PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 9-The pro-
posed establishment of settlement of
Beers in Arizona bids fair to become
| reality soon. For sometime friends in
this country. of the Beers, have been
| discussing plans for the colonizing of
great number of Transvaalers and
Free Staters who desire to leave South
Africa. Members of the Afrikander
Bund suggested that tract of land in
Arizona be secured and allotted equally
among Boer immigrants.
Recently Ernest Beebe and Hermann
Fruend, who for more than a year have
been labOring in this country for the
Boer cause, arrived here from New
York and have been investigating var
ious sections of Arizona and northern
northern part of this territory and then
to the City of Mexico. In this sec
ton they examined carefully govern
ment land, the quality of the soil and
its adaptability to irrigation. In the
ella valley, adjoining the Pima Indian
which suited them. In southern Ari-
zona they found much range country
which could be made available for
stock raising, provided water storage
could be secured. In the north they
will examine the cattle ranges.
In northern Mexico they found large
tracts of land which are ideally To-
Gated for agricultural purposes. and
their visit to the Mexican capital will
be made for the purpose of discussing
with government officials, the secure
ment of concessions to land. Both
representatives are in favor of locating
a colony in Mexico, provided the Uni
tedStates government cannot be per-
suaded to allot them land and water
in Arizona. The Mexican government
| is making a particularly strong effort
to settle its enormous area of waste
land in the northern part of the re-
public, and doubtless will make liberal
concessions to secure such class Of
industrious citizens as the Boer farm
ers will make. Nearly all the land

under irrigation. After the visit to the
Mexican Capital Beebe and Fruend in
tend to go to Washington and discuss
their plans with the officials of the
department of the interior Beebe says
that if $4,000 acres of good agricultural
land can be secured in Arizona and the
government will provide water storage.
or contribute to that end, 1000 Beers
and their families will come over at
once and take up the land.
The Beers, he says, will make the
best kind of law-abiding, Industrious
citizens and he believes the people of
Arizona will favor the project because
the large addition to the population.
the additional area of land put under
cultivation and the increased output of
the products, will give valuable
strength to the territory's plea for
statehood. The colony, he asserts
would be of value also, to land own
ers in Arizona from the fact that the
settlement here would attract many
other settlers from South Africa who
would buy lands that are already under
cultivation.

The ASSESSORSHIP
Seems to Be the Most Attract
i've Plum, and Nobody
Seems to Want the
Mayorship.

The coming municipal campaign con-
tinues to be the chief topic of con-
versation among curb stone politicians
and at every point where loiterers
congregate there is sure to be found
one or more persons who are able and
ready to tell all about the situation
and name the next mayor.
Some of these knowing ones are even
more familiar with the situation than
1.-The boss" himself and can tell exactly
just who is going to succeed Magoffin
and who will be the candidates before
the democratic convention.
Among the names already mentioned
by The Herald as possibilities to sue
ceed Magoffin J. B. w. Burton, the lum-
Der man, is now most frequently spok-
en- of. 1t is said that he would like to
receive the nomination and apparently
he has considerable support. Burton
has been an alderman since the last
election and he is in the same class as
Badger and Clifford, who usually stand
for the economical expenditure of pub
lie money
Another man who has recently ac-
quired prominence as a possibility 4s
Frank Powers. 1t is said that he could
make things interesting for his oppon
ents. He is now chief of the fire de-
partment and has many politically
strong personal friends.
Business men as a rule seem to be
anxious to see an end put to ring rule
and an Independent business mans
ticket with the proper man at its head
might win out at the polls on electio 1
day 1t could not possibly carry, how
ever, without perfect organization.
Aldermanic Changes.
1t is understood that there will be
a number of voluntary changes on the
board of aldermen at the next cleo
tion. Joe Grant, it is claimed will as
pire to higher honors and a more lu-
crative position in the spring and will
ask the people to make him city as
SCISSOR and collector. That will create
a vacancy in the third.
Maury Edwards and Frank Powers
are both spoken of as successors to
Grant.
1t is also stated that Alderman
George Ogden finds that his business
interests will require his entire atten-
ton and will not seek any further
glory in politics. In case he retires
vacancy will be created in the first
Among others spoken of as possible
additions to the board. Dick Caples is
mentioned as a possible candidate
from the fourth.
All in all the situation is becoming
quite interesting and the professional
slate maker is now busy keeping tab
of the numerous political aspirants.
The Office of city assessor seems to
be an especially desirable one this year
as the crop of candidates for that po-
sition is greater than ever before.
1t is conceded that Assessor Smith
wants to succeed himself but his aspi-
rations serve as no bar to others, for.
If reports be true, Tim Lyons. Joe
Grant and Sam Dwyer are all in the
race seeking to succeed Smith

FIRE IN THE NEWS OFFICE.

We have word to say, In another
column, about the danger of fire in Ely.
We little thought, when writing that
local, that its first illustration would be
in our own Office. Yet such Is the
case. About noon on Monday our Of
fee was discovered to be on fire. Nei-
ther the editor nor the foreman was In
the Office at the time. The alarm was
given oy two little girls, and soon the
cry of ''fire" was heard and number
OF energetic workmen were on hand.
Fortunately there was no wind and the
roof burned slowly. BY climbing to
the ridge pole, and using buckets of
water, the flames were quickly extin-
guished; not, however, before making
a great hole in the roof, In order to get
at the seat OF the fire.
The accident was caused by a defec-
tive stove-pipe, and might occur in any
house in the town. The pipe had be-
come disjointed, and being entirely out
of sight, the danger could not be un-
derstood until the flames appeared
One thing was clearly shown by this
accident, every house in town should
have stationery ladder leading to the
roof, and movable one on the roof,
Itself. There are ladders, of course, in
town, but they are rarely available In
time Of necessity. And the delay of an
half hour might seal the doom OF a
burning building. Let no house be
considered complete which has not a
quick and easy way of mounting to the
roof
This office had close call. We do
not like to think OF what the result
might have been. To the citizens of
Ely who so quickly and earnestly offer
ed their aid, we return our sincere
thanks, and the thanks of the Compa-
ny.

An accident OF some kind at the Elec-
Ely good deal of inconvenience for a
few days last week. Electric lights are
like many other OF our modern luxu-
ries, we do not know how much we val
ne them until we lose them. 1t was
comical to see the busy housewife get
ting ready for the coming darkness,
searching in dusty corners for the long
unused lamp. or looking around for
s'the light OF other days"-the world
famous tallow candle. Wicks had to
be trimmed, and chimneys cleaned, =
1t is only nations that in time of peace
prepare for war, and the supply OF oil
looked into. Candle-sticks OF various
patterns we're brought into. use, and
the candle and matches were placed
carefully by the bedside when the hour
for retiring arrived. But somehow the
candle and matches are never where
we think they are, should they be
needed in the night. o light of other
days, where are the charms that our
grand -sires have seen in thy faceY Old
Mother Goose wrote about thee and
made thee famous. But give us the
Electric Light, and may few accidents
happen to the machinery.
Some unknown parties were practi-
sing pistol shooting at lively rate the
other evening, In the neighborhood of
Chinatown. We could not learn for
certain whether it was Chinese or an
Indian row. AT any rate, 1t Is safe to
say that it was the result of too much
whisky. One OF these days thero will
be an interesting Coroner's inquest, as
somebody, not quite as drunk as his
neighbor, will shoot straight. Wheth-
er 1t will be over the body of the China
man who sold the whisky, or the In
dian who bought the whisky from
him, does not matter. In the mean
time, it is not at all pleasant for quiet
man to sit in his room, and hear the
report of firearms, like the charge o.
an invading army.

Mr.. MARX IN SALT LAKE.
Tells of BIy's Prospects to A
Tribune Reporter.

The Salt Lake Tribune speaking OF
our townsman, Mr.. Marx, says:
After an absence OF more than a
year during which he has been super
intending developments on the prop
erty of the Ely Mining company at Ely
Nevada, J. G. Marx is back In town,
seeking to boil the crimps out of a
rheumatic joint. OF the Ely compa-
nys mine Superintendent Marx says It
is prospectively one of the most pro-
ductive in the camp, and that the turn
out OF gold bullion will begin with the
starting up of the new mill within the
next thirty days. In the meantime he
has succeeded in opening up a fine quail
ity OF ore in three new places, about 400
feet distant from the main workings,
and everything over there is in most
satisfactory condition.
The Chainman's management. which
is splendidly organized one, is now
getting ready to inaugurate work on
the new mill, which is to be erected by
the company. At the Sapho, in which
DR.. Keogh, and other Salt Lakers, are
largely interested, the contractors are
driving for connection with two known
chutes OF ore. The camp is growing
rapidly, says Mr.. Marks. and promises
to become one of the most populous, as
well as productive in the State. For
many years he was identified with the
camps OF Tintic, and his judgment will
be interesting to many mining men.

WONDERS OF NEVADA.
Told By j. A. Snedaker, of West
Camp.

The Pacific Coast Miner, of Jan. Is,
says:
One OF the most interesting OF the
many surprising, II not extravagant,
stories concerning great mineral dis
coveries of recent date on the Pacific
slope, is told by j. A. Snedaker, who
recently returned from Ely, Nevada,
where he and his associates-Byron T..
Shear; +. l.. Giroux, and wealthy
Chicago capitalist-have secured 500
acres of copper property. Mr.. Sneda-
ker compares the district with Butte,
and says that at depth of 200 or 300
feet the ore, which is oxidized at the
surface, comes into an immense body
OF sulphides, the vein matter being
from 250 to 500 feet between walls, and
bodies OF solid sulphides ten to fifteen
feet wide being encountered that carry
fifteen per cent copper, thirty-fiye per
cent iron and twenty-five per cent sui
phur, making an ideal ore for a matt
ing plant. In one of the properties Wis.,
tied by him, the shaft is down about
200 feet and cross-cut showed the vein
to be 100 feet wide between walls, and
carrying several streaks of sulphides.
This property was recently examined
for sale and the engineer's estimate is,
that there are 225, 900 tons of ore above
the 200 foot level. The company with
which Mr.. Snedaker is connected is
sinking three shafts, and in each of
them will open large bodies of ore.
