CONCESS
COS
Grand Canyon Panorama at Panama
Pacific Exposition, One of The
Features of Big Show-
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.
More than two thousand applicat -
ions for concessions, filed by amuse-
ment purveyors in all parts of the
world, have been received by Direc
tor of Concessions Burt of the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition.
Many of the concessions will be
extremely original and striking.
Eight of them will, in the opinion
of Mr. Burt, involve an expenditure
of more than two million dollars.
The concessions will be notable not
only for their great size and their
splendor but also for the fact that
they arc selected with a view to
their educational value. The art of
presenting cycloramas and panoram
as upon an elaborate scale has made
tremendous strides in the past few
years.
Among the more important con
cessions already accepted are: "The
Grand Canyon of the Colorado," a
splendid spectacle to be displayed by

able to make the trip "along the j
canal" every twenty-five minutes) ;.
"The Grand Tianon at Versailles" j
reproducing the famous battles ot
Napoleon. The canvasses for this
concession will be painted in France.
Another concession to be known as
"The Creation," is based on the first
cKpter of the Book of Genesis. An defeat of the Spanish fleet at San

will be installed, and members of
the Pueblo, San Domingo, Navajo,
Zuni and Hopi Indian tribes will
present their dances and customs in
native costume, and display their

noted for their work as silversmiths,
will be seen engaged in this craft.
The Navajos will weave their blank

the San Domingo Indians will give
an exhibition of pottery work. The
illumination of the canyon will re

1893. The historic incidents in the
life of the Navy, such as Perry's

show the assembled battleships of
the navies of the world anchored off

with the White Squadron coming

be a thrill from start to finish in
this production. The spectator will

way which will perhaps make their

if he visited the canal itself. The
concession will be illuminated under
the direction of W. D. A. Ryan, who
has charge of the illumination of the
Panama Canal.
The concession of the "Grand

be of peculiar interest. Napoleon,
his marshalls, officers, soldiers and
horses will be represented in full
uniform with the arms and equip
ment of the period. The "Grand
Trianon" at Versailles is the fam
ous villa erected by Louis XIV for
Madam de Maintenon. All the im
portant campaigns of Napoleon I
will be illustrated by scenes repro
duced from the celebrated pictures
in the grand gallery of battles at
the Versailles art gallery. Many
famous paintings, like Artist Vcrest-
chagin's historic' painting of the
bloody battle of Borodino, will be
reproduced.

WOMAN
IS CALLED By
Mrs Edith Engle Has
Answered the Final
Summons
(From Tuesday's Daily.)
Another beloved pioneer woman
resident, Mrs. Edith Engle, has been
claimed by the Grim Reaper, her
death occurring yesterday after an
illness of four months. She had
been a resident of this comiru nity
for over a quarter of a century, and
during that time had won the admir
ation and affection of a host of ac
quaintances.
Devoted as a mother, kind in her
sympathies and withall a woman of
many virtues her loss will be mourn
ed by a large number of friends and
many relatives residing here and
elsewhere. Her husband, Joseph
Engle, preceded her hence a few
years ago. Neuphritis was the fatal
affliction.
The deceased leaves two sons,
residing in this city, Eugene and
Joseph Engle. Three daughters sur
vive, Mrs. Tonj- Peters, of this
city, Mrs. E. F. Thorner, of San
Antonio, Texas, and Mrs. Mabel
Asche, of Globe, the latter being
summoned a few days ago and was
here when the sad summons rime.
The body is at Ruffner's. The fun
eral will be announced later.
JIMMY CURRAN'S
PROBABLE FATE
(From Thursday's Dally)
Three years ago Jimmy Curran, a
miner who' had been about Prescott
for several years, mysteriously dis
appeared and it was not until three
months later that an inquiry con
cerning him was made. It would
probably not have been made at all
but for the fact that he had left a
sum of money on deposit in a Pres
cott bank. It was suspected that
he had met with foul play or that
he had died in the mountains. But
notwithstanding a diligent search no
trace of him was ever found.
Curran was last seen at Mayer.
The last person with whom he talk
ed was a freighter witli whom he
arranged to do some hauling. He
said that he was going into the
Black Canyon country where he had
some mining claims which he was
going to develop. He said that he
would return to Mayer in about ten
da3's.
The claims of Curran were locat
ed across the canyon. After he had
made his location, William Faltin
who was convicted last week of the
murder of Carl Peterson located
placer claims in the Canyon across
from the claims of Curran.
So far as known, no suspicion of
any connection with the disappear
ance of Curran ever attached to
Faltin, nor was he ever thought of
in connection when a man who was
in that part of the country at that
time remembered that Faltin was
there. That recollection was given
a stimulus when the Yavapai man
heard the story of the murder of
Peterson.
There arc hundreds of prospect
holes of varying depths in that vi
cinity and it is now suspected that
the bones of Curran lie in the bot
tom of one of them.
ENGINES HAVE
GLITTERING LIGHTS
In accordance with the referen
dum adopted at the recent election
requiring railroads throughout the
state to equip their locomotives with
electric headlights, that duty is be
ing performed at present by the S
F. P. & P. in this city. Under the
law each engine must generate 1,500
candlepower light. The last batch
of these utilities arrived yesterday
in the city, consisting of twelve dy
namos, and-in about two weeks all
of the twenty-six engines used on
this road will be legally equipped.
Each headlight will have a reflector
attachment capable of generating 5,-
000 candlepower. The expense in
curred in complying with the new
law will reach to over $3,000 on this
line alone.
RYAN GIVES BOND.
CHICAGO. Feb. 1. A $70,000

of the Iron Workers, was approved

was recently sentenced to seven

ID EXCITEMENT
IS CAUSED W
SESSION
Legislature Getting To
Be an Old Story
At Phoenix
PHOENIX, Feb. 3. There was
not the usual crowd and excitement
at the capitol this morning when
the third session of the first state
legislature was convened although
the galleries were fairly well filled.
It was all too apparently a cut-and
dried affair and Phoenix and her
citizens are getting used to legisla
tures.
Then too there was lacking the
usual influx of outside Phoenix men
of prominence who in previous years
have found it convenient to be on
hand when legislatures met. The
members made calls at nearly all of
the state offices, which to the every
day visitor it could be seen, were all
"fixed up" evidently for the purpose
of making a good impression on the
lawmakers. About ten o'clock the
first steps in the program of begin
ning the session were under way.
-Tonight about the only specially
interested ones in the comings and
goings of the solons are the numer
ous attaches who seek enlightenment
from all imaginable quarters as to
just what part if any they will be
called to play in the game of law
making for the commonwealth of
Arizona.
SUGGESTS FREE
COPIES OF ALL NEW LAWS
(Prom Sunday's Daily.)
Secretary of State Sidney P. Os-
born has rendered his annual report
of the transactions of his office to
Governor Hunt. One feature of it
is that there are certain rccommen
dations in the report that will if put
into practice cut down the revenue
of the state.
The first legislature passed certain
laws regarding the sale of certified
copies of the acts of the legislature.
Last year this section of the work
of the office alone yielded several
thousands of dollars to the state
treasury. For a certified copy the
secretary of state is authorized to
charge twenty cents per folio. The
session laws of the state arc not
published until at least sixty days
following the adjournment of the
legislature. In the meantime there
is a demand for accurate copies of
certain laws, which must be paid
for at the twenty cent per folio rate.
In one case last year one firm had
to paj- $60 and over for a copy of a
certain law. It is the opinion of the
secretary that the state should print
many of the laws as soon as they
are passed in the shape of pamphlets
and let them be gotten by interested
parties for the askjiig. This would
decrease the revenue in the office on
the same basis as that of last year,
$2000, while the increase in expend
iture would come from the printing
of the bills.
SUPPLANT HORSE WITH
AUTO ON MAIL RUN
(From Sunday's Daily.)
"The passing of the horse" was
never more aptly illustrated than by
the statement made yesterday that
henceforth the auto will hold sway
between Dewey and Camp Verde,
the Davis Brothers of Kingman, in
troducing these vehicles on the mail
run and also for passenger service.
