Prot Blake, president CT the de-
partment of mining and geology in
our territorial University, arrived in
Mesa last Friday morning on a special
leave of absence. The primary object
Of his visit was to note the topogra-
rhy and geological formation of the
country and the adjacent mountains
with a view of determining the pos-
s'bilities st obtaining artessian ian water
in this valley. He visited Gold6ela
and made some r.otes on the miner
illogical formations of that section.
He also visited the head of the Con-
solidated, and the power house, and
on Monday in company with DR.. A.
J. Chandler, he visited the mountains
and the country south of Mesa, re-
turning home to Tucson Monday
night. Prof. Blake is recognized as
one of the most accomplished geool-
gusts and mineralogists in ths United
States, and has nary times been sent
by the government on missions IN his
line to other countries. On his re-
port Alaska was bought by this gov
ernment. The Prof. will favor US i

basis OF these figures that the United

the worlds school children, and expend
one-half of the worlds outlay for edu-

abolish the absurdlty OF having three
heads for the army in the shape Of the
secretary Of war. the adjutant general
and the general commanding" We are
not so sure that there Is any absurdity

The management Of the navy has
