on a most reasonable schedule of prices for water-a schedule that will appeal to the reason and interest of the poor in purse, namely, SIP for perpet- ual water right. payable $5 at date of entry and and $7 in nine years, the company has thrown around the finan- cial features of it's plan such arbitrary protection for settlers as will absolutely prevent all speculation in the funds of the company or wastetul diversion of the money paid in for water certificates. Subscribers for certificates are required to send their money ($l00 per certificate, twenty acres) directly to the Farmers Loan and Trust Go. of New York, of which company and at which place alone they can be obtained. The high standing and conservative character Of the trust company is such that subscribers for the certificates are assured an immunity from all possibility of loss, and from any possibility whatever of the money so su ubscribed being diverted to any other purpose than legitimate de- velopment. Those acquainted with the policy and methods of the Farmers Loan and Trust company know that it does not undertake trust of the grave charac- ter and weighty responsibility carried in this instance until the most exhaus- tive and satisfactory investigation has been made as to the solvency, responsi- bility, and legitimacy of the corpora ton applying for it's approval.
 Proposing to perfect the greatest en- gineering work the world has ever seen in modern irrigation, the company has wisely insisted on having the services of the best engineering talent that this country can furnish. Indeed, it is probably no exaggeration to say that the engineers now at work for the com panv are not surpassed on either side of the ocean. That they stand un- rivalled in the United States is conced- ed and thus in this, as in other feat ures of the great enterprise, is seen the fruition of years of preliminary toll, energy and perseverance. THE REPUB- L1cAN, with the people of Arizona, re- ioices at the result, and bids the com pany Godspeed.

to Jail.

William Price is doomed. Without t intervention he will be hanged on Feb ruary ].
 Sentence was passed on him yester- day morning by Judge Baker, in the presence of large crowd attracted by the thrilling character of the event.
 The prisoner was brought into the court as calm and collected as he had been ever since he aimed his deadly weapon at Shurbert on the morning of October 28. It apparently made no difference to him what the judgment of the court might be.
 When called upon to stand he arose without tremor. During the judges review he stood looking out of 8 win. dow at the sky, the clouds and the trees. At last in reply to the formal ques. tion if he had anything to say why sen- tence should not be passed upon him, he said that his counsel, Col. Fitch would speak for him.
 Col. Fitch arose, visibly impressed with the responsibility resting upon. Never did silver tongued orator plead more eloquently, though he pied un- availinglv, for human life. All but the subject of his intercession was affected and at the conclusion of the address the crowd torgetful of the awful solemn ity of the occasion, applauded.
 Said Col. Fitch:
 'The power to make distinction be tween murder in the first and second degree, has been transferred in this ter ritory from the jury to the court; ye the jury may express their opinion a to the grade of the crime by recon

CAPITAL HOTEL.
Opening of Splendidly Furnished Apartments in Gardiner'S Block.


 Today is opened to the public the new apartment hotel in the Gardiner block. For several months past workmen have been busy clustering. carpentering and decorating. The more recent labor of furnishing has just been completed and the result is twenty-sIx rooms are richly carpeted ,tastefully decorated and splen- didly furnished.
 A feature of the hotel is the rotunda a large square office room at the head of the stairs which will be used ss busi- ness room as well as a sort of general parlor. The entire house is brilliantly lighted by electricity and heated by steam. Especial pains have been taken to so arrange the hotel in every respect as to make it attractive to those gentle men of the coming legislature who may require rooms in a public place and to a superior class of semi permanent lodg- CTS. The fact that the building, and every piece of furniture is not only brand new but of high grade cannot fail to commend the Capital to a discrimin- ating and particular visiting or travel ing public. Mrs. J. Q. McVey, already favorably known to many Phenicians, is proprietress.

magnificent undertaking after the years of untiring energy and single-minded purpose which he has devoted to the project.
 In addition to this, the people of Arizona are to be congratulated that their lawmakers have placed on the statute books such wise and just laws with reference to irrigation as have placed this territory in the front rank in the estimation of eastern capital. Whereas, nearly all other western states and territories have gone to foolish length in yoluminous and con- tradictory legislation on the subject of irrigation, itremained for Arizona alone to follow closely in the wake of the congressional act of March 3rd, 1891. The legislators of this territory had the foresight to closely harmonize it's laws with this act, giving to tax-pay- CTS, settlers and investors alike, just and ample protection. Having had the wisdom to enact just enough and no more legislation on the subject, Arizona citizens alone have been able to inter- est foreign capital, as witnessed in the success of the Hudson Reservoir and Canal company. And this is not all the same wisdom manifested in the future will bring to the aid of still other enterprises the necessary capital from abroad.
 It must be said, however, that much of the success of the company whose triumph is chronlcled this morning, Is due to the original and commendable policy toward settlers which it has de- termined to maintain, which policy, on examination, has won the interest and approval of capital.
 The company, issuing fifty thousand circulars and placing them Tn every state and erritory before prospective Arizona settlers, has laid down the in flexible rule that the Desert Land Act of the federal government shall be honestly and rigidly followed-in other words such safeguards are thrown around the issuan ce of water certificates that speculators cannot secure any sub stantial foothold on the public domain over which the franchises of the com pany run. Knowing that the pros- peritv of the people of Arizona as we'll as the prosperity of the company is con- served by creating and building up small and productive holdings under it's ditches, the company will in no case vary from the rule of having each cer tifcate represent twenty acres and no more. No person will be allowed to take out more than eight certificates or more than 160 acres in all. Then, charging two dollars and fifty cents per acre as yearly water rental whether the water is used or not it will be seen that the company has devised system whereby speculators are pretty efectu- ally barred, and whereby the inter- ests of the laborers and wealth pro- ducers are protected to the utmost. As matter of course, other new
 features, peculiar to this company. have proved attractive to visitors and in- tending settlers, and which can only be touched upon briefly. Having settled

A RICH PROSPECT.
Ore Whose Figures Present Dazzling
 Possibilities.

Ore Whose Figures Present Dazzling
 Possibilities.
 MT. J. c. Rankin came in yesterday from valuable mining claim four miles southwest of Brill's ranch, owned jointly by himself, Justice Kincaid, H. L. Dietcher and J. ". Major. The two latter named owners are Chicago gen. tlemen.
 The rock is particularly rich in vana- date of lead, from which vanadium Is produced and whose market value is $4 a gram. So much of this ore as has been assayed shows that it carries ten Der cent of the mineral, as in ton of the ore there are 200 pounds of vanadate of lead. The profit from these figures would seem to be fabulous, and in fact they are enormous. There are some drawback though. In the first place the market for vanadium is limited, and in the next place the ore has to be converted into concentrates containing great deal of lead lpon which freight must be paid. Notwithstanding these facts though, there is bright prospect that the owners will reap a rich her- vest. The ore also carries considerable gold.
 A shaft has been sunk fifty feet from the bottom of which a drift has been run thirty feet upon five foot ledge of the ore which has increased in size and is maintaining it's richness. The end of the drift is seventy feet below the surface. There are now fifty tons on the dump.

Something Concerning Ari-
 zona's Irrigation Laws.
Their Fairness and Simplicity Fa- Vorably Regarded by Eastern
 Capitalists.

The announcement made in the local columns of THE REPUBLICAN 8 few days ago that the Hudson Reservoir and Canal com pany had opened offices in this city, that the engineers are now at work on the final plans for the diver sion dam, etc., was of more significance than was likely to be apprehended by the readers of THE REPUBLICAN. The news that the company is at last ready for active work means more for the Salt river valley and for Arizona, it is safe to say, than any single event has ever signifed in the history Of the ter ritory.
 It IS unnecessary to dwell at length on what 1t means to have water storage and con-equent supply of water in abundance for the irrigation of this valley. The c)nsummation of the pro- ject means the transformation of this valley into the garden spot of America
 It means the rapid up-building of 8 great wealth, the immediate creation of thousands of new and prosperous homes, and will be more inn
 
 opening of Oklahoma. The enterprise will give to the territory an "open sesame" to statehood. And, finally, it means the success of the greatest irri- gation undertaking seen in modern times. Only in India can anything be seen approaching it in magnitude. h. cidentally, the success of the Hudson Reservoir and Canal carries with it for Arizona the honor of financing the first preat industrial enterprise in the United States since ths beginning oi the panic three years ago. Accordingly, THE REPUBLICAN would be unjust to it's readers if it omitted to properly notice the advent of this company into the field of active operations. And this paper begs to congratulate Col. Tender shott on the assured success of his

and Coal-Iron Ore WIN Bs Free and

Republicans Hope to Defeat the BiiL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Wben the
tariff conference adjourned Mt $50
o'clock yesterday they confirmed the
story which had been floating about
the capitol corridors all day that the
basis Of an agreement had been
reached. This announcement had
been made with more or less positive
ness by members OF the conference
committee ON several previous occa-
sions, but never until last night were
the conferrees willing to explain
what the terms OF agreement were. IL
had been understood for several days
that the last sugar schedule proposed
by the conservative senators would be
the one which must be- accepted
IL any agreement whatever was
reached. Last night the house con-
ferrees did not hesitate to declare that
they had accepted this schedule. but
claimed that it was reduction OF
fully SO per cent over the original
senate schedule in the protection to
refiners- This new schedule gives u
duty of 40 per cent ON raw sugars,
duty of 40 per cent On the raw mn
terial consumed in the manufacture
of the refined article and one. fifth OF
cent differential on refined sugars.
Coal Is to remain on the dutiable list
ut 40 cents and iron ore IL to come in
free. These were the three schedules
which had deadlocked the conferrees-
The Republican steering committee
OF the senate held u session i'm
mediately after the adjournment Of
the senate to consider the situation.
The understanding among them was
to the effect that the Democrats had
got close enough together to allow
the tariff bill to he reported back to
the senate. There were present Re-
publicans who had information rs to
the status of the bill. and they stated
that upon the manufacturing sched-
ules the senate rates in the main OBJ
tanned, but upon the principal Items
sugar, coal and iron ore-a compro-
mise had been reached. II was from
this standpoint that til, Republicans
discussed the bill and the possibility
of defeating it. 1t was first ascer-
tanned that every Republican and the
Populists-Peffer an Stewart would
vote against the bill. and that Mr..
Hill would also oppose it. Three
more votes were necessary to defeat
il.
