The preliminary examination on a

little talk about HerI'on's case. But
then there is not much talk about any
thing at Nogales just now except the
fiesta, which is running full blast day

place Of about ten acres, brilliantly
lighted by electricity, a new accessory

Of the city. 1t is alleged that his
predecessors in interest settled upon
this land in 1869 and appropriated
water for it. The water was taken
from the river through that old ace
quia known as the Wilson ditch, and
continued tCi conduct it through that
ditch until 1890 The MaricOpa canal
was opened about 1872 From time to
time owners Of land along its route
who had teen getting their water from
others for economic reasons entered
into an arrangement with the canal
company for the delivery of tt9 water
to which they were entitled upon the
payment of a reas onable sum for the
service and according to reasonable
regulations adopted by the company.
As has been stated, this arrange
ment between the plaintiff and de-
PENDANT was begun in 1890 and contin
ued until last Friday, when the plain
tiff rendered $120 in payment of the
eighty inches of water he had been
getting and the tender was dechEad.
1t is alleged in the complaint, which
is accompanied by the tender, that
ths plaintiffs only relief is an order
restraining the defendant from shut
ting off his water, since the old acequIa
through which he used to receive it
has been filed up and the head of it
washed out by floods. Notice is also
served upon the defendant that appli-
cation will be made for a restraining
order in court at $3.50 o'clock next Sat

braces the states CT Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and Kentucky, practically de-

The nomination is great calamity
and I regret it, but it never would
have happened if Hardin or Stone

But even if there was fraud at the
Louisville convention, is that any rea-
son Bryan and free silver should be in

ANOTHER WATER SUIT
First of Second Series of Injunction
Proceed irgs.

The first of a series of injunction
suits against the various canal ccmpa-
mics was filed yesterday by KTbbey &
Edwards, acting for Martin Gould,
against the Maricopa Canal company.
The allegations of the complaint are
precisely the same as those in the case
of Slosser VS.. the Salt River Valley
Canal company in which Judge Sloan
granted the plaintiffs injunction and
in which Judge Street passing upon a
molten for modification of the order
lately confirmed the plaintiffs rights
given him under the original order.
The plaintiff in the present case is
one of several farmers who applied for
winter water at the Office of the Ari-
IONA Water company last Friday and
was denied on the ground that he held
no water right. The plaintiff had
never owEod such right, but had OBJ
tanned his water in various ways, some
times upon the right of others and
sometimes by buying from those who
had water to sell.
Like the plaintiff in the Slosser case,
E;e claims right older than the de-
PENDANT company. He is owner of the
southwest quarter and the south half
of the northwest quarter of section Ii,

down and was about to give up the
search when he found the body CT the
child, who Lad alrsady died from
asphyxiation.
Bland assembled the ladder with the
child, while Heinsheimer stood at the
top ready to help, and asked him if he
was all right. He answered Eyes. .
and then the gases overcame him. His
held weakened and he fell back into
the vault with his charge. Heinsheim-
err instantly descended II save his
companion. He. also, was overcome.

| The Harqua Hala mine recently pur-
chased by Mr. Hubbard, one Of the
original owners, for $1,000, is again be-
| ing worked, and notwithstanding all
the fairy stories that have been told
regarding the property, will at no
distant day be again placed in the list
of Arizona bonanzas. There is plenty
Of good ore there and Mr.. Hubbard is
one of the men that knows hi5iw to get
it out Another is Charles Plcken-
back, Mr.. Hubbards old foreman, who
is again in charge of the works.
About twenty men are now employed,
and it is understood new men are be-
ing c0nstnatly hired. What possessed
the English company to sell the mine
is a question few can answer and the
figure at which it was disposed of can
be accounted for only on the ground
that prospective mine purchasers nat
urally supposed the bidding would be
so high that they did not bother them
selves to attend the sale. The ore is
largely lew grade, but there is lots Of
it, and it is expected that forty stamps
will be pounding away in short time.
There is a big cyanide plant, water
works. mill and other machinery and

About a mile from this property is
the Golden Eagle, also under the same
management Like the Harqua Hala
it has been money-maker and it is
only question CT shc1t time when
it will be again. The coming winter
will doubtless see many more good
prospects opened up in the Harqua
Hala mountains.
