APACHE INDIAN HAS HORRIBLE DEATH -: Electric Shock Which He Received Proved
 Fatal
,From Tuesdays Dailyl

After one month of untold agonies and the most intense suffering, an Apache Indian from the Verde val ley, who was caught on a live wire from the line of the Arizona Power company, died at Mayer yesterday afternoon.
 Attending this accident, but little could be learned, other than the man was engaged in duties as a laborer when the line was being strung, and was not familiar with the effect of handling the wires that were charged with the electrical current. Imme- diately after the accident he was taken to the Mayer hospital, and an effort was made by the physician at that place to treat his wounds. But as time went by it was soon realized that human agency was fruitless. His arms and limbs were burned, while that portion of his body at other points that was reached by the cur rent was likewise affected. His flesh on the arms and legs began to decay and drop off and his physical appear anee was a ghastly one from one end of his person to the other.
 His sufferings were exerutiating un- til death relieved him of his earthly misery This is the first fatality from coming in contact with the wires of this company since the line has left the camp of this company at Fossil Creek.

DEVELOPMENT FOR YEA
 GER CANYON CLAIMS
CFrom Thursdays DaIly)

After several days of an examina tiOn made of the properties of the Arizona Verde Copper and Gold Min ing company, located in Yeager Can yon, south of Jerome, Messrs, A. A C. Ames, the president and general manager of the Mineral Lands Fi. nance company, of San Francisco. and Fred Craumer, the secretary and treasurer of the same company, have decided to take it over and begin the work of developing the group.
 These gentlemen left yesterday for their home, and gave out a statement to this effect. Associated with them in the enterprise are Dr. J. c. liar yer, F. C. Mcclure and E. E. Farm lee, prominent mining men of Cali 1ornia, who will soon visit the ground and begin work on the group aeguir- ed, which comprise 15 locations. These claims are located in an established mineral zone and adjOin the Yeager Canyon mine on the north.
 The Mineral Lands and Finance company is extensively identified with financing mining enterprises, and Messrs. Craumer and Ames. their representatives, stated before leaving Prescott that their firm had raised considerable sums of money for this industry, and capital enough was guaranteed by them to permit of deep mining for the new Yeager Can yon project.
 In speaking of the new project, Messrs. Ames and Craumer stated that it was certainly attractive, and from limited development enough was in existence to merit the investment decided upon. A tunnel 16O feet feet long runs into the vein, and various cuts and holes are scattered at various points, all giving excellent mineral rating. The claims of the company lie on a sehist belt that strikes south from Jerome and is cut by numerous iron dykes, forming a system of desirable prospects.
 The packers of this new mining project feel very enthusiastic over ae- quiring the ground and state that the possibilities of opening up another bonanza in the famous Black Hills | are of the brightest.

HEAVY LOSSES.
tFrom Tuesdays DaiIy|

c. B. Coulson, of the Verde valley, well known in this city as well, reached town yesterday. He says that the wagon road up the Cherry Creek hill is in a frightful eondi- tiOn, and at times he was compelled to fix the same before he could pass along. But a small load can be pull ed at this point, while at other places bad washOuts are also seen. He says the fruit crop on the Verde this year is the heaviest in its history, but that twO-thirds will be a total loss, there being no market, and the dis tance to this city is too far to trans port it over bad roads that lead out of the valley. The fruit loss, he says, will reach several thousands of dollars. He will return today to his ranch, and will be accompanied by Mrs. Coulson, who has been spending several days in the city.

Look out for Wiekenburg!
 The sturdy miners from the hustl- ing camp along the Santa Fe, Pres eott & Phoenix, are coming to the Queen City with a sturdy team of tug-Of-war men which they proudly announce will pull every other team across the line so speedily that the spectators will scarcely realize what is happening.
 And here is some dope kindly sent in by Billy Neagle, captain of the Wiekenburg team. Everybody in Pres colt knows Neagle, who was formerly one of our citizens, and while it will really be more or less painful to de- feat the pride of Wiekenburg led on by Neagle, nevertheless after seeing the Prescott tug-of-war team in ae- tiOn one can come to no other eonelu- sion than that Prescott will win.
 Of course it is admitted that Wick enburg has an anchor man who weighs 300 pounds and who is said to have but ten ounces of fat in his entire makeup. the rest being real muscle.
 However, a Taft-Iike anchor man is not going to scare the Prescott. strong men and they will go into the fray just as if they were pulling down a paper house and they expect to win the tug-of-war almost as easily

Delegate Ralph Cameron reached Ash Fork Saturday evening from Flagstaff on a brief business visit, and returned to his home few hours later. He was met by Secretary Geo. U. Young, and territorial matters were talked over. Mir. Cameron made the public announcement while at Ash Fork that he was confident that when congress convened on December 6 the statehood admission bill will have the right of way and there was no question whatever but what it would pass.
 He is enthusiastic over the admis- sion of Arizona being practically a settled one, and believes that ele- ments heretofore opposed to the meas ure will readily appreciate the con-

 "It was never planned to have a pirze fight here. All that we desire to give is a friendly exhibition in the ring. It had not been intended to charge admission and no purse was to be hung up. There is nothing about our proposed exhibition which in any way resembles a prize fight and l do not see why the United States attorney should be called upon to interfere and spoil one of our sporting events"

ANYONE AIDING BOXING
 WILL BE ARRESTED

Will Prescott see a boxing exhibi- tiOn as planned on Labor day!
 United States Attorney J. l.. B. Alexander, who was in Prescott yes terday, says not. He declares that the United States marshal's office will interfere and stop any proposed go whether it be a "prize fight or only a boxing exhibition"
 Chairman J. B. Kohl of the gen eral Labor day committee, says that he thinks the United States attorney is unduly severe. He states that the proposed boxing exhibition will be nothing more than Sullivan and Xiii rain gave in Phoenix in the home town of the United States attorney He adds that the proposed contest on Labor day is not to be for a purse and that no admission is to be charged.
 And this is the present status of the affair. If it is necessary to call off the contest in which Earl Chap pell of Phoenix, and Kid Kirby of Prescott, were to be the principals, it will occasion much regret among the lovers of the fistic art.
 It had been arranged to make this friendly boxing exhibition one of the attractions in the sport line during the celebration. There had been no thought on the part of the men whs arranged the exhibition to have any decision or to conduct the affair in any manner as a prize fight is. con ducted. They say that they merely wanted to give a friendly boxing ex- hibitiOn.
 United States Attorney Alexander said yesterday: eff the men arrang- ing the prize fight or boxing contest or whatever you may be pleased to call it, were familiar with the fed | eral statutes they would go slow. I don't suppose that they realize that all who aid or abet or take part in | any way in any prize fight or boxing contest for money or for a prize, either directly or indirectly, are guilty | of a felony.
 ''The law on this matter is very | plain and as the government attorney | in this territory, I shall surely see that the law is enforced to the let | ter. To a certainty if this thing is pulled off arrests will follow and I do not care how prominent the par ties interested may be, they will be arrested and prosecuted if they go ahead and violate the law.
 "I give this fair warning in ad- vance for myself and the United States marshal will not sit idly by and see the law openly violated"
 When informed of the statements made by the United States attorney, Chairman Kohl of the Labor day con- mittee, said:
 "I do not see why Alexander singled out Prescott. We are going to have nothing more than Sullivan and Kilrain gave-just simply a box ing exhibition. We have been inform ed by Prescott attorneys that in giv- ing a boxing exhibition we are vio- lating no statute.

First Use of Iron.

As a result Of his interesting investi-
cations, Dr. Ridgeway concludes that
the smelling Of iron originated in
central Europe. and especially in the
region known as Noricum, equivalent
to modern Austria and Bavaria.
In Egypt it can be traced back to the
ninth century B. c.. and in Libya to
about 40 B. G. First mention of it's
use in China goes back to 400 B. c.,
while in Uganda it is said to have
been in use only some five or six
centuries.
The above date for the first use Of
iron In Egypt refers to the metal OBJ
tanned by smelling. The use of ma
tive iron in the form Of meteorites
dates back to remote antiquity. The
weapons made from these were OBJ
tanned, like flint implements, by chip
ping. And it is interesting to remem-
Der that recent investigations have
shown that the iron of many meteor
ties is sort of natural steel.

It was III. Quintan, French physi-
ologist, Who several years ago wrote
a paper to show that the coloress
fluid in which the red corpuscles OF orr
blood float and which is called the
"blood serum is the same fluid as that
which constituted the primeval sea.
The earliest forms of life which float
ed in the primeval sea were such that

were constituted were always bathed
by this primeval fluid. When silica
became q constituent of the sea these
animals may have coated themselves
with silicious coverings. but many OF.
their cells were still bathed by the
fluid, and some of them as they passed
from the sea to the land may have
closed up their alimentary canals. so
that distinction arose between their
internal organs and their outer super
ficies, but still, for the good Of their
cells, they still bathed them in the
saline fluid. To do so more effectively
they took the saline fluid ashore with
them in the form of blood serum. and
