The precipitation during Marcn was
not only above normal in the mountain

and il many localities as great as the
total for December. January and F'ebru-

OF the month snow fell daily over a
large area in the san Juan and the cen

tricts. The storm Of the 31st which ex-
tended into April. brought unusually
heavy falls IN central and southern dis
tricts At moderate elevations the snow
generally melted as it fell. and much OF
the moisture was absorbed The amount
of snow IS now greater than heretofore

Progress of the Copper Queen Plaat
 and Expansion of the C. & A.

The big stack on the new Copper Queen smelter looms up like a light house, or will if the company sees fit to adopt the suggestion and establish an attractive light on it, says the Daily Dispatch. It would be an attractive land mark and beacon light to the new conner bewildered as he invariably is by the mighty industrial display about him.
 The stack is 26 feet in diameter at the base 25 in the superstructire and just 200 feet and inches high. and is com pieted except the frills with which the top is usually ornamented.
 The magnitude of the work at the new smelter has never been fully un- derstood, though dimensions and fig ures have frequently been published. It is estimated that fully 700 men are em- ployed in and about the great work. The work under construction included a large steel frame building to be used as a sampler. Thousands of tons of

Tn Convict Stripes the startling melodrama of heart interest. will be the attraction at the Doris theater next Monday, February s. The play is one of the seasons sens ltional suc- cess, and well does it deserve such rich reward. This is one tha- will strike home in the heart of every man and woman in whose veins there runs good red blood. It deals with the Hoblest and the basest of human emo tions, love and jealousy. and cleverly has the author done his work. The action of the play takes place in the far south and gives much opportunity for local color and quaint character sketching. The climaxes are thrilling and the great scenes in the third act wherein the workings of a southern convict camp are shown is one long to be remembered The production is a most careful and generous one and the company appearing in the great play is one of exceptional merit and contains such well known people as Vivian Prescott, Hattie Laurent, Minnie Pearl, Alice Leise, Baby May.

CALUMET AND ARIZONA.

There is q vast difference between toadyism ard righteous praise for d good mission well performed. In the latter spirit it must be admitted that Superintendent Wood has made a re- markably fine record in the manage ment of the Calumet (, Arizona smelt- CT. It is conceded that the plant has realized more copper from a given per cent ore, and reaped the results more swiftly for its capacity, than any smelt- CT in the history of the industry.
 The third furnace was recently put in commission. The three when run ming regularly represent close to 900 tons capacity, but one of the older furnaces is, at the present writing, be- ing overhauled. In the month of De- cember the C. & A., with its present capacity. turned out 3.S5O,O0O pounds of blister copper, a magnificent com mentary. not only on the efficiency of the management, but on the quality of the ore.
 These people are going after artesian water immediately. They have just completed two oil tanks of 45,000 gal Ions capacity each and are preparing to put in a fourth one. Their prepara- ton would indicate that they contem- plate gigantic operations from now on. The shelter employs about 200 men, but with the improvements and addi- tions under contemplation. the force is apt to be doubled several times be- fore the end of the year 1904

This means. unless the predictions of the best min ing experts in the world go for naught, that there will be a large body of ore exposed at the head of Mescal guich iIL the near future. The company promis es that work will be started within six ty days and that three shifts will be worked.
 The mines are located q short dis tance almost directly south of Senator Clark's United Verde mine. and in the heart of the Jerome mineral zone. Some of the best experts in this country have been over the property and all have ex pressed the opinion that it contain at a depth a big body of ore.

MRS. BROWNS EXPERIENCE
A Departed Business Which Is an Un'
 pleasant RemnisCence.

Colonel T. T. Hedger, who came here some months ago with the intention Of going into business, has made several efforts in that direction but they al ways land him in the district court. Yesterday suit was filed against him by Elizabeth c. Brown. who stated al length her cause of action.
 She said that some time prior to De- cember 2S. of last year, she was en- gagged with Dr. J. A. McDonald in the business of feeding and selling horses gt the corner of Fifth avenue and Washington streets. Almost everybody in that immediate neighborhood knew that there was an enterprise of that kind being conducted, but it was not generally known that Mrs. Brown was interested in it. It seemed to have been promoted for the purpose of collecting all the unemployed horses in this community.
 Mrs. Brown says that there was q large number of horses and there, was also a large number of bills and several notes Just before December 2S, Col onel Hedger showed symptoms of de- siring to engage in the horse sale and feed business: the activity which seemed to prevail in that neighboT- hood, and what he had all along been seeking was activity. About the same time Mrs. Brown was beginning to wish to retire. Therefore. a deal was ef- fected with fewer notes and replies than have attended the negotiations between Russia and Japan. It was arranged that Mrs. Brown was to re- ceive S200 for her interest and that Gel onel Hedger should assume her share of the liabilities of the firm. Not long after the induction of Colonel Hedger into the business there ceased to be feeding and selling of horses at the corner of Fifth avenue and Washington street an3 now Mrs. Brown complains that she not only never received any part of the agreed upon purchase price. but that most of her share of the orig inal debts of the concern stand against her. She asks the court to compel Col onel Hedger to settle up.

 PRESCOTT CHALLENGED.-T The Phoenix baseball team which has been amusing itself lately with the Glendale nine. has gained sufficient confidence in itself to challenge the Prescott team to a diamond contest. The challenge provides that CIT certain conditions the Phoenix team will go to Prescott and make an honorable effort to defeat the YaVapai lads on their own grounds.
 DEATH OF DR. NEWTON.-Dr. Charles William Newton, of Toledo, O., who came to Phoenix several months ago for his health, died yesterday at Grants ranch. pr. McAfee will con duct a brief burial service at Merry mans parlors at o'clock this after noon, after which the remains will be sent to Marietta, O., his native place, for interment.

 A NO FENCE DISTRIcT-The pray CT of the people of Glendale has at last been granted by the board of su pervisors which yesterday ordered the establishing of a no-fence district em- bracing the whole of Glendale justice of the peace precinct The district was asked for not so much on account of the tendency of the people in the dis trict to allow their stock to run at large as for protection against the cat tie of the Cave Creek ranges.
