FOR NEW BONDS
New Bill Being Prepared
 by Springer.
RAPE, MURDER AND SUICIDE
Sad Fate of a Beautiful Girl Paymaster Sanbagged and
 Robbed of $40,O00.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Congress man | William Springer, chairman of the committee on banking and currency, is preparing bill to remedy the defects oi national banking and currency system which he will submit to members oi the committee and hopes to get before | congress soon after it assemblies. He says the near approach to the tune when government bonds will be payable is limited. The volume of such bonds and their high price demonstrate that other security for circulation must be resorted to, if we are to have enough currency for needs of the country.
 To that end he will propose that the bonds of states, of counties, and of certain municipalities with proper regulation, and under government supervision, be utilized for the purpose of securing circulation, and that all banks, state as we'll as national, depositing such securiti IS be permitted to take out currency to at least 90 per cent of their value.
 Provisions will also be made for additional security in case of the slightest depreciating in value of these securities, the government to assume sole responsibility for redemp- ton of such notes in coin on demand, for which purpose it should keep a coin reserve of at least 20 per cent of the outstanding circulation.
 This would relieve banks of keeping bank reserves, or withholding any part of the currency issued, from circulation among the people.

THE CANOA CANAL SOLD.
An English Company Snap it up
 Price SlGO.OOO.

English capital will be in Arizona shortly developing water and making homes in the Santa Cruz valley. That is to say, the capital will be here, provid- ed the coming court of private land claims does not decide against the Canoa grant.
 The Csnoa canal, land water and all has been sold by Maish & Driscoll, to an English syndicate, provided the coming land court confirms the grant. The price will be S100,000, cold cash. Judge Wright consummated the sale.
 The grant title is surely good one, or Maish & Driscoll would not make the big outlay of money ard labor there they have. "The sale is made if the title IS what Maish & Driscol claim it is," said Judge Wright.
 With English capital in the Santa Cruz valley further development of the underground flow of water may be ex- pected. What the limit of that flow IS is impossible to know, butcertainly water enough will now be developed to greatly hasten the coming resource of Arizona irrigation.

MINING NEAR QUIJOTOA.
Day & Hunter Add a Rich Gold
 Ledge to their Properties.

Ledge to their Properties.
 Andy, if you find that ledge while I'm gone I'll make you present of a new hat" That is what W. T. Day told his partner, Andrew Hunter, on his de- parture for the east two months ago. Hunter now claims the hat.
 He had noted fairly rich placers near near the Hunter & Day group at Horseshoe basin, nesr Quiiotoa, and never found where the gold came from. Walking up the gulch few days ago he found the ledge, crossing the gulch. It was of free gold, and the rock was speckled with the valuable. He bor- rowed an Indian dry washer and in a short time took out a small handful of gold nuggets. He says that the ledge is the best of the group, which consists of twenty-seven mines. Then too he will have a new hat.
 The work of sinking the we'll goes on with good progress. Sinking is now down 150 feet. For the last fifty feet they have worked in water. Sinking will be continued to the depth of 800 feet, nevertheless. Once before Day & Hunter placed their hopes in apparent plenty of water. This time they are going to have enough.
 While sinking for water 1t IS curious that water in the mines should head of their work. Such is the fact. Far up on a mountain side they struck the water, at depth of eighty feet. Being unable to sink farther they went to drifting, The mine is too tar from the mill to utilize the water.

ON HER THRONE.
The Hawaiian Queen Probably
 Comfortably There Now.
The Grounds Taken for Its Presen, Attitude by the Government
 Stevens Blamed Now.

| WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Although the state department expected to hear
 nothing from Hawaii until Saturday
 it is generally anticipated that every thing is settled in the islands; that the restoration of the queen has been ac- com plished without bloodshed. It IS understood Minister Willis has instruc- tions to provide for the protection of people instrumental in forming a provisional government. Also that the queen shall grant amenesty to all engaged in her overthrow. The ground on which this position is taken is that Minister Stevens led them into rioat and that this government there fore IS bound to protect them to the extent of assuring amnesty.
 CaICAGo, Nov. 14.-A special to a local paper from Washington says: The cabinet is considering the advisa- bility of giving Commissioner Blount's report to the press. Yesterday it was thought best to say nothing more, officially, about the Hawaiian sensation till the next steamer arrived from Honolulu, but in view of the public clamor for evidence of the truth of the assertions made by Gresham, there is a belief that it may be wise to satisfy the clamor.
 If the cabinet decides to favor an- other official utterance, an abstract will be made of the evidence gathered by Blount,i together with his report, or part of it, and it will be given out to- niCht Or tOmOrrOW
 BlOunt's evidence covers about 5000 ages of typewriter matter. The evi- dence contains the original letter of Stevens and Dole.
 Dole's letter is particularly interest ing. It shows, by date and text, that
 it was written and sent to Stevens be- fore the provisional government had read its proclamation. In 1t Dole says he lacks the control of several import ant buildings and asks that an Amsrl- can naval officer, with marines, be placed in charge of the provisional troops.
 There are also Stevens original let ter, asking for the use of a hall in which to house troops; also his letter recognizing the provisional government before he was government de fscto.

 Orders were received today from the Chicago office of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroad company to increase the grading force at once and rush the road to completion to Phoenix. Since the commencement of the panic, the forcs has been reduced to 100 men. Thirteen miles of grading have already been completed south from Prescott and twenty miles graded north from Phoenlx. Track laying wili be resumed soon at this end, in order to facilitate getting supplies to the front.

COSTS IN THE LIBEL CASES. The District Attorney Says They
 Will be Under $500.

All this talk of big expenses and ol bankrupting the county in the Gazette cases is utter nonsense," said District Attorney Hereford this morning. "The three libel cases will not cost the coun. ty $500"
 In the libel cases the main expenses were arresting and bringing the offend CTS here, and the subpoenaIpg of the grand jury to reappesr in court and testify. The rest of the expenses are about like this: Clerks fees, S25. sheriff, possibly as much more, and twelve jurors three days, or S75. The total will be under $500.
 In the contempt proceedings the ex- penses are light. They will not be above S250 all together. Habeas corpus proceedings, under territorial statute, are tried without fees to any of the officers. The costs will be mostly the actual fare in the removals. The whole business will probably be under S250, and that will in all probability come out of the territory and net Pima cou ty. The proceedings before Judge Baker, and now before Judge Rouse, are before them as associate justices, and not as district judges. Attorney General Heney appeared in them as territorial officer.

BANKSTO THE RESCUE.
A Plan Perfected Whereby the
 Gold Reserve May be Increased.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-A plan has just been perfected whereby the gold reserve of the treasury may be in
 creased to its legal limit of S1OO,OOO,- 900. This is to be done by means of an understanding with the banks of New York to increase the proportion of gold in their deposits at the New York sub-treasury to cover the certified checks that are presented by importers in payment of customs duties. Here tofore the gold in their deposits has not averaged more than one per cent. The bulk of payments has been made in treasury notes.
 None of the officials of the treasury are willing to discuss the reports that the gold reserve it to be strengthened by the assistance of the New York banks, which 1t is said, will release their gold to make payments for GUS toms dues. This retlcence to talking applied also to the secretary, who, when shown the published statements on the subject, said he had nothing to make public, but intimated if the New York bankers saw fit to discuss the matter, it was their privilege to do so. Such an arrangement as that centem- plated, the officials say, could be entered into by MT. Jordan, the assist ant treasurer at New York, who would not necessarily feel it obligatory to communicate the fact to the treasury.

A Good Showing of Convictions.

The late term of district court in the criminal line was an suspicious one.
 Twenty-six criminal indictments were before the court, and not one of those charged escaped. Two had hung juries. the Parks cattle-stealing case and the rape charge against Carlos Trusado Neither of the two are yet by long ways free. The rest went through, con- victions for all of them. District Attor- ney Hereford is we'll pleased with the showing, and with good cause.
 1t was about the same way with the examinations before the grand jury. The grand jury discharged but two prisoners held for them, both charges of murder, usually tuo serious crime to discharge from on examination. One was the Gresterville affair, where d Mexican killed another In a duel with rocks. The other was the Pantano affray, where the wife of the defendant was not allowed to testify against him, and where the other witness changed her story.

Another Habeas Corpus for Dun b ar

The contempt proceedings of John Dunbar will die a'fghting. The ten days matter failed for him before Judge Baker. It now remains to be seen what will be done with him by Judge Rouse, in the Florence district, on the sixty-days case.

 It is understood the same arguments made before Judge Sloan will be made for Dunbar before Judge Rouse.
 Attorney General Heney will appear against Dunbar.

Another Artificial Lake for Irriga- ton Uses.

A splendid site for dam and irrigat- ing plant is being worked on by Lyman Wakefield at the point of the Catalinas, north of town.
 The proposed dam has a natural enclosure on three sides, while the fourth will be built with an embank- ment of earth about a mile in length and maximum of twenty feet high. Water may be impounded mile by a mile and half, and nothing to twenty feet deep. A spillway will be so constructed as to carry away surplus water without damage to the embark ment. The water will come from the mountains. With every rain it comes down in such volume as would fill the dam in a short time. The bottom is of such formation as to be nearly impervious. Loss from seepage will be little. Two miles of ditch will be re- quired.
 The land to be irrigated is fertile and level. It has all been farms in ages agone. Ditches cross it in various: :places. one canal being strongly defined. Big mesquit trees have grown in them and routed since they were abandoned.
 Water can also be put on the land from the Santa Cruz, Canada Gel Gro creek and the Rillito. Several thousand acres may be irrigated.

Will Accept the Queen

SAN FRANcIsCo, Cal, Nov. 15.-It is the opinion of those who came up from Honolulu on the China, that the an- nexationists will make no resisteuce if the United States orders the queen put back, but the government will have to keep force of men constantly on shore to maintain her on the throne, and that will practically amount to an- nexation. with the singular anomaly of territory of the United States gov erned by woman who calls herself a queen.

Dampen piece of flannel with Cham berlaiu's Pain Balm and bInd it on over the seat of pain. It is better than any plaster. When the lungs are sore such an application on the chest and another on the back, between the shoulder blades will often prevent pneumonia. There is nothing so good for lame back or pain in the side. A sore throat can nearly always be cured m one night by applying flannel bandage damped with Pain Balm. 50 cent bottles for sale by
