An Interesting Account
of the First Explorations
and Settlement and Or

Tic DeCtlH OCl uull1OC VI lhO
Arizona Maga zine, published in
Phoenix by w. J. Homer, con
tains a very interesting and in
structive article from the pen of
Sharlot NJ. Hall regarding the
early history and development
of our territory. Miss Hall is a
gifted writer who usually
chooses as the subject of her
numerous stories something that
pertains to ArizOua. Owing to
the fact that not great many
of our citizens are intimate tely
acquainted with the earlier his
tory of Arizona, we are reprint
ing the article in its entirety
herewith:
There are a few states like
Massachusetts with her Puritan
pilgrims, aud Virginia with her
cavaliers, and California with
her romance of gold and con
quest, and Texas who brought
to our flag a star that she had
won bravely and worn with
honor as an independent state.
that have a history that sets
them apart from all others; but
for the most part the history of
one state is so inwoven with
that of it's neighbOrs that taken
alone it is a thing Of shreds and
patches.
This is particularly true of us
here in Arizona; our story is
made up of crumbs that fall
from richer tables. We have
never had anything just for our
selves. Nobody discovered US
because he was looking for us;
nobody cared whether we were
ever discovered or not, and our
beginning in history was pune
tered with flowing Castillian
oaths because we presented
more miles of blistering desert
than golden cities of the Bull.
In the early day we had but
one eulogist, good Padre de
Mia, the first white conner to
our borders; and his glowing re
ports so glowed in and OUT of
season that only for his priestly
frock he would have been brand
ed Of all men liar And not a
few of the unlucky ones whom
he beguiled into following him
northward to his new found
paradise said so despite the
frock-and laid their despairing
bones face down in the sand,
while their souls went on to a
Drawer quest than Cibola.
But it is something to know

we we're destined to be the bat
tie ground Of missionaries and
politicians and treasure seekers
who came and saw and were not
infrequently conquered; and
went on to mingle the bitterness
of defeat with unvarled tales of
heat and sand and drouth and
desolation.
To go back still further it is
said that the Creator did not re-
fer to Arizona when he saw his
work and proclaimed it good.
Tradition asserts that being
particularly hurried the last
evening he cleaned up the work

Early poets have sung that
Lucifer himself was god father
at our christening, and being
permitted to add whatever be
deemed lacking to climate and
scenery he ever after forSOOk

his permanent abode in Ari-

In truth Nature seems to have

were bent nOrthWard to the fa-

said laid beyond the desert. The
same lure of heather souls to be
saved and heathen gold to be
won that had led him through
Peru with PizzarO now fired his
enthusiasm for another quest
fated to end in something less
than InCas and ingots.

and pleasure beyond.
Quite the most wonderful
thing of all is how thoroughly
those first Spaniards penetrated
the secrets of the grim land in
which they wandered without
map or guide. The Colorado
river with its marvellous can
yOn, the great triple peaks of
San Francisco, the deserts, the
few fertile valleys, were all
known and then forgotten. as
the dream Of a new Peru faded
and grew dim.
1t was quest Of souls pure
and simple that made our histO-
ry for the next Century. We
were a lost and forgotten land

more Jealous than his fellows,
crossed to the Moqui villages to
the north, or eastward to Zuni
aud the scattered PuebIos along
the Rio Grande. They found
the Indians of the great river
valley, which in 1880 appeared
under its present name of ella,
the same friendly, peaceful, ag

day. A mission to the PapagOS
was the first attempt at settle
ment in Arizona; and without
the aid Of this tribe and the Pi-
mas and MarICOpas there never
would have been that brief, rO-
mantle, always precariOus era
of Spanish colonization along
the southern border.
Over the earliest pages of our
history lie large the names of
two priests, Padre de MIA, the
dreamer, and KinO, the mission
builder. MIA first made us
known to the civilized world;
KinO shot through the plain
warp of our story with such
golden threads of romance as
shall never fade. He was a
great traveller, from 1857 he
spent twenty years going up
and down over northern Sonora
aud that vague land Of Pine

with a few Spanish soldiers for
a guard, but often alone with
only an Indian guide. On one

had no permanent building; the
number of missions in Arizona

COLE OUT, KELLEY IN
WELL KNOWN SCRAP IRON MAN
 TAKES UP MORTGAGE.
Hearing on Jacques Estate Goes Over Again-Bigger Theater May Be
 Outcome of the Litigation.

The hearing to have the estate of the late Eugene l.. Jacques declared insolvent has again been adjourned. Things are shaping themselves, how ever to suit the pleasure of those in terested. This morning M Keeley, ST, took up the mortgage for $7,50O held by Attorney E. F. Cole, on Jacques theater. The matter was conducted through Attorney Russel for Mrs Jac- ques. There is another mortgage on the property. This is for $1S,000 and is held by the Dime Savings bank. It is now supposed that Attorney Rus sell is in possession of the informa- tion regarding the nature and num- Der of claims against the estate and which he claimed was refused him by the administrator. It is also said that the estate may not be declared insolvent in view of the amiable rela- tons that now seem to be growing be- tween those involved
 The agreement between Mir Jac- ques and MT Poli as to the manage ment of the Jacques, brought to MT Jacques $50 week and $6,0O0 a year also, as rent for Jacques. The income from Polls was divided be- tween Jacques and Pol and this de- pended upon the success of each sea- son.
 Attorney Russell hints that Mrs Anna c Jacques, guardian of her grandneice, Marie Mercedes, Mir Jac- ques' only child, will attempt to car " out the intentions of her former guardian, Attorney Cole. to increase the seating capacity of Jacques thea ter. It is said the capacity could be almost doubled for about S15.OO0.
 In the course of week will be seen the trend of events which now seem to be progressing satisfactorily.

count of Strike.


 A great many people are wonder ing how much of strike, If any at all, we'll have in Waterbury to-mor- row. The masons and brlckayers are expected to take definite action on the matter tonight, but somehow there seems to be feeling all around that there vii be no tie-up. The workmen say they don't want things to stop, the bosses are anxious to keep right on, and everybody knows that the public is very much opposed to a suspension of opera tions. There is lots of work and good wages, and, so far as can be learned, good feeling between em- ployers and employees, so that really there does not appear to be any req son for a clash, that is, unless there is something wrong which does not come to the notice of the ordinary mortal, a hitch concealed from those not on the inside.
