PRACTICALLY ENDED.
Protocols for Raising of Block
ade VIII Probably Be
Signed.
MINISTER BOWEN HAS BUSY DAY
Signing VIII Probably BE Done at
English Embassy - Preferential
Treatment to Be Referred to The
Hague.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The proba-
bility is that the protocols for the
raising Of the blockade which has
been maintained by England, Ger
many and Italy against Venezuela for
more than month will be signed by
Minister Bowen and the representa-.
tives OF the allied governments here
today. Every indication pointed ,
that end last night. Minister Bowen
had busy day yesterday comforting
with the English and Italian ambassa-
doris and the German ministers re.
garding various features of the protc-
coils, with the result that they are
practically in final shape. The sign
Ing of the protocols, it is expected,
will be done at the British embassy,
as it is regarded rather imprudent for
Sir Michael Herbert to venture out on
account Of illness. The protocols will
provide for the raising Of the block
ade at once, for a cash payment OF
s $500 to each of the three allied gov
ernments and for the payment to Ger
many of 100000 bolivars in five in
cash. The first installment of the
100000 bolivars, or $4,000, is 10
be paid On the 18th of March. The
protocols also provide for the refer
ence Of the question of preferential
treatment to The Hague, although 1t
lie understood this feature will be so
worded as to leave loophole in the
event 1t is desired to settle the ques-
ton without such reference.
For the payment of claims of the
allies Mr.. Bowen has arranged to be-
gin Immediately the setting aside of
80 per cent OF the receipts of the two
ports Of Porto Cabello and La Guaira,
as originally proposed. The first re-
ceipts set aside will be those for the
month of March. The funds will be
retained in the custody of Venezuela
and will be paid out according to ar
rangements that may be hereafter
made.

DICK HALL, of the Wickenburg News-Herald last week devoted a good portion of his paper to calling attention to the fact that the terri tory, yearly, loses thousands of dollars by a defective law which allows the territorial secretary to pocket the fees of his office instead of turning them into the treasury. The point is a good one and action should be taken up by the present legislature to that end. Most of the Phenix papers run page after page of articles of incorporation which are given out by the secre- tary- About a year ago Hall jumped all over the secretary and called attention to this same point It had its effect. Articles began to appear in the News-Herald and the subject was dropped. About a month ago the paper was getting out a two-page supplement covered with articles" and none of those issues contained anything about the secretary Recently the sup plement had to be done away with for lack of interesting reading" and now Hall has started his hue and cry again. Guess we'll start one and see if we can rake in a few 'dobes, ourselves.

The preliminary survey of the new road to pass down through the Bill Williams Fork country to con- meet with the Southern California railroad near Cajon, California, is now under way. The road passes down the valley of the Santa Maria and Bill Williams fork and crosses the Colorado river near Parker. It will open up one of the richest gold and copper mining regions in the territory. In that section are mines that isolation alone keeps from be- ing the greatest bonanza in the ter ritory. The Planet, Copper Dome, Copper Prince and the Empire Flat copper mines are among the great properties that will furnish un- limited tonnage to the new road as soon as it reaches that country. Work is to be pushed on the con- struction as fast as the survey party locates the line.-Mohave Miner.
