MIXING SENSATION
IS CREATED IN THE
STATE OF ARIZONA
BOSTON.—The state of Arizona
can boast of the latest sensation in
the copper mining field. A property
which a few months ago was an in'
different prospect Is now selling in
the stock market for over $8,000.
000.
A record which has rarely been
approached in the history of mining,
and never before in Arizona, was
made in March when from the ship
ment of 6,000 tons of ore taken out
in exploratory work, the United
Verde Extension Company produced
2,000,000 pounds of copper at a
profit of $450,000.
The sensational ore development
is on the 1400-foot level. On the
levels above, the showing was dis
tinctly encouraging. There are no
indications at the surface pointing
to values underneath. On the 1400
foot level, however, the company en.
countered bonanza ore. It has a
drift in the ore 300 feet long, and in
one crosscut has demonstrated a
width of at least 230 feet of ore
neither wall of the ore body has yet
been reached. The vein is said to
bo solid copper glance carrying 30
per cent copper. We understand one
75-foot upraise has been made in 20
per cent ore.
No one is wise enough to predict
the height, depth or width of this
remarkable ore body. It is a matter
of the future. One Important ques
tion to be determined, however, is
whether or not the vein is a continu.
ation of any vein which apexes in
Senator Clark’s United Verde prop
erty, which immediately adjoins
Senator Clark has a way of claiming
all he thinks belongs to him, and if
he can set up a claim that the Ex
tension Company’s vein apexeB on
his property, there are possibilities
of a pretty legal controversy.

OFFER TO MURDER
J. P. MORGAN MADE
B\ GERMAN PI-OTTER
NEW YORK.—An alleged plot to
kill J. Pierpont Morgan was revealed
today when Harry L. Newton was
arraigned in Tombs court on a
charge of “intent to commit crime.”
The specific allegation is that he of
fered to take the life of the finan
cier li paid? 10,000 by German spies.
Affidavits were filed by Felix Gal
ley, a contractor, and by Detective
Henry Semfs, of tho bomb and arson
squad.
Galley said in his affidavit that he
met Newton about ten days ago. He
alleged that Newtbn made a verbal
offer to him to murder Mr. Morgan
for $10,000. New*on declared he
would demand no money until after
the crime had been committed, it is
charged.
He offered to show his loyalty to
the Gorman cause in any way de
manded, and agreed to carry out any
orders tending to show he had nerve
enough to carry the plan to a suc
cessful conclusion, the affidavit
charges.
According to a statement made by
Captain Barnitz, in charge of the
bomb and arson squad, Galley went
to police headquarters and made the
fact known that the offer was al
leged to have been made to him by
Newton. Galley told the police he
promised he would place him in close
touch with German authorities who
would aid him in carrying out the
scheme.
Detective Semfs was assigned to
the case. He posed as the German
official. Semf, in his affidavit, said
that he and Galley went to the
branch of the Phoenix and Chatham
Bank at the Bowery and Gr.and
street, where they met Newton.
Semfs said he was introduced as the
German agent.
Newton, it is alleged, then went
over his plans for killing the finan
cier. He (Newton) said he could
commit tne crime in either one of
two ways, it is alleged. The first
was to gain access to Mr. Morgan’s
office and there shoot him, it is
charged.
The second and best, according to
Newtons alleged plan, would be to
hire an automobile. Ho said he
would follow Mr. Morgan’s automo
bild when it took him to his home
in Glencove, L. I., tho affidavit
charges.
Newton s plan, said the affidavit,
was to shoot ahead of the Morgan
machine while on a country road
and then ‘‘stall’' the engine of his
own machine. He is alleged to have
said this would effectually stop the
Morgan machine and it would be an
easy matter for him to shoot Mr.
Morgan or throw a bomb into the
machine.
Further explaining the alleged
plan to kill Mr. Morgan in hiB oiiice,
Newton, it is charged, showed Galley
and Detective Semfs a badge upon
which was inscribed “In His Maj
esty's Service.” This had been given
to him while he was employed in a
munitions plant in Canada.
Newton said, it is charged, that he
would show the badge to the guard
on duty at Morgan’s offices and
could enter the place and accom
plish what he desired.

MIXING ENGINEER
IS SOME DREAMER
The following story, from Syra
cuse, recently appeared in the Se
attle Times, in which a Juneau min
ing engineer demonstrates that when
it comes to dreaming he Is some ex
pert, or else as a writer of fairy
tales he has most of the old-ttmhrs
in the business backed up against
the ropes and howling for mercy.
A dream in which she appeared to
him and saved him from death in
the wilds of Alaska was the intro
duction Donald Mack, of Juneau,
Alaska, a wealthy mining engineer,
gave himself #ln a letter to Miss
Ethel Williams, a prominent Syra
cuse University society girl.
Miss Williams, who resides with
her father and sister, received a
picture of a dog team and the fol
lowing words penned in a masculine
hand:
"If you will write to this address
1 will tell you why i have sent you
this card."
She did. He did.
Miss Williams received the follow,
ing story from the man in the north,
if*er the ice had sufficiently broken
up to permit the transportation of
mails:
‘‘I am a mining engineer, and my
work has taken me far into the in
:orior of the country. Ordinarily I
dnish my work and reach the settle
ments long before the lakes and
rivers close and am able to make
the trip by boat and canoe. Last
fall I delayed too long and was
obliged to come out by sled, a dis
tance of 700 miles.
"Shortly before I reached Lake
Tagish I fell in with three Indians
ahd a Frenchman on the trail. We
started to cross the lake, stopping
midway on a small island, to rest
and sleep. While I slept I dreamed.
I saw a young girl dressed in light
summer clothes standing in the deep
snow around me.
"It was so real to me that I asked
her who she was and why she was
there. She told me her name was
Ethel Williams and her tome was in
Syracuse, New York. She said she
knew it was my intention to keep on
the direct route over the lake, but
that disaster lay in that direction,
as there was open water covered by
drifting snow. To be safe I should
go about twenty-five miles up the
river, whore I would find safe cross
ing.
"At this point 1 was awakened by
the howling ot dogs and the shouts
of the Indians. It was 3 o’clock in
the morning. They were making
ready to go. I told them of my
dream, and they laughed at me. But
I did not go with them.
"I followed the instructions of the
dream girl, and when I reached Ju
neau the Indians and the French
man had not been seen. I headed a
searching party down the lake to the
point where they should have
reached the mainland. We found
the canoes and their sleeping bags
and other camp outfit floating in the
open water.
"So, Miss Williams, I consider
that you have saved my life, and
mailed the card to you from Ju
neau."
