'IT is apparent that something must be
done tut provide water for the Indians. In
order to demonstrate our ability to govern
new peoples we must show a better record
for those r.ow in our care." Prof. F. H.
Lowell, in a lecture in Washington, Bco.
i7,lW.
L'hudibtiult the first work in irrigation
which the government should undertake is
tbe construction of a dam on the Gila River
at San Carlos, In Arizona, because this im
provement would not only bring under cul
tivation a large area of arid land for the
i.se of white settlers, but would also relieve
the urgent needs of thousands of friendly
Indians, w ho are now in a starving condi
tion because the water upon which they
have been dependent for centuries has been
diverted by white settlers above them.
This improvement would be not only a strik
ing object lesson of the advantnge of irriga
tion en a large scale, but also an act of
mercy and justice. Los Angelos Times
Editorial, Feb. 12, 1901.
The report of the removal of Gover
nor Murphy and Chief Justice Street
vras premature. They will serve out
their terms, after which Colonel Brodie
will probably be. Governor arid Mr.
Jamiesoo chief justice. ,
Statehood is assured. "Both cen
tral committees have held meetings in
my office," was the cheering news
that vras sent from Florence, where
Tom Weedin met with Bill Beard's
proxy and appointed himself and Bill
as delegates to the statehood conven
tion. .Mrcii has been said and written
about President Roosevelt appointing
a democrat to a Federal judgeship in
Alabama; but it cow is learned that
the creature was a democrat only in
nam. Ho voted for McKinley and
Roosevelt, and Teddy was. but paying
a political debt.
A. J. Bradley, a Phoenix under
taker, lost a fee of $265 for embalming
a Portland, Or., brewer, who came to
Arizona to die. The widow man
dsmused the" express company and
compelled it to give up the body. This
is another of our infant industries that
needs protection.
Col. S. M. McCowas, superintendent
of the Phoenix Indian school, recently
paid a visit to the San Carlos Apache
Indian agency, and sums up as a result
of his observations the following:
"That army officers are not marvellous
ly successful as Indian agents is proven
by the condition of tbe San Carlos
agency," showing "a monument of
incompetency, or worse." The Tribune
fully confirms this after many years of
careful observation .
All the big mines of Tombstone are
united under the name of the Tomb
stone Consolidated Mining Company,
Limited, with Mr. Frank M. Murphy
as president and Mr. E. B. Gage as
general manager. Tbe four-compartment
shaft has nearly reached water
level and the big pumps are on the
ground. Arrangements have been
made for a railroad from Fairbank,
and reduction works will be at tbe
mines. Tbe Tribune predicts that
Tombstone will be the most important
mining camp in the territory within
three years.
The efforts of Crowninshield and
other Sampson flunkies of the naval
ring to prove that Admiral Schley was
frightened at tbe battle of Santiago
have ended in dismal failure. The
tory of two soldiers under fire for the
first time is applicable in this case.
Said one to the other, "why are you so
pale, are you scared?" "You bet 1
am," was thereply, "if you were half
at badly scared as I am you'd run like
bell!" It is only necessary to remark
that Schley was there and Sampson
wasn't, and even if Schley was scared,
Cervera didn't know it.
The manifold advantages of state
hood have been for years a subject of
much concern with the Tribuke, and no
one could be more glad to note the un
animous sentiment among our people in
favor of Arizona assuming the dignity
of a State. While this is so, it is to be
regretted that the three-up democratic
'politicians of Florence, who, by grace
of the appointive power, seem to be in
control for the time being, could not
be broad enough to go outside of their
little clique in naming delegates
to the statehood convention which
assembles iu Phoenix to-day. At
sih'Ii a tme me.V bury their personal
unituosilies.
It can be said to the credit of the big
railroad magnates that tliey all favor a
natiooal system of irrigation, and tat
j they have some influence do one can
'deny. While iu Salt I, the the otber
j liay lieorge J Gould gave it as liis
opinion that wnul is uiosl urgently
needed, not only in Dtuh but through
out the arid States of the West, is the
estab isbraent cf immense reservoirs
for storing water to be used in reclaim
ing great areas in the valleys and
deserts. This, he said, would solve
the question of irrigation, and to ac
complish this end al! the arid Stales
should work together.
Thk Mining Reporter mentions a
matter of muoh importance to prospect
ors when it say:
Assessment work must be performed
on an . unpatented claim. It is no ex
cuse for the owner to say that he paid some
one else to do the work and that the latter
failed so to do, even although he made an
affidavit that the assessment work had been
done. The claim is subject to relooatiou and
the new locator cannot be deprived of his
possessory right acquired through valid
location and the negligence of the former
owner. 1 he latter s sole remedy is against
the dishonest employee. As a rule, the man
employed to do assessment work has no re
sources, so that practioally speaking the de
frauded employer has no remedy.
Czoi.oosz, the assassin, will be elec
trocuted at 7 a. m. Tuesday, Octo
ber 20, at Auburn prison.
THEY "TOUCHED" THE COLONEL.
Capt. Colbert Says Roosevelt's Boys
Could Always Borrow His Honey'
and Call Him "Teddy."
Kansas Cut, Oct. 20. Capt. W. C.
Colbert, a deputy sheriff in tbe Chicka-
" Nation and a rough rider with Col
Roosevelt, is here visiting a clergyman
relative. Three years agohe was lying
on the field of San Juan Hill, with
four bullets holes through his body,
one of them through his left lung.
The surgeons looked at him when he
was brought in and passed on. They
said atteution to him would be merely
taking their time from someone whom
they might save; that hist case was
hopeless.
"But I did live, didn't I?" said the
ex-captain last night, and tbe big six
foot man laughed as ha told how it all
happened. "You bet I think a whole
lot of Roosevelt," aaid be. "The
doctors had done nothing at all for me
when ho came along and asked me
what I was doing there. I suggested
that be p ill down tbe sheet and see.
He did ao, and five minutes later you
ought to have heard the picturesque
language with which be addressed
those surgeons. They visited me
twice a day after that."
Colbert laughs when he speaks about
the army discipline that existed in
Roosevelt's regiment. "I guess there
wasn't much," said be. "Tbe men had
come in to fight and it was hard to
make them take kindly to anything
else. Many is the time I have seen tho
enlisted men come into the colonel's
tent and tell 'Teddy,' as they called
him, that they were going uptown and
ask to borrow some money, and they
always got it, too."
Discuss a New Railroad Project.
From the Phoenix Gazette.
Messrs. George Marslon, H. P. Wood
and 8. W. Ferguson, of the San Diego
chamber of commerce, were informally
the guests of tbe local board of trade
last night. The gentlemen are here
for the purpose of lookingover Arizona
and incidentally feel the pulse of the
people regarding the extending of the
San Diego and Yuma railroad to Phoe
nix. No proposition was made by the
visitors, but the development of Ariz
ona was discussed. .
. Tbe visitors regard the proposed road
from Phoenix to Benson as a certainty.
Already tbe Phelps-Dodge company has
a road from Benson to Bisoee and then
to El Paso, which will connect with the
Rock Island. When the road from San
Diego to Yuma is completed it will leave
only a small strip of road necessary to
a trans-conUneotal Una. Should this
road be built, Phoenix would soon be
on the main line of a trans-continental
road. It was a very interesting sub
ject and the conference between tbe
visitors and the board of trade dir ec
tors lasted until a late hour.
A man in Missouri had five daughters,
four of thetfi married to men named
Short, Brown, Poor and Little. The
fifth was united last week to a man by
the name of Hogg. At the wedding
supper the old gentleman said to the
guests! "I have taken pains to educate
my daughters that they might act well
their part in life and do honor to my
family. I find that all my pains, cares
and expectations have come at last to
nothing but a Poor Little Short Brown
Hogg."
A young fellow in Preseott who
thought he had won the heart of a
young widow, asked for her band in
marriage. She asked him, "what is
the difference between myself and
Mrs. Smith's cow?' He naturally re
plied, "well, I don't know." "Then,"
replied the widow, "you bad better
marry '.he cow."
ANOTHER RAILROAD
Will Ba Built
From Salomorwilla to
Clifton.
President William Garland of the
Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railway,
asd Mr. I. McAvoy, Southern Pacific,
engineer, from Tucson, left Solomon
ville Sunday on horseback, accom
panied by Charles F. Solomon, to go
over the proposed route for a new rail
road from Solomonviile to Clifton, say a
the Bisbee Eeview. Mr. Garland has
already gathered sufficient information
concerning tbe possibility of such a line,
and there is little doubt about the road
being built, which will make of Solo
monviile an important railroad center.
It is believed that the local tratficalone
between this valley and tbe mining
country in the east part of the county
would justify the building of this road,
which would be le&s than forty miles in
leugth.
A Rich Gold Strike.
Ceipplk Creek, (Colo.) Oct. 22. The
greatest strike of gold in the history of
Cripple Creek camp, and probably in
the world, was made in the Elkton
mine to-day. Drifting at the 700-foot
level, 100 feet from the main shaft, the
miners struck what seems to be a dome
or great crater of fabulous extent, and
tbe richness of which is beyond belief.
A ledge of florin talc, five feet wide,
has been opened, and neither wall has
been found. This fairly glitters with
sylvaoite and rich quartz. Tbe vein
radiates from a large chimney, in
which is a lake, tbe bottom of which is
unfathomable. The dome is thirty feet
in diameter. Tbe roof and sides show
that the matter has beeu burned all the
way from yellow to deep black. The
decomposed matter, when brought to
I the surface, showed blue color. It
is of the subsistence of dough, spark
ling with grains of the precious metal,
like sand in a mortar. There are
hundreds of tons now in sight, and
when it is opened out more there will
be thousands.
Tbe Elkton mine was recently flooded
by a lake being tapped.' Great pumps
are lowering the water rapidly, and
then the true extent of tbe richest
strike ever known will be revealed.
Tbe management refuses to 'divulge
the assay of the mine further than that
it runs Into thousands of dollars per
ton.
D. D. McDonald, former newspaper
man, present mining expert and mag
nate, and above all the champion wing
shot of the territory, arrived in town
last night. lie is principally hereon
mining business, but he will make this
visit an occasion to show the local
sportsmen what he can do over the
trap. He has a standing offer against
the shots of the northern part of the
territory to come in with cush to prove
who is the best man. Between events
at the traps to-day Mr. McDanald will
entertain proposition regard iog min
ing deals. Republican.
J.J. Fraser and Jack Smith returned
Monday morning from Alaska. Tbey
are operating a fine copper property
on Copper river. On their way down
they stopped at San Francisco, where
they saw Charley Mason and Thomas
Graham, both members at different
times of the legislature from Pinal
county. Both have grown rich in min
ing. Mr. Graham is threatened with
blindness and was at San Francisco for
treatment. Republican.
While the Nogales train was nearing
Crittenden Saturday afternoon the
engine and three cars left the track.
Fireman Wm. Clark was standing in
the gangway and was caught between
the boiler and cab, causing instantane
ous death. Clark was a single roan
about 22 years of age. lie lived at
Nogales, where relatives reside.
"I understand you're more liberal
than your fellows," said the northern
visitor. "Perhaps you will admit that
some colored men are as goad as white
men." 6 ,
"Waal, no," replied the liberal south
erner, "but I will admit tha,tsome
white men are worthless as niggahs."

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbliog sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing bat
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Care. Send circulars; free.

According to the Railway Age, pre
liminary arrangements have been com
pleted for tiio sale of the Santa Fe,
Presaott & Phoenix road to the Atchi
son, Topeki ASiuHaFa. The stock
holders of the a. r ., r. r. win meet at
Preseott, November 24, for the purpose
of considering the proposition of the
Santa Fe.
Just what action will be taken in the
matter remains for tbe future, but it is
the general belief that the deal will go
through. Nothing, however, is kuown
at the local offices of the road.
The Santa Fe, Preseott & Phoenix
company, including the Preseott fc
Eastern, operates 221 miles of road. It
earned in the year that ended on Jane
30 last $050,000, as against $087,000 in
1900. The total bet income last near
stood at $525,003, bat of which the
Preseott & Eastirn rental took $17,000
and interest on bonds $395,000, leaving
a surplus of $11,000 in 1901, as compared
with $123,000 iu 1900. Gross earnings per
mile averaged $4,270 last year and $4,408
the year before. Numerous tributary
branches are projected..
Nkw York, Oct. 23. A circular has
been issued to the stockholders of the
Atchison railroad saying that at its
next meeting, in Decembar, they will
be asked tj ratify tbe purchase of tbe
capital stock and bonds of the Pecos
Valley and Northwestern Railway com'
pany and tbe capital stock and second
mortgage bonds ofthe Santa Fe, Pres
eott and Phoenix company.
The evident intention of the Santa
Fe and Rock Island, and rivalry be
tween those companies, to build
through Florence and up the Gila, thus
tapping the mineral reziou about
Riverside and on lower Mineral Creek
have spurred Mr. Garland and his com
pany to action. At any rate there is a
good prospect for the G. V., G. & N
company building a western extension
at an early date, which would give
new impetus to mining in this district
and stimulate the growth and general
business of Globe. Globe Silver Belt
