MAY DAY GOLD ORE.
Assays This Week Show %, 90 Ounces
in Gold Per Ton.

Word has been received from the May
Day property that some scnsationally
rich gold values were encountered this
week. one assay recorded 2.02
ounces I'm gold per ton. The assay was
from picked sample, but the returns
are significant just the same. 1t Is
expected that the next shipment will
run over two ounces In the yellow met
al to the ton. One car was loaded
on Thursday and IL Is expected that
two cars viii reach the sampler on
Monday. AS the operating expenses
only run between $500 and $500 a
month the present rate Of shipping will
soon enable the company TO cut down
the debt which Il owes.

Roy Bemls says that after the 1000
tons Of ore from the Neptune property
at Bingham Is sun through the Dewey
mill. work will be started on the Dixon
ore, OF which a nice grade Is being ex-
tracted from the new strike.
II IL reported that the Imperial Cop

claims near Frisco. Is preparing TO
run a long tunnel into the mountain to
intercept the veins OF ore which are
believed 10 exist there.
Word comes from the east that the
old Rollins mine. now known as the
Lincoln mine, near MineTsvile, Beaver
county. Is to start UP again. After an
expenditure OF many thousands Of dol
lars work was stopped several months
ago owing to the great inflow of water.
Editor Wilkinson. OF the Cedar Re

A travelling correspondent Of the New
York Financial Record has the follow
ing TO say Of Utah: The climate Ia
splendid. Thousands OF tons Of rock
salt are shipped each year, II Is even
claimed that at Manu great beds of
natural salaratus exist sufficiently pvre
for direct household use. Fifty tons OF
sS per cent pure sulphur are mined per
day. Its copper fields promise to rival
those Of Montana. Mineral wax has
been discovered in large quantities.
while It Is said there are exhaustless
fields OF asphaltum.

After the Old Man.

Many child stories are told. Some of them are humorous, most of them are not. This is the latest addition as appears in the Gazette:
 A gentleman well known in local business circles recently purchased a new home in the west side and moved his family into it. He had a son six years old. His name was Willie. On the day that the family moved into the new home Willie rendered himself particularly disagreeable, and when his mother went after him with fresh cut switch to argue him out of the error of his way, the youngster es' capped through hole under the h ouse and stayed fortified all the afternoon The mother begged and threatened tc no avail; he would not come out When the head of the family finally came home, the situation was ex ] plained to him by his wife.

of ground cultivated to growing crops throughout the year and irrigated at regular periods the entire twelve months-as in the case of alfalfa, for instance-can not be filled with less than two acre-feet. But by no means is all the ground cultivated during the year. After producing it's particular crop tract may lie fallow for months. Also, good percentage of the acreage is taken up by roads, buildings and corrals, and bearing in mind that usu- ally only the flood waters would be i'm pounded, supplemental to which would be the normal flow, it would seem safe to accept the prevalent conclusion that the storage capacity of reservoir will represent, acre for acre, its irrigating capacity.
 The Gila River reservation embraces 357 ,l20 acres and at least POGO acres can be covered by irrigating canals. Under storage system this reserva- tion could be made to support all the civilized Indians in the territory, and still afford large surplus of land for white settlers. It being an executive order reservation, the land controlled by the Indians could be curtailed to the area actually required for their sup
  to public settlement, simply by the or der of the pre- ,ident.
 It would seem that here is an excep- tional situation which warrants con gress in making the necessary appro- priatioa for the construction of a reser- voir, quite independently of the broad ques ton as to the advisability of the government adopting general policy of reservoir construction. The wisdom of enabling the Indians to become self supporting is universally admitted. When, as in this case, that policy can be carried out on lines financially prof itable as we'll, there can be no objec- tion urged on any valid ground. Not only would the Indians gladly pay for water, but the farmers in the valley between any reservoir and the reserva- tion would be good customers for any surplus. It is entirely safe to predict that the irrigators would readily pay $2 per acre per annum for stored water. Prominent and responsible ranchmen in the Salt River valley have said that they would cheerfully pay $3 per acre per year for properly regulated and adequate supply, such as would be fur nished by reservoir.

language or habits, people of char acteristic revengeful disposition who have learned to hate us as the slayers of their kin and despoilers of their land and homes, and whom to lSeepin sub jeetion and protect from the encroach- ments of other nations will require an expenditure to maintain military and naval establishment far beyond any profit which will ever result from com mercial intercourse.
 The same money expended in build ing reservoirs and developing irriga- tion in the west would have created a fertile empire at our own doors and within our own borders, with no loss of precious lives and which would re- quire DO military establishment to maintain. Such expansion would have brought more acres under cultivation than comprise all the arable lands in the Philippines and made homes for more thrifty American people than there are inha bitants in the whole ar chipelago and whose energier would have added millions of dollars to the nations annual production of wealth. This would have been expansion worth while and of kind to which the Rural would lend it's hearty endorsement.

Irrigation vs. Conquest.

John D. Speckles, of California, while on his way recently through Chicago to Washington to attend the meeting of the republican national committee, of which he is a member, said in an interview: "As 1 came through the great prairies of the west on this trip l could not help but think of the great good that might have been done in our own country with the money which we are now spending to maintain the army in the Philippines. If that money had been put in irriga- tion in the western countries I believe the United States would have reaped great benefits from it than it ever will by the retention of the Philippines"
 This is suggestion for kink of expansion which partakes of the na. ture of good, sound, business sense, comments the National Rural. The conquest of the Philippines will cost not less than two hnnered million dol
 lars, to say nothing of the loss ot thousands of precious lives. WheI conquered, what have we? Some pos sessions thousands of miles away, O
 some commercial importance it is true but inhabited by different race, witt whom Americans have no affinity il

HELLOl PHOENIX.
Connection between Tucson, Phoenix and
 Prescott Early in Marcn.
[From the Tucson Star.l

lFrom the Tucson Star.I
 c. w. Hiuchcliffe, assistant saperin- tendent of the Sunset Telephone com pany, has arrived from Los Angeles to look after the long distance telephone lines. He said yesterday that the crew of 26 men on the line from Phoenix to Prescott would complete the work of opening a phone connection between the two county seats in fourteen days.
 Upon the completion of this work, which is the heaviest the Sunset has yet encountered, the force will start out of Mesa for Tucson, the line being now opel from Phoenix, via Tempe, to Mesa. The route to Tucson will take in Desert Wells before reaching Flor ence. Thence the line builders will proceed to Oracle, running leg off to Shultz and Mammoth.
 The route from Oracle is via the Bayless & Berkalew, Samaniego and Pusch and Zellweger ranches, the latter the steam pump, to Tucson. In run ming past the Samaniego ranch, the mining camps in the Catalina moln- tains, those of the Catalina Mining com pany and the Canada del Orc, will be in touch.
 The force will work at the rate of one mile day, possibly with greater pro gress. The distance is estimated at l47 miles from Phoenix to Tucson by above route. Communication from Mammoth, Oracle and Shultz has been from Mammoth to San Carlos and Will cox, thence to this city.
 About Monday next Mr. Hinchcliffe will start force of men from Tucson to raise the poles which Vim. Neal has hauled along tho line to Mammoth, al- together 759 in number. This gang will complete lining up at the rate of two miles 8 day, or three miles a day by the two gangs. In other words, it is expected that the line will be up in less than fifty days between Tucson and Phoenix, making the long distance telephone line between Tucson and 1 Prescott stretch of 280 miles. The poles employed are Puget Sound cedar
 The Globe connection from the main line at Florence. via Riverside and the Ray mine, will be made in the early summer, when the difficulties likely-t to 1 arise at this season from snows in the Pinal mountains can be avoided.
 In all probability the line from Tue son to Nogales will be constructed following the completion of the Flor ence-Globe connections.
 Small exchanges in towns whicf have no connections with the Sunset system will not be interfered with b, the company.
 When justified, the Sunset company will establish ''leg offs" with mining camps, number of which desire con nection with the long distance mair line.

WATER BOARD MEETS.
Electric Engineer Knudson Makes
a Written Report.
Electric Damage to Underground Iron
Pipes Cannot BIO Cured Except by Com
ploto Separation Pipes and the street
Railways Must be isolated.

The Board Of Water Commissioners
met at noon yesterday. There were
present MIR. George Mcintosh, president;
Messrs. Wright and Osborne, also Air.
Herbert Smith, superintendent; MIR. j.
Il. Peelle, registrar, and Mr.. y. y.
Knudson. of New York, the electrical
expert.
MIR. Knudson has been here for the
second time to study the effect of cleo
tricy on the iron pipes and mains of
the water works plant. During his
first visit. two weeks ago. he made an
examination of the pipes and mains.
and during the present visit, lasting
three days, he has confirmed his pre-
vious conclusions and written his re-
port.
That report he delivered at the meet
ing of the board yesterday. 1t will be
published later. AT present ali that
can be done is to state. in brief. what
was the substance and effect of SINH
lar report made under similar condi-
lions of the same trouble that occurred
with the water works of Reading Pa.
That report dealt with the effects OF
the straying currents OF electricity
from railway wires and rails. 1t is
those straying currents that do the
damage TO the water system.
The report on the Reading water sys-
tenn states that the difficulty is in hav-
in the same street. The escaping cleo
trio currents are sure to attack the iron
pipes and change their chemical prop
critics to such an extent that they are
worth less as water conveyors. The
sure cure is to keep the wires out of
the ground.
When the system of single trolley
is adapted, using the rails for the
ground return. there can be no complete
relief from electrolytic damage.
After the meeting of the Board of
Water Commissioners Engineer Knud-
son and City Attorney Taylor met in
regard to the formers report. The out
come of the conference was the prepa
will require the street railways to
adopt such measures as will prevent
any further damage to the water mains
by electrolysis. Some action will per-
haps be taken toward having the eN-
penses necessary to repair the damage
already done to the mains borne by the
trolley line railway.
Electrolysis has developed into un-
expected Importance since the employ
ment of powerful electric currents in
the movements of trolley cars. The re-
turn current from the telegraph wires
has long been discharged into the
earth without harm, 1t being too feeble
to produce any injurious result. But
the powerful currents discharged from
electric car motors seem likely. by de-
composing the water of the moist earth
and setting free oxygen and hydrogen,
to injure the iron gas and water pipes
buried in the earth. This can be avoid
ed only by making n complete metallic
return circuit. which the car COM
panieS generally are endeavoring to do.

PLANT.

INVESTED IN A MARYLAND ICE
PLANT.
The Salisbury (Md.) Sun of recent
date says:
Salisbury is to have new ice plant
In addition to the one already in exist
ence. The persons comprising the new
firm are Mr.. w. T.. busch, of Norfolk
Va, and Mr.. ]. d. Price, OF this city,
who will be manager. The firm will be
known as The Crystal Ice Company
The plant will have daily capacity of
fifteen tons and be capable of refriger-
ating 1000 cubic feet of space for
storing ice. etc. and when the duty of
the machinery is not required to keep
cool the Ice houses the capacity is in
creased to eighteen to twenty tons
daily. The new company will start
already secured n contract to furnish
several hundred tons of ice the coming
season. The Ice business is a growing
one in this section of the country, and
no doubt the new company will be able
to dispose of it's product and relieve the
strain on the Salisbury Ice Manufac-
turing Company, who have not been
able to meet the demands at all times
The Crystal Ice Company will locate
It's plant on the railroad somewhere
near the n. Y. p. & N. station. 1t will
be in operation by March LIST. 1901.
The plant will be of the most mod
ern design and thoroughly up to date
The York Manufacturing Company, of
YORK, Pa, are the builders, and are al
ready at work on the construction
The buildings to receive the machinery
Will be commenced in few days.
