\ Plea to Teddy.
BY w. w. BOOTH

Printed by special request.
what we want out here is water
Carps n man in this here town,
TO run our mills and smelters,
And turn the wheels aroun'.
70 make our barren valleys
And foothills bleak and gray
A soft and verdant pasture.
Where the Ass" can feed and play
This would be very easy,
Says this poetic man,
just go up in the mountains,
And there construct dam:
Or go down in our valleys
A well there you could drill,
For Gods sake, do it, Teddy,
To keep this iingler still,
We have listened TO his ramblings,
And to us it seems quite plain,
Unless you give him water
He will surely go insane.
II YOU knew how he had labored,
To put that theme in verse,
You would not delay to tighten
That governmental purse.
How he laid awake and studied
For IDS to make rhyme,
And the license he has taken
With poetry is crime.
But it's water he has asked for,
So, Ted" give him his I'LL,
Take him down TO some big river
Tie a rock beneath his gill.
BE sure and get the knot fast;
It's your duty, so don't shirk,
And well laud you Us hero
For your grand and noble work.
II you'll only do this, Teddy,
We will ask for nothing more,
And wen give you our electoral vote

22O feet the Tonopah shaft
continues in brown porphyry, which
was encountered at lS5 feet after
dropping through the blue porphyry
struck at the 120-foot level. Several
very fine Photographic views have
been made of the new works, which
are a triumph of modern mechanical
science. Operations progress with
perfect precision and very commend
able rapidity.

A report from Frank Work, super
intendent of the Hannapah company 5
property says that the main ledge
for which he is driving will be en-
countered next week, when impor-
tant changes are expected. In the
meantime the flow of water has been
increased to $500 gallons a day, and

at an early day. While the presence
Of water in some localities is u mis-
fortune, the paucity of the normal
supply at Hannapah, where concen-
tration is TO be ultimately employed
that all the ores may be protitably
mined, is such as to render its pres
cnce extremely gratifying to the
management.

NO RECALL.
Senator DeLong On The Extra
Session Question.

Horace 4. DeLong returned yester-
day from Denver. where he had been
in attendance at the extra session of
the legi stature.
Senator DeLong was feeling good
that the Sc ,sion had been so short He
was referred to the report in the Rocky
Mountain News this morning that the
Legislature might be recalled, on ac-
count of the invalidity of one or more
items in the appropriation bill.
He said"I do not believe that there
will be another extra session. There
can be no question of the legality of
the manner of the passage of the ap
preparation bill. and do not believe
that Attorney General Miller would
raise that question.
II know that there was consider
able friction over that item appropri-
ating a certain sum for premiums for
the state fair at Pueblo. Senators
Hume Lewis and Prior. were fought
on this appropriation right from the
beginning by Senators Rush and
Barela and thew made protest of
record. before the bill was signed.
But do not think that this would be
sufficient to call an extra session. The
matter will be fought out in the
courts. but as to recalling the legis-
lature, 1 do not believe one word of
that. 1 do not think it will be neces
sary. even. if the courts do declare
that or any other item invalid
Mr.. DeLong certainly does not want
to be recalled and believes that what
they have done has been done accord
ing to the strictest letter of the law
and will stand.

The special meeting of the realty
men OF the city. called this morning
for the purpose of considering tbs
matter of lending their support to the
movement to celebrate Peach day con-
vened in the private office of Ramey
Bros. at 10 O'Clock. -
The ,ssion lasted for over two
hours and matters of considerable i'm
portance to the city was discussed pro
and con Upon the matter of their
support of Peach Day they took the
negative action, deciding that they / $
individuals or as body did not cai Q
to lend their support to the movement.
But in order to show that they did
not oppose the movement. they each
decided among themselves that if the
movement was to be continued, to
hold the celebration. they would all
lbscribe five dollars apiece and any
Jody desiring to do more could do so.
The very important matter of the
session, however. came in the nature
of resolution to form themselves into
a company for the purpose of securing
80 to 100 &C es of land near this city
and on the line of the ditch for irri-
CATION purposes, for large park and
fair grounds. On this matter the meet
ing became quite enthusiastic. Com
mittees were appointed to advance the
work and something will be doing in
