which MT. tldrk mas been directing his energies for the past four years. and the consummation of his nego- tiations will result in the speedy construction of what will be the 1 largest electric power plant in Ari- zona. Dr. B. G. Fox has been as
 sociated with MT. Clark for the past three years. and has assisted in look ] inp after their interests here and on
 Salt river. The capacity of the , plant when completed will be 5000
 horse power, and the construction
 will consist in part of 30-foot con-
 crete diversion dam in Salt river
 just below the mouth of Cherry
 creek: q tunnel 10lJ feet long, 10 ! feet high and 13 feet wide, through
 the mountains to point opposite the
 upper end of Redman flat, about i three miles above the Coon creek trail At this point q pipe line will
 cross Salt river from where the
 water will be conducted by canal to
 q point about one mile above Pinal creek, where the power house will be built. At this point the water in the
 canal will have d head or fall of 2s5 feet to the river bed. The double pole line for transmitting the power | from the generating station to Globe
 will follow Pinal creek all the way to Globe.-GlObe Belt.
 At Douglas one night last week J.

 the stomach of John NJ. Johnson, and
 may have been about to pull the trig-

 Printy to the floor with d terrific
 blow. Printy staggered to his feet
 with his gun still in hand. As he
 made to raise it Johnson struck him again. Printy fell to the floor in d heap. and q doctor was necessary.
 Several stitches were taken in his
 head. Johnson was struck in the face by Printy's gun the second time Printy fell, and q couple of cuts
 made. Otherwise he was not in- iured The meeting occurred at the Queen Bar about lU o'clock. John
 son was standing at the bar with friends when Printy came in and
 called for glass of beer. He stood
 d few feet from Johnson. Wheeling suddenly upon the latter he showed hia-...,n- him-as -ahnVe stated. After the nght Johnson went up town with his friends.
 The long drawn out litigation be- tween Phelps. Dodge & Co.,, of New
 York, and Lycurgus Lindsay, of Los
 Angeles. which involved the owner ship of and right to work the heart of the great copper deposits of So- nora. Mexico. has been settled by ar bitration. The New York firm. bv the terms of the agreement, has the right to operate the copper proper ties located by Lindsay, but later transferred under operation to the lndiana-Sonora company, of which Thoms Taggart, now chairman of tiit ANiioN sttlt I'tlIolld tOllHllllCC, was q member. Phelps. Dodge X Co. have secured controlling inter- est in the IndianaSonora company, owning the original lease of the Thomas Taggart and other promi ncnt organizers and stockholders of the Indiana company. The settle mcnt of the controversy involved l the expenditure of $2,0O0,O 900 on the | part of Phelps. Dodge & Co.,, that amount being the purchase price of the stock control of the Indiana-So- | nora company. plus the expense in | cured in the development of the | mines.
 The PittSburg's newly installed | pumps were started last week and | are now working with the greatest | to the operators. Seven | hundred gallons of water is being | out per minute. This water goes into a tight board Hume, we'll | calked, and is carried down the hill. l A fall of little better than loo feet | is secured. The purpose of the tight | Hume, which will carry considerable water in excess of the amount now being put into it. iS to save the en- tire flow for the purpose of utilizing it at the bottom of the fall for the operation of power motor. The latter will upon installation at an carly date furnish the electric power necessary for lighting the surface and underground workings of the property. With the increase of water the company is almost certain to get at depth below the 950-foot level from which pumping is now be- ing done. the opportunity for getting important power service from the Hume will be excellent. It is not at all unreasonable to expect that with the flow utilized to the full extent of it's value it will furnish sufficient power to operate all the equipment of the company. Such result at tained would be of high economical value in development and operation of the mine.
