TIA first real winter weather of the
sess0u struck this locality last Sun
day. Late in the evening of that day
the drizzliug rain which had been fall
ing tor several hours turned into
SNOW, aud the mercury started down
the tube towards zero. The storm
continued until late Monday morning
and during the time it prevailed obout
SAX inches of snow. fell. This snow
melted some during Monday but at
night the weather became much colder
than it had been previously and the
ground was frozen to the depth of sew
et.:.l inches. Tuesday it moderated
considerably and since that time it
has hsen growing gradually warmer
!As 4 result the snow has nearly all
disappeared. The cold snap was un-
uauAAy severe for this season of the
yeasp, the snowfall being greater than
any recorded in the month of October
during the last fifteen years.
The cold weather. caused the sus-
pension OF the sugar beet harvest and

had been pulled before the storm were
loaded on- ears and hurried to the fac
tory. These were foulewhat damaged
by the freeze, hut the loss whatever it
msy be will be horne by the sugar
company. The beets that we're still in
tna- ground were not damaged to any
great extent, as the heavy covering OF
oW'preyented them from freezing.

AN OLD HORSE
 CITY GAS FRANCHISE
CLAIM IS MADE THAT ONE NOW HELD BY TUCSON PARTIES
 IS YET VALID HERE.

Douglas, Ariz., Aug. 10.-(Special. J.
 It will be remembered that about two years ago. c. T. Cornell, of this city, applied for and received from the board of supervisors a franchise or a privilege to lay gas pipe in the streets of the city of Douglas for the accommodation of gas plant. The conditions of the franchise was never fully published. but it is claimed that the only condition was that before the expiration of a certain time the pro posed gas company should begin the laying of gas pipe in the city of Doug las Within the specified time when the laying of gas pipe should begin MT. Cornell transferred his right to the franchise to a corporation compos- ed of himself and Tucson parties, in cluding Col. Epes Randolph. and Nose Drachman- This company did lay some gas pipe on one of the streets of Doug. las.
 It was learned this morning that only short time ago the Tucson com pany had an expert here from Chicago for the purpose of estimating the cost of installing a gas plant under the franchise secured by Mir. Cornell from the board of supervisors and that the Tucson parties have by no means ab- andoned the enterprise, but expect to go ahead and install the plant.
 The question will no doubt arise in case Messrs. Randolph and Drachman desire to begin work on the proposed enterprise whether or not the privilege to dig up the streets of Douglas grant ed by the board of supervisors will hold good now that the city is incor- porated. Of course there can be no exclusive franchise granted to anyone for any purpose and the Tucson fran chise could in no way interfere with the franchise asked for now from the city, provided the people of Douglas decide to vote for it.
 It is barely possible that Douglas will see a race between these two gas enterprises as to who shall be on the ground first with pls2t.

UNION CARPENTERS
 MAKE THEIR REPLY
TO STATEMENTS MADE BY MIR. STEWART CONCERNING TROU- BLE ON THE Y. M. c. A. BUILD ING.

Douglas, Ariz.. Aug. 10.-tSpeciaL)-
 The carpenters union in this city are still making declarations that the ". NJ. c. A. building in this city will remain on the unfair list until MT
 Stewart, the contractor. makes Q change in his method of hiring and paying labor. They reassert that Mir Stewart is working men as carpenters who are not paid the scale of this city and neither are they worked the regu lar eight hours.
 | It was surprise to many people of Douglas when it was learned that the contractors of the Y. NJ c. A. building have never given work to but two of the Douglas carpenters. The contract or has the right to hire whoever he pleases and for what he can get them to work for, but it is a matter to be re- gretted that the workmen in Douglas could not have this work.
 This morning the committee of the union handed the following to the h. ternational-American and asked its publication:
 To the Editor of the International American: The committee of the car penters union on the Y. NJ. C. A. diff culty beg leave to say a few words in reply to the statements made by MT Stewart; as published by you yester- day.
 As far as we have been able to learn no one but the two Mexicans he brought from Fl Paso did any of the carpenter work on the building until it was ready for the roof trusses. and since then have been using tools with the other carpenters, and as Mr Stew art told our committee that called on him last Monday that one of them was preferable to a large majority of the Douglas carpenters they must be pret- ty good mechanics and not laborers as he claims. Yet he refuses them car penters' working hours and pay. Only two of our men have ever been em- pioyed there one of these but thirty seven hours, the other little over two weeks
 -4r. Stewart does not deny making he promise to our former committee hat we claimed he did. which he did lot. and now absolutely refuses to ful- l i'll, but he can be just as absolutely | ure that We cannot consider his job i lther than unfair until he does.
 If Mir Stewart was discriminated | against in the purchase of his mater l als as the men of Douglas have been 1iscriminated against on this job, af- ter their help in making the building possible, his "holler'' would be loud enough to drown a locomotive whis- tie.

Went to Fl Giobo Mine.-D. E. Hell Ter, who is acting in the capacity of consulting engineer for the Roy Con- solidated Mining company, left this morning for that property, in the vi cinity of Nacozari Mir. Heller goes to the Fl Globo camp for the purpose of arranging for the excavations neces- sary to accommodate the new stamp mill, which he has purchased and will arrive in the near future. Mir. Heller will be at the mine for a week and then return to Douglas, by which time it is expected that all the blue prints of the mill will be here. The Fl Globo has recently decided to install a new hoist for the purpose of hoisting ore from winze which was sunk in a tun- nel. The machinery in connection with this hoist has already been practically ordered. The new saw mill recently erected at the Fl Globo is now in oper- ation and is cutting all the lumber re- quired at the property for building as well as mining purposes.

4 PIONEER NOW ON 4
 VISIT TO DOUGLAS
COL. ED. PECK, WHO ARRIVED IN ARIZONA IN 1857 IS
 HERE.

Douglas. Aria, Aug. 16.-tSpecial)-
 The real pioneers of Arizona are
 growing scarce. There are but few remaining in the territory who came
 before the organization of the territo- ", but in Douglas today is man who first came through thls section of the west in 1857, five years before the ter ritory of Arizona was cut from New Mexico and given Q separate govern ment. This man is Col. Ed. Peck, the discoverer of the famous Peck mine il
 Yayapai county. which proved to be one of the richest silver miles in the territory of Arizona. On his first trip through what is now Arizona Col. Peck then a mere boy, was with a party from his native state of Missouri en route to California.
 After a few years spent in the Gold en state Peek returned to Arizona and has been in the territory ever since, residing mostly in Yavapai county
 though during the early days he was acquainted with all the Americans then here At that time the headquar- ters of the northern part of the territo- " was Prescott and there the pioneer prospectors would outfit and return there when they consumed all their supplies. Tucson was the headquar- ters for southern Arizona, and during the dangerous periods when the Apa- ches were on the war paths all the whites would seek protection at the garrison in the Old Pueblo
 Col. Peck has lived to see Arizona grow into one of the richest mineral states in the country from a wild and uninhabited waste; he has seen the h. dian trails converted into industrial wagon roads and later followed by the railroad; he has seen Prescott, Phoe- nix, Jerome, Globe. Tombstone, Cliff ton and Bisbee spring up and attract the attention of the world for the re- markable mineral wealth which they have produced: he has seen the Salt | river valley developed and astonish 1 the world with it's agricultural possi- | biiities; he has seen the Csiia valley re- | claimed and become the scene of pros porous and contented homes and now he sees the government realize that Arizona is yet ready to furnish thous- ands of additional prosperous homes and undertake to store the waste wa ter of the territory and with iJ reclaim millions of fertile acres.
 Colonel Poch has been acquainted with the men whose names will be handed down to posterity because of i their determination in planting pros perity and civilization in this territory, beginning with Hon. Chas. D. Poston, {; the first territorial delegate, and com ing on down to the immortal "Bucky'' | O'Neil.
 Col. Peck is now on his way to Sono- l ra, for the purpose of examining some mining properties for an eastern party. | He came direct to Douglas from No gales He was in Douglas a little more than three years ago and though he has kept posted on the town through the newspaper reports of it's continued advance he declared that when he got of the train at the depot it was hard to realize that he was in Douglas, so marvellous has been its growth.

The Douglas juniors have arranged to play the Bisbee juniors in the Copper city on Sunday.

Nacozari Concentrates Now Going to Globe.-The concentrates from Ma. cozari, Sonora, which have heretofore been smelted in Douglas at the Copper Queen shelter are now being sent to the Old Dominion shelter at Globe. The concentrates arriving here from Nacozari amounts to from five to eight cars per day. The smelter in Douglas is crowded to the limit of it's capacity on the Bisbee ores and the concen- trates will probably be sent to Globe until the new furnaces now being CT ected at the Copper Queen shelter in this city are ready for operation.
