Fire Damages an Old Mine.

The main shaft of the Albion mine on Ruby hill. one of the properties of the Rich'nond-Eureka Mining com. pany, caught fire sometime Tuesday forenoon and before it was put out Wednesday morning considerable portion of the cribblng in the 600-foot shaft was burned out. When the blaze was discovered, Ike Rogers, in charge of the company's properties here, took a force of men over to the Albion, and an effort was made to put out the fire, but as no water was available and the blaze in the shaft had gained consider able headway. nothing could he done except to beat out the lire in the sur rounding sagebrush.
 Tuesday night the fire in the shaft had assumed spectacular proportions. the upcast current of air from the Albion connections with the Rich mOnd and Eureka mines creating a draft that caused the flames and burn. ing embers to reach height of some 60 or 70 feet.
 Before recovering the shaft Wednes- day Mir. Rogers had some rocks and earth thrown down the shaft, and from the sounds obtained it was judged that the fire had not reached the cribbing and timbers in the extreme lower por- tions, but how far down they had burn ed could not be ascertaned.
 While the cause of the fire has not been learned, it is thought that some of the wooden shaft covering that was exposed caught fire from the sage brush that had grown up around the shaft, but how the sagsbrush caught fire has not been ascsrtaned. No one on Ruby hill lives within half a mile of the Albion shaft.
 The collar of the Albion shaft has now been recovered and sealed up tight with sheet steel and earth, and it is thought all the fire has died out. Eureka Sentinel.

Higher Wage and
 Increased Freight Rates.

Throughout the country there is quite hubbub over the petition of the railroads to the Interstate Con- merce Commission for an increase in the rates of freight on certain com modities on account of the increased cost of operating the railroads. For many years the railroads have been forced to gradually cut rates of freights until through the eastern states very low rate has been es- tablished, and long haul and tide water competition rate established that has frightened the burdens of ship pers. All these concessions have been forced from the railroads by force of public opinion and the consistent action of the Com mission. While these things were being accomplished the railroads have had to meet the de- mands for higher wage in every branch of service, and while there has been larger volume of business done the expense of handling It has been correspondingly greater, and it now looks as though there may be some justice in the demand of the railroads that the present rate of freight tariffs may be in the nature of confiscation. The railroads are entitled to the same consideration as the individual and the fact that they are great corporations and have ground out the last dollar from the shipper should not initiate against them when they are being closely controlled by the government. Shareholders in public utilities cor porations should get reasonable re- turn on their money and rates of freight should be elastic enough to al low revenue and upkeep, or else these great trunk lines should be taken over entirely by the govern. ment and freights made to cover actual expense of operation.

Official announcement was received yesterday of the declaring off of all differences between men and employ. CTS at Nacozari and the return to work of the forces which went out last week in such part as the Moctezuma Copper Co. was ready to take them back. De- velopments since the opening of the trouble indicate that the men went out in response to a few agitators, who were really not informed as to what they were agitating about. When they discovered that their attitude had resulted ID the couple of thousand men employed by the company quit ting their jobs and placing themselves and families in the way of destitution, they were about as much distressed as were the men they had misled. The consequence was that everybody was speedily ready to go back to work, the test of strength having been quickly found entirely one.sded. Final ad- | justment of matters was made on Tuesday upon the return from the coast of Walter Douglas. It is not be- lieved that there will be further diff | fculty in Nacozari or rvicinity.-Bisbee ReyieW

STATE PRISONERS
| TO WORK ON ROADS
EXPERIMENT WILL BE TRIED
WITH GANG OF coNvIcTs
FROM ANAMOSA.

Des Moines, July 29.-Before sum
mer is ended it will be decided
whether Iowa prisoners can be used
on highways and public works to the
advantage of the state and the con-
vict. The first experiment is to De
begun in few days.
| Final arrangements for putting
prisoners from Anamosa to work on
iroads at the State college at Ames
will be made today at Ames. Sena-
tor Anthony McColl, member OF
the board of control; Warden G. G.
McClaughry of the Anamosa prison,
! and Thomas H. Mcdonald, state
highway engineer ARE to confer. They
met with the other members OF the
board of control at the state house
and agreed on the general plan.
| To be Kept in Tent.
From fifteen to twenty-five men are
to be put to work with another gang
of workmen hired by the college.
| They are to be kept in tent pitch
ed on the college campus; prison
guards to be in charge, and prison Of
| fcials providing meals.
The college to pay the state the
same wages for these men as other
men cost it.
The board of control to reward the
prisoners with a part of the money
/ they earn.
This experiment will test the
soundness of the theory In prison
management which has been demand
ed in Iowa for some time. Geo. Cos
son, attorney general, was respon-
sible for the law that makes using
the prisoners possible. If the expert
ment proves a success he says those
who have demanded the abolition OF
convict labor and make the prisoner
self-supporting will be vindicated.
"The board has not decided what
per cent of his earnings the prison
er will get" Senator McColl said.
81 am sure, however, he will get a
liberal portion Of it."
To Retain Expense Money.
The law contemplates that the
state retain enough to defray the
cost of convicting and keeping the
prisoner, give part to those de-
pendent on the prisoner, and give
him small compensation.
Warden McClaughry told the board
it will cost little more to put 70 men
to work than it will cost to work a
dozen, the number asked for by the
college. Two guards will be enough
to look after the men. 1t will take
more food for rs men than for IL,
but the preparation will cost little
more. ..r . -
ut is probable a tent will be pitch
ed on the campus and the men kept
in it at night" Senator McColl said.
1.-THE prisoners will work with the
other men hired by the college.
There will be no spectacle made OF
the prisoners. A person who sees
gang Of workmen won't know con-
Wet from free man.
I'VE probably will charge the col
lege usual day wage for the men,
he continued. "The state will take out
Of this enough to keen the men, may
be little more. A liberal part Will
be given the prisoner
II the experiment on the road work
proves successful, prisoners will be
used to build sewer at the college.
And, once it is shown men can be TAX
en- from the prison to public work
without danger to the community or
injury to the prisoners, men will be
sent to Cerro Gordo county to work
on the roads.
