for sluiclne, The hills are already
bare OF snow and the creeks were
never 30 low before In the hlstary OF
the Kl0ndike. Even last August the
water was not as low and that was
called the lowest ever known
Eldorado creek now has less than
Hluico-head. bonanza has barely
two Eluicc- heads. Hunker has less.
Dominion, AT the lower end. has some
eight or ten sluice-headn. .hut the
main creek IL not much utilized cN-
caslt by the big claim owners who
can afford to flume Il Tor mile or
two or pay the expense of costly
pumping machinery The most Of
the water FOR ordinary aiuiciuE on
Lower Dominica ir supposed Ia come
from the side pups. but they were
never as low before. Portland guich
last fall carried two sluioes heads.
Now u has about halt OF one. Others

COLONEL HERRING
DECLINES NOMINATION
The Well Known Tucson Lawyer
viii Not be Republican Candid
ate for Delegate.

1t has been reported for, some dasS
that efforts were being made by. BE-
publican leaders throughout the Terff-
tory to induce Colonel William Her.
ring to accept the Republican nomina-
ton for Delegate to Congress. Ex-
Governor Murphy spent Saturday in
Tucson, and was much in company of
Colonel Herring, and it became mat
ter of street rumor that the ex-
governor was urging the lawyer to
take the nomination for Delegate.
Colonel Herring admitted to repre-
sentative of The Citizen today that he
had been urged to accept the nomina-
ton. He would not discuss the visit
of Governor Murphy He said that
he had received several requests from
the Republican leaders all over the
Territory to accept the nomination.
II was forced to decline" said
ton to engage actively in politics. My
professional duties are onerous and ex-
acting, and | could not take the NOM
ination for Delegate to Congress with
out neglecting the business committed
to me by my clients. I will not accept
the nomination. From this decision
there is no appeal. I am thankful to
the friends who desired to honor me,
but acceptance of the nomination is
out of the question. You can state as
emphaticalIy as you desire that under
no consideration will accept the NOM
innation for Delegate to Congress"
The Tucson citizen., 1902-09-15

and they are, inclined to be restive
Several serious outbreaks have already
occurred, and it seems as though they
are bent upon measuring strength with
our soldiers. If that is what they. are
leading up to, there is going to be
some lively and bloody fighting be-
fore they are subdued.
THE Moros are Mohammedans. They
are fighters, and not afraid of death.
To die is to be assured glorifcation
and happiness in the next world, so
they have no dread of it. When they
go into battle, they show no mercy or
quarter, but go in to kill. Once there
is a general uprising against American
authority, our officers in the Philip
pines anticipate conflict which will
not end until the Moro warriors are
virtually exterminated. There is nc
good reason why they should rebel
but they seem to resent recognizing
our sovereignty and accepting innova-
tons in the way of government and
