THE OLD AUCTION FLAG.

[sno YOU see that bright red banner
g<sRloating proudly in the air,
&SAclaiming in bold letters,
That an Auction will be there,
And an Auctioneer that's famous,
AS an orator and wag,
will fight the war of commerce,
Under that
Old
Auction
And when the sale commences,
And the people gather near,
It's marvellous to note the sales
Made by that Auctioneer.
You may talk about department stores
With all their bluff and brag,
But they cannot hold candle
To that
Old
Auction
Flag.
oh. there's nothing like an Auction
To liven up the town,
Start business in motion
And make the wheels go round.
When a sale is brisk and lively,
And not allowed to drag,
There is nothing so inspiring
AS that
Old
Auction
Flag.
Then may that proud old banner
Forever proudly wave,
In city and in hamlet,
Where dwell the free and brave.
Excelsior is it's motto,
~-a,ar Iet the interest lag,
But keep up the reputation
OF that
Old
- Auction
Flag.

Must Face Arizona Charge.

s. P. Bowen, the insurance solic- itor of Los Angeles, Cal, who tried to pass a number of bogus checks in this city last week and who was arrested Saturday night by Consta- ble James Smith, will be taken to Flagstaff, Arizona, where he will be prosecuted for forging the name of Rabbit Bros. That company was in correspondence by wire with Chief of Police McMillin yesterday and that officer has decided not to prosecute the man for his wrong doing here, but to turn him over to the Arizona authorities. The man Bowen is in a pitiable condition. He says that strong drink lead to his undoing, and his present de- plorable condition proves the truth of his assertion. He claims to be 55 years old, but does not look to be within ten years of that age. Sheriff James Johnson of Coconino county will arrive this morning on No. ? to take the prisoner back to Flagstaff Albuquerque Journal, May 2.

Plenty of Water at Prescott

The Santa Fe Pacific railroad company is one of the heaviest con- sumers of Prescott's water supply, and at the present time the revenue derived from this one source will aggregate over $12OO per month. This sum is more than that re- ceived from the city. In addition to supplying their own wants along the line of the railroad the com. pany is also retailing it to several sheepmen at various points, all watering holes>and springs being dried up on grazing ground in northern Yavapai and Mohave counties. This water supply is furnished from Del Rio springs, and in order to accommodate the railroad demand as we'll as the sheepmen, daily water trains are run for this purpose. Notwith- standing That over 5OO.OOO gallons are taken daily from these springs, the flow is in no way diminished and measurements show that even in the face of a severe drought, as is prevailing at the present time, no perceptible decrease in the vol ume is apparent. Without the present source of supply the water question for this city would be serious one to contemplate.-Pres- colt Herald.

Elks has membership of 160. The Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows will also occupy the lodge room.
 It is learned that the Southern Pacific is considering a plan to throw open to settlement all its un- occupied lands in Texas and Lou isiana. It is stated that the only terms are that the settlers will never sell the lands, but keep them always in their families. Should they attempt to sell the land it is to revert to the company. A cam paign to induce colonization from the east and from foreign countries is to be pushed.

Passenger Record Made This Week.

Traffic over the Canyon road has been enormous this week, no less than 4,20O people having visited the great gorge, and the manner in which the crowds were handled by the railroad as we'll as the hotels speak volumes. AS a result of the Methodists' visit the town is con, siderably better off, financially, as many dollars were taken in by our merchants. In all there were twelve special trains, comprising ninety nine cars, besides seven or eight special cars.
 Nearly all of these people had through tickets to the Canyon, but the local office did quite business, as 600 round-trip tickets were sold. After the conference is over there will be a repetition of the rush.

An Heroict Act at the Canyon.

Whilst numbers of Pullman cars, all filled with tourists accompany ing the Methodist excursion to the Grand Canyon, were quietly rest ing on the track within a few rods from the headquarter offices of the United Gold and Platinum Mines company at about g o'clock on last Saturday evening, and hundreds of people were strolling about the grounds, enjoying the mountain air and their own social intercourse, an event occurred unbeknown to nearly all of them which came very nearly casting a gloom of terrible sadness.
 Not more than ten feet from these offices was stacked upon the ground in the open air ton of black pow der. This had been covered with cloth to protect it from a recent snow storm, and the cloth had not yet been removed. Numerous loco motives were passing every few minutes, and the sparks from them showering as they passed. Some sparks fell upon the cloth and put it in blaze. By simply an acci- dent, Capt. William F. Meeks, su-

Lost His Nose at the Canyon.

Monday at the Canyon Con- ductor c. E. Cain, in charge of one of the specials, met with a serious accident. He was in the act of re- leasing a brake when the engineer released the air, causing the brake handle to fly back, throwing Cain against the car window and almost severing his nose. He was brought to town and the organ sewed into position by Drs. Rounseville and Melick and later placed on the limited and taken to the hospital at Los Angeles.

WRECK ON CANYON ROAD
Regular Train Ditched Sunday by
 Broken Rail

Last Sunday the regular Grand Canyon train was derailed a mile north of Valle, thirty miles from Williams. The accident was caused by a broken rail, and from the manner in which the engine, ten der, two water cars and the com- bination baggage and smoking car bumped over the ties through a cut it is miraculous that no serious damage resulted and that no one was injured.
 The accident happened, too, in the midst of the heavy traffic to the coast of customers bound for Los Angeles to attend the Methodist conference, and a number of spe- cial trains were delayed many hours before the road was cleared.
 Ralph Morrow, of this city, who was on the train, going out to take look at the Canyon, said the prompt action of Engineer Lums- den in applying the air undoubt- edly averted a catastrophe. AS it was there were several severe jolts (during which Ralph dropped to the floor for protection between the seats) and then it was all over. Assistance was sent out from here and the passengers brought to town about 1 o'clock am.

perintendent of the company, with friend of his. chanced to leave the hotel, where they were calling, and started for the offices. When about 300 yards therefrom Capt. Meeks saw the blaze, and at once realizing the danger of a terrible explosion, started at full run to remove the burning cloth. It was like running into the jaws of death. An explo- sion was liable any second. He never ran 300 yards before in twice the time he did then, and by mere good fortune succeeded in tearing off the burning cloth, and getting with it at a safe distance, he waited for the hot cans to cool off little before examining them. When he did return they were still so hot he could not touch them. People who saw him make the run and saw the blaze, yelled at him as he turned to come back, but he not needing them, rushed on and per formed an act of heroism seldom performed by even the bravest.
 Had the explosion occurred not only would he have been killed, but the offices, cars and buildings all around would have been in ruins, and many persons killed and injured, and loss of thousands of dollars incurred. Much praise is due Capt. Meeks, who did what few others would have dared to do.

VALLEY IRRIGATION
Government GeoIosist Makes Trip
 From Grand Canyonto Needles

ological survey, accompanied by William Hut and F. NJ. Barnes, arrived in Needles yesterday, hay ing completed a trip by boat from the Grand Canyon of the Colorado to this point. A year ago MT. Lee made the trip from Needles to Yuma in company with E. T. Per kins, government engineer in charge of the reclamation service along the Colorado river. The present trip is one that fills in the gap and was particularly made for the pur- pose of studying the Colorado river escarpment, which in this particu- lar section has not before been wis ited by government geologist. The information resulting from the trip will be used in the making of a geological map of the western portions of Arizona and which will be used for government purposes, particularly as an aid to the pres ent government scheme of reclaim ing the lands of the Colorado river valley by the building of dams for power and irrigating purposes. The trip was made by the way of King man overland to Temple Bar and the mouth of Hualapai wash where the party built their boat and ascended the river into the Grand Canyon for a considerable distance for the purposes of the study of formations, and it was at this point that Mir. Lee makes the statement that the scenery is grander, more rugged and with greater distances than at the Bright Angel trail. The several damsites between the Grand Canyon and Needles were geologically studied and will be re- ported. The site at Bulls Head canyon. the site of.the dam which will distribute the water for the local valley, was said by MT. Lee to be a most excellent one, and while he will make some sugges- tions regarding the particular loca- tion of the dam, he considers the sight a very practical one. The dam sites above Bulls Head can yon will be more for the purpose of power than for irrigation, as the acreage is limited and the problems of getting the water to the land are expensive. MT. Lee left here last evening for Kingman and thence to Bill Williams fork and eastward to Phoenix. During the trip MT. Lee has made close study of the geological and physiographical structures, which will make part of his report and of the map Needles Eye, April 30.

The investigations of the geolog- ical survey have brought to light facts about the enormous quantity of underground water which are calculated to astonish the ordinary reader. Below a depth of about six miles it is believed that no water can exist in the rocks be cause the pressure probabl closes all pores; but above that level the amount of underground water is estimated to be equal in quantity to one-third of all the water con- tained in all the oceans. If poured over the land surface of the globe the underground water would be sufficient to cover it to uniform depth of from 5000 to $500 feet.- NJ. and K. Review.

THEIR PLOT FAILED
Desperate Convicts at Yuma Try
 to Make Their Escape

Under the leadership of Vim. NJ. Laustanan, the leader of the Mo rency riot year ago, number of convicts of the territorial prison at Yuma, April 2S, attempted to make their escape. The plan adopted was the one which proved so sue cessful at Folsom, Cal, last year, but in this case failure. While Supt William Griffith and Assist ant Superintendent Wilder were conversing in the yard they were surrounded by convicts armed with knives and razors. Griffith ordered a guard on the wall to fire into the crowd regardless of the presence of the officers, and Guard Stevens re- sponded by firing three shots from short barreled gun loaded with buckshot. Five of the conyicts were hit and MT. Wilder was also hit in the thigh. The convicts in order to protect themselves from further shots rushed their captives into the yard office at hand. Col. Griffith shouted to Convict w. c. Buck, a life termer and chief cook of the prison to come to his assistance.
 Buck rushed into the kitchen and procured a carving knife. He dashed into the men struggling with the superintendent and sue ceeded in cutting one so severely that he may die. Col. Griffith managed to break away from his assailants and rushed from the yard to the armory, where he se- cured a weapon and went upon the wall. In the meantime the con. victs who were struggling with the assistant superintendent managed to overcome him by stabbing him near the shoulder with a knife and knocking him senseless with the blow of heavy file.
 The men then secured MT. Wilder and using him as shield went to the main gate and were gong to demand the keys from Gatekeeper Clark. When they got to the gate they were met by the superintend ent with the secretary of the prison, both armed, who held them prison CTS until they were disarmed and Mr. Wilder rescued from their clutches.
 Convict Buck was sent from Gila county about four years ago for the murder of Adolfo Bojorques. There has always been some doubt as to the guilt of Buck. Previous to that time he had borne fairly good reputation and many have ever since believed that a mistake was made at the trial. The fact that the punishment was not fixed at death was believed to be a sign that the court was not satisfied as to the guilt of Buck.
 THE first copy of The Humanist, a woman's suffrage paper puplished at Phoenix by the women of the territory, has come to our table It is bright, well-edited paper, and will doubtless help the cause of equal suffrage. Itclaims to appeal to the human in mans nature, and we know no one better able to find 1t than woman.
