 The machine landed some dis lance from the crowd or the fa- talities would have been great as the motor continued to work and the propellOr would have claimed the lives of many who would not have been able to get out of the way.

SUBWAY FLOODED
 IN NEW YORK
More Than One Million Persons Were Una Ie to Reach Their
 Homes.

New York, Oct. 2.--A terrific rainfall. which kept up steadily tor several hours yesterday caused the worst tieup of traffic which has ever occurred in the history of the city. The sewers were unable to carry off the wa ter and rivers were flowing in the streets.
 The subway was flooded and was closed to traffic, rendering more than one million persons unable to reach their homes. The homeless crowd wandered the streets all night and the police reserves had to be called out to maintain order. The food is the worst in the history of the city and the damage to merchandise in the lower parts of the city and in basements will amount to mil lions of dollars.

Ne g0tiations for the trans fer of the Midas Copper mine on Solomon Gulch were completed yesterday afternoon and the property is now in the possession of the Granby Consolidated Min ing, Smelling X Power company. The purchase price was a. cash deal representing an investment of $l23,0OO by the company The first payment amounting to $25,O0O was made yesterday through the Valdez Bank X Trust Co.,, and the balance will be paid in thirty days.
 The purchase of the Midas by the new company which has re- gently entered Alaska as field for it's operations will be good news for the people of this dis trict. They have shown their faith in this camp by paying cash for one of the biggest prop critics in the district. After hav- ing men nn the ground for weeks making a thorough exam inalion of the property they have taken advantage of the dis count which would necessarily be made in a deal of such mag nitudr when the buyers are pay ing cash.

Nantes. France, Oct. D. Through the insane rage of young boy who was chastiSed by his employer eight persons, all the members of his employers family, are in the mnrguc and child of four years has been left without parents.
 The boy is only fourteen years old and brOudrd over his scolding and last night while the family slept he entered their rooms and murdered them with an axe. Af- ter having killed his employer he struck down the mother of the children who had been awakened when her husband was dealt his death blow. The young fiend then visited the rooms of the six children one after another and killed them all but spared lit- tie child of four years of whom he was very fond. After the slaughter he concealed himself and the child in the basement and the crime was not discovered until this morning through the failure of the proprietor to open his place of business.

The men who were interested in the Midas before the transfer are all local business men and have shown their faith in it by putting up their own money to develop it to the point where big companies could be interested and deserve credit for their en- terprise.
 The opening of the Midas, To- catcd as it is. within a few miles of Valdez, will result in increased business for the local merchants and will give an impetus to the entire district by serving to at tract the attention of capital to other properties.
 While the representatives of the new company are reticenL in giving out any infOrmatio as to their plans for the future of the mine they have shown in other places in which they have become i interested that they lose mo time in developing their properties to the fullest extent. Their en- trance into the Ketchikan dis trict, where they recently ac- lMuired, the IIadley property, was welcomed by the people there as marking new era in the mining and business life of the cOmmun- ity.

Now that the Midas has been transferred to the big company which, is in a position Go open and develop it to it's fullest ca pacity a brief history of the propery is in order. The Midas, like every other big property, has had it's ups and downs during the past few years but may now be said to have "arrNed.'
 The Midas Copper property was first discovered by Red FL lis in the year of about 1900 while hunting. It was afterwards staked by G. q. Debney. John Canton and Edmund Smith, who represented it for several years.
 In 1910 J. A. Carson took bond from Debncy-Smith-Cantlon and 1 did considerable development work. In the fall of 1911 A. F.. Grigsby and T. J. Devinney took a bond from Carson, at the same time forming partnership of six people. namely, T. J. Devin- ncy. George c. Treat, George Baldwin, A. F.. f;rigsby, w. M. Wilson, John Feinbloom and Joe Plant. This co-partnership worked the property from Octo- Der 1, 1911. to September B. 1912, when it was bonded to the i Alaska Mineral and Development Co.,. represented by Stephen Birch.

on June 24, 1913, MT. Birch moved off from the property for reasons best known to himself after spending about S5O,OOO.O0. On October 1, 1913, the property was turn :d over to the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelling & Power Co.,: Ltd.. through their engineer. Mr. F. F. Campbell, paying cash for it. This makes the third property Mr.. Campbell has bought for his people this year.
 This property was bonded in the year 1903 by the IIadley Smrltrr people, paying some cash down. and when the second payment came due, there was a suit pending against Debncy for ownership of the property. Deb ncy winning his case, but too late for the Hadley people, as they did not want a property with a lawsuit tailed onto it.
 Mr.. Ethical is one of the local men who had acquired an inter- est in the property and will bcnc- Eft by the transfer.

His Opinion .
OF Umbrellas

ffO NE day last summer" remark
ed the professor, Il got
cqught in the rain Luck
lily. there were umbrellas for sale right
in the store where l sought refuge. I
selected one for Is cents, thinking that
would be the best investment. 1t
would get me home anyway, and that
was all I wanted. | didn't need an UNI
brella especially
1T chanCed to be a sort Of press the
button-it does the rest umbrella. All
I had to do was to press the button in
the handle and up it few, all ready to
keep the rain off.
II touched the button in accordance
with the clerks directions and the UNI
breIla flew up and 7 walked out 10
take my car, There was quite a show
cr in progress. When the car stopped
and I started to get aboard l discov-
cred that | couldn't pull the umbrella
down.
The clerk hadn't shown me how to
pull the thing down and I was not
much interested in that part OF the
process ut the store although I was
painfully interested now I could gee
no more buttons anywhere to press.
The conductor changed the bell and
some OF the passengers who were 8nX-
ious to ge- home to dinner suggested
that tako the next car which would
be along about the time I worked out
the umbrella puzzle
Il simply couldn't get that umbrella
lowered That was all there was to II,
paid my fare and held the umbrella
out behind the car. When I got home
! left It on the front porch, still up.
presently q gale Of wind came
along. Hearing 4 fiUtter. I looked out
of the window just In time to see my
umbrella borne by the wind to the
roof of the house Finally it settled on
top Of the chimney and shut off the
draft 80 that the house filled with
smoke and nearly burned down while
| was getting a ladder and climbing
up after the umbrella.
Il paid a dollar for the neKt UNI
brella l bought. It was raised by hand
only. In this respect it was satisfac-
tory but 1t had a way Of coming down
imprompcu. 1t took the most inoppor-
tune moments for coming down.
usually when It was raining like sixty
and my lands were full Of parcels
At such times II would come down so
suddenly and UNEXPECTEDLY that It
would surprise q wooden Indian or
provoke even one of those amiable

was so arranged that it could go
neither up nor down impromptu Tt
would stay up or down until its posi-
tiou was changed by the operator I
took much delight in operating this
one but II quit raining the minute r

arose it would be clear as 81 bell ana
I would leave my umbrella at home.

rean the house for the funeral and run
