FOR A CREATE NAL.
Charles N. Cox Has lat Encour.
agement Toward Promo
ton of the Project.

Charles n. Cox, late manager OF the
Colorado Sugar Manufacturing COM
papy's plant, has just arrived homo from
Denver whore he has been for the past
week or more, very busily engaged in
work looking toward the promotion OF
tho great canal project for this valley,
known ~ the High Line ditch.
For some time past Mr.. Coz has been
working on the proposed great waterway
for tho irrigation of the unreclaimed
lands Of the Grand valley, and he be-
lieves that at tho present time he has
the matter we'll in hand, il he can secure
the cooperation of tho psople of the
valley, owning land under the proposed
high line canal.
The men whom he says he has inter
ested in the matter, have just recently
completed the great ditch in the Bear
Creek valley in California and the work
has been 10 successfully done that they
arc ready to put through this great pro-
ject, il they can receive the right encour-
agenent frsm the people.
The mon to whom Mr.. Cox refers,
huve been over the proposed line. in fact
they accompanied Mr.. Cox over the
ground some months ago, and are thor
ougAly familiar with the prospects ahead
of the undertaking. It will cost half
million dollars to build the canal and the
only manner in which it can be done to
be made profitable to the people owning
land under the ditch, and to those who
propose to put up the money, is to colon
izs the land.
II the effort Of Mr.. Cox is successful,
and he rarely goes into anything in the
line Of promotion Of which he makes a
failure, in lees than eighteen months
there should be three thousand families
settled and permanently located under
the ditch.
The Grand valley has never undertaken
any great scheme of colonization, but
this manner of settling lands which are
now. has been most successfully worked
in other parts of the country. less favor
ably located than is the splendid land oi
tho Grand valley.
All tho various phases of the PROPOSE
ton have been gone over by Mr.. Coz
with the gentlemen whom he has inter
sstsd up to the point almost Of making
. start, not the least OF them being that
the Denver 4 Rio Grands road would
have to raise their tracks in tho canon in
ora.. that the canal could be built
through the canon.
This matter has already been thor.
oughly Investigated by Mr.. Cox and be
took the matter up with the Rio Grande
very recently and while they stated that
1t would cost great deal OF money they
would only be too glad to do 20 for the
permanent benefit OF the valley and
the increased shipments which would
come thsrsfron, when under successful
cultivation.
Mr.. Cox IL thoroughly confident he
can secure the capital to build this great
canal, which has been the dream Of the
people Of the valley for years, with the
exception Of one little elf" Will the
people who own the land under the pro.

Oil! Oil! On!.

That there is petroleum on or near the Colorado there is now not the shadow of doubt. Some time ago oil indications were noticed in the Potholes district and on closer ex- animation oil was found in several places on the surface of the ground.
 A party of Yuma people last week located about 1900 acres near the Senator mine, where the choicest oil land is situated.
 Among the locators are F. M. Riley, c. L. Brown, w. E. Marvin, George Sexsmith, James s. Rhea, ". H. Elliott, T. w. Underhill, Goe Paxoth and James P. Buck.
 F. M. Riley and James S.. Rhea are the original discoverers. The story of the find was circulated in town Mon day and considerable excitement now prevails. Many people have gone to the new oil fields and very little land in that district now remains unlocated.
 A rig will be placed on the ground and well sunk within very short time. Just one glimpse of the prop critics is sufficient to convince the most skeptical that oil is there in abundance. The sand is greasy and smells of oil. Sandstone, salt and gypsum are there in abundance. In some places oil oozes out of the ground.
 What more could be desired? Next winter will see oil developed on the Colorado river. The owners of the new find will organize an oil company and no stone will be left unturned to develop the property.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube When this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re- suit, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition oi the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case ot Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir cuIars, free

A NEW BONANZA.
The Hodges Mining District Verit-
 able GOlcOnda.

George Hodges came in Monday from his mining properties in River side county, situated near the river and about eighty miles from Yuma A new mining district has been or ganized there which is known as the Hodges mining district.
 MT. Hodges holdings comprise a group of about thirteen claims of gold bearing quartz and the average assay is about $65 per ton. The lowest average of any one of the claims is not lower than $10.
 The group comprises the following claims: La Marrita, Fl Recuerdo, The Old Cow, The Golden Star, The Gold Nugget, The Gold Chain, The Gold Locket, The Wild Goat, The Amer jean Flag, The Military, The King of California and The Gold Bullion. George is the principal owner but as sociated with him are Santiago Lopez, P. B. Hodges, Frank and Albert Hod- ges and l.. J. F. Jaeger. A 2-stamp mill was taken up the river short time ago which will be in operation by the middle of September. The group will, without doubt, prove one of the greatest mining properties of the southwest. Considerable develop ment work has been done and the owners now have enough ore in sight to pay for a ten-stamp mill and clear $40,000. Enough ore at $l0 ton and up is already in sight to run fifty stamps. The Marrita claim assayed $1.25 on the surface, at thirteen feet $29.14 and at twenty-two feet $50, which proves that the mines go down. An abundance of wood and water are contiguous to the property, everything being favorable for the successful operation of the mines.
 The first discovery was made about three months ago ty George and Santiago Lopez and since that time the various other claims have been located. The owners already see visions of palaces and automobiles, a life of wealth and ease. We hope their golden dreams will be fully realiz- ed. George will spend a week or two at Santa Catalina before returning to the mines.

AN ECHO OF PHILADELPHIA.

"'God bless Arizona,' that's what he said," remarked j. w. Dorring- ton, of Yuma, Ariz., to-day, as he passed through Kansas City on his return from the Republican Ma tional Convention. He referred to the exclamation of Gov. Roosevelt in the convention, when the Arlz- ona standard passed by him in the demonstration which followed his nomination for the vice presidency. "When our standard passed down the aisle to where Gov. Roosevelt was sitting, we stopped to shake hands with him. Gov. Roosevelt accepted the congratulations, and then glanced up to see what state they came from. He saw the name of Arizona, and exclaimed, with emotion and enthusiasm, God bless Arizona, and how are all the boys?'"
 Mir. Darlington is editor of the Arizona Sentinel, published at Yuma, and he remarked, as he stood  in the intense heat of the monday sun in Kansas City, that he felt now as though he was getting to- ward home, for Yuma has the re- putation of being the hottest place in this world, and perhaps hotter than any in the next.
 eve feel very we'll satisfied with the Philadelphia convertion," said MT. Darlington. "We got all we went after, for Roosevelt was the man the fellows out West wanted, and they can't beat him any where in. our part of the world. We expect to see the Republican ticket win this year, and we wanted Roosevelt on it."
 MT. Darlington says that the stories of the richness of the United Verde, w. A. Clark's Arizona cop per mine, have not been exaggerat- ed, and that the common belief in the territory is that his profits from this mine alone last year were over $1o,0oO,oOO.
 q am going up to visit my old home in Nebraska, near Lincoln" said Mir. Darlington. II am on the committee appointed to notify the President of hls renomination, and will have to go East very soon again on that mission. know MT. Bryan very we'll. He used to be neighbor of mine, and I've talked politics with him time and again. But he is on the wrong platform for us to follow in Arizona. We are for expansion, good and Eard."

\ Rich Mans PrOieots

A rich mans statement that he in- tends to devote almost his entire for tune to charitable works has aroused much discussion. This is because it will accomplish much good, It is a pralsewc rthy endeavor, but there are many other agencies which accom- plish just as much good. Take Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters for instance the great American remedy. For fifty years it has cured constipation, dyspepsia and all the ills which arise from weak digestion. This medicine will keep the stomach in good shape and the bowels regular. Itis wonder ful restorative tonic and health builder. It is also a preventive for malaria, fever and ague. Ask for 1t, and insist upon having it. See that a Private Revenue Stamp covers the neck of the bottle.

Why Democrats Should Nominate Him

 Tn order to win this election two things must be done We must pull together the forces which in 1896 allied themselves against the Republican party and we must go into the camp of the opposition with a large number of recruits.
 Tn my judgment the most important question at the present moment, and the one destined to overshadow all others in the discussion of the campaign, is the question of imperialism.
 My name will be presented to the Ma tional Democratic Convention and strength of which I am already assured, and the general feeling of friendliness towards me by Democrats, lead me to declare my nomination as very probable

 WHO KNOWS II Body Lies at Warner-Smiley's Unidentihed-kIIIed by
 Electric Car.

Information that will lead to the iden- tifcation of a dead man now lying at the undertaking establishment of the Warner Smiley Company in Twentieth street, is badly wanted by Coroner Dallas. If there be any one in Birmingham or elsewhere who can furnish the desired information the coroner would like to know it.
 It will be recalled that an unknown man was killed by an electric car at Walker Station on the Ensley car line three or four days ago, and that all inquiries as to his identity were unavailing. His body was taken in charge of by the Warner-Smiley Company, and has since been held by them. number of persons have called at their place but no one has so far recogT nized the victim of the
 Coronor Dallas describes the man as having been about 3S or 40 years of age, rather large, with ford complexion, red mustache and hair with reddish tinge. H4is clothes and appearances indicated that he was a working man and also that he was not a tramp. There were no pa pers or other articles on his body by which his identity could be established
 The coronor will cause thu body to re- main at Warner -Smiley's few days long CT in order that every effort may be made to ascertain who the man was.

SMELL HANGED
The Murderer of Lizzie Weisenberge1
 Hanged in Washington

Washington, June 29-Benjamin Hill Shell, aged A. formerly a clerk in the Pension Office, was hanged at the District Jail at noon today for the murder of 13- year-old Lizzie Wiesenberger, who was em- ployed at his home, and with whom he was infatuated. Shell was the largest man ever executed here. When he was received at the jail August last, he weighed 29S pounds and measured feet inches in height. When led to the scaffold today his weight was 237 pounds. Notwithstand- ing that the drop was considerably les sened on account of his size, the rope nearly severed the murderers head from his body. Shell claimed from the first that he had no recollection of his crime and his actions tended to bear out the theory of his lawyers that he was insane. Physi- clans and experts who examined him, how ever, pronounced him sane. Shell came here from Georgia, where his relatives now reside

SELMA.

Selma, June 29-(Special)-It was report ed today that work had begun on the ex- tension of the Birmingham Selma and New Orleans Railroad from Martins, the pres- ent terminus of the line, to Linden, but an interview with MT E. B. Martin, one of the owners of the road, develops the fact that the rumor is not true. However, Major B. Mickle, the engineer of the road, and his corps are in the field making the last survey preparatory to the grading of the extension. The engineers left Martin last Tuesday and it is thought they will make the distance, which is about forty miles, within three weeks time.
 No road projected from this city would be of greater advantage to Selma than this extension. It would bring at the lowest calculation S5,000 additional bales of cot ton to Selma and would increase our trade to a large extent
