HE FAVORS EXPANSION
One of Phoenix Largest Tax-PayerS
 Wants AddHionc Annexed.

Probably no owner of property in
 the city has wider range in the To-
 cation of his properties than A. Red
 ewill. After a careful examination into the conditions which would result upon the pursuance of the recent ex- pansion policy proposed by a large number of residents and non-residents, he has become an ardent sympathizeT with the movement.
 Speaking of a greater Phoenix he said:
 'I think that all the additions to Phoenix should be annexed to the city, the limits of which I hope. in time, to see extened from the Grand canal to the river. The inhabitants of the ed- ditions owe to Phoenix the high values of their properties The citizens of Phoenix have borne all the expenses of advertising the valley by induce ments given to capitalists to visit the city and valley, invest in real estate and improve the same
 IT we have today the location of the capitol, the Hotel Adams, the grand opera house, a system of water works, sewerage, electric railway, cement sidewalks, a great number Of pubic and private edif1ces like the Fleming block, the Ford hotel and other good structures, it is due princ1- pally to the energy, IberaIity and 'stTenous efforts advanced by the citi- zenS of our city.
 Now the inhabitants of the suburbs derive all the benefits of our exertions and outlay, and they should have a i portion of the expenses of beautifying and enlarging the city. Without Phoe- 1 nix their property would not command l one-fourth of it's present value. 1 own property in half a dozen additions and i am ready and willing to bear my pro rata of the expense which would be at tached to greater Phoenix. I have lots, which few years ago would only sell for $50, and Whlch today command price or S5OO. This is due entirely to

THE SANTA MARIA
Several Mining Properties Making Q
 Good Showing.

A Santa Maria cO~resp pendent Of the l JOurnal-Miner writes as follows:
 Among some of the most valuable
 mines in this district, with more or less | development work are the HOCsier Girl, owned by John Phillips and J. l. Gar diner of Prescott. the ledge being thir- teen feet wide all assays, a streak of eleven inches, by mill test returning
 S45 per ton. The Gold Bug, owned by Gardiner, CoIWell & Phillips has some
 good ore on the dump. At the face of
 the tunnel the ledge is four feet wide
 and samples S10 per ton. This is g
 gccd show for the company to put in
 machinery. The Neiman, owned by
 Charles Crosby and John Neiman,
 promises to be the mine of mines. Al
 130 feet they have four feet of ore
 which will mill well, eighteen inches
 of which will assay $50. They are talk
 ing out ore, some for shipping, some
 for arastraing A mine that pays it's
 way like the Neiman is a gclcd poor
 mans property, and although the boys
 are a little shoIt in a financial way
 just now, they will soon have snug
 bank roll. The Hattie and Ella, eX- tensions both ways from the Neiman, owned by Erwin P. Shults and Mrs. John Roberts. bid fair to be close sec ends for the Neiman. The ore assays good and work will be pushed on the claims J. D. Shipp, who owns the Sandy Girl. conternplates making q handsome sum out of his mine shortly as some very rich ore has been struck. J. D. and the Ariola boys, owners cf the extension, are proud of 1t, too. The Corrigan, owned by T. J. and others. have a two-foot ledge that assays from SIP to $52 The Chicago properties, owned by Hon. Nick Gales and A. G. Kennedy, shows up well for what work has been done, and machinery will be put on this property as soon as they are sufficiently developed. The Sultan. owned by the Sultan Gold Mining com- | pany. has several hundred feet of de velcpment work all of which shows that the mine is a second Congress. A large reduction plant will be put on this property in the near future. The | Girl, owned by J. R. Beat son. is the first south extension of the Sultan and is valued as second Sul- tan. The mine owned by Bill Noakes, small, shows lets of free gold and will bring a nice little bank account when a mill is put lip.

A MEDICAL AFFAIR.
A Treatment Destructive to Both
 Bacilli and Wallpaper.

The case Of J. w. Walker vs. the
 Phoenix Pneumo-C -Chemic sanatarium
 George B. Richmond, Dr. w L. Wood
 before Justice Gray yesterday after
 noon. This is an action for damages.
 A little more than a year ago the de-
 fendants leased the Vendcme hotel, owned by Mr. Walker, to be used in connection with the sanatarium. Pipes were introduced into it through which medicated air was pumped for the dis cCuragement of bacilIi which affect the air passages. This ali. is disseminated by means of instruments called nebu- liZerS, and takes the form of vapor. There is of necessity greater or less splattering upon surrounding objects and as the nebulizers are placed near the walls the wallpaper soon bears tes- timony to the conflict which is going oll between medical science and the bacilli A section of this wallpaper was brought into court and marked Plaintiffs exhibit A It Was also claimed that other damages had been inflicted on the building, curtains, gss fixtures and globes were gone or broken and couple of chairs were ab- sent An attempt was made by the parties to settle on February 1. An agreement was partially reached, hut the next day it was off Then the plain tiff brought suit to recover $130 for rent due, $125 for damages to the building, and $10 to cover the loss of the gas fixtures and chairs. Justice Gray will render judgment this morn ing

WHAT PEOPLE SAY. :


D. F. Kelly, superintendent of Man del Bros store, Chicago: After la tigueing business duties in Chicago, have taken this opportunity of spend ing several months in your valley, by way of recuperation. I must say that Il have never met with such a de- lightful climate. I am very fond of driving and have spent much of my time in driving about your beautiful valley. A trip to the orange grove impressed me very much and the brac- ing atmosphere is a wonderful stimu Jus to the nerves. It is certain that if the many wOrn-Out business men of Chicago could form the slightest con ception of your winter climate they would undoubtedly avail themselves of the earliest opportunity to come here instead of seeking rest in Europe and other reputed places. They do not know that they are within three days travel of just what they are seeking. I was in the west five years ago, but have heard little of Phoenix until the last two years. The knowledge Ot your magnificent climate is now rapidly disseminating in the' east. With all due deference to California and it's beautiful residences, must say you surpass them in delightful and health-giVing weather. I have some relatives who live in California and who come to Arizona, as I have, 10 spend a season of recuperation.

there were four fires in this town and

were stolen by the gang under the lead

Cranbury.

Much Dissatisfaction is being felt in
Cranbury over the new stone road In
the first place the popular feeling is that
the road bed was not laid deep enough.
and when the road is finished, in many
places it will be from one to four inches
higher than the sidewalks, making it
very rounding and extremely difficult to
drive over. Then no grade has been es
tablished whatever, and the entire road
is series Of ups and downs. Another
exception, taken by many, is the fact
that although the contract called for each
layer of stone to be fastened with DOW
dered stone binder, yet the road commit.
tee allowed the contractors to use dirt in
stead oft. Then again, Commissioner
Budd positively declined to consider the
road at all until the road to the station
was Strengthened. Since 1t was SURVEYED
and damages awarded to the property
holders its course has been changed sew
eral times until it now contains more
curves and crooks than it did in the first
place. 1t would seem that it would have
been about as sensible to have placed the
macadam on the old road and saved the
expense to the county.-Home News.
