Transfer of Money from Contingent
 Fund Recommended.


 Fund Recommended.
 The board of finance held regular meeting last night, but as only four members were present not much busi- ness was transacted aside from ap- proving the usual budget of bills. The bill of Herbert c. Keith for $1,750 for designing the steel superstructure of the Chapel street drawbridge was to have been taken from the table for con- sideration, but it was decided to wait until the entire board was present be- fore taking the bill from the table, where it has been since the last pre- vious meeting. The board voted to rec ommend the transfer of about $400 from the contingent fund to pay Prosecuting Attorney Niles and to meet some other bills. The board yesterday afternoon visited Springside home and inspected the institution and the farm. The visit was made partly with a view to obtain ing an idea of the estimates which will be required for the home.

BRYAN DID NOT TESTIFY
ASKED VAR INVESTIGATING con-
 MISSION TO EXCUSE HIM.

Stated That He Had No Doubt the Com-
 missioners' Would Understand tho
 Reasons for the Request-The Colonel
 Was Excused-Cause of the Congestion
 of Cars at Tampa at Beginning of War.
 Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 2O.-The war Investigating commission concluded it's labors at Jacksonville tonight. and shortly after 10 o'clock left Jackson Vile for Atlanta, expecting to take up business there. The commissioners are generally pleased with the result of their labors here. They have naturally met with complaints. Generally. one private or commissioned officer from each regiment has been called, but in some cases more than one In the case or enlisted men they were selected at random. There were occasional corn- plants of defects in clothing or re- quest for a greater variety of food, but in no instance has spirit of fault-find- ing been developed among this class of witnesses. In some cases a deficiency of supplies at the beginning of the camps history was shown, and there has been more or less tainted meat re- ceived by the men, but it was agreed by all the witnesses that the first con- dltion was due to the congestion at Tampa and the latter to the climate.
 Lieutenant Morrow, acting commits sary of the Third Nebraska, Colonel Bryan's regiment, testified to the gen. erally good character of the commissa- ry supplies. He mentioned one or two instances when poor bacon had been received and said there was occasional complaint from the men, though not of serious character.
 Colonel w. J. Bryan was next called. He asked to be excused from testifying, requesting that his lieutenant colonel be examined in his stead. You will, I have no doubt, understand my reasons for the request" he said. T think the request very proper and reasonable'' responded Governor Beaver and as the entire commission consented Colonel Bryan was excused, with the request to send up his lieutenant colonel
 General McCook and Colonel Saxton returned to-day. They found the con- gestion that occurred at Tampa at the beginning of the war was due to the fact that cars were shipped from all over the country without being labelled and without forwarding bills of lading.

A Queer Mountain.

Mr.. J. A. Rhodes, a mining man, who
is at present in our city, and who has
travelled consid erably in Lower Cali
fornia and On the great desert, tells Of
one of the strangest phenomena of the
desert, known as the Bramador, or roar
ing mountain, near the mouth of the
Rio Colorado. He says this mountain
has an altitude of some $500 feet, and
is not far from where the extensive sul4
phur deposits are being developed.
Some time ago, when the work of min
ing sulphur first commenced, the super
intendent was surprised to hear heavy
explosion, not unlike an underground
blast, and rushed up to the works, fear-
ing that the worliingmen were blasting
II the deposits-not wise thing to do.
In response to his inquiry one of the
men, an Indian, pointed toward the
high mountain and muttered "El Bra
mador." It seems that this mountain
is still in an active state, although there
is no exterior evidence Of eruption.
These explosions sometimes occur as
frequently as twice in one day, and the
dull, heavy booming of tie report may
be heard for miles. The only theory
advanced is that the accumulated
gases down deep within the Bramador
find vent at the volcano, or mud yol-
canoea, several miles distant, though
The report OF the discharge emanates
from within the mountain. The super
stitious indians believe that in the
heart, Of the mountain an immense
forge exists, where demons are unceass
inely at work without rest or respite Of
any kind Prospector.

that the case has not yet been reached,

When the case was tried in the lower
court, and while the people and the at

Mr.. Ronney, editor of the Arizona
Trailer, announced the demise of his
journalistic venture in the following
unique language: "This is the last issue

weep; but throughout all the length
and breadth of Gaaham county we find
no. tears to mingle with the salty ones
that drip over our sorrel mustache. The
Trailer came to fill long felt want,
and want was its portion throughout
all its short and troubled life. Meekly
and with contrite spirit we admit that
we made mistakes, and the tears flow
faster when we realize that we are the
only newspaper man in Arizona to
make this fatal error, and the only one
in Graham county irrespective Of oc-
cupation; and perhaps the worst mis-
take was to have lived at all Hence
we will perish. If, while an editor, we
said anything real mean-well, what is
the use to apologize, now that ne are
about to cease to exist? If we have

The Future of WinslOw.

| The prospects of Winslow we're never
brighter than at the present time. The
number of new buildings that arc be-
ing erected, rs proof positive that our
town is growing and growing rapidly.
But, this is only starter There are
other Developments going On quietly,
and Of which nothing has been said,
that assures still greater growth. A
growth that will be solid, lasting and
Substantial. We venture the assertion
that the day is not far distant when
Winslow viii be the center of a large
and prosperous agricultural commun-
lity. No town or city can become per-
.manently prosperous, that is depen-
dent on transient or migratory popu-
lation for its support. What is needed
to secure such result is fixed people
people who are producers and not
consumers altogether-who are not
( here to-day and gone tomorrow. When
a town has an agricul tural and stock
raising country to back it up, it can
safely be said that it will grow, and that
the growth will come to remain. Capt.
tai can be invested in such place with
a reasonable certainty of returning a
handsome profit on the investment.
Such place Winslow is certain to be-
come

French and Fred NJ French, have been
at work quietly, fer the past two months
taking ditch, fifteen feet in width on
the bottom, commencing OF, the Little
Colorado river, short distance below
the railroad bridge, and say they will
have it completed in very shoet time,
TIE cut near the river is from seven to
eight feet in depth. After leaving the
river half mile, a lower level is struck
that runs down the river for % or 80
miles, with natural fall that will in
sure good flow from the mouth of the
ditch as far as they care to take it. The
land that will be reclaimed by this
ditch, they claim, is much better on the
north than that on the south side of
the river and it has been clearly estab-
lished by actual test that tie fend or
the south side will produce almost any
thing that can be raised in a temperate
zone. They claim they will haze a suf-
ficient flow Of water to Irrigate from
