartet sung by Messrs. Gates,
Taylor, Little, Moore, Gerig, Blalock,
Phillips and Nash, Miss Davies deliv-
cred a very splendid address on the
missionary work. She is a delightful
talker and thoroughly covered her
subject, and in a style that was en-
joyable to all her listeners. She dis
cussed her subject in a most magnet
ic manner and it is a treat to have
had her visit Ocala.
