Warmly contested local elections have
been held this month in the state of Indiana,
the issue being high or low license. The
Inter-Ocean sums up the result as follows:
'Where the Republicans won in the lndi-
ana municipal elections higher saloon licens-
es and policy of rigid restriction upon the
sale of liquor carried the day. Where the
Democrats won lower licenses and freer sale
of rum will be the rule for next year. Com
ment Is needless"

Smith $4,000 to indemnify him for any

declined to accept it and insisted that For

upon. AS THIS was refused he commenced

A rizona's Progress.

It Is most gratifying to note the ac- tivity prevailing the counties of Ari zona. All are awakening to the inn portance of developing their latent resources. The reclamation of desert land is receiving much attention. We hear of extensive enterprises being in augurated with this view in the coun- ties of Yavapai, Graham, Pima, Pinal and Yuma. In each of these counties the people are taking hold of the mat ter in good earnest and with great success.
 Herein lies the future greatness of Arizona We have water, when wise ly controlled and economically dis tributed, to reclaim land sufficient for the support of million of people money is getting to be cheap and is directed here for investment- any feasib le plan for the reclamation oi desert lands will meet favorable con. sideration at the hands of capitalists Now is the time to inaugurate such enterprises. Maricopa Is doing hel full share in this direction there are canals being built and projected iron the Salt and Gila rivers which will ado to our arable land probably not les. than two hundred thousand acres When a commencement IS made II other counties they will be surprisel to find how little water is required fol irrigation, and how much land a little water, properly used, will reclaim PheniX Gazette.

Profit in Chickens.

One of the most neglected, and also one of the most paying industries in Arizona, Is the raising of poultry and the raising of chickens especially, is a valuable adjunct to every farmer. It costs almost nothing to keep flock of two or three dozen hens on the farm, and the sale of eggs alone will more than pay for their keeping. The young chicks thrive and grow under almost any conditions in this country, and chickens at the age of three months will sell at from 40 to 50 cents each.
 In calculating the gain from a flock of AS birds, one of our suburban resi- dents said that after paying all ex- penses for feed and allowing good wages to himself for taking care of them, he cleared $48 per month, or $l on each bird kept, and was con fdent that the yield could have been made greater if he had devoted more time to looking after the wants of the flock. This gain was from the sale oI eggs alone, as he took no pains ln rais ing chicks though he firmly believes there is more profit in this branch ot industry at present prices than there i: in the sale of eggs.
 The flock referred to above are al healthy birds of the Plymouth Rocl variety and are the pride of theil fortunate possessor. He began tht raising of chickens simply as an ex pertinent and was quite surprised ant pleased at the result, and will increas, his plant and go into the business quite extensively next year.

From the Reservoir.

Hon. Geo. H. Daily returned from his ranch near Casa Grapde He has cleared off GAO acres and has proved up on the same. The land is within one mile of the big reservoir of the Florence canal company.
 MT. Daily says the reservoir will be completed within the next month. It covers 800 acres. The enbankment on the west side is one and quarter miles in length and the one on the north is mile in length. The base of the dam is l20 ahd the crest 20 feet wide. The average depth of the water when the dam is filled to the proposed capacity will be about ten feet.
 There are no teams at work. They are mostly from the surrounding farming districts.
 The grain crops look very fine. Alfal- ia is growing luxuriantly. Dr. Hurley has $40 acres under cultivation, one half in alfalfa and the other in grain, which is of most luxuIiant growth and demonstrates we'll that the land of that section will produce under ultivatiOn.-Star.

Death of Eli F. Stafford.
(Phenix Herald.)


 Another of the old timers has joined his fast departing brothers. About II o'clock last night Eli F. Stafford pass ed away. His we'll known jewelry firm of Stafford X Huson occupied a store in the Porter block with Major Jeffries. About 2 o'clock yesterday morning the Major saw him opening the department for business. He went out then. As as he had complained of severe kidney troubles for day or two nothing was thought of his absence. About three p. m., however, his partner, w. o. Huson, went to his house near Frank Cox's and an hour later Judge I. H. Cox called. He seemed to be asleep and the Judge concluded not to disturbed him. On second thought, however, he made a closer examination and was then led to summon Dr. Hughes The latter responded immediately and pronounced the case one of overdose of morphine.
 A nurse was summoned. District Attorney Cox, Theodore Marsteller, Judge Cox, Captain Steightz and others, aided Dr. Hughes in efforts to restore respiration. He breathed again at 6 p. m. and even sat up. But he begged his friends to "leave him alone and let him sleep" An eternal sleep came shortly thereafter, and the sufferer was granted his last request. This morning Justice Sherman held an inquest, the result of which will be found elsewhere.
 Deceased was a native of North Carolina and 65 years old. His father, we'll to do farmer, gave him liberal education in Indiana, whither he had early moved. He taught school in Missouri and then mined with indif- ferent success in Colorado. Reaching San Diego during its first boom of 1869-70, he and T. s. Moore went into real estate and would have realized enormously had they held their prop erty. He farmed there and raised honey Justice Sherman and Judge Cox both knew him in San Diego and have been intimately acquainted with him ever since. He was a true friend and upright citizen, outwardly cheerful even when really most depressed.
 In 1877 he came to Phenix. After a residence in Florence and some ex- perience in cattle on Tonto Creek, he returned here and finally engaged in jewelry business with Mir Humphrey Afterwards he formed a partnership with w. G. Huson, which lasted till his death.
 Mir Stafford lost his wife in San Diego. She died suddenly, of heart dropsy, while he and a sister-in-law were out of the house few minutes gathering eggs. The shock proved a very serious one and seemed to cloud the bereaved husbands life thereafter, despite his efforts to appear cheerful. He leaves a son in Kansas City, a daughter in Kentucky and one in TeSnessee, all married.
 The funeral occurred at 4 o'clock this afternoon, from his residence on

Storage Reservoirs.

The Raton (N. NJ Range, speaking of irrigation by water storage reser- voirs, says:
 "There is an impression among some that successful irrigation of the arid regions will never be feasible through the establishment of reser- voirs, on account of rapid evaporation. But experience, so far, clearly demon strates that evaporation of water-in reservoirs has been greatly over es- timated. There are numerous reser- voirs which stands complete refutation of the idea that such rapid evapora- ton takes place, Even within one mile and a half of Ratop there is a small reservoir in pasture to catch seven feet of water that last August, and through unusual intervening dry months has furnished water for a bunch of steers up to this date, with water still left. There can be no doubt that when cheap capital comes west ward, that many of the draws and basins which surround so many ranches in this country, will be util- ized to conserve that valuable element which when applied intelligently tc vegetable growth, has made our pro ducts the wonder and envy of the agri cultural and horticultural world"

 Thos. Burch brought in, last week, several hundred pounds of rich ore from the Eagle claim, in Cedar dis trict, in which he and J. c. Potts are interested. The rich streak Is about eight inches wide, and the owners hope that it will grow in size and richness as work progresses.
 The Antler mine, the property south of Yucca belonging to Phelps, Dodge X Co.,, is being developed, and is prov ing better than the owners anticipated. It is being worked for it's copper ore, which carries a large percentage ot silver. Twelve men are now at work, and two shafts are run.
 Judge Shipman was in town We'd nesday, and reports that the Music Mountain Gold Mining Company as having purchased new boiler and and engine for their mill, which has been ordered for several months, and is expected to arrive during next month at Blackberry.
