A Transient Swarm of Bees Paid for

The neignbOrs of Officer D0Well are

 The bees are not in sight now. l'ne

 two months ago in front of A3r Dow

 him they knew all about bees. They told him how to hive them without danger to himself and finally VOlun-
 teered to get them themselves. Mr. DoweII provided one of them with Soma mosquito netting. She took cracker box and attempted to capture them at one fell swo0p. She failed ill her effort and the last seen of her and her companion they were going around the corner at full speed. AIr. Doweu iS not brave. He flew into the house and the perturbed swarm wrecked it's vengeance on forlOrn dog.
 Later q tramp knocked at the door and told the officer he would hive the Lees for J0 cents. Mir.

4 QUIET MOVE
To nake WiCkenburg a Great MIn-
 ing Cenfer.

A gentleman lately returned from the north said yesterday that he was greatly surprised at the change which has come over Wickenburg. Said he: T remember, less than five years ago to mention Wtckenburg was to arouse smile. It had been a good mining camp, but died. It is alive again. but IS more than a mining camp. It's a town and is going to be a good one. The W:ckenburg of today is far ahead of the Wickenburg of the old paImy days when the Vulture was in it's prime. By the way, the Vulture IS go- ing to see better days.
 There is quiet movement at Wickenburg and it looks as if it was going to be a successful one, to put in a smelter. Not a little one-horse smelter, but an immense affair which will make the town the mining center of northern Arizona. I think the people of Phoenix are letting a golden opportunity, and the last one, lsl.p by A smelter by little earnest and concerted effort could be secured for Phoenix that would make th:s the chief smelting town in all the south west and treble it's population in three years. It would be worth more to Phoenix than the biggest storage reservoir that was ever built: worth more than any trans-cont:nental rail road; worth far more than anything within possible reach of Phoenix and worth more than Phoenix can dream of.

EMINENT SCIENTIST HERE
Talks About inc Work of inc Geo.
 logical Survey.

MT F. H. Newell of the United States geological survey is in the city and is stopping at the Adams MT. Newell belongs to the Photographic department of the great system which was long ago perfected for furnishing absolute data in regard to the mineral and agricultural sections of the coun- try. He is at the head cf that depart ment, and his visit to Arizona at this time is to examine the work which has been lone in the direction of as certaining the value and permanency of several water storage sites.
 The principal work of the survey in Arizona has been in making surveys and sonudings for bedrock in what is known as the Buttes, in Pina1 county. Surveys have also been made at River side and San Carlos and tests of rocks have been made in this connec- tiOn to ascertain their value for use in the construction of the reservoirs which the government will build in event the investigations now being made warrant the expenditure. Other details have received careful atten- tion, and the. figures which will be pre- sented to the government will repre-
 
 structing the proposed reservoirs.
 Our efforts ara directed towards obtaining the beSt knowledge of the resources of thf country for water stcrage,' said Mr. Newell to a Repub- lican reporter last evening. "The ma terial we gather will be brought to the attention of congress at it's next ses- sion, and will cOntfin estimates of the cost of the construction of one or more reservoirs in each state ard ter ritory of the United States where ir- rigation is necessary. So if congress desires to take the matter up the facts will be at hand for the information of the members.
 ''I have lived so long in Washing ton,'' continued MT. Newell, and have seen success come to men who went there with matters which had doubtful value and succeeded only | through persistent work on the part i of the promoter, that I have come to 1 believe that nothing is impossible in | Washington where one enters into his | work with the right spirit. If the l people of Arizona want reservoirs con- i structed they must work together ID ! the matter They must unite with the | western people as well as with the | eastern people and make a strong pull | together. In this way they will be able to secure the attention of con gress and their united efforts will prove successful, I am sure. It re- quired hard work to bring the cOndi- tion of the rivers and harbors of the east to the attention of congress and secure the necessary appropriations for their betterment, and the people of the arid regions cannot expect to accomplish anything if they GC not make some united effort.

Emma Monroe for Ar kansas City, kas.. Mr and Mrs. B. B. Curtis for St. Louis and Edith Oieson :! for Pueblo, Colo. A car of old Indians will leave or next Friday, completing the exhibit.
 Mr McC0wan received q telegram yesterday announcing that he has been detailed by the government 10 take charge at the exposition Of all the Indians there. They will be sent from all parts of the United States.
 The band which left last night Is employed by the exposition for the month of July. It will probably be the only Indian band there and will Un- doubtedly be more attractive than any other aggregation MT. McCowan is not individually interested in taking Indians to Omaha He goes in an off ciaI capacity. The cacti exhibit is also provided at the expense Of the eX- position.

Likely the visitors to Omaha will be disappointed i'll not seeing an exhibit which shows Arizona to be transformed from savage state to one of modern civilization. The eastern people, and in fact many west eners gained their ideas of the In dians. as MT. McCOwan said, from Cooper. The display of cacti and the car of Indians which leaves soon are designed 10 show the conditions which formerly existed in this territory With them will be the band of cult Ured Indians intended to picture q radical change.

 The value of a smelter 10 an Ari- ZOna town has been Illustrated a. Tue son for years There was a little smelter there, so small that it's eX-st- ence was not known to many of the residents of Tucson who did not hap pen to be engaged il mining. They therefore wondered where all the money came from that kept the town going. There was no agriculture to speak Of and there was only in sighc | the $35, 600 or $4O,000 a month paid in by the railroad. That was not enough | to keep money in everybody's pocket | and beside, there seemed 10 way in l which any of that railroad money | could get into the pockets of the Mex jeans living in remote parts of the | It transpired that that little obscure shelter which was kept run ming hardly half the time on copper ore, and copper was worth in thosa days four or five years ago. only about half it's present value, kept a stream of money flowing out into the country. Every other Mexican owned a copper mine or a claim When he needed money he took out a wagon load Of fifteen or twenty per cent ore, richer if he could find it, and hauled it to the shelter. The ore was sampled at once and the owner received the money for t on the spot. In that way the shelter turned more money loose in Tucson than the railroad Gid

we have been measuring the flow of
 water in the rivers which are to pro- 1 vide water for storage, and the result
 of our work has been published by the government. These investigations also give the amount of water that
 might be held in storage through i these channels. Owing to the fiuctua- l tiOn of the water flowage it is neces- i sary to make these measurements regularly for a period of years before
 reliable data can be gotten.
 ''In Arizona the bedrock is found at depth of from 100 to 120 feet, making ! the construction Of dams very expen- sive, as these dams must be built upon bedrock. This necessitates an enor- mously high dam before water can be i impounded, and the extent of the work required makes the project an eX- pensive one. h this respect the con- ditiOns in Arizona are unfaV0rable for i the building of reservoirs. But on the
 other hand, when the dams are once
 completed the storage capacity is
 something enormous. Probably no
 section of the country can provide
 such reservoirs as Arizona. In car-
 tain respects this territory has the
 most extraordinary reservoir sites to
 be found in the United States. The
 
 ful consideration here is that of the
 silt or sediment which washes into the
 reservoirs from the watershed of the
 mountains Experts will be employed in the various lines of work which
 must be taken up before. definite 2c-
 ton will be taken in the building Of reservoirs, and the most reasonable
 cost must be 2scertained.
 ''The geological survey is but . branch of the hydrOgraphic and topo- graphic work. Tn the topographic work a number of surveyors are em- ployed who will locate the mountain srummits from which their work will be prosecuted in preparing maps of the undulating country. The south ern portion of Arizona has been neg lected in past years, and the data n regard to the mineral and agricultural sections which has proven of such vast benefit to Colorado and the northern i states has been denied Arizona. In | the maps which will be prepared will | be given the position of the mines, the valleys which provide the camps witn provisions, the cities and towns Of the | territory. together with the catchment area of the reservoirs to be estab- lshed. This information has proved of great use to investors in mining h other states, dHu III CoA- erado it is relied upon almost abso- lut5ly. The extent of the mineral zones, the nature of the mineral depo- sition, and all information which is to persons interested in your territory is given with the siiLctest ac- ouracy.'
