DEATH OF A PIONEER.
George Monroe Expires at Wick5n
 burg on Thursday Night.

George Monroe died at Wickenburg of a fever on Thursday might after short illness. When he died one of the earliest and most active of Ari- zona pioneers, if net the very ear Hest, TOW living passed away. He is believed to have come to the terri tory with the military in 1S63 Al ter his mili tiary service was finished he went into the neighborhood of Wickenburg. He had made that his headquarters fer nearly a third of a century. He had been identified with many of the most important mining strikes in Yavapai county He is said to have been a member of the first party that went into the Bradshaws and he was the first operator on what has since been called Groom creek. named after Robert Groom, himself an Arizona antiquity. Monroe was the discoverer of what is now called the Amazon group of mines, owned by MT. Groom. He was also the discov- erer of the Castle Greek hot spring. The manner of the discovery is doubt full, for early events in this territory are yelled in mist that is little bet ter than tradition. The pioneers did not mean to lie about thinps. They were clear enough to them at the time, but what with drinking whisky to ward off home sickness, fighting Apanhes and engaging in daily thrill ing events, an occurrence of one day was quickly pushed into the past and became blurred. Thus the pionee CTS obtained the reputation of liars and the Tabled effect of the waters Of the Hassayampa had its origin.
 One story of the finding of the h-ot springs is that Monroe, pursued by a band of Apaches, fled up a gulch and penetrated it farther than white man CT Indian had ever gore before. Far ther than the white men had gone. be- cause they had never been led in that direction, and farther than the Ind ans had gone because they had heard of something fearful a-d mysterious within the impenetrable recess
 Another story less romantic is that Poker Johnson, who represented that he knew every foot ob 1he country, had told party of prosnact ors, of whom Monroe was one, of a short cut to Prescott. In followine Ati- OOiihSNh uII0Cl IoUn UQSy wan dered about in the Bradslhaws for sev- eral days and accidentally came upon the spring.
 Monroe during all his life in the ter ritory has been engaged in mining or prospecting. At the time of his death he was the owner of tn Picacho mine. about fourtesn miles this side of Wickenburg. An account of a strike in it which promised to make him a rich man was published in The Re publican not long ago. The pioneer was past sixty years of age. He has only one living relative in the terri tory, and so far IS is known nome any where else. He leaves many friends in Phoenix, who though they krew him fer many years and heard him speak Of the past, have forgotten what state he came from, but they believe he was a native of New York. One thing that made him a unique figure in the early days was that he was an ardent republican. He was known as an honest man and faithful to his friends.

HOT FOOT BALL TODAY.
The Huachucas and the Phoenix Eleven at the Park.

The Fort Huachuca foot ball players sn charge of Lieutenant H. Tupes Of the Fifteenth infantry arrived in town yesterday morning and went to their quarters at the Hotel Adams. In the afternoon they went out to the park to practice and get acquainted with the ground. A great deal Of time was spent by them in geuping ac- uuainted with each other and in ac- uuiring proficiency in the sign lan- guage, from which Phoenix experts who went out to get a line. on the wis itors infer that a great deal of head work is going to enter into today's game and that it will not be won by brute strength and awkwardness.
 The Huachucas are a gentlemanly lot of fellows and they say that if they cannot play a clean game they do net care to play. The Phoenix team has always enjoyed a good reputation for clean playing, so that there is likely to be nothing offensive in today's con test.
 - It is useless to make conjectures re- garding the result The Phoenix play CTS believe that they will win, rot, perhaps, by better playing at the out set, but by being able to hold together longer However, nothing at all is known of the visitors adhesive ca pability and that may be the.r really long suit. The Huachucas have de- cided advantage in weight. Their av- craze on the line Is ITO pounds, while the Phoenix eleven is ten pound : lighter But while weight counts, it does not always win. The conffdenc of the Phoenicrans is a hopeful sign

Engineers Going to China.
SchuylkilI County Men Getting Ready to
Leave TOR the FIowery Kingdom.

AT last an engineer has been found
who will venture to go to China to
work on the railroads Of the Flowery
Kingdom, says the Daily Repu6Aean.
Jonathan Bull, Jr., of Port Carbon, an
extra engineer on the P. & R. railroad,
has arranged to 60 to China next
week to man one of the Baldwin en-
gines recently purchased by officials
Of that country. The engine is a
compound with eight foot drivers, and
similar in construction 10 the one
owned by the P. & r. Co, and is
numbered 1927. Mr.. Bull will be ac-
companied by Else Strangburg, inside
foreman at the Chamberlain colliery,
WHO will act as his fireman. The new
men going to China are selected with
care by Frank Simons, of Cressona,
who has had considerable experience
in hiring men. If the men engaged
like their work after three months
trial, they will be asked to sign a con-
tract for five years. The wages to be
paid range as follows For engineers,
$II per day; firemen, S.; conductors,
$1o; and brakemen, SIS per day. In
order to have the men remain in
China, one half their pay is retained
until the end OF the five years, when
they will receive the balance in gold
This computed on the amount an en-
gineer would earn, providing he would
make full time, would equal $I7I6 a
year, and for the five years total ol
$3.50. We understand that boarding
in China, American style, would be
somewhat less than in the United
States.
The men will go by way of Sar
Francisco and will occupy about three
weeks in reaching their destination
They will be furnished with transpor
tation.-Ashland Telegram.

1t is supposed that brunettes possess
