REFUSED s1,OOO,OoO
Relief Gold Mining Company Is Not
 on the Market.

is not everybody that has chance to refuse a million dollars, but 1t was reliably reported yesterday that one in- stance of that sort occurred here last week. Rather, part of it occurred here and the rest of it in New York. The refusal. however was not because the money did not look good to those to whom it was offered, but because they thought there would be more money coming in later if they did not get too anxious.
 The deal in question was relative to the Relief gold mine, owned by com pany formed in New York by Professor Treadweu. and of which George Ham lin of this city is superintendent. Ger tain capitalists, working through an El Paso firm, offered to make big cash payment on the mine, to be followed by deferred payments that would az gregate $1 ,OO0, 900. The offer was first made to MT Hamlin, who referred them to the company in New HorK' The company announced that it had no desire to sell and so informed MT. Hamlin. He then stated that he had the same sentiments. A million dol lars is a nice bunch of money, but all concerned are certain that by holding on a little they may not get rich so quick. but that when they do get rich they will be richer. They have the mine about ready for reduction works and expect shortly to be getting reSu- lar payments from the ground.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION
The Advantage of Good Representa-
 tion From Arizona.

Governor Brodie yesterday received Ia copy of the official call for the con- vention of the tenth national irrigation congress to be held at Colorado Springs from October 6 to October g. This will be the most important meeting of the congress ever held from the fact that it will celebrate the victory it has se- cured in the passage of the national irrigation act.
 Concerning this the call says:
 We must consider the new responsi- bility placed upon the west by the national irrigation act, under the pro- visions of which the proceeds from pub lie lands will hereafter be devoted to the reclamation of the arid lands in the sixteen states and territories affected, viz: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
 "The importance of this great act of constructive egisiation-securedb by the united action of the friends of national irrigation regardless of politics-is not yet fully appreciated, even in the states most directly concerned. An en- tire day of the congress will be devoted to the national irrigation act-its oper- ation and possibilities, and leading irri- gation experts and business men of the country will be in attendance and take part in the discussions"
 Governor Brodie is authorized to ap- point twenty delegates to the congress He wants to appoint men who will at tend and who are familiar with the subject of irrigation. He desires thai all the irrigated districts may be rep resented, and he has begun correspon- dence with gentlemen in every part o1 the territory interested in this matter He believes that the better showing the | territory can make at this meeting ol | the congress the more surely can Arl- zona avail itself of the operation of th' irrigation act The territory is repre- sented in the list of vice presidents bN w. J. Murphy. B. A. Fowler an(
 Dwight B. Heard are members of thu
 executive committee, though the latte is credited to Massachusetts.
 | Beside the delegates named by tn governor others may be appointed al follows: By the governor of each stat
 and territory, 20 delegates; the mayo of each city of less than 25,OOO popula
 tion. ?; the mayor of each city of nor than 25,OOO population, 4; each board
 county commissioners, ?; each chambe
 of commerce, commercial club or req lestate exchange, 2; each organized irri
 gation, agricultural and live stock as

sion. and not a rich mine owner, but the fact that he comes from the frozen north arouses the interest of those he meets. and the further fact that he wears a handsome and valuable gold nugget chain. together with a still more handsome and valuable nugget for a watch charm, lays him open to the auguring of newspaper reporters.
 MT. Schraplan has lived along the Alaskan coast for several years. and has been employed in, many or the large enterprises conducted there, but last spring he fell a victim to the all turing advertisements of the transpor- taticn companies and went to DaWson city. Asked to say something regard ing that camp he replied that Dawson is SO dead a man could not get him. self held up there without he had a friend to do it. The streets are full of people. and there is little work for them. The transportation companies advertised the building of some new railroad lines this summer from Daw- son to the surrounding camps, but as vet the work has not commenced, and the hundreds that flocked in thinking everything would boom, are getting out
 
 is no easy thing. Cut rates were made in the spring to get the people in there. but they are allowed to get out the best way they can.
 The older creeks and gold camps, he says. are rapidly being worked out, and during the last year there have been no new discoveries of importance. There are some quartz lodges, but as ta work though capital may eventually master the difficulties and expense ne> cessary in developing them. He was there four months and only secured work for a month and a half, and then had to sue to collect his wages.
 Asked regarding prices, he said ev- erything is cheap there now except board and beer Wages are $4 per day, which is too low in comparison with board and other expenses and the short season one can work. He said he had little to do with the saloons there, for there were tco many other things for which money is needed. A glass of beer costs a quarter. and it is a little bit of a glass at that, and the barkeeper generally tries to tie a string to 1t then so the customer won't drink it all. He says the saloons and gambling houses are suffering with the rest. and many are closing up, a large part of the sporting fraternity leaving the camp
 He has nothing to say of what that section may be eventually when capital gets to work properly, but for the present he says Dawson is one of the 1 best places he knows of for a working man to keep away from. He expects | to leave shortly for Tombstone oI some other Arizona camp where large operations are in progress.

 The executive committee urges upon the west harmony if the greatest bene- fits from the national irrigation act are to be secured.

WHY WILSON WON

Everybody who is acquainted with Colonel Wilson knows him to be one of the brightest men in Arizona, and at times his arguments convince the most skeptical. He is simply irresistible and his adversaries can no more stand up against him than a field of grain can a moving machine. He prepares him. self for the fray and generally comes eff the victor. The key to his success is most aptly given by Pope, who in a few lines says:
 Fresh roasted coffee makes the poli-
 tician wise,
 And see through all things with half
 shut eyes,
 Colonel Wilson drinks Ankola Mocha Java, the finest coffee in the world. Ankola brightens the intellect.
 Ankola clears and stimulates the brain.
 Ankola is invigorating and nourish- ing.
 If the republican party is onto its job, it will bind all it's nominees to drink AnkoIa till after election. Candidates who victory do pursue, Should drink Ankola P. D. Q.
 The only fresh roasted coffee in Ari- Zona is turned out by the new ga' roaster at McKee's cash store. "Th' store that's always busy"

A TORNADO'S WORK.
Many Houses Wrecked at Ca mp Point
ana quincy, In.-Windstormi in
Missouri

Quincy, ILL.,, Oct. 14.--The storm
which ragged here Sunday night also
visited sections of Missouri and ILL
nois. Reports indicate the complete or
partial demolition of more than 100
houses. Many people were hurt, but
strange to say there were no instant
fatalities. At Camp Point the south
eastcorner of the town was practically
destroyed and 20 or more houses are in
ruins. The -four mills were unroofed
and the electric light plant of the viii
lage is in ruins.
The southern part of Quincy was
struck by the storm and Greenmount
cemetery was stripped of every tree
Many of the monuments were blown
over. At least 50 houses and barns in
the southern part of the city were de-
stroyed. The financial loss will reach
100000.

A TARIFF COMMISSION.
Cabinet Officer Says President Roose-
welt Will Favor Plan in
His Coming Messace.

Milwaukee, Oct. 15.-That President
Roosevelt will recommend in his forth
coming message to congress the crea-
ton OF a tariff commission is the belief
OF Postmaster General Payne, as ex-
pressed here Tuesday. Mr. Payne said
further:
The president will probably favor
reduction of import duties upon prod
ucts which no longer need protection.
He is also inclined to favor the crea-
ton of permanent tariff commission,
which can at all times receive testi-
mony subject to expert consideration
on the varying interests of production
and trade, submitting it's reports and
recommendation to congress, as
other departments of the national
government. This will insure the
thorough and careful compilation of
all information accessible, and will
save to congressional committees a
vast amount of labor.
This was the policy outlined by the
president in his speech at Logansport,
Ind, which he had prepared for deliv-
cry at Milwaukee, and which, it is safe
to predict, will be embodied in his an
nual message to congress. He is
strongly in earnest in these views. as

procity as a feature of our CONNER
cial intercourse with foreign nations.

MEXICO MUST PAY.
Hague Tribunal Decides Plus Fund
Case in Favor of the United
States.

The Hague, Oct. 15.-The arbitra-
ton court in the Plus Fund case has
condemned Mexico to pay the United
States $1,42o,6s2. in Mexican cur
rency.
Washington, Oct. 15.-Oficial news
of the result of the arbitra ton in the
Plus fund case was received here to-
day from Mr.. Ralston, the agent for
the United States before the Hague
tribunal. He simply stated that the
United States contention has been &C.
cepted as to res adjudicata, and the
full amount of the claim allowed, to be
paid in Mexican silver. The first state
ment is understood to mean that the
tribunal took the view that the deci-
sion of the first court, which awarded
the claim of the church for accrued
interest, did not prevent the accumu-
lation of interest since that award.

THE LATEST FOREIGN DISPATCHES
FROM WASHINGTON,


The president and Mrs. Roosevelt
are not to return to Oyster Bay this
fall.
Michael Herbert, the new British am
bassador, presented his credentials to
President Roosevelt.
j. Pierpont Morgan visited President
Roosevelt, and on behalf of the coal
operators agreed to submit the differ
ences with the anthracite miners to
arbitration by commission to be
named by the president. AS this pro-
posal was originally made by John
Mitchell and is agreeable to the strik-
ers, an end of the struggle is in sight.
Slams crown prince visited the cap
itol and congressional library in Wash
lngton and then took a trip to Annap-
oils naval academy.
j. w. Ross, a well-known newspaper
man, has been appointed commission
er of the District of Columbia.
The crown prince of Siam visited
Mount Vernon and placed handsome
wreaths on the tomb of Washington.
The president believes John Mitchell
will agree to arbitration. He is ex-
pected in Washington for a confer
ence at the white house.
Retirement of Charles Francis as

strike itself. They will have to get
ready their long abandoned mines,
some of which are flooded and others
nearly SO. They will have to collect
their railway equipment, much of
which is scattered broadcast through
the country in the service of the btu
minous coal operators. Under no cir
cumstances will it be possible for them
to achieve a full output of anthracite
coal in less than three weeks. They
may be able to produce from 40 to so
per cent. of the usual output before
the end of the week. Their gain from
that time until their organization is
again perfected, will be very slow. The
operators first efforts will be bent in
the direction of furnishing the west
with coal. The season of navigation on
the great lakes is drawing to a close.
In order to utilize that route they will
have to get coal into Buffalo, Cleveland,
Erie and other ports without loss of
time. They will undoubtedly make an
effort to relieve, in measure at least,
the growing distress in New York and
New England.
