of a brigadier, seeing that there were so many intervening grades, and his elevation would have involved the death, disability or promotion of three of his superior officers, contingencies most unlikely to occur even if it had been desirable that they should occur, for at the time Of his conversation with Col. Roosevelt it was clear that the war with pain would be of short duration.
 One of the friends of Captain O'Neill will likely write to Governor Roosevelt inquiring if it is not possible that he misunderstood that now famous eX- pression and misconsh ued it's mean ing. Though the ambition attributed by the governor to Captain O:Neill is worthy to be entertained by any man, it is a personal ambition, whereas these who knew him best believe that the gallant captain desired star for Arizona and not for himself.

RECEPTION TO G. c. T. DOAN.
Garden Valley Lodge Independent Or. der Good Templars Entertained
 in Style Last Night.

The Good Templars turned out in force last night to welcome their chief, Judge F. M. Doan of Florence, who paid the lodge an official visit He was escorted into the lodge room in ritual form by P. c. T. Ross, and seated in the chair of the chief Templar
 He favored the lodge with very en- tertaining address on the work and possibilities of the order at large and dwelt at some length upon the oppor- tunities presented to this lodge for do- ing good in the city and for exercising an elevating influence upon the people of the community. Following Judge Doan's address came recitations by Earl Moss, Bella Forbes, Harry Troops and Miss Clara Galpin, social solos by Walter Norris and H. F. Dearsley, and an instrumental trio by the Porter brothers, introducing two mandolins and 8 guitar. The members then re- paired to the banquet room where re- treatments were served by the ladies. During the banquet Chief Templar Jameson acted as toastmaster and called upon G. c. T. Doan, Judge Davis, Grand Secretary Brown, Robert Cree, E. A. Ross, w. J. Welcome and A. P Walbridge, and Misses L. M. Andrews and Clara Galpin, who responded in happy speeches.
 On next Monday night public meet ing will be held in the hall, when the regimental flag presented to Colonel McCord's regiment last summer by the Good Templars will be returned to Grand Chief Templar Doan, represent ing the grand lodge. It Is expected that Colonel McCord will be present to return the flag and that all the regi- ment now in the city will also attend. Color Sergeant Williams brought the flag all the way from Georgia by re- quest of Colonel McCord that it might be returned to the donors.

HOW SALLIE MAY CAME
The Name a Slight Corruption of One
 Given by <| Lord Dipper"

A few days ago The Republican pub
 lished a conjecture regarding the orig inaI and correct name of what is
 known es Sallie May Creek in Gila county. The subject was recalled by thed cath of Judge Q. C. Tebbs, who had constructed Hume across the creek in the course of putting in an irrigating plant. Captain John M Mullen, who was in town yesterday, re- moved all doubt regarding the naming
 of the stream. The original name was
 given by Lord Duppa, the scion of a
 noble English family who spent the
 last years of his life m the Salt River
 valley. and who by the way. named
 both Phoenix and Tempe The cor ruptiOn of the name SalIie May, was not so nearly complete as that of the noble lord himself. for he is yet re- membered by a few old-timers as Lord Dipper." Duppa was a peculiar character, he was an accomplished linguist and a finished scholar. but he had the business sense of child. He never explained why he was exiled from England, but he led contented life in Arizona. He received regular remittances from his family and passed lu6 greater part OI HIS llIIlG III I6nOIe but pleasant hooks in the mountains. One of his favorite resorts wasa that Gila county stream and on one of his visits he was reading, a now forgotten novel, whose title was '@Sollie May" Something in it was suggestive of his surroundings, hence the name of the creek
 While the founders of this town were belaborng their brains for a name which would fit the future greatness of the settlement Lord Duppa reminded them that it was founded on the ruins of a great prehistoric city. It was rising from it's asahes, hence no name could be more appropriate than "Phoe- nix and he told them the story of the fabulous bird Tempe" was selected by Lord Duppa because it's sur roundings, more nearly than any other locality in Arizona came up to his idea of the lOveliness of that vale i'm in Lalla RoOkh.

can reporter. q never saw more beau tiful scenes than were unfolded to me this afternoon during our short ride. It is not strange that your hotels are full of tourists and that yoiIr city shows such signs of prosperity. Peo- pie who hear of this delightful eli mate and charming scenery are certain to come here and enjoy them. I am sorry that l cannot stay q week or more and see more of the valley. 1 am convinced that Phoenix has a great future. It is well laid out and the architecture attests tC the public spirit and taste of the people 1t is only a few years since Denver was TO larger than Phoenix. It appears to me that this town occupies $ position that will bring it to the front in the near fu- ture. It's climate and scenery alone ought to be worth millions to it. It will give me great pleasure to tell my friends in Denver of the beauties of this region. 1 shall come here again and devote more time to an inspection of the coutnry."

FIRST NIGHT WINNERS
The eAII.HmeriCanS, inc Irish and inc
 Mexican Tug of War Teams.

There was never such an exhibition of human strength or such an exciting sporting event in Phoenix as the three opening contests of the international tug of war as O'Neill hall afforded last night. The attendance was as large as was expected on the opening night and there was in fact a much larger delegation of ladies than had been ex- pected. There were the usual first night preliminaries to be adjusted, so that there was delay of half an hour in the beginning of the contest. The six teams were on hand with promptitude. The immense platform decorated with American colors, was itself calculated to inspire interest in the contest
 The preliminaries consisted in the selection of George P. Bullard as mas ter of ceremonies, J. A. Kurtz time keeper, and Dr. G. A. Scroggs of Tempe as judge In drawing lots for the contest the All-Americans were paired with the Canadians, the Irish with the Germans and the Mexicans with the Italians The personnel of the teams is as follows:

ASSHY ALL ORES
To the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican: Sir: Two papers were read at the New York meeting, held last month, of the American Institute of Mining En gineers, which contained matter inter esting to ArizOnians.
 In 6 paper entitled ''The Discovery of Gold Districts" by H. M Chance there is an interesting note Cn the discovery of the Pearca mine. He says that ''the PeGrce deposit showed On the surface boulders of ore that had doubtless been seen by hundreds of miners and pros pectOrs, who regarded the material as
 worthless trecciated porphyry, which,
 indeed, it resembles; and not until a
 couple Of cattlemen, prompted by curi-
 osity, had a piece Of this material as
 saved, was it's value discovered" MT.
 Chance was personally informed by the
 assayers, men of wide experience, who
 had made the first assays of ore from
 the Pearce mine, that they tried to per
 suade the prOSpetOrs who brought in
 the samples not to waste their money
 on assays of what was apparently
 worthless rccki He gives the results
 Of the Pearce boys work on this
 worthless rock 'In the course of year they had sunk, I believe, about fifty feet and drifted some thirty-seven feet, without stoping. This work yielded them about $50 ,000 net profit They then gave to Philadelphia parties working bond on the mine at the uI- innate price of $300,0O0, upon a pre- liminary cash payment of S1S.000 and an agreement to spend at least SIP, ,000 in development. At that time all the sides of shafts and drifts were in ore - no vein walls being visible. The in tending purchasers expended about SJ ,- 300 in equipment (hoist. etc.l and took i out in three months enough to pay the | price fixed for the property. The mine | has continued for nearly two years 10 pay at about the same rate-$1OO, 600 i per month, net.
 l do not think any western miner would have given any serious attention | to this ore" It is in appearance ac- ! cording to all the accepted rules and | most unpromising stuff
 Can there be any better reason for 1 the prospector's new rule-''A Assay | everything?

-~-->---------- THE FREE READING ROOM.
q tbe Editor of The Rep1lbIican;

To the Editor of The Republican: Sir Que of the many excellent in stitutions of Phoenix Is the free read | ing room, kept open during the day and evening at the corner of Adams and First streets by the Wonan's Christian Temperance Union.
 Other people have talked of libraries, and reading rooms, and young me=l' S Christian associations. These noble women, saying little but doing great deal, have shown their faith by their works, by providing almost if not quite the only place in the city, except the saloons, where 9 stranger can find a welcome, a chair and a newspaper.
 The literature is not as extensive as it ought to be, the newspapers and magazines are not always the latest, but the earnest women in charge do what they can. Friends sometimes re- member them; the publishers of the Phoenix dailies generously donate their papers, and at almost any hour of the day or evening 2 number of men may be seen enjoying the papers, the warmth in winter and the shade in summer, and many of them find here the only home-like place in the city.
 During the winter young men who had no fire in their rooms could come
 
 provided, and where their home letters were written and many a mothers heart was made glad by the knowledge that in distant Arizona her boy lad not forgotten her but was writing to her in the rooms of the Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union.
 Those of your readers who have been in the habit of passing these hospitable rooms know something about the large mum Der of men who visit them. It is seldom that 8 reading room in any city is so well patronized.
 It would be graceful and kindly act for any one of your readers when he has read his magazine to hand it in to the lady in charge of the reading I~om. Good books and papers will be of service here. The free reading room deserves the sympathy and sub stantial aid of all oup citizens. L. H.

WHAT O'NEILL MEANT
When He Asked Who Would NoF
 Gamble for Sfar.

l Two constructions have been placed | upon now famous utterance made by I the late Captain William o. O'Neill ] which is variously rendered. In one Of the articles on the Rough Riders by Theodore Roosevelt now running in Scribner, Col Roosevelt, speaking of the ambition and courage of Captain O'Neifl, said that just one week before he was killed Captain O'NeiII said in conversation during a walk with the writer. Who would not gamble for a starr" Col. Roosevelt proceeds to write that if O'Neill had lived he might have attained the star of the brigadier O. at least the eagle of a colonel.
 This is not the meaning Captain O'Neilps friends in Arizona put upon the epigram. They believe that the star for which Buckley O'Neill hazarded and lost his life was the star of state hood. This view is strengthened by a letter written soon after the captains death by his friend, ThurlOw Weed Barnes of Albany, N. Y, who said that while the Rough Riders were in camp at San Antonio he visited him. Know ing his bravery akin to recklessnesS he warned him of the possibilities of war. He pointed out his promising career of usefulness and told him that he could better serve his country by exercising a reasonable caution. Cap tain O'Neill replied, t'Who would not gamble for another star on the fag?" There can be no doubt of the meaning 0f this expression.
 It is remembered that Buckley O'Neill was among the first, if not the very first man to suggest the raising of a cavalry force in Arizona. His sugges- tion was made immediately after the declaration of war and long tefore Wood and Roosevelt proposed the or ganizatiOn of the First Volunteer cavalry. Captain O'Nei1 desired that an entire regiment insteadI of a bat taliOn be recruited in this territory and he argued that if it could be done the regiment could do much by it's bravery to incline congress and the ad- ministration to grant statehood to Ari- zona.
 It is argued also that Captain O'Neill could hardly have .aspired to the star

A QUICK TRADE
Fir. Fowler Came, Saw, Was CaDfi-
 Vated Then Bought a Farm.

The famous Thompson ranch near Glendale has been purchased by Mir. 2. A. Fowler of Chicago and he will take immediate possession. MT. Fowler is a wealthy citizen Of Chicago. He has in
 terests in California and was on his way to inspect them when he conclud- ed to run down to Phoenix from Ash Fork, call Cn his friend, Walter Hill, and incidentally look around the Salt River valley, of which he had heard a good deal. He arrived here last Thurs day night By Friday noon he had be- come so fascinated with the city and climate that he said he believed he would look around with the idea of purchasing a home.
 well known resident Of Phoenix who had been introduced to MT. Tow Ter and who heard him say that he would like to buy a good ranch told him he knew of just the place that would suit him. He escorted MT. Tow Ter to the Hotel Adams and introduced him to MT. Edward Thompson of New Haven, Conn.,, brother of the late James s. Thompson who established the Thompson ranch. MT. Thompson was desirous of selling this fine prop J east prevented him from giving it the attention it required.
 Inside of fifteen minutes after MT. Fowler had been introduced to MT. Thompson they had arranged to drive out to the ranch. MT. Fowler inspect ed the property, was greatly pleased with it, and decided to take Mrs. Fow Ter out to see it. Mrs. Fowler fell in love win it. That settled the matter. MT. Fowler bought not only the ranch property but 240 acres of desert land in it's vicinity. The deal was closed in short order and MT Thompson started 1 for home Monday night. MT. Fowler who only last week was planning to establish home in California now is to put the Thompson ranch | in first class order and live there.

first two teams began stripping and adjusting the harness for the fray. The waiting was filled in by an or
 chestra consisting of an Italian harp, a violin and a cOrnet When the All Americans were ready they were lined up, and marching to the Star Spangled
 Banner" mounted the platform and faced the audience amid loud applause.
 The Canadians selected for their marching music 'Ta-ra-r -de-a - The sons of the Dominion were also loudly cheered. When the two teams were in place the referee, Cap tain J. L. B. Alexander, male careful inspection of them, and when all was ready fired the shot as signal to re- lease the brake. The huge cable was instantly taut, but the indicating ball upon which all eyes were fixed was motionless for an instant It began then to move slowly toward; the All Americans and their supporters raised the roof This steady gain was kept up until the All-AmericanS had a foot to their credit. Then the reserve strength Of the Canadians was brought into play. The ball flew back by jerks, indicating by each jerk that 2 cieat had been recovered. Two inches from the center it stopped and the Ca nadians lay back in confidence wait ing for the signal from the captain. which was not given. The thirty min ute limit expired and the AllAmeri- cans were declared the winners of the first bout The Canadians were deeply chagrined and while they acknowl- edged the fairness oi the management and the referee, were inclined to blame the captain for their loss. A prettier pull was never witnessed.
 The. other contests, each occupying the thirty minute limit, were nearly as interesting.
 p The Irish-German struggle was also heralded by national anthems and the Germans were plainly inferior as to weight. The Irish had six inches the best of it when the rope first stretched and at repeated intervals made small gains by jerks. Two Germans tired, but the match consumed all the time allowed by the regulations and ended with one foot to the credit of the Hi bernians.
 The pistol sounded and then came the tug of war between the Mexicans and the Italians. A deadlock ensued and after one-half hours struggle the Mexicans had but two inches of ad- vantage
 The fight belongs to no team yet, for there are six more contests. The pairs tonight will be decided hy lot after the representatives of the teams come to- gether. But two of last nights win ners will pull against each other and two losers will be matched The third contest of tonight will be between 1 a winner and loser.
