under the Arizona alone would be a very light one and the payment would be made through a period of ten years at not more than fifty cents an acre. There has been a lingering hope that l the holders of the minority interests might be brought to sacrifice for a nominal sum their holdings for the good of the cause. But that is an un- reasonable hope for most of the minor ity stockholders are users of water un- der the MaricOpa and Salt River canals which are more advantageously situat- ed with reference to water.
 Either the plan of buying the min ority interests or the plan of construct ing the cut off. if carried out would re- suit in the securing of water for the coming season, but the former must commend itself as the more permanent one and the one in line with and a part of the program for the future The latter could not be so considered. It would be only temporary and things might turn out so that the S2O,OOO in vested would be expended only for wa ter for single crop.
 There may be the objection raised that the water company does not de- serve any considerate treatment from the people of the valley and that ulti- mately It must accept the terms which have been offered it or do worse. That is true but that truth has nothing to do with the immediate need of water Here is an opportunity to get the wa ter company out of the valley and be done with it for ever.
 The Arizona Water company has not earned the gratitude of the people of the Salt River valley to such an ex- tent that they are in the frame of mind to pay it a cent more than they have to pay. They have paid in past years dearly for water which they never re- ceived. The present attitude of the company is the worst of all. Its main purpose is apparently to prey upon the needs of the farmers who had become dependent upon it. It is doing nothing for them in their extremity. it's aim be- ing to let the extremity become the more severe until the government will be driven to their relief by paying the price demanded by the company.
 But this does not alter the need of immediate action. But, though the sum needed to buy the minority interests be thus mulcted of the farmers, what they buy with it will be theirs.
 The taxpayers of Phoenix would gladly take up a part of this burden if they could. If time remained to se- cure the authorization of congress no doubt this city would vote bonds in aid of the movement as it did to aid the construction of the Tonto road.

RELIEF FOR THE WATER USERS
Two Projects to be Submitted to fhe Protective
 Tomorrow
One Of Them Proposes Assessment of Lands Interests
 Minority ShOderSThe Other An Assessment Improve inc Canal

The Republican is prepared to state defin ;tely that there is no possibility within a reasonable time. if ever of an agreement between the government and the Arizona Water company with | reference to the transfer of the north side canals. That matters have reach ed a point beyond which they can go
 no further has been known in Phoe-
 nix for several days, though there has
 been a lingering hope against hope. 1 The history of the negotiations up to ] this sticking point is pretty well known On the recommendation of the board
 of engineers the department submitted 10 the water company an offer of S3O4,-
 900 for it's canals. That offer included
 the minority interests which amount to about $32,000. To this the company replied that it would accept the offer
 for it's own holdings, leaving the gov
 eTnment to deal with the minority
 stock holders. Though this counter
 proposition was submitted sometime
 ago it has met with no response from
 the government and none is expected
 The water company bond holders have
 reached last decision not to accept
 the offer of the government and there the matter stands without the slightest
 hope of advancing any farther by the
 effort of either the government or the water company.
 In the meantime the water users un- der the Arizona canal are casting about for means of relief The Arizona
 Canal Protective association has aI- ready accomplished something in the way of cleaning the head of the canal at a cost of S3,O0O and a meeting of the association is to be held here to- morrow to consider another important project which has been set on foot. That is to build a cut off at the head of the canal to a point farther up where constant supply of 5000 inches of water can be obtained En- gineers are now engaged on estimates on the project and those estimates will be finished in time for submission to the association tomorrow. It is thought that the estimate will be in the neigh borhood Of s20.OO0
 The plan now is to propose to the users under the Arizona canal to sub init to an assessment for the raising of this amount. The assessment per. acre will be about what the users have been paying to the company annually for water. It is un- derstood that the government will lend it's aid to the project to the extent of furnishing an engineer to survey and superintend the work of constructing the cut off

 IN A MINE Iwenty-eight are Known to
 be Dead
An Explosion Which Wrecked the Interior of A West Virginia Coal Mine.

Charleston. w. Va, Feb. S.-At least twenty-eight men are supposed to have met death in a terrible mine ex- plosion in the Parrall mine of the Stewart Galleries company near Oak hill. Tnirty-nine men were employed in the mine and only eleven have es- caped alive. At midnight six bodies had been recovered near the mouth of the mine and it is certain all the others in the mine are dead.
 Among those known to be in the mine and supposed to be dead are: Mine Boss Miles Pratt and his son. White, four negroes, David Wells. Jas Swan Geo. Jones and Wm. Madison and Robert Feathergill.
 The explosion occurred at 1:3O o'clock today and was caused by pocket of gas, which was struck in fault ia the mine. The explosion was terrific and it was thought that many of the miners were killed outright by it. The system Of fans was completely wrecked and all air was shut off. leaving the men to smother to death. The mine is a shaft mine about roc feet deep and the unfortunate miners had little chance of escape
 Most of the entombed men are Hun garians or negroes who had little ex- pel -ence in mining. They were not e<pec tns the pocket of gas which is n~aily always discovered in mine faults in the Kanawha region.
 The mine has capacity of 800 tons rcr day, requiring about sixty miners and Inside men to operate when a full supply of cars are obtainable. The nire was not being operated to it's ful capacity, and in addition some of the miners had come out for the day and Left for their homes.

Paris, Feb. S.-Opinion concerning the progress and final outcome of the Algeciras conference has become rath- CT more pessimistic here in cOnse- quence of semi-official declarations that neither France nor Germany will recede regarding the question of the Moroccan police.
