Gathering Reports
 of Arizona Mines

The Bureau of Minfs, affiliated with the School of Mine. of the University of Arizona. wss organized early iu the summer, but the ~ork did not actively commence until the beginning of the college year.
 As the Bureau was organized to as- siss the mining industry of the state i.s fret work was proper acquaintance with and records of the industry as it now stspds. And 60 the Bureau has complied @ quite complete record of 1897 mines existing in the State of Arizona, divided as tolloss: Cochise County 227 ,Cocopino i9, Giis l55, c a ham 9l, Msricops lO3, Mobsve s4. Pima Ill. Santa Cruz 67, Ysvspsi 342 and Yuma9l. Records of other mines are being gathered every day. The next tack was e proper olsssifi- cation of literature already published regarding the mining and geology of arizona. 1887 bibliogrspbic references have been filed and properly classified and although not all of these docu- | m ants are within the reach of the Bu- resu at present. it is hoped that they may be gathered together. Ot1er industries than metal nininc have mad their share oi attention. Re- cords have been gathered of 163 pills, l4 reduction works. 2S brick plants,I7 cement block fac ories, fire brick factories, 5 marble and granite works clay .aDd gypsum property.
 Although correspondence with the mining opers tors of fhe state has not been sought. 336 letters have been sn- swered since the B1rean was organ" izej.
 When it is considered that the above represents les, than one third of s years work, it is not hard to sppre.. ciste the good that the Bureau of
 Mines may do in demonstrating in the
 la'gest way possible the mineral re.

Norwich bulletin., 1914-07-25

two powers will become involved in war. An Austro- Hungarian ultimatum to Servia. touched in tone of almost unprecedented severity and fastening on the Servian government and people responsibility for the assassinations of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife at Sarayevo recently, has been presented to Belgrade. It demands sat- isfaction within AS hours.
 HumiIiating Terms.
 The almost universal opinion in the European capitals is that the Servian government cannot comply with such humiliating terms as are set forth in the ultimatum since compliance would be tantamount to an admission of Ser via's guilt. The Russian government already is seeking to gain an extension of time for Servia.
 The efforts of European diplomacy, should the powers fail to avert the threatened war, will be devoted to To- calizing it. Montenegro has indicated her readiness to support Servia 1 nthe event of an Austrian attack This cer- tainly would plunge the whole of the Balkans into hostilities Austria counts on the neutrality of her allies, Ger many and Italy; but with the possl- bilitv of Russian intervention on behalf of Servia, Austria would run great risks of risings among her own great Slav population.
 A fact much commented upon by the European newspapers is that Austria has chosen a moment for the issuing of her ultima tum when President Poin- care is absent from France and two of the Balkan premiers are abroad.

BOULDER cRUSHEs
 MAN TO DEATH.
Plunged Down a 15o Foot PreoipIee at Hamden-Three Narrowly Es- capped.

New Haven, Conn. July 24-ons man was cruhed to death and three other had narrow escapes from sim liar fate when a twenty ton boulder became Ioosened at a stone quarry at Mill Rock in Hamden, late today, and plunged down a 15o foot precipice. The dead man is Theodore Marchine, 45 years old, of Fairhaven, who leaves a wife and five children.
 As is customary In certain branches of quarry work, rope were attached about the waists of the workers, the ends of the ropes being held by fel- low laborers, There was no rope about Marchine's body. and his death was undoubtedly due to this fact.
 The four men were working on the top of a great ledge of solid rock, when a portion of it, weighing, it is estimated, 20 tons, suddenly gave way and fell with a. thunderous roar to the bottom of cliff many feet below. The three workmen dangled in the air from their ropes, until they were pull ed to places of safety by their com panions. Marchine fell with the bould- CT, it rolling over upon him, and crush ing out life instantly. The body, mangled beyond recognition, was later recovered.
