DEATH OF MULE STARTS
RUN ON KENTUCKY BANK

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 1.-THE
death of a mule was responsible for
a run on a South Louisville bank yes
terday. A depositor on Monday puc-
chased the animal, giving in payment
a check for SIS.
That night the animal died. Suspect
ing that he had been "stung" the pur-
chaser stopped payment. The payee
presented the check just before the
bank closed and payment was refused.
He left, spreading the report that the
bank had ceased payment.
More than 100 depoistors were in
line seeking to withdraw their savings
when, the bank opened yesterday. By
noon the real cause of the run had
been learned and it was stopped.

LOOKS LIKE C0PPERQUEEN
WILL OPERATE COURTLAND
Prominent Mining Men Hold Con-
ference on Matter of Reviv-
ing Arizona Camp

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. lis the
Copper Queen again to enter active op-
erations in the Courtland copper dis
trict? This is the question that arises
from certain movements that have ia
ken place during the past few days.
DR.. Ricketts, came over from Cananea
Wednesday and was joined in Doug
las by James Douglas and Superinten-
dent H. S. Lee, who left in an auto
for Bisbee, after holding a conference
here.
1t was expected that DR.. Ricketts,
would return from Bisbee to Cananea,
but in Bisbee a conference was held,
General Manager Walter Douglas of
the Copper Queen, DR.. Ricketts,, Gen.
John Greenway of the Calumet and
Arizona, General Manager w. j.
Young of the Great Western Copper
company of Courtland and others par
ticipating. From Bisbee it is reported
that after their conference, which in
cluded all the big interests identified in
the Courtland camp, certain officials in
the consultation went to Courtland.
Just what their mission was cannot
be stated, but by many is taken to
infer that the Cop er Queen and other
interests in the once beeming camp
may have decided upon some plan of
cooperation for active development in
addition to that now in progress.
1t will be remembered that a little
more than a year ago Courtland was a
boom camp. The Calumet and Arizona
Mining company was sinking on the
Germania shaft in the Germania ba-
sin, in what is otherwise known as the
IeadVille canyon. Work was also
progressing at the April Fool, where
fine ore was struck, at the Miami
shaft and other claims.
PREPARED TO SHIP
The Great Western was preparing to
ship from the Mary and putting down
the Mamie, at the head of the Great
Western townsite of patented ground.
The Copper Queen was developing in
the Casey shaft, adjoining the old
Leadville mine owned by w. C. Holmes
and associates, at the Silverton shaft
east of the Mary in the Germania ba-
sin, and also on the Brown claims.
Suddenly the Copper Queen aban-
doned all work at time when the joint
power house of the Great Western and
Copper Queen was building at the
Mamie shaft.
This move shattered confidence in the
camp and values fell. The Calumet and
Arizona continues to ship from the
Germania and the Great Western from
the Mary and Mamie. The LeadVille is
not operating. The Ell Paso and South
western had built the Courtland branch
from Douglas, with spurs to the Casey
shaft and the townsite and the Hum
boldt and Mamie shafts of the Great
Western, as we'll as to the April Fool
and Germania of the Calumet and Ar
izona. the Southern Pacific had ex-
tended its lines from Pearce to Court
land and Gleeson, and everybody
thought the camp was due to become
a world beater. This wonder is again
riveted in the hope that the Copper
Queen may again renew development
work upon it's claims therein, already
including several thousand feet Of
shafts and drifts.

MINERS IN MIDDLE WEST
GAIN TITLE TO HOMES
immigration Commission Finds
Conditions Are Pleasing

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Bitumin-
Gus coal miners of the middle west live
under better conditions than do the
men engaged in the same industry in
Pennsylvania, and the fact is attributed
to the fact of organized labor, accord
ing to the national immigration COM
mission, in a report made public today.
The conclusions of the commissioners
are based on $4,000 specific cases in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
The observations of the agent of the
commission lead to the conclusion that
about half of the miners own their
homes. The eight-hour system prevails.
The average wage earning capacity is
S2.49 per diem, which is AZ cents more
than is paid in Pennsylvania.

DOSING quotations:
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-06-03

is therefore information to such,
these words-'there shall be desig-
mated thereon the number of judges
each elector is entitled to vote for"
He is advised that there are three
places to be filled, or should be, for
there are three JUDGES to be elect
ed. But this being primary cleo
ton, and there being many candi-
dates, and it being apparent that
every elector will not vote for the
same persons, it is provided that dou-
BILE the number of those to be elected
the six having the highest number
iof votes at the primary-shall, be
placed on the ballot in November, and
then the voter again has the oppor-
tunity to vote for three, and it is pos
sible that one or more OF those for
whom he. voted in June, If he voted
for three, would not be on the bal
|lot-would have fallen behind at the
primary; but in any event the elector
has the opportunity, or should, to
vote at each election for the persons
whom he would like to see elected to
the bench-to fill the three places.
The Tribune cannot believe it the in
tent that each elector shall be obliged
to assist in placing on the ballot in
the fall the names of persons whom
he does not want on the bench and
yet who because of these instructions
may win out in November. 1t is appa-
rant that there are bound to be more
than six different candidates voted
for in June anyhow, whether the elec-
tor votes for three or six, and there
will, of course, be six-those six re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
in June-on the ballot in November.
The wedding out ought to begin in
June, and the way to get the best re-
suits, it seems to the Tribune, is to
vote for three, ana this is the con-
struction placed On the act, even
though it is ambiguous and not alto
gether clear.
What say the laymen and attor-
neys?

GRAND

Again the management of the Grand
makes good and presents their large
audience with another one of those
great shows for which it is noted.
Clause and Radcliff. comedy sing
ers and eccentric dancers, are
great hit and weres forced to respond
to seven enchores on one of their
numbers last night. Their act is out
of the ordinary and they keep their
audience in an uproar during their en-
tire act. Their comedy and dancing
are not only clever but entirely orig
inal. Their singing Of parodies.
which are written by Mr.. Radcliff
himself are an especial hit.
Azalae Fountaine, the versatile lady
who does singing, dancing and con-
tortion, has a very neat act. She has
a sweet voice which she handles very
artistically; her dancing is clever,
and her contortion is of the refined
style that pleases all classes.
Miss Fountaine is one of the few
contortionists who do not appear in
tights, and her clever work in this
line stamps as prevaricator the per-
former who claims that contortion-
ist cannot do good work only with
the freedom gained by wearing the
abbreviated costume.
Miss Gradi has an exceptionally
pretty song which she renders in her
usual good style.
The picture program is an excel
lent one, consisting of two very strong
subjects, that hold the attention and
interest of the audience throughout
the entire reels.
All in all, the show is one that mer-
it's continuance of the liberal pat
ronage and applause it received last
night

THE MAGNIFICENT POSSIBILITIES
oF THE MISSOURI SLOPE

Twelve thousand people looking for
new homes and farms in the north
west passed through the Union sta
,ion at St. Paul the other day. More
than ninety per cent of the entire
number passed through North Da-
1xota on their way to remote parts or
the country to make their selections.
There is something wrong about
condition of affairs which made the
latter fact possible. And the trouble
is with the people Of North Dakota.
Every last man of the twelve thou
sand could be furnished with farm
here in this state without at all crowd
inc the present population, and 1t is
not to be doubted that every land
seeker of the lot would have been
more content to settle here than to
go further on if he had been advised
of the situation.
Some of those people went a thou
sand miles to the north of Bismarck
to live under an alien flag, in an un-
developed country, tremendous dis
lance removed from the centers OF
civilization. And they will get no
better land, probably not as good, I'M
der climatic conditions similar to
those that obtained in North Dakota
before the country was broken up,
and they will pay as high prices for
the privilege of enduring the hard
ships of pioneer life as they would
pay here in the midst of settled
community, with schools, churches,
railroads, highways and all the ad-
vantages incident to life in coun-
try which has been already brought
to the uses of man.
This condition constitutes an in
dictment of the intelligence and en-
terprise Of the people of North Da-
kota. Had the proper steps been TAX
en- to advise these immigrants, they
would not have journeyed long dis
tances to engage in experimental pio-
neering in remote regions. 1t is in
conceivable that if the travellers had
been advised of the actual conditions
on the Missouri Slope, in North d.
kota, they would have gone farther
to seek for homes and farms.
1t has been proved by demonstra-
