ELYTON CITIZENS
Will Consider Question of Incorporation.
 Meet Tonight.

The question of incorporating the town of Elyton, is again being aggitated. A mass meeting of the citizens of that dis trict has been called for this evening at 7:3O o'clock to consider the question.
 At an election held on November on the question of incorporating Eyton and Smith, field into one municipality the anti-incorpo- ration faction was successful by vote of S5 to 55. The purpose of the meeting to- night will be to consider the question of in corporation of Elyton alone. The call for the meeting follows:
 Whereas at an election held in November, 1900, in Elyton on the question of incorpo- rating Elyton and Smthfield into one municipality there were 96 votes cast for in- GOT poration and 55 against incorporation and
 Whereas, We, the undersigned citizens favor leaving out Smithfield and incorporat- ing Elyton alone, taking the Elyton canal as the northern boundary line, believing that thereby we can more readily secure a suitable public school building and prohibit the manufacture or sale of liquors in the Elyton territory, hereby ask all citizens of Elyton residing south of the canal and west of the city limits to assemble in mass meet ing at Salter's store on Tuesday evening. January 22, at 7:30 o'clock to discuss the above questions and t9 take such action as the meeting may think proper.

WILL APPEAL TO
 THE LEGISLATURE
For Means to Relieve Deficit in
 General Funds of County
BOARD OF REVENUE ACTS
Wants Power to Divert Part of Other Funds-Some Opposition to Plan. Colonel Jackson Says Board is
 Wrong in the Matter.

The Legislature will be asked to relieve the deficit in the general fund of Jefferson County by amending the local laws so that 50 per cent of the road found and the sur plus of the solicitors fund may be diverted into the general fund which it is estimated will increase that fund about $25,OOO per annum.
 The conference of the Board of Revenue and the Jefferson County members of the Legislature to consider plans to relieve the situation was held yesterday and the above plan was agreed upon and bills so amend ing the law will be introduced in both houses of the Legislature when it recon vens next week.
 Present at the conference were the mem- bers of the board and Senator Morrow and Representa- lives O'Brien and Lacy, and the question was at once taken up. It was shown that deficit of about s65, 900 in the general fund of the county faced the board and that it was necessary that immediate action be taken.
 Some Opposition.
 The plan to divert 50 per cent of the road fund, including the bridge fund, into the general fund was suggested and met with some opposition, but after thorough dis cusson a majority of the board voted to ask the Legislature to so amend the law The estimated revenue from the road fund for the year Is $49 422.10 which would add to the general fund nearly $25,000.
 The fact that only part of the deficit would be met by this plan was impressed on those present and at a session held in the afternoon proposition to so amend the law as to divert the surplus from the so- hcitor's fund into the general fund was taken up and adopted.
 Just what amount the latter change will add to the general fund cannot be stated, but last year this surplus, which amounted to about $5000, was divided into the fine and forfeiture fund and it is estimated that a like amount will be available this year.
 Colonel Jackson Talks.
 Col. J. F. B. Jackson, supervisor of roads, in speaking of the action of the board, stated that figures published in the afternoon papers were misleading and that as a matter of fact the road fund together with the bridge fund will not amount to over $55,0O0, and that next years colec- tions from the $2 fund will be reduced by incorporated towns and enlargement to about $12,000.
 He further stated that if the proposed changes in the laws were made and the funds diverted that it would leave only about $35, GOO for the roads, of which there are over 1900 miles in the county
 Colonel Jackson was not present, nor was he invited to attend the conference, and further states that the board was evil dently informed as to the condition of the road. He will prepare a statement show ing the exact figures.
 According to his figures there is a fixed charge of $11,500 for interest on bonds against the 10-cent fund.- which is esti- mated this year at about $S7,500, leaving only about S2S0OO from this source.

RESERVOIR IN APACHE
Mormons Planning the Construction
 of An Impounding System.

Richard Gibbons. an assemblyman of Apache county, with residence at St. Johns, tells of the work of the Nor mons along the Little Colorado river, their plans for developing a new water supply and the immigration from Utah of more Mormons which inevlta- bly will follow. There are now several hundred Mormon families farming along the Little Colorado river under an irrigation system, in which a few small reservoirs form a part. Probably 15,00O acres of land, once barren wastes, are now under cultivation, and when new plans are carried out the amount of land reclaimed will be doubled, re- sulting in an increase of population of several hundred. The Mormons purpose to construct a new reservoir by which they may store and regulate the flood waters of the Little Colorado river, affording a more certain supply for land already under cultivation and for the acreage to be reclaimed.
 This undertaking will be carried out as Is customary with MormOns on the cooperative plan, each male of the colony contributing an equal amount of labor and money and enjoying equal

JOE MEANS MURDERED.

SIMMS CASE JURORS
File Claims Against the County For
 Services Rendered

Action was begun yesterday that will probably settle Q question that has ag- itarnd jurors in justice courts in thii county for a long time. It has been generally understood that jury men in criminal cases in the justice court could not collect jury fees and for some time no effort has been made to collect such fees. This precedent was, established few years ago when demands were made on the county, re- fused, and the refusal sustained by the higher court.
 4 search of the statut as convinced tha jurymen in the Simms case, tried d few days ago by Justice Burnett. that juty' fees were legal claims against the county and they decided @ make a test case of their claims. When their yer, diet was ready and before handing it in. they called the justice and demand ed their fees. He told them all he could do was to certify to their having performed the service and they could preslnt the bin to the cSunty.
 Their verdict was then handed in and yestGrday t'he iurymen made out claims against the county for two days serv- ice each. and filed them with the board of supervisors.
 In 1S93 the territorial legislature passed an act repeating paragraph 1891 of the revised statutes of 1897 which provided fees for jurors In justices courts. In 1895 the legislature repealed the aet of 1893 and re-enacted the par agrarh repealed in 1893. It is on this showing that the jurors in the Simms case base their claims for fees.

enoluments.

eIlOlunlentS.
 The Mormons of Arizona. numbering several thousand, are settled in colon ies in eastern Arizona interspe rsed al- most from the extreme northern to the extreme southern limits of the terri tory. They occupy farming lands in villages. which they have reclaimed themselves. In Apache county they are principally engaged in stock rais- Ing and the product of their farms is consumed at home, it being more profit able to send out only live stock. The communities are almost entirely worlds within a world, as the inhabitants send abroad for few articles, produc- ing and manufacturing at home most of the food and articles required, The communities are all in a flourishing condition. Every inhabitant is com fortably supplied with this worlds s goods, but doubtless there is not a rich Mormon in Arizona.
 The work outlined by them several years ago of retaining desert land for their settlements Is being carried out even better than anticipated. They are engaged in, and planning, reservoir construction in Apache county while around Stafford and Solomonville and other parts in Graham county and near nson they are developing artesian water. Farming there also is being conducted in fertile valleys under irrigation systems. which. however, are not merely fed by streams which are .capricious in the volume of water car rted at the different seasons, but by great natural springs. Arteslan wells promise to become important feeders to these irrigation systems. rendering them extensive and reliable.
