they be expected to vote a lien on their homes in order to furnish water for others?
 Most of the farmers under the Salt. Maricopa and Tempe and some under the Grand and Utah canals would get along nicely with the water to which they are entitled if it were not unlaw- fully diverted from them.
 Should these farmers vote for county bonds to furnish water to those who have for ten years received the much needed water of which they were de- prived?
 And again, there is to be another cor poration further up the river to be in business for the money there is in it-- interest and dividends. This will never GO. The burden must be borne in pro portion to the benefit derived if the farmer is expected to approve it. l would rather pay twenty dollars per acre to buy existing canals and build a reservoir than pay one dollar per acre for bonds or stock in a corporation con- trolled in the interest of capitalists. We have had too much of that. Our water today and for the last ten years has been diverted contrary to law statutes and court decisions. So far we have been helpless. The corporation needs no law. Shall We now furnish money to another corporation to con- trol that which is our life?
 Give the pioneers who came here when there was an abundance of un- appropriated water a show of justice and they are with you for anything that tends to build up the valley.
 Scme have contended that the late corners have as much right to water as any. This is a desert country. Land without water is worthless. Without diverting the water from the river We never could have proved up on our homesteads The water as much as the land is part of our homestead Without the water we have no home stead. Suppose there had been only ! ten thousand acres of irrigable land in the valley and after it had all been taken later-co1ners would have said: Look here. gentlemen. we think you have more land than you need. We will take some of that which you have appropriated" Would any one expect us to submit? If not. why should they ! have any better right to the water that was absolutely necessary to furnish us q home and without which our land I would be worthless?
 J Our statutes declare that first in 1 time is first in right always The | water for ten years past is supposed to be distributed according to the Kib- 1 bey decision. and Q water commissioner | appointed for that purpose. Instead Of l it's being distributed according to that | decision it is diverted from the lands to which the decision gives the water by the Arizona Water company. Would another corporation do better? Better get out of the clutches of a corporation than to get in the hands of another.

HETTY GREENS RICHES.

Hetty Greens wealth consists largely or government bonds, railroad stock
 and mortgages. She says she is not so 1ond Of government bonds since the finances of the nation have become pol Iuted with politics. Good mortgages of any kind are now her favorite form of investment. If all the mortgages she holds were foreclosed tomorrow twen- ty-eight churches of various denomina- tons, in almost as many states, would become hers, and four cemeteries would be added 10 her real estate. Be- sides there would be blocks of great

property, while waiting for his build ing to be put up.
 H. C. Kruger. owner of the Prescott House, is on the ground clearing away the debris and he will rebuild as soon as the material can be got on the ground. It will require two carloads Of twenty-fOur foot stuff and as this is d special size which will have to be cut expressly for this building he will have to wait about ten days before it can he obtained from Flagstaff. He will have a few more rooms in the building than formerly, and make it more modern in every respect, which will cost about S1, 800 more than the original figure Of the building. Mir. McInernay will prob ably release the premises when built. MT. Kruger expects to have the build ing completed and ready for occupancy within three months.
 There are strong indications now that the old Bellevue House and adjoining buildings will be torn down in the course of very few months, to make room for a large, modern stone and brick block. The corner store and of flee building occupied by the Wooster News and Stationery company and F.. B. Cages office Will probably remain some months longer than the other places in Office Row
 When the safe at Hotel Burke was opened after the fire il was found that none of the papers contained therein were destroyed. although the board backing of one of the bill files and the card board index between the bills and letters attached was found to have beG entirely consumed and disap- peared.

THE HISRFE WEST
An Important Group Now Being
 Rapidly Improved.

J. J. Lonergan, general manager of the Bisbee West Copper Mining com pany of Arizona, is expected there in a day or two for a visit to the mines of that company, says the Cochise Review of Bisbee. Great development is now being followed up on the property, and the improvements already made are very considerable. Among other ex- tensive operations the following work is noticeable, and the result is looked forward to with confidence. A shaft is being sunk on No. 16, one of the group of twentytwo claims owned by the Bisbee West company, and it is now down something over 200 feet. The in dications are that the shaft is about 60 intersect the lead. The shaft was started 100 feet from the outcrop of the vein. or dyke, the dip being to the shaft, and it was expected by MT Lon ergan that the vein would be cut at about the depth of 300 feet. If it is not cut at that depth a crosscut will be run out to the vein.
 Some very good ore has been found in sinking the shaft but it has been in stringers and detached bodies. Some of the stringers are three or four inches wide. and the ore carried by them is a high grade copper oxide. The surface showing on the Bisbee West company s gravel is said to be very fine. and among other things is a vein of fine ga- lena. The copper, of course, is the main feature of the property.

THE NEWS OF
 PRESCOTT

Prescott, July 23-(SpeciaI corre- spondence of The Republican.)-Bill,a a Hualapai Indian, was brought over from Kingman this morning to have c hearing before the United States grand jury and answer a charge of attempted murder. A deputy United States mar shal came over and presented the facts to the jury, and To, the poor Indian was held to answer the charge of assault with intent to kill.
 The work of the grand jury Is not yet finished.
 Henry Arnolt of Big Bug committed suicide this evening by taking most of the contents of two small vials of strychnine into his stomach. He had been drinking for some days and had come to the end of his pile" or rather, last Friday he gave the contents of his wallet, about S240, into the care and custody of his better half. who with her charming little family of three or four children, went back to Big Bug. and when his money was gone he called for more, but could not obtain it from his prudent helpmate. Getting Respondent and seeing no way of immediately re- filling his almost empty pockets he did what ten men or more in a hundred would have done-ended his troubles for good and all. He was about 40 years of age. was one of the original locators and owners of the Little An nie' group of mines (named for his Wife) and which property passed into litigation through the agency of the Providence Gold Mining company. This property is to be sold this week at sher- iff's sale to satisfy creditors, and this may have been partly the cause of MT ArnOlt's despondency. His wife tele- phoned in that as he had been an Odd Fellow it was her desire that that or ganization should look after the inter- ment and other matters pertaining tC his death.
 MT. Ed Block is figuring on the cost of his new building while waiting fol the debris to be cleared away for the purpose of excavating and putting 1T the foundation. He intends to put 1T twelve-inch party walls on either side which will sustain a two story struc ture, twenty-five feet frontage by on hundred and thiFly feet deep.
 Most of the buildings on that side O. the plaza will be two stories in neigh and the Hotel Burke building will be a least three. Samuel Hill will be tenn poTarily quartered in the brick build ing just north of the Prescott Hous

Weather That IL Too Torrid
~ a - to Be Recorded. PHI

The cottonwoods have shed their
caterpillars, there has been a thun.
derstorm, mesquite wood has fallen
in price, Indians are selling bows and
arrows, the rose and the oleander have
long been out, oranges are in bloom
the umbrella tree is putting out its
leaves, last summers suit has bee;,
cleaned and pressed, the small boy has
gone swimming in the canal, the wise
man stays up nights and steals irri.
CATION water from his neighbours, al
falfa is almost ready to cut, straw
berries have been shipped, mulberries
are nearly ripe, summer will soon be
here and the Phoenix summer bed.
room will soon be necessary, says re-
cent issue of the Phoenix Graphic.
f. Phoenix sleeps out of doors in the
summer and the bedroom is born out
OF that necessity. It is on stills, is
built of wire screen of fine mesh, for
the Phoenix mosquito is microscopic
in size. It is furnished according to
the taste of the occupant, with inte-
rior curtains to- keep out the morn
ing sun. the gaze of the curious and
the sandstorm.
The bed is a cot of canvas or wove,.
wire, covered, perhaps, with sheet,
but even a sheet feels like feather
bed on a Phoenix summer night. The
bed covering is the roof of the bed
room, and careless folks who consult
their comfort only don't wear night
shirts.
Phoenix is proud of it's climate dur
ing eight months of the year, but it
doesn't talk much in public about it's
midsummer. 1t is right warm day
when the government weather bureau
doesn't know what the sun tempera.
ture is and is unable to determine it.,
and that is how hot it gets ino Phoe-
nix. I called on Observer Burns one
day last July and asked MIN what the
"of1iciap' temperature was IN the sun.
He said he did not know. and that
the government couldn't afford to ex-
pertinent to that end. He said he had
attempted to catch the sun tempera-
ture during the summer of 1898 and
had broken a three-dollar thermom-
eter in the attempt. To please my GU.
riosity he hung thermometer in the
sun, watched it until it registered 13G
degrees and then took it in, fearing
it would break.
The dryness of the atmosphere re.
lieves this great heat of any terrors
to all living things except women an6
cats. There is saying in Phoenix
that women and cats in summer are
nervously Frustrated, while men and
dogs thrive and grow fat. There is
luxury in quenching ones thirst
during the summer heat that is posi-.
BILE nowhere this side of the hereafter.
and nothing will quench it so we'll as
water. The average mortal can drink
a gallon Of water per day during the
heated term, and apparently every
drop of it comes out through the
pores of the skin. ,.

The score which Miss Edith has
made in the field and marsh is also a
most excellent one and shows she now
possesses more skill than the average
sportsman. 1t is not an uncommon
occurrence for her to come in from
the marshes with plenty of game, es-
pecially rabbits. Recently she re-
ceived an English setter dog from tho
well-known kennels of w. r. Lyons,
of Piqua, O.. and to say that she now
thoroughly enjoys the sport is I, mild
expression. 1t is predicted by To-
cal sportsmen that, with no fatality,
a few months hence, Miss Edith will
rank among the best trap shooters of
her sex in America.
