Captain Edwin ]. Louis, Louis Under
writer's Agency

Since the San Francisco disaster there
has been a great deal of controversy con-
cerning the payment of insurance claims,
and many people have predicted that the
majority of the insurance companies
would either refuse to pay-in other words
go into bankruptcy-or would pay pro
rata ON adjusted claims. Much of this
frenzied talk has been proven to be the
idle gossip of ignorant people, as the old
line companies are paying just claims
as soon as they can be proven. People,
some of them at least do not seem to
realize that tremendous amount of work
must be completed before a matter of
such magnitude as the adjustment of fire
claims reaching a sum of many millions
can be settled. There are two sides to the
question and we should allow. a reason
able lapse of time before censuring the
insurance companies 1t is a fact that
many San Francisco people are making
unjust claims, and these dishonest ones,
of course, only make the work iof the
adjusters harder, and the innocent ones
are compelled to wait.

What Caused the Explosion?

It is generally conceded, even by those who tamper with it, that whisky is about as dangerous as dynamite, but we believe an empty whisky barrel has never been considered unsafe to fool with. It has renamed for Yuma to turn out one, however, that evidently still retained something of the evil of the goods it originally contained. Porter Moffatt, the blacksmith, made the discovery last Friday afternoon.
 Wilh 6 red-hot iron he was enlarging the hole in a buggy hub, the latter resting on the head of an empty whisky barrel In the operation the hot iron pierced the barrel head and a terrific explosion followed tearing out the head of the barrel anu severely injur- inr the blacksmith, who was rendered unconscious. He received cut on either arm, and one on the body that required a number of stitches to close. His injuries were not serious, as he was at work within day or two after the accident. What caused the explo- sion is mystery, as there were already two holes in the bottom head and tive
 in the top, so the air was not confined

Consolidated Copper Conipahies:

The organization of three-million- dollar corporation and the taking over of the three copper companies operat- ing in the La Posa mining district, Ca beza Prieta Mountains, was an event ot great importance to Yuma.
 The new company, which is incorpo- rated under the Arizona laws, has ab- sorbed the Hecla Mining Company, California-Arizona Copper Company. and the Mohawk Copper Company un- der the same management.
 The merger is planned to secure greater economy in the mining, sam- bling and reduction of the ores, also to avoid the necessity Of an expensive sys- tenn of accounting, and Of sampling and adjusting differences of values of the ores of the several companies.
 The logical solution of the ore reduc- tion problem. and the one that has been agreed upon, is the erection of cen trallv located plant equally distant from each property. and it can be read ilv seen that three individual and dls- tinct companies reducing their ores m individual plants would be at much greater expense to each, to say ncth- inc of the complications naturally aris- ing. all of which the merger will over- come.
 Then. too, all the properties are so dependent upon their neighbors that should the controlling interest of any one become unfriendly tQ that of the others. it would be a matter of very serious concern to the stockholders.
 The new company is to be known as The Hecla Consolidated Mines Compa- nv. with q capital stock of 300,0GG shares of d par valne Of ten dollars per share. Fifty thousand shares will be placed in the treasury of the company and the remaining 250, ,OO0 shares divjd. ed pro rata among the stockholders o' the old companies, at the ratio Of ono share of new stock for six shares II either of the present companies.
 Twenty thousand shares of the treas urv stock of the consolidated company will be sold for the purpose of erecting the reduction plant; 10000 of thes' have already been underwrltten a S2. 50 per share net to the company.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ON
 STATEHOOD.

FoIIowin" is an abstract of letter written by President Roosevelt to Dr. NJ. A. Rogers, secretary of the Arizona Statehood Association:
 The White House, Washington, June 2F l9O6.-It is my earnest hope that the people of the Territory of AriZ9na in their wisdom will decide to enter the Union as part of the great State of Arizoua No man can foreteH what will happen in future; but it is nay be- lief that if the people of Arizona let this chance go by they will have to wait very many years before the chance aqain offers itself, and even then 1t wllf very probably be only upon the present terms-that is upon the condition or beinr joined with New Mexico. If the people of Arizona come in now they will achieve what every self-respectlng American ought to wish to achieve; that is, the right of self-government. If they refuse what is proifered them and what, in Thy opinion, is protfered upon the only proper and permissible terms-they condemn themselves to an indefinite continuance of condition o1 tutelage..
 I have d peculiar affection 10" the neople of the four TerritoriCS which under the act of Congress have just Esigned, now have the opportunity t' enter as two States into our Federal Union.

C. D. Officials Visit Intake.
EEs.s 2

pr. w. T. HeferEan, accompanied by Chief Engineer ROckwood of the c. D. Company, J. H. Long, an $. P. civil engineer. and V. R. Sterling, an casts ern wire manufacturer, arrived Tn Yuma Sunday night and on Monday made a trip to the Mexican intake of the Imperial canal, returning to Yuma the same day. The party had under consideration preliminary plans for building spur from the main line to Fl Rio to point near the intake for the purpose of transporting piling and other material. The intention IS to drive pilng, levee and rip-rap along the ricer for several miles, this being part of the general plans for closing rado into it5>old channel. Dr. Heffer- nan said that the reports Of the deep cutting of the intake have been very much exaggerated; that at the mouth the depth is only twelve feet, whereas it has been reported as high as twenty. All of the officials agree that, although a costly undertaking, the closing Of the break is assured beyong any reasona- ble doubt. They found conditions much more favorable to this end than they expected, The track will be built at once. and as the river is falling last, actual work toward closing the break will begin as soon as material can be placed.
 Dr. Heffernan, who dislocated one o1 his ankles last January, is still quite lame, but there is now no doubt of hl'
 permanent recovery.
 Dr. Heifernan is heavy stockholdel

YUMA'S GLORIOUS 4th.
Greatest Celebration in the History Of flle Town.

Yuma's Fourth of July celebration for the year of our Lord, 1906, may be set down as the biggest and best in all it's history. The day was hot, but the caIorific rays Of old Sol seemed only to strengthen the patriotic enthusiasm, which was everywhere in evidence.
 Of course the crackety- bang of the nerve-racking Gre-cracker held the boards and carried off first prize for continuous and perpetual noise, but there were other noiseS-In fact the lid was off the noise can. But then what would a 4th of July celc bration amount to without Noise. It's all right, but lots of folks are glad it doesn't come but once year.
 The celebration began at 9 o'clock with literary exercises at the public school building. There, in the blazing sun, the published programme was car ried out.
 Prof. Mcclure delivered an historical address. briefly recounting the early struggles of the colonies, and events leading up to the Declaration of lnde- pendence." of the formation of the new republic and it's great and wonderful developmen: until now, when 1t stands without peer among the natlOrS oi the earth. The address was spirited and did justice to the time and occasion, and the same may be said of all that followed-=the reading of the immortal document by Rev. Ochiltree, and ora tion of the day by Hon. w. F. TimmonS, the sweet singing of the children, the patriotic music of the band-all con tributed to the inspiring theme anc occasion.
 The parade and the ball game filled in the rest Of the forenoon and both at tracted and interested several thousand people. The ball game was between the Colts and Surveyors. The score 7 WAS 8 to , in favor of the Colts.
