Seven negroes and white man
we're rendered unconscious during the
severe electrical storm Thursday at
Newport News, when lightning
struck d ship on the ways under
which they had taken shelter. Three
of the negroes and the white man
were taken to a hospital. Lightning
struck a pole near the ship. The
charge ran about halfway down the
pole and leaped to the side of the
ship. From the side of the ship the
lightning travelled to the keel and
forward up the keel and out through
the bow into the earth. The men
were directly under the ship and the
travelling lightning knocked them to

SENATOR PIT TMAN GETS
ASSURANCES ON SILVER

In response to his urgent telegram
appealing for the purchase of silver by
the director of the mint, Senator Pitt
man has received message from
Washington that Director Wooley
agrees with Senator Pittman as to the
policy expressed and will Immediately
commence the purchase of silver.
Coincident with the sending of the
telegram from Washington il was not
ed that the director of the mint had
purchased 100000 ounces of silver in
the market for coinage. Senator Pitt
man has wired again asking further
details as to the plans of purchase de-
cided on and expects more informa-
tion shortly.
The amount purchased, IL followed
regularly. would mean about 5000, 900
ounces a month and would approx.
mate in a degree the extent of the
Sherman silver purchase act. It's most
beneficial effect, however. would be in
injecting the element of competition
into the silver market. which would
tend to staudardize the price of sill.
YER
It Is no secret that there has been
no open market for silver for months
past The buying companies are not
bidding against each other and Il is
obvious that the welfare of Nevada's
silver mines depends on the creation
of competition by the government act
ually entering the market to a sub.
stantial extent. The safety of this
move Is considered as evident as the
beneficial effect Il would have on the
western mining Eclds.-Nevada Demo.

were called, but the fellow had gotten
away when they arrived. 4 good de

no effort will be spared to land the

trailer the officers tracked him from

they were sill on a hunt this after
noon. All the Trains are being close

make escape or them.
TheIe was considerable excitement
about town this morning when the

known, and there was talk of dealing
out summary judgment.

The officers of the school ore out
searching for the boys, and as the Of

notified. it is hardly probable that
they will make good their escape.
The boys escaped through the win

Their absence was quickly discovered,
but it was impossible to overtake

DYKE JONES' BROTHER
MAY LOSE LEG

The Genesee, New York, Gazette con-
tains the following account of the in
jury to Walter Jones, brother of V.
d. Fl. Jones of the First National
Bank, who departed for New York
Thursday:
II. Walter Jones, Jr., son of Mr..
and Mrs. r. w. Jones. and manager
of their large farm just south of
Monroe village, was quite seriously
injured on Tuesday evening of this
week, about 1880 o'clock. Mr.. Jones
was operating reaper and binder in
piece of grain a short distance from
the barn. He had alighted to fix the
bride on one of the horses attached
to the reaper, when the team became
frightened at something and started
running down the side hill. One of
the spindles struck Mr.. Jones and
knocked him down in front of the
machine. Being unable to eXtricate
himself, he was rolled over and over,
until the team stopped, having run
up to the corner of a fence, couple
OF hundred feet from where they
started. At the time of the accident,
Mr.. Jones was alone in the field, but
his outcres for help were heard by
other members of the family, who
hastened to his rescue. Mr. Jones
was conscious. but It was seen he had
received severe injuries. and doctors
were hastily summoned by phone. In
a short time. Drs. G.. II. Hall and O..
I. Van Keuren were at the Jones
farm and later were joined by DR.. D..
II. Sprague of Central Valley.
It was found that the leg was
several lacerated, both below and
above the knee. The ligaments and
muscles were also torn and bruised.
In DR.. VanKeuren's car, Mr. Jones
was removed to the Tuxedo Hospital,
where DR.. Rushmore, assisted by the
local doctors, completed dressing the
wounds. At first it was feared the
leg would have to be amputated, but
from present indications, and unless
the limb should become infected, 1t
does not seem necessary. Mr.. Jones'
condition, as we go 20 press, is as
favorable as can be expected.
In February last, Mr.. Jones was
married to Miss Hattie, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. s. G.. Bush of Monroe.
He is one of Monroe's most industrl
Gus and sterling young men, and has
large circle of friends. who regret
to learn of his trouble and sincerely
hope that he will recover in the short
est time possible.

Arizona Chapter American
 Mining Congress.

John A. Robinson, one of the best known men in northern Arizona and secretary of the Arizona Chapter of the American Mining Congress, was a visitor to Kingman this week in the interest of the Congress. MT. Robinson paid visit to Goldroad and Oatman and was agreeably surprised with the big work that is being carried on in that field. He found that it was not one mine camp, but that there were many big properties getting in shape for an output within the year, and that there were hundred promising pros- poets to be had all over the big district.
 At meeting of the Kingman Cham Der of Commerce Mir. Robinson told of the object and purpose of the Arizona Chapter and its relation to the better ment of the mining industry. He in formed the members and visitors at the Commerce Chamber that mining was now paying 36 per cent of the taxes of the state, and railroads 22 per cent, while farming was paying but 12 per cent and cattle and sheep raising but 6 per cent. In Mohave county mining and the railroads was paying about 90 per cent of the total tax. As mining is the one great taxpaying industry it was entitled to greater consideration than any other line of industrial business, but that farming are not willing to con- cede this. He believed it was time for the miners to get together and assert their rights and protect their interests before it was too late. He desired to see local branch of the Mining Con- gress established in Kingman and would later make an effort to get the people interested in mining together on the subject.
 MT. Robinson has many warm friends in this county who are always glad to see him here, and feel sure that he will make a big success of the Arizona Chapter.

Danger in Waiting.

Just because an Oregon scientist de- clares that old men do the best work is no reason, of course, why young fellows should put off contemplated achieve ments until the arrival of declining years. It may be that the man who &C., complishes little in his early maturity will make up for the lack when he starts down the western slope of life. It doesn't sound reasonable, however.
