 D meeting held here the other day.
 when signal system experts address-
 cd a hundred employees of the great
 system on the subject of scientific railroad signaling. The experts were
 William Churchill and W. $. Ham.
 and they icintly delivered most in
 teresting lecture.
 Mr. Ham and Mr. Churchill have
 been years studying the optical e. feet of glasses used in lamps Of var ious kinds employed in signaling. and have develored a theory of railroad signals on e scientific basis. They showed, for instance, that such an apparently trivial thing as a danger lamp on the rear end Of train nay prove totally ineffective if 1t be thrown so much as threeeights of an inch out of the horizontal line and thus be the cause of danger ous and possibly fatal accident
 lnvents New Lens
 Air. Churckin has invented a new lens for use on trains when a curve is lbeing taken, which allows the light to be seen at far greater dis tance than is the case with the com mon lens, now in use. It is more than possible that the railroad will give the invention a try out soon.
 Mining men here are much inter gold recently made on the D. and W. company's property near Needles, ct whipple mountain. c. E. Wilbei who made the discovery reports that the large body of ore found carries values of an average of $l4 to the ton. More important than the mere find of that much ore is the generally accepted fact that the proves the worth of the district.
 Mining Progress Noted. George Bernardo, president of the | Copper Lead mines of the Bill VII l liams district. reports that the word | on the property is progressing fast and satisfactorily. The shaft Is now down 14O feet. he says, with high grade gold and copper ore showing ] on all sides.
 By the way a rich strike In the Four metals mines is reported here by employees in the Patagonia mount ains, Santa Cruz county. The strike Is said to be in a new tunnel which | has been pushed through a partic- 1larly long and hard streak of gran ite
 Important, if True.
 It is to be supposed that you folks | have heard something fthe pur- chase of Shattuck-Arizona and the properties by the Cop per uQeen Consolidated corporation. l We have here, but from the latest l reports it seems that the purchase has not as yet gone beyond the nego- tiation stage. In just what form the | merger will materiaiize if the pro posed deal goes through Is not known in Los Angeles mining cir eles.
 Since Uncle Sam flung his cordion of troops along the Arizona border, l he has put pretty effectual stop to the smuggling of Chinese coolies, | and now comes story that, owing | to the present whereabouts Of sun dry bodies of American soldiers. 25O coolies are slowly starving to death in Ensenada, Mex. It seems that MexicaIi was first intended as the port of entry. but when this was closed several places on the line were selected, notably 1 Sasabe and Naco, the one in Pima and the other in Cochlse county. These were found impossible for | the purpose of smugglers. and the cooiies were deserted by them. A tinge Of pathos sadded to the story by the statement that the cooiies. rather than lose their chance to get into this country have been liv- ing almost on nothing so as to save their passage money. Chinese here and in San Diego have been sending them money and provisions, but it is doubtful, they say, if any of it will reach the destination.
