The politician of Yavapai is daily beseeching the miner union vote.
 Governor Gage of California has sued the Los Angeles Times for SlOO,OOO for libel.
 The Christian scientists of the nation are together in convention at Boston. Their reunion is a very en- thusiastic one.
 One of the reasons advanced against the admission of Arizona as a state is that there are thirteen coun- ties in the tertiary.
 The aattering expressions of the Arizona papers these days over Colonel Brodie, and what he is going to do when he assumes the governor ship, are amusing. Inside of three months they will be flanking him with their customary balldozing tao ties, and inside of a year they will endeavor to have him removed. No matter how honest or capable a gov ernOr may be in Arizona, he sooner or later has to submit to the inevitable. We had one governor, in Irwin, who, in six months only, became so dis gusted and disheartened tina. in or der to be relieved of the political bri- gands that thrive among the two parties of the Gila and Salt sections, that he resigned, packed up and left the territory for good. He was a good man and an influential politi- cfHn. We trust that Governor Brodie will hold the bronchos in check, but he has a difficult duty to do so.
 Representative Newlands of Ne vada, who is practically the father of the irrigation bill, which was signed by the president, and who has for so many years championed this subject in congress, gave a brief outline of the effect of the bill. in which he said: Under its provisions at least Sl50,0O0,0O0 of the proceeds of the sales of public lands will be available in the next thirty years for irrigation work without further appropriation. | The receipt from public lands for the last fiscal year, as well as the present, md aggregating s6,OOO,OOO, are i'm available, and from this lime on the amount of S3,000,0O0 per innum will be available, which sum will be instantly increased as the ands are redeemed and sales are made. The bill is carefully guarded. The secretary of the interior cannot | ct contracts unless the money is in he fund. Land monopoly is impos- ,ible."

BIRDS OF A FEATHER
 FLOCK TOGETHER g
Bound By TIes of Friendship and Lcy- aIty Two Men Clasp Hands for
 the First Time.

w. J. Thornby of Deadwocd, noted mining expert, arrived in Pres cott Sunday last to visit this wonder ful mining country of ours. He at once called on our fellow townsman Robert E. Morrison, whom he had known all his life but had never met. While not relatives, the following statement will show how closely allied these two gentlemen are.
 Their fathers were Irishmen born and when under twenty years of age they came to America, and as soldiers i'll the United States army served during the Mexican war. Returning to New York they learned of the re- bellion of lS4S, which was in pro- gress in Ireland, and like gallant young patriots, they sailed for the land of their birth to assist in freeing Ireland and driving out the British. Evidently the English spies were in waiting, and Thornby and Morrison and another companion were cap tured as soon as they touched foot on Irish soil, incarcerated in Carlow iail, where they remained for six months with no charge preferred and habeas corpus suspended. The rebellion ended, the young Irishmen were re- leased on St. Patrick's day. Imme- diately they returned to America and in a year or two Morrison and Thorn by found themselves in Troy, N. Y.. where they married. Morrison moved to Chicago in the early fifties, where our fellow citizen Robert E. Morrison and four brothers and two sisters were born.
 Thornby moved to Syracuse. x. Y., and there w. J. Thornby, the mining expert, was brought into the world. | Both were born in 1856, and when | they met here last Sunday the feel ng of joy was mutual.
 Mr. Thornby is now in Cherry Creek examining properties for Chi ago people. This is his first visit to northern Arizona and he came es- oeciall to see Mir. Morrison, the son 'f his fathers life companion.

CONGRESS IS TOO SLOW.
President Ripley Decides to Build the Grand Canyon Hotel at Once.

President E. P. Ripley has decided not to await congressional action, and the proposed new hotel to be constructed by the Santa Fe railway company at the Grand canyon, will be rushed to an early completion. The site for the new house will be 300 feet in the rear of the present hotel.
 It had been intended to have the government donate the site for the hotel, but the progress of the pro- posed legislation was too slow, and the structure will be built on private property.
 Partial plans for the hotel have been completed and work on the foundation will begin as soon as the detailed plans are ready. It is aimed to have the house opeE hy January l, 1903.

OUR SISTER CITY
 WILL COOPERATE
JEROME PEOPLE HAVE A BIG MASS MEETING LAST NIGHT
 AND DECIDE TO
Compete in the Fireman's Tourna- ment or the Fifth of July $525 of Fireman
 Money Up.

A mass meeting took place last night at Jerome which was attended by several hundred people and was called at the instance of Mayor Wal ter c. Miller. It was for the purpose of finally deciding whether or not the Jerome Fire department would come to Prescott to enter the fireman's contests. The sentiment of the meet ing was paramount. They voted to unit in favor of accepting the offer rendered by Prescott to send com peting team in the freman's tourna- ment. This action of the Jerome people is certainly praiseworthy. and advices fromthere today state that in addition to the running team of the department who will participate in all events, there will be large num- Der of enthusiastic packers in attend ance.
 Chief Johns of the Prescott depart ment has been in consultation with Chief Meyers of the Jerome depart ment today, and all matters incl dental to perfecting arrangements for this interesting event will be satis- factorily adjusted.
 The prizes offered for the fireman's tournament on the 5th are:
 S250 for the wet test. Sl00 for the second best.
 S75 Tor the straightawayi
 S100 for the foot races. The above aggregates total of S525. and will test the metal of the two teams. This sum has been set aside bv the executive committee of the celebration. It ia tery probable that the Phenix department will en- ter. and they have been advised of the inducements offered. It is the intention of the Prescott department to keep open to the last moment en- trys for the contest.
 The Jerome department is under the jurisdiction of Frank Meyers, an enthusiastic fireman. and chief of the Jerome department, and he gives gentle tip" to his former associates in Prescott that the Copper City boys are enthusiastic and somewhat conf dent when it comes to running on smooth ground, and are daily prac- ticing in pulling an ice wagon up hill, as there is nothing else in that locality to test their speed or endur- ance.
 We predict a lively contest in this line.

TO HARNESS THE COLORADO.

It seems that wherever there is a running stream of water these days, gigantic enterprises are being formed to transmit the electrical power to any point desired, from five to five hundred miles distant. A few years ago who is there that would have be- lieved the waters of Fossil coeek could have been utilized for the pur- poses of generating electrical power and its transmission to Prescott; or on the other hand, why is it not jus { as feasible to have at a dozen points along the Verde, Oak. Beaver and other living streams, electrical power stations innumerablei The beauty of this new system is that not an ounce of water is lost, and no controversy can arise between the agricultural or the mechanical elements as to ap- propriation and use of the waters or the priority of the right guaranteed
 In speaking of the project to util- ize the Colorado river waters and transmit the power generated there by to Los Angeles, the Herald has he following to say:
 Is the time drawing near when un- limited electrical power and possibly water supply as well, will reach Los Angeles from the Colorado river? The points are too far apart, is the response at first thought. But in these latter days one of the most won drous things accomplished by sci ence aud its aids is the bringing of distant points nearer to one another. For instance, five years ago the qres- ton was under discussion here in Los Angeles whether it was practic able to transmit electric power to this city from point seventy-five miles eastward in Santa Ana canyon. It was new proposition, and even so high an authority as Thomas A. Edi- son was in doubt about the matter. But for four years power has been transmitted over the line indicated without any difficulty. Now work is in progress on an enterprise to bring g electric power from Kern river to this city, distance of no miles. Greater distances than that, in fact. have been successfully spanned else where. The distance from Los An geles to the Colorado river at Mojave City, where the river begins to form the boundary line of California, is about two hundred miles. How far up the river it might be necessary to go for power purposes is question. The question of cost is another mat ter. That undoubtedly wifi be solved, however, when it is shown to be prac- tical to supply Los Angeles with it. limitable electric power, for that would insure the making of this city one of the greatest manufacturing centers in the United States,
