The most wonderful baths in the
world are those built by Adolph Sutro,
the millionaire, in San Francisco. Cal.
The great cliffs have been tunneled
that the water Of the Pacific may flow
through a succession Of canals into the
reservoir where it is warmed and
thence into the enormous tanks. The
baths are more than twice as large as
the largest of the famous old Roman
baths, and Mr.. Sutro has tried to make
them as beautiful. Twenty thousand
people can sit, stand or promenade

A GOOD BEGINNING.
What Has Already Been Done
 on the Rio Verde.
Engineering Work Is to Be Com menced on the Big Dam
 In Few Bays.

On the eighth day of the present month that part of the working force of the Minnesota and Arizona Construc- tion company that has just arrived from Minneapolis for the purpose of commencing the work of building the Rio Verde canal, passed up Washington street. Yesterday the result up to date of their Ia bors as shown in the first es- innate presented to the canal company was commenced.
 The force reached the place of com. mencement of operations in the after noon of the 9th; up to yesterday eighteen full working days have been put in. thirty thousand yards of ma terial have been removed and the work has been fully opened up On three miles of the canal. one mile of which has been fully completed. Notwithstand- ing thIs result it must be remembered that this is only the beginning of oper- ations, the accomplished result of few days work of the initial force. MT. Robinson, the company's representa-. tive in charge of the force in the field. has quietly and quickly settled his camp so that it already has the appear

W. c. Norton & Co. carried $3,000 insurance on building and $500 on grain and hay stored therein; $1 .000 of the insurance was taken out the day before the fire. The building was not quite completed and MT. Norton was preparing to move into it. The building cost about $4.000. John Raible carried no insurance. Mrs. Harley lost $500 worth of furniture and clothing. She carried no insurance This is the eighth house which John Ralble has lost by fire in ten years past. MT. Raible is 8 pioneer of this section and has much sympathy in his repeated losses.
 The Courier is pleased to state that MT. Norton is in no wise discouraged byhis losses, but will rustic for moro business with his accustomed vim.
 The origin of the fire is only matter of conjecture.

RECEIVED WITH FAVOR.
An Arizona Officer Contributes
 to NapoIeanic Literature.
Lieutenant Sargent's Bonapart's First Campaign Attracts the Fav-
 orable Notice of Critics.

Says the Denver Post concerning an Arizona literary production:
 "Lieutenant Herbert H. Sargent, who is now stationed at Fort Logan, has written book on Napoleon which has received the highest commendation from the eastern press. Following is criticism from the Buffalo Express:
 'A book from Arizona territory treat ing of one of Napoleon's cam paigns Is rather surprising in itself, but the as- toniehment Is the greater to find that 1t easily takes rank among the best trestises upon the military career Of the great Corsican. Yet this praise is to be awarded to Napoleon Bona. parte's First Campaign" by Lieutenant Herbert H. Sargent, Second cavalry, United States army, who dates his preface from Fort Bowie, A. T.
 ''One of the peculiar features of Lieut.. Sargent's book is the fact that although designed for the military stu dent, it is hardly less interesting to the layman. This is due, in large part, to it's extreme lucidity. Such clearness and concise vigor are rare, even in the works of military critics. Technical problems of strategy and tactics are presented by Lieutenant Sargent with such simplicity that even the unmiE- tary reader can follow them with realization of Napoleon's greatness as general.
 ''The 230 pages Of the book are de- voted solely. as the title imports, to the first campaign in Italy. Much has been written upon the famous cam paign, of course-among other books, a large part of ''The First Napoleon" of John c. Ropes is devoted to it-yet, within ils limits as purely military treatise, Lieutenant Sargent's volume need fear com parison with none. In plan it somewhat resembles Ropes "The Campaign of Waterloo" A chapter each is devoted to Montenotte, Lodi, Lonato and Caetiglione, Baseano and San Georgio. Arcole. Rivoli and the Taglamento. The account of each battle is followed by several pages of comments" discussing it critically 1; and chapter of general comments" brings up the rear. There are two folding sketch maps, for the first and last parts of the campaign, and a page map is devoted to Arcole. and another to Rivoli. In his general comments, Lieutenant Sargent considers briefly some of Napoleon's other campaigns. It is to be hoped that he will treat them more at length in subsequent vol umes in the manner in which he has treated the campaignin Italy"
 The talented author is an intimate friend of Maj. R. Allyn Lewis of Phoe- nix, who feels both a geographical and personal pride in the favorable atten- tion attracted by Napoleon Bona parte's First Gam paign."

COWBOY MOLLIE FOUND.

She Wandered Into an Indian Camp
 on the GiIa.
 "Cowboy Mollie," the insane woman who escaped from the asylum last Thursday, has been found. She was brought to the sheriff's office by some Indians on the other side of the Gila. Late the afternoon before she wan dered into an Indian camp about half way between Morgan and G1la stations and about thirty-three miles from Phoenix.
 Notwithstanding her long tramp over the desert sands and the noun tain rocks she was Tn good condition, aside from blistered feet. She had travelled part of the way barefoot, car rying her shoes and stockings. "Mol- lie" was greatly elated over her esca- pade and described it with eloquence and profanity. If I'd a only had my breeches and my gun I'd a been all right" she said. The remark WAS in reference to the days of long ago when she rode the range in cowboy garb. She was taken out to the asylum the same afternoon.

A Patients Mind Gives Way for
 the Third Time.
 Maria Casas, an unmarried woman of twenty-six, was adiudged insane yester. day by Probate Judge Grouse and con- mitted to the asylum. This is her third residence in the institution. She was discharged the last time about four years ago.
 Complaint in this case was made by Miguel Ornal, who has been living with her as her husband sinceIlast Thursday. He testified that he had known her for month. One evidence of her insanity adduced by him was one that would send half the women on earth to the asylum, disposition to disobey. She also had habit of talking immoder. ately and when she could find nobody else to talk to she talked to herself. Her conversation was distinguished chiefly for it's irrelevancy. Then she had another and more troublesome habit of running away from home.
 All this was not convincing of de- fective mental condition until another witness told about her having formerly been incarcersted in the asylum.

FIRE AT PRESCOTT.
The Burning of w. c. Norton's
 Warehouse.
Loss About $4,OOO, Only Partially inSured-Origin of the Fire
 Unknown.

From the Prescott Courier:
 Saturday morning at o'clock W. C.. Norton & Co.'S double store and ware- house on Cortes street was discovered to be on fire in the interior. The building was a sheet iron covered frame 5Ox125 feet. The en ire fire department and throngs of people soon gathered in the vicinity of the fire, which was held within the iron walls for an incredible length of time, it's extent being only in- dicated by black volumes of smoke which darkeped the air on every side, and by the fierce heat given back by the heated iron covering. When the fire did appear it burst through the wooden front of the building with sul- len roar, great sheets of flame leaping across the street, threatening buildings on every side. and causing the fremen to work hard to save hose and carriages in front of the building. No amount of water or effort could have saved this structure, which, had it been built for 8 great furnace could not have filled the bill better while it lasted.
 The iron sheeting soon fell and the fire was gotten under control, not. how ever, before the frame residence on the north, occupied by Mrs. Harley as a lodging house, but owned by John

Special Officer McClaTty admonished him to moderate his. noise. He told him that times had changed since people from the range used to come in and shoot up the town. The cowboy replied, ''I'm here to make music and you stand out of the way of the procession and look on and listen." A few minutes later the officer having gone on up the street was alarmed by sound of shets. He hurried back and found that the cow boy having tried 10 shoot out some tobacco signs in front of the Monihon building had gone out of town.

 The surveying corps under Chief Engineer Kendrick is now at work in the Verde valley rapidly closing the final location of the canal; in few days this part of the work will be finished, when by direction and under the instructions of Donald W. Camp bell of Denver, Colo, the supervising engineer of the company, Mir. Ken drick will move his force of engineers to the Horse Shoe Bend on the Verde river where the great dam for the im- pounding of the company's storage water supply will be erected. With all possible rapidity the lines for the foun. dation of the dam will be run as we'll as of the tunnel through the projecting mountain on the west side of the river. This tunnel, fourteen feet in diameter, which will eventually contain the con- duits through which the company's stored water supply will pass, will per form an equally important funtion in the Construction company's operations during the summer. Through it Will be diverted the stream of the Verde river while the bed rock is laid bare and the masonry foundations of the dam structure are being put in place. The importance of MT. Campbell per sonal instructions on this part of the work has delayed action by the Con- struction company in this direction until duties elsewhere permitted his presence here in consultation. The work is now ready to proceed, and Mir. Campbell left Phoenix for his home in Denver last Friday.
