After MIR. Goudy's order had been read
in the board of aldermen Alderman
smith asked when the new company
would be ready to light the city. He paid
that he had been unable to get any infor-
nation ON this subject from President
Brown Of that company. He said the
Consolidated company finished their con-
tract tonight. How IL the city TO be
lighted from this time on, with lanterns
or the old fashioned kerosene lampsY
Alderman johnson said he wanted to
ask President Brown OF tine new company
some questions. The board voted to allow
Mr.. Brown to speak.
In his place Judge Foster appeared and
said he was MIR. Browns counsel, and
would give all the information they re.
quired. Judge Foster said the company

that there NOW remained $50 to be erected

ing strung. There rsmains ten or twelve
miles more Of wiring to be put up. About
$50 lights are on tonight out Of the $40.
the contract calls for.
Alderman Smith said that only $50
lights had been found and many Of thes
were not connected or burning, and he
said that the Portland Electric Light

self to the Salt River valley is whether
 or not it wants the business of that
 camp as well as that of Mammoth
 Tucson today is selling our flour, hay
 and barley in the Ray camp. That statement means more than a casual
 thought will grasp. To get this stuff into the camp Tucscn pays the freight
 fK rail from this valley to Tucson and i then hauls it seventy-five miles across the desert This valley could reach the camp with fifty miles of wagon road and forty-seven miles of that road already exists. Three thousand dollars would build the other three three miles over the mountain into the Mineral creek, where the mines are located Besides getting our goods in the new camp to the exclusion Of all competitors there is a strong likeh- hood of being able to divert all the companies shipping this way instead of to Tucson. One item of this ship ping, it must be remembered will be 100 tons Of concentrates per day.
 General Superintendent Hill, who arrived from London the first of the month, stated when asked by MT. Por- ter if any inducements could be made to get the company to divert it's busi- ness to the Salt River valley, that we could see what his company was doing, that he was negotiating with the manu- facturers for traction engines, for it twas the intention to haul the concentrates to Tucson, but the company would rather come to this valley, as he be- lieyed better rail shipping accommo- dations could be secured.
 Tn my opinion" continued MT. Kim ball, if Tucson was situated as is this valley. S10,000 instead of S3,000 could be raised in that city in twenty-four hours to build that road. It appears that nothing will ever stop this valley from crooking the pregnant hinges Of it's knees to the east long enough to take advantage Of the golden, or rather copper opportunities that lie strewn in it's dooryard. The mining districts and prospects this side of Globe were prom ising enough to induce President Gar land to extend his read to them a dis tance of fifteen miles over the noun tains, but the whole Globe mining cen ter was not promising enough to in duce this valley to make the few miles of road yet uncompleted in the Globe wagon road. As a consequence Tue son handles all that business. Phoenix is drinking out of the spigot with the bung-hole wide open and at the pres ent rate Tucson will side-track it ut terly
 "One good mining camp is worth more to this valley in one year than all the good derived in two from eastern visitors Tucson gets cut and secures all these plums, while Phoenix sits and coughs about it's climate.
 1.-The Phoenix and Maricopa county board of trade should take the matter up. That organization could complete those roads in short time and at the same time kill all prejudice that might exist against it.

, general, who did not try to put it into words.
 we wouldn't have done a thing to it, would we?" continued the colonel, laughing. By the way, general, did ever tell you about that bottle Of brandy?"
 General King did not remember about the bottle of brandy and Colonel Cody told a rattling good story Of how a bottle of brandy suddenly appeared in the command, carried by Jack Crawford 200 miles without lessening a drop-'The only scout who could have done it. the colonel explained in an aside-how he (Cody) fell back and got the colonel away how they made it into toddies, and then. how late in the afternoon he sent his tired horse flying like bird over sage brush and boulder, to the astonishment of everybody
 These two famous men who served together through all the stirring timss on the frontier recalled incident after incident, and a lot of fellows, most Of whom were in swaddling clothes at that time sat around listening with all their ears. glad to get little of the life second hand.
 The colonel told how he came 70 be an editor He had wanted to leave monument for himself and concluded that the greatest monument he could leave would be a big country converted from wilderness into a thriving com munity, peopled with loyal, prosperous Americans; he reclaimed the desert lands of the Big Horn country, Wyom- ing. and by covering them with water converted them into the most fertile lands in the world: the country has settled up and the village grown, and now, having village, they must have a newspaper and he has given them one, called the Ccdy Enterprise. The colonel was loudly applauded when he finished his speech.-Milwauke Wis cOnSiQ

AN AUTOMOBILE GUN
New Weapon of Warfare Maj. David son. Ills Inventor, will Soon Test.

The knell of the battery horse is l sounded Soon the stirring sight Of guns tearing into action with the driv- i CTS flashing at the frantic horses as the
 pieces are taken at gaEop along
 rough and uneven roadways. the swift
 halt on the firing line and the whirling
 around of the guns, will be but a mem
 ory. The guns of the future will be taken into action cn an automobile car riage There will be no whirling around, for the gun will be rushed to the front with it's muzzle pointing ID
 the direction of the enemy There Will be no swift gallop through a cloud ot dust with the guns dancing and pranc- 1 ing over instructions The new gun will move silently and smoothly for ward on pneumatic tires. The invent
 or of the first automobile gun and car riage is Major R. P. Davidson of the
 Northwestern Military academy at
 Highland park, III. In a few weeks he
 intends to drive a battery Of the new
 guns from Chicago to Washington, D.
 C., by way of New York city, in order
 to show what can be dCne with these
 guns on a long march.
 The motor gun carriage consists of
 a carriage having double driving
 wheels and single steering wheel, placed we'll forward. The motor and
 driving machinery is enclosed in the body of the carriage, over the rear axle. while the gun is mounted in front of the operators with it's muzzle eX- tending forward over the steering wheel
 The forward seats provide for gun ner and motor man, while the rear seats carry two men, enc being an am munition tender and the other a re- serve in case of one or more men be- ing disabled
 The large fuel tank is placed under the forward floor 50 as to be well pro tected from danger, and fuel for 200 miles can be carried. The tank is of heavy, seamless sheet iron and is prac- tically bullet proof There are but few delicate parts so that the chances of being disabled by bullets and hard use are very remote; and duplicates can easily be carried of all the small parts so that repairs can be effected in short order, anywhere. For long distance movements this battery can make at least five times the distance possible with horses, in given time.
 The gun carries bullets of A caliber, H1f4A16 d IdHSS OI t,UUO duQ at the rate of 400 shots per minute The operation is automatic and con tinues so as long as the trigger is pressed or ammunition belts kept in the feeder; the reooil of the gun being to reject the used shell and insert "a new one
 The total weight of the battery is but 1000 pounds or about the weight of horse, and it is equipped with i large pneumatic tires so that soft | ground is net much of an impediment | It carries 10000 rounds of ammunition. l General Miles, who has long been ar automobile enthusiast, is greatly in terested in the new meter gun. The l test run from Chicago to Washington ! will be made practically under the d- | 'ection of the war department. Should | the experiment prove successful the | department will take the matter up | Washington Dispatch.
