There IS q choice Of five hotels along
the rim Of the canyon, stretching DIS
lance Of sixty miles or so and covering
the grande5t part Of the scenery All
Of them NAV be reached from the rail-
rad by stages, which meet every train,
and while there is no style or ostenta-
tion, there is plenty Of comfort. The
beds are good, the food plain but pienti-
ful, and YOU can get bath for dollar,
which means a great deal where water

is used for cooking, drinking and bath
inc is brought in steel tanks distance
of 1871 miles from Mountain Springs,
near the city Of Prescott. 1t is trans
ported in steel tanks made expressly
for the purpose, holding 9,400 gallons
each. There is a train every day, oper-
ated bv four men sWh0 do nothing else.
Upon arrival the water is distilled, fill
tered. aerated and distributed by pres

canyon about four miles, from which a
sufficient supply might pe pumped, but
it is on a mining claim held by man
who wants the modest sum Of S50, ,000f for
it. Nevertheless, there are forty bath
rooms in EI Tovar and the regular rate

The supply of drinking water for the
Grand View Hotel is brought from Cot
tonwood Springs, three and one-half
miles down the canyon, $500 feet below
the hotel. 1t is transported in casks OF
ten gallons, made to fit the backs OF
burros, two casks to each burro. 1t is
pure, cool hard water. The water for
bathing, cooking and laundry purposes
at the Grand View is caught on the roof
during the occasional rains and stored
in cisterns. Last season was dry, and
the supply gave out, SO that every drop
of water that was used for three months
was brought up from the Cottonwood
Springs. There is no water on the sur.
face Of the earth within ninety miles Of
the hotel, which accounts for the high

The fever situation at New Orleans
remains practically unchanged, save for
the mortality rate, which is falling
lower from day to day. But this does
not necessarily signify the fever will
not be stamped out by the government
authorities now in active charge; for it
is already a recognised fact that, due to
the effects OF sanitation. precautionary
methods employed and to the knowledge e
evolved from modern science, the prog
ress of the fever is held in aheyance,
DR.. White, at the head OF the executive
department. al the federal corps, is
quoted by the New ORLEANS press pc
saying that the plague can be effectu-
ally stamped out in forty days if every
new case is promptly reported. DIR.
Guiteras, yellow fever expert, shares in
the same opinion. The situation in
New Orleans is not alarming, and, with
death rate so low as to drive all terror
from the mere thought of yellow fever,
we are encouraged by the assurance
given in the opinions expressed by those
who know that the visitation this time
will nat be- limited by meteorological
conditions, but checked by the master
hand of new science.

SOME YELLOW FEVER HISTORY.
History and Statistics Of the Last and
Present Visitation Of Fever ID
New Orleans Furnished by
q correspondent.

Physicians in New Orleans who are
working to suppress the fever are daily
making comparisons with the mortality
statistics of the epidemics OF 1878 and
1897. Up to the present time they are
well pleased with the showing, although
the records show that the number OF
cases now is almost double the figure for
the same period in the epidemic of 1878,
which was the worst in the history of
the city. The death rate, however, is
only half what it was in that year, show
ing that the modern methods of hand
ling the disease are much superior to
those formerly used and that, unless
complications arise, yellow fever is no
more dangerous than typhoid and other
diseases of like nature.
The figures of 1897 have 80 far been
OF little value for comparison, as the
fever did not break out until August 6,
in that year, and was not reported until
the middle OF September. There were
1897 cases and 2S1 deaths in 1897, Civ
ing death rate of little over 15 per
cent.
DEATH RATE LOWER.
In 1878 the fever was discovered in
July almost as soon as it broke out. On
August IL of that year thirty-one cases
were reported, making total to that
date OF $40. The deaths for the day
were twelve, making total of 152. The
fever was not stamped out until Nov. q,
when frost came, when there had bee n
1887 cases and 3,9S4 deaths, giving
death rate of about % t-2 per cent.
The fever this year is supposed to
have been in New Orleans since the lat
ter part of May, and was not discovered
until July Is, thus gaining two months
start, which accounts for the large num-
Der of cases developed up to the present
time. Up to Sunday night there had
been 922 cases reported End f47 deaths,
giving death rate of trifie over 15 per
cent. This rate would have been much
lower had not the disease been largely
confined to the very lowest classes OF
Italians, who kept the disease secret un-
til the eases were beyond hope. Now
that the Marine Hospital physicians are
in charge the death ratio is decreasing
daily, as they are digging up all the
new cases as rapidly as they develop.

Considering the extra expense of
maintaining hotel under such circum-
stances, the rates are very reasonable
and are less than those charged at the
ordinary hotels at eastern watering
places, while the accommodations will av-
erage a great deal better. You can get
good, plain, neat quarters, with excel
lent meals, at the cheaper hotels for 81
a day, and better accommodations at
the new hotel for any amount you want
to pay. The minimum is $3.50 per day.
There are accommodations at Ell TOvar
for about 80 people for 81, $3.50 and S5
a day. Those who desire the less ex-
pensive quarters can get room at the
Bright Angel Hotel for - cents a day
and upward and live on the European
plan at prices lower than are charged at
the ordinary Chicago or Washington
restaurants. WIN. E. CURTIS.

A WORD OF EXPLANATION.

The Echo, always willing for fair
play, accepts the. following "word of
explanation" from the Gulfport Record.
and not only appreciates the privilege
of publishing correct version of mat
ter of some import and seriousness, but
gladly learns the report was erroneous
that was first sent out from Gulfport.
The wildcat dispatch sent to the Mo bile
Register seems to haye caused much
trouble, and we are glad to see the Reg
lister reproduce the Records correction,
which follows:
"Perhaps 1T would be we'll to inform
the Bay st. Louis Sea Coast Echo that
it Is mistaken regarding Gulfport's early
actions following the announcement of
yellow fever in New Orleans. At no
time did Gulfport SAY that it would not
quarantine against New Orleans, as
The Echo seems to think it did. True,
there was wildcat dispatch sent to
Mobile, saying that Gulfport would not
quarantine against New Orleans under
any eiroumstances.-a dispatch which
preceded the official announcement of
yellow fever in New Orleans and whose
authorship has not been disclosed to
this good day,-but we never supposed
| that it would be taken seriously or as
reffecting the sentiment of the people of
Gulfport or any of it's official bodies.
Following the publication of the afore-
said dispatch in the Mobile Register,
however, the Council very sensibly met,
and not only repudiated, it, but promptly
wired the State Board of Health its will
lingness to assist in the enforcement of
the quarantine. There was nothing else
for the City Council to do, II it wished
10 save Gulfport from being bottled up.
We assure our esteemed contemporary
| that me Council acted upon its own
good sense and initiative"

BOB MONTGOMERY
OFFERED 100000
pt,c Lucky DiscOverer OF the
Great NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Man Sell His Interest at
That Figure.
fhe STORY comes from Beatty tha.

Fhe story comes from Beatty that
E A. Bob" Montgomery has been
offered $1,000 600 for his interes-
est in the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Mining Company's property by his
mariners, Malcolm Macdonald and
+. d. Conner, who bought the inter
est formerly held by Thomas Ed
wards, and it is believed that Mont
eomery will accept the offer that
has been made him AS to the
property itself there is no doubt,
but that it contains great wealth.
However, il is said that only a few
months ago Bob" Montgomery was
greatly discouraged and that when
he failed to get a loan Of $4,000 with
which to develop his property he
was on the verge Of giving It mp and
trying his luck in some other coun-
Try But now, with $1,O00,000 in
sight, he IS on deck again.
"Since ! was fifteen FEARS old,
remarked Mr.. Montgomery the other
day. in conversation with some
friends, Il have been dreaming Of
this fortune, and now that ! have
it ! do not think there is any living
man that viii ever get it away from
me" Al the close of his short talk
# is said that his eyes filled with
tears Of joy. The tunnel in which
the ore was encountered has been
run in a distance of something like
150 feet and about o%ne-third Of il
is in ore. Thirty five feet of drift
ing has been done and in the latter
workings the rich ore has been en-.
countered.
