Mineral Creek, over in Pinal county, promises to become one of the great est copper camps in the territory. A project is now on foot to open a wagon road from Mesa to that district. The distance by the present travelled road by way of Florence and Riverside is at least eighty miles,. By the proposed route by way of Pinal the distance would be shortened to sixty miles. Of this distance fully forty-five miles is over a level country. For ten miles beyond Pinal there is now a good wagon road so that there is but about six miles of road to be built to connect this place with the coming great cop per district. The Globe road, too, should be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. It is good busi- ness policy for Mesa to see to it that good roads over the most direct and feasible routes are constructed to the great outlying mining camps Mesa Free Press.

At any rate, we are intending to see i; the test will certainly be made.
 Yes, I know that there is another theory advanced, that bleeding all the lands to the territory that she may do us she pleases with them.
 But all kindred acts and efforts of this kind, as their history proves, most emphatic failures. The territory could not reclaim them. They would be "white elephant" on her hands, and they would sooner or later become the subject of barter at the corporate bargain counter and the people would get the worst of it.
 The history of the ceded swamp lands in sixteen states of the union is suffici- ent warning on this line. No, I want none of that.

Lecture on the Nicaragua Canal.
From the Globe Times.l


 Last Sunday evening at the Method- ist church A. P. Davis of the hydro graphic survey delivered lecture on Nicaragua. The lecturer helped sur vey the route for ship canal from Breto on the Pacific to Greytown on the Caribbean Sea, and believes this route will be determined upon, al- though another survey will be made on the Nicaragua route as well as on the Panama. An appropriation of $1,000,000 is available to definitely settle this important connection with the Atlantic. The lecturer Is impress sed with the feasibility of the route through Nicaragua, although much longer than by way of Panama, and the engineering obstacles are not so great. The flow of water from Nicaragua lake and the rivers has been settled to the satisfaction of the surveyors. Mir. Davis will lecture in Los Angeles next week on this subject and proceed to Washington, where he will join the commission and make another survey.

Beware of the tale-bearer and the gossipers, says an exchange. Shun them as you would the devil. When you do have to listen take their tales with many grains of salt, for news second hand is no news. It is the aim of the tale-b bearer to make trouble, and word carelessly dropped will be magnified and told perhaps to dear friend. Friends then become enemies. This is what the tale bearer and gos- siper glories in. The bigger the scan- dal the sweeter the morsel he or she will have to roll under the tongue. Every town has it's full quota of these busy bodies. They come to your home and tell you exaggerated news ID that if believed would cause the cutting of a friendship that has perhaps existed all your life. Don't believe every thing you hear and only one-half what yod see" is an old but true saying. Follow it and there will be more friends than enemies on this earth. It is as natural for some people to gossip and carry tales as it is for a duck to swim. They are the kind you should look out for. Don't let them convince you that the "moon is made of green cheese"

Aeood Policy.
From the Tucson star.l

General J. F. Wilson has returned from his visit to the proposed site of the Butte's reservoir. He made care ful examination of the same and says there is no room for doubting the feasi- bility of the dam and the impending of water sufficient to irrigate at least 100000 acres of land contiguous thereto. One of the important feat ures of the building of this reservoir is the fact that it will supply water in abundance for the Indians on the Pima aud Maricopa reservations, which will enable those Indians to become not only self sustaining, but they will soon become well established in homes and they will then come to citizenship by accepting their lands in severalty, that they will become taxpayers and assist in bearing the expense of gov ernment, as we'll as becoming import ant industrial factors of the commun- ity, thus determining the final settle ment of the Indian question.

The Mineral Greek District.
From the Globe Silver Belt.l

Thos. Kavanaugh and Frank Gill returned last Friday from Mineral Creek, where they have been doing contract work for Murray Innes, hay ing sunk the shaft from 25 feet to the depth of 125 feet, l09 feet of the shaft being through sulphide ore. Frank Gill has taken the contract to sink 75 feet farther, aud when completed, cross-cutting will be begun to deter mine the width of the ledge. MT. Hopkins is partner of Murray Innes, and it is evident that they have big mine.
 Messrs. Gill and Kavanaugh re- turned to Mineral Creek on Monday. They are interested, with w. II. Tender and ". B. Collom, in group of claims lying contiguous to the Innes property on which they will begin de- velopment.
 Mineral Creek is coming to the front fast. The Globe Minerals Explora- tion Co.,, limited, an English concern, which has a bond on the Ray property, is working about fifty men and will without much doubt purchase the Ray mines. They have also secured options on other claims adjacent. Zeckendorf & Co.,, of Tucson, evidently have faith in the camp, as they are erecting a store building, and there are three saloons doing business there. There are about one hundred men at work in the immediate vicinity.
 About two miles from Mineral Creek Tom Haley and his partner have some mines which are very promising. The ore is lead carbonate.
 With the present activity and sev- eral fine showings in the Mineral Creek district the building of the rail- road in the near future is considered a probability. The most feasible route is to Red Rock, on the Southern Pa ci6c, but considering the advantages ot competing rates road via Florence Mesa and Tempe to Phoenix might be favored.

IT will surprise some people to learn that the United Verde copper mines of Arizona paid bigger profit last year than did the Calumet and Hecla mines of Michigan. Prof. G. A. Treadwell of Arizona, who is stockholder in the United Verde, recently said: "It will surprise some people to learn that the dividends or profits of the United Verde, in copper alone, for the year 1898 were $S,6OO, 1000, as against the Cal umet- Helca's $5,OOO,0OO. Of the gold and silver product annually of the United Verde none but few on the inside know anything about"

LIQUID air has been used for blast ing purposes as an experiment by Linde of Munich, near Cologne, Ger many, the trial being reported to be successful. Details are lacking, but Mir. Linde has gone to Switzerland, where the new method of blasting by liquid air is to be adopted in running the Simplon tunnel. With the success ful operation of this experiment new field is open to the uses of this dis covery.

Date Palms for Arizona.

The most expert pathologist of the agricultural department, Dr. Zwingle, is now in Morocco on mission that the department hopes will launch a new and profitable industry in the most arid sections of our southwest. It has been found that date palms, with some irrigation, will grow as well in Arizona as in Arabia. The early Mormon settlers proved this, but the trees were not of the best variety and never developed the indus try. Dr. Zwingie is selecting the finest varieties best adapted to our arid region. These young trees will be carefully shipped to Arizona, where they will be cared for under the close superintendence of the department's experts.

SIX YEARS BACK.
Mr.. Weilman May Receive a Large
Sum.

,, Mr.. Wellman's people who are at
work on the county records looking for
untaxed property give it out that
they do not expect to receive half of
any taxes that may come in as result
of their work except the first year that
these come in, 1t appears, however.
that they will claim one-half of the
back taxes for six years past, where
property that is owing back taxes is
found This is APT to make a large
sum- For instance, if $40, 900 in taxes
should come in as result of few
months labor on the part of Mr.. Well.
man and his co-laborers, they will
claim $50 900 as their share
The point has been raised by attor-
neys of this city that the county board
cannot pay out city and state taxes on
per centage to tax collectors. In other
words, the county board, if it has au-
thority to have taxes collected on a per
centage basis that authority does not
extend beyond that portion of the taxes
that is destined for the county funds.
1t cannot take money that is due the
city or state and pay it out for any pur.
pose.
AS the board has contracted to give
Mr.. Wellman one-half of all the taxes
that may come in as a result of his
work in listing property for taxation,
it is question whether the county is
not bound to make good what cannot
be taken from the city and state col
lections, by taking an additional sum
from the county fund.
While the subject is up, attorneys
remark that an injunction to restrain
the county from paying more than the
reasonable worth of the work done by
Mr.. Wellman ct al. would hold good in
the courts. They say that the county
cannot farm out the collection of taxes
on the per centage basis.
Six years back taxes are apt to foot
up to large sun, as the diligence of
Mr. Wellman's workers is said to be
great. That the work undertaken
through them by the county board is a
good one does not admit of contradic-
ton, and the only criticism heard is
that it may turn out that the board was
more liberal than it thought or than it
had legal right to be.

A HOT CONTEST.
Judges Unable to Decide Between Two
Rival Corn HarVesters.

The contest Monday afternoon at
Mr.. Patrick McTighes farm Ia Mankato
township, between the Mccormick and
Deering corn harvesting machines, was
witnessed by Mayor Currier and quite
a number of our citizens, besides many
farmers from the neighboring country
The judges were five in number, two,
Henry Heinzeman, of Mankato town
shi, and Henry Trask, of Belgrade, Sc.
lected by the Mccormick people; two,
Lewis Arnold, of Mankato township,
and Ira Romack, of Tivoli, chosen by
the Deering company agents, and Mr..
G. N. Englerth, of Eagle Lake, agreed
on by the other four judges.
General Agent w. R. B. Smyth had
charge of the Mccormick forces and
General Agent Jno. A. White Of the
opposition. The contest was ''for blood
from the start, as Mr.. McTighe agreed
to purchase the machine that he
thought did the best work.
The Deering led out by making one
''round" of half mile, and then the
Mccormick followed with the same.
Both machines did almost perfect work
from the start. Each missed bind ing
but one bundle on the first round"
Although the afternoon was very
warm the machines were closely fol-
lowed by the judges and many Of the
spectators. After two hours of hard
work, during which time both ma
chimes were tested by the judges for
every point of merit or weakness that
they might possess, the judges were
unable to decide on the winner, and de-
clared the contest draw.
Mr.. Englerth, the fifth or deciding
Judge, said that it was impossible for
him to decide which was the better
machine, as the especial points of
merit in one were evenly matched by
others of equal Importance in the other.
AS matter of fact both machines did
most excellent work.
Mr.. McTighe purchased the Deering
machine at the close of the contest, his
son having driven both machines, first
one and then the other, during the trial.

MANDAMUS ARGUED.
A. E. Clark Presents Reasons Why Pc.
liccmen Should Get $50.

The writ of mandamus to compel
City Recorder Williams to sign the $50
salary warrants of the police was argu-
ed beforeJudgeSeveranceTuesday fore
noon, A. E Clark appearing for Officer
Kelley and tie police and City Attor-
ney Daily for the police. Mr. Clark
took the ground that the charter pro-
vides no specific term of office for the
police and that therefore the charter
provision that salaries shall be fixed in
April does not apply to these officers.
If the provision does apply. Mr.. Clark
took the ground that as every officer
continues to serve for two years or un-
til his successor is appointed and quail
fies, the terms of the four who have
held over from Mayor Pfau's term have
not yet expired.
Mr.. Daily spoke briefly in regard to
the condition of the city, and the court
took the matter under advisement.
