Valley railroad, and he was assigned
the title to the purchase agreement.
On November "a, 1897, Pidcock as
signed this agreement to Frances A.
Meliok, wife of J. E. Melick.
Negotiations were carried on with
he..Speedwell Lake Railroad company
and in 1898 they condemned sufficient
land for line across the property.
During 1898 Melick used part of the
land as picnic ground and excur-
sions were run to that point over the
Rookaway Valley railroad.
MELICKS' LETTER.
On June 80, 1899, Melick sent the
following letter to Cross:
Mr.. A. l.. Gross:
Dear Sir--I am just advised that
the people have been working with
all winter to get the railroad built
from the end of Rockaway through
Morristown to Little Falls on the
Erie, have just sold one r. r. that
was recently finished and expect to
close out another property this week
and that my project is the next they
will take up as it is the best railroad
project for distance that is on foot
now that they know of, So hope
soon to be in shape to close out the
rest of the 10 acre lot. / have adj
vertised sale for July and hope to
make sale of several lots. Mrs Evans
is ready to pay her 1885 for the
50x100 in hollow at corner of Burn
ham, rest she worked out with team
making srreets, also another lot,
35x90, about behind it for $175, so if
you can sell few more can raise up a
payment. / had about sold the site
on the back low lots along Cutters
for woollen mill when in making
search find Cutters have reserved all
the springs and water rights on the
lot with right to come pipe it out.
This knocked over the sale and lost a
chance to get about IS, 900 There, be-
sides, believe would have been chance
to sell lots to folks who would
have worked in mill, which was to
employ 200 hands and then theAcorner
out by Lake Road bridge had about
sold to steam Laundry. but that
spring is out too so went to Mr..
Pitney to get right to take water
from lake and would not sell or
give away a bit Of water and Cutters
ask $4,000 for the springs. so the
only thing I can see is to get r. r. to
help out with it and sell if they can
in lots now as Cutler and Burnham
are cutting new street through
and hold their lots high / will see
yon as soon as | know when r. r.
is ready to start.
Yours truly,
~. e, MELICK.

that sell at least 10 at 400 or over

During the six months ending Dec.
31st there were built in the United
States and officially numbered by the
bureau of navigation III rugged YES
sells of 154, ORB gross tons, as compared
with $50 rugged vessels of 179, 229 tons
for the corresponding six months of
1900
The principal decline, 1879 tons,
is on the Atlantic seaboard, and is at
tributable to work on several ocean
steamers which will be completed
during the coming six months.
Included in the six months figuring
are 38 vessels, each over 1000 tons,
and aggregating 1903, 832 tons. OF
these IA steel steamers aggregatine
SO, $40 tons were built on the great
lakes. On the seaboard 10 wooden
schooners of "a, 1854 tons were built,
five steel steamers for the coasting
trade, and one steel ferryboat aggre-
eating 30, 1854 tons. During December
alone so rugged vessels of 10, 032 tons
were completed.

preference has largely governed.
Grants birthday is a legal holiday
only in the District Of Columbia, made
so by congress, which has supreme
control of that territory. Congress
also has made Washington birthday
holiday in the District, and SO have
all the States except Mississippi,
where it is observed only by exercises
in the public schools. June 3, Jeffer-
son Davis birthday, is legal holt
day in Florida and Georgia. Febru-
airy 10, Linuoln's birthday, is legal
holiday in Connecticut, Illinois. Min
nesota, New Jersey, New York, North
Dakota, Pennsylvania and the State
of Washington. January 10, Lees
birthday, is legal holiday in Flori-
da, Georgia, North and South Caro-
lima and Virginia. Congress cannot
make McKinley's birthday a legal
holiday for the nation, and there
would seem to be certain incongru-
ity in making it such in the District
of Columbia while that of Lincoln is
not so honored.
Gov. Voorhees, in his farewell mes
sage, which embodied very COM
prehensive review of the affairs of the
State, favored the election of United
States Senators by the direct votes of
the people. We quote from it as fol-
lows:
None better know the embarrass-
ments and trials that beset the con-
scientious. legislator when he is called
upon to make choice than do you
who, in the discharge of duties i'm
posed upon you by the Constitution,
will soon name the successor to him,
now dead, who so long and SO faith
fully represented us in the senate of
the United States. Without doubt
many of you, regarding the true in
terests of the state, are prompted to
vote for another, rather than for him
whom you feel obliged to favor for
reasons which are personal or politi-
cal, or, it may be purely local in char
acter This fact, the truthfulness Of
which will be acknowledged by you
all, though possibly not openly CON
fessed, is, in itself, no light condem-
nation of the present system, and fur
nishes one of the many arguments
that might be adduced for the change
which is urged.

will do this, they will unquestionably

De eputy Sheriff Missing

Deputy sheriff Lee Mobbs of Clifton. is mysteriously missing and with him considerable money belonging to Ora ham county. The Copper Era says that Hobbs left week ago. Before leaving he told Bill True that he was going away, and asked him to say nothing about it for three days. which True agreed to, and kept his word. In his capacity as deputy sheriff Mir.
 Hobbs handled considerable amount of money, and on investigation by Sheriff Parks, it is estimated that he was behind in his settlements between $500 and s1O0. It is known that he left town with but little, if any. money.

El PaSO'S Population.

The second edition of Bucks direct ory of the city of EI Paso has just been issued. The publisher in speaking of the population of the city says;
 ''The question of the probable popu- lation of Fl Paso is always an interest ing one locally. Opinions differ as to just how many people may call Fl Paso their home, but the publisher is con- vinced that the population may be esti- mated within 8 small fraction by null tiplying the total number of 10, 700 by 4-a smaller multiple than is usually adopted for this purpose in other cities. This would give 2e,425 as the total, and all transients excluded. There may be those who hold these figures are too high, but in reply to such a criticism the publisher insists, after having visited every nook and corner of the city, that his judgment is entitled to the greater weight in the may be further stated that about 55 per cent of the city's population is Mexican, and that 60 per cent of the people live south of Overland street.
 "The showing of population is partic- ularly gratifying when it is remem- bered that there are about l, 100 less residents in the vicinity of the Fl Paso smelling works this year than there was last, owing to the closing down of the works on account of the fire last summer. The demand for labor On the E. P. & N. E. and the E. P. & s. W. railroads has likewise di- minished the city's population some what. Both causes combined have caused c reduction of perhaps 2,500 in the city's population--in other enumer- ation this year would have evidenced a2O0o or 33O00 inhabitants.

CITY DADS
TOWScr Must Take his Medicine --St0Ck Must Not Run at

The city dads met last night and disposed of considerable amount of business. The ordinance providing for the license was carefully gone over and was passed by the members of the co uncil, but did not receive the sigma ture of the Mayor.
 A dog tax was passed making it $l for dogs and 8 for the females.
 An ordinance was passed making it unlawful for live stock to run at large. A committee was appointed to supply sufii:ient scavenger wagons to keep the streets in order and to have them kept in a sanitary condition. This is certainly most needful just now.

Custom. Shelter will
 GO to Benson

The customs smelter will without a doubt go to Benson. Mir. Thomas C Paxton arrived from Los Angeles Sat urday morning and expressed himself in favor of that poict, inasmuch as the people of Benson have donated site and are preparing to offer him bonus and the matter has been given little attention in Tucson. Mir. Paxton is confident that the Phoenix X Eastern road will be built, and when that line is built there will be practically four railroads into Benson: and this will make it almost impossible for the rail- roads to discriminate in favor of the Ell Psso smelter by charging an enor- nous price for hauling coke.
 Mir. Paxton expressed himself as sur prised with the general apathy of the business men here, and the lack of en- couragement given to outside invest Ors. He said that Tucson was without doubt at present the best town in the Territory, but that she would soon lose that title if the business men did not show more public spirit.
 Mir. Paxton has gone out to the Loma Verde Copper mine, and on his return will go to Benson to consult with the citizens of that town with view to ac- cepting the site offered by them. He is of the opinion that he can secure moss<cs to supply a smslter at Ben- son than the mines around Tucson would furnish.
 A company of capitalists associated with Mir. Paxton are now negotiating for the erection of a stamp mill to handle the ores from several mines near Randsburg, California. MT. Pax ton means business here and proposes to erect a smelter in this part of the country as soon as possible, and from the present outlook it would seem as if Benson would be selected as the To- cation for this improvement.-Tuc Citizen.

At that time the civil suit against the gold will be heard.-Tucson Citizen.
 The corps of engineers of the Fl Paso and Southwestern will again be in the field in the vicinity of Tomb stone very shortly. The R. K. Co. will build via Tombstone from College Peak and by making the ''cut of" will save 45 miles of mileage. This will make material difference in through travel and would place Tombstone on the main line to the coast.-Prospecto
 Richard Golden's characterization of ''Old Jed Prouty," which will be seen at the opera house tonight Is one of the classics of the rural drama. Mir. Golden, unlike many of those who have sought distinction in the portrayal of the rustic, is thorough artist. Sum- med up briefly, Golden's 'Old Jed Prouty" is the best enactment of the ruralite that the American public has been treated to.
 Mr. and Mrs. William Zendt drove over from Naco yesterday and paid Bisbee a short call. These estimable people have lived in the Territory for years and have an extensive and broad acquaintance. Mir. Zendt was sheriff of Yavapai county, county supervisor, and held other offices of trust for years. Ms. Zendt was postmistress at Pine Greek for some time--she being the republican end of the family. MT. Zend: has d good business at Naco where he is running a meat market.
 The curious can have their every peculiarity entirely satisfied if they will simply go over into old Mexico sometime or any time for that matter, | between sunset and sunrise. There are things to be seen in that neck of the woods that it would be hard to discover anywhere. The Mexican Fandango that we read about is cer- tainly all that could be expected-the observer who wants more for his money is pretty hard to please. There is life of every description there and an ex- pression of character that is unique.
 G. W. McGee, who for many years [ has been chasing the hills and is one of the pioneers of the Southwest, is in the city looking after capital to de- velop mining property that he owns in Chiricahua district. Mr. McGee pre- 1 diets that the comparatively new local ity will be a great mineral producing section in the near future. He is the original locator of the celebrated Kel ly group of mines in Socorro county ! New Mexico, which were sold to the Billinss for big fortune. He state: that the miners of his district are very anxious to see the new road completed running out of Douglas. He is nt friend of the Southern Pacific for ht says they charge five cents a head fol watering burros. Mir. McGee is quite a picturesque character He wear his hair long and has contributed on' leg as an evidence of his patriotism
 He is a man of unusual information and has had broad experience.
