A VISITING Phoenix
yesterday had as guests. w. H. Thorn
as and L. II. Rogers. both of New
York City. Their visit here is Of a
purely pleasure kind. neither of the
gentlemen having ever been in the
valley before. Mr.. Rogers is a liter
airy man Of considerable note, the au
thor Of several books, the latest OF
which, THE Kite Trust" has been his
greatest success. Thursday the gen
tIemen made a trip over the Phoenix
& Eastern road to the properly Of the
Saddle Mountain Mining company, the
superintendent OF which property Mr..
CEittenden. is a personal friend Of Mr..
Rogers. Both gentlemen had words o.
praise for the valley and its future
prospects and especially for the dis
trict traversed by the Phoenix & Eas-
tern road. There was one special rea-
son why N'r. Rogers desired to visit
Phoenix. Some years ago Judge Dean
of New York City, who was in poor
health. at the earnest solicitation of
Mr. Rogers, started for Phoenix. 1t
was the latter gentleman's intention
to Join him here and spend several
months. for they We're great friends.
The noted jurist, however. never
reached the territory, having died en-
route while passing through the city
of San Antonio. Both NJ. Rogers and
Mr.. Thomas left for the east this
morning.
a GOOD WALKER-A miner who
walked down from Castle Creek Hot
Springs on Thursday would certainly
get a blue ribbon and perhaps some of
81
himself at the fair. He covered the
fifty miles as quickly as any ordinary
plug Of a team could do it, and didn't
feel much the worse for wear either
He left the springs at + o'clock a. m.
Thursday morning and got into PhOe-
nix about p. m. All the water he car
ried across the desert was in two bot
ties and ne reached a ranch above
Glendale before he got very thirsty.
But he knew the way and knew his
own strength 50 all he had to do was
to get in and trek. He says he has
walked over almost every road in Arl-
iona in the last twenty years. He re-
lates one incident that occurred sew
eral years ago when he and couple
of friends came down from Globe 10
celebrate. After it was all over and
they were back to a careless state OF
financial embarrassment his two
friends started back to Globe, over the
trail He declined to walk and waited
a day later then followed them. Some
where in the vicinity Of Tempe he
found a horse in pasture and decided
to ride il a few miles out on the de-
sert, then turn it loose and let it come
home. He led the horse out Of the
pasture and mounted him but got off
again real suddenly alighting in
heap in the road with mis- face and both .
hands badly bruised and skinned up /
He Immediately changed his plans and !
permitted the horse to go back in the I
pasture while he returned to Phoenix
When asked by his friends how ne re- /
ceived his injuries he replied that he /
fell off gravel train trying to beat /
his way out of town. From that day to /
this he has always preferred walking /
except when railroad officials give him /
passes or horse owners furnish acct /
lent policies with their steeds.
