LIMESTONE CON. MINES
r.,r shafts Sinking Below the Wa
 ter Level

Tba Tombstone Consolidated Mines .ompany is now operating at four diff 8 s,,,nt shafts below the water level, and Il n,o f,ct that work is under way at ,;dely separate points with the limits os inc huge water basin that underIies tbs Tombstone district IS a matter of considerable significance, in that the
 water problem is fast fading away and ,bat each stubborn obstacle of the wat
 sry depths is being overcome and
 made to yield to the ingenuity of ap-
 proyed scientific engineering and
 modern mining methodS which have
 characterized the operations of the
 company
 The four points above mentioned are
 inc big main shaft of the company,
 the Emerald, the West Side and the
 Silver Thread. Az the two latter
 placeS-which are some 50 feet below
 tbe old water level-some good ore is being extracted and shipped, while at
 the main shaft drift is being run at rbe zoo level-l00 feet below the water Iine-toward the phenomenal Couten- ton and Grand Central ledges, to reach the rich ores that made these properties famous in the early days of the camp, This drift is in l20 feet.
 At the Emerald, the incline shaft is now below the water line and will be crowded tO the first station, when drifting will be started toward the ore zone.
 When it is remembered that the dis. tance between the Silver Thread on the north and the Emerald on the south is over a mile and half, the magnitude of the work of the large pumping plant at the intermediate point in draining this immense dis trict will be at once recognized. The mammoth pumps keep sending swirl ing stream of nearly 2,000, 900 gallons daily to the surface, and the big four shaft is being continued downward to the l000.fJot level, which is the objective point of the company
 About three carloads of ore are being shipped daily by the company to the Fl PaSo smelters, and about loo tons per day are being shipped from the Lucky CuSs dumps to the same point. The latter dump contained some l2, 900 to l5, 900 tons of ore, which was con tracted for by the shelter company PrOspectOr.

UNITED STATES OFFICIALS
 PLACED IN A DILEMMA

The United States authorities here are in another dilemma. John sum- ner Mack night, politician and organ izer for the socialist party at Yuma, is confined in the Tucson jail on the charge of selling liquor to Indians. Mack night imagines the Jail man. moth meeting hall, and County Jailcr Martin J. Duffy is his audience. Mac Knight spends half the day in an ef- fort to convert Duffy from democracy to socialism, but his efforts have proved of no avail, as the alderman remains true to the principles of Thomas Jefferson. In short, MacKnight is insane, but harmless and the United States authorities do not know where to send him. If territorial prisoner he might be sent to the insane asylum at Phoenix, or if government con- vlct to the asylum at Washington, D. C., but in his present status he cannot be moved to either of these institu- tions, and Mir. Duffy must listen to his arguments until the grand jury takes action on his case.- e.-Tucson Post.

DEADLY RABBIT BRUSH"
A Poisonous Plant, That rhrives Along
 Water Courses

George Morse, the Arizona cattle man, was in Florence Wednesday, and informed us that he he had lost seven- teen head of cattle within the two weeks just past, says the Arizona Blade
 He had veterinary surgeon perform an autopsy on one of the dead COWS to determine the cause of death. The doctor found that the blossoms of an innocent looking little herb which grows along the banks of the Florence canal, had caused the mortality among Mir. Morse's herd. Thls little weed is called in common parlance, rabbit brush" The doctor told Mir. Morse the botanical name of it but it was so long George could not carry it on his horse and We will have to send freight team after it before we can give it to our readers.
 The COWS seem to be fond of the withered blossoms of this long-named plant and eat all they can find of them. The fibre of the blossoms seems to be indigestible and balls up in the front veranda of the stomach, so to speak This puts the general digestive organs out of business, aud inflammation of the stomach sets in and life ''sets out' for parts unknown. Cattlemen should make an effort to destroy this rabbit brush" before it spread, over larg areas.

Berlin medical journals report that some remarkable cures of mild cases of appendicitis are being made by new method of treating the disease before the knife is needed. Certainly 1t is an original, almost an aboriginal, method. It is nothing less than to require the patient to walk on all fours for twenty minutes four times day. | is claimed that certain muscles around the vermiform appendix are brought into play and strengthened by this quadrupedal cure, which are unused when d biped walks erect. Others are relaxed and the localized inflammation has opportunity to sub side.

WINTER HOME OF THE
 DESTRUCTIVE CHINCH BUG

It appears that Arizona is to be allicted with the chinch bug, pest that has given a great deal of trouble to agricultur'stS in the grain growing states, unless prompt measures are taken against the insect. It will be remembered that the wheat fields of the upper Gila valley were greatly damaged last season by some sort of an insect pest which was at fist said to be the chinch bug, but the identity Of the insect was later denied.
 From the SOlOmonville Bulletin it appears that the pest was the chinch bug aDd that he is preparing for an effective campaign the present spring. The Bulletin says: It is stated that in the ields throughout the valley when old and dead trees and logs are burned that beneath the bark is found the chinch bug, where this destroying in- sect Is awaiting ths coming of warmer weather to again swarm down upon the wheat crop in this valley, causing the loss Of thousands of dollars to the farmers One incident is cited where an old dead willow stood in a field with the bark peeling of. The farmer in q Iestion was burning the brush there abouts and the willow caught fire Wishing to save the tree for fuel, the farmer began stripping off the burning bark and was surprised to find it in tested with countless chinoh bugs which had been warmed by the fire and vera on the move.
 This condition of affairs calls for prompt action on the part of the farmers in this, unless it Is desired that d similar calamity to that iu 1903 should be visited upon this section. Oar informant suggested that the farmers in this valley should immedi ately burn all the dead trees whose clinging bark makes delightful re- treat for the deadly chnch bug, like wise the old logs in their vicinity and along the banks of the canals.

WORK WILL BE PUSHED
The TOnto Reservoir to be Hurried to
 COmpIeliOn

A Washington special to the Phoenix Republican, says:
 A.. P. Davis of the geological survey, In charge of the reclamation work in the Salt river valley, leaves tonight Tor the west. He has been in Wash ingtou for two months, called nere in connection with reclamation projects throughout the country.
 He says the work on the Tonto dam will be pushed rapidly now to compile tion. Judge Kibbey and B. A. Fowler of the Salt River Valley Water Users association are bringing their negota tions with the department for the ex- ecution of the contract between the government and the association to close and it will be signed in few days.
 Meantime the work is going on with as great expedition as if the contract had been signed, for that is a foregone conclusion. Mir. Davis says there are more than 300 men employed in the various operations about the dam, in tunneling, road making and preparing the foundation for the cement plant and other preliminary work. The force is as great as can be advantageously employed at this stage of operations.
 It is not known yet what will be done about the cement, only it is cer- tain that it will be manufactured on the ground, either by the government or by someone who gets a contract. The government is disposed to let the contract if it can be done at reason able figure. Bids in response to the second call have not been received.

A NATIONAL PARTY

Small independent PAL ties are to be
found in every part of the United
States. Many OF them have been sue
cessful In cities, towns or counties.
Every one OF these successes have
been gained by advocating peoples
party principles. The successes In
San Francisco, Detroit. Cleveland, and
many eastern cities have each and all
been MADE possible by advocating To-
cally distinctive populist programs.
What has been called the liberal
democratic party in New York has
had great success In many parts Of
the state and polled many thousands
OF votes, yet II has been a well de-
fined popullst movement with plat
forms Identical with that OF the pco-
Piles party. When II came TO state
and national politics the men who
had fought and won locally by advo-
eating populIat principles found that
they had no way 10 express their
opinions through tho ballot box.

money power had very lively part
in the final agreement to allow Cuba
to become a nation. They were look

issued her first lot of bonds through

New York. That house takes $685.
100000 at 80. That is to say the pnr-
chasers of these bonds will get 16 per
cent interest the first year and per
cen. afterwards. The city of Havana
is to put out $2S 100000 more. These
will be sold below 80 and the rate of
interest will be higher. Now here is
Cuba, which Is about the size of the
state of Nebraska, and rot more pro-
ductive saddled with se3,00O,000 OF
bonds. A good many men in Ne
braska are raging around like Texas
steer on stampede because the re-
publicans have run up the debt of
the state to two and a quarter mil
lions. What would they say at $685.
000 900 debt just as a starter?
1t is the American money that has
got this hold on Cuba. The people of
that island will toll for the benefit of
the New York millionaires for the
next century or two and the fruits of
their toll will go to add to the ac-
cumulations of the twenty men down
there who rule us with such an iron
hand. After us, the deluge.' Vote

fact, though the organization that
won it was known by some other
name.
From every part of the Union there
has grown up in thef last few years
a demand for national organization,
bringing all the Independent parties
into action under one name and as
parts of one organization This Was
made possible by the action at st.
Louis. Adding to the agricultul al
vote, which has always been populist,

ing populist principles, and there are
not less than 2,50O,000 of them. That
is the number of populist votes We
have to start out WITH. There are
more than 100000 straight populist
votes in the state of New York alone,
who have proved themselves to be
populists by voting with the liberal
democrats and other independent or
CARNATIONS which advocated oopullst
principles.
SSSSSSS9
The disgust among the common peo-
pie against the rule OF the rich for
their own benefit is shown in the re-
publican party as well as in the demo-
cratic party. Several large cities
where there have been republican ma
jorities of many thousands have been
wrenched from the control OF that
party by an uprising. Just at present
Milwaukee Is attracting attention.
That city has always had a republi-
can majority OF from 5000 to 10000.
but now they say the party has no
chance to elect It's city ticket at all.
There Ii an uprising there against the
rule of corporations and machine
graft. The ight that will be made
will be upon distinct popullst prin-
clplea. All these Kind OF voters win
find a home in the peoples party after
the next national convention at
sprlnheld, Ill, to be held on the
Fourth OF July next.
