NO MORE FLOATING DEBT
All ArizonA's General Fund Warrants
 To Be Called in Tomorrow.

Territorial Treasurer Christy an- nounced yesterday that on February he would call in all the general fund warrants and so wipe cut the floating debt Of the territory. The warrants run back to February. 1902. They amount to S142. 7.05. with accrued in- terest amounting to S7,969.65. There will still be money in the general fund tc take up current warrants for sev- eral months
 This has been made possible by three unusual sources Of income. Yavapai county paying the back interest on the ?. GA. C. bonds, amounting to $65.000. There has been received from fees for interpretations little more than S2S.0O0, and there has been turned into the general fund about S14,0OO of the tax levied by the last Legislature for the construction of the normal school dormitory. That levy raised $2S eco, only about half of which was needed for the building.
 The bonded debt of the territory is about $3,OOO, eco. but of that amount only about s1,OCO.00O belongs to the ter ritory. the rest being the funded debt of the counties and cities.

BOARD OF GOVERNORS
Regular Meeting Held Yesterday in
 the Association Rooms.

The board Of governors of the Water Users association held it's regular meeting yesterday sfterncon, eight O. the ter members being present A committee of two waited upon Enginee1 l.. C. Hill, who is now in the city, re- questing him, if SO inclined, to address the board respecting the proposed freight road from Goldfield to the dam site. Mir. Hill responded and spoke briefly but very interestingly on the subject, though he said he did not at this time desire to submit any estimate on the probable cost of the completion of the work.
 A committee consisting of Dr. Will bur, A. J. Chandler and Frank Aikire was appointed with authority to take such steps as it deemed advisable in urging the city councils of Phoenix. Mesa and Tempe to hasten the matter of submitting to the people the prOposi- tion for the issuance of the Tonto road bonds. as provided for by the bill that recently passed congress.
 A letter was then read from E. A. Fowler, president of the association. It was written in Washington on the Fist. The board after hearing it decided to request it's publication by the city pa pers The letter is as follows:
 "Gentlemen:
 The last net In the somewhat eX- tended and long drawn out effort to secure the passage of the TontO Road Bonding bill eliminated in the presi- dent signing the bill last Thursday af- tefuoon, or two weeks, lacking one day, after it had been passed by the Senate. This long delay was caused by the fact of it's being q bill affecting the terri tory and hence necessitating several references and no little red tape. The hill reached the state department on Friday, and tomorrow I shall be able TO send to Mayor Bennett chairman of the Tonto road committee, a certified copy of same.
 "The passage of this bill through it's different stages has called for continual vigilance and an amount of hard work seemingly out of proportion considering its character and object
 However, that is now matter of record and of history, and we can well congratulate ourselves on having sue cessfully achieved our purpose.
 Tt is no longer a question, Have we authority to build?' but Are we alive to the golden opportunity which the building of this road will bring?'"
 If we are, the road will be built: if we are not, the penalty and punish ment and losses are ours and ours alone.

THE PoPE's WATCH.

The favorite gossip of Roman draw ing rooms centers around the poTe's simplicity and sweetness of character. During a recent interview the pope sock out his watch and looked at it. It was an old. much-rubbed. much bat tered nickel watch, attached to h.s waistcoat by an ancient leather boot lace. One of the noblemen present who noticed this humble timepiece, could not restrain his horror at the thought that the head of the church should have so poor a watch. He instantly took out his own watch-a valuable lev CT, with g. monogram in jewels cn the bacll-and begged the pope, as a great favor, to exchange watches with him that he might carry away a personal souvenir of the visit. But the pope re- fused the offer with great vehemence. My mother gave me this, he said, caressirg the old nickel tuInip, when T was a boy. I fastened it on with this very bCotlace, and vowed that I would wear if so long as it would go at all. A vow" added his holiness, re- turning the watch to his pocket, which always believe to have been the cause Of the admirable time that my chro. rometer keeps to this day and never gets cut of order"

LETTER FROM B. A. FOWLER
Believes There Will Be No Action on
 Statehood Question This Session.

President E. A. Fowler of the Phoe- nix ard MaricoDa county board of trade. has written a letter to Secretary Van der Veer. under date of January "A. in acknowledgment of the receipt of the protest sent to him and others in Washington by that board against the admission of Arizona and New Mexico 10 statehood jointly. The burden of the letter is that while there is still danger of this undesirable admission in this undesirable way. the movement seems to be losing force. MT. Fowler says:
 '"The sentiment in Washington today on the subject of joint statehood is very different from that which was prevalent here two months ago. Then powerful influences were apps rently making headway in favor of joint statehood. Now the opposition to it has become so strong that 1 believe it is not at all dangerous.
 But to bring this sentiment about no little work has been done by many friends of Arizona.
 The crisis here has, in my judgment, now passed, but l have in my posses sion information to prove beyond all chance Of doubt that there was good grounds for grave anxiety. Nor is the danger wholly passed, although my opinion is that there is little cause for anxiety.
 Tt is always so that some brainy in dividuals two or three thousand miles away know much better how to run a campaign than those thickest in the fight. In my humble opinion, the best way and time to put out a blaze which threatens, no one knows how large @ coniagration, is. while not getting ex- cited. to stamp it out or smother it when small. In other words, Nip it in tl:e bud
 ''I look for no statehood action, sin gle or double, during this session."
 MT. Fowler encloses a printed copy of the Tonto Road bill as signed by the President, and states that he has sent certified copies to Mayor Bennett, to Clerk Schuerman, of Tempe, and to Clerk Pomeroy, of Mesa. He adds:
 There ought to be absolutely no question about our carrying the bond election by an overwhelming maority if our citizens can only be educated up to full realization of what this con- structed road will mean to the Salt River valley

THE MODERN BLAST FURNACE
improvements in the Art of Iron.
Making.

In the early days of blast furnace
practice the hot gases were permitted
to escape at the mouth of the furnace,
but in later years the wastefulness OF
this practice was recognized, and the
mouth of the furnace was closed by a
massive cast iron cupand-cone ar
rangement, which is only opened for
a fresh charge. In the latest designs
there are two cones, one above the
other, forming a chamber between
them on the principle of the air lock,
by which arrangement the escape of
the gases is entirely prevented. A
large steel pipe or 1ue which curves
out at the right near the top Of the
furnace, conducts the gases downward
to a big drum or dust collector, and
from this the gas is led to what are
known as the Cowper hot-blast stoves,
of which there are foul to each blast
furnace with one in reserve. The
charging of the blast furnace is &C.
complished by means of an inclined
elevator with one or more steel bug
gies which travel from the ore pile
mouth, where their contents are au-
tomatically dumped.
One of the most effective improve
ments in the art of iron making has
been the heating of the blast before
it enters the furnace. This is done
in the Cowper hot-blast stove, a large
cylindrical wrought-iron tower, about
On foot in 1iornofor on6 on foot in
height. 1t is lined with friedrich, and
contains, on the side next to the fur
mace, a large vertical f1ue. into which
the furnace gases pass by way of a
valve at the bottom. The rest of the
interior of the stove is occupied by a
mass of friedrich pierced with innum-
cradle vertical f1ues extending from
top to bottom. The hot gases from
the blast furnace are ignited on en-
tering the base of the large flue by adj
hitting air to them by means of q
valve, and the hot products pass up
the main fue and down through the
mass of brick work, finally escaping
to a lofty steel chimney.
AS soon as the fire brick "checker
work. as it is called, with which the
stove is filled, has been heated to the
proper temperature the gases are shut
off and turned into the second stove.
The cold blast from the blowing en-
gines is now turned in at the bottom
of the first stove, passes up through
the heated fire brick and down through
the main f1ue, and finally is led to the
circular blast mains which surround
the furnace just above the tuyeres.
To supply the hot blast for a simple
pair of the largest furnaces of the Ed
gar Thompson works requires a large
amount of horse power, the engine
house for each two furnaces contain
ing five pairs of huge Allis-Chalmers
blowing engines of 1000 maximum
horse power, capable of delivering
each about $4,000 cubic feet of air per
minute at twenty-five pounds pres

Cats Kill. lntrudinu Snake,

A native woman living in Old Cairo,
Egypt, was entering her house the
other day when to her great terror
she perceived q snake Of formidable
dimensions, which had taken posses
sion of the hearth during the owners
absence. The woman fed, leaving the
door open. Her cat then appeared on
the scene, entered, saw the cobra. put
up it's back and tail, spat and other
wise manifested it's hostility, and in
turn went out. A few minutes after
ward it returned with a second cat.
After a similar exhibition both went
out and returned with q third, and
similarly went away, returning finally
with a fourth. Considering that sufd'
cient to kill the snake, the four then
fell on the reptile, and after a short
but fierce struggle the latter was
literally torn to pieces.
