FOUGHT WITH RAILROAD TRAIN
Herd Of Infatuated Bulls Held Their
Own In Combat With Master
piece Of Man.

At a point on the railway line be-
tween Mirabel and Canaveral, on the
Spanish side Of the boundary line be-
tween Spain and Portugal. there once
occurred an odd sort Of bullfight.
A train had Just come out on a
sweeping curve from the hills and
down upon a little plain when the en-
gineer saw directly before him herd
OF bulls on the tracks. The engineer
blew his whistle vigorously and all
the bulls fed. with the exception OF
one great fellow. who made straight
for the train with horns lowered and
roaring defiance.
1t was too late TO prevent a collision
and the bull was killed, but his car
cass, lying under the wheels Of the
locomotive, prevented the train pro
ceeding. Passengers and crew united
20 clear the track. IN the meantime
the great herd Of bulls, seeming the
blood OF their dead leader. came flock
ing back, paving and threatening. The
nearer they came the more Infatuated
they grew, and finally they charged
like a vhirlwind on the little band OF
workers
Then all the men abandoned theiI
task and took refuge in the cars The
/ bulls followed them to the very steps
believing and paving. Soldiers aboard
the train tried TO stampede the ami
mails with stones. The bulls recoiled
charged again, recoiled once more;
aud for two hours the battle ragged
victory now seeming 20 be with one
side and now with the other. At las
as night came on, the bulls withdrew
and betook themselves to some dis
! tant shelter. Then the employees anG
passengers were able TO set TO worl
again. The track was cleared ana
the train proceeded on It's way.

At THE ROYAL THEATRE

The Royal Theater announces a
complete change of program for TO-
day and tomorrow. The pictures for
this program have been selected with
the greatest care, and are the very
cream OF the combined licensed pro-
ducers.
The first picture on the program is
the Essanays feature production for
the month, entitled "Broncho Billy's
Gratitude" This is one of the finest
powerful plot strikingly developed
powerful plot striking ly developed
and grippiDgly portrayed, originated
by Mr.. G.. NJ. Anderson, famous
throughout two hemispheres for his
characterization OF "Broncho Billy
Days of Terror" wildly shows
one Of the most interesting pages OF
the great French wars. During the
French revolution the terrible strug-
gle between the masses and the
classes brought to light many strange
incidents, but none more striking than
those shown in this picture. The
thrilling plot to satisfy personal de-
sires for power and TO humiliate the
pride of the aristocrats is alost in
credible.
THE Penalty of Intemperance" is
an unusually strong story with a
moral; a realistic life portrayal Of the
curse of intemperance.
The Automobile Races at Santa
Monica" shows the most interesting
events in the races which took place
recently at Santa Monica.
Chased by Bloodhounds' is ian

comedies" He can't escape. Even
IN his sleep they keep on coming.

Altogether this will be found one
of the most interesting programs
that has been seen in Bisbee for some
time.

GENERAL MINING NEWS

PHOENIX, Aug. 20:-Rumors are
floating around Phoenix today that
a huge copper strike has been made
recently near the Kay and Harris
Copper mines. The reports are that
the strike is the largest ever made
in Arizona. The strike is said TO have
been made about two months ago,
near the mouth OF Black Canyon
Greek, fifty miles north Of Phoenix.
where IL enters into the Aqua Fria.
Mining men from all over the eoun-
try have been travelling through
Phoenix to that vicinity, necessarily.
for the past month or two. and If
appearances are taken for granted.
there must surely be some reason
for this activity. IL is believed that
in a month or two win come a de
tailed report from the owners and
operators Of these two miles, the Kay
and the Harris.
Charles ]. W. Saunders, ex-mayor
of Dubuque. Iowa, and treasurer OF
the Kay Copper company, returned
from his mine yesterday, and left
for Los Angeles in q hurry.
c. C. Harris came here from Find
lay, Ohio, to inspect his company
holdings, which are near the claims
of the Kay Copper company. Mr.
Harris is president OF the Harris
Copper company. upon which part
Of the huge strike has been made.
The Kay Copper company and the
Harris Copper company are shipping
large quantities OF high grade cop
per ore from Glendale to where II
has to be hauled by fifteen mule
teams. Every car load Of ore that
has been sent to the smelters from
these two companies has brought
higher and higher prices, as the ore
each time is found TO be Of a better
quality than before. thus giving yer
ifieation 10 the report that the
strike is composed Of nearly all
pure copper of the finest grade.

A new, well timbered shaft has
been sunk in the virgin ground to the
