The issue is already oversubscribed and new orcKrs are pouring in. The names of the board of directors and officers have not yet been announced. Yuma people are enthusiastic about the prospects of the coming -river metropolis. They say at least two hundred thousand acres imme diately contingent will be open to cultivation as soon as the water pro ject is complete. This is without a doubt the richest land that lies out of doors and ten acres will easily sup port a family. The resulting immi gration to the country about Yuma will of course mean a considerable increase of population to that city and higher real estate values throughout the city. Tucson Post. The Old Dominion made several y remarkable smelter runs during the niast week, breaking all records one iiy with an output of 80 tons of blis ter copper. The production of cop per for the month will probably ex ceed 3,500,000 pounds. Very little is being accomplished underground this week, as the big hoist is undergoing repairs. A day or two longer will ee the repairs finished and opera tions resumed on a larger scale. The supply of ore in the bins and from outside sources is sufficient to keep all the furnaces running. Reports from the Continental mine are higly satisfactory. Shipments of ore ag gregate about 10C0 tons per month. Globe Belt. ' Judging from the ore and the re J ports being brought into Prescott from the Baltimore-Arizona com pany's Rainbow group of mines on Turkey creek, those properties com prise one of those immense and un broken bodies of low grade ore so much sought after by heavy invest ors. Our informant states that 300 feet on either side of a shaft in the center of a claim extends a capping of copper gossan, this same copper gossan capping extending 2,000 feet north and south. At a depth of fifteen feet, this shaft cut through this gossan capping into a solid body of sulphide ore, carrying copper and gold. The shaft is now down eighty live feet, and every pound taken from below the capping is sulpl.ide ore. The railroad is halt a mile dis- tant, down .grade, and by tramway CAA C 1 1 I .

The total assessment valuation of all property in Yavapai county this year will be about $7,050,000, or about three-quarters of a million dollars more than the assessment of the previous year. As usual, the valua tion on the United Verde properties goes largely to swell the assessment roll. The assessment of that com pany's holdings comprise the follow ing items: United Verde mines, $1,181,385; U. V. & P. Ry., $136,500; Equator mine, $10,740; W. A. Clark, $7,895; T. F. Miller & Co., $81,275 making a total of $1,417,795. When it is considered that all the property on which these values are placed have their sole foundation and exist ence on the output of a group of mines, some idea may be formed of the possibilities of the mining indus try in Yayapai county. The in creased assessment, not only in this county, but in other portions of the territory, will without doubt give needed relief in the matter of some reduction in both the territorial and the county rate.

Road Could Not Hide Behind Failure to Publish Schedule. The Chicago, ' Burlington and Quincy railway company was found guilty at Kansas city by a jury in the United States district court on four counts of granting concession on packing house shipments for export to the Armour Packing company, Swift company, Cuday com pany and the Nelson Morris Packing Company. The conviction carries With it a fine of from $lj000 to $30,000 On each count, Judge Smith McPer-. son) presiding judge, deferred sent ience until June 22. .- -All four counts are practically the same. The case of Armour Packing company on which instructions were read to the jury, charged specifically that the Burlington, on August 17, 1905, accepted a shipment of oleo oil from Kansas City to Liverpool at a rate that included a rate of 23 cents a "hundred pounds from the Mississippi river to New York where as the regular tariff at the time was 35 cents. To simplify the case, A. S. Van Valkenbergh district attorney for the government, and Judge O. M. Spencer, of St. Joseph, representing the defendant, signd an agreement of facts, which was in effect that the Burlington did contract with the packers to carry their product at 23 cents for the distance named, at the rate of 49 cents for the whole dis tance from Kansas City to Liverpool. But half a dozen witnesses were examined, their testimony being largely technical and pertained to tariffs in existence at the time covered in the indictment. Judge McPherson, instructing the jury, said that the Burlington rail road had no right to make a contract for a period longer than the estab lished rate of 2 cents should be in force. To have carried shipments for 2 cents after August 17, 1906, when the tariff was raised to 35 cents would be considered a concession. The failure of the Burlington to file the schedule of 23 cents was im material. The jury retired at 5 o'clock and returned with their verdict at 5:35. Southwestern Makes Cut in Fares on Its Arizona Lines. V. R. Stiles, general passenger agent of the El Paso & Southwestern, made the important announcement of a reduction in the passenger rates from 5 cents to 4 cents per mile on the western division of the road. The actionjaf theSouthwestern is in concurrence with that of the South ern Pacific and Santa Fe to reduce fares in Ne .Mexico and Arizona, the conclusion to make the reduction having been arrived at by the officials of these systems at a meet ing not long ago. This reduction is one of the most important changes in railroad rates that has been made in the southwest for many years. The change in the rate will become effective July 1st, and other roads will be advised to change their tables accordingly. The Deming and Tombstone branches are the only ones of the Southwestern which are not affected by the change and the present rate ot 5 cents will continue to be opera tive on those branches. General passenger agent Stiles stated also that the rate on mileage books would likewise undergo no change, and books of 1000 miles passage will continue to be sold at the rate of 3 cents per mile. Throughout the territories of Arizona and New Mexico the pas senger rate on the main lines of the railroad will, after July 1, be 4 cents per mile instead of 5 as heretofore. A Nice Income. Last week the county received drafts from the various banks of the county to the amount of $00.97 for interest on county funds on deposit during the month of May. Since January 15 the banks have been pay ing 1 per cent, interest on their daily balances of county money on deposit and the receipts from that source have been as follows: Feb ruary $52.82, March $99.14, April $46.07', May $60.97. The income to the county will amount to nearly $1,000 a year, which is a very ac ceptable sum, while the 1 per cent, interest is certainly as. low as the banks could expect. Bulletin.

The bone and sinew of the republi can party were represented by the gathering that filled Musical Fund Hall last week at the opening of the bienial convention of the national league of the republican clubs at Philadelphia the 18th instant. De spite the fact that this is an off year politically the attendance was the largest in the league's history and likewise remarkable for the number of prominent republicans present. An explanation of the unusually lafge and representative attendance is found in the fact that the conven tion this year partakes of the nature of a jubilee celebration of the 50th anniversary of the republican party. The convention which placed the first' republican presidential ticket in the field met just fifty years ago in the same hall where the present gathering was held. It was a few minutes after 10 a. Hi. when the national . president, J. Hatnpton Moore, of Philadelphia) called the gathering to order. After brief welcomes and responses, Hon. Sid B. Redding, of Arkansas, vice president of the league, read the call for the gathering and various para graphs of which were loudly ap plauded. In part it said: "Both the time and place of hold ing this convention should appeal to the sentiment of republicans in á nation grown rich and prosperous under republican rule, and tend to renew the common faith of republi cans in the-principles underlying the great party to which they have pledged tneir allegiance. "The first national convention of the republican party was held in Musical Fund Hall, . Philadelphia, June 17, 18 and 19, 1856. It fas the national beginning of that tre mendous movement destined to revo lutionize the politics of the country. Men are living who attended its stirring sessions, and hundreds of those who voted for. the candidates then selected are prepared to join in the golden jubilee celebration. "All the forces then contending for freedom and progress united upon John C. Freemont, of California, and William L. Dayton, ot New Jersey, as the candidates for president and vice-president respectively. The name of Abraham Lincoln was modestly proposed as a candidate for vice-president and he was balloted for. "It was the amalgamation of forces against the slave owning power, which subsequently followed Lincoln in the grim struggle for liberty and union. The convention foretold the bloody years of 1861 and 1865, where in the chivaW of a nation was dedi cated to the happiness of its people, rand opened the way for their marvel ous progress in the commercial and industrial activities of the world. "The intervening span of half a century has been glorious to men and measures. First, the great path finder, Fremont, raised aloft the standard of leadership, then the martyr, Lincoln, the savior of his country; Grant, the irresistible silent man; Hayes, the Christian soldier and lawyer; Blaine, the plumed knight of a republic; Harrison, the soldier, statesman and lawyer; the beloved and lamented McKinley; and, at the end of the golden crescent, inaugurating an era of world-wide influence for the peace of nations Roosevelt the foremost American of his time. A wealth of material for the student republican. An inspira tion for the youth of the land." In the old hall in Philadelphia where the best political minds of a troubled country framed a national declaration of undying party princi ples; where the champions of liberty and union assembled; where the friends of Fremont, of Lincoln, of Chase, of ' Seward, of Lovejoy, of Giddings, of McLean, of Summer, of Vermont and a host of the country's ablest statesmen, met to cement and strengthen the scattered efforts of the nation's patriots, it is the proud privilege of Pennsylvania republi cans to welcome their associates of the National Republican League.

There are many people who have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with splendid results, but who are unknown be cause they have hesitated about triving a testimonial of their experi ence for publication.

FORMER MORENCI MAN ACCUSED OF A MURDER. Held in Connection With a Woman Whose Husband Met a Mysterious Death. E. J. Stackpole, formerly of Mo renci, Arizona, is under arrest in Los Angeles in connection with the mur der it that city of Joel Scheck, a laundry wotker, whose wife has con fessed that she and Stackpole com mitted the deed. Scheck was found dead in bed, his wife's screams attracting neighbors and officers, and she declared that two bürg"lárs had entered the house and shot her husband: They lived in two rooms in a small house in the rear of a larger one and the place was so squalid that the police scouted the burglary theory and declared it was murder. Stackpole, it was charged, had been a frequent, visitor to the house, and had acted suspiciously when the husband was around, and on this and the further evidence that a light was seen in his room, in a boarding house a few blocks away, a few minutes after the crime, the police arrested Stackpole and the widow. They then found a bloody handkerchief in the house which was, identified as Stackpole's. The woman then confessed that she and Stackpdle had planned and executed the murder, and that she was under some sort of influence wielded by Stackpole. Both are held without bond. In giving the details of the case the Los Ange'es Examiner says: Mrs. Scheck is a human anomaly. She grieves for the man to whose death she so deliberately consented. She appears to count her own fate as of little moment and cries, "Joel, I love you, I loved you, Joel. I was hypnotized. My God, how could I have done it?" She is a peculiarly undemonstrative woman and yet once since she has been in jail, she lifted her clenched hands and shrieked, "Brute, devil, flehd, you will hang for this." She was addressing herself to an imagin ary Stackpole. But she did not denounce him when she and Stackpole met in the same room. That was when they were identified. Stackpole saw Mrs. Scheck across the room, and, holding out his hands toward her, he called with intense feeling in his voice, "Aurellia, oh, Aurellia!" The young woman did not turn, but a tremor went over her body, and a peculiar expression seized her face. It was as though a-spelL-.of irresisti ble power had passed from Stack pole's hands and voices and eyes through Jier body. Sh-says she loathes him and in the same breath confesses that were they placed together he could control her and lure her into the whirlpool of an other infatuation. Packers Fined, Brokers Go to Pen. In the United States district court at Kansas City Judge McPherson passed sentence upon the defendants recently convicted of making con cessions and accepting and conspir ing to accept rebates on shipments. Fines of $15.000 each were assessed against Swift & Coinpanyr Cudahy, Armour and Nelson Morris packing companies, and the Chicago, Burl ington & Quincy railroad. George L. Thomas, a New York freight broker, was fined $6000 and sentenced to four months in the peni tentiary. L. B. Taggart, Thomas' clerk, was fined $4000 and sentenced to three months it the penitentiary. Appeals were filed, and a stay of execution in each case was granted until June 29. Another big mining deal involving the transfer of property in the Burro Mountains, was consummated in this city last week and will mean the en trance of another large company into the Burro Mountain district. The property is the Monarch group of five claims lying near White Sig nal, and the owner until last week was Theo. W. Carter. The new owners are Los Angeles people, headed by Harry Lee Martin, a prominent financier of that city. Mr. Martin and his mining expert, Mr Kislingbury, in company with Col. P. R Smith, visited the property the first of the week, and upon the report of Mr. Kislingbury, the deal was put through. The purchased price is $50,000, with a good substan tial payment down. Enterprise. The Very Best Remedy for Bowel Trouble. Mr. M. F. Borroughs, an old and well-known resident of Bluffton, Ind., savs: "I regard Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as the very best remedy lor bowel trouble. I make this statement after having used the remedy in my family for several years. I am never without it." This remedy is almost sure to be needed before the summer is over. Why not buy it now and be prepared for such an emergency?

There are several things doing in railroad surveying in Sonora which will probably interest Douglas and the mineral country to the south of Tucson. ' Last week there was a large El j Paso & Southwestern surveying party 1 taken across the line and sent to ' Nacozari. This party Consisted of twelve men and a carload of wagons, camp equippage and supplies, and a number of teams. Mr. Campbell, chief engineer of the Southwestern, accompanied the suryeying party to Doug-las and went with it to Naco zari. Nothing definite could be learned as to the work td be done by this party but it is preiümedj of codi'se( that it goes to begin the survey of the extension of the Nacozari line from its present terminus at Naco zari. From a party who is in a position to obtain information it is learned that one of the- Southern Pacific sur veying parties, which has been sur veying the proposed Southern Pa cific line down the Yaqui river, has returned to Nacozari, and is now sur veying a preliminary line from that point south to Cumpas. This gentle man gave it as his opinion that the Southern Pacific and the Nacozari were now making for the same route through the canyon south of Naco zari to Cumpas, and some fast work is expected in that vicinitj', with the prospects of disputing the ground, similar to- the trouble in the Gila canyon below San Carlos, between the'Southern Pacific and Santa Fe. Tucson Post. Heinze Coming to Arizona. Since the settlement of the Mon tana copper war' many rumors have circulated throughout the south n est to the effect that both Heinze and the Amalgamated Copper company were looking up mining propert' in Arizona. The rumor, so far as Heinze is concerned, is now known to be true. Within the next few weeks experts representing the Heinze in terests will examine properties in the Ash Fork district in northwest ern Arizona. Patrick O'Neil) who recently re signed the position of foreman at the Oro Blanco mine, left Nogales last week for Los Angles, where he met Mr. W. W. Wishon, representa tive of the Heinze interests. Mr. O'Neil, as well as Mr. Wishon, was connected with tbe Heinze mines in Montana for many 3-ears. Oasis. D. D.
