LANDS A B|G
 GOLD PROPERTY
Prescott Firm Make an
 Important Deal.
Professors TibbalS and Associates Capture a Very Valuable Ari-
 zOna Property.

Under the above caption We clip ex- tracts from recent copy of the Salt Lake Herald:
 Deeds to group of gold bearing claims, covering more than sixty acres and located in the Santa Catalina mountains, southeastern Arizona, have just been deposited with Profes- sor Wm. H. Tibbals, and within a short time he, together with New York and Arizona associates, will or ganlze strong company to operate the property.
 The proposition is one which the professor and his associates have been working hard to land for several months past. and he is not little elated at his success, particularly as he has had to buck up against one or two very formidable combinations that were after the same ground.
 The property is known as the Gold Canyon group, and it covers a contact ledge fully 150 feet thick between walls. The pay streaks run from six inches to four feet thick. Professor Blake, who once examined the prop erty, described minutely conditions as he found them and in closing his description of the ledge said:
 ''I think you will find it to be pay ore clear across between the walls with depth.'
 The mine has been worked in a crude fashion for several years and considerable rich ore has been taken from shallow depths. Mill tests have been made on several lots recently with most gratifying results. One lot of ten tons showed an average of S2l.07 in gold; one of eight tons gave sl9. 80, and another lot of thirty tons gave returns of s14 70.
 With that knowledge of a showing and the further knowledge that adja- cant properties on the same ledge and mineral zone have proven up big, he professor feels that he is now on the high road to fortune. The Southern Belle, adjoining, with ten stamp mill, has cleaned up hundreds of thousands of dollars The Nam moth, on the same zone, has a record of millions of dollars, while the Bos- ton, Condon and others have each made records of more than passing moment.
 The above refers to the property re- gently reported on by J. $. Acker of this city and he has just returned from Tucson where he closed up the sale and also organized the Gold Can yon Mining and Milling company which has taken over the property of very promising mines and will at once proceed to the active development of these very promising mines. MT. Acker brought up box of very attractive ore specimens from the Gold Canyon property.

morning to begin the work of putting the pipe line in first class shape. There has been a portion of this line about eight miles in length that has been constant source of trouble and expense to the city ever since the line was put in, simply because the job was botched up and only half done, the joints never having been put to- gether right. It has kept two men and a team on the line all the time and often extra help to keep the line so water could be pumped through it at all, and then it was necessary to have an auxiliary pumping plant so that the pressure might not be too heavy on the line. The extra pumping sta tion cost the city between s200 and $500 per month while this extra help and team that had to be kept at work all the time cost between s300 and s400 per month more, so the tax payers were paying about $500 month or s720O year penalty for not having a good job done when the line was put in.
 When Mir. Glass took hold of the system only about two weeks ago he determined to put the water system on a paying basis, and he has been doing some excellent work. He informed the Journal Miner this morning that the proposed work of rejoicing and putting the eight miles of line in first class shape so that this expense might be done away with, would cost the city about 5000 but the saving alone wouli pay for the work in less than six months. This, the Journal Miner believes, is genuine economy, and it begins to look like there was some business ability at the helm of the city government. 1t now developes that it was not so much the leaks in the city reservoir as it was leaks in the city treasury, that has put the city into such hole.
 The work of making the above re- pairs will take some time as it will have to be done by piece meals so as not to interfere with the supply of water for the city. The reservoir will have to be filled full, the plant shut down for four or five days at a time and as much of the work done as pos sible until the supply of water begins to run short, this section of pipe GOV cred up, another uncovered and when everything is ready pull out another section of pipe and fix it, and so on till the job is completed.

SITUATION IN FAR EAST.

The situation in Macedonia is reaching its critical stage and it will be surprising if cables within the next few days do not report declaration of war by Bulgaria against Turkey.
 The relations between these coun- tries are strained to the point of breaking. Up to the present time, Bulgaria has hoped for the interven- tion of the European powers, fully realizing the fact that she alone would be unable to cope with Turkey. The lesson taught by the Turko-Grecian war is still fresh in the minds of Bull garians, otherwise the conservative party headed by Prince Ferdinand would not have been so determined to keep the war party in check. That the trouble is political, to large eX- tent, must not be lost sight of, and previous to the beginning of hostili- ties by the revolutionary party, no overt act on the part of the Turks against Christians was committed. Turkey is well aware that the eyes of Europe carefully watch her treatment of Christians and any attempt at per secution would be instantly checked.
 The revolutionary committee, head ed by Boris Sarafoff, counted fully upon the aid of the entire Bulgarian forces and the intervention of the European powers, for the accomplish ment of Macedonian independence. This once effected would soon be fol- lowed by the union of Bulgaria and Macedonia. To a large extent this hope explains Bulgaria's intense feel ing.
 The methods of the revolutionary reproach. A few days ago dispatches from New York reported an interview with recently arrived Macedonian refugee, who was compelled under penalty of death to contribute $500 to the revolutionary cause. Two of his fellow citizens, cobbler and baker, who were either unwilling or unable to pay the sum assessed were murder ed in cold blood.
 It is also currently reported that Miss Stone's abductors were hirelings of the revolutionary committee and that the large sum paid for her release helped swell the funds of the commit tee. But recently the contributors to this fund petitioned the state de- partment to demand of Turkey the restitution of this sum, but the ab- duction was clearly shown to have been made on Bulgarian territory. It would have been rather trying to Turkey in the event of being con- pelled to pay this money, now to real ize that she was furnishing the funds to assist in her own downfall.
 However, there is no excuse for the horrible atrocities committed by the Bashi Bazouks and the Albanian troops of the Sultan. The acceptance of the proposition that the European powers send emissaries with each corps of Turkish troops to prevent unneces- sary cruelties, should he forced on the sublime porte.

That Sham Bull Fight.

The following account is given by
 the Republican of the "sham bull fight" in Phenix Tuesday:
 ''The bull fight was a real novelty
 and was very exciting. An arena had
 been built of railroad ties in iron,
 of the grand stand and within it, in the presence of thousands of people, two bulls and several men failed ut ! terly in their efforts to lose their lives. It was advertised to be a sham fight and it was, so far as the judging it by the rules of the modern prize fight, which are to scare the other fellow and get away again till one or the other is tired out and gives up the contest, it was a daisy. The matadors had to do some great headwork to make it sham fight on the part of the bulls, one of which at least, was ready for finish contest.
 ''The show was mainly interesting to the student of psychology in that it demonstrated how hard work it is to tune up a bull for a sham fight. The trainers are apt to get him either too strenuous or not strenuous enough. The first bull introduced yesterday was a bit too gentle and his charges on the banderas were only half hearted, the fighters being able to jump to safety without any trou- ble. But the second bull was straight from Bullville and the moment he entered the ring it was apparent there was to be something doing. His first charge was on a barricade that had been erected for the fighters to jump behind in an emergency. The emer- gency came but they were not long in discovering that the barricade was the very place they did not want to be for it lasted quick and they got from behind it none too soon.
 Subsequent charges were very ex- citing and the side stepping of the banner bearers was done from very proper motives. There was no sham demonstration on the part of the bull. Finally old taurus got straight away run at them and put them clear out of the business. He intimated that the rest of the show must be the real thing or the matadors would have to get out of the ring. And they got. They broke for the nearest place and scaled 1t like lizards. The bull fol lowed and all but jmped over the fence himself. He put his forefeet up and beloved but it was too high for him.
 "When he entered the ring he had guards on his horns which are like two steel tempered spears but by the end of the first act he lost them. There was no second act for the fight | CTS who declined to enter the ring again till the horns had been redeco- rated.
 "On Thursday afternoon there will | be another programme of a similar na- ture with some other features or the sake of variety and the cowboys will | again make an effort to break rec ,r1c

could be wiped out and no one would feel the burden, so program of music, and an illustrated patriotic lecture was prepared.
 The Prescott orchestra, which has on SO many other occasions responded to invitations to assist good causes in our city, came forward very graciously and rendered several excellent selec- tions which were we'll received by the audience.
 A quartette, composed of Mrs. J. c. Martin, Miss Lee, and Messrs. Hazel tine and Pool, rendered a splendid selection entitled ''The Sea Hath It's Pearls," which called forth hearty applause.
 Miss Marguerite Iddings Gale gave a solo which simply captivated the audience and she responded to an en- core which only intensified the de- light of the audience and they would not cease calling until she had re- sponded second time with selection from grand opera. Miss Gale certain ly is one of the sweetest singers that has ever appeared before a Prescott audience. She has one of those de- | lightful voices with great range of tone, and she has it absolutely under control and there is never a false note. Combined with this she has a charming manner of expression which carries her audience by storm. Some of the members of the colored quartette had been called out of the city and MT. Lindell was compelled to sing the old fsvorite "My Old Ken lucky Home" alone, which he did as number of views were shown by the powerful electric stereopticon on the canvas. He asked the audience to join with him in the chorus of this old favorite which was done heartily.
 Walter Hill then delivered a pa triotic lecture touching on some of the principal events in the history of this country. The lecture was illus. trated by a number of very fine views which brought forth hearty applause on several occasions.
 Patriotic songs were also sung by the audience as the words were thrown on the canvas by the stereopticon making all told a very interesting evenings entertainment.
 Great credit is also due to Mrs. W. A. Cline, the accompsnist of the even- ing, to whose efforts the musical part of the program owed much of its suc- cess

A subcommittee of the senate com mittee on Indian affairs is to visit the Indian Territory soon, ostensibly tC inquire into the stories of steals iI that quarter, and probably also tc find out how soon that territory could be united with Oklahoma and be ad. mitted as a state. Oklahoma has long been ready for admission, but as 8 majority of its inhabitants want the Indian Territory to be joined with it, as a majority of the Indian Terri tory's people also want union, and as a majority of the people of the United States favor the same idea, Oklahoma has been kept waiting little longer than is desirable. When she comes in, however, with the Indian Territory annexed to her, she will be symmetri- cal in geographical contour and be imposing in population. She will have five or six votes in the house of representatives, be factor of some importance in the electoral college and have a prestige which will win for her much new capital and tens of thousands of additional settlers.
