GIRL WITH REVOLVER
DRIVES OFF BURGLAR
Servant in South Orange Resi-
dence Shoots at Intruder

NEW YORK, July 10--Awakened by
a burglar in the house, Daisy Wade, a
servant in the home of John Thonp-
son at go Prospect street, South
Orange, put the man to flight by firing
two pistol shots at him late Saturday
night last When the excitement was
over she sent for the police, who COM
plimented her on her courage.
The Thompsons were away from
home at the time, and the servants
were asleep at II o'clock, when they
were aroused by footsteps on the stair
way leading from the first to the base
ment floor. Armed with a revolver,
two maids went to the kitchen;
. Daisy Wade shouted to the burglar
not to enter the kitchen or she would
shoot Then the man ran up the stair
way. Miss Wade ran after him and
ordered him to stop. When he did not
stop she. fired a shot after him. He
was unhurt and made his escape
through an open window.
AS the man went over the. fence. the
girl with the pistol ran into the yard
and fired a second shot. 1t had the
effect of causing the man to vanish IN
haste, and when the police arrived not

FINAL PAYMENT IS MADE
ON BILLY BOY PROPERTIES

PRESCOTT, Ariz., July 10.-Through
making the final payment yesterday,
Ed Black is now sole owner of the
Billy Boy group Of mining claims on
the Hassayampa near the Climax
mines.
In speaking of this transaction Mr..
Black says he feels enthusiastic over
what has been accomplished on the
property in the past few weeks of de-
velopment, reporting that new body
of ore was cut in the tunnel on the
footwall side, where new and rich
mineral condition was determined and
one not heretofore known.
On the showing made on the hang
ing wall side was the reason why the
property was taken over a few weeks
ago on a conditional option. The new
discovery now established Is two feet
through and the extent as yet. not
known. Previous to making this dis
covery the casing material was assayed
and the returns gave $S16 In gold and
silver Assays are being made of the
ore body and he believes that 1t will
run to high figure.
The Billy Boy group was formerly
owned by r. H. Row.

SEEKS ARREST OF HER
HUSBANDS NEW BRIDE

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July TO-
A warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Emma
Lowry, mother of Tax Collector Lowry,
was issued today at the request or
Mrs. Gideon Risley. This action fol-
lows the departure of Risley and Mrs.
Lowry on a wedding tour. Mrs. Ris-
ley declares that Risley and Mrs. Low
ny are in Philadelphia. She does not
believe the story that they have gone
to Alaska.
Counsel for Mrs. Risley say they
merely desire the return of Mrs. Ris-
ley, who is twenty years older than
Risley as a witness in the suit against
Risley for bigamy. Members of Mrs.
Lowry's family believe that Mrs. Ris-
ley has preferred a statutory charge
against her.
Lowry declares that neither he nor
his mother had any idea that Risley
had not secured divorce, as he
claimed. Mrs. Risley, who watched
the happy pair get into their honey
moon automobile and leave their home
on Georgia avenue, without knowing
that the smartly attired groom was
her own husband, declares she will use
every effort to have her husband
brought back and punished for big
amy
Risley, who is a wealthy contractor,
is said to have converted the most of
his property into cash and to have left
a portion in trust for his daughter.
The remainder he took with him.
Members of the Lowry family say
Risley was emphatic in his declara-
tions that the divorce had been grant
ed. Magistrate j. S. Jagmetty, who
performed the ceremony, says Risley
told him the same thing. The magis-
trate is indignant over the part he had
in the affair and offered to aid Mrs.
Risley find her husband.
Looking from her own home, Mrs.
Risley could see the guests arriving at
the Lowry on the night OF the we'd
ding. She knew that Mrs. Lowry was
to marry a Risley, but did not know
until after she had seen the bride
leave for her honeymoon trip that the
bridegroom was her own husband. 1t
is said that Risley had been paying
attention to the widow across the street
for several months. Mrs. Lowry is
immensely wealthy in her own name.

STRINGERS SHOW IN THE
JOHNSON COPPER SHAFT
Mining Throughout District En-
joys Period of Summer
Activity

JOHNSON, Ariz, July 10,-The john
son Copper company, under the man
agement Of j. T. Mitchell, has sunk its
Shaft to depth of 900 feet. The new
equipment, consisting of an engine, air
compressor and drills has greatly facil-
itated the rapid work. Good stringers
of ore have been struck at the bottom
of the shaft.
Work is being rushed on the shatt
of the Black Prince, which Is now
down 500 feet. The intention is to con-
tinue to 1000 feet depth. While sew
eral good showings of ore have been
made during the progress of sinking,
no drifting has been done, and none
will be made.
Development work on the shaft of the
keystone Copper company is being
pushed night and day, and at 11O-foot
depth has encountered what appears to
be the beginning Of a large body OF
sulphide ore A carload of high grade
copper ore has been shipped by the
company to the Eel Paso smelter
In the hills below Johnson, where the
Cleveland and Arizona operators dis
covered high grade galena and in which
Ben X. Williams made his big strike,
are some good prospects owned by VII
liam Maejler and John Lemons of high
grade lead-silver ore. Near them A. H.
Vein has good prospects and the suv-
rounding country is highly mineralized.
The Cochise Gold Mining and Milling
company, in the Steel hills near CO.
chise, is steadily pushing development
work and showing large bodies of mill
ing gold ore.

Successful installation of Texas
Strainer Causes Steady Flow

TAFT, July 10-The Mays we'll is
again on production and since the
first of the week has been flowing
steadily $500 to 1000 barrels day. The
work of installing the Texas strainer

of twenty-four gravity, attracting the
attention of oil men in every field IN

NATURAL FOREST CROWS
WITHIN LIMITS OF CITY
Commissioners Permit Big Tract
in Bronx Park to Be-
come Wilderness

NEW YORK, July 10.-That part of
Bronx park lying between the Bronx
river, where Lovers Lane skirts the
picturesque waters edge, and the ham
let of Van Ness and the White Plains
road bids fair to become in a few years
the widest part of Greater New York.
It is a three-cornered piece of forest
and meadow perhaps a mile long and
half a mile wide in its widest place.
1t is a tangle of trees, jungle and
swamp, containing the famous Black
Water pool
Some years ago the park department
decided that the picking of wild flow
ers by children would very soon elm
mate some of the choicest of the native
plants In order to protect the shrubs
and trees lofty wire mesh fence, with
permanent cement posts eight feet
high was built around it. There were
only one or two entrances, and these
were on the hidden west side of the
strip, where the people of Van Ness
and the Bronx could not easily get into
the woods. The result was great deal
of indignation on the part Of the peo-
pie living on White Plains road and
the east side Then other fences were
built, cutting the section into still
smaller portions.
II the park department wished to
protect the forests from the depreda-
tions of visitors they succeeded, for
the strip is growing into the most
tangled and forbidding section to be
found in any of the city parks. The
bushes are growing up into dense
thickets where those few people who
can get In often lose their way and
wander around, puzzled by the many
cross fences and becoming, for time,
hopelessly lost. A tangle of cherry
trees, gnarled old apple trees, wild
roses. with now and then a cultivated
rose from the old estates that made up
the section running wild, blackberry
bushes and raspberries, blueberries and
every other thing that grows wild in
this neighborhood are to be found.
There are trails running through the
underbrush where adventuFesome
children go in the fall for chestnuts,
and botanists find their hearts delight

Mink and muskrats splash in the
water along the Bronx river, sometimes
escaping pursuit by penetrating the
deeper forests and swampy land where

FIND ANCIENT SPANISH
HAMMER IN OLD MINE
Lime Used to Break Up Forma-
ton in Early Days

CITY OF MEXICO, July 10.-When
the Otate mine in Sonora was recent
ly drained there was found, says
the Oasis of Nogales, in the old
workings an antique hammer of pc
culiar model left there more than a
hundred years ago by the early Span
iards who worked the mine and are
reputed to have extracted much gold:
The hammer, which had been rusted
greatly by a century's action, is near
ly twice as large as an ordinary sledge
hammer which weighs about eight
pounds. The one found in the mine
weighs about fourteen pounds. The
striking head is flattened, as in an
ordinary sledge, but the other end is
drawn to chisel edge, blunted
greatly now by corrosion. The tool
has a short wooden handle, no longer
than that in an ordinary single handed
drilling hammer. When found the
handle was covered with an earthly
deposit which dried and fell away,
leaving free the wood, which Is re-
markably we'll preserved.
The object of the chisel on one end
of the head of the hammer has been
the cause of much conjecture by those
who have seen 1t. The Oasis hazards
a guess that 1t was to start the great
drill holes the antique miners made to
break up the ground. They sunk to
great depth holes about four inches
in diameter Those holes they filled
with lime, plugged and poured in wa
ter. The swelling lime broke up the
ground. Such an implement as was
found at Otate would be needed to
start the hole and sink it afew inches,
then a lareR hand churn drill would be
used to sink to the depth needed.

SECURES MINERAL RIGHTS
TO SANTA PAULA ACREAGE

SANTA PAULA. July 10.-W. P.
O'Meara has secured the mineral
rights to the $4,000 acres comprising

The ranch lies along the Santa Clara

PRESIDENT DIAZ CORRECTS FAULTY
CLAUSES IN MEXICAN MINING LAW

The decision has been issued for
publication and Is being communicated
to the governors and Jefe politieos OF
the frontier states and territories.
The new ruling refers to the pro-
visions of the mining law of Mexico
which provides in article 1876 that title
to mining property may not be granted
to foreigners who denounce pertenan-
cias within a zone of eighty kilometers
along the boundary line with foreign
countries, If prospectors have not pre-
yiously obtained a special permit from
the executive of the union.
The petitions for the permits should
be directed to the department of TO-
mento, directly or through the mining
agent, on presenting the announcement
or within the sixty days following its
admission.
