SENATOR CLARK IS
 ON VISIT TO SHELTERS
CFrom Thursdays Daily.)

Senator Clark of Jerome, has been making a trip of inspection in Mon tana studying the conditions among the big smelters there trying to get all the information possible that may be of assistance to the United Verde in building their new shelter on the Verde At Anaconda they were well received and a Butte paper has the following to say of their visit:
 Senator w. A. Clark and W. A. Clark, Jr, accompanied by Thomas Taylor, superintendent of the smelt- ing department, and T. Peacock, head of the mechanical department of the United Verde Copper company's plant at Jerome, visited the Anaeonda smelter and were shown through ev- cry part of the plant by Manager E.. P. MathewsOn and Assistant Mana ger William Wrath.
 The senator expressed himself as most pleased with the courtesy shown him and his companions by the off eials of the company and said that there is no question that the Anaeon- da shelter is the greatest metallurgi- cal plant in the world. He was par ticularly struck with the blast fur naces of which two are B feet and one s5 feet in length. The latter is probably the largest furnace of the kind in the world.
 In the Anaconda plant there are some reverberatory furnaces no feet in length and one 120 feet. This is an interesting comparison with the reverberatory furnaces placed in the Colarod smelting plant in this city, which were only 20 feet in length.
 Senator Clark had been through the plant before, but he enjoyed the trip yesterday very much, indeed, and acquired considerable information which will be helpful to him in con- Colorado smelting plant in this city,

COPPER BASIN MINE
 Is BUILDING PLANT
(From Wednesdays Dailyl

(FrOm Wednesday s Dally)
 While in the city yesterday from the '. s. Navy mines in Copper Bas- in district, Geo. C. Meese, general manager, stated that the 15O horse power boiler had been finally deliv- cred at the camp, after considerable trouble owing to limited transporta- tion facilities to handling such large machinery It weighed close to 20,- 900 pounds.
 In about ten days the plant should be under headway, when large mine development will be inaugurated. The old under ground workings will be pumped out, and drifting from the 4OO-foot level east and west will be the plan of operation, in order to de- termine the extent of the Ore-bearing zone.
 An immense tonnage in the old drifts is available for stoping and with thousands of tons on the dumps, this enterprise faces a decidedly flattering outlook. The plant it is said will be the most up to date in the county and is being erected on substantial lines. The first shipment of ores was made to the east last week, of over SO,OOO pounds, lead and zine being the main content. It is probable that in the near future a reduction plant will be installed to treat the output at the mines.

MURDER TINTED
 BODY FOUND IN DITCH

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 14. - The body of the unidentified man found recently in the Salt River canal after he had been dead for three days will be exhumed for purposes of further attempt at Identification and for an autopsy. It is believed that the man is Frank Ferguson and an effort to establish identity by exhibiting the body to persons who knew Frank Ferguson in life will be made. Fer guson is missing.
 Another reason for exhuming the body is the growing belief that the man was murdered. It is believed certain that if the body is that of Frank Ferguson, murder was the cause of his death, owing to collateral cir tumstances.
 Redmond Toohey, a well known con- tractor of Phoenix, is the man who first created suspicion that the body found in the canal may have been that of Ferguson and that Ferguson was murdered. Toohey paid Fergu- son, who was employed by the former, a large sum of money three days be- fore the body was found. When the body was found it appeared to have been in the water about three days. It is a growing theory on the part of the officers that the money was the motive for an assault on Fergu- son by unidentified persons and that, murder resulting, an effort was made to hide the crime by throwing the body into the canal The body was buried in the county cemetery. pr. Wiley will perform the autopsy.
 Later = The body was positively identified as that of Frank Ferguson, but no signs of murder were found by Dr. Wylie.

BILL AIMED AT
 IRRESPONSIBLE CONCERNS
(From Wednesdays Daily)

(tr0m WedneSday s Dally)
 The published declaration yesterday of Mark Bradley, Republican eandi- date for the lower house of the legis- lature, that he would work for a law that would so protect the miner and the laborer as to insure the payment of his wages met with universal fav- or. This is a plank in the Repub- lican platform and every other Re publican candidate is pledged to the same measure.
 Such a bill as MT. Bradley proposes to work and vote for, is aimed at the companies which come into Ari- zona and work properties under bond and lease. Having no title to the property, they are irresponsible to the extent that the laboring man is unable to place a lien upon the same to enforce the payment of his wages Where companies own the property upon which the miner is employed, the same can be attached by due process of law, and under such con dition the miner and others are pro- tected MT. Bradley's bill is not aimed against such responsible con- cerns but it directed against the com panies who are operating without any visible assets. If they are honest, they will not hesitate to put up a bond; if they are skating on thin ice financially, they should be compelled to furnish the bond and if they can not do so, it is better for the com munity that they should not begin operations at all

HILLSIDE MOVING
 AHEAD, SAYS DARNALL
GFrom Thursdays Daily.)

While in the city yesterday from Hillside station on the s. F. P. & P. railroad, Morse Darnall stated that during the past month over six train loads of cattle have been shipped from that point and a total of over 5000 head were taken from the ranges adjacent. The greater portion were sent to Imperial valley, Cal, for fattening while the remainder were purchased by Colorado feeders. Among the heaviest were Robert Shultz, Henry Ritter, the Arizona Cattle com pany, and Robert Miller. Mir. Oar nall states that the industry is in a prosperous condition and very fav- orable winter is anticipated, and sev- eral thousand more cattle will be shipped out. Mining also is attract ing attention and several new camps are being established in the Santa Maria district

DRY FARMER HAS
 CORN, HOGS AND COIN
(FTom Fridays Daily.)

James Davis, the champion hog raiser of Ferguson valley, visited the Chamber of Commerce yesterday and reported a most excellent corn crop on his dry ranch there this year.
 Davis has 25O hogs, 15O of which are fat and husky and rapidly ap- preaching the date of their exeeu- tion. A load of thirteen average sized porkers which he brought up this trip, netted him, at 91a cents pound, the tidy sum of $214.
 In a crib eighty feet long, ten feet high and seven feet wide, he has 22OO bushels of husked corn. Of this years crop, he has already fed to his hogs 1900 bushels besides. He estimates the cost of the feeding at SI per bushel and counting the pro portion fed from this crop says the whole was worth s4,163, at the time of harvesting.
 One half acre of milo maize, plant ed as an experiment, would have netted Davis $50 on the market. Due to the dry weather in August, his bean crop was largely damaged, net ting him but $500.
 A couple of years ago, Davis bought this farm, over 300 acres, for 5000, with improvements valued at more than that figure alone. The land is typical dry farm land, except that the soil is more fertile than the average.
 On ten acres of corn grown by Jack Arnold and Ed Coughran just next the ranch of Ed Stephens, in the same valley, over 400 bushels have been harvested. This crop was grown without irrigation and withstOod the dry spell in August bravely, as the yield attests.

LAKE OCCUPIES
 TOWNSHIP IN IDAHO

SPOKANE, Wash. Nov. 14-Roose- welt, the principal town in the Thur der Maintain district in central Ida ho in 1902. today is covered by lake 600 yards in length and 200 yards in width and of an average depth of 25 feet. It was the scene of a gold strike nine years ago and thousands braved the hardshiPs and hazards of the trial. It proved a disappointment though much pay ore was developed nearby.
 The circumstance which wiped the town of Roosevelt from the map was peculiar. It resulted from a land slide two years ago, starting near the source of Mule creek, a mile and a half from the settlement. The great avalanche of earth and stone plowed its way through a virgin forest with roar that was heard for miles. Twenty-six hours after the break Oe- cured the mass stopped abruptly across the lower part of the town, forming a dam for Monument creek, which has now formed a lake where the townsite stood.
 There were few residents in the town at the time of the slide and all escaped with their possessions, owing to the slowness of the avalanche. A log school house and two cabins, out of its path, now stand as silent sen tinels to mark the vanished town. The buildings are situated above the water line and as the lake has risen to a point that it has an outlet, it is not likely the water will become deeper.
 Roosevelt camp today is deserted, the residents having moved to other holdings The mines are closed and the prospeetors and miners have sought newer and more promising fields in the tributary country, which is rich in mineral resources. It is hardly probable that the camp ever will be resurrected, as it is isolated and off the line of transportation, be- sides which it would take a fortune to drain the water off to make it fit for habitation.

WEST IS FUTURE
 MEAT SUPPLY DEPENDENCE

DENVER, Nov 16.-The question of a food supply for the nation is rapidly becoming a vital problem. The great agricultural sections of the middle west are having all they can do to produce the grain necessary for bread, and it is becoming more and more apparent that the supply of meat for the future must come from the great intermOuntain country west of the Missouri river, where the mil lions of acres of cheap grazing land makes the growing of live stock not only possible, but profitable. The big job facing the west right now is the task of educating the stockmen and farmers in the most modern and profitable methods in producing meat. The Western Stock Show association, composed of prominent men all over the west, was organized for this par ticular purpose, and in the annual exhibition held at Denver in January of each year is providing a practical school in modern meat making that is already accomplishing wonderful results. When the first exhibition was held seven years ago practically all Of the exhibits came from the middle west. At the big show to be held during the week of January 15- 20 next, the bulk of the exhibits will come from the west and will compete against the best the east can produce. Colorado, Wyoming,

ARIZONA CENTRAL MUST INSTALL
 B|G PUMP
(From Saturdays Daily)

" AOhA OdAll
 J. w. Norton, general manager of the Arizona Central Copper company, arrived in the city yesterday from his camp in the Black Hills, and stated that a temporary suspension of development was necessary be- cause of striking a large flow of water in the east crosscut from the 100O-foot level, which the pumps were not capable of handling. The flow was encountered without any warn ing. A new pump will be installed in the next few weeks and opera tions resumed.
 Since assuming charge, MT. Norton states that drifting on the second, third and eighth levels has exposed fine bodies of ore, which continued to the bottom of the main shaft, which is 1O53 feet deep. Copper sul- phides carrying gold and silver are being exposed at all points. Since starting the crosscut east toward the contact, splendid results have been met with. which with the showing above establishes the future of the property. He expressed himself as well satisfied with conditions, and left last night for Phoenix on busi- ness. He will return in a few days to prepare for resuming work.

SILVER PRINCE IS CENTER OF

(From Saturdays Daily)

AIiOlu SdLuIudJ bdlly
 Returning yesterday from an in spectiOn of development on the Silver Prince mine in the Bradshaws, F. L. Wright, general manager of the Swastika Development company, oper- ating that property expressed him self in an enthusiastic manner con- corning the conditions. He stated that in a few days another carload of silver-lead ore would be shipped to Fl Paso, which he believed would exceed in value the October carload, and it returned nearly 5000.
 The bonanza ore body was struck in the east drift from the 300 foot level, and this zone is being developed at present, with stoping under way in that section. For the present exploration will be eentered along that drift, and later the main shaft will be increased in depth. Mir. Wright is confident of opening up a big producer of high grade silver ore, such as attracted attention in mining circles in early days. MT. Wright returned to Los Angeles leav- ing the property under the superin- tendency of E. E. AxfOrd, to whom much credit is due for his energetic work and efficient handling of the

TRANSFUSION IN TREATMENT OF
 POISON

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 17.-Pos- sibly without precedent in the an nals of medical practice is the direct transfusion of blood to eounteraet biehloride poisoning performed upon Margaret Seully, a nurse in training at the Sacred Heart hospital in Spo- kane. Her mother, Mrs. J. B. Valen- tine, 174S Eleventh avenue, said last night that the patient is improving rapidly.
 Miss Seully by mistake used bieh- loride tablets for a headache, but be- fore the poison began its work she was able to summon a physician. The pump and the usual treatment were applied, but she continued to fail. Blood tests showed only 50 per cent of the normal number of eorpuseles and a transfusion of blood was de- eided upon. The patients brother, Edward Seully, living at Mansfield, Wash, volunteered and a direct trans fusion was made. Dr. R. D. Cashatt, who performed the operation, reports that a quart of fliud was taken from Seully and that this saved his sis ter's life. Physicians declare the case is entirely new to the medical profession and that it markes an i'm nOrtan+ discovery

The final act in the closing down of the Humboldt smelter took place yesterday afternoon, when the night shift went to work, at which time the blower was cut off and the smelt- CT "died' When it will be blown in again is a question. Chas. A. Dins- more, editor of the Fl Paso Mining Journal arrived from the Humboldt district last night, and stated that while the superintendent, R. T. Walk CT, seemed in conversation with him, to be optimistic, there was a feeling of alarm among the people at the town.
 Some appear to believe that the shelter will be blown in again in a short time, and that there will be great improvements, but to MT. Dins- more, MT. Walker stated that no i'm provements would be made till an exact knowledge of the Blue Bell ores and ore bodies was obtained through the medium of the diamond drill, which is now in operation on the property. The concentrator will do some testing work meanwhile, to determine if the ores are amenable to that character of treatment; but beyond that nothing would be given out. It seems to be true that i'm provements are contemplated; but certainly these will not be started until the exact method of proper treatment of these ores is deter mined.

HUMBOLDT CLOSES FOR
 WANT OF FLUXING ORES
(From Wednesdays Daily)

(fr0m NedneSday DallN)
 Arrivals from Humboldt yesterday confirm reports in circulation that the smelting plant of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling company would sus- pend today, and with the exception of few employees who had been retain ed in minor capacities, the services of the main force would be dispensed with. A small reverberatory furnace is to be built to treat a miscellaneous assortment of ores and cleanings that had accumulated, otherwise the big plant would be inactive.
 One of the officials of the company, it is reported, stated that the reason given for the closing down of the smelter at this time is that there are not enough mines working in the county to furnish the plant with that character of ore that is necessary for fluxing purposes, and under these de- plorable conditions. it had been deem ed expedient to adopt the above course.
 The Blue Bell mine, owned by the company, however, will continue to be operated by a small force, and diamond drill exploitation will be con- ducted from the lower levels. s. R. Trengove is superintendent of this work.
