Rain and Hail Up Valley.

Sunday afternoon it was observed
there was something doing in the
world above, and in few hours
when the dark and lowering clouds
had absorbed more moisture than
they could hold, turned loose a ram
that brought joy to every farmer IN
the valley, says Las Animas Leader.
The ground was thoroughly soaked,
and as result all nature and vegcta-
ton is looking bright as a smiling
boy with clean face. Some hail tell
in town and the wind tried to raise
rumpus but gave up the job before
any great damage was done. 1t was
reported that between Fowler ana
Manzanola a narrow strip OF truit ana
cantaloupes was destroyed, but that
Leets were not injured.

Rocks, Bottles and Fists Used in Battle for Supremacy of Darktown, in Upper Part of Brewery Gulch.

Upper Brewery Gulch. in that part krown as Darktown, was the scene of what might have been a very bloouy battle yesterday afternoon, had it not been for the timely arrival Of Mar shal Snodgrass and Constable Jack White.
 The chief belligerants were taken before Judge Murphy, and fine ot S10 imposed on Tidy Robertson.
 From the evidence it would seem tEat Tidy Robertson was the chief aggressor. The charge was assault with very damaging effect, with rock. on one Ethel Scott. Ethel, as was shown by the evidence, had heaped some very strong epithets on the head of Harry Holland, and that gentleman not being present To re- sent this action on the part of the aforesaid Ethel, Tidy took the matter ir her own hands.
 Later the officers arrested Ethel Scott and Matte Laws on a charge of fighting. They will be tried before Justice Murphy at Il o'clock this morning.
 It appears to have been a drunken row between a number of colored wo' men, in which rocks, bottles and fists were freely used.

SALTON SEA WILL
 NOT BE CLOSED
OWING TO NEAR APPROACH OF REGULAR ANNUAL RISE THE
 WORK IS POSTPONED.

Owing to the near approach of the regular annual rise of the Colorado river, the actual work of closing the lower intake of the imperial canal has been stopped and no further attempt will be made until after the summer floods. A few men remain at the keadgate to do some finishing work which is now about completed. Gen. eral Manager Redwood says it would be- easily possible at the present stage of the river to shut out the water. btA there is little doubt that when the high river comes it would sweep over any dyke or levee that could be built within the limited time, and a good deal of the work would be wasted.
 The work thus far completed is of the most substantial character and will not be affected by the floods. The i'm mense headgates, 200 feet in the clear between abutments. is completed and would carry the entire present flow of the river without any strain whatever It is one of the best as well as most

EXCELLENT OPENING

Architect Hurst Says It May Be Necessary for Contrac- tors to Organize Company and Burn Their Own Brick,
-.-t sE8st C,Eo3rtl1Uc ' ,f5
 -sr s.-- .-----C 2,

Several architects and builders in Bisbee yesterday called attention to the fact that this city is now staring in the face a brick famine, one which is greatly retarding the construction of new buildings and which is likely to grow in importance if the supply is not met.
 Though within a short distance or Bisbee, hundreds of acres of fine brick clay are available, no one seems in- clined to go into the business of brick making. As fast as bricks are burnt and the kiln cooled they are taken away by people who have contract ed for them several months in ad- vance.
 Speaking about this yesterday. Ar chitect Hurst stated that if an expert in the line would invest the proper amount of capital near Bisbee in a brick yard, big returns could be made within the next twelve months.
 q know of a number of contracts which would be let as soon as poSsi- ble if there was any assurance that brick would be available by the time they were needed" remarked Hurst.
 1t strikes me that there is a small fortune in this for someone who cares to go into that line of business. It does not take a large expenditure to equip a yard suitable for making and burning brick. Between this city and Benson there are number of places where good brick clay can be found.
 Several have spoken to me recently about this matter. and I know that II there is no one to go into the business it may be necessary for the contrac- tors to organize a company and make the brick themselves. I do not Know but what this would be good propo- sition for them"
 Today the contract will be let for the two.story brick building to be erected by M. J. Cunningham and Peter Johnson on Main street near the fire-house Yesterday men were put
 to work tearing down the building that now stands on the ground. Sev- tral thousand brick will be needed here.
 F On Saturday the contract for erect ing the new Elks' building near the Johnson block on Upper Main street will be ler. This is to be three stories high. with cement block front and the other three walls of brick.

Board of Supervisors Not at Fault If Bisbee School Is
 Short of Funds. :.

Have Exceeded What He lAskE ed for by $7,000, and Still Have S5,0o0 to Garry Out
 Work of This School Year,

In the issue of May appeared a statement that a shortage exists in the funds necessary to complete the pres. ent school term, and that this shortage was caused by the Board of Super visors cutting down the levy for school purposes to 40 cents on the $1O0 val uation, thereby lessening the amount of the funds 20 per cent. That this is not a true statement of facts is shown by the records of the Board of Su- fervisors for the past three years which shows as follows:
 The 1903 levy for school purposes, 17c; 1904 levy for school purposes, 40c; 1905 levy for school purposes, 40c.
 Thus 1t will be seen that the levy for 1905 was the same as for 1904, and more than twice as great as that of 1903, and that no cut was made.
 Again the statement that the 40- cent levy has proven inadequate IS shown to be erroneous from the rec oIds of County Superintendent Rock fellow, which show that there is ore tk2:2 S5,000 to the credit of the Tis- bee school district, whicf Is more than ample to finish out the P. .esent school year ending June 1.
 The same is true of every district in the county, all having ample fL. ds to complete their schools tor the it'll school term, and in most cases a sur plus.
 Evidently the informant of the Re view was not well posted on the condi- ticns of the different school districts, and desires to make it appear that he Board of Supervisors is neglect ing the schools, when exactly the oppo- site is the case, as is shown from the records: - a.....-
 In 19O3-4 expended. for schools. S+4,- S15.27; 1904-5 expended. for schools, S60, 0,521.S4; 1905-6 expended for schools Approximately S77,G0.
 If anything further were needed to justify the action of the board in the be mentioned that the estimate of Su- perintendent Rockfellow, for the total amount necessary to carry on the county schools for the fiscal year end ing June 1, 1906, as required ry law, and upon which the board based tEeir tax levy, was s70,000. Thus 1t will be seen that more than s7,0n0 n ex- cess of the superinteudents estimate has been raised and expended, Gnd if a shortage does exist (which has not been shown.) the fault lies With the county superintendent in not placing his estimate high enough and rot with the Board of SuperviSO.:s.
 There is considerable complaint al ready among the taxpayers, of Bisbee at having to pay the highest rate. of any city of the county, being s3.25. and had the school rate been fixed at 50 cents instead of 40 cents, they would have been compelled to pay at the rate of s3.35 per hundred.
 The rate of 50 cents would have raised considerable more than was needed by the schools and would have only tied up the additional funds in the Ireasurer's office and have Eeen of no avail. At the rate of 48 cents. tEeTe has been raised between S7,O90 and s10,00G in excess of the estimate filed by Superintendent Of Schools Rockfellow.

HiGH-GRApE GOLD .-.. IN ASH PEAK MINES.

About a month ago this paper had something to say about a strike oi high-grade gold and silver ore that was made i nthe holdings of the Ash Peak. Mining company near Duncan Ariz. The strike was on the Last Chance. the most westerly Of the grou of claims owned by the company Deyelopment showed a large thread of ore running as high as s400 per ton, averaging about s150 to the ton. Since making the strike about 40 tons or this ore have been taken from the prospecting shaft now being sunk, ana there is no indication of the ore plnch- ing out or decreasing in value me shaft is twelve feet long, and there IS ore averaging over two feet wide along it's entire length and continuing lhto the walls on both sides of the smart. The ore is that of the same hlghly siiicious character found on all of the ecmpany's property, the gangue being mostly quartz. The silver occurs mostly ss sulphides, although some horn silver has been found; the gold is free.
 IL is the intention of the present owners, the Ash Peak Mining Cim- pany, to push development on this property as rapidly as possible. Plans are already under way for the cree ton of a stamp mill and cyanide pant, and with the immense amount of ore available and extremely hsh percentage of extraction by the com. biped processes, the installation ol such a mill is expected to put the property quickly on a paying basis.

TUCSON GAMBLERS ARE
 HAVING STRENUOUS TIME
HOMER DUBOIS GETS SENTENCE IN SEVEN CASES FOR Vio-
 HATING ORDINANCE.

The Tncson Star of Tuesday gives the status of the fight against the gamblers in that city on that date as follows: :.
 Municipal Judge Treat made 1t si50.0O in each of eight cases and 3U days for each case in the city jail, Homer Dubois defendant on the charge of conducting gambling games
 '.In the case of William Reid 1t was sl5O.06 fine for playing the games and thirty days in the jail.
 Dubois went to jail, while Reid served on a territorial jury and at tended to his business at Park View as usual.
 "At 9:3o last night Marshal Hopley appeared at the Legal Tender and wound up business by causing the ar. rest of seven players and two dealers -J, l.. Hunter at the roulette game and Chico Mendibies at the crap game, the latter having been reopened Sunday. n'The delegation appeared before Judge Treat, City Attorney Lowell be ing present In the case Of the play, CTS they were allowed to go with in structions to appear in the municipal court at 10 a. m. Saturday. Hunter and Mendibles gave cash bonds in the sum of s100 each, their cases being ordered for 10 o'clock this morning
 There are altogether Is complaints eight disposed of as to gambling, Du- bois the defendant.
 w. P. Miller has been preparing in order to be fortified to appear this morning before Judge Campbell on habeas corpus proceedings. He will bring ordinances Nos. 1S3, 194 Janu. ary, 1905, into court in support of his argument to show that the city in passing these ordinances violated the statutes, the attorney claiming ordi' Eances 1884 make. gambling prohibi- tive contrary to the statutes.
 Things are getting lively after ten days of strenuous life in the sporting world of Tucson. The poker games go on in various places, select and otherwise, just the same.

SOUTHWESTERN SHOPS IN
 FL PASO OPEN JUNE

August 1st is the date set for open ing the new Fl Paso 6 Southwestern shoos in Fl Paso. Unless unexpected delays hinder work on the shops, 300 men will be employed in the sheps shortly after that date.
 During the coming 90 days every ef' fort will be exerted to avoid delay The rapidly increasing traffic Of the Southwestern and the growing de mands on it's equipment necessltate the opening of these new shops at the earliest date possible
 H. J. Simmons, general manager oi the Southwestern says the company is confident of seeing the completion of the shops by the first of August.
 If nothing unforeseen occurs, sey- eral hundred men will be working in the shops by that time" he told the Fl Paso Herald. Practically without execution, these workmen will be new corners to the city. suppose they will represent the addition of several hun dred families to the population of El Paso."
 New rules for the guidance of em' ployes of the Fl Paso & Southwestern will go into effect June 1st. The re. yised rule book is being brought into final form. When it is made effect i've, wholesale examinations of em ployes, to determine their knowledge of the rules, will begin.
 For the western division employees the change will not be great. The new rule book will differ little from the Look now in effect on the western di vision. It will be extended to em brace the eastern division also, bring ing the entire system under uniform regulations.
 No examination may be required foi the western division, but some 400 odd employees of the eastern divisions vii need careful examinations. For this purpose an examining board will prob ably be named, and in instruction car sent out over the line to examine em plcyes at various points. The greater part of the examination will probably be conducted in Fl Paso.
