A Large Crowd Receives Admission and Witnesses the Execution-Maxweii Nerved by but Few Hours' Sleep for His March to Death.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug. 10-A few min utes before 6 o'clock Sheriff Harring- ton called the crowd in the rotunda about him and announced that in obedience to the request of the attor- neys for the condemned men he would delay the execution until 9 o'clock. This announcement caused some sur prise, and there was considerable speculation as to it's meaning. How

into the jail court. These were the first steps in the march to the gallows.
 At S;l0 a. m. Mir. Martin received the following telegram, which was deliy- cred to Maxwell:
 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.-To Hon. J. I. Mar tin: The Governor has received another telegram from Minister West, but persists in the same position. Hold as long as pos sible, as we may get here in time My heartfelt sympathy to accused and his loved ones. Wire his father.
 [Signed FAuNTLERoY.
 The receipt of this caused something of a sensation in the jail, as the crowd had about come to believe that Max well would, after all, receive a respite.
 Immediately on the appearance of the prisoners outside of their cell doors, the Sheriff led off around the circular TOW of cells, toward the mar row gate leading to the yard. He was followed by the four deputies, and they in turn were followed by the con demned. who marched on either side of Father Then. Faces of interested prisoners were pressed agan the doors of all the cells fronting on the semi-circular path toward the gallows. Deputies Collins and Mccormick, Tucker and Gardner, marched in pairs immediately behind the doomed men: A few steps outside the jail and the procession was in full view of the machinery of death, grim in it's sim pile ,ty.
 Sheriff Harrington mounted the gal lows, and the deputies, following him, stepped quickly up. When the prisoners appeared on the trap Depu- ties Witter and Reno advanced to them and bound their legs firmly with strong cord. Deputies Collins and Me Cormick placed the caps on the con demned men, and Deputies Fortin and Jrik adjusted the dangling ropes about their necks. Deputies Tucker and Gardner turned the cleatS that aided in supporting the trap, and Capt. Guibor advanced and cut the rope, which was the last act in moving the death-dealing machinery, and the two bodies dropped simultaneously at S;56.

Minimum Lands.

It seems that the officials at Tucson are still exacting $2.50 per acre for all lands located under the long since forfeited Texas Pacific railroad grant. Thos. H. McMullin is the reporters authority for stating that this is un- just and contrary to law.. A bill pass ed both houses of congress on the eighth dayof last October, putting these lands in the category with those which had never been reserved or at the min imum price of $1.25 per acre. Even though the president did not sign the bill, it became a law in ten days, or on the 18th day of October, three days before the adjournment of congress. MT. McMullin was at Washington all last winter looking alter the passage of this act, and he is therefore regard ed as authority. The proper Hinstruc- tions, it is thought, will shortly reach the Tucson land office. We are gladly convinced that the act has passed, as it is of most vital importancesto this portion of Arizona, and only does set tiers simple justice-Arizonan.

Territorial Home Rule.
Let us have home rule unde

Let us have home rule under the new dispensation. Whenever possible the president should appoint resident republicans to local offices. The rule should hold in the south and the ter ritories, as well as the northern state. No man who knows MT. Harrison be- lieves that he will appoint a single bad man to office, knowingly Every where republicans should speak out boldly against bad or incompetent men who seek office. The Bee shall do so, without fear or favor. It has no friends to urge upon the admins tration for any office and shall not Nnd itself to further any ones inter ests, but it shall promptly condemn bad appointments, in the interest of the public service and of the republi- can party. We da not believe in a carpet-bag policy ,and se have no fears that MT. Harrison will 1e-inaugurate it. The republicans in the territories have proved their loyalty to the full lest possible extent, and we believe
 that the local federation positions excepting perhaps, judicial vacancies should be filled by residents of the various territories. This will not only give the greatest satisfaction, but 1t will insure the best public service By all means, let us have home rule San Diego Bee

A Water Storage Enterprise.

Yesterday G. w. Ingalls, sent out two or three men and a wagon load of supplies to inaugurate preliminary work on an enterprise which is likely to be of the greatest importance to Maricopa county. The proJect em- braces the daming of the Agua, Eric, near Frog tanks, the washing of 1925 acres of auriferous gravel and the re- clamation of fully 100000 acres of az ricrltural land, which experts pro- nource to be particularly adapted to the production of citrus fruits. Col. G. W. Lechper, of Denver, partner of Mir. Ingshs, isat the head of theI en- terprise, and announces that hef has no fears as to scoring sufficient capi- tai to perform the work. The location of the dam is one that has long since been recognized as ole of the most feasible, as well as permitting of the lowest cost of construction of any in the territory, and Maor Ingalls, is to be congratulated upof securing the necessary capital to develop this one of the many natural aSantages which Maricopa county afford. zonan.

The Mining Outlook.

Capital runs in streaks and grooves while seeking investment. Now that real estate speculation is materially HhRting, it is natural to expect that more Attention will be given to the usIill|,N Industry. Some observing 1t0f4s Las noted that the big mining tIrIkts or discoveries invariably occur 70 decades with the year ending with the figure 9. Thus in 1919, 1859, 1863 and 1879 this country was as- tonished with the discovery of mineral deposits of fabulous extent and value. Next year the mystic figure again ap- pears, and it is more than probable thas Arizona will develop the bonan- gas that are anticipated by these su- perstitiously inclined. The mines of Arizona, il we except the old Tiptop, Vulture, Silver King and those of the Tombstone district have never as yet ever been prospected It is recog- nized that Arizona is richly mineral ized, yet little more than surface work has so far been performed on thous- nnds and thousands of locations. Ac- cepting simply prospects and it is absolutely certain the low grade lodges now known will, when we get better transportation, cheaper fuel and other facilities for the reduction of ore at low prices, afford profitable operations for at least half a century. If capital will set about in systematic manner to develop the mines of Arizona, no fears are to be entertained as to the result. Indian disturbances in the past the great expense necessary to transporting machinery, and the heavy cost of all supplies, have greatly re- tarded this industry Now it is ad- mitted that the Indian question has been settled forever; we have railroads and more are promised, while the rapid development of our agricultural resources has reduced and is still re- ducing the cost of supplies. Hence the opportunities for safe investments are constantly increasing, and if judg- ment is used, and benefit taken of ex- perIence, there is no better field open for the capitalist to engage in mining Kid-glove uperintendents long and high-priced list of fancy employees, the CiSSbAOi Ol 1h cApcislNc lHlll dHu Iut purchase of other machinery, before a ledge is developed and any assurance given that body of ore may be en- countered, never made success ol any mining enterprise. With this class of miners() Arizona has already had q surieit, and it is therefore grati flying to know that what new enter prises are now being prosecuted in thi' territory usual business principles anC methods are observed. Under sucl circumstances the risks are light while the probabilities for large profits are greater than those of any othe

Remedy the Evil.

There are but few States or Terri tories in this Union which throw so many obstacles in the way of the sue cess of their newspapers as Arizona does. The code provides that Sheriff or Constable can post all notices com ing from their office in conspicuous places which takes away from the press the work which rightfully be- longs to it. However insignificant the paper in town may be it is copied from extensively and reaches thous- ands of eyes daily. It is the only means by which country can have its resources made public. It should be fostered instead of fought. Let the next Legislature remedy this evil and make it possible for the press to give more news, later telegrams and other wise enlarge its scope of usefulness to the community. The press of this Territory is not what it should be, but it cannot be expected to improve SC long as it is fought by the powers that should foster it.-Prospector.
