This afternoon the run con tinued, but
the withdrawals were only about $1,000
President William Il. Rowland and Cash
Ter Newton r. Bryan stated that the run
was absurd. The run may have started
from the fact that a small amount was

In the deal, and the claim was sold FOR
nearly the face value.

1t is not alone at the Tonic
basin that the government en-

geological survey states that
engineering parties of the re-

upon scale Of 1-3168O, with
contour interval Of 5 feet, the
country being mapped to a 100
foot elevation above low water
level in the same latitude.
Investigations are being made
for a suitable dam site with
diversions for a canal upon the
California and Arizona sides. A
transit party is making, angular
locations of these canals and a
canal topographic party on each

detailed map of the topography

Supreme Court Decisions.

Although the territorial SUI
preme court, with Chief Justice
Kent, Associate Judges Doan,
Sloan and Davis sitting, handed
down in the neighborhood of
fifty decisions yesterday, none
were considered as important to
the territory in general and Mari
copa county in particular, as
the cases of the users OF water
against the canal companies.
The decisions of the lower court
in the cases of Martin Could VS..
The Maricopa Canal Company,
Tom Brockman against the Ma
ricopa Canal Company, and ]. d.
Marlas against the Grand Canal
Company, we've reversed while
the cases Of Henry SloSSer and Il.
G. Van Fossen against the Salt
River Valley Canal Company,
were affirmed, the Slosser deci-
sion being slightly modified to
conform with the other decis-
ions.
The court in its opinion, bears
out every contention made by
Judge w. H. Stilwell, who began
the fight against the water
company and in behalf of the
water users in 1895. In brief it
is simply this: Users of water
have right to water without
either purchasing or renting a
license to buy from the canal
companies. The court holds that
the company is a quasi-public
servant, and therefore can not
arbitrarily discontinue the ser
vice in whole or in part On
