MINING ACTIVE IN
 THE RAY DISTRICT
From Wsdnesday.s Dailyl

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 19-A. s. Michaelson returned from short visit to Ray, Kelvin and Winkel- man, recently. He speaks in the highest terms of the prosperity, fu- ture and present, of the sections wis ited. Winkelman, he says, suffered from a very disastrous fire last Fri day, three buildings in the center of the town being destroyed. It was only by heroic efforts of the eiti- zens' water brigade that the entire camp was saved from destruction.
 The all-absorbing topic of interest in that section now is in the race meet to be held in Winkelman Aug ust 7th. A new track has just been completed, it being built by popular subscription, and will be formally opened by the meet on the 7th of next month. The race attracting the most attention is that between Dew ey, owned by Bill George, and Bess, owned by Jim Prewitt The distance to be 400 yards, and the purse $1,OOO. A great crowd is expected to be in attendance as each horse has a large following and are willing and anx- ious to back their favorite with good coin.
 Work on the Ray Consolidated re- duction plant at Hayden is progress ing rapidly. The townsite of Hayden is situated about three-quarters of mile from Winkelman. It is predict ed by those who know, that this camp will have a population of over 5000 within the next year.
 The first passenger train will run over the new railroad between Kel- win and Ray, Saturday. This is a decided improvement and will be a great convenience to people going between those towns as now the only mode of travel is by stage.
 Nicholson says that this entire section has an air of prosperity. Development work is going on in countless places, that the people are not waiting for cool weather, but are going ahead with a determination that will make the Kelvin, Ray and Winkelman country one of the most wealthy and populous mining sections in the new State of Arizona.

Beautiful Residence Is Struck by Lightning
 And Destroyed
Structure Valued At SS,OOO Partially
 Insured
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO,

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, July 22-Lightning struck the cupola of the big fourteen room residence of Rev. Alfred Quetu, Monday morn ing, at 6:30 o'clock, and started a blaze that quickly destroyed the building and most of its contents. None of the ten or dozen oceu- pants of the building were injured. The furniture of the first floor was saved, that of the second lost. The house, worth $S,OOO, was partly in- sured.
 The lightning came with the break ing of a storm that brought rain, but not enough to quench the flames.
 The place burned was known as the old Belford or the old McNally house. It was built in the "boom" " of the eighties by Andrew MeNally, the Chicago publisher, upon hill of the San Juan Hot Springs Can yon, a mile above the old Franciscan Mission. In the cupola telegraph station was established.
 About two years ago, Rev. Alfred Quetu, a naturalized citizen, native of France, for years a priest and pub fisher of the Roman Catholic church in Arizona, bought the property from the McNally estate. He added to his holdings and founded a colony of Frenehmen.
 Rev. Quetu occupied the big house on the hill as a residence. With him lived number of his country men.
 The sleepers in the house were awakened by the crash of thunder. Some of them rushed out. Soon the cry of "fre" was raised and the other occupants came quickly out. From the Mission village and up and down the valley dozens of peo- pie rushed to the fire, which, how ever, spread so fast that only the furniture on the first floor could be saved.

LABOR LEADERS START
 WARM CAMPAIGN

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 19. - The newly formed Labor party of Ari- zona is already at work. A cireu- lar issued by Ernest Leibel of Jer- ome, describing the work of the or ganization and the arrangements so far made to take part in the election of delegates to the Constitutional convention. It is the opinion of the acting secretary that if the party or ganization is properly supported it cannot lose.
 The circular has a funny ending. It singles out of the dissenting dele gates to the late conference in Phoe- nix, Wynkoop of Tucson and Ked- dington of Phoenix for denunciation and arraigns them as self-serving of labor. Though they were by no means alone in their op- position to the plan of organizing a party and the nomination of sep arate tickets of candidates for dele gates, no mention is made of other of that program.
 There will be a meeting of the trades council tonight, where the fight will be fought over again so far as this county is concerned. Though a majority of the delegates from Phoenix to the conference SUD- ported the so-called Soeialistic pro- gram, minority report, it is thought, will be offered repudiating the ae- quiescence of the Phoenix delegates in the organization of a separate party.
 It will likely be urged that it was not the understanding of the delegates from this county that such a thing was to be attempted, and that while it may help the cause of labor in the counties of GiIa, Co., chise and perhaps some others, in this county it can only result in the defeat of the purpose of the work ing classes to secure any sort of rec ognition in the Constitutional conven- ton.

GOLDEN IDOL IS PROMISING
 MINE Excellent Ore Showing In the 300 Foot
 Level Sinking and Drifting Being Vigorously
 Pushed
CFrom Saturdays Daily)


 J. H. Tribby, general manager of the Hillside Consolidated mines on Cherry Creek, in a statement made yesterday gives it as his opinion that recent development on that property is very satisfactory, and it is his belief from what has been ac- compished and the splendid ore bod ies being exploited at the deepest point in the main working shaft, the creation of one of the best mines in that district is assured. This con- dition is supported by what is in evidence on the 300 foot level, where a body of free milling ore three feet thick is being opened.
 The force of miners has been in creased lately and at present three points are being operated with two shifts. The purpose is to continue the main shaft to a depth of 800 feet, while the present plan of drift ing Will be continued.
 On the property is a three stamp Nissen mill. Later this plant will be utilized. The purpose, however, is to get to depth, and to make ex- tensive determinations in practical mine work. The Golden Idol claim is the. one point under operation, it forming one of four big systems the syndicate owns, embracing one of the largest mineral domains in the county.

RHoDEslAN MONSTER
Several Points Ahead of All
Other African Beasts

In his recent book, beasts and
Men," Herr Carl Hagenbeck mentions
reports made to him of al immense
and wholly unknown animal said to in
habit the interior of Rhodesia. He
quotes native stories of "a huge mon
ster, half elephant, half dragon, "dwell-
ing in the depths of the great swamps,
and suggests that it may be some kind
of dinosaur seemingly akin to the
Brontesaurus.
Scientists in South Africa received
the news coldly. The zoologist of the
Rhodesia Museum treated the reports
with derision, declaring that nothing
of the alleged dinosaur could be gath
cred from natives. This was on Nov.
% last.
Dec. IA the dinosaur reasserted him
self in the columns of the Bulawayo
Chronicle. A correspondent of that
paper declares that he has investigated
the matter himself and has met two

natives who affirm in the most positive
manner that they have actually seen
the dinosaur. Neither of these natives
knew the other and both were shown

wholly imaginary and others construct
ed from illustrations of prehistoric
reptiles.
Both natives Immediately picked the
same sketch as closely resembling the
monster they had seen. Each, how
ever, called the attention of the
sketcher to the omission in his picture
of what from their description would
appear to be something in the nature
of propulsory aippers.
The creature is supposed to inhabit
lake between the rivers Lungr and
Kafoe. Judging from the description
given by the two natives to the Bula-
wayo Chronicles correspondent, it
would seem to possess the head and
tail of crocodile, the horns of a
rhinoceros, the neck of python and
the body of hippopotamus, with, of
course, the addition of propulsory fir-
pers. Thus one specimen would in it.

DRAW POKER A
GAME OF SKILL

Utica, N. Y, Jan. 29.-As the
result of a ruling by City Magis-
trate O'Connor that poker is a
game of skill and not a game of
chance, the police have been sud.
denly checked in an effort to
close up so called gambling
houses in this city, and for an
other period at least the reform
wave will subside. Half dozen
persons, proprietors and cap
pers of alleged gambling resorts,
have been arrested in Utica dur
ing the past few days charged
with maintaining Establishments
where faro, roulette, klondike
and similar games might be
played by the unwary. In their
raids the police gathered in a
truckload of paraphernalia, and
all this was displayed in court as
evidence.
When placed on trial the pris-
oners insisted that the gambling
paraphernalla had not been used
in several years and that poker
was the only game played in
their houses. The witnesses on
whom the police relied to make
their cases failed at the psyche
logical moment and finally only
the charge of conducting poker
playing resorts remained against
the prisoners. On the ground
that the courts of California,
Montana and Texas have held
that poker is game of skill and
not a game of chance, Judge
O'Connor discharged the defend
ants.

QUALITY OF COAL
GETTING BETTER

Sufficient prospecting has now been
miles east of Tanana to demonstrate
both its wide extent and excellent
quality. No analysis of the coal has
yet been made, but it is believed it
will be classified as semi-anthracite.
At depth of 40 feet the coal is still
frozen, but contains a remarkably low
per cent. of moisture and exhibits no
tendency to disintegrate on being
thawed, dried or immersed in water.
Being only a mile from the Yukon
river ION the north side), it is hard to
estimate the importance of this coal
deposit to the town of Tanana and in
terror Alaska in general.
A good grade of coal is being mined
on the Yukon a short way east of the
international boundary line, but such
workings as were heretofore under
taken along the river in American
territory have been abandoned. The
most notable of the abandoned mines
are above Rampant and below Kaltag.
AT Fossil Bluff, forty miles below
| Tanana, a number of years ago coal
deposit caught fire and burnt for sew
eral months, but it has not been in
vestigated. With the coal-lands dis
pute once properly settled, with deposit
near Tanana as important as now seems
assured, prospecting for coal along the
Yukon will attract good deal Of
attention.

BUTCHERS PROFITS
BIC, TEST SHOWS

Chicago. Feb. 2. When the
venerable James Wilson, secre-
tary of agriculture, in his recent
annual report, made the state.
ment that the meat dealers of
Chicago - the retailers - were
making a gross profit of ~ per
cent on every carcass of beef
that they sold, laymen opened
their eyes in amazement. Prac-
tical tests made by master butch
ers at St. Louis show that the de-
partment of agriculture slightly
underestimate the gross profit,
according to John H. Schofeld,
secretary of the Master Butchers
of America. i. .-.. ~....-: .
In St. Louis recently a number
of 500 pound beeves were cut by
a master butcher, one of the ex-
perts in his line. Every cut was
carefully weighed; the percent,
age of the different cuts was
closely figured. Then the prices
at which the different cuts were
sold in Chicago were furnished
by former Alderman Duddleston,
himself a master butcher. The
computations show that there
was gross profit of exactly Az
per cent to the retailer. OF
course, profits are materially cut
down when expenses are figured
in, but the most liberal figures
show, says Mr.. Schofield, that
there is still a profit of Is to 20
per cent net left for the retailer
