| forced visit at the desert city in a very
| good humored way and that Mr.. Ed
! wards treated people very nicely Willie
there Mr. and Mrs Cain and family

| EVERYBODY PLEASED-Congrat-
ulations continue to pour in upon
Judge Kibbey on his appointment to
the office Of governor and approval of
the choice of the president continues
to grow and multiply. A representa-
tive of The Republican who spent Sat
urday in Prescott, said that on all
Hides there the greatest satisfaction
was expressed by thc people of all par
| ties and all interests The same senti-
ment is said to prevail in all the towns
of the territory. 1t is frequently said
that no previous appointment to the
chief Office of the territory had ever
met with such general satisfaction.
LOTS OF WEATHER-A week ago
there was published in these columns a
story setting forth something of the
capacity of the big Roosevelt reservoir
and explaining that it would take
some time to fill it even with the max
imum flow during the late flood It
was not intended to infer, however,
that it would never be filled because
the river never stays high very long
at time. On the contrary two little
rivers are as big as one big one. or in
other words, to the estimate made at
that time should be added a week or
more of steady flow that has occurred
since then. the river ut all times being
beyond the fording point and being
that way yet
IN THE FIELD AGAIN-Dick New
ton returned last night from George
Sears ranch on the Verde. His visit
there was cut short by about two
weeks by the rain, flood and snow
which have been prevailing in that part
of the country almost ever since he4
started on his outing Not long after
his departure a Phoenix newspaper
contained a statement that Mr.. New |
ton had returned to his home in Phil
adelphia. Later it was announced
that he had gone back to marry a lady
to whom he had been engaged for sew /
eral years. As a matter of fact. Mr. |
Newton is still fancy free and heart
whole. He is not going to marry a !
Philadelphia lady and he is not going
to Philadelphia. He is going to remain |
in the running in Phoenix.
READY FOR NESS-Attorney
\. J. Edwards returned last night from
visit to the east on business connect
ed with the White Mining company. |
He was accompanied by Mrs. Agnew, !
the wife of the president of the COM |
pany- Both stopped at Wickenburg, |
drove out TO the mine and came in last
night on the freight from the north. Mr.. |
Agnew viii arrive in the city in a few
days. Mr.. Edwards said last night all |

purchased and that a part of it had |
been shipped. 1t will be installed and
operating in May. There viii be a /
twenty stamp mill and power with ca
pacity for forty stamps. There will be !
