GRAHAM COUNTY NEWS.
From the Bulletin:

From the Bulletin:
 Whooping cough, measles and pneu- mona are prevalent in Gila valley, and many deaths have resulted, mostly among children. The public school at Ft' Thomas has been closed.
 The Black Rock reservoir and irriga- ton company has been organized in Graham county to build storage reser- yoirs in the mountain for the purpose of retaining large tracts of land in the Gila valley.
 Monday morning Alexander Bros. began moving the six cars of heavy mining and milling machinery for the spenazuma Gold Mining < Milling company to Black Rock, and they ex- pect to have the machinery operating within 50 days. There will be both Q smelling and concentrating plant of large capacity. Development work on the mines is progressing very rapidly under the management of the new and efficient general manager, Prof. M. P. Bough, of Pueblo, Colorado.
 There are now on the payrells of the Arizona Copper company over 1000 names, and about 500 on those of the Detroit company at Morenci.
 It is reported that the Detroit cop per company at Merenci will shortly install an 500 h. P. gas plant at their works there. This move is rendered necessary by the enormous ore bodies that are constantly being opened up in the mines of this company.
 Wiley E. Jones is expected to return to Somonyille about the middle of Feb ruary, and it IS understood that he will be appointed district attorney, Mir. Rawlins the present incumbent of the office having signified his intention of resigning in Nr. Jones favor.
 The Arizonian, published at Stafford, says: "Wood hauling seems to be the principal occupation just now. Several hundred cords are piled at the depot awaiting shipment to Globe. It is pos sibls that in few years there will be a scarcity of wood in the valley as re- suit"

Mir. Howell of the Atlants Constitu- ton says; 'I believe that 90 percent of the people of Georgia approve the position taken. by Mr. Clay, our junior senator, in supporting the peace treaty.

The law establishing the Initiative and Referendum which tho republican platform pledged the party to enact, will nest certainly become law, for it is so essentially democratic in every senss of the term, that no democrat can afford to vote against it.

"TIB UP!" "TIP UP!"

If may not be generally understood

il is probable that not nearly all OF the

Fishing through the ice is not as un-
common on Lake Champlain as on Lake
George. The latter body OF water Is
inhabited by trout and bass, ana ice
fishing Is thus illegal there. The wa

one may fancy the shade or the late
John Worrai Keely hovering about the
post.mortem proceedings on his motor
and finding considerable enjoyment in
its observations. The Keely motor that
never NOTED except when its inventor
fiddled has been dissected. The visible
part is in Boston in charge OF an ex-
merit for investigation in behalf of the
stockholders. The heretofore invisibie
part has been uncovered in its hiding
place beneath the floors and In the
walls OF the Laboratory in Philadel-
mia by n party OF Investigators acting
on behalf of the Press OF that town.
The investigators found q huge steel
sphere that 1t Is reasoned contained
compressed dir which, conducted
through tubing surreptiously, pro-
duced the noting OF the mote. The ex-
pert I'm Boston asserts that the alleged
discovery OF the Philadelphia expert;

It seems likely that had his talents
been less jocosely directed Keely might
still have won fame and fortune from
the application of compressed air TO
practical mechanics. lie must have
learned a great deal about this force
some time before other, investigators
into it's possibilities had begun TO make
material headway. Today we hear n
good deal about compressed air. Ac-
cording to some accounts, that medium
is 10 displace not alone steam, but cleo
tricitv. For the immediate future it Is
planned to use Il for vehicles instead
ot horsehesh, steam, gasoline or stor-
age batteries. Recently we thought a
big compressed air motor plant was 10
be established in our city. but, since
the Journal was so cocksurc of 1t, this
appears not 20 be so. At any rate, now
is said to be the time 10 subscribe tC
compressed air stock companies, and
the investing public seems inclined e
rush that way without knowing mucl
more about what they are going int
than Keely's stockholders did Th'
faithful horse is yet doing a good bi
of our hauling. however. and the loco
