COMMITTEE DE SIXTEEN
Made Good Progress in Yesterdays
Conference.

The committee of sixteen which is
struggling with the proposition of de-
vising a plan to facilitate the settling
of she priority water right suit, held
an all day session yesterday in the
rooms of the Water Users association.
They did not finish their work and
adjourned to meet again Tuesday
morning at $3.50.
Fourteen out of the sixteen mem
bers of the committee were present,
the days proceedings were harmoni-
Gus and it is believed fruitful of good
results. The committee has before 1T
a set of resolutions embodying a plan
for equitably caring for the interests
of the water users under each canal
system, the conditions of which are
varying, and at the same time faciH
tating the settlement of the priority
suit. AS soon as an agreeable ar
rangement has been decided upon for
the lands under any one canal the
matter is covered by an additional
section of the resolutions and the next
is taken up. All but one or two of the
canals have now been taken care of
and it is believed the work of the
committee will be finished at its next
meeting when the resolutions will be
available for publication.
Members of the committee last night
expressed themselves as very much
pleased with the progress made and
said the result of the committees
work would be to greatly aid the court
in the settlement of the big lawsuit
1t is not intended to infer that the
committee will aid in constituting the
law but it's aid will be in harmonizing
the interests of the numerous par5ies
to the SUIT so that fewer clashes will
occur and the court win be able to
deal in greater generalities. 1t is be-
lieved that most of the water users
under the canals will admit the just

table of dissection. During the ex-
element resulting from some rich gold
discoveries being made in Yuma county
along about 1889, a Mexican outfitted
for a "trip to the Eagle Tail range of
mountains southeast from where Har-
risburg is now. The story that he told
was TO the effect that when about
twelve years OF age he had run away
from home and while roaming around
met three men with a jacktrain in
camp. He joined them, and performed
the services of cook or aid when a per-
manent camping place in the Eagle
Tail range was reached. Each morning
the men went farther into the noun
tains, returning each evening with
something in baking powder cans. The
boys curiosity was worked up to know
what they nad in the cans, and one day
went out and opened one of them and
his eyes bulged out for the can was
full of nuggets and coarse gold dust.
But the boys curiosity was not yet sa-
tisfied and the day following he made
further investiga tons and followed the
three men and found them taking out
gold. By this time the boys actions
had aroused suspicion in the minds of
the Frenchmen, and not only We're the
cans of gold deposited where he never
found them again, but the kindness
with which he had been previously
treated gave way to the narshest kind
of abuse which developed into positive
cruelty, and one morning while it was
yet dark the boy rolled his blankets and
three days and nights of walking
brought him foot sore and hungry to a
friendly home at Hot Springs.
Nothing was ever heard of the
Frenchmen again. and the only theory
that can be arrived at is that they were
slaughtered by Indians and their trea-
sures carried away The Mexican was
positive that he could locate the place
where he had seen the Frenchmen dig
ging gold, but after some weeks Of eX-
posture and hardsnips, he and his party
Wee compelled to return TO Harrisburg
without making a success of their
quest
During the last twenty years num-
erous parties have at various times
gone into the Eagle Tail range looking
for the lost mine and it's hidden trea-
sures, but without being rewarded by
the finding Of the Lost Frenchman mine
Some few years ago after l had left
Yuma county and gone to Oregon to
look for the Los Squaw mine, the re-
port went out from Yuma that the lost
mine had positively been rediscovered
a few miles south of Harqua Hala,
but that rumor passed into thin air,
too.
Now, it's not for me to say. that
McHughes has not found the Lost Sol
der mine in the mountains about
Winkleman in Pinal county as was re-
ported in The Republican last Friday
morning for there are a number Of lost
mines in Arizona and any prospector is
liable to stumble on to one of them At
any time, and I viii say, further, that
1 only visa he has found it."
The old prospector is in Phoenix
from Oregon for the winter, and is
comfortably domiciled in one of the
tent houses belonging to Joseph Thorn

ADJUSTMENTS

"Thelma" is proving a very popular
play and not the least of its attrac-
tive features is the special scenery,
which is exceptionally beautiful, es-
peciaIly the aurora borealis and the
arch of death. Tonight "Thelma" will
be produced for the last time. 1t is
excursion night over the Southern Pa
cifc- During the season many extra
photos were ordered and on account of
many persons leaving town they have
not been called for. On Saturday
night one of these souvenir photos will
be given to each lady holding a re-
served seat ticket. Only the patrons
from Mesa and Tempe are entitled to
those photos tomorrow night. Next
Wednesday night a prize of IS will be
given the amateur who presents the
best act. No specialties will be given
by the members of the company and
the amateurs will work between the
acts. The contest is open to all. All
applications must be in by p. m. on
Wednesday and must be presented at
the box office.

BUDDING DESERT CITIES
Prosperity OF SaIOme and Winden On
the A. Q .R.R.

c. H. Pratt, the chief promoter of the
new town of Salome and its associated
enterprises was in Phoenix yesterday
and when asked how things were de-
VelOping in that section replied that
everything was entirely satisfactory
and he had a firmer faith tlan ever in
the future. The little town now has a
resident population of between thirty
and forty and every few days some new
man or family comes there to locate.
But there is a constantly increasing
transient population SO that there are
generally quite a number of people in
town beside those referred to as resi-
dents. Not a train comes to the town
that it doesn't bring somebody for the
new desert metropolis. In addition
there is a population of between three
and four hundred in the surrounding
hills who depend mainly on Salome as
a supply point and are constantly COM
ing and going.
Mr.. Pratt says that while the COM
pany has plenty of town lots for sale
and may some day dispose of them to
non residents or Spectators, at the
present time they are selling to nobody
but residents or those who are arrang-
ing to settle and grow up with the town.
The purpose is to build up the COM
munity and develop the surrounding
country and that cannot be done by
tying the property up to spectators.
The promoting company at the present
time controls nearly every business
enterprise in the town for the reason
that it has started everything. AS the
, town grows it will no doubt dispose
of various lines to the right people and
devote itself more extensively to others.
1t realizes though that to make money
itself it must help others make money
and build up a good town full of ener-
getic people.
Mr.. Pratt says that the administra-
tive part of the Salome business affairs
has been entirely under the supervi =
sion OF Dick Wick Hall, who has a
working interest in the company and
he is very much pleased with the re
suits to date. He says that every line
of business, merchandising, blacksmith
ing, restaurant, corral, etc, is making
money That is it is returning a pro-
fit though of course there are no divI-
dends for all that is taken in and much
more is reinvested in new enterprises.
But the businesses now established are
returning a profit over running ex-
penses and the town is yet only in its
infancy. He says that the coming win
ter a large number of shade trees Will
be planted on the street lines and other
improvements made by the company
when Salome will begin to look real
homelike and civilized.
Desiring to inaugurate a thorough
system of account keeping with vouch-
er records, etc, Mr.. Pratt recently had
the books of the company audited by
J. G. c. Rothfus of Pittsburg, repre-
Arizona republican., 1905-09-09

sentative of the John c. Moore audit
ing company Mr.. Rothfus went over
the records thoroughly. found every
thing correct and established an up to
date system. Mr. Pratt says that this was
very gratifying to him, especially in
view of the fact that certain enemies
of Mr.. Hall had taken occasion TO say
unwarranted things about him which
he of course never believed or he would
not nave associated himself with him
IN business. A further result of this
auditing was to get line on the growth
of the business. Taking the business
of last January as a basis of 100 per
cent the increase in volume had been
as follows: February 1874 per cent,
March 307 per cent, April lowing to
rains) only PAP per cent, May 659 per
cent. June 1885 per cent, July 1888 per
cent, and the first twenty-five days of
August up to the time of auditing, 1865
per cent.
In respect Of desert towns, while Sa-
lone seems to have the start and has
more conveniences than any other, due
to greater investment of capital, that
whole section along the Arizona & CAL
ifornia is a vast undeveloped field Of
wealth. The town of Winden tnis side
of Salome is making a good start and
deserves success as its promoters are
spending their money freely in trying
to do something both for themselves
and for those who shall find oppor-
tunity there for earning a livelihood. A
sampling works is one of the enter
prises and there are other lines of en-
deavor all looking to the development
Of the country. And capital these days
looks through larger glasses than in
days of old. All investors realize that
for them to make money others must
make money. What the towns of Sa-
lone and Winden want, in fact what
all Arizona wants, is the development
of all that vast territory along the A.
& c. from Wickenburg to the Colorado
river. There is room enough for u
dozen good towns and natural resources
enough to support them when they are
utilized and developed by capital.

ONE MORE IN CABINET.

1t is understood that President
Roosevelt in his message at the open
ing of congress viii urge that body TO
create the department of mines, with
its head a member of the cabinet a
bill for that purpose is to be intro
duced the first day of the session.
Only four persOns-the heads of the
state, treasury and war departments,
and the attorney general-sat down a
President Washington's council table.
A secretary of the navy came in John
Adams time. The postmaster-gener
was advanced to the cabinet grade in
JackSOn's days, and a secretary of the
interior came in Taylor's presidency.
Those seven officials constituted the

Forly.Eight Negroes Killed In Wreck.

Norfolk, Va, August 17.-Owing
to the inability of Engineer d. l..
Reig to control his air brakes, an ex-
cursion train from Kingston, N. c.,
bound to this city, plunged through
an open draw in bridge over the
western branch of the Elizabeth
river at Bruce station, eight miles
from here, this afternoon, and SO
persons (4S negroes and 2 whites)
were drowned. UP to late hour
tonight only 7 bodies had been re-
covered from the wreckage. The
list of injured numbers 100; none
fatally. The cursion managers,
both white, were drowned. The
train was composed of an engine and
six coaches. The engine and two
cars went through the draw, leaving
four cars on the track. One car was
completely, the other partly, sub
merged, Nothing is visible of the
locomotive. 1t is believed every oc.
cupant of the first car perished. The
dead can be gotten out only by div
ing under the car. The scene fol-
10 wing the wreck was one of inde-
scribable horror, with the shrieking
Of men, women and children, who
were drowing, struggling out of the
partly submerged coach and floating
in the river. The engineer and fire.
man escaped by jumping.

A Word OF Advics.

Some years ago when there was a
disposition among some of our poll
ticians to discard the Democratic
party and align themselves with the
Republicans we gave some good ad-
vice and saved some of them from
political death.
The time has come again for us to
give word of warning and advice.
If you have political ambition and a
patriotic desire to serve your country
and be of some use in your day and
generation don't be in hurry to mix
up with the crowd that is now max
ing war on the dispensary. Their
vociferation is more than their
strength. They can't run successful
politics in such way. The noise
they have been making has served to
arouse the friends of sobriety, or in
other words those who believe in the
regulated sale of whiskey instead of
blind tigers and they will rout the
combination in short order.
1t is good political rule never to
do anything to-day that can be put
off until tomorrow, for something
may happen in the meantime. In
this case those who jumped at the
conclusion that the dispensary was
gone after Cherokee and Pickens
voted as they did, lave found that
they moved too soon. Something
has turned up and great change has
come over the people who will sustain
the dispensary system. The young
man who casts his fortunes with the
combination of blind tigers, moon
sinners and disappointed politicians
digs his own grave. Such an alliance
cannot last long, for the interests of
the different elements making it up
are not the same. The blind tiger
wants to sell whiskey, the moonshiner
wishes to make it and the politician
is actuated by spirit of revenge for
his retirement.
Another factor in the movement
against the dispensary is pulpit poll
tics. The question has been dragged
into the church and the test now is
not your belief in any Christian doc
trine, but how do you stand on the
dispensary.
The politician who joins in the hue
and cry against the dispensary now
invites his own destruction. If you
have any expectations our advice is
to avoid that combination. GA pru-
dent man forseeth the evil" etc.

Allow the Law TO Take its Course.

We have proof of the wisdom Of
allo wing the law TO take its course
in the case of the Kershaw county
negro, Aaron Williams. After es-
Gaping the fury of mob bent on his
death, he was tried and sentenced to
the gallows. He was too poor to
employ a lawyer, but the attorney
appointed by the court to defend
him made brave fight. After his
conviction, some facts were brought
to light which led number of repu-
table citizens to doubt his guilt.
Lawyers were employed who secured
a new trial for him.. When the case
was called few days ago, his al.
legged victim refused to appear and
testify. His lawyers demanded a
trial, but the State was unable to
proceed with the prosecution, hence
the negro has been set at liberty on
his own recognizance. The authori-
ties are pretty sure now of his inno-
cence. Only short time ago an in
nocent negro in Sumter came very
near being lynched for crime for
which another has since been found
guilty. Give us speedy trials in all
such cases, but do not, under any
circumstances, let an innocent one
suffer.-Greenville Mountainner.

Startling Dispensary Statistics.

Startling dispensary statistics, which
are believed to have never been pub
lished. have beon carefully compiled by
Rev. l.. NJ. Rice, of the First Baptist
church of Union.
These statistics show: That the
amount of liquor sold in the entira State
increased from 1915, l34. 20 in 1896, to the
enormous sum of S2,3l6, ,242.5S in 1904 !;
that the total expenses have jumped
from S17S,747 .66 in 1894 to $4sS, ,253 63 in
1904; and that the profits have changed
from S254,344.07 in 1897 to S126,266 in
1908. showing that the profits on an in
vested million are less than the half mil
1899, or, in other words, that as the
assets have increased, the profits have
decreased. Tie seizures prove that
there is marked activity some years
and in other years slack enforcement
in the matter of apprehending dealers in
illicit liquor; it is demonstrated that
there was profit in 1897 of $22 ,937.3l, +,
while the capital stock that same year
was S73, 3,067.l7, and in 1904 the profits
were only 1926, ,26G when the stock was
100000 and the assets about 81 600, ,OOO
The amount due on liquor at the end of
the year 1904 was S43,Sl5.26, and in 1904
S510, 72l.2S. The sales at the county dis
pensaries have increased 5rom $l06, ,72l. .2S
in 1895 to $5l2, ,2l6.36 in 1908. The cost
of the famous Palmetto constabulary has
risen from $40, ,900.43 in 1897 to $66.412. IL
in 1904. The receipts paid by local dis
pensaries have grown from ST. 17,sO3.W .W
in 1897 to $2,924,300 in 1904. The SCR
mons in figures tell the story of South
Cardinals deal in whiskey.
