Memorial to CerVera.

Six years after the Cuban campaign
of the Spanish-American war a me-
mortal is being sent to Admiral
Cervera for the Spanish navy, express
ing the appreciation of prominent
Americans of his sending word to the
American feet that Hobson and the
crew of the Merrimac had been rescued
and would be kindly treated unit
they could be exchanged. \ dispatch
from New York announces that Arthur
Bird, editor of The Sidney N. -
Record sailed a few days ago on a
steamer for Spain to carry the elabo-
rately engrossed testimonial to the old
Spanish admiral, who is now at his
home in Cadiz.
The memorial is thirty-six by forty
eight inches and is handsomely
framed. The American and Spanish
flags are crossed at its top, and the
coats of arms of the respective coun-
tries occupy the corners. Then comes

Substitute For Cocktail.

Don't take cocktail. Just breathe.
This is the advice OF a doctor who
does not believe in the old medical
policy of mystery, but who undertakes
philosophically to explain to any
patient why such a remedy should be
beneficial.
"When you are let down, con-
tinued this physician, "don't take a
cocktail just breathe. Put your
frger on your pulse and get its
rhythm. During eight beats draw in
the breath, breathing deep and low,
and forcing the diaphrahm down first,
then filling the upper lungs. Then
exhale this breath during four beats
of the pulse.
"Now if you are working with a
piece of machinery, say typewriter,
what do you do to make it run more
smoothly You don't put lot more
oil on it, and gum and clog it all up.
You clean it first. You can best clean
the blood by breathing. The blood
passes through the lungs, and it needs
and expects to find plenty of fresh air
with oxygen in it. If it can't find
perfectly fresh air, it needs more air
which is not perfectly fresh. 1t needs
to be cleaned by contact with the air.
"ODce in a while hold the lungs
full of breath as long as you can with
out expulsion. In doing this you are
simply cleaning the machine. You are
cleaning the blood. At the same time
you are giving that little flip to the
action of the heart and the nervous
system, which you thought you were
giving when you took the cocktail. In
the latter case, you didn't clean the
machine. You simply ran it little
faster and gummed it up a little
more. You can get the same results,
the same feeling of exhilaration and
of accomplishment, without taking
the cocktail, and at the same time the
machine will steadily improve in its
running quality. Breathe the best
air you can get and plenty of it. 1t
is as necessary as food. The heart and
lungs act Involuntary. In that case,
don't take a cocktail, just breathe. -

Lon Hall is meeting with great en-
couragement in the sale of the pulp
sizer which he recently invented. He
has sold quite a number Of them al
ready and has several prospective
sales. He visited the souther part of
the county last week, among the other
places visited being Congress, and the
Congress Consolidated Mines com
pany are considering the proposition of
installing the machines for the pur-
pose of separating some white quartz
which carries no values, from their
ore, and the management of the COM
pany considered the machine a great
invention. A number of experienced
mining men have examined the sizer
and all unite in prOnouncing it one
of the greatest inventions along that
line of anything they have ever seen.
After seeing the machine Hon. A. j.
Doran, who has spent many years in
the mining business, and should be
pretty good judge of the value of
such a machine. was so impressed
with it that he asked Mr.. Hall to
build him one of them to take back
to st. Louis with him to be installed
in the mining machinery building for
exhibit, as he says 1t is the finest
thing he ever saw for the purpose for
which it is intended. The machine
is so simple of construction, and can
be built for so small a cost that it
can be placed on the market with
out any great outlay of money and
should result in making Mr.. Hall
rich man.

THE EXTENSION
Of ROCK ISLAND
Prescott Down on the
Projected Line.
What Is Claimed As Aficial An
nouncement From Officials of
System Published.

A New York telegram of recent dat
says that according to reports iron
good authority in Wall street, tn
Rock Island road has mapped out
route to the Pacific coast, and if th,
present promises of improved traffic
conditions are fulfilled this year, con
struction gaRgs will be set at worl
with as little delay as possible.
The old Rock Island company had 1
survey made across Colorado seven
teen years ago, and the proposed
transcontinental line will follow thi.
route. The present Rock Island line
now reaches Colorado Springs. 1t il
planned to build a railroad from this
point to San Diego Cal, with various
branches, making about l, $50 miles
of new construction.
Skilled employees of the Rock Island
have been collecting information and
statistics regarding the proposed
new route for mnay months. The
Rock Island syndicate already owns
half mile of valuable water front
and franchises in San Diego, together
with nearly 1000 acres of land.
The surveyed route from Colorado
Springs runs east on the Great Horn
range of mountains and will tunnel
the Sangre de Cristo range. Thence
it pursues a southerly course, passing
near Alamoss and entering New
Mexico near Durango.
In New Mexico the proposed road
will cross San Juan valley, passing
through extensive coking beds. Cross
ing the old Atlantic and Pacific rail
road at Thoreau, \. NJ, the new line
will connect with the American rail
road, which owns Cottonwood canyon.
For 200 miles the Rock Island ex-
tension will run westerly through
Arizona to Prescott, over a plateau
which is covered with dense forest
of pine timber, belonging to the
United states government. There is
also practically lnexhsustible sup
ply of heavy pine timber in western
New Mexico which this new line
would enable the Rock Island people
to put on the market with at least 500
miles shorter haul than any other line.
The Denver Post publishes a SINH
lar announcement alleged to have
been officially promulgated by officers
of the Rock Island system and &C
companies the article with map il
Illustrating its route. According to
this map the road would pass through
Gallup, Prescott and Yuma.
In the event of the building of such
a road the availability of the use of
the proposed tunnel through the
Black Hills might be considered if
the latter enterprise is inaugaurated.
Color to the report of the proposed
extension of the above system is
added by the fact that party was in
Prescott during the past week in the
interest of the above road.

New Use For Telephones.

An interesting article in the New
York Tribune specifies some of the
new but practical uses of the tele-
phone. 1t is related, for instance,
that clearly and sweetly the words OF
the famous old hymn, Chow Firm a
Foundation came to the ears Of the
patients in the Samaritan hospital in
Philadelphia. on a recent Sunday
DR.. Russell COnwelI had caused. the
hospital to be connected with the
Baptist temple by means of tele-
pboes, and, with megsphones strung
in front of the pulpit and receivers in
the hospital wards, the singing and
the words of the sermon we're dis
tinctly heard by the patients.
The telephone company undertook
the contract to place telephones in all
the wards of the Samaritan hospital,
of which DR.. Conwell is the president,
and to hang a string of megaphones
in front of the platform at the church
For those patients who we're too weak
to hold the receiver to the ear head
attachments were provided so that
without the slightes exertion on
their part the services at the Temple
could be heard almost as plainly as
though they occupied seats in the
cbrroh Tho vOice of the preacher
came strongly and clearly over the
wire, every word caught by the meg
aphones and carried to the delighted
patieuts at the hospital. The singing
to the accompaniment Of the great
organ was so realistically close to the
ears of the hospital inmates that many
Joined involuntarily in the exercises,
scarcely realizing that they were
long distance from the scene OF the

and will try and show Jerome people
that we do not forget acts of kindness.
GRANITE DELLS.
On account of some disagreement
between the committee on arrange
ments and the Miners Union at
Jerome the latter organization with
drew from having anything to do with
the celebration at Jerome and
planned an excursion and picnic to
Granite Dells. As the smelter at
Jerome closed down on the evening
CT the third for few days to allow
for making repairs, there we're some
200 of the miners and their families
took advantage of the opportunity and
spent the day at that place, which is
one of the prettiets little spots in all
Arizona. Notwithstanding the fact
of the fire few days ago which de-
stroyed several bu ildnigs, the place
bad been rebuilt until one could
hardly tell that there had been any
thing unusual taken place there.
In addition to the excursion from
Jerome there we're a number of people
there from McCabe, Walker and
Groom Creek, and there we're probab-
ly between 200 and 500 people went
out to the Dells from Prescott, max
ing a total of close to SEQ people in
all
The day was an ideal Fourth OF
July and everybody bad big time
The committee on arrangements ap-
pointed by the jerome union to pro-
vide sports for the day, worked hard
to keep something dong and as soon
as every body had enjoyed an hour or
two looking around the place, boat
ing, swimming, ETC., and had either
enjoyed the lunches they had brought
or partaken of the splendid lunches
provided by Mrs. Shumate and her
corps of assistants, the sports were
started and the first on the program
was a drilling contest in which three
teams took part. The first team to
drill was from McCabe, composed of
T. ]. Arnold and Julius Warlop.
Like all the other teams that took
part in the drilling, these men had
never practiced together for five min
utes in their lives, and in fact Arnold
had never drilled in contest before
in his life and had never done any
double handed work. However, with
the able assistance of Abe Legget, OF
McCabe, one of the best roOters who
ever came over the pike, and an all
round first class miner, who acted as
"ehuck tender for the boys, they
hich was $50 by drilling a hole
211s inches deep. The second team
to drill was composed of Jack Carter
and Frank Molsnd, of Jerome. They
only drilled 1734 inches. G. A.
Cedar and VIM. Gilheaney, two miners
from Senator Clark's Iron King mine,
were the last team to drill and they
took second money, s25, by drilling a
hole 1919 inches deep. The rock in
which the drilling was done was the
big granite boulder in the middle of
the lake, and was pronounced by all
to be very poor rock for drilling as it
was too coarse. P. j. Farley was
judge of the contest and a. c. Gil
more official time keeper.
After the drilling contest was over

VAST SYSTEMS
Of IRRIGATION
For Arizona Discussed
by Gov. BrOdie.
The Immense Agricultural POssibil-
tiles of the Colorado River Basin
Under Consideration.

A recent telegram from Washington,
, speaking of the presence there of
Governor A. o. Brodie, says that he
is in hearty sympathy with the aims
and purposes of the reclamation ser
vice. AS chief Of commonwealth that
embraces large tracts of arid lands,
he appreciates the benefits that will
follow system of scientific irrIga-
ton. In response to an invitation
from the director of the United States
geological survey, he has recently
made some pertinent suggestions in
regard to the work of measuring
streams and investigating the Colo
RADIO for irriagtion purposes.
Next to the Salt River dam, which
is now in process of construction,
Governor Brodie thinks that the Colo
RADIO river project is the most import
ant. There is no greater area of irri-
gable land in the southwest, he de-
clares, than along the Colorado river,
from above Needles to the Mexican
border. The available land continues
in vast stretches after the river has
departed at Yuma for the sea. This
river frequently overfiows its bank
and damages crops in the cultivated
section about Yuma. 1t would, there
fore, seem advisable to provide means
for storing its flood waters. Governor
Brodie also advocates the construction
of levee from the town of Yuma to
the Mexican line to prevent the over
flow of the river.
He suggests that the water supply
of the Santa Cruz valley be investi-
gated, that proper attention be given
to the artesiaD belt in San Pedro val
ley, and that the numerous small
reservoir sites in different parts of the
territory be exploited. He thinks it
would be advisable to extend the sur
veys already begun to the upper
stretches of the Salt and ella rivers,
for the purpose of locating available
reservoir sites on those streams and
their tributaries. The same might
also be said of the Little Colorado
river, which takes its rise IN the
vicinity of the White mountains, in
the eastern part Of Arizona. 1t is
probsb BILE that on all these streams
and their tributaries reservoir sites
may be found where flood waters
could be stored for use on lands in the
valleys below. Subsidiary dams might
be constructed in the upper tribu-
taries of streams and assistance thus
rendered those farmers who are strug-
Cling with uncertain water supplies.
Governor Brodie also thinks it ad-
visable that surveys fer the location
of underground water supplies should
be extended. These will be useful in
furthering irrigation enterprises de-
pendent on power pumping plants.
In connection with Governor Bro
dies suggestions, it is interesting to
note the announcement of n. H.
barton, chief of the surveys western
division of NEUROLOGY, that provision
will soon be made for a study of the
waters in the Santa Cruz and San
Pedro valleys.
