LIVES LOST IN Qu|CKsAMD.
AND DAUGHTER DROWN.
ED WHILE ON FAMILY PIC.
MO.
Il. IL. Barrow Attempts to Save His
Daughter and Both Drown in Sight
OF Members Of Family.

Spartanburg, July Ar. H. Bar
row, Of 233 south Liberty street and
his little daughter. Jennie Sue, 13
years Of age, were the victims of
quicksand when they were drowned
in Pearson's pond near the Country
club east Of the city this afternoon,
while Mrs. Barrow and three LITTLE
sons stood near the edge Of the water
and were unable 70 give assistance.
The accident occurred in q small
body of water near which the mem
bers of the Barrow family had spent
the afternoon on family picnic.
Miss Jennie Sue Barrow had gone
into the pond to wade when she was
seen to be sinking beyond her height
and Mr.. Barrow. with his clothing on,
entered the water to go to her assist
ance. When he approached her he.
too, began to sink and the child dis
appeared. but in her struggles seized
her father about the neck, which car
ried him below the water for a mo-
ment. His head, however. reappeared
above the water but imbedded in the
quicksand above his knees, he was
never able to extricate himself and
was drowned standing up with the
top Of his head showing above the
surface Of the pond.
Mrs. Barrow and the smaller chill
'dren who had witnessed the. tragedy
gave the alarm, but it was some time
before there was response. Those
who removed the bodies from the
water say the accident was due to
the preesnce of deep deposit of
|gpisksand in the pond into which the
little girl had sunk almost to her
waist and Mr.. Barrow above his
knees

GLEASON ID HOLD
 B|G TIME FUR ALL
 STATE CANDIDATES

According to word received from Gleason, says the Tombstone Pros pector, the live little copper camp of the Dragons. some interesting things are in store for those candidates and their friends who attend the candi- dates celebration to be held there on the 18th. Besides a big barbecue for which several beeves have been donat- of the county, some of the widest bronchos ever ridden in the state, will be there with the best riders to man them.
 Another feature that is expected to add 10 the amusement to a larger ex- tent than at any other affairs of this Kind will be the wild burro riding, by the ''punchers." These burros have been captured from the range in the vicinity of the Chiricahuas and in most instances have never seen a human being. guaranteeing that they will be wild to say the least. A burro is a hard animal to ride, say the cowboys and some great fun is expected.
 Another feature will be the steer tring event for which a substantial prize will be offered Two wild steers have been caught up for this event and some quick work will be witness cd. other attractions too numerous to give in detail are being planned all of which will be brought out later and when the candidates and voters congregate at Gleason they will be surprised at the line of attractions offered.

THE BOUNDARY CONE
 ABOUT ID BE \ MINE

We've mighty near got one now" said F. w. Dryden yesterday in ans wer to question as to whether or not the Boundary Cone was likely to graduate from prospect into mine according to the Mohave Miner.
 A south crosscut on the 750-foot level has lust broken into the ledge. Assays have not been run as yet, but the ore looks well to Manager Dryden, and he believes that it will pay min ing and milling charges and yield a margin of profit He states that he knows that to be the case with a great deal of the ore that has been opened on the 800. where thus far, it averages better than the 750, but both are good. In fact, he states that it is only a matter of the company having a mill of It's own. which will come at the proper time.
 The new crosscut was started from the drift at point 100 feet west of the station. From there the crosscui was driven 120 feet south and there the other ledge was tapped. The first ledge has been drifted upon both east and west, and crosscut and sampled.
 The shaft does not make the amoun of water that would be expected 1T that locality at that depth. It is al

FISHER WIRES THAT
 HE HAS INTERESTED
 CAPITAL IN UNION

Attorney Robert s. Fisher, who left for Kansas City last week, for the pur- pose of interesting capital in the quick financing of the North Maricopa Gold Mining company, evidently permits no grass to grow under his feet.
 He wired H. C. Wikoff fiscal agent of the company yesterday, that he has already interested big people, that their engineers are satisfied as to the real value of the old Union Mine. which is being resurrected by the North Maricopa people, and expects to leave with his party for Phoenix within the next week. MT Fisher fur ther stated in the telegram, that he had personally known these people for the past twenty years, that they mean business, and are in dead earnest to close the deal at the first possible moment This action will not only mean much to the North Maricopa be the initial shot in the opening up of the Winnifred Mining district. all of which will materially affect and benefit Phoenix.
 Among the enthusiasts who knew this famous mine when 1t was just coming into it's own. and then was closed down. and who are pleased at | the marked activity of the new com pany. are Judge Parker, P. K. Hickey, and John Osborn, and to hear these old timers tell of the great prospects of this mine under new and compe- | tent management, one is almost con
 vinced that the opening of the Winni- l fred district will be of as much or
 more importance than the building oi the Roosevelt dam.
