Arizona republican., 1903-06-12

he was in the mountains ninety miles
 away and was one of the members that { could not be notified in time to go. But | as soon as the news percolated through
 the hills to his camp he recognized it as
 call to duty and struck the trail for
 Phoenix, touching only the high spots along the road. When he got here he did not sit down and write a letter to Morenci to inquire if endorsements
 were needed, but attired in khaki uni form he went straight to the residence
 of Acting Governor Stoddard and perched on the steps. where the com
 mander in chief found him ready for
 duty last evening when he went home 10 dinner.
 FROM MORENCI-J. M. Glass, the Good Templar missionary, is due to ar Nrive in Phoenix from the south tomor-
 row morning. His itinerary included
 Clifton and Morenci, but he failed to
 get a hearing in those strike centers. The strikers were too much occupied
 with their efforts to save the country
 to attend a temperance lecture. and
 those who were not on strike were afraid to leave home. hence there was
 no one in mood to receive the gospel of total abstinence which Mir. Glass
 carried to them. He left Morenci on
 Monday morning and went to Douglas, where he put in four days. He will ad
 dress a public meeting in the Osborne schoolhouse tomorrow night for the newly organized lodge in that district. which will probably be the only lecture delivered in this valley as h Q has en- agreements to meet in the north next week.
 WATER LEVEL HIGHER.-In view of the pumping enterprises now being installed in the valley and the pro- posed electrical pumping plants to be built by the government later on. data relative to the underground supply in this valley is always interesting. It was demonstrated that even last year after the biggest drouth known in the country for a generation, there was ample water at depth. The city water works wells, however, got very low and the company was forced to deepen them. Superintendent Heap when ask ed yesterday regarding the water sup ply says that the company is now pumping 4.000,000 gallons per day from its wells and the supply is not affected in the slightest. The water level at the present time is eight feet higher than it was year ago. It is believed that the underground flow moves so slowly that it is only now beginning to feel the full effect of the rains of last winter. All these things bolster up the theory that the valley is situat- ed over what might almost be de- scribed as an underground lake. The water company yesterday connected up it's big duplex pump which was put in some months ago and it is working very satisfactorily
