Curious Mourning Custom.

A curious mourning custom obtains
among central Australians, who. al
though representing, perhaps the low
est and most degraded type of huma I
beings. have managed to evolve most
complex system of rites and cere-
monies, which governs almost every ac-
ton of their lives. When a husband
dies the widow paints herself all over
with white pigment, and for the space
of a year must not exhibit herself to
a male member of the tribe on pain Of
death. For the rest of ner life, unless
she marries again. which is sometimes
allowed, she must not speak. but COM
municate with the other women by
means Of a sign language, consisting
of movements Of the hands and fingers,
which has been developed by these saw
ages to marvellous extent, and by
which their limited stock of ideas can
be fully pressed.-Dundee Advertiser.

She Predicts Disaster.

Maud Lord Drake, who has spirit
ualistic tendencies and calls herself a
human seismOgraph, predicts that a
disaster of dire proportions is immi-
nent somewhere on this continent. She
declares that she foretold the Calves
earthquake, and warned the inhabi-
tants of both these cities weeks be-
forehand that destruction was upon
them. She also lays claim to a fore
warning of the Slocum disaster, the
Collingwood, Ohio, school fire, and
the recent series of earthquakes in for
eign lands. She said yesterday:
''These disturbances confuse and dis
tress me beforehand in proportion to
their destructiVeness and nearness. On

then came a hurrying of spirits, hither

province of Turkestan, in western Per-
STA, sixty villages and more than g.
900 people were destroyed. Then came
the eruption of the Colima volcano in
Mexico. and a month later the de-
struction of Messina.
But the worst is to come. For
many months, at various times, have
been, and am now, in the shadow of
something even more appalling and de-
trate the gloom as yet, but it seems
that it must be in this country, and
that I must be in it. In addition to

try there is to be another merciless

Tonopah Line Unable to Cope with

The Tonopah & Goldfeld railroad, which handles most of the smelter ores out of the Goldfeld camp, is unable to cope with the rush of high grade ores and has ordered several new train crews into commission. The company states that there has not been such q demand for steel ears as they have ex- perienced within the past week, when two days 1000 tons of high grade gold ore were sent out on an average ship ping basis of five hundred dollars per ton. Sunday was spent along the rail road clearing switches of loaded ears and arranging for better facilities for dispatching business.
 The Western Ore Purchasing Com pany estimates that fifteen hundred tons are awaiting shipment with an indefinite quantity back of that. This activity has not been equaled for two years.

Positive that oil in paying quantity will be struck in the well being sunk by the Yavapai Oil and Mining Com pany near Valley siding, O. H. Jones, who located the well for the company six years ago, declared here last night that the oil fields of YavapaI county would be of greater value than the United Verde mine in the next few years.
 MT. Jones is an expert oil locator and a geologist and petrolologist of national reputation in the oil industry. He returned here last night from a visit to the eonpauy's well and the surrounding country.
 "In my nine years experience in the oil elds of Pennsylvania, Colorado, Kansas, woming and California, l never saw geological eondiations as favorable for large flows of oil as here,'' he said to a Journal-Miner rep resentative. "I know there is oil in tho upper Verde country. Chino val ley will also prove rich as will Lone some valley, where the conditions are as favorable as any oil fields in the country. I located virgin fields IT Colorado and Kansas, and have been connected with the industry in Califor nia six years. The oil is here, and al that is necessary is to sink wells.

Martin Waer and Pedro Pellon are owners of the Copper King claims in the Tucson mountins, which give prom ise of yielding large output of ehal- eopyrite. At least this is vouehed for by the Tucson Star, which says:
 Under a body of carbonates in the King shaft, a solid body of ehaleopy- rite had been struck last week. The ex- tent of the body just opened cannot be determined until further work has been done. Aessrs. Gould, Gray and Pickett, each estimate that the ore will run IS to 20 per cent on an aver age.
 The waer-Pellon property is under lease to Percy Crymbie of Bisbee, who recently entered into contract with the Southern Arizona Smelting Comps' ny at Saseo, whereby the ores from the Copper King will be treated at figure satisfactory to Crymble.
 The haul by wagon from the Copper King to saseo is 24 miles and th' road between the mining camp ana sasco is said to be in good order.
 The visitors to the district pass by the Gold mine, where nothing is beinI done st this time. Several thousand tons of ore have been shipped to Glob' from the Gould, before the pani caused suspension of shipments Worl on the Gould will be resumed this yea but at present MT.

TERRIBLY TORN BY WIRE,
 BOY AND HORSE BADLY HURT
From Thursdays Daily)

Riding in a horse race yesterday afternoon at o'clock in the Murphy park in West Prescott, Wiliie Conklin lost control of his mount, which cashed into a barbed wire renee, painfully wounding him and seriously wDundiDg his mount. The flesh of the calf of Conklin s left leg was torn away. He was painfully bruised on the body in the fall. Immediately after the acci- dent he was taken to the home of L.. V. Mockridge on North Granite street, where a surgeon dressed his wounds.
 The horse was cut in several places on the legs and body. A veterinary surgeon dressed the cuts on the animal which required IA stitches to pull to- gether. The horse is owned by l.. N. Mockridge. Its condition is considered serious and it is believed the owner will shoot it to relieve its misery.
 Young Conklin was employed as "bell-hop" in the Hotel St. Michael. He is a popular boy and very attentive to business. His many friends regret to learn of the accident.
 Kenneth Mockridge, his companion and playmate, who was riding another horse in the race, hurried to the city for help after the accident.
