"a Finished Town."

Judge n. NJ. Whitaker of Beaumont,
formerly of Tyler, was at the Lindell
this morning, CHANGING over the Ohron-
icle when the Herald man met him.
He said:
''I was just looking over the court
decisions 10 see what had been done
about the Tyler general office case.
but no decision has been rendered.
Even If the town wins, feel that it
will prove an empty honor. One
thing have noticed about these rail-
road towns, depending on a single
railroad interest, is that they SOON be-
come FINISHED town" mean by
that, they get hung onto that interest
like a leech, and them all efforts on the
part of the people cease. / lived at
Tyler number of years, and the town
made bat little advancement as long
as she was getting good fat pay roll
from the Cotton Belt, but when she
lost most of that the people began to
hustle, and the town began to grow"
The gentleman undertook to com
pare Palestine to that condition, but
he was promptly corrected, and was
informed of some of the progress, that
had been made the past few years.
'"Thst may be true" he said, "but
you need another railroad, and some
other interests outside of your railroad
pay roll. A town that can do so well
under the disadvantage of being a one
road, general Office and shop town,
could soon grow into city with few
other things thrown in"

A Sad Death.

Yesterday afternoon Miss Daisy
Duncan, whose home was the Congre-
gstional parsonage, near the Congre-
gstionsl church, died of pneumonia.
1t was a sad death, made especially so
from the fact that this family had but
recently moved here from Mineola.
The remains we're carried to that
place this morning for burial, and was
accompanied by the grief; stricken
family and few friends.

Big Crowds.

Immense crowds we're on the csrni-
val grounds last night, and the con-
fetti men seemed to be doing big
business, but the shows were not
catching much of the crowd. Fact is,
people seemed to be so busy having
fun on the outside they we're afraid to
go in the shows for fear they would
miss some of the outdoor 'un.

On Friday, April 20, John Davis, a pioneer of the Verdi vsllsy died at the hoinc of his fsthcr.in-law, c. .. Brown, near Acahpo, Cal.
 MT. Davis left Arizona for Cali fornia in time to arrive on Eastcs Sunday and was buried the Sunday following.
 MT. Davis, who was native of Ms souri, and 66 years of age, came to Arizona in the sixties. He was a member of one of the early legislatures, and for many years a prominent ran cher in the Verde valley, where hc settled long before the Indians had been removed, and while Camp Verde was a military pnst of importance.
 He was n friend of General Crook and of Captains John Burke and Charles King, and shared to some ex tent the literary tastes of ths two last named. Old time readers of the Journal. Miner will remember his his torical and ethhological sketches signed "Toro Blanco," and he rem dered valuable service at various times to the Bureau of Ethnology, with his wife, Sarah Elizabeth Davis, who died eleven years ago. He made the

PLANS TO DEVELOP THE GOLDEN EAoLD.
(rrorn Sunday 's DaiIvN

John 8. Haglef, one of the owners of the Golden Eagle mine in the Brad. shaw mountains left yesterday for Fort Worth, .Te1as, after spending about ten. days at his mining camp.
 Before leaving for his home in the Lone Star state, when interviewed by n Journal. Miner man, he stated that the small force of men employed in the de. velopmcnt of the property would be In. creased as. soon ns he returned here, which he thought would be within the next two weeks.
 The sinking of n working shaft on the vein will be then commenced, and the running of the tunnels and drifts will be continued. As depth is gained in the tunnel being run, the values ia the ore, which is principally gold.bcar. ing, have materially increased, and the mine is turning out even better than the most sanguinc expectations of it's own. CTS. H
 The claim is situate parallel to and adjoining the Buster group of mines on the western slope of the Bradshaw mountains about 3k miles in . wester. ly direction from the Lincoln mine, and about four miles by trail from Grown King, the terminus of tho Bradshaw Mountain railroad, with which it is connected by good wagon road about. seven miles in length. The i'm. mediate section is n we'll wntcred and timbcred one. The vein is Assure, cutting. through the granite country formation.
 A tunnel 200 feet in length, two other tunnels 60 and 70 feet in length, re- spcctivcly show the ledge to bs'a strong and continuous one for the en- tire length of the claim, carrying in it's quartz filings high grade gold va. lucs, with few ounces in silver 10 the ton.
 Mir. Haglcr was accompanied by c. II. Boedeker, n Fort Worth banker, who is interested in the Buster group of mines, near the Golden Eagle property, attorney John A. Peacock, one of the party, remaining in this city to attend to some business affairs in connection with both properties.

 For this unusual proceeding, Marshal iiopley and Jsilor Larry Urquidcs were responsible. At 9 o'clock last evening the. ofncsrs rnided the Legal Tender and arrested seven fellows who were bucking the game. The dealers were also arrested,
 The unexpected arrival of the ofn- eers created consternstion in the Legal Tender. The place was comfortably filled at the time, and the word was passed that everybody in the place would be arrested. It looked for mo ment as if there wssld be . stsmPsds Tor the doors, but as the officers were watching everything closely, the crowd could only stick it out, and await de- velopments.

 1t appears that Hooking vas engaged in construction work on the conccn. trator, which is as yet uncomplete,l, and placed an inch board across two girdcrs, on which to stand while do. ing some work. The distance between the two girders was only about three feet, and the board would kave safely supported almost any person.

it will he returned tc the earth as rain. The samc is true of tho water that passes into the air in the form of vapor from the Gulf of California. The shores of that body of water arc probably about as arid as can be found in any part of the globe. The true reason of its aridity is to be sought in the general circulation of the atmos. phcrc, as modified by the action of con. tinentsl masses, rather than in local topography or proximity of larec bodies of water.
 "In the region of the Great Lakes the precipitation on the lccward side of the several lakes is probably a little greater than on the wisdward side, but the difference is not of moment. In the matter of temperature, however, there ia decided amelioration of the rigors of winter due to the influence of the lake waters, and likewise the extreme heat of summer is diminished, especial. ly on the lccward side of tho lakes.
 "1t seems probable that tho temper. ature conditions in the vicinity of Sal. ton sink will he slightly affected by the presence of that body of water, the most noticeable changes being . tend. cncy to higher temperatures in winter along the shores of The lake and thus . protection from frost, and slightly lower temperatures In summer along the leeward shore. Doubtlcss the lower summer temperatures win be more insufferable than those formerly experienced by reason of the increased humidity. In any event the inAucncs of this body of water situated in tho heart of the desert cannot extend much, if any, beyond ten miles from its immediate shores.

A deal was perfected yesterday by which the title to the Eidorado group of mines in the Thumb Butte district passed from W. A. Dcarisg to the Eldorado Mines company, ah Arixona corporation recently organized.

FIGHT OVER DREYFUS.
Bloody Duel With Swords Follows

Paris. July 1.-THE scene of tum-
ultuous disorder which marked the en-
actment of the law restoring Alfred
Dreyfus to the army was followed by
bloody duel. in which Under Secretary
Of State Sarraut was dangerously
wounded by the sword of NJ. Pygliesi-
Cont. The duel assumed the aspect of
a veritable combat between the govern

which bitterly resist the governments

in the face. A scene of the widest up
roar ensued. compelling the suspension
of the session. It was after the close
of the session that the duel took place
1t was decided to fight Immediately
with swords, and principals and seconds
proceeded by automobiles to the Vile
