GOLD CANYON If. g II. co.
Orsanized in Tucson to Work old
 Mines in Catalina Mountains.

For some months a deal has been pending for the transfer of group of mines located in the Old Hat district in the Catalina. mountains and belong ing to MT. A w Tibbals of this city, says the Tucson Citizen.
 When MT. J. S. Acker, a mining man of Prescott, came down the first of this week it was for the purpose of visiting and reporting on tl's property to his clients and with arrangements perfect ed for organizing a company to taka over the property. should it prove satis- factory to his people.
 After a careful investigation. Mr. Acker satisfied himself and associates that this old property is one of great merit and immediately set about in cooperating company, with the result that all papers were executed yesterday and everything closed up so that Mir. Acker was able to leave for the north on this mornings train.
 These mines which were Cperate,l some years ago by MT C. James, were at that time known as the Ada mines and produced .. great deal of money and paid handsomely under Mir. James management. Some of the ore was worked with an arastra but mill was placed on the ground and many hun dreds Of tons of gold quartz milled ct ;t good profit A drift was run in on the ledge and the ore stopped out to the sur face for distance of about 500 feet.

the property as best she could and at great sacrifice.
 After this the mines remained idle for some years. with the exception of an- nual assessment work, the new owner not being able to operate them and not being successful in enlsting moneyed people to assist him.
 Finally. about four years ago, the owner entered into an agreement with a party who owned a small mill, where by the mill was to be placed on the property and the profits to be equally shared from all ores milled Disagree ment very shortly followed this ar engagement and only about fifty tons were milled which plated $17 per ton and the tailings assoyed S1O per ton, showing careless and incompetent handling. The owner also believes that the ore really plated very much more than returns showed and is to this day fully convinced that the ore mille.i would go $50 to S60 per ten in gold.
 Much of this ore banned heavily and free gold specimens were frequently found Again. the property was with out a mill and only assessment work has been kept up during the past four years.
 The new company which has just been organized under the name of the Gold Canyon Mining and Milling con- pany proposes to develop this property in an energetic and up-to-cate man. ner and expect to be able to quickly get the property in shape and before many months to have it on a dividend paying basis.
 The company is officered by well known and prominent local business men and the business of the company will be handled from this city. The officers and directors of the Gold Canyon Mi ming and Milling company are: Presi- dent, Charles H. Pogue, of the Tucson Hardware company: vice president, A. H.

SOLOnONVILLE FLOODED
niniture Cloudburst Near Town
 Causes Slight Damage.

Tuesday the vicinity of Solomonville rain storms ever recorded in the history of the town. and as result large DOT tion of the central part of town was un- der water during Tuesday evening to Q depth of from one to two feet, says the Bulletin.
 The greater volume of water fell in the Judia and San Jose canyons and on hills immediately surrounding. At six o'clock the advance stream of watsr arrived on Main street but only slight attention was paid until the street be- came a raging torrent. The first step toward safety was the cutting of the Montezun.a canal to allow the rush Of waters to reach the waste gate of the ditch and then pass to the river
 This precaution undoubtedly saved many of the houses on main street, iE- cluding the Solomon hotel which had narrow escape from the overflow. By dint of hard work the water was kept from entering the foundation of the Solomon Commercial company. in front of which the major portion of the water passed.
 The Tidwell house near the corner of Main street received the full force of the flood, and the rooms were filled to a depth of a foot. The foundations of this building were badly damaged and the wells are in danger of falling in a. any time.
 John Epley's place was slightly dam aged. An adobe fence in the rear fell at the first onslaught. This building would have been ruined had it not bee l for the substantial foundations which are of stone and placed four feet in the ground. The water surrounded the building.
 Abran Diaz also had a narrow es- cape. An embankment at the door kept the water from entering the store. The San Jose canal. near the Judia canyon, was badly damaged, all trace of the ditch at this point being wiped away. The ditch was damaged to extent of $l GOO. Luther Green reports a loss of S40O and several property owners in the PomeIoy addition had their homes more or less injured.
 During the storm the San Simon also came down and traffic between Stafford and the county seat suspended. A number of the lower valley folks were compelled to remain ill town until the water had subsided.

THEY ARE STILL AT THE FRONT.

A Washington statistician has discov cred that scventy-SeVen members of the fifty-eighth congress-twentys sena tors and fifty-one representativ es-were soldiers in the civil war. Forty-seven were in the union and thirty in the con federate army. Civil war soldiers form more than Is per cent. of the total meIu- bership of congress.
 The civil war ended more than thirty eight years ago. The present average age of these former soldiers is not Statsu But the boy of sixteen who went into the army for q few months only in 1865 is now fifty-four. The young man of twenty who enlisted in 1861 is now sixty-two. Probably the average age of the civil war soldiers in con- gress is at least s;Xty-fve.
 There is somewhat widely prevalent popular pression-increased by cer- tain tendencies in commerce and indus try-that this is an age at which a mar is about worn out. There is also an im- pression, sedulously fostered by prnfes- sional peace advocates, that active sol diering is an occupation that saps vii tality as do few others.

THE PEABODY MINE
Its Closing Down Will Likely Be Only
 Temporary.

MT. w. A. Feige. of the Feige Mer- cantile company, talked last night to the International-Americ about the Peabody mine, located at Johnson camp in the Dragoon mountains, only four
 miles from MT. Feige's Summit ranch. the headquarters of his stock industry .n that section.
 II think the reported shutdown of the Peabody mine will prove to be that the suspension of operation is only tenn porary,' said MT. Feige. II sold the mine to the present owners some five years ago and in so doing I think I made the mistake of my life. The price that 1 received for the property was S25. .000. It was owned at the time by my sister, Mrs. w. D. Hubbard. Since the sale was made to my knowledge copper ere has been taken out of the mine and shipped to Fl Paso that was worth a quarter of a million dollars and 1 have no doubt that it will con- tinue to yield rich ore for many years yet. Since the Federal Smeiting com pany began operations on the Peabody l have attended to most Of their busi- ness at Johnson and conducted .. mer- cantile establishment there in connec- tion with the mine. I have handled all the checks of the company and have almost daily evidence before my eyes of the mistake I made when I sold the Peabody

grant new ones. For each labor bill

Righteousness, reason, pleadlngs, ar

ers nothing. The law-making machln-
cry is all in the hands of those OPP

Each year emphasizes the vital,

the rights Of the people are swept

tons, each more preposterous than
the last, fall from the bench with reg

ing every cherished weapon OF de-

the people control of legislation,
through the right to propose laws by
petition and accept or reject them by
vote at the polls. This right, once
gained, will overthrow the wrongs OF
ages.
organized labor is waking to these
truths. In many states, California
Oregon. Missouri, Illinois. Texas, Colo
RADIO, Kansas and elsewhere, the trade
unions have been in the van in efforts
to attain direct legislation. They have
given time, money and labor, and have
added the weight of votes to the de-
mand for direct voice of the peo-
pie in making the laws to which obed-
fence must be yielded.
'Tn Massachusetts the unions have
taken the lead and have been the

legislation. Beginning in the central
labor union of Boston in January, 1900
