MINING MAGNATE HERE:
VISITS RUTH AND M'G|lL

Colonel d. c. Jackling. one of the
most prominent figures in the cop
per mining world and heavily inter-
ested in this district, was visitor
here yesterday on one OF his regular
tours of inspection.
He arrived In his private car by
special train early yesterday morn
ing and left at $50 last night, bound
for Salt Lake City. He was accom-
panied on his inspection trip TO the
mines by General Manager c. b.
Lakenan of the Nevada Consolidated
Copper Company and General Mana
ger G.. l.. Hickey of the Nevada
Northern railway.
The announcement made a few Gays
ago that Colonel Jackling would visit
the district was looked upon by many
with significance, but it was later
learned that his trip here was only
in accordance with his policy of pay
ing visits to the various properties in
which he is interested in order that
he may keep before his eyes as we'll
as in his mind the general conditions.
So far as can be learned Colonel
Jackling issued no definite instruc-
tions and 1t is generally understood
that no decisive action as to the OPEN
ing of the large properties will be
taken until the matter of the threat
ened coal strike is settled
The hope is entertained that large
mining properties which have been
closed down for many months will
open in the near future, but conserya-
tive business men point to the fact
that with the question of a coal strike
being in the unsettled condition which
1t is today and The further fact that
the date for the showdown" has
been announced for April /, it is
only reasnable TO assume that the
managers of these properties will
await decision of the important
question rather than go ahead now
and perhaps be forced to close again
within a short period by reason of
inability to procure fuel with which
to operate the plants.
The matter of restoration of daily
train service is likewise in allegiance
because that naturally depends upon
the opening of the mines and smelter.
From stories told in the ordinary
course and conversations as heard
between men employed at the mires
and smelter the general feeling seems
10 slowly but steadily improve. 1t is
pointed out that preparations are be-
ing made to open the mill. and this
Is taken as an indication that the
date for opening. while not definitely
fixed at this time, will not be long
delayed
General Manager Hickey accom-
panied Colonel Jackling on the trip
to Salt Lake last night and will make
short stay at the Utah capital at
tending to official business

GOTH ANNIVERSARY
OF BIGGEST FLOOD
Connecticut River Caused Great Damage
i'm April, 1852 - Island Reduced
from % TO Eight Acres.

This week is the Goth anniversary of
the highest water ever recorded in the
Connecticut river previous to the con-
struction of the Vernon dam, the freshet

depth of five feet more than any previous
known depth, although no one knows
what may have happened in the centuries
past The damage between Bellows Falls
and Brattlcboro, including those towns.
exceeded $4,000, the greater part of
which occurred ON April 10, which was
GO years ago today.
On April Is (Friday), after the
ground had become saturated by the
melting SHOWS, thermometers registered
a degrees and the unusual volume of
snow rapidly disappeared and caused a
flood. The greatest damage occurred late
the following day, but the river did not
reach its greatest height until the SECOND
day, Sunday.

the island at Brattleboro Friday night

down across the island, cutting a channel
the entire length of the island. The chan
mel was eight to l. rods wide and from
10 to y feet deeI. The island was 22
acres in extent and was reduced to eight
acres.

NO PARTICULAR
CHANGE AT RETREAT
Conditions Not Essentially Different
from Heretofore, Governor Hart
ness Tells The RefOrmer

An editorial paragraph in the BurIing-
ton Free Press yesterday said: We are
told that a representative of the Hartness
administration made an unexpected visit
to the Brattleboro Retreat the other day,
and found things that needed explaining.
Publicity in all state affairs is one of the
peoples right and counts stronger than
government. Lets have the facts
Gov. James Hartness was reached by
telephone at Springfield this morning and
told The Reformer that conditions ut the
Retreat were not essentially different
from what they have been. His conver-
sation indicated that the editorial para
graph gave an erroneous impression and
that there had been no particular change
in the situation at the institution.

Miles of Rain

Rainfall is usually recorded in inches
and fractions of an inch. One expert.
however, declares that weather bulletins
rould be more graphic if the amount of
rainfall We're expressed in miles and
tons. Thus, instead of having the off
cial statement of the rainfall in. one
tate for 4 certain wear read. say. forty
inches, this expert would change it to
read .. forty and nine -tenths cubic
miles. He has calculated that the
rainfall in one year throughout the
United States amounted to 1864 cubic
miles Of water, and that the annual
rainfall weighs about 6,00d,0O0 000,0
tons. Only n small part of that vast
amount reaches the SEA through rivers
and streams: most of it is evaporated
from the laRd-Washington Star

business was the calling of the docket.
The most important case set for trial
at this term was continued on account of

States Attorney Whitney
Thinks it Would Not
Solve Anything
TWO BULLETS STILL
UNACCOUNTED FOR
Evidence Points Overwhelmingly to Sui
eide, States Attorney Says, Comment
ing on Shooting of POliceman-Fu-
neral to BE Private.

Since the suicide of Policeman Ellis G.
WOrden in the police headquarters early
yesterday morning there has been more
or less discussion over the advisability of
an autopsy and an inquest. and States
Attorney Harold f. Whitney and Chair
man +. w. Gibson Of the village commits
sioners talked over the situation yester-
day afternoon. but this morning the
states attorney said he did not consider
either an autopsy or inquest necessary.
He said the indications overwhelmingly
supported the suicide theory. that an
autopsy could show nothing more than
whether there were more than one bullet
in the wound in the officers head and the
course the bullet took, and that there
were no witnesses to be. summoned for an
inquest
What became of the two bullets aside
from the two already accounted for is still
a mystery which States Attorney Whit
ney thinks would not be cleared up by an
autopsy and inquest. There were four
empty shells in Policeman Worden's re
volver, and William Campbell, n prisoner
in the police station, says he heard four
or five shots. One bullet went into the
officers head and another was fired
through a mirror on the wall, at an up
ward angle.
As no marks were left by the other
bullets the states attorneys only theory
is that the officer, in a highly nervous
state that he was known to be- might have
fired twice out of the window i'll the ante
room where the tragedy occurred. 1t has
been suggested that the officer might have
seen his reflection in the mirror and fired
at it, as it is difficult to see, from the
position in which the body lay. how a
bullet aimed at the officers head could
have hit the mirror
States Attorney Whitney scouts the
suggestion that somebody else might have
entered the police station and exchanged
shots with the officer and disappeared
with bullets in his body. and it is prob
able that just what happened will remain
a mystery forever
The funeral of Policeman Worden will
be held in Bond x Sons chapel ut 3
O'Clock tomorrow and will be private
