WORK RESUMED ON
 HAYNES COPPER
(From Fridays Daily.)

(FrOm Fridays Daily.)
 Adviees received from Jerome yes terday state that the Haynes Copper company is again actively prosecuting development in a drift, where the sulphides and oxides were cut into few weeks ago. Considerable ln- terest is following the exploitation, from the splendid conditions in evi- denee when the water flow was So heavy as to necessitate the temper ary abandonment of work at that point.
 The resuming of development is sequel to the installing a few days ago of a new electric pump on the 700 foot level to handle the immense water flow encountered when the new ground was reached, which per mits of continuous operation. The new pump was started Wednesday, and is handling the water in the lower levels very satisfactorily. The repairing of the main station ana stump, that was damaged during the making of the necessary repairs, is about finished. The mine work is under contract to MT. Wilson, who has a force of fourteen men employ ed, and as fast as development pro gresses the number will be increased to permit of the most energetic meth cd in pushing the work.
 The resuming of the Haynes on the new and practical lines has ere ated very much interest, the recent striking of sulphides at the point an- nouneed being regarded as significant of what will be determined later. General Manager Campbell, who is in the city, will return to his camp to- day, and feels very much pleased over the placing of the pumping plant in position, and the resuming of work at the point where the best showing yet made on the mine is in svi- denee.

Usually the receiver at the com.

with bang at this juncture.
Electricians assert, however, that
there is more truth than banter in the

ephone difficulties.
Squirrels have a habit OF sharpen
ing their teeth said the trouble clerk,
in explanation. "a telephone cable,
with it's covering of soft lead, makes
good sharpener. They will climb a
pole and gnaw at the lead Some
times they will open hole through
the outer covering. Then the damage
is done.
eff drop of water gets to the
twisted strands inside the cable, every
phone the cable feeds is put out Of or
der. The water acts as a conductor
and short circuits every wire in the
cable In some cables there are 800
wires, so you can realize what havoc
one squirrel can wreak.
after the hole is found, all of the
lead must be cut away and the twisted
wires must be boiled in parafin to
get out the moisture. Not until this is
done are the phones in working order
again."

Annie Louise Cary Had Borrowed
$4,000 to Pay for Her Musical
Education and Couldn't Afford

which was the vocation her friends
had planned for her.
Encouraged, if not inspired, by this
praise from one who was growing
daily in public power in Maine, Miss
Cary decided to cultivate her voice.
She studied in Portland, then in Bos-
ton, and finally there came the inev-
liable day when she babe good-by and
sailed away to contine the study of
music abroad
For two years she applied herself
in Milan, under the direction of the
celebrated instructor, Giovanni Corsi,
at the end of that period, receiving
her first opportunity to test her voice
before the critical public-she was
cast for the contralto part in the CON-

time Verdi's "The Masked Ball.

DEAD AND INJURED
BATTLE? NOPE; JUST FINAL RE.
TURNS FOR JULY 4, 1910.
Takes Some Time to Get in All the
Figures, but They Show What
Doggone Fools We
Can Be,

New York. - Although the list OF
deaths and accidents due to the cele-
bration of the Fourth of July is still
large, the sane" observance of the
day this year shows a notable improve
ment in This respect, according to sta
tistics compiled by the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
The decrease in accidents Is most
marked in those sections where re-
strictive legislation has been put in eff
feet, the Journal says.
Two thousand, nine hundred and
twenty-three persons were injured
July this year, of whom 131 died.
says the Journal.
"Sixty-seven deaths were due to te-
tanus, 10 were killed outright by fire.
arms, IL by explosions of powder,
bombs or torpedoes; by cannon or
similar contrivances. while &c. mostly
little girls, were burned to death by
fire from fireworks.
Startling as this showing is, it is
the best since 1903, when the Journal
began keeping it's record. In 1903
4,449 persons were injured, of whom
1853 lost their lives, 400 of them dying
from tetanus.
The grand total for eight years
shows that 1885 persons have been
injured in independence day celebra-
lions. Of these, 1862 died, GOA as the
direct result of their injuries and 96S
from tetanus following injuries. One
hundred and twenty-five persons have
lost their eyesight, SOL have lost the
use of one eye, 432 have lost the use
OF arms, legs Or hands and 1,541 have
been crippled by the loss of fingers.
THE detailed figures for 1910 show
" cases Of lockjaw, 81 Of which were
fatal, persons lost their sight, 80
lost one eye, 26 lost arms, legs or
hands and ia lost their fingers.
THE decrease from 1903 to 1910 Is
due to more intelligent methods of
celebration, the most marked decreases
occurring in states where the agita-
ton for restrictive measures was most
urgent. Massachusetts had this year
had only one-seventh the injuries Ii
had the previous year; Missouri, New
Jersey and New York reduced their in
juries to one-third; Illinois and Ohio
to one-half; Pennsylvania reduced its
injuries to two-thirds of last years;
Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin show
larger totals than a year ago."

BOY or 8 WORST IN STATE
Tied Dog to Post and Drove Nails
Into Flesh-Strangled Chickens
for Amusement.

Hackensack, n. J-Ernest Diers is
said to be the worst boy that ever
lived in New Jersey. He is only eight
years DID, His father is Ernest Max
Hermann Diers of Fairview. The boy
is now at the Bergen County Chill
dren's Home in this city, pending his
removal to the reform school.
"This Diers boy is the worst 1 ever
heard off, said Justice Phillips. TN
the first place, Ernest is moral de-
generate, and for boy of his tender
age some of his immoral acts are
really astounding. He is incorrigible
and defies his parents. He is brutal
beyond all comprehension. He slow
ly strangled two chickens, and his
face beamed with fiendish delight as
he watched the chickens struggle. He
threw their bodies over fence.
Ernest next tied a dog to a post
and after fastening the legs proceeded
to drive a nail into the dogs body.
The yells of the dog only increased
the power behind the blows, and not
until the flesh was penetrated and
blood came did the child stop his
work.
1.-TWO days ago the lad slashed his
brothers head with scythe because
he had more apples than Ernest did.
This boy will have to be carefully
watched"
Deputy Supt w. H. Bratt of the
children's home locked Ernest up for
the safety of the other inmates.

Grant Ingenious on Farm,

Often l saw the captain at work in
the fields, both early and late, and
in this way / came to learn that he
was a perfect master Of horses. re-
member that upon one occasion l saw
him trudging behind pair OF horses
as he plowed a field which, / have
been told, his father-in-law had given
him for clearing it.
Some days after 1 had thus beheld
Captain Grant earning his bread liter
ally by the sweat of his brow, | hap
pened to be passing his way again,
when, while still some piece off, saw
something that made me stop and look
in sort of wonder.
Plainly enough, Grant was harrow.
ing the field with the same horses he
had plowed it with a few days before.
He also was riding one Of the horses,
but why was ne swinging an arm in
such energetic fashion? At first /
thought he might be doing it to guide
the horses, but they kept on in a
straight line through the field, and l
knew that my guess was wrong. Per
haps he is using the lash on them, l
said to myself, but moment later
made out that he had no whip in his
hand.
by and by, as I stood watching the
unusual sight, the captain turned his
team at a corner of the field, and then,
for the first time, saw what he was
up to. Upon the back of the horse
which he was not riding he had fas-
tened a large sack containing seed
wheat, think it was, at this late date,
though 1t may have been oats. Any
way, with one eye upon the harrow, to
see that 1t was working properly, and
with the other upon his horses, the
captain, with a sort of methodical
rhythm. was thrusting hand into the
sack of grain, Withdrawing IT filled
with seed, and scattering the contents
over the field with that energetic
swing of his arm that had attracted
my attention. He had hit upon sim
pie plan of doing two days work in
onel
For a while after making this dis
L
neared me l heard him talking to his
horses as though they were intelligent
beings, and they seemed to obey him
almost instinctively And so. with a
perfect understanding, as it were, es.
tablished between him and them, the
captain both narrowed and sowed at
the same time, and, l presume, in the
course of the day had the field COM
pletely narrowed and sown. Later in
the year, saw it as a fourishing
field of grain; and afterwards, when
I heard of Grants strategy at Vicks-
burg, which revealed to the country
the mans ingenuity and strategy at
their best, there came to my mind
a vivid picture of soldier-farmer,
astride of horse, narrowing field,
and at the same time, through the ex-
ercise of little ingenuity, sowing that
field with grain carried in sack upon
the back of the other horse hitched to
the harrow"
