Recent strikes in the lower levels of the Samoa and Fourth of March claims show the vein to be one of the richest in the Chloride section. The mine has been under the management of L.

This ore has virtually paid for all the work done on the pro- perty.

TO FINISH RIGBY PLANT AT
 MAYER.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

W. A. Frazer, who some two years ago came to Arizona to assume charge
 of the construction of the buildings of the Rigby Reduction Works at Mayer, and who superintended the construc- tion of all the buildings, arrived in Prescott last evening. He is here to complete the installation of the plant, which work was stopped some time ago. Mir. Frazer states that the Col orado country, where he has made his home since leaving here, is enjoying a most prosperous year, and that busi- ness conditions generally are better than in many years past.
 When questioned as to the new Mayer plant, be said that its completion will not be delayed day longer than is absolutely necessary, and that he will have a force of men at work within a few days Two expert mechanics from Colorado are to follow, and ar rive here within three or four days, and the entire plant is to be installed as rapidly as possible. He explains that if the delivery of all machinery and material is prompt, which is very doubtful, the works might be complet- ed within three months, but that he thinks it may prove five months be- fore the plant is ready for operation.
 In reply to inquiry as to the capacity and quality of the new works he said that its capacity he could not very well make plain, as he is not eonver- sant with the operation of the plant. He spoke in high terms of the manner in which the buildings had been put up, declaring that all of tle twenty made probably the best plant of its size in ie territory. The installation of the machinery. which is slow work. will call for quite a large force of men in various capacities, and he declares that everything in connection with the machinery is of the very best.
 MT. Frazer will leave for Mayer today to at once arrange for com mencing work. and hopes to be able to complete his task without any de lay. General Manager Rigby arrived in Prescott late last evening to con suit with NIT. Frazer. and both gentle men will spend the next few days in Mayer.

Learn ing of his lack of money at the time of his death, they solicited funds among those who were well acquainted with the old miner, and the result was funeral in which many of his friends of early days took part. Father Ben nett, of the Episcopal church, offeiat- ed at the chapel in the Maus undertak- ing parlors, and the remains were given burial in the same manner as is the case where the deceased might be more prosperous.
 Inquiry among friends of the dead man who know of his past family re- lations, shows that Crague some ff- teen years ago had half brother re- siding in San Diego, and at that time the brother was conducting a wholesale liquor establishment It is known from people here that this brother died some five years ago. It is further stat ed that a son of deceased resides in Oregon, and that married sister is a resident of some small town in Kansas. Another brother or half brother is re- ported to be resident of some mining district in Colorado.
 This information is given at the request of those best acquainted with Crague in his lifetime, it being hoped that some definite news of his relatives may be obtained.

and the Fort Whipple officers say that
 the aptitude of the men is remarkable.
 We are pleased to show you what we can do, and would have been better
 pleased if more of you had visited the

 ona compares favorably with the

 war, here can be built up one of the

 the toast, "The Regular Army" spoke
 briefly, stating that he was with the
 Guard last year, and that be is aston
 ished at the advancement.
 Colonel Epes Randolph, guest of the occasion, was introduced as a
 builder of railroads, telephone lines, and other large projects, and that gen tleman replied in witty speech. Arizona is unique under the sun of hesven,'' he said. "Every man is here either for the good of the terri tory or for that country from whence he came Communities are divided into two classes, those who work and those who talk. As I have not been accused of working much, and cannot talk, you will wonder why l am here. The truth is, am here to revenge my self on two great branches of the gov ernment, the executive and the judi ciary. As to the former, am forced to tell you that I wrote the speech which the Governor just delivered. l have been lowing to the judiciary all my life.

In closing he ventured the opinion that there IS not a town in the country where such good feeling prevails to- wards the army, and Prescott has the same kindly feeling for the militia. He was sorry that the "smoker" had not been a reception, for then the officers would have had an opportunity to meet our ladies, which, the speaker declared, were the best part of Prescott.

WILL BE HIGHEST DAM IN THE
 WORLD.
(From Fridays Daily.)

It is reported on the very best of authority and from a source that can not we'll be doubted, that plans are now being considered in Washington that will throw the original intentions with regard to the building of the Tonto dam far in the shade and make of the undertaking one far in excess of the or
 iginal plans in point of immensity.
 This information means nothing less than the making of what will be the highest dam in the world, one-third
 higher than the original plans called for. This of necessity will cause the ! enlargement of the whole structure
 many fold, and increase the cost of construction and lengthen the time set for the completion of the work in pro portion.
 Great as were the prospective bene- fits to accrue to the valley from the dam as originally conceived, they were as nothing when compared to those that will ensue if the information proves to be correct, and there would seem to be little doubt but that it will soon be officially announced.
 The increase in the height of the dam tO the extent of one-third of the present contemplated height will mean the addition of at least 500 per cent. to the estimated capacity of the reservoir under the original plans and it takes no engineer to figure out what this added volume of water held in reserve for irrigation purposes will mean to the valley.
 Great as was the undertaking as ori- ginally conceived, this new order of things, and the new plans now being considered by the government will dwarf any other irrigation project ever or conceived of.
 While the proposed increase in the height and consequent added strength of the Tonto dam has not been def nitely decided upon by the authorities at Washington, it can be stated that the proposition is being seriously con sidered with every prospect of it's be- ing adopted, and judging from what has been learned of the plans as at present being considered there is little or no loubt but that the official announce nent and verifeation of the informR- lion will not be long delayed.
 In connection with the enlargement 1f the dam the government is also aying plans for an immense power plant and pumping station on Fish .reek- The project. along with others ,f ike nature. has been under con alteration for some time, but it is 'nly lately that it has hogun to take lcnr;te shape. until HOW it has been ettleC that the water power at thf-t .-':. shsll he utilized To the utmost.

BISBEE HUSBAND KILLED BY
 WIFE.
(Fsom Wednesdays Daily.)

Mrs. Henry Savage, formerly mis- tress of house of i'll fame in Brewery gulch, near Bisbee, shot and killed her husband Saturday evening in front of their home in Tombstone canyon. She was awaiting his arrival from down town, and as soon as he appeared be- fore the house, she called on him to come no further, or she would kill him. The next step he took Mrs. Savage pulled one of the triggers of a doubie-barreled shotgun and sent the load of shot crashing through his head. He fell to the ground and died instantly.
 Mrs. Savage gave herself up. She claimed that her husband has beer mistreating her and their haLy for some time, and she could not stand the abuse longer. She shows 70 reIao-se for her awful crime and seems to think that she was justified in taking her husbands life. Savage came to Bisbee two years ago, and worked as a bartender at various saloops.
 The inquest was held, and the v'r- diet of the jury was that the d,:eas- cd had come to his death from a gun shot wound, the gun being in the hands of his wife She was arrested at the conclusion of the inquest and placed in jail to await preliminary hearing.
