|P DIAMOND LADEN COL. EGAN HERE KIRK WANTS Il
w. c, Kennedy Walks. About Street Carrying $78,000
 Worth of Gems.
CAN BE HELD EASILY
 IN PALM OF HAND.
Are Black Diamonds, Kind
 Used in Diamond Drills, Says He Can Hide Them in Room and DefieS Location,

With s1S,000 worth of diamonds in the pockets of his vest, all of which could be held in the palm of. the hand without any falling out, c. w. Ken nedy, who represents a big eastern house, has been in Bisbee for the past two days, walking about the streets as if he was fairly teeming with wealth.
 While Kennedy's diamonds are black. being the kind used in dia- mond drills. several of which are in use in the Warren district at the pres ent time, they nevertheless constitute a fortune of sufficient proportion to be welcome to almost any ordinary mortal.
 In the presence of group in the Copper Queen hotel last night Ken nedy smilingly drew the diamods from the pockets of his vest and dis played them to several who were standing nears Until he explained what they were several thought the stones to be of small value.
 Several of the diamonds are as large as small grape, having value of 5000. They range in size uOwn to the size of pea and even smaller, but every one of them represents a fair months wages, no matter how small they happen to be.
 Tn diamond-drili operations the dia- mond5 are by far the most expensive part. On account of their hardness they will grind into the hardest rock wearing it away without difficulty. But little impression is made on the diamond. which lasts weeks ana months before it is worn out and must be replaced with another
 Besides the black diamonds in his possession. Kennedy has several that were sent him from South Africa. They are still in the rough, being in the same shape as they were taken from the Kimberly fields by the cool ies, who gather millions of wealth for the mine owners, but receive but pit tance for their days wages.
 That Kennedy should carry such a large amount about his person occas- toned surprise on the part of sev- eral. When asked if he was not talk ing a big risk, he replied that he had been in all the mining camps in the West, but as yet had never been mo- tested
 Asked what he did with the dia- monds at night. Kennedy replied: q often take them with me to my room. After I have been inside long enough to hide them, will bet any man that he cannot find one of them, and I will give him plenty of time to make his search. I will not swal- low them, either.
 q have been in all sorts of places with these diamonds, and at times when others were being held up right and left. but I have never had any man offer to hold me up. No, do not care to say whether or not I always have them with me, or whether I car ry them in my pockets while travel ing or send them by express. I have been in the business several years and have never had any stolen"

HULL |S SIGHTED
Drifting Wreck May Be Last of 59 Passengers and
 Steamer.

San Francisco, April 4.-Officers of the Northwest Steamship Company's steamship Pennsylvania, arriving here from New York, report that when ten days from this port the masthead and part of the deck planking of d wrecked steamer were sighted drift ing before the wind.
 The Charles Nelson Company's steamer Sentinel is now twenty days overdue from Hakodate, and shipping men are speculating as to the chances of the sunken hull and masthead sighted at sea, belonging to that yes sel. Fifty-nine persons were aboard the Sentinel when she left Japan for this port, and steamers arriving from the Orient and other ports have brought no word of her.

Movement on Foot to Place Him at Head of County
 Organization.
HE IS SUPPORTED
 BY FRANK O'BRIEN.
Old Republican Bosses Are to Be Relegated to the Rear and the New Corners Lifted Up and Exalted.

The election of Dr. c. l.. Caven, a Republican, to be Mayor of Bisbee, following a strenuous campaign con ducted by R. A. Kirk, chairman of the Republican City Central Commit tee, has caused the suggestion to be made among a small coterie of Re publicans that Kirk is the man to put at the head of the Republican County Central Committee.
 That this is being talked about now is no secret, and it is not pleasant talk to the ears of the old-line Repub- lican bosses who have held the reins over the party in this county during the past two years. With the boom ing of Kirk for chairman of the Coun- ty Republican Committee is entwined the proposition to nominate Frank O'Brien for Sheriff this fall. Lewis Hunt. who made the fight against Gas sidy for postmaster, is also to De given a place on the band wagon, and it is the expectation that the Repub- lican friends of the new Mayor of Bisbee are to be lined up for this program.
 It is no political secret that there is no love lost between O'Brien and Kirk on the one side and Cassidy, Doyle, Rinehart ct al. on the other. The Kirk-O'Brien forces having cap cured the city organization, now pro- pose to lay siege to the county or ganization. and set up the fact that they know how to deliver the goods and that the old7party managers must now step down and out and give way to the real thing. It is needless to say that the Review has no interest in the matter only to give our read CTS the news of what is going on within the inner circles of the G. O. P.
 The plans now beig laid give prob ise of developing into a fight to the finish for supremacy in the party in Bisbee and throughout the county and the outs propose to use the election of Caven as a stepping stone to bigger things this fall.
 Watch the fur fly at the first meet ing of the Republican County Central Committee. An effort is already on foot to depose Cassidy as chairman and sub 5itute in his place either Lewis Hunt or R. A. Kirk and the or ganization is to be used for O'Brien for Sheriff. The Republican political pot in Cochise has begun to boil.

GRAZING LANDS LEASE
THIS IS PURPOSE OF BILL IN. PRODUCED IN CONGRESS BY DIRECTOR OF GEOLOGi-
 CRC SURVEY.

Washington, April 2-The secre- tary of the interior has transmitted tc ttre Senate and House bill drawn by the director of the geological sur Scy which permits the leasing of graz- ing lands for money, which is to be used by the reclamation service in building irrigation projects. The sec rctary of the interior signifies his will ingness to have sIich 8 law enacted
 The bill provides that the secretary of the interior shall be authorized to withdraw any unoccupied government lands in any state or territory wheCr he deems it for the public interest tc do so, and lease to stockmen uT9I terms of payment to be fixed by him, preference being given to owners of stock who are settlers in the vicinity, and that the proceeds are to be cen. verted into the reclamation, as above stated. At the expiration of any lease the secretary of the interior is authorized to exclude from grazing areas the tracts wf.'ch in his opinion should be subject to ersry or settle nent under the public land laws.
 A letter from the general survey accompanies the bill, and it is set forth that the complete development of irrigation projects now undertaken will require funds far in excess of the allotment now made to the first unit. There are three projects which re- quire early completion in order to keep certain water rights from going to foreign countries. These are the Rio Grande. the Rio Colorado and the Milk River projects. In order that these and other projects may be com pleted without delay and save the re- version of water rights, it is suggest ed that the lands they are to cover pe leased out for grazing purposes. and therefore a general leasing law be put in effect.

Important Test Will Be Made of Water Pump in Mines
 at the CZar Shaft,
STEAM PUMPS MAY
 BE DONE AWAY WITH.
Knowles Express, Capable of
 Pumping 400 Gallons per. Minute, With 800 Revolu-
 tionS, Will Be Here Shortly,

An important and far reaching ex. pertinent is about to be made by the Copper Queen Company in electrical pumps for hoisting water from their mines here by installing pump. run by electrical power. on the 400-foot level of the Czar shaft.
 At present the water in the Czar is being pumped to the surface by a steam pump. capable of lifting 1,5e0 gallons per minute. an amount great ly in excess of the amount ordi- narily handled except in cases of flood.
 The electrical pump about to be in stalled will lift only 100 gallons per minute, but it is claimed for it that it is done at much less expense thar the same amount can be hoisted by !; steam pump of similar capacity.
 There are between 300 and 4oO gal Ions of water sent to the surface iron the i00-foot level of the CZar every minute, the big 1 800 gallon pump now in use there being much larger thar there is use for. While the electri- cal pump will displace it for active use, il will be kept where it is to be used in cases of emergency.
 Superintendent Sherman, speaking of the pump matter yesterday, stated that the new pump is to be installed purely as an experiment. Should f prove all that is claimed for 1t, the matter of replacing all the steau. pumps in the mine with others run by electricity will then be taken up.
 The pump we are getting" safe he, ''is a Knowles Express, directly connected. It has 900 revolutions to the minute. each revolution lifting over a gallcn. Being directly con. nected gives the pump much highe, sDeed than some believe is practical The test in the matter is really wheth CT or not . pump can run at that high speel or not The steam pump now have in use makes fifty revolu tions to the minute"
 The Czar pumps are now handling the water from the Czar and Holbrook shafts, while the Lowell and Srray shafts have individual pumps. Wa ter in the Holbrook is lifted to the 500-foot level and then turned over to the Czar to handle.
 Pump men in the mine are anxious to see the experiment made with the new electrical pump. Should 1t do the work and the steam pumps be replaced, pump men will accept the change gladly. for the reason that electrical pumps are cleaner and nor satisfactory to work with than their steam mates.
 While it is claimed, and partially believed, that water can be lifted cheaper with the electric pump, the fact that steam pipes in the mine shafts and the consequent heat will be done away with is another argu, ment in favor of making the change
 The new pump has a capacity of lifting 576,000,O00 gallons of water every twenty-four hours.

Trouble in Ranks.

Pittsburg, April 4.-Notwithstand- ing the fact that the Pittsburg Coal Company has signed the scale, de- manded by the miners, and the an nouncement that the men would re- turn to work at once, not more than half of the conpany's operations are under way. This, it was stated to- night, was due to the conflicting or ders that had been sent out by con testing officers of the local district. in which there has been a factional fight.
 Patrick Dolan. who is one of the contesting officers of the local dis trict, and who was charged with hold ing back the miners from returning to work, made a statement in which he denies that he sent out any orders, restraining the miners and advising th-m to return to work at onC,.
 4 further development in the soft coal situation in this district that ap- peared tonight is indicated in the statement of an independet operator. who has been at the meetings of this Body and was one of the charter mem bers of the organization, former last night.
 This gentleman said tonight: ''It will be all over in a week. If the Pittsburg Coal Company gets ali its men back to work by next week, there will be nothing left for the independ- ents to do but to sign the scale'
 It was the general sentiment tonight that between the order sent out by the local district yesterday, ordering the men to return to work and the state ment issued by the Dolan men in Pittsburg district, the men will re turn to work at once.

Advices received by the officials of the experiment station in Tucson state that bill has just passed Con- gress and has received the approval of the president which will increase ultimately the annual allowance of the experiment station and agricultural college funds from S4O,000 to $55,000. The bill is known as the Adams act, and becomes effective at once. It pro- vides that the experiment station fund shall be increased s5000 during the first year. The allowance for this fund heretofore has been but 1000. This means that $20,000 will be al lowed for the year which begins July l. The following year an additional S2000 will be allowed, and $2000 will be add ed each succeeding year until the fund reaches s30,000. The agricultur- al college fund remains as it was s25,000 per year.
