GREAT SHOW OF PYROTECHNY
Display at Phoenix Park Amuses
 Many Thousand People.

Perhaps the largest crowd that has ever been congregated at any one point in Phoenix witnessed Pains great mili- tary spectacle, the battle of san Juan Hill, with it's attendant display of fire works and acrobatic exhibition at Phoenix park Monday evening.
 Several thousand spectators occupied the semi-circle of seats in the big en- closure, while as many more, less for tunate in the lack of possession of the price of admission, gathered on the out side and in a catch-as-catch-ca man. her made the best of a grand spectacle, and residents of the Salt River valley, from the White Tank to the Supersti tion mountains, watched what was probably the finest pyrotechnical dis play ever seen in this portion of the territory.
 The reproduction of that memorable battle at San Juan. the charge of the American troops, the fierce resistance of the Spaniards, the ultimate defeat of the latterand the placing of Old Glory on the heights of the stronghold were minor incidents compared with the fireworks which followed. From the salute of the aerial guns through the pOlychromauc canopy. the colOred aerolites, salVOs of shells, chromatic rockets, the Cpal show CTS, the swarms of fire-fiies anl light ming bugs down to the Roosevelt design and the dozens of other set pieces, end ing with the inevitable good night, 7" the audience was kept on the eXpectant edge of delight. As a whole it was one continuous round of glorious gorgeous ness and a sight which, after this even ing, Phoenix will not see again for many d night. The work of the aero bats was a clever exhibition, that Of Lee Ingham, the hand equilibrist, being especially noteworthy. Laredo and Blake, in their clown and demon act excited much applause. and the Provost troupe did an attractive turn. I. NJ. Ranaford is representative of the com- pany. and also treasurer. He is assist ed by the following staff: Milton Gunckel, press agent and contractor; James Cunliffe, pyrOtechnist and chiet of construction; Emil Capritz. chief cleo trician; Frank LeRoy, stage manager.

occurs to the reader that if this is all true, why is not sometNng done and who are the owners and why do they not take advantage of their oppor- tunity?
 The answer seems to lie in the fact that to put it in working order will IT. quire an outlay of quarter of a mill lion dollars in cash, an amount that is apparently almost prohibitive, unless the party or company is accustomed to large outlays. The present owners are all men of means and known to be shrewd business men, able to make a success of the enterprise should they see fit to undertake it and have the courage to carry it out. This is a prop erty that will prove the old saying that along with other things it requires genuine nerve to mine.

CTS do a tremendous business, with re-
 suits that are largely composed of net profits, but such view must necessarily
 be termed erroneous. There are two
 ice plants in the city, with a joint ca pacity for the production of perhaps thirty-fOur or thirty-siX tons per day During about three or perhaps four months the entires product is in de- mand, bringing from $S to $9 per ton, but for the balance of the year the sup ply is far in excess of the demand and for two months the output dwindles % a very few tons. No our business is far from being a rich source of reve- nue. remarked a local dealer yester- day to a Republican representative. "There are two great obstacles to the ice dealers and if they were removed we might do what could be called a big business. In the first place. in most cities the chief source of revenue to the ice plants is in the saloons and meat markets, where a constant supply of ice is absolutely necessary. In Phoenix the cold storage plant. which furnishes the principal cafes and markets with chilliness, cuts away in on our profits.
 In the second place the scarcity of irrigating water is a great detriment to us. In all fruit countries immense amounts of ice are used in packing fruit for shipment. Here for the past two years, the fruit crop has been so short that but little ice has been need ed to pack what fruit has been sent out. Then, too it costs a tremendous lot of money to conduct an ice plant. Wood and ammonia. two of the princi- pal factors in running a plant, have lately increased in price and the ice prices have not been raised. The eX- cessive amount of mineral in the water We use is another cause of much eX- pense. The minerals effect the pipes and other receptacles in a most disas- trous manner and the cost of repairs is thus made great. No. the ice man is Phoenix does not always recline on a bed of Toses.'

THE VULTURE MINE
Big Returns Would Follow a Big
 Investment.

Wickenburg, Ariz.. Sept. 23.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- Your correspondent was a visitor at Vulture Friday. Having been connect ed with the concern for six months and being familiar with the property for the past eighteen months. I have gained a fair knowledge of what is there. and have a very decided opinion of the future of the Vulture mine. A visit to the Vulture is a rare treat to a person that never has been there and is well worth the time spent. When one gets into the old workings and sees the immense galleries. big stopes and perfect network of drift, all standing open, without a stick of timber as sup port, he realizes that it is simply grand and unlike any other mine. But visit after one is familiar with it, as to it's real worth. and can realize its possi- bilities and what it should be compared to what it is, leaves on the mind a very depressing effect. It has occurred to the writer many times mat the Vulture is not only a big mine. put that it is too big A correct report on this prop cry shows figures so large that people are inclined to believe that they can not De true anu liIetl Il pI'pCl U OL lIlS kind would not be lying idle.

Do You Read During the Evening?

Have you a good light to read by? Do you want a good light? Have you found that coal oil is high in this coun- try?
 Do you want to save money? Have you ever seen the Belgium burner?
 Do you want to see it? If you read during the evening ~nd want the brightest and best light to read by, if you want to save money to the amount of several dollars during the next few months, you will find it to your inter est to call and see our line of lamps. The Belgium burner uses 40 per cent less coal oil and gives about 20 per cent Three gallons of coal oil goes as far in one of our Belgium lamps as five gal Ions does in a Rochester, and at the same time gives one-fifth more light All this means the saving of the price of lamp in one year, besides better light. We have a large line of these lamps at prices ranging from $4, com plete with shade, to $S.5O. They are all beauties and we will be glad to show them to you whether you purchase one or not Remember that we carry a large line of Hardware Stoves and House Furnishings at bargain prices Don't forget the place.

REMOVED TO THE CITY.-Mrs. Will liam Grier and two daughters, Misses Flora and Alice, and son Dwight, have removed to the city and leased a resi-
 dence on Indiana street. They will
 remain until the school term ends in June. MT. Grier and two eldest sons will remain on the ranch near Glendale. FEW PHOENICIANS THERE.-Lo- cal residents returning yesterday from coast resorts state that very few PhOe- nix people are remaining there, and all will be home within a few days.

 SOME NEEDS OF PHOENIX When one visits a few of those well conducted cities on the coast he is impressed with a great many things which Phoenix needs" said Mr. M. c. McDougal, who returned yesterday from months visit in California. Two of the things that made the most fOrcible' impressions up- on me were gathered from a compari- son of the streets and sidewalks of Pasadena and Phoenix. In the former place the streets are kept well sprinkled but the crossings, which are built slightly higher than the street level, are left dry, seemingly just the opposite from Phoenix, where the crossings are merely ditches through small seas of mud. There is vast difference, too, between the ap- pearance of the walks in the business district of Pasadena and this city. Here almost every merchant is allowed to display much of his stock on the sidewalk, in truly provincial style, and a a result almost half the walk is talk en up in this manner In Pasadena no goods are allowed on the walks. this fact, together with the law prohibiting elaborate displays of signs over and around the walks. giving the city an air of neatness and order
 DEATH OF L. H. ORME.-At a late hour last night it was learned that l.. H. Orme died at 10:3O o'clock. MT. Orme had not enjoyed good health for many years, though his last acute at tack of illness covered a period of only about ten days, and was an affection of the brain. About a week ago his condition was thought to be dangerous but he rallied for the time being. Mir. Orme was among the oldest residents of the valley and was well known all over the territory, having served the people of this county for many years in an official capacity. He was born in Mary land in December, 1S4S, and went to California in the early days. In 1870 ne took up his residence in this county and was elected sheriff in 1SS0 and again in 1882 In 1888 he was a member of the territorial council and was again made sheriff in 1891. serving for two terms. He was very competent official and did much for the preservation of good order and the bringing of criminals to justice during his incumbency ip that office. He leaves wife, son and two brothers, besides many other relatives and intimale personal friends, to mourn his loss The funeral will be held on Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock at the Episcopal church.

HARD ON THE ICE MAN
Early Fall Makes Big Cut in the

CITY GREEN HOUSE.
One Will Be Built at Gage Park
to Raise Flowers and
Shrubbery.

The park commissioners have been
obliged to wait for detailed plans for
the Improvement of the parks from the
park engineer, who lives in Kansas City
and of the landscape gardener, Mr.
Kistler, before much can be done.
The commission is pushing the work
on Huntoon and Holiday parks That
is, they are having the walks laid and
are getting the sod in shape. This fall
they will have the shrubbery put out
The City park and Gage park will be
improved as soon as the plans are re-
turned, to as large an extent as the
meager fund will permit.
There is one new park to be laid out
at least it is talked apout and will be
attended to by the commission as soon
as it is turned over to them. It is at
the intersection of Logan, Central and
Grant streets in North Topeka
The commission has decided TO build
a green house at Gage park this sum-
mer and all the plants and shrubs for
the different parks will be raised there.
The plans for Improvement of Holli-
day park have been received and the
board is very well pleased with them.
The gateWays are to be changed and
viii be a great Improvement over the
present gates. The fence is also to be
changed.
The board has suggested and again
desires to call the attention of property
owners to the benefit of improving
vacant lots and corners in the various
parts of town. This can be done at
very little expense if the owners of ad-
jacent property will contribute a little
money and also take an individual in
terest in the matter.
The cost and trouble will be well re-
paid by the Improvement in the ap-
pearance of the city
