THE BOOKS ARE CLOSED
The Total Acreage Signed Is Esti-
 mated at 195. .O00.

The books of the Salt River Valley Water Users association were closed last night and in round numbers the acreage subscribed is 195,O00. It may run thousand acres or more in ex- cess of these figures when the contracts in process or more definitely now in the mails are received and added to the acreage subscribed here.
 Also in round numbers it .s estimated that the acreage signed Is divided as follows: G0,000 acres under the Arizona canal, e0.U00 acres under 5the other three north side canals and about 55, 900 acres south of the river.
 It is apparent to all who stop to think that absolutely definite figures cannot be given at this time. for the contracts coming in late must be inspected to see if they are all right. time must be given for the reception of those now in the mail and the plats must be checked off to determine accurately if estimates made are correct. It is safe to say, however that the acreage quoted. 195. VC0 is a safe minimum estimate.
 In a general way it may also be an- nounced that the Tempe canal holdings stayed out just as they had previously threa tened to do, though quite a num- Der of individual landowners signed up, several of them yesterday, but they aggregate small minority of the irri- gable land under the Tempe system. Roughly estimated, about 5000 acres have been signed under that canal from total area of somewhere between 25.- 900 and 30.000 acres. or about 20 per cent. Among those signing yesterday for south side lands were F. A. Hough of Tempe and A. G. Hubbard of Red. lands, Cal. who owns land under the Tempe canal. The total from the south side yesterday was about a thousand acres. the total both in Tempe and Phoenix being about 5000 acres foI yesterdays work.
 It will be several days of course be- fore the books and plats will be check ed up finally and ready for transmits sion to the secretary of the interior.

ing the Advertists. The government os of the United States of America has placed its official seal on the first day of the week as the Christians sabbath and as a legal holiday. Patriotic Amer lcan citizens will respect this action of the government. and show that they respect 1t by refraining from labor uT- on that day however many other days they may keep holy in conformity with the demands of their religion
 The truth is that this movement is based fundamentally upon humauitar- ian grounds. Our main object in ask ing for Sunday closing is that labor may have one day Of rest In the in- terest of humanity we ask for that without which men will degeneEa t- physically. mentally and morally Leaving religion out Of the question altogether. We would stIn ask for lt. If religion is prOfited in any way by It it is purely incidental. just as lt is purely incidental if any sect of religion is hurt by it. The charge oC sectarian motive Is as contemptible as it Is un- true. w. II BAGBY.

ORC BLANCO DISTRICT
Big Things Expected Of the Tres
 Amigos and Sorrel Top

There is to be expected marked ac- tivity in the Orc Blanco mining dis trict, Santa Cruz county, but tributary to Tucson, in view of recent transfers to eastern people. principally Pennsyi- vanians, says the Tucson Citizen. The first transfer was the Sorren Top group formerly owned by the Began brothers of Tucson, $T5,000 being stat ed as the amount paid. C. w. Cham piOn, oi Alhambra, California, recently closed a deal on his Tres Amigos claims, the price paid being reported at $150,000.
 J. P Owen of this city promoted the sales and only a week ago took several Sudbury. Pennsylvania. parties to the district to look over the property. The visiting party were to remain in the district some time. Attorney Purcell, personal friend of S. w. Champion, aided in making the deal respecting the Tres Amigos claims on which consid- erable work was prosecuted under the direction of G. Macmasters, who was interested with MT. Champion. The latter died on the coast two years ago. The Tres Amigos was formerly owned by Nat Crocomb. of Patagonia. and others who sold the gold property for some $3O,OO0 several years ago to Champion ct al.
 There are small plants on both the Tres Amigos and Sorrel Top groups considerable expense having been made in the introduction of these and in the development of the properties and in opening roads. It is understood that the new owners will begin active work in the fall and that Tucson will be headquarters of the company operating the two properties. Tucson will thus have another mining proposition In the two combined and will profit in all un dertakings pursued by the present purchasers.

WALNUT GROVE SECTION
Mining News From Along the His

J. A. Conlee has just returned to Prescott from a trip to Walnut Grove and the lower Hassayampa section of the county and has furnished the Jour
 nal Miner with the following: At Walnut Grove everyone is happy. There is plenty oi feed and fat cattle at present though rain was wanted. and there is very little water running in the Hassayampa.

B1sBEE SALOON ROBBED.

Wednesday morning, between the hours of l and ,. the Exchange saloon. at Bisbee, was burglarized, and cash to the amount of $50 was secured by the perpetrator of the deed, says the Review
 The Exchange saloon is situated on Main street, ard is owned by William Black. The saloon extends from it's front on Main street to the rear of the building. It was through the rear door that the thief or thieves entered
 Entrance was effected by breaking the glass in the rear Goor and sliding the bolt. after which the lock was broken. But little money was procured from the cash register. as only the nickels and dimes were left in that receptacle by the bartender when he went off shift. Most of the money was taken from a box which was left on a shelf under the bar.
 There is absolutely no clew to the guilty parties. as no one can be found who saw any one near the Exchange after the place had been closed for the night.

MYSTERY OF JOE RULE.
Found Lying Near Hospital With Foot
 CRUSHED.

An occurrence savoring of sensation came up yesterday when an unknown man was found at the door of the Cal umet & Arizona hospital. with crushed foot. The man seemed to be in a dazed condition. and could tell nothing of the cause of his condition. Those who brought him to the hospital left him without word of eNplana- ton, and their identity is yet unknown. Dr. Edmundson found it necessary to amputate one of the mans toes on the right foot.
 Last night he was brought into town and examined as to his sanity. At the examination it developed that the mans name was Joseph Rule, and sev eral who were present identified him as a miner who had worked in this camp, and who had been drinking heavily for several days. He seems to be laboring under the delusiOn that he was attacked on two different occa- sions while applying for work at one of the camps outside of the city. He states that on the first attack, a pick was driven through his foot. but this Is plainly due to his imagination. as no wound such as would have been made by a pick appears. Dr. Edmundson says that he discovered no such wound but that the toes of his right foot were badly crushed.-Bisbee Review.
