Arizona republican., 1906-01-20

the course of the year and naturally
 is in a splendid position to know when | he makes d statement comparing one
 section Of the United States with an II other Arizona, he says, is the one
 place in all the country where com | mercial men like to find themselves | from December first to April 1 first and the climate we have | here is the talk of the road. Even
 with the disagreeabIe day. Phoenix ex- 1 perienced yesterday MT. Caro- says he
 would prefer it to the weather in any
 other city on January 18th. With all ! the stories that are told of the heat
 of Phoenix summers, he says they are
 not heard nearly so frequently as the l tales of the elegant winter climate. The | principal brand of cigars he sells is | Henry the Fourth and he tells an inter. esting story of how the firm came to | choose the name. Of course it is a | good one by reason of it's historic fea- | ture but the present principal owner | of the manufacturing company is the
 fourth son of a man named Henry, and
 who is well known among tobacco men
 of the country as Henry the Fourth.
 Hence the use of his nickname.
 MT. Caro will leave for the east to-
 night.

 | HURT BY A BLAST-Fritz Nitten-
 dorf, a well-known miner of Mayer, | is in town to secure medical treatment ! for an injured hand that he suffered | by the explosion of a giant powder ! cap, says the Prescott Journal-Miner.
 Some time ago he was testing a box of | caps to determine whether they We're stin good, as they had been in his possession over a year. He attached a fuse to one of the caps and lighted | it. The fuse burned about an inch, and then seemingly was extinguished. Instead, however, it was defective, and just as Mittendorf was about to throw it away the cap exploded, tear ing the flesh of his hand into frag- ments, although fortunately breaking none of the bones. Two hundred pieces of metal were picked out of the injured member, and MT. Mittendorf has come to Prescott to have an opera tion perforemd by pr. Looney.
 WHIPPLE POST HOSFITAL-Ma- jor c. c. Walcutt, who is in charge of the obstruction work now going on at Fort Whipple, was advised by the war department Friday that the bids sub
 nitted for the building of the proposed hospital ct the fort were rejected on account of being about $14,000 in eX- cess of the amount allowed by law for post hospital buildings. It appears that the war department is not allowed to expend more than $2O,OOO in the con struction of a post hospital without be- ing first authorized to do so by a spe- cial acr of congress. The plans for the proposed hospital at Whipple appear to be in harmony with the other build ings now under course of construction there. out prominent contractors now state that it is impossible to construct the building according to the present specifications for the amount at the disposal of the department It is pos sible that congress will be asked to pass a special act authorizing an ap- propriation sufficient to construct the building as the department authorities suggest, and as submitted to the con- tractors for estimates-J ournal- Miner
