in favor of it a. the n.eefjng the night

Now that the fever is On there is a
growing sentiment in favor of annex

progressive towns do.
L. ]. Rice, who lives at THE eastern
limit Of Collins addition, not only
wants to be annexed at that point, but
would like to have the proposed north

OF alfalfa owned by him. He would
not expect to receive any special mu-

Mr.. Randolph was asked.

vote much attention to it, he re-
Bryan's effort to put ring through
the noses Of the business interests.
He assaulted these interests in 1896, to
the best of his ability. and now he is
at it again. Bryan has failed to show
that he knows the difference between

they can do so with mere consistency.
Some of the biggest trusts in the coun-

You win notice that Bryan has less

of public sentiment.

Contribution of Gen. a. J. Sampson

General A ]. Sampson, United States
minister to Ecuador, even az SO great
a distance as his residence In South
America, keeps ever in mind his Arr
IONA home and her INSTITUTE ons. public
and private. as well as his personal
friends.
The latest Testimonial of his inter
est in local affairs was the receipt a
day or two ago from him, by DR.. J.
Miller, superintendent of the insane
asylum, of a large box containing
specimens of the lava product of Co
tCpaxi, the largest volcano in the
western hemisphere. He requests that
the specimens to be divided beI.wean the
Phoenix high schools, the territorial
university and the Altoona Historical
society, of which DIR. Miller is presi-
dent A collection of birds peculiar
to that country also accompanied the
geological specimens. DR.. Miller states
that the only expense that will be in
cured by the above named institu-
-tions in the securing of their quota of
the collection is the transportation
charges from Phoenix to the scheels.
which will amount to very little.
General Sampson accompanied the
shipment by a letter to DR.. Miller en-
closing the following description of
the specimens:

account of their tendency to insist on
a division of Murphy addition.
They have offered no ether excuse
for the division yet than a wish to
keep the block outside the limits. It
is pointed out that that would not
lessen the disorder there nor remove
the region any farther from the center
of Phoenix than it is now: it is also
shown that they need not maintain
the block within the limits unless they
want 10 Dc SO. They expelled it once

A WORD FOR ARIZONA

The Mail and Express of New York
contains the following mention of an
interview with Mr.. Charles C. Ran

now in New York:
Mr.. Charles c. Randolph, proprietor
of The Arizona Republican, published
at Phoenix. Arizona, is staying at the
Waldorf. Astoria Mr. Randolph was
for years connected with several east

mand for copper has attracted general
attention TO the enormous supplies of
copper in the territory and capital is
seeking investments in all the we'll
known fields and even in districts
quite remote. The mining centers are
crowded and a vast amount of devel-
opment work is being done. 80
ARIZONA now stands third in the
list of copper producing regions, and
it is mere than likely that in a few
years it will be first Although the
est deposits have hardly been dis
trrhed- If copper maintains its pres

there does not appear to- be any like
Hhood that the demand win decrease

copper mines will reap a rich harvest.
Legitimate mining in the territory has.
lately been afforded substantial aid
through the issuance by Governor
Murphy of a warning to investors to
look cut for fake mining schemes.
There are many legitimate PROPOSE
tions in the territory, and investiga-

the good ones.

Five More INJUNCTION Suits Against
The Wafer Company.

Another lot of water cases were filed
yesterday by Kibbey & Edwards This
time the Salt River Valley Canal com
pany was the defendant There were
five actions in which the plaintiffs
were George u Collins, Willard L.
Collins, Francis c. Norris, Charles R.
Mcdonald and Gabriel Stickley. The
same facts were alleged in all the
complaints and were similar in sub
stance to those of the complaint of
Geld against the Maricopa Canal com
pany and nearly the same as the facts
alleged in the case Of Slosser against
the Salt River Canal company.
In the complaint CT George U. Col
Inns it is stated that he has been res
ident Of the valley for seventeen
years; that in 1872 his predecessors
in interest, that is the owners If the
land Now held by him, appropriated
water from the Salt river and conduct
ed it to the land through the Farmers
ditch. An arrangement was made
after the constructors Of the defen-
dant's canal by which the water should
be delivered through it on the pay
ment for the services AMI complying
with the reasonable rules and reguIa-
tons of the company. This arrange
ment was maintained until the plain
blH made his last application for
winter water accompanied by a tender
OF $112.50 in payment of the seventy
five inches he had been getting. His
application was denied, for the reason
that he bad neglected to purchase or
rent a water right. His petition en-
braces two other causes of complaint
regarding the rejection of his appH-
cation for other tracts of land. In
