.HE|NZE MAY HAVE
 HELvET|A MINE
Believed in Tucson that Heinze Inter ests Have Secured Control of Largest Mine in Pima County-Known that Representatives Are in Vicinity.

That the Heinze interests have se- cured control of the property of the Helvetia Copper company was the re- port which reached this city yesterday and the authority for the statement is very reliable, says the Star.
 It has been known for several days that representatives of the Heinze in- terests have been inspecting the prop erty and consequently the news that controlling interest in the property had been secured by the big Montana mag, nate did not come as an absolute sur. prise to those who were on the inside.
 The Helvetia is one of the best known in the entire county. More than mil. lion dollars has been expended in its development and excellent showings have been made. There have been nu- merous shipments of ores which totaled far into the thousands, but the owners of the property continued most of their efforts to development work.
 From what can, be learned the chief owners of the property are MT. Payne

MARS INHABITED
 DECIDES LOWELL
Arizona Astronomer Now in London E Certain that Planet Has Population of Intelligent People Recent Discov- cries Support His Contention.

Professor Lowell, who is in charge of the observatory at Flagstaff, and who is now making a tour of Europe, has made the positive declaration that there is life in Mars.
 In answer to question from the edi- tor of Nature, scientific paper pub lished in London, England, for an au- thoritative statement of the observa- tions of Mars made during the 1907 op- position, Professor Lowell replied, ac- cording to a London dispatch, that there have been 1.-two or three most impor- tant results obtained.
 He declares that the planet is at pres ent the abode of intelligent constructive life
 Professor Lowell says:
 "The next point has been the ob served development of the canal system in the antartic and south temperate zones. After the melting of the south polar cap had got well under way can als began to make their appearance about it, running thence down the disk. Then the canals left it's edge and joined the rest of the systems in the lower lat itudes.
 "Those on the south, such as Am brosia and Bathys, were darker and more pronounced than those running north, Tithonius, for instance, which showed evidence of being in its dead or skeleton condition, while the former were in the full tide of development.
 Meanwhile, the equatorial canals were steadily fading out. The process of evolution was in keeping with the method of development found here for the northern canals in 1903. In fact, it is of the nature of prophecy full filled and not only supports previous observations, but proves the theory de dueed from them to have been correct It is a direct sequitur from this that the planet is at present the abode of intelligent and constructive life. <"

GREAT RESULTS
 OF IRRIGATION
lContinued from Page onel

NtOutlHueU rom rage One)
 the national government must have 2 profound and far-reacbing influence up- on the general subject of irrigation throughout the country. It will tend powerfully to the extension of irriga. tion into the portions of the country which have hitherto relied largely upon rainfall in the cultivation and growing of crops. There is no more important subject for the consideration of farm CTS in many of the humid and semi-hu- mid regions than that of so-called sup plemental irrigation. We must prepare more and more for the increased de- mand upon our food suply which comes with the multiplying millions of our population. Therefore, the development of the subject of irrigation is of inter est, not only to the farmers of these great western regions, but to the farm CTS and consumers everywhere.
 We do substantial and permanent service to our country by enlarging the area unto which men and women may come from the eongested eenters and find occupation for their energies and homes for their heads. Let man own piece of ground which he may culti- vat6 put him into partnership with na- ture and it will intensity his love of country and make him more stable, conservative and patriotic citizen. In crease the home builders and the home owners of the republic and you augment it's real, abiding strength.
 The development of the reclamation service in this western country means the increase of migration hither of many desirable citizens. It means that in good time many immigrants who other wise would settle upon the Atlantic seaboard will come here and avail them selves of the opportunities which are to be found in this vast region where na- ture' s bounties afford an ample and inviting field. It is in our economic and our national interest that more of them should come into the Pacific states and aid you in the great work of build ing up your agriculture and your trade and in creating here q splendid, pro gressive civilization.
 One of the most promising things in the extension of irrigation is the dcvel-

of the big firm of Payne, Webber & Co.,, and Mir. Pillsbury, the millionaire flour manufacturer of Minneapolis. These men, together with other capital ists of lesser note, have put up the money for the development of the prop erty.
 At the camp there is narrow gauge railroad, several miles in length, and a shelter of two hundred tons capacity. This shelter has been in operation for some time, but was closed down owing to the fact that there was shortage of fuel.
 A few days ago big strike was made in q tunnel between the Copper World and the Isle Royalc shafts. These are the two main workings on the property.

JEROME
IS RETIRING

SAN FRANCISCO, February 12.-
Aftear forty-two years service with the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company H. A.
Jerome, purser of the big liner Siberia
is retiring. He will make an extend
ed trip to the East and seek rest from
the labors that have been performed
in the company's service for more than
a generation
Jerome's record with the Pacific Mail
is beyond reproach. Years ago he was
connected with the agencies at Hong
kong and Manila, and he has been pur-
ser on the best of the liners running
from here to the Asiatic coast. His
superior ability has always made him
valuable to the Pacific Mail Company,
and men who have been associated
with him speak in praise of Jerome.
He is, by the way, a cousin of Dis
trict Attorney Jerome of New York
city now handling the prosecution in
the Thaw case.

There is an absence Of dirt which is most
noticeable when compared with their con

Americans, but credit should be given the
Cubans. also. for their conduct Of mu-

Havana Is now prosperous city. The
