 One of these laws ii the confirma- ton of rights-of-way cquired by the railroads which have been con structed and are nov in operation over the public domE.n in the terri tery.

 A copy of the ney naturalization law l is expected to arr. soon. The law makes some mater i changes from the old law. It is lken from the dis crict court and pllc ced in the United States courts and gives the United States attorney the power to examine and cross-eXamine the applicant to determine his fitness to become cit. izen of the United States, and the ap- plicant is compelled to undergo a much more thorough examination than has been done in the past. The 1 law provides that no applicant shall be admitted for 30 days next pro- ceeding general election. The law Twill make a hardship on those who l reside in counties in the territory that have no United States court.

Under this law all aliens of Santa Cruz county who | wish to become naturalized will be compelled to come to the United States court of Cochise county and take out their papers both first and last.
 Walter Coger of the St. David Ar. tesian company was in the city today. Mir. Coger states that the big well be ing sunk at St. David is now down to a depth of 470 feet. The drill has been the past few days in a hard ce. ment formation and has not been mak- fg more than from ten to fourteen feet per day. The formation lies di- rectly under the water bearing strata that has been struck in all of the wells heretofore sunk in the valley and which has never been gone through before. The water that has been passed by the drill would fur nish a flow of 500 gallons per min ute, but the men behind the drill are not satisfied with this and hope to materially increase this amount when the cement formation has been gone through. It is their theory that if this cement formation will hold up water ft should be strong enough to
 keep water down and they are firm in their belief that a strong flow will be encountered when the cement forma
 ton has been perforated. The drill
 has already gone through forty feet Of this hard strata and it is expected that during the next few days that it Will have gone through this layer and opened up the big body of water that
 lies below.
 The success of this well is beine
 watched by a number of citizens oi
 Cochise county, and the striking of g
 large flow Of water will make the San
 Pedro valley one of the best garden suOts of the West. The Southern Pa
 cific company is watching the pro
 gTess of the well and expects to have ono or mora ciy,iior .,yofI- c,,,t- &. 4t
