Leipzig's Fast Growth.

During the last fifty years Leipzig has
been growing faster than most American

showed an increase Of more than 100 per
cent. and a totai Of 155,3sS; in 1891, 2o7,-

Leipzig is the third city in Germany in

Berlin and Hamburg.
Its university is second in importance
only to that of Berlin. For opera and
musical instruction Leipzig is second only
to Dresden.
It Is the seat Of the supreme court of
the German empire. A model court build
ing was erected only a few years ago.
Leipzig stands first in the book trade
and the publishing business of all the
cities in the world, and Is a close rival
Of London In the fur trade.
More furs are dressed in Leipzig than
In London or any other city. An average
Of $500 dealers from every corner Of the
globe meet there once year to buy and

More music books and sheet music are
published in Leipzig than in any other
Autographs and similar printed pictures.

ARIZONA AND EASTERN
READY To LAY RAILS
WinkeIman Will Soon Be Connect
ed with Christmas Camp.
Big Tunnel Finished

Work on the construction of the Ari-
zona & Eastern has been brought to
the state where all that is now re-
quired to connect Winkelman with
Christmas camp at Copper canyon is
the laying of the rails, according to
Chief Engineer L. H. Long of the
Southern Pacific.
I'VE have graded the entire nine
miles from Winkelman and are now
ready to lay the rails said Mr.. Long
yesterday. And, too, we have just
completed one of the most important
tunnels to be found along any of the
lines of this section. l refer to the
tunnel near Copper canyon, which was
cut through solid granite for a distance
of about 1000 feet. We expect to rush
the work of laying the rails and to
have trains running to Christmas before
very long.
when the time comes that we are
enabled to push the Buckeye road on
through to Yuma it will mean a great
development for Phoenix and would
practically put that city on the main
line. 1t may be a little premature to
thus figure on the future of the lines
running through this particular sec-
ton, but l feel sure it is coming, and
at no distant date"

COPPER QUEEN TO SUPPLY
Ell TIGRE WITH ELECTRICITY
Contract Let for Immediate In
staIIatiOn of Line to Camp

DOUGLAS, Ariz.. Aug. 23.-By the
contract drawn up between the Copper
Queen and Ell Tigre mining companies
work is to be started Immediately on
the installation Of an electric cable by
which the Copper Queen power house
will supply FL Tigre mine, fifty miles
south of Douglas, with power with
which to light the interior of the works
and to run the new mill.
Although plans for such a line have
been under discussion for consider
able length of time it was only within
the last few days that a definite con-
clusion was reached in the matter.
Concessions have been obtained from
the Mexican government granting the
Fight of way for the poles and Wire and
two surveys for possible routes have
already been made. T. Swift, the civil
engineer, who had the running of the
two surveys in charge, stated yester-
day that it had not yet been definitely
decided as to which route would be
chosen. BY running the line southeast
from Douglas, by way of Colonia
Morales, a considerable saving in dis
tance would be made but on the other
road from Douglas as far as Izabel the
transportation of material and supplies
would be greatly Facilitated.
Harry HartWeu, representing the
New York firm Of SandersOn &y Porter,
electrical engineers, who have taken
the contract for erecting the line, who
has been in Douglas for several days,
left yesterday for FL Tigre mine.

SANTA FE EXPOSES ABOUT
SIXTY FEET OF RICH ORE

PARADISE, Aug. ga full face of
ore for about sixty feet is the excellent
showing in the tunnel on the Santa Fe
claim, Capt. John A. Duncans proper
ty. An average cannot be given here,
as no sample of the kind has been TAX
en- and as the ore is of more than one
grade, the richer appearing in lunches
However, it may be said that assays
are from So to $8 in gold, and from IA
to / per cent lead. one sample as
sayed $40.
The tunnel is in about eighty feet.
On attaining this length the hanging
wall was struck, and drifting is being
accomplished east and west along the
wall. The direction of the tunnel is
south, and it was driven to tap an ore
vein that had been exposed i'm an open
cut. owing to the fact that the vein
pitches at quite an angle southwark, it
was necessary to drive beyond q point
vertically under the open cut in order
to catch up with the same vein that is
shown above. The vertical depth al
tanned is probably ifty-fye or sixty
feet.
The formation up to the hanging wall
is diorite, which carries plenty Of iron.

PIONEER IN USE OF
NATURAL GAS AS FUEL

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 23.-Though
the Texas. Arkansas & Louisiana rail
road is only seven miles in length and
does not figure on Wall street, it is the
pioneer in the use of natural gas as
fuel for locomotives. The one engine
of the system, after burning coal ana
oil, is now using natural gas to get up
steam, and it is claimed that the last
is the best of them all. There are
neither cinders, smoke or smell incident
to its combustion and steam keeps up
with a regularity that would be the
delight of any engineer. Moreover a
saving Of % per. cent is effected by the
use Of gas. To the regular tender, now
useless except as a carrier of water,
standard gas tank is attached
No pressure is used to fill it, and
after the round trip of fourteen miles
there is still more carbon left. The
credit of the innovation belongs to ]. S.
Connolly of Carthage, Mo. Whether
natural gas can be used to advantage
by locomotives making long runs has
not been determined as yet.

C0R0NER'S JURY HOLDS
PIRATE AS ACCESSORY
Wise Taken Into Custody by Unit
ed States Marshal

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2S.-Murder
on the high seas was the charge
brought late today against French
West and George washington Wise by
the coroner's jury which conducted the
inquest over the body of Captain E.
V. Wood.
Wood was shot to death by the
leader of the two pirates when they
attempted to beach the steamship
Buckman on the oregon coast last
Saturday night.
The verdict names West the muir
derer and Wise as the accessory, but
the penalty is death in both cases.
When Wise heard the words of the
foreman of the jury he collapsed and
was led, weeping, from the room by
United States Marshal Elliott, who
had gone to the inquest armed with a
warrant for Wise's arrest. Wise was
taken to the Alameda county Jail,
where he will remain until his pre-
liminary hearing.

LAKE VIEW NO. z ISSUES
FAVORABLE FIELD REPORT
Superintendent Says Rotary Will
Enter ShaIe Formation
Within Few Days

In a stockholders letter issued by the
Lake View No. Oil company yester-
day is noted the great progress made
recently in the Midway Maricopa ter
ritory.
The letter in part follows:
There have been great changes in
the Midway Maricopa oil fields, where
we are operating. These changes should
be particularly interesting to you as a
stockholder in this company, as it
places us almost in the center of the
gusher district
"All the wells that are marked dn
the map inclosed) with derricks are in
the gusher class and are doing 10000
barrels a day or better. Those in red
ink are those that have come in since
we began drilling. The Midway Con-
solidated Oil company, one mile south
of our well, has a reported capacity of
80 900 barrels a day. All of the wells
in this district have been capped and
are now under control. AS the new
development places us almost in the
center of the gusher field. you can see
that you have invested in a company
that has almost an absolute assurance
of big well.
I'VE began drilling with a standard
rig, and at a depth of 260 feet chnged
to the rotary, which is now in opera
"a, a mile to the north and east of us,
went down 1000 feet with a rotary in
seventy days, you can gain some idea
of the saving in time that we will make
over the wells that are using the stand
ard rig exclusively. At present we are
drilling in the so-called washed in
formation which consists largely of
conglomerate, rock, clay and a large
number of boulders, so our progress IS
necessarily slow. We will be in this
formation for the next fifty feet, but as
soon as this is passed and we enter the
shale our progress will be much more
rapid. At the present time we are
down 379 feet.
Superintendent Charles F. off, in a
report 30 the company, dated August
23 says
within the next ten days we expect
to enter the shale formation, and with
good luck should be in the tar sand
within sixty days from that time. AT
the tar sand we will change to the
standard rig, and should be in the oil
within four weeks from that time
