Arizona republican., 1905-01-19

MOTHERS MEETING-There will be a mothers meeting this afternoon at g.: 30 at the Five Points school house, for the formation of a circle similar to that of the central school.
 MORE OF IT-The Elks will hold their regular meeting tonight and the programme will include more tragedy very similar to that enacted every Thursday night for the last month.
 EN ROUTE TO SILVER BELL-AIr Butler, who has been living at Con gress for some time as assistant to Dr. Dennett, was in Phoenix yesterday on route to Silver Bell. Dr. Dennett recently moved to Silver Bell and MT. Butler will join him there as assist ant also.
 THE ROOSEVELT RoAD-Not- withstanding the fact that a report was given currency on Tuesday that eighteen miles of the Roosevelt road had dropped through a hole in the ground, the stages that travel over 1t arrived and departed from Mesa as usual yesterday.
 SONTAG'S GHOST-Omcer Moore yesterday arrested a couple of drunk en men who were found asleep at the old Maricopa depot. One of them was a former inmate of the county hospi- tai and suits very nicely the picture and description of SOntag, the famous California outlaw. MT. Moore says he is certain the man is Sontag's ghost.
 AN OVERSIGHT-It was inadvert- ently stated in yesterdays Republican that there are no lawyers in the coun- cil of the Twenty-third legislature. The Hon. Alfred Ruiz. councilman from Apache county, is a lawyer. and a good one. He has served several terms as district attorney of his coun- ty, and has a high standing in the territorial bar.
 THE LIST NOT MADE OUT-Some of the territorial papers have publish ed what purpOrted to be a list of the Rough Riders from this territory who have been selected by Governor Brodie to take part in the inaugural cere- monies at Washington. It may be stat ed that the list has not yet been made out and that the publication of it is a rough piece of guess work.
 THE BOYD GROUP-Some work has recently been done on the Boyd group of mines in the Winnefred dis trict. The most important is the run ming of a new drift from the main shaft on the DrOperty. This opening developed a new sulphide ore body three feet wide. The ore assays SIT per ton and resembles very much the ore of the Congress mine. Mir. Boyd has some fine specimens of the ore at the Commercial hotel. together with number of nice specimens of other kinds of ore from the same property, taken from lesser depths.
 THE CHA OSSING-The pile driver was at work all day yesterday at the Gila bridge and it was expected would work all last night and this forenoon without cessation. It was an- nounced at the NJ. & P. office last night that no trains would go out this morn ing but that a train would leave here at 30 this afternoon. By the time it reaches the bridge it is expected that everything will be in readiness to re- sume the ferrying of passengers across the south channel, and that the north end of the bridge will be sufficiently repaired for pedestrians to cross to the ferry docks
 MORE TAX CASES FILED-Judge LengstOn yesterday filed eight suits for back taxes with the territory as plaintiff. Though the treasurer has already notified all persons whose ad- dress Was known, who are liable to an action of this sort, there are many, even residents of the county. whose address is not certain and the notice may not have been received. Others who did receive the notice may have forgotten it. As mentioned in yesterdays paper, therefore, it is only the wise thing to do, for every prop erty owner to search the records of his own holdings.
 NEW RATIONS-Articles of the following corporations were filed
