MT. Cross plan is to secure a tract of about 300 acres and improve II so that it will furnish a site for the cree ton of winter homes for eastern capi- talists, and others who desire to spend the winter months here. He has car ried out such enterprises in the east and he knows that the same plan has been followed to a certain extent in California, but Phoenix is a new field. There is nothing here of the kind, and as Phoenix is rapidly coming to be recognized as one of the leading health and winter resorts in the country, he realizes that there Is an opportunity here for such an improvement.
 He wants a tract of land, conven- tent to the city, with a good water supply and good drainage. He esti- mates the cost of the improvements necessary before the erection of even one house at S2O0.O00. which sum, placed upon a 3G0 acre tract of land would certainly transform it into a most beautiful park.

PHILLIPS, THE SUICIDE
The Inquest Showed That He Was
 Mentally Unbalanced.

An inquest concerning the death of John Phillips, who committed suicide at Winters wells, was neld yes .arday morning by Acting CorOnor Bennett. The members of the jury were N C. Webster, Dr. L. M. Swikerath, P. B. Champagne, J. T. Boyd, s. R. IIugaes and R. B. Dawson. There were no puzzling circumstances for the jury to take into consideration. There was the almost headle~s corpse; there was the gun which had been founi between Phillips feet and there was the stick with which he had set the trigger off, The only witnesses were Janlas r. Pawley, the man who found the body, w. A. Evans, who sent the word of the tragedy to Phoenix and Deputy Sheriff Oscar Roberts.
 Perhaps the most important witness was MT. Evans. He said that about a week ago a couple of men who had stopped at the station came on to the Buckeye canal where he is employed and told him of the curious actions Of Phillips. They said that he was clearly out Of his head. He told them that he had been suffering for a long time with rheumatism and that he mad bought q galvanic battery thinking that it would give him relief He be- lleVed that it was robbing him of his brain. He seemed to feel a personal spite against the instrument and want ed to talk about it all the time. These men told MT. Evans that Phillips ought to be looked after. A day of two after that couple of Mexicans. who had stopped at the wells, told MT. Evans the same kind of story; only by that time Phillips seemed to have grown worse and the Mexicans were afraid to stop at the wells any longer. From the fact that there had been found in the pockets of Phillips a sum of money $2O.2O, there was not the slightest prob- ability that murder had been com mitted. Accordingly verdict was ren- dered finding that he had shot him. self in fit of mental alteration.
 There was never a more nearly complete job of suicide by shooting Almost all of the head was gone. There remained in front only the lower jaw ana m the rear the lower part of the skull. There was the suggestion of ghastly bowl set on top of the neck. Ihose who were at the house said that small pieces of the skull had been thrown everywhere about the room and that the sides of the room and the roof were spattered with blood and brains.
 The weapon used by Phillips was a combination rifle and shot gun. He mad used the shotgun barrel. Phillips left a little property here, most of it Tn the shape of wages. Application was made yesterday by his employer. E H. Winters, for letters of adminis- tration.
