LINEMAN KILLED

One man killed, four Others

more or less burned, is the result
of telephone wire coming in COR

by the Truckcc River General

engaged in erecting a telephone
line, from the new power line
being constructed through the
north end of the city, to the sub
station, and all five were pulling
up slack wire that had been strung
along on the poles carrying high
voltage wires into Virginia City.
In some manner, and at q point
yet to be determined, the telephone
wire which the men were handling
is said to have come in contact
with one of the high voltage alum
mum wires, and all FIVE were
thrown to the ground with great
force. Leonard who was first in
line received the full force Of the
electric current, it passing on
through the other four but with
less violence. The former was at
once seen to be in a critical con-
dition. and other men in the
vicinity and people in the neighbOr
hood hurried TO be of assistance,
and at once began the work of
trying to resuscitate the stricken

he fell to the ground and two
stitches were necessary TO close
the wound. The men were all
rendened unconscious for a few
moments. The accident was
witnessed by number of people

work.
The current of electricity after
passing through the wire held by
the men, jumped to some wires on

several portions of the city. Fuses

MINERS DEMAND

Strikers at Naica Object to

system.

Chihuahua, Mex, July 1o.-The strike
which has been effect!T> in the mining
camp of Neica since the revolution
lists drove the federal forces from that
district, has assumed larger proper
tions, the companies having decided TO
close down entirely for six months. At
the time the revolutionists entered the
camp considerable unrest was manifest
among the miners and they were en-
couraged to press their demands by
the presence OF the victorious army
and at one time 1t was necessary to
send other armed forces into the town
of Naica to preserve the peace
Finally some of the miners decided
to accept the terms offered by the
companies, but owing TO the continued
agitation of the leaders, and threats
OF violence If they continued to work,
these men were drawn back into the
body of strikers. In view Of this. the
companies have decided to close down
tight and await developments
An open letter has been addressed
to the governor by a COMMITTEE of
miners of the Santa Eulalia camp, ask
ing his assistance in lettering the ex-
listing conditions. They demand eight
hours work in place of ten, claiming
that the conditions under which they
work in this camp are such that theiI

CHINO COMPANY IS

Building Planned.

Hurley, \. NJ, July 10.-FavOrable
progress continues 70 be made in the
work of erecting the big concentrating
mill of the Chino Copper company at
this point. The plant warehouse has
just been completed and stocked; and
the machine shop, one of the most
thoroughly equipped of it's kind in the
southwest. is also practically COM
pleted and partially in operation.
Under the original plans the mill
was to be in three units OF 1000 tons
capacity each, but it has now been def
nitely decided TO add two additional
units. Immediately upon completion OF
the three units now under construc
ton. bringing the capacity up to 5000
tons AS a matter of fact, it is by no
means certain that the final capacity
of the mill will be limited to 5000 tons
and it is predicted that further in
creases will be made after the plant is
in operation.
Work will soon begin upon an office
building to contain the general offices
of the Chino Copper company and
when completed the office force now at
Santa Rita will be transferred to Hur-
ley.

Dodge mining properties in the Burro
mountains as well as to Elephant Butte
has created a great deal Of interest and
enthusiasm in this section The pro-

the opening up of a vast territory rich
in minerals of various kinds which is
not now available to transportation,
besides reaching the properties al
ready being operated. The people here
are fully alive to the great Importance
of the proposed road, and are anxious
to do whatever lies in their pow to
further the movement
Much credence is given the report
locally, for the reason that several
years ago the FL Paso Southwestern in
tercsts surveyed for q line from Dem
ing to the Burro mountains, but the
project was abandoned after the line
was partially graded.

the line, and that the present system
OF "raya," or stores be abolished, as
they are rot run IN the interest Of she
workmen, but for the benefit OF u

Money lenders in the camp are said
to charge as high as so percen- per
month for small loans made TO the
workmen. who say they are obliged 20
borrow because their earnings are
