SACRAMENTO. Cal, Feb. Fired
eric Newell, head of the Federal Recla
nation Service, in an interview today
says the government is very favorable
to $24.000.000 appropriation to re-
claim 1900 900 acres in the Sacramento

agree to cut up their holdings to not
more than 100 acres each, actual work
by the government may commence

THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS.

The voting for the British house OF
commons mas. proceeded SO far that
there are only about dozen scattered
constituencies which have not chosen
their members The assured result
is that the liberal party will have not
far from $40 members, the unionists
and conservatives, $50, and the labor
and Irish nationalist groups about 140
in a ratio of one to two. This as
sures the ministry of Campbell Ban
herman a clear majority of seventy,
should all the other parties vote
against him in a division. OF course
the labor members will vote with MIN.
they being elected as much as ad-
vanced liberals as anything else. This
tremendous majority will tend to make
the house of commons a aotoainoinn
dull as it was after Salisbury wiped
out Gladstones majority and the grand
old man ceased for time to attend the
sessions of the house. seeing no hope
OF securing a dignified following on a
division.
The triumph of the liberal party,
while calmly predicted by its leader,
is so overwhelming as to astonish the
successful candidates as much as X
does the opposition. Every reason pos
sible has been assigned for the revolu-
ton in public sentiment and each of
them falls far short of accounting for
the result All of them taken to-
gether account for it and all of them
together are expressed in an English
political phrase, THE mandate of the
Tory majority had expired" 1t no
longer had the confidence of the coun-
try and when it lost that it lost the
only political asset which amounts to
anything in England.
No one who has followed the course
of the Balfour ministry in recent years
is surprised that the nation repudiated
it. 1t was punished for bringing on
the Boer war, for passing an education
act which compels dissenters to pay
taxes toward schools which teach re-
ligious views which are repudiated by
the parents. for importing Chinese COO
lies into South Africa, for introducing
into English politics the discussion of
protection when Great Britain has for
decades claimed that free trade was
the fixed policy of the empire and not
any longer party question.
Lastly, and not leastly, the Balfour
ministry was rebulled for holding onto
Office for months after it was apparent
under the custom of English politics
it ought to take the sense of the coun-
try This was done by Balfour evil
IDENTIFY in the hope that something
would turn up on which he could hang
winning campaign. At last, instead
of dissolving parliament he went to
the king and resigned, leaving the lib
erals to form a government without Il
house of commons back of them. There
was political finesse in this, since it
was expected that the liberal ministers
would have to announce a program
which could be attacked The attempt
to reverse the position and put the
liberals on the defensive while thew
were in reality the party of opposi-
ton seems to have hurt the tact;-
clans VINO adopted the dodge more
than it did the men who accepted the
situation and formed a government.

British Engineer Points Out Influence

was made in the course of a lecture or

TRANSFER or THE LOOKOUT
 GROUP.
From Tbursday'. Daily.

Through the recording of deeds yes terday in the county recorders office 1t was learned tha, another promising group of mines had been added to the already immense holdings of the De. velopmen' Company of America in this county.
 The mines in question are known ss the Lookout group. situate in the Slate creek district, the gran'or being Mrs. ?. X. BsshforJ, of Lo. Angeles, Cal. The consideration of the transfer was not learned, but it is known to be . large amount.
 The properties are Mtuate on the southern slope of spur of the Sierra Prieta range of mountains overlooking 2 Slate creek, about two miles distant in . southerly direction from the Sen. ator camp, aud about l4 miles soutb of this city.
 Considerable development has been done on the group. which consists of three claims, and there is said to be a large amount of ore, carrying good va. lues iu gold, already blocked ou, in the underground workings.
 It is thought by many that the acqui. sition of these properties by this com. pany. and the starting of work there will, within n short time, lead to the construction of V railroad through the district, which is ope of the richest in the county, and the development of which has been greatly retarded from the lack of transportation facilities.

HEAvIEST RAINFALL IN HISToRY
 or PREscorT.
fFvom Thussdsy's Daily.)


 In the history of this part of the territory, dating back to the days of the early pioneers, who first settled in this city in the early 6O's, no rain. storm ever equalled in fury or down. pour that of yesterday morning, accord. ing to the statement of Dr. Warren F.. Day, weather observer, who has an ac. curate report of all rain and snow falls of Prescott dating back many years.
 "No rainfall for the time it lasted ever equalled this one during the past 35 years in this part of the territory, |" said the doctor. "The storm only last ed about four hours, at the end of which the gauge registered 2.65 inches. These figures are accurate and there is no exaggeraiion in them.'
 A light shower lasting about an hour commenced a short time after l2 o'clock in the early morning. The rain then ceased until about l5 minutes be. fore o'clock, when the real down. pour commenced, continuing until 7;aO. when there WAS n short intermission. The wind blew at lively rate from n little west of south. the rain appearing as succession of sheets of water. as 1t added fury to the rivulets, gutters and streams in all parts of the city.
 All of the principal waterways of the city were clogged and filled with saud, ths water in many places flowing over the streets and lawns, and de. posting layers of sediment.
 Only slight damage was done by the floods in any part of the city. A large amount of sand was washed across the s. r. P. and P. track . shor, distance this side of Iron Springs. causing short delay to the northbound passenger. due here in the morning. but th's wss promptly removed by the section crew before any serious dam. age resulted. A largo amount of sand was wsshed scross the road. and traeks adjoining the plant of the Ari. ,ons ssndstoae Brick company, situ. sfe a short distance west of the city limits. but this WAS easily repaired st nominal expesss later in the day.
 Sand was washed aeross one of the GrAss plots on the east side of the plaza but this was promptly removed after the storm ceased by the plaza ssrdsser ssd his force of veskues.

 Gentlemen: wish to call your at. tention to the mineral exhibit of the territorial fair, and to ask for your cooperation in making 1t an exhibit that will fully represent the mining interests of the entire territory. The fair commission has built n substantial brick building in which this exhibit is kept permanently and where it can af all times be seen and examined by interested parties, thus making it of real and practical value.
 It is desired to have all established mines furnish exhibits, for which space will be allowed and when their sam. pies are received and accepted they will be placed and cared for ia the best possible manner.
 At the first fair satisfactory exhibit was made and this is now in the mininv building, and many of the leading mines are not represented. I wish very much that on receipt of this you would at once take up the matter of seeing that your district and all of the properties in which you are inter. ested furnish ores for a satisfactory exhibit.
 In addition to the ores from the mines, the commission wants ann. p'e' of all building stone, as this win be made one of the feature. of thi, ex. hibit.
 Arrangements have been made with the railroads of the territory for the Tree transportation of miueysls and ores that are to remain as part of th. permanent exhibit, and shipusnts shou'd be consigned to the Arizona Territorial Fair commission, Phoenix.
