Explosion Shakes Town of Miami.

As a result of a premature ex- plosion of five charges of giant pow der at Maimi last week, two men were injured, two buildings damaged, traffic oyer the Maimi line delayed and the new town shaken up general ly. The accident occurred near the depot site, where cut is being made. Five charges of giant powder had been placed in the rocks with the in- tention of firing them at short in- tervals. Through some miscalcula- tion, the fuses were improperly timed and as the result, the five charges let go simultaneously.
 Rocks were thrown in every direc- tion. The rear end of the fuel and feed store of R. F. Jones was knock ed out, and two holes made in the roof of the saloon of Pepper & Peters.
 John Duncan, son of Constable w. G. Duncan, Twas knocked down and rendered unconscious for several minutes.
 Duncan saw a shower of rocks com ing in his direction and made run to get under cover. He had almost reached shelter when a boulder struck him on the shoulder. No bones were broken but he received pain ful injury.
 Another rock which struck build- ing and bounded off struck Deputy Sheriff Fred Russell on the hand, inflicting a slight injury.
 The railroad tracks were covered with debris and the Maimi train was delayed for some time before the road could be cleared.-Silver Belt.

Bryan Coming to Globe.

William Jennings Bryan will speak in Globe on Monday night, Novem- Der 22nd.
 Definite information to this effect was received by Pat Rose, chairman of a committee on arrangements, ap- pointed several weeks ago.
 The selection of a definite date comes through letter received from MT Bryan. The communication is as follows:
 My Dear MT. Rose:
 "Your favor at hand. I can speak in Globe on Monday night, Novem- Der 2, and it is entirely satisfactory to have the lecture under the auspices of the united churches, and I am pleased also to have banquet follow. Am not sure yet whether I shall reach Globe from Phoenix. Will notify you of direction later.
 "Yours truly,
 CIVILIAN JENNINGS BRYAN"
 MT. Rose and his colleagues, on re- ceipt of this communication, at once determined to secure an extension of MT. Bryan's visit for another day, in order that they might have the op. portunity of taking him over the Globe district.
 As the result, MT. Rose has wired MT. Bryan asking him to extend the time of his visit, but as he has ar ranged to lecture in Clifton on No vember 23rd, this was called of.
 The Territorial democratic central committee was also notified, as it is desired to have large delegation of Arizona democrats in Globe on the occasion of Mr. Bryan's visit.
 The lecture of the peerless leader will be given at Dreamland under the auspices of the United churches Globe Belt.

An Important Mining Deal.

A dispatch from Prescott last week stated that H. P. Dyson and E. T. Taylor, of Walker, made an import ant mining purchase when they bought outright the interest of N. J. Griffin in the Capitol North Mining claim in the Walker district. The purchase price was not made public, but is known to be a considerable amount, as the property is one of the producers of that section.
 H. P Dyson has been identified with Mir. Griffin in the development of the mine. They have made sev- eral mill runs of the ore in the last few months in the Pine Mountain mill that netted them handsome profits.
 Dyson and Taylor will decrease the force now employed on the mine and push its development on a larger scale than ever,

Plant Being Erected Near Old Brick
Yard-Tanks in Place-Com-
pany Ready for Business.

The Texas Oil Company, under the
direction of Supt. T. w. Liable and
Agent Tarleton, is making considera
bic progress in the construction of a
large warehouse, stables, offices, etc
for the transaction of an extensive
business at this point. Three large
tanks have already been erected and
filled with Oil. Yesterday the plant
was opened for business and it is I'M
derstood that the company will com.
pete for local trade as well as na,,,
this distributing point for a large
trade in all the surrounding towns
and parishes. The permanent char
acter and extent of the plant indicate
the intention of the new concern to
enlarge the capacity of it's storage
tanks and facilities, as the business
grows, and there seems no doubt that
local people will soon enjoy the bene-
fits of strong competition for the To-
cal oil trade.
The plant is situated at the head
OF Clinton street near the old brick
yard and has secured private switch
ing privileges. Mr.. E. Miller is in
charge OF the construction and the
foundations are being laid in cement.

Game Preserve of the Alaska Yukon
Pacific Exposition embraces an area
OF ten acres, and is located on the
shores of Lake Washington. The land
within the enclosure has been left in
its wild condition. and nothing in the
way of clearing will be done other
than is actually necessary. The coll

tensive, and embraces many rare and
peculiar specimens. In the territory
Of Alaska representatives of the gov
ernment have been actually employed
for the past two years in prosecuting
the work of collection, and their ef-

panther, timber wolf, polar bear and
all smaller creatures whose haunts
are far from the places frequented by
man, will be exhibited. These various

A new RICE CANAL.

Through the courtesy of Mr.. Dave
Spell of the second ward, we are in
formed that the Hunter Canal Com.
pany propose soon to build a lateral
from the main canal extending into
the ward as far as DR.. A. O. Clarks
place near Ridge and from there west
for several miles. In all about 12
miles of laterals are contemplated.
This will add very largely to the area
of rice lands in the parish, two sur
veys having been made, but the exact
location of the channels is not yet
known. The construction of these ca
nails is in response to a demand By
many farmers who have been compell
ed to abandon cotton totally or in
part on account Of the boil weevil. Mr..
Spell reports crops generally very
good, but needing rain very badly. The
acreage in cotton has been reduced
fully one fourth and the quantity OF
corn correspondingly increased. !,

EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Or. Parker Preached Special Sermon
Sunday at Methodist Church on
Importance of League.

A large congregation greeted ? Rev
F. S. Parker at the Methodist church
Sunday morning, whodelivered a most
interesting sermon on the work of the
Young Peoples Society, the Epworth
League. A special musical program
was rendered and the congregation es-
pecially enjoyed the solo by Miss Wise.
Among the Visitors was DR.. Gilchrist,
of New Orleans, who occupied a seat
in the pulpit with the pastor and DR..
Parker. In his sermon DR.. Parker in.
sisted on some organization within the
church which can afford an expression
of the personal experience in the
Christian life. This is the object of
the Epworth League and it has become
a very strong factor inthe training of
young people for Christian service. It
has inspired a number Of young men
to become ministers and contributes
largely to the missionary work of the
church. DR.. Parker is an interesting
speaker and held the close attention
of the congregation throughout his
sermon.
An Epworth League has recently
been organized in the local Methodist
church and it promises to become a
strong factor in the religious work of
this town. The presence of DR.. Par
ker here was especially to encourage
the organization and his sermon will
doubtless stimulate the work.
