who was held under the same indict
ment, was dismissed, there not being
sufficient incriminatiDg evidence OBJ
tainable to give the case any standing
in court. Mr.. Miller returned with
his family to his old home in the east
Fain will return to Yuma in few
days.-Yuma Sun.
Artesian water has been found a
| Adamana, on the line OF the Santa FL
railroad, over in Apache county, anC
| there is no reason why it cannot bt
| found in other localities in north Ari
zona. The finding OF big bodies o
water in this country would open up tC
! agriculture the richest lands in the
whole territory. In this county there
are millions OF acres OF the richest
lands in the world awaiting reclaima
tion.-Kingman Miner.
Col. Andrew Cronley Is in from hi.
San Pedro ranch and confirms the re-
port OF the development OF artesian
water on John Browns ranch. Three
wells are flowing as much as can gush
through a 4 inch pire. a seven inch
hole is now being put down, which ii
is believed will strike the flowing wat
er at 30 feet or less. Col. Cronley says
he believes that sufficient artesian
water can be developed to cultivate all
of the available land in that part OF
the valley.-Tucson Star.
Eighty-two locomotives are required
by the S. p. railroad to keep pace with
the increasing traffic between Yuma
and FL Paso. The traffic has so in
creased that the yards in this place
are taxed to their limit, with empty
and loaded cars, although they are re-
moved as fast as possible. This is due
in great part to the construction OF the
Southwestern and the Cananea rail
roads on the other side OF the boundary
line, as well as to the progressive
strides that Sonora is making in all of
its industries. Benson Press.
The great stride that has been
made in putting on the new line of
boats to connect with the ocean steam
ers of San Jorge Bay, has already de-
veloped great demand for transpor-
tation from many sources. The Mex
icO- Colorado Navigation company is
constructing stern wheel steamers and
barges of the finest lightest and
strongest material to be had in the
market, and it will be the best equip
ped line that has ever been put on the
Colorado river. This line will be the
means Of bringing to life many unde
veloped mines and oil lands that now
lie dormant along the Colorado, await
ing transportation facilities to give
them great value.-Yuma Sentinel.
In retiring from business Martin
Costello does so only to give more time
and attention to his large real estate
holdings, mining and diversified inter-
ests here and elsewhere. He has been
identified with Tombstone since early
days and has arisen to an enviable
height in the ranks OF Arizona's
wealthiest citizens. Shrewd and far
seeing, he believes in Arizona's future
and does not propose to cast his lot
outside its lines. "Arizona is good
enough for me-" said the man who has
pioneered and made his wealth in the
sun kissed land and is backing the
sentiment by substantial investments
in Arizona bonds and realty. MAY
fortune continue TO favor him.

Mrs. Snowgrass and her son, the lat
ter being the secretary for the Kern
County Cattle company, got lost be-
tween Benson and st. Dayid's Friday
night and had to remain out all night
without water, and to cap the climax,
next morning after daylight they start
ed to hitch up their horse to return to
Benson and he.broke the rope and left
them afoot. The old lady started out
afoot, the young man being unable to
walk on account of sickness. Going
back down the gulch which the even
ing before they had taken for road,
she found the main county road, but
like all lost people she took the wrong
end of the road and travelled about
three miles, when she met Mr.. William
Abell coming to Benson. Fortunately
he had a canteen OF water in his wagon
and after satisfying the thirst OF the
old lady he lifted her into his wagon
and went at once to the rescue OF her
son. He finally landed them safely in
Benson, none the worse for their excit-
ing experience. Do not travel IN Ari-
zona in hot weather without water
