Tombstone epitaph., 1906-07-01
An Outsiders
 Opinion of Tombstone

L. R. Allen, a we'll known property owner of Bisbee, is among those here from that city to serve on the U. s. trial jury. MT. Allen has been large ly successful in real estate and build- ing investments in Bisbee in the last year and is considered one of the finest judges of realty in the South west, having had experience at Las Vegas, Fl Paso and other points before locating at Bisbee. Speaking today of Tombstone he said that he believed no room for doubt existed but that the city afforded excellent opportunity for the making of fortunes in realty and business enterprises in the next few years, having become convinced after a look over the mines and the per manent improvements being made there that success in lar measure was near at hand with large increase in local population in it's train.

Great Arizona
 Yucca Forest

Rev. Father Cyp. Vsbre has s we'll written article in the June Pioneer on the great Arizona Yucca forest, between Yucca and Bill Williams Fork. This forest is one of the moot remarkable in Arizona, extending over an area of 600 square miles In March, year ago, the forest was . mass of bloom and later bore so much fruit that the trees broke down under its weight. This fruit is a very sugary mass, which the Indians used to press into cakes and lay away for winter use. A number of years ago representatives of English paper mills examined the forest with the view of putting in a pulp mill and using the wood in making paper pulp, but they gave it up on account of the lack of water in that locality.

The Silhouette
 of Discomfort

It is afe to expect further bad news from Cananea, but it is slso safe to predict that any glaring emergt ncy that may arise will be promptly met. The Nogales Times is in possession of information that a general and deter mined demonstration will take place next Sunday, the leaders being for the most part. labor agitators from the United States. The same source of information further conveys the fact that the American and Mexican gov ernments have long since been fore warned and will be in full readiness to meet any demands for strict en- forcement of the law. The demon stration may not take place strictly on the first of the month, but it l: planned with minute completeness just the same. Government wires have been quite warm for several dayi and it may be that the Cananes "promotors" of trouble have become "wise" to the situation.

The case will probably get to the jury this evening It will be followed tomorrow morning by the case of the Copper Queen vs Bauer, which is very similar to the McCsbe case in matters of detail. Mir.

Preparing for the
 Territorial Fair

Shirley Christy, representing the Territorial Fair a. Phoenix, and who has charge of the race program of the big meet, was in Tombstone today n the interest of the Tom bstone Stake" of $l 900. This amount was guarau teed by our citizens, which places Tombstone in the band wagon and insures place m the big races at the Fair.
 MT. Christy states that from $l5, 900 to s20,0O0 will be paid in prizes at the races this year. and already Ari- zona is attracting much attention among the horsemen of the east. Phoenix has one of the fastest tracks in the west, and it is not unlikely that some records will be broken. The $l,00O guarantee for Tomb stone wss subscribed without any trouble. Last year a similar amount was guaranteed, and tue Fair proved such A success that none of the guar antees were called upon to contribute The same is expected to apply thii year, as an even greater success il looked for.
 The following Tombstone citizens signed to guarantee $l00 each: E. d Gage, w. F. Staunton, A. N. Gage, H Kinsley. J. N. Gaines, R. s. Hunt George B. Wilcox, Machomich Mer cantile Co.,. A. Wentworth, Bacon { Rooms, and F. w. Goodbody, the tw' latter signing for $50 each.

Fort Apache to
 be Abandoned

It now looks very much ss if Fort Apache would be abandoned by the United States army, leaving only Forts Whipple and Huachuca remain ing to bring back to the mind of the old-timer the days of Geronimo and General Lswton, the man who captured the willy old Apache leader.
 Fort Apache is ninety miles from the nearest railroad and the wagon road to the fort is very poor. All supplies are taken by wagon from Hclbrook. It is thought that Apache will be abandoned before the fist o the year. In the meantime foul troops of cavalry will be left at the old fort.
 At one time Fort Apache was an sb- solute necessity, being situated or the Apache reservation.

Filipino Youths
 Seek Knowledge

Bradstreet's says that it seems that the Philippine service has not proven attractive to Americans. Secretary Ferguson, in his annual report to Governor-Gcneral Ide, says that the executive bureau is having trouble in getting Americans who will remain in the service, and that the grade of the men coming from the United States is below the standard of the clerical force sent to the islands sev- eral years ago. Although :he execu. tive bureau has been established over four years. only five Americans are in- cluded in the office force of i37 per sons. It is of interest to note that the pubic schools were opened throughout the islands few days ago, and that while the accon modations only provided for about 400, 900. about 500, 900 pupils attended.

The Reclamation
 Service at Work

A Washington dispatch says:-
 The reclamation service is co-oper- ating heartily with the bureau of plant industry in & series of experi- ments which the latter is initiating in the vicinity of Yuma, Ariz. A plot of ground controlled by the service has been turned over to the plant experts, who propose to experi- ment with cotton and other various crops.
 The delta of the Colorado river has always possessed a singular facina- tion for the scientific men of the de- partment of agriculture, and the re- cults of these experiments cannot fail to prove of inestimable value to the settlers who gill take up homes in this region as soon as the govern meut's irrigation works are conplet- ed.
 Itis a demonstratable fact that no other portion of the United States, when irrigated, is capable of support ing a denser population than the Col orsdo delta. Five acres properly cul- tivsted and irrigated will support a family in comfort. as the crop season IS practically continuous. One crop follows the other throughout the year. Oranges, pomelos, melons, all the small fruits and vegetables mature earlier here than in California, and consequently are marketable at the top prices.

FRIDAY, JUNE 29

In the case of Rodriguez, charged bringing Mexican women across the line at Douglas for immoral purposes, the Federal jury arrived at verdict of mot guilty" last night. Return of the verdict was made upon convening of court at S:30 this morning and Rodriguez released.
 Immediately after the release of Ro- driguez arrest WAS made of Jose Que sada on a charge of perjury in con nection with the hearing of Rodriguez. Quesada swore last night that the women implicated in the trouble did not cross the line with Rodrig ez; ac cording to Quesada they crossed with his evidence was detailed in this mat ter and was in conflict with other evidence that had been given.
 U. s. Immigration Officer Cornell expressed surprise this morning that acauittal had been made and said that he did not understand how the evil dence presented by the Government could have allowed of such result. "It's the first case I have lost," he contin- ued, but it does not discourage me, for believe that in putting Rodriguez through the paces we have given them all a lesson that they wIll no. soon forget"
 United States Attorney Alexander and Assistant Attorney Jones con ducted the prosecution in an able manner. For the defense Attorney OrfIa of Bisbee was chief counsel, with Attorneys Parsons and Beumler of Douglas as assistants. Both sides made a hard fight.
 The Copper Queen McCabe case was resumed this morning before Judge Doan at 9 o'clock.
 The counsel on both sides contest ea every inch of the way stubbornly, and a good deal of the time was taken up with objections and arguments thereon.

 in Arizona in May

The output of copper from the Douglas smelters in May is estimated at l2,6OO, 900 pounds, at the rate of l5l 900 900 pounds 8 year.

To Tap Tombstone
 Subterranean Lake

Among arrivals last night was Mr. Ernest Everhsrdy. vel known meat market man of Bisbee, who came from St. David to serve On the U. $. trial jury. Mir. Everhar has lately been at St. David as president of the Water Development and irrigation company.
 The deep-well boring machinery brought in to sink POO feet or more, Mir. Everhardy states, is working to greater advantage and with more rspidity than at first expected. Twelve inch casing is also being sunk with much success as the hole goes down. This casing has double thicknes. through the fact that each piece sets on shoulder half way down the pre- ceding joint. A cutting device will be employed later on to pierce the pipe ct every water strstts passed through, thus allowing iRfiow from each. This means of securing water from various strata has been success fully employed in southern California for q number of years.
 Mir. Everhsrdy is inclined to the belief, along with water formation ex- ports who have devoted considerable time to the examinat on of that vii cinity. that there Is more than mere chance that when the deep well now being sunk reaches a depth of from 800 to 1000 feet it will tap the great water basin underlying Tombstone and draw the wster from it fer the ir- rigation of thousands of fertile St
 David acres. Such result would be oi immense value to both Tombstone and the valley. Up to the present time no we'll has been sunk in the ar tesian belt to sufficient depth to sp- prosch the big Tompstone basin level should it extend below to the valley The well now under way is to go Sjt feet below the depth oi the present deepest artesisn wells about St. David
 Many experts have long maintained that all the water underlying Arizona New Mexico, Utah and Nevad' finds a common home in one immenst underground sea from which only a small fraction is now being drawn by the thousands of irrigating enterprise in the southwest. the balance finding its way into the Pacific ocean of Sal Pedro about Ii miles, where fresl water may be dipped from the sal surrounding at all times of the yea and in all conditions of weather.

Complications
 With Mexico

The Colorado river is again attract ing the attention of tine government and may be the cause of diplomatic negotiations with Mexico in a short time, if such negotiations have not actually been opened.
 Reports from the government en- gineers and from officials of the South ern Pacific Railroad company agree that the Colorado is now on the most dangerous and destructive rampage in its modern history and no one can tell where the trouble will end.
 The Yuma irrigation project is in volved on account of the threatened destruction of Laguna dam through the erosion of waters. The entire river is flowing in enormous volume into Salton sink and Salton sea Is rising at the rate of six inches per i day and now covers 365 square miles.
 The reclamation service has made q report to the president, through Sec retsry Hitchcock, suggesting a pos sible remedy which will require the cooperation of the Mexican govern ment. The report points out that the entire trouble has been caused by the diversion of the river just below the international boundary line, which has resulted in a permanent channel being cut into Salton sink and the abandonment by the river of its old channel to the gulf.
 In view of the damage already done and in view of the danger that threat ems 5000 American citizens and Sl0, COG, 900 worth of property in the Im- perial country, the reclamation service ! suggests that Mexico be asked to grant a right of-way to the United States for a canal along the general route of the present main channel through Mex ico territory, to a point where the river re-enters the United States.
 Reclamation engineers report that the river is rapidly cutting through from its old channel to Salton sink, which will soon be 250 feet deep. This channel, which is really can- yop, was $50 fee. wide at the point of diversion, and the efforts of the peo- pie there to shut it back resulted in widening the river to over half mile Engineers report that the private control of the rambuncteus Colorado is impossible.
 II the Colorado should fill the Sal ton sea level, about 2,0O0 square miles would te inundated.

Increasing Demand
 For Silver

Recently there have been a number of conditions strengthening the de- mand for silver. While some of these conditions have been temporary, others have tine appearance of perman- ence. General prosperity a. d a re- vival of old fashions are adding large ly to the consumption of silver by the arts, and there is likelihood Of further increase. The present result Is that the increase io silver is out stripping the increase in the output of by-product silver.
 The price of silver is influenced in two ways by the increased production of gold. Gold and silver usually occur together; and, under varying condi- tiops, to greater or less extent, each is the by product of the other. The, amount of silver produced is affected by the greater production of gold just. as it is by the greater production of lead or copper. The greater produc-. tion of gold is supposed to be accom- panied by a depreciation in it's value, or, in other words, by general rise of prices as measured ingold The price of silver would naturally be affected by this general movement.

New Freight Engines
 For E. P. & s. w.

The western division of the South western has received a valuable ad dition to the freight equipment of the road. Two large consolidated engines Nos .63 and 64, arrived from the east, and they will immediately be placed in the freight service. The engines are similar to the huge decapods which are being used for hauling ore trains. They weigh almost as much but have four sets of drivers instead of five.

Going to Stir
 Santa Cruz Up

Frank Powers, the head of the Worlds Fair Mining company, owing valuable mining property in Santa Cruz county, has given Nogales quite a scare.
 It is stated in a rumor that he is going to put l,500 men to work at his mine, which is enough to swing the elections in that small county.
 He them proposes to vote the remov. al of the county seat from Nogales and do other things to make his camp boom.

The Lodge IS in a most Aourishing condition and has over sixty members. It is said the celestials are very proud of their fellowship standing and are most zealoue in the work of the order. They own a creditsble lodge building to which they are at present making an addition of four rooms.
