Water in Abundance.

In our last issue mention was made of the good body of water en- countered by J. J. Gilson in the well he is sinking on his lots. The work has been steadily progressing the past week, and while the vol ume has increased somewhat, DOT ton of it is lost because of the blasting necessary. The water now showing up comes from the hole he drilled some time ago and bubbles up as though there was considera- ble pressure behind it. The forma- tion in which they are now working is very hard, and when that is passed an increased flow is looked for.
 MT. Gilson is to be congratulated on his stay withit qualities, as he has thus demonstrated that by go- ing through the cinders, which form q considera ble portion of the earth's crust here, water is encountered. A few wells with the flow he now has would supply the town. and he is only down about 15O feet, which is no depth at all where water supply is at stake

Monday two cars of machinery, etc, were sent out, and on Thursday car of lum- Der and one of water was taken to the mines. Just as soon as every thing can be gotten in position the work of sinking the shaft will be- gin-which marks new era in the business of Coconino county.

One Got the Correct Answer.

We have been handed the fol- lowing:
 Seemingly the brick problem of the Los Angeles Examiner is creat- ing a great deal of worry and trouble to all of California and part of Arizona. For instance, a gen. tleman in Williams was asked if a brick weighs seven pounds and a half brick, what would a brick and a half weigh. The answer was a brick on the head, which he claims weighed a ton, and seemingly no- body cares to ascertain the weight of the remaining half brick.

Special to the NEWS.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 16, 1904 Supply of range bred stuff last week was moderate. There was quite a sprinkling of good branded steers, Kansas fed, which, for qual- ity. compared well with the natives and sold about evenly with the lat ter. Most of the western steers have been light weights and have sold well, because that class of steers was wanted more than heav fer ones. Colorado steers averag- ing 1900 to 125O lbs. sold at $4.5O to $4.60, and light weight western fed up to $4.7O. Sales of fed stuff were shade lower than previous week; 1000 lb. Colorado feeders brought $4.2O, as good as any time the previous week. Common kinds of stockers and COWS were lower. Fed western heifers declined 15 to 25c for the week, as light weight butcher stuff has been considered too high recently Some 971 lb. heifers sold at $395 Thursday, and 73S western heifers brought $4 324 Wednesday. A few western COWS were received and sold steady with previous week. They were medium quality and sold from $29O to $3.15. Stock calves were lower; also veal calves. Some southwest ern stock steer calves of good qual- ity sold at $4@425, weighing from 32O to 3SO lbs. Supply today is | normal Mondays run of 5000 head. Market steady on beef steers; stro1 2 on stockers, feeders and butcher steers.
 Sheep supply last week was 15,- 400; about half of the supply of same last year, at which time Texas grassers were coming in fast. Prices advanced 5@ 1Oc in spite of the av- craze poor quality. Some wooded lambs brought $6.6O the first of the week and nothing good was re- ceived later. Run today is 5000 head. Market. steady; wooded Col orado lambs sold at $6.6O today; western lambs, $5.75; weth- CTS are worth up to 5.25; ewes, $5. | Texas grass sheep sell from $46O @5. The good prices are expected | to remain, as receipts are bound to be short for some time to come.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
 BRIGHT ANGEL TRAIL AGAIN

In our last weeks issue there ap- peared clipping taken from the Phoenix Republican.in re the Bright Angel toll road. It read:
 It is alleged that their right there rests upon the fact that years ago a certificate and plat of the road was properly filed by some man who has passed out of existence and that the present occupants claim to be operating under right that de- scended from him 10 them.
 Peter D. Berry, proprietor of the Summit hotel at Grandview, .Ari- zona, has recorded exceptions to the above, as follows:
 II am not dead yet, and if the man who authorized the above statement will call on me at Grand. view, he will find that I have not passed out of existence.' 1 am the man who filed certificate and plat of the Bright Angel toll road. and likewise secured franchise for the same, and any action by Niles J. Cameron or his associat tes in re this road has been with my knowledge and consent.
 'I will admit that I was on the sick list last week, but I have paid exorbitant freight rates over the Santa Fe railroad during so many years that l have become tough to the extent that l am apt to go down the ages-a bowling example of virtuouS longevity.
