U1sa rnurssay . DaRvs

Dan Fain was assaulted at Hum
 boldt, on Tuesday, and escaped destl
 solely through good fortune. Two
 Austrians were the offenders, and
 from what can be learned, no provo cation was given to justify the COW
 srdly deed.
 MT. Fain received a painful wound through being slashed across the back with a dirk. According to the physicians attending him, he will re. cover, but had a very close call.
 It is said that MT. Fain, with sew eral of his employees at Dewey, went Ito Humboldt to transact business, and while in a business house there with his companions, two intoxicated Austrians entered, and soon a dis pute followed, in which one of the intruders was knocked down by one of the cowboys of the party. MT. Fain was not a party to the trouble, but while passing to the rear of the room was assaulted by another Aus trian with a long and ugly-looking dirk.
 The wounded man fell to the floor and later was taken out of the build ing to a friends house. For several hours he remained in a state of par tial paralysis. He was brought to this city for medical treatment. Later he regained his normal condi- tion.
 Immediately after the attempted murder, Deputy Sheriff Fred Camp bell appeared upon the scene and ar rested two men, from the description given. He fired three shots at one of the fleeing men, and afterwards the man was identified by MT. Fain. The other was found at Humboldt later, and both are now in the eoun- ty jail in this city. They were taken to the room occupied by MT. Fain yesterday and identified
 Unless complications should arise, MT. Fain will soon recover from the wound in his back. The preliminary trial of the men will take place in a few days at Humboldt, before Jus tiee of the Peace Francis.
 c. H. Hooker, associated with Mir Fain in the live stock business, ar rived yesterday from his headquar- ters on Ash Creek, learning of his partners misfortune early in the day.

TO RESUME WORK
 ALONG ALL LINES


 During the present month all de- partments of the Clara Consolidated Smelling and Mining company will
 be started up, is the report that comes from that thrifty center, and with the beginning of this immense proposition on the lines outlined, the project enters the field as one of the established mining enterprises with out counterpart in northern Ari- zona.
 In less than two years the big plant has been erected and operated on several test runs, deep and e1tea- sive exploitation is seen at several places on their mines, a railroad g miles across the desert has been con strueted, and a city with over 1,o0o souls Is in evidence where formerly was barren waste. Climatic condi- tons do not interfere, and whether the sun is tOrHid or the winter vinds biting, the persistency of the com Pany to carry out their magnificent plans of mining and smelting have triumphed under all conditions.
 Attending the beginning of their operations, the statement is made that the syndicate will enter the field as custom proposition also and assist the miner of the county at whatever point he may be To- eated. Their facilities are extensive enough to handle any product, and the desirability of the general pro duet from this field will be appre- eisted. The immense eonverters of this plant are being set and in a few days will be utilized. This move will complete their reduction facili- ties.
 Another shaft is to be sunk on their mineral combination and will be of three compartments, which will give some idea of the magnitude of the proposition from a minig stand point, added to which are many shafts of lesser dimensions.
 George W. Pierce, who is in the city at the present time, is the of ieial ore buyer for the company, An- ing a similar position in the north ern part of the Union with other institutions. He is a recent arrival in the Territory, and speaks in the highest terms of the enterprise he IS identified with, saying that from ! mechanical standpoint and the pro yress made in construction, together with mine work, it is an astounding 
 MT. Pierce will visit every district n the county. He is agreeably i'm pressed with the future of this field md believes that when the mineral of the county are better appreciated the prominence of the industry will be established on lines hat will be an agreeable surprise to Ill.

GEORGE c. WEST IS
 CALLED BY REAPER
(From Fridays Daily.l

George c. West, auditor of the S. F., P. & P. railway, passed away at his home in this city yesterday af- ternoon after less than one week of Ia serious illness. His death oeeas- toned surprise and the announcement came as a shock to the community. While it was known that he had been suffering for the past few months with Bright $ disease. in view of his arrival from Phoenix last Sunday and his daily visits to his office previous to his leaving for the south, the af fliction was not considered alarm ing.
 He bore his sufferings with a fortitude that was eommendable, and to even his associates and intimate friends he never eon6ded his true condition.
 The deceased was one of the best known and most popular of railroad officials ever to reside in this city. He was a student of the calling, and beautiful trait of his long service with the public was shown in his genial and affable manners in his relationship with all. When but 16 he began railroading. In 1875, on the C., B. 6 o., he went to work as an operator, which he mastered, and was regarded as one of the skill ed men in that day, and ever after ward enjoyed this distinction in rail road circles everywhere in the West. In 1879 he was called to the B. & NJ, at Red Cloud, Neb.. and it was at this point that he met H. H. Storey, who today is the superintendent of the S. F., P. & P. The long link of friendship continued over thirty years.
 From Red Cloud he was called to the old Atlantic & Pacific at Gallup. where he was associated with W. A. Drake in 1883, who today is the vice president of the S. F., P. & P, and on which line he acted in the eapa- city of brakeman, conductor, operator and agent. From the main line above he was called for in 1894 to come to this city to be the agent of the com pany. In this position he became identified closely with the business element
 He was chosen about four years ago to the office of auditor of the system. and it is believed would have been further rewarded had he lived.
 MT. West was a thorough railroad man, a splendid operator and account ant. His range of duties covered every department, and his loss will be keenly felt in railway circles wherever he was known.
 He was born at Spring, Green county. Wisconsin, ffty-one years ago. He leaves a wife and two small children to mourn his loss, and a son an ddaughter grown, the former re- siding in this city, being with the S. F., P. & F.. and the latter living at Fl Paso, Texas. Two sisters also survive him.
 The date of his funeral will be announced later.

Big Discovery on Famous Old Producer In Mohave That Was Practically
 Idle Thirty Years.
BY P. J. FARLEY,
ssaa correspondent of the Jouru.i-Miner.

or ores on the old dumps, estimated
 at from l5,0o0 to 10000 tons, will
 be shipped to the Needles coneen ktrating plant. These dumps, by many
 tests, show values of SIS a ton and
 upward in gold and silver. Since
 the unwatering of the mine was
 finished, samples of the ores left in the old stopes show values of $20
 to, the ton. It is the intention to pull all these stopes in which there are 15,000 tons of ore broken, and ship the same. also.
 The main shaft is 265 feet deep, but no stoping has been done below the 150 foot level. The early oper- ators eontented themselves with re- moving only the very high grade ore, leaving all that would not yield profit after the payment of $1O0 a ton transportation expenses to San Francisco, or $50 a ton in local mill where only silver values were considered, and no attempt made to save the gold.
 Since acquiring the property, Gen eral Manager Porter has equipped it with a boiler of 15O horse power, a 90 horse power hoist and a 150 horse power compressor, of sufficient capacity to supply ten power drills. He has under construction a skip with a capacity of two tons, which he will install in the shaft as soon as finished. He has also installed or has under installation many ap- plianees and machines contributing to make the mine equipment most complete, and one of the best ap- pointed in the entire Territory.
 MT. Porter was general manager of the Gold Roads mine several years, resigning to devote his entire time to the development of the Keystone, which has already vindicated his judgment as a mining man, insuring him a still higher standing in mine operating circles of the country.
 An examination of surface condi- tions of the Keystone is almost as interesting as its deepest workings. The main vein is one of the strong est in the Cerbat range. It is GOV cred by four of the fourteen loea- tions owned by the company, dis tanee of over a mile. The main workings appear to be on the ex- treme southeasterly end of the ore shoot. Northwest from the working shaft a parallel vein joins the main one a short distance ahead of the point where the ore body widened out in the face of the 150 foot drift and which was uncovered a few days ago. Continuing northwest the ledge is interseeted and strengthened from the south by many smaller veins coming in obliquely and increasing the zone of surface naturalization to 60 feet in places, all of the crOpPings carrying values and some of very high grade. The country rock for nation is porphyry. The vein fill ing is quartz and porphyry.
 The property was located by Chas. E. Sherman in 1870. It was discov- cred by a solder from Fort MOhave during an Indian campaign. MT. Sherman, the original owner, is still resident of Mineral Park, and is employed at the mine.

Mr.. Bryan's Prestige.

In his address as temporary chair.
man of the Nebraska democratic con.
vention, Chairman c. J. Smith said:
ut may be necessary today for some
of US to refuse to follow the leadership
which for almost twenty years has
given luster to our party in the state
and nation. If it should let no man
say that it argues any abatement in
the esteem of him who embodies that
leadership. When this convention
shall have adjourned our differences,
am sure. will be forgotten, and we will
all fall into our accutomed places, the
leader in his and the subordinates in
theirs. to fight for our platform and
for our party"
The defeat of the county option plank
which Mr.. Bryan favored, is seized
upon with avidity by his enemies as a
defeat of Bryan. Bnt Bryan was a
candidate for no Office, SO that the de-
feat could not be of him, and was of a
policy urged by him and others.
MIR. Bryan has been beaten before in
framing of platforms. Possibly more
defeats in similar matters await him.
But the glory of Bryan and his great
value to the nation as moral leader,
is that the prospect Of defeat does not
seal him in the cask of silence or stay
his crusading tongue.
We may agree or disagree with Mr..
Bryan on the matter of county option.
But among thoae' descent and conscien-
tiou men opposed to his proposal there
is respect for him as one who is seek
ing in his way, which happens to be a
way different from that others would
follow, to elevate the American home
and better individual and community
life.-Telegraph- Herald.

Des Moines, Iowa, July 81, 1910. -
The average temperature for the past
seven days was very near the normal,
but the rainfall was decidedly below
the average for the last week in July,
although showers occurred on the 25th
and 29th in all but the northeastern
part of the state. At many stations
in the Des Moines, Iowa. and Skunk
valleys the amount of rainfall exceeded
an inch; the largest, being 3.97 inches
at Keosauqua. Corn on low ground
and deep soil, and whore the showers
were heavy, still holds its own and has
made satisfactory progress, but over
the northeastern counties where there
has been little or no rain and in many
other localities where the; soil is thin
and the rainfall has been light, there
are indications of firing. Three-fourths
of the crop, however, is in excellent
condition and can stand another week
of dry weather, but the other fourth
needs rain at once. Conditions have
been favorable for haying, harvesting
and threshing. Preliminary reports
from threshers indicate that the quality
of small grain is excellent and the
yield will be considerably above the
average Of past years. Except where
the rainfall has been the heaviest, pas
lures are practically bare and afford
but little feed for cattle. Stock water
is getting scarce in many localities A
heavy and general rain is needed badly
in all parts of the state. II

oBIIuARY.

George Drtina died at his home near
Cresco, Iowa, Thursday, July %, 1910,
aged 16 years II months and 27 days.
He was ailing for about month. The
best physicians in our town were
called in but his disease seemed To
bsffie the knowledge of them all. All
]. that the loving ones could do was to
fold their arms and look on. Georgie
was the flower of young manhood full
of life and ambition. Everybody that
knew him had learned to love him
well. None knew him but to love him;
none named him but to praise him.
Heart-broken father and mother were
with him during his illness; not once
did he utter complaint but tcld them
he wa ready to 60. There was deep
feeling Of grief in the hearts of all
present as they chanted the prayers
for the dying and beautiful soul Of
Georgie Drtina as the soul took its
flight, The beautiful white casket
was surrounded by wreaths Of flowers.
and We who looked upon the calm face
Of our friend could not doubt that the
Z heavenly father had taken him home.
After Requiem High Mass in st.
Mary's church in Cresco, he was laid
to rest in st. Joseph's Cemetery. The
respect in which the family is held was
manifested by large procession which
followed his remains to their last rest
ing place there being forty teams.
The many friends Of George Drtina
and family will extend sympathy
which is indeed heartfelt, and the
,pangs Of grief will be felt in many |
hearts outside of that home which less
than month ago was full Of mirth |
and laughter. He is survived by his
father, mother, two sisters and three
brothers, many relatives and host of !
friends.
And now when life Is almost DER
O. And deaths sad hour draws near,
Ono favor more of heaven comes
A pfiestly voice we hear.
And kneeling round the dying boy,
.S7s His parents bowed In woe;
Hts brother too was kneeiing there
Their GRIEF we'll never Know.
Then dry your tears my loved ones,
For wei meet beyond the grave,
In that land that knows no SORROW,
I'll be there to meet you all.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast.
We have Kissed thy lovely, brow,
A nd now IN our aching hearts
We know we have no George now.
