Is Now a Live Proposition.

I will also state that | expect to assist
in the purchase Of these lots for the
purpose above named.
1t is not the intention OF the writer
to disparage any hotel now existing in
this city, but it can hardly be doubted
but that 1t will be conceded by AL public
spirited citizens that one OF the prin-
cipal needs of this city at the present
time is a modern hotel, with such con-
veniences as well meet the needs of
the people who visit our city.
Realizing, therefore, gentlemen, that
the lot above named, to be donated
for the purpose named, must be pur
chased by contributions of public
lrted citizens. you are respectfully
requested to give consideration to me
application and copy of resolution
watch has been prepared, and is here
with submitted, for the purpose of
affecting a sale of this lot to meet all
legal requirements, and it is hoped that
YOUR honorable committee will recon-
mend the adoption of L...s resolution
at once so as to enable us to proceed

MIR Dale corroborated his statement
and said that he would recommend the
petition as to form. but he thought
that me city would be compelled to

fulfilled.
Councilman Angus thought that the
representative men present an. back
ing the enterprise were security
enough for the city, Mr.. Russell
thought that the contract did not furn-
ish security for the city and that he
had always had an eye on the property
for the Fire Department. Mr.. Reid
thought that the council ought to be
given twentyfour hours to consider
the matter. S. NJ. Franklin suggested
a compromise but the petition could
not be drafted so that 1t could be act
ed on last night and the council re-
considered the motion referring the
matter to the City Attorney and pass
ed a new motion referring 1t to the
Building and Land Committee to re-
port at an adjourned meeting tonight,
when 1t Is expected tnat the petition
will be granted.

slides. the brain OF the late Frank
Collier, the once brilliant attorney, is
being subjected to the searching sight
OF miscroscope to determine the
cause of his apparent insanity. Doctor
Thor Rothstein of the University OF
Chicago is one of the men making
the examination.
The first discovery of importance
was made today. when the doctor an
nounced that he had found some pect;.-
liar degeneration of the brain cells Of
the recent eccentric character The
specific nature of the discoveries the

1t is said. however, that the theory
that Frank Golfers insanity was due
to a blow on the head. received dur

A Tucson Smelter !.
Is Now Proposed.

! Mr.. T. c. Paxton, president of TIE
Iona Verde Copper company, arrived
| from Los Angeles yesterday and left
| for the mines. where they have large
force of men pushing development;
work In an interview with repre-
sentative OF The Citizen, MIR. Paxton
intimated that he was prepared to
erect a smelter here provided some
encouragement was given by the pe0-
pie of Tucson.
In speaking of the proposition ne
expressed the greatest confidence in
Tucson and the many advantages a
large custom smeiter would bring to
the city Experienced labor would be
employed adding greatly to the popul-
alton and trade to the merchants. A
large amount of money would be ex-
pended at once giving employment
to many Of the unemployed now in the
city. Thousands of tons of ore now
being shipped to Ell Paso and other
points would be delivered at Tucson
and the money received for 1t would
be expended here. giving the mer-
chants and laborcrs advantages not
now enjoyed.
An expenditure of from fifty &c
seventy-fve thousand dollars in the
next four months will mean more to
the citizens of Tucson than they can
realize and if the gentlemen, who are
associated with Mr.. Paxton are given
any encouragement Tucson will have
plant that any city may feel proud
of
Why not have all the money received
from ore pald here instead OF giving
Lordsburg. El Paso and other towns
the benefit? Il am quite certain, "
says Mr.. Paxton. that If the people
of Tucson will take the subject in
hand they will soon have a plant here
that will pay out many thousand dol
lars per month all of which will be
expended at home and every famil;'
will receive some benefit.
Los Angeles has offered special in
ducements to have the plant located
in that city, but Mr. Paxton is of the
opinion that Tucson is the proper
place for large plant as it will save
long hauls on ore.
How about Iona Verde? Well mark
my word she is all right and will be
heard from in the near future We are
will pleased with the prospects and
are pushing work as rapidly as pos
Siblc."
