and G. o. Daley, representing the
Careys. The Careys secured a judg-
ment for $50 against Knoss for material
furnished in the construction of his
house, and levied on the homestead to
satisfy the judgment. Mr.. Schmitt
holds that the homestead cannot be
sold on debt for material and labor,

! MUST HAVE A GAS STOVE

Pectors and mining men generally this summer. It has long been re garded as a country having great cop per deposits. but heretofore it has been almost inaccessible Two railroads are now headed that way and it will sOCn be an easy matter to get into every part of the district.
 w. A. Clark of Montana has already got a footho.d there. Two Of his agents have just bonded the Blue Bell and AEex for S50,O00, and three other properties, the Dollie Gray, Gray Eagle and Centipeda for S51 ,00O These bends were taken for one year and work began June l.
 The fact that two sucl men at Pat rick Clark and W. A. Clark are to op- crate there will attract renewed at- tention to the Seven Devils district. CaPsum is the name of the new min ing town of the Seven Devils and it promises to be very lively place The Vaughn Bay is a calm on which a great strike was recently made. A tunnel has been run in 12O feet and 6 crosscut eighty feet, all in ore. It Is really a marvellous showing.
 It is more than probable the Seven Devils district will supply much great CT mines than the much heralded Buff fac Hump country will do in that line. Work is in progress on but three claims in the entire Hump dis trict. The country is dead so far as any general activity is concerned. The snow th~fe is very deep yet, and 1t will not be gone for over a month There ,an be no prospecting before July, even if then. In fact, it is snow cour try nearly the whole year round Mining can never be carried on there except under the greatest diff. faculties.

THE WATER PRESSURE
There is Sufficient for Ordinary
 Fire Purposes.

There is a great deal of needless alarm about the water pressure in l case of fire. As is well known, there is not just now a very strong pressure for ordinary purposes, but the water company is always ready to apply an extra one when a fire breaks out. This cannot be kept on the whole system, for the reason that a fire may call for it at any time. That is the reason some people are complaining that the water has hardly energy enough to run out of second story hydrants. This complaint will be met tomorrow night. certainly the next day. The company is engaged in sinking a temporary well, which is almost done, and then the whole system will be given a good pressure all the time. In the mean time work on the twenty-foot well will go on. It has been delayed by the want of a "shoe," which Manager Pratt expected would be shipped from San Francisco last night, but which was ordered weeks ago.
 Speaking of fire pressure. Stoker Thoman and Engineer CCbb read the gauge after the fire of Monday after noon and found that it had registered seventy pOlntS, which IS enough for all ordinary fire purposes.
 1-.e low water level IS about two months earlier than usual; or putting it another way, the level is lower now than it has ever been at this time Of year. There is in consequence some complaint of typhoid fever in na gh- bOrhOOds where there is one or more wells not far from a cesspool. The danger in the private well is net wholly in its impure surroundings Even an impure well, if frequently stirred, may not be deadly, but when only one family draws water from it, at com paratively long intervals, disease is invited

s5, BANK SWINDLE.
Telephone Message, Forged Cheek and
 Thieves Fooled the Teller

Louisville, Ky, June 13.-The Ger man Insurance bank of this city was victimiized by two young sharpers on Saturday. Just before closing time Ed nlund Rapp, assistant cashier and pay ing teller, was rung up by telephone.
 This is Edmunds, cashier of the Citizens National said a voice Gan you let us have s5,OOO in tens, twenties and ffties?"
 An affirmative reply was given and the voice said:
 All right, 1 will send two men around right away"
 A few moments later two well dressed young men, who looked like bank runners, appeared at Rapp's win dow and presented a check payable to tis order, signed William Edmunds, cashier" Rapp merely glanced at the check and handed out the money. Had he examined it more carefully he would have noticed that the signature was clumsy imitation. The fraud was not detected until clearing time, 1 o'clock today, by which time the sharpers were probably miles away The detectives tonight say that suspic- ion points to the sons Of two well known men.

 2 WHAT PEOPLE SAY :
&AAAANNNA N@ANNA &0

An insurance man: l doubt ii the improvement in the fire department will have any effect on the insurance rates. The laws enacted by the last legislature have worked hardships on the companies and the improved fire department only evens up matters.
 J. A. Kurtz: The outlook is bright for a good business summer. One of the best indications is that the pre- fessional men are renting tleir of fees permanently and show no dispo- sition to go to the coast. The people are learning that it does not pay to take ocean trips every year at the cx- pense Of their business.
 c. E. Goddard: Mutton brings q better price now than it has fer many years. It is unfortunate that there has not been more feed this year. The sheepmen would have had a splendid year. The recent rain had little effect on the ranges. Yet the sheep are not suffering and sheepmen are doing unusually well.
 A. H. Fulton: I once knew a man who said he hoped to see a bridge across the river at Tempe before he died. The poor fellow is dead. If he had lived a few years longer he would see it. That is a badly needed feature of Tempe and I understand that the road to Ingleside and continuing to Tempe will pass ever a bridge there over which wagons may pass. The man 1 referred to spent large part Of one night struck in the river and it was that incident which made the lack of a bridge seem so serious to him. venture to say there are others who lock at the matter seriously.

VAST MINERAL FIELD
Enthusiastic About inc Fu- lure of inc Territory.
Miles ". Gibbons Reviews inc nin- craI Development Of Arizona and
 Forecasts lis Early Future-Oid
 and New Promising Properties.

MT. Miles w. Gibbons, the well known mining expert, who has devot- ed his attention to the mineral inter ests Cf the territory for several years, is enthusiastic as to the remarkable progress now being made in all the mining districts of Arizona and the fla vorable opportunities at present offer ing themselves for the profitable in vestment of capital To Republican reporter yesterday MT. Gibbons said:
 ''At no time in the history of Ari- zona has there been so great activity in the mining interests of this vast mineralized section of the United States as in the current year, and while Colorado and other states have in the past taken the lead in the out put of the earth's treasures this terri tory is very fast coming to the front rank in the list While the Cripple Creek district of Colorado has world wide reputation as a vast stOrehOuse of wealth in the precious metals this has cnly been demonstrated by the most liberal investment cf millions of cap ital, as is indisputably true of all dfvi- dend paying mining sections of the globe, and yet we have in Yavapai county probably as rich a series of mineral districts as any yet developed in the world The attention of capi- tai seems to have been attracted now very largely through the efforts Of the enterpriSing journals of the territory as evidenced by the numerous repre- sentatives of investors and many in Vestors themselves who have been for the past few months looking carefully through our many attractive mining districts and indicating their faith in what they see by making liberal pur- chases of these properties or taking working interest in promising claims. Why indeed, should not this territory be exceedingly attractive to the man who seeks a safe and legitimate invest ment for his accumulation of money upon which he can only hope for meager return on investments in the east?
 E'The keen foresight and ability of Senator w A. Clark of Montana, who pinned his faith to an unknown cop per prospect has given us now the greatest of all copper producing mines Of the world.

CHINESE REBELS BEHEADED.
Summary Ending of the Uprising ill
 Row Loon.

Chicago, June 13.-A special to the Tribune from Vancouver, B. C., says: Passengers by the steamship Empress of Japan give 9 graphic description of the regellion in Row Loon. When the Empress passed up the coast from Hong Kong the passengers saw the ruins of many villages burned by Britishers as a warning tcf the rebel lious Chinamen
 Seventeen thousand natives were then in insurrection, and so seriously did affairs shape themselves on May 1G, that the Hong Kong volunteers were called to the front The Chinese were simply chased from village to will lage, with no show of resistance and the villages burned.
 A British surveying party, while surveying the route on the Yannan railway through China, were attacked and roughly handled.
 They fired their pistols once into the air as a warning, and then charged the mob. One Chinaman was killed and ten wounded All the Chinamen they cauld capture alive they handed over to tle governor Of the prefecture, with demand that they be punished. To the Britishers' surprise headsmen were sent for, while they waited, and before they could retire their forces the prisoners heads rolled into the baskets.
