CLARK ELECTRICAL ENTERPRISE.
Project to Furnish Powerto Operate Mines
 In Globe and Mineral Greek District.
IFrom the Globe Silver Belt.l

 Chas. M. Clark and his son Glib re- turned last Friday, accompanied by Mir. w. Meridith, of the firm of Ben jamin, Hunt, Corey & Meridith, elec- trical engineers, of San Francisco. Mir. Meridith's visit is for the purpose of making a critical examination of Mir. Clark's electrical transmission enterprise, and the organization of the company to carry on the project will depend largely on MT. Meridith's re- port.
 The party left Globe Sunday morn- ing for upper Salt river, where the generating plant is to be located, and they will spend three or four weeks in making the survey. TLey will lay the grade for the canal to conduct the water from the intake at tae mouth of Cherry creek to the head of Medier gulch, from which point it is proposed to conduct the water in pressure pipe to the wheels to be installed at the level of the river. Mir. Clark expects to. get a 300 foot head, and develop 4OOO h. D., which with liberal allow. ance for loss of power will give an efficiency of 5000 h. p.
 It is proposed to transmit the power to Globe and to any point in the dis trict where it may be required to oper- ate mines and reduction works and for lighting purposes. The line will also be continued to Ray and Kelvin, and in the event of having surplus oi power above the requirements of the sections named. it would be practic able to extend the line to Phoenix al an additional cost of $50,000.
 MT. Meridith's company is the mos eminent firm of electrical engineers or the coast. They installed the Spreckle. light and power system in San Fran cisco, and have a similar contract ir Honolulu. Mir. Meridith personall, superintended the construction of the great electrical power plant on th, Comstock, which was recently com pleted

THE Jefferson Democrat, published at Hillsboro, Mo-, one of the leading \ country newspapers of the State, was established in 1856 by Chas. D. Reppy and Chas. A. Clark, and is now owned and ably edited by R. w. MeMullen, brother-in-law of the former. The fol- lowing article taken from receot is- sue is convincing proof that the Dem- ocrat is sound on the main issues now before the American people:
 Senator Carter of Montana has been harshly criticised for talking to death the River and Harbor appropriation bill. His action was probably without a parallel in the U. s congress. It is not uncommon for the minority in the senate to take advantage passage of objectionable bills by continuous speech making but Senator Carter belonged to the majority and blocked a measure in which bis party was interested and which
 
 Before condemning him it will be well to consider the circumstances and the reasons which impelled him to take the course he did. There is vast section of this country iarily interested in the improvement of the waterways for navigable purposes, but in- tensely interested in the storage and control of water for irrigation purposes. With q providing good homes for millions of people. Without water much of it will have to re- main an uninhabitabie desert. The Monta- ma senator is presumed to have been looking sented. He wanted appropriations for res ervoirs for irrigation, and as the majority in congress had decided that there was not funds enough for that purpose and to also continue the work of improving the rivers and harbors after providing for other gov ernment expenses they refused his appro- priations; and he adopted the only method left for keeping even. The proper question for the entire public to consider is, Why is there not money enough for both the inn provement of the rivers and the storage res- ervoirs9 The answer i;s easy. Too much Is being spent in maintaining an ermy of crim- inal aggression. If instead of sacrificing thousands of American citizens and mil lions of American dollars in @ war of con quest the money was spent in developing the territory already belonging to us there Is no telling how much good could be accomplished. The expenditure of money would not need to be increased cent the sacrifice of American lives would bt stopped; the administration would be com mended for keeping within the limits of the constitution and laws of the country, ant the nation would resume its lost position as friend of freedom and justice.

The Bryan Mines.
From the Globe Silver Belt.l

We learn from Mrs. Clara Kinney, principal owner of the Bryan copper mines, situated on the Gila river near Kelvin, that the U. $. patent to the chief mines of the group has been re- ceived from Washington. Important development work on the property now under way is a tunnel to crosscut tn e several lodges. The tunnel, which starts from the river level, has been driven about 60 feet and is now in iron carrying gold, indicating that it will soon cut the first ledge. It is the in- tention to continue this tunnel into the mountain 400 feet, which will give a depth on the main ledge of some 600 feet. The shipment of ore has been resumed.

Railroad to La Cananeas.
lrrom the Tucson Star.l

Scott White, ex-sherif of Cochise couH y, was at the San Xavier on Sun day, accompanied by his wife. E. A. Mcfarland, engineer in chief of the Green Consolidated Copper company's railroad interests, came with Mir. White. The latter had long talk with Colonel Randolph, who was re- gently driven to the Cansneas from Eaeo Iy tne ex-sheriff. The latter held the ribbons over the finest pair of horses in Cochise county on that particular occasion, fact, Mir. White was pleased to remark.
 Messrs. White and Mcfarland were en route to San Francisco, where they are to meet President Greene of the Greene Consolidated Copper Co.,, he having wired Mir. White that he had bought the necessary steel rails for g miles of railroad from Naco to the Cananeas camp. The grade is com paratively easy, said Mir. White.
 The Tombstone Prospector seems to have caught on to tue idea that the s. P. intended to run line from Co chise station to Pearce, Turquois, Tombstone and Naco, there to connect with the Greene Consolidated Copper company's line. It does look that way, though Mir. White was noncommittal on that point. The G. c. c. Co. will be great feeder to such line and il is known fact that the other points have been for years, especially SC Pearce and Tombstone. The latter will be a big feeder following the reopen ing of the mines in the Tom bstone dis trict.

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange @ the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces.
