1905. During that period arrange.
mcnts were made with FIVE states for
cooperation in geologic work. and a
total Of $4,000 was contributed by
those states for that purpose. Arrange
ments for the cooperative Topographic
surveys were also made with eleven
states, the amount available for such
surveys being thus increased by more
than 100000.

will he published on the scale Of
l:2i,000, with "A contour interval Of 80
feet.
In order to bring the lovsling Of
the geological survey TO u higher stan
dard Of accuracy, II was decided IN
the fall Of 1904 to adopt the coast and
eeodotic survey methods and ins,ru
ments for the most mportant lines of
levels. With this purpose in view, a
precise level outfit was purchased. In,
GLIDING two velocipcde cars for nse
along the Southern Pacific railroad

first level from Yuma TO Tucson.
In all, the geological survey mapped

BADLY BEATEN.
City Engineer Glass Assaulted BY Ex
City Employe.
(From Fridays Da,iy.)


Yesterday afternoon about O'Clock,
while in the Offices Of the Prescott
Electric company, City Engineer Glass
was assaulted by discharged en-
ploye Of the city, and badly beaten.
The alteration created quite a sen
sation among the young lady opcrat-
ors In the adjoining office on account
Of the absence of all the male en-.
ploycs from the building. Several
telephones were rang calling for help
from ncighboring Offices, but no one
could bc found until the arrival of Ben
Delanty. who Glanced TO arrive nj the
time that the row was Mt it's height, and
about the time that the city engineer
had almost succumbcd from the loss of
wind and blood from the wounds made
by the heavy blows rnincd upon his
frail form by his more robust antag
onist. Mr. Delanty stopped the fracas
promptly, and took care of the wound
cd man. and later had him taken 10
him home. The name Of the other
combatant was not learned nor was
the exact cause Of the alteration.

that steve Adams. who was arrested at
Haincs. Oregon. on Feb 90, in connec'
ton with the Steucnbcrg assassination,

sion. This second confession is far
more important than that Of Harry
Orchard. This IL the statement made
last evening by James Mcfarland. the
detective. in the presence Of Governor
Goodng and j. II. Ilawley, who has
charge Of the prosecution. Mcfarland
added that Adams confession fully and
exactly corroboratcd that made by Or
chard e, every point touched by both.
Moreover Mcfarland continued,
Adams knows far more of the work
ings of the elmer circle" than Or
chard did, and was able 10 give n mass
of detailed information that Orchard Is
confession did not cover. Adams, how
ever. was not NJ Caldwell Mt the time
of the assassination Of Stcuenbcrg nor
was Orchard there M the time of the
unsuccessful effort in November. The
man who assisted Orchard on the lat
ter occasion M set forth in the Orchard
confession was Jack Simpkins.
Still another statement made by the
detective was that Adams confession
gives the details Of n large number OF
murders not referred To in any manner
| 10y Orchard He further stated that
the latest confession was reduced Il
writing, signed and acknowledged
II is voluminous DOCUMENT, covering
greater field and in more detail than
that of Orchard.

Adams made this confession without
the promise of anything. lie simply
made n clean breast of all he knew OF
this ease and of the secret workings OF
the Western Federation.
| II was announced by the governor
Attorney Hawley and Detective Me
Parland that while they thought these
facts should be given 10 the public
there could bc no further information

Quite rapidly a schedule of rates for

ing shape in the minds of owners of
and investors in San Francisco realty.
\ There has been much wild talk-eVen
to the extent that 1t is not unneces-
sary to remind some people that there
is no boom" in landed property. Some
localities have advantaged by tempo
rary conditions. but they are the ex-
ceptions AS rule they will benefit
permanently by the artificial conditions

extent. Gradually trade will return To
it's normal conditions, and these must
be considered for future not far dis

1t would be ideal that the rebuilding
of San Francisco should begin at the
foot of Market street, continue out that
main thoroughfare and then radiate
to it's tributaries and transverse and
parallel streets. And this ideal recon-
struction would appear to be indicated
as probable in realization from the
fact all during the day the ferries are
bringing thousands of people to the
city from the neighboring cities and
towns across the bay. 1t is steady
transient trade which business men
will be anxious to secure, and as those
nearest the source of arrivals will have
the best chance of obtaining their cus-

that lower Market street presents one
OF the best opportunities for the in
