Parcel Post a Growing Convenience.

Coast Beacon.
The experience of enterprising mer-
chants with the parcel post has demon
strated that it is a great trade winner.
Taken into consideration with the coun-
try telephone, it facilitates sales of
goods by the merchants and produce by
the farmer. The man in the country can
make sale by telephone and deliver by
the rural route of parcel post packages.

OCEAN SPRINGS MAN.
KILLED BY DYNAMITE.
Fred Guillotte Blown to
Pieces While Blasting With
Dynamite Andrew Quave
Who Was Assisting in the
Work, Seriously Injured
and Not Expected to Live.
An Awful Warning to
to Users of Dynamite for
Blasting of Stumps.

Ocean Springs, March 10. - Fred.
Guillotte was literally blown to pieces
this afternoon by dynamite, and An
drew Quave is so badly bruised and
shocked that it is hardly possible he
will live. The accident occurred this
afternoon on one of the divisions being
developed by Woodward and Hicks.
Guillotte and Quave were blowing
up stumps with dynamite, and it can
not be learned definitely just how the
accident happened.
Persons who were at distance think
Guillotte was carrying a box OF the
explosive with Quave close by, and
must have stumbled, or perhaps he had
caps in with the box of dynamite,
which may have been Jared. After
the explosion, which was terrific, bits
of Guillotte's clothing and pieces OF his
body were gathered up 200 feet away.
Quave was stunned, and his body
has surface lacerations, and he coughs
up Diood, showing the terrlnc Jar he
must have received. He talks a little
incoherently, and not much of the facts
can be learned from him.
Woodward and Hicks have large
holdings here, just on the outskirts of
Ocean Springs, in which they are max
ing extensive developments, blowing up
stumps and digging bitches with dyna-
mite. They are using it extensively
at their several places. The tract where
the accident occurred is known as their
thousand acre place and is about nine
miles from town.
Guillotte was about twenty-five years
of age. Quave is married man with
several children, and was manager fol
Woodward and Hicks.

The new parcel post will extend the
country to the city and the city to the
country as nothing in the world beside
can do. It will soon become one of the
most indispensable of public utilities
and the government in making this
possible will have entrenched itself more
deeply than ever in the hearts of its
citizens. This has long been a crying
necessity.

Telluride Mining Company
 Elect Officers.

The annual meeting of the stock, holders of tie Telluride Mining com pany was held in the office of c. w. Herndon at Kingman, last Thursday morning. Several of the shareholder, came in from Los Angeles to attend the meeting. The old board of direc- tors, composed of the following gen tlemen, was elected. F. A. Macneil, F. c. Mcdonald, w. Mathle, N. E. Scott and J, E. Rose. After the di- rectors' election d meeting of the new board was held and J. E. Rose was elected president, w. Mathie vice president, and N. E. Scott secretary and treasurer.
 The Telluride mining company was organized few years ago by J. E. Rose, who has been instrumental in collecting a mining estate second to none in the Tom Reed section. The group of mines lie to the south and west of the Black Eagle, the property | III WulCil Uuo ou ItCcu IcCcuCIy Oio' covered a great body of milling ore. A shaft has been sunk to depth of 200 feet under the supervision of P. c. Mcdonald. From the bottom of this shaft drift i, being run through the vein, now being in sixtythree feet In vein matter of milling grade. In the breast better grade of ore has been opened and it is thought that toward the other wall still better grade will be found. It IS estimated that more than forty feet will have to be run be- fore the footwall of the vein is reached The vein lies over the rolling hills to the south of the Tom Reed camp and in an accessible part of the district, being reached from Oatman by an ex- cellent wagon road. It is one of the close in properties and is certainly showing its good qualities. as has all the locations along the trend of the famous Tom Reed lode. Mr. Rose. the president of the company, was over at the mines this week and is most en- thusiastic over the showing of the property.

Parties have been looking over th- b Z iron deposits along the Bill Will. llams Fork with a view to building railroad in there and shipping the ores to a smelter either on the coast or Colorado. The iron ores of that region are very rich, the average value being close to 65 per cent. An estimate of the tonnage lying on the surface is above 2.5OO,OOO, while it is possible that tho hills will give far g eater production. Many millions of tons are also to be found on the north side of the stream which would assure d tonnage sufficient to warrant the building of railroad into that country. Aside from the iron ores of Bill Williams Fork these parties have been looking over the mining pos abilities of that country and should they come in it will mean the de. velopment of the copper aud lead veins on an extensive basis. The McCrack- en mines would furnish an immense tonnage of ore, while other mines in the vicinity would also add largely to this tonnage. A railroad that would reach the Bill Williams Fork and pass on up the Big Sandy Valley would be 8 paying investment from the start. A long the east side of the Wallapai mountains are some of the greatest veins in the state that would yield millions of tons of low grade copper and lead ores that might be shipped direct to the smelters, and the farm ing interests would be furnished a market for it's important farming pro ducts.

HOLIDAYING IN
The WINTER
AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF MONEY
SPENT BY WESTERN cANADi-

IAN unusually large number OF
Western Canada people are leaving

Winter in California
The above item of news was clip

early in December. In the same paper
were items Of news conveying the in
telligence that hundreds of Western
Canadians were also taking q trip
abroad, spending the Christmas sea-
son Eat home" as they yet term the
old land. The Scandinavian element
participated largely in the holiday
business of the railroads and the
steamships, but they all had return
tickets Early in December the east
bound trains and boats were loaded.
and an estimate furnished by the rail-
road people gave upwards of twelve
thousand as the number who would
make the Christmas holiday visit
abroad. This does not mean that these
people are leaving to avoid the cold
ness of the winter, nor for any eli
matte conditions whatever. They
have come out to Canada and have
done so well that they can afford the
hundred and fifty or two hundred dol
lars or more that 1t takes to carry
them across and back. When they
came to Canada they did not have
that much money all told. but now
they are wealthy and on their return
will bring some of their friends with
them.
Then there are those, too, who on
their wheat farms have made suffi-
cient money that they can afford to
take holiday, and what better winter
holidaying ground could they have
than California? How many in other
farming districts of the continent
could afford the money and the time
that these people can?-Advertise-
