A Wreck.

Last Saturday morning about
three o'clock freight train came
in from the east. The engine went
to the round house and the ward
engine took hold of the train. The
conductor told Jack Willis, the
rear brakeman, to look out for a
train that was following and then
went to the Office with his reports.
The train was so heavy that the
yard engine could not handle all Of
it, so it was cut in two and the rear
end was left on the main track.
Willis, instead of watching for the
other train put out all the lights in
the caboose and went to bed. The
other train, which had Charlie
Osgood for an engineer, came
along. When he reached the yard
Osgood tried tho air brakes, found
he had the tram under control, saw
there was no light on the main
track and so came along. Sudden.
ly the headlight flashed on the rear
of the caboosc, osgood applied the
emergency brake but he was too
close 10 Tho train in front aud
smashed into it. The caboose was
entirely destroyed, the biggest
piece left not being SIX feet square.
The cars in front of the caboose
were smashed and when the slack
of the following train was taken up
two of its cars were smashed. In
some unaccountable way Willis
slid out of the window of the
caboose and landed on the ground
unhurt. The wreck caught fire,
but bucket brigade was organized
and the fire was soon CONTROLLED.

There is at present about l18
miles of irrigatlng canals and main
bitches, not including the Lateral
bitches which will make the total
several times this amount. This
gives ample water to assure crops
for about $4,000 acres. When the
Enterprise canal is finished it will
water several thousand acres of
rich table and bottom land. 1t
has been estimated that a quarter
of million acres of additional land
could be irrigated if storage dams
were built. This could be done
in several places, notably at the
narrows about Is miles from SAT.
ford where a box canyon exists
through which the river passes.
1t is from this point the Enterprise
company are building their canal.
Graham county covers an area
of 1000 square miles.
The ella valley is IS miles from
the narrows to the eoge of the res.
ervation, with an average width of
bottom lands of two miles, the dis
lance between the foot hills being
six miles. The valley is fanked
on the north by the Gtila mountains
and on the south by the Graham
mountains, Mount Graham being
the highest peak, with an altitude
of ten thousand feet above sea level.
Although but little prospecting
has been done in either the ella
or Graham mountains, the few
properties which have been de-
veloped show that the ore body
is practically inexhaustable; while
copper predominates, there is both
gold and silver in paying quantities
1t is virgin field for both the
minor and captaltlst and one which
promises grand results.
The two principal mining com.
panies are the Detroit, at Morenci,
and the Arizona Copper Company,
at Clifton. The former employees
800 men and the latter 600.
The output of the Arizona comp,
any is 20 tons of copper per day
and of the Detroit about 10 tons
per day. These two companies
alone pay out for labor about $780,.
900 annually.
Experts are at present prospect
ing near Saffoad for coal.

The agricultural resources of the
ella valley are both varid and ex-
tensive, comprising an area OF
arabic land of which there is at
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 10000 acres which is
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat,
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de-
cidious andcertain classes Of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home of
alfalfa, of which from 4 to 5 crops
are grown yearly, yielding from S
to 8 tons per acre. 1t is not as
stocky as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolifcly, the former containing a
very large amount Of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than IN the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and Hill lands are
adapted to all of the products of
the temporal zone, and many of
the fruits of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed.
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with a sur
prising rapidity. The peaches in
appearance and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some of
the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests now show
that canagrie root, which flourish.

LAW OF LIBEL
FOR AND AGAINST
Interesting Arguments in the
Charge OF Libel Against
Lawrence.
Judge Campbell Will Take Till jan
uary Before Rendering
His Decision.

All day yesterday Judge Campbell
listened to the arguments of counsel
in the criminal libel charge against A.
NJ. Lawrence of the Examiner, prose-
cuted at the instance of Claus Spree
kels.
a bench warrant had been issued
Friday for the defendants arrest, as
he failed to appear in court, made re-
turnable yesterday morning at 1C
o'clock, and he was there promptly or
time.
Attorney Grove L. Johnson for the
prosecution opened the argument and
contended that the Penal Code of this
State amply covered the case without
the necessity of going outside the
State. He quoted in support of his
contention sections 24s, $50 and 253 OF
the code, particularly the first named
1t had been proved that the article
complained of was libelous upon its
face ana therefore malice was pre-
sumed.
The defendant, as managing editor
must be held responsible for the publ
cation of the libelous article, and il
was no defense that he was at the
theater that night and did not know
of its publication till some weeks
later.
Attorney Garrett McEnerney, for the
defendant, argued at considerable
length that there must be in the publ
cation of libelous article the intent &c
willfully injure, vex, harass and annoy
the person libeled, and in this case NJ
such intention had been shown. HC
quoted numerous authorities in support
of his argument, but when Attorney
Johnson rose to reply he presented al
overwhelming mass Of authorities tbs
other way.
Johnson said that ii was TO prevent
men from escaping punishment fol
libel that the Penal Code was enacted
No man could escape responsibility by
stopping in New York and delegatine
his authority To another. Nor could =
man escape punishment by going t.
the theater. The only defense was jus
tifiable motive, and that was lacking il
the case.
Libel" said the attorney. "fs the
meanest, most cowardly and most con
temptible thing a man can be guilty of
Is it 10 he supposed that man pos
sessed of some type and a printing
press can print that which he would
not dare to say to a mans face in tbs
public streets. The courts must protect
men whose regulations have been at
tackled by the libeler, or they will b.
compelled to take the law into then
own hands"
The Judge said he would like to have
ample time to examine the authorities
quoted by counsel, and reserved his de
cision till Saturday, January s.
