Two Houses Destroyed


Last Wednesday morning be-
tween the hours OF one and two
the residents of the village were
awakened from their slumbers by
an alarm Of fire. The streets were
soon the scene OF hustling activity
and the two hose carts were taken
from their sheds to the place OF the
fire, which proved to be the Dill
houses on the north side of town.
The fire was we'll under way before
it was discovered and as the build
ings or their contents could not be
saved the work of the fire compan-
les was directed to saving OF adj
joining buildings that had been
scorched by the flames. These
buildings were drenched with wat
er and the main fire was extin-
guished in a remarkably short
time.
As the houses were unoccupied
the starting of the fire seems to be
mystery. The loss will probably
reach $1,000 with no insurance.
Another alarm wac sounded yes
terday morning shortly after day
light when the woodshed of the p.
H. Hughes property was discover
ed to be on fire. The hose had to
be taken from both carts and con-
nected in to one, thus greatly re-
tarding the work of the companies.
but as the fire was confined to the
one building with little danger OF /
spreading, water was on the build
ing in plenty of time. to- prevent +
serious damage. J. D. Murphy, +
who is occupying the Hughes prop
erty is at a loss to- know the origin
Of the confiagration. The loss is
not estimated at overS100.

ARE TO BUILD "COAL-TO-COP-
PER" ROAD.
Lantry-Sharpe Reputed to Be Contractor
for Road into Southern Arizona.

1t is stated in the Albuquerque
Journal that the Lantry- Sharpe Con-
struction company has been the suc-
cessful bidder for the first contract
let by the Southern Pacific company
for the railroad surveyed from the
coal fields of Durango, Colo, south
through New Mexico and Arizona, to
the big copper camps in the southern
part of the latter territory. The
successful bidders name will be an
nounced the first of August, but it
may be stated positively that the
Lantry-Sharpe people have landed
the job.
The contract calls for three or four
hundred miles of railroad, which is
to be completed in three or four
years. The new line, about which
much has been published in the news
papers for many months past, will be
of very great Importance to New
Mexico. 1t will come down through
the San Juan country, cross the
Santa Fe coast lines near or at Gal
lup and continue in a southwesterly
direction to Clifton and Morenci.
When completed it will furnish the
smelters in southern Arizona an in
exhaustible supply of coal in place
of that which is at present hauled at
great expense from Colorado, Mis-
souri, and Pennsylvania.
Work on the line will be COM
menced at once and Hartman is 60
ing to push it as fast as track can be
laid. There has been a fast and
furious fight with the Gould system
which is extending the Denver and
Rio Grande southwark to get to the
copper camps first.
'Those Durango coal fields appear
to be absolutely inexhaustible,' said
railroad man who was in Albu-
querque last week. 81 used to be up
around Mancos and for miles and
miles in that section you can see
great ledges of coal cropping out of
the surface of the ground, some of
them eight and ten feet in thick
ness. There is coal enough there to
supply all the smelters in Arizona

NATIONAL
Important Suit in Mining Tax Law.

A mining tax suit of much import
ance was recently settled at Nogales.
The case, which was brought
against the Worlds Fair Mining
company for taxes alleged to be due
by Sheriff Fowler, who is ex officio
tax collector, resulted in an applica-
tion for injunction against the sher-
if to restrain him from selling the
property of the Worlds Fair COM
pany. The injunction was granted
and the hearing of the motion to
dissolve came up before Judge Doan
at Nogales last week, which an
agreement was reached between the
parties to the suit whereby Frank
Powers, owner of the mine, did not
object to the payment of the taxes
for which suit had been brought, but
entered into an agreement with the
other side that will enable him to
have some time in which to get the
required amount of taxes.
Considerable interest attached to
the outcome of the suit to dissolve
the injunction granted restraining
Sheriff Charles Fowler from collect
ing taxes on the Worlds Fair mine,
which is unpatented. This mine is
one of the best properties in Santa
Cruz county.
In May of this year Sheriff Fowler,
in his capacity as assessor of Santa
Cruz county, placed a valuation of
100000 on the Worlds Fair mine.
The owner refused to pay the taxes
amounting to S11,S5O, and Sheriff
Fowler seized the property under the
usual statutory proceedings for the
non-payment of taxes.
Powers then instituted injunction
proceedings to restrain Sheriff Fow-
Ter from collecting the taxes. A
temporary injunction was granted
and now the territory is seeking to
have the snjunction dissolved so
that the taxes may be collected.
The agreement entered into be-
tween the officials of the territory
and Powers indicates that Powers
does not dispute the right of the
territory to the collection of the
taxes assessed against him, but
rather objects to the summary man
ner of making collection of the
taxes by forced sale.
This result will have much to do
toward influencing the rest of the
mining companies who have similar
suits pending. 1t is taken as an in
dication that mine owners think it
best to accede to the demands of the
territory and to accept the ruling of
the attorney general.
If unpatented but producing mines
of the territory are added to the tax
list, it is estimated that it will be
increased at least 81 100000.

ARIZONA WILL KILL
JOINT STATEHOOD SURELY
Republican National Committeeman
StureeS Says 1t Is So.

Col. w. S. Sturges, national COM
mitteeman from Arizona, and al
most lifetime friend of Arizona,
was recently interviewed as follows:
"You may say that am unaltera-
bly, opposed to joint statehood with
New Mexico," said Col. Sturges in
reply to a question. ''For twenty-six
long years 1 have fought for state
hood for Arizona, but L do not want
it in this form. We should have
separate statehood and I believe we
will get it. There is not the slight
est doubt about the result in Arizona
as the election in that territory will
show a big majority against jointure.
II spent several months in Wash
ington last fall and winter working
for separate vote on the statehood
question and now that it has been
decided upon we will show the world
beyond any doubt that Arizona wants
statehood only when she may be ad-
mitted alone''

Ostrich Trust Secures More Valuable
Birds in Arizona.

Between $4,000 and S5O,OOo will
change hands between A. J. Chan
dler and Pickrell brothers for the
purchase of one hundred ostriches
within the next few days at Phoenix.
That Chandler's purchase is the
forerunner of future purchases which
will bring the ownership of all the
ostriches in the Salt river valley un-
der one company is persistently
rumored at the capitol city.
Associated with Chandler in the
deal is D. M. Ferry, of Buffalo, who
owns the gigantic seed house that
bears his name. L. Ferry's interest
in Arizona already includes a large
amount of stock in the Santa Fe,
Prescott q Phoenix road, as we'll as
part ownership in several big mines
that are controlled and operated by
the Development Company of
America.
Chandler is preparing to take care
of the birds on his ranch near Mesa,
where he has 10000 acres, a large
part of which will be devoted to the
cultivation and care of the birds.
Large pens will be built and every
facility offered for the successful
raising of ostriches and profit-mak-
ing from their valuable plumes.

MiIIay has Good Plan for Prison.

To save Arizona thousands of dol
lars every year in the care of for
eigners in the territorial prison at
Yuma, Superintendent Jerry Millay
is preparing in his next report to
suggest that all Mexicans in the
prison, who are not residents of this
territory, be deported.
"Two-thirds of the inmates of the
prison. says Superintendent Malay,
"are Mexicans, and over one-half of
them are not residents of Arizona.
They come across the border from
Sonora, live here a short time, COM
NIT some crime, and become expen-
sive burdens on the territory.
"We can deport these residents of
Mexico and force them back into
their own country. 1t will save Ari-
zona thousands of dollars annually
and we will be well rid of them.
Many are wanted in their own coun-
try for some crime committed there,
and the probability of their returning
is small.''
Millay's plan is said to have been
suggested to the other officials of the
territory, who look upon it with much
favor. The saving it would mean to
Arizona taxpayers makes it matter
of general interest and impor tance.
The copper era., 1906-08-02
May Sell Power From Tonto Dam.

Negotiations which have been on
for some time between the Pacific
Gas & Electric company and Secre-
tary Hitchcock, may terminate
shortly in the signing of a contract
that will sell 1000 or 5000 electric
horse power to the local company,
to be furnished from the Tonic basin
dam, says the Phoenix Enterprise.
While Engineer L. G. Hill was in
the city few days ago the matter
was again up between local officials
of the Pacific company and Hill, the
result being more correspondence be-
tween him and Secretary of Interior
Hitchcock.
The matter having reached the
point of being passed up to Secretary
Hitchcock, indicates that there is
much likelihood of the deal getting
an abundance of power without the
operation of its own plant.
Between $4,000 and 10000 horse
power will be generated at the Tonto
dam. The first call on this will be
by farmers who desire to install
pumping plants. The remainder will
probably be disposed of by the
government to individuals and COM
panies.
In addition to the power that will
be used for pumping and in Phoenix,
Tempe, Mesa, and other valley towns,
the Cave creek district and Ran
dolph's big iron deposit are two sec
tions that will probably require d
large amount of power within the
next few years.
Transmission lines will be built to
these two and other accessible dis
tricts in which power is required for
the operation of mills and factories.
Dam officials are of the opinion
that the large amount of excess
electric power generated will be
the means of bringing many indus
tries to the valley.
