Col. H. |. Pickett
 Visiting Phoenix

The following article is from the Phoenix Gazette:-
 Colonel H. L. Pickett of Tom bstone, one Of the leading attorneys of the territory and dyed-in-the-wool Ari- zona booster. is in Phoenix on legal business before the supreme court. Colonel Pickett represents his home city in the case of the city of Tomb stone vs. the Huachucs Water com pany, one of the most importsn. causes to be heard at the January term. The colonel is very enthusiss- tic over the future of Tombstone and the tributary country. Speaking to a Gazette representative, the colonel said:
 "TOmbstone is better town right now than 1t has been for years and getting better right along. We esti- mate that we now have a population of fully 25 Q and this number is con- stsntly growing larger. There Is prac. ticslly not an empty house in the town.
 "The Tombstone Consolidated is at present working a force of $50 men and has . two hundred ton cyanide plant in operation, but it is rumored that tile capacity of the plant will be doubled in the near future.
 "All things considered we of Tomb stone have little to complain of and much to be thankful for in a business way"
 In speaking of the suit against the water company. which he is here to argue, Colonel Pickett said that its importance to the city could not be overestimsted.
 "In case the company is allowed to discontinue the operation of its plant and to remove its pipes from the streets Tombstone would be in a bad way for water supply for some time to come and it is this contingency that the city is trying to guard against"

Prof. Lowell and
 the Planet Mars

Arizona has the honor of affording noted astronomer, Prof Percival Lowell, who lives ID Boston, an op. portuni'y oi making the greatest as- tronomicsl discovery of the century Prof. Lowell spent years in this terri tory at Flagstaff, studying the plane tary bodies and patiently evolving a systematic map of the planet Mars The result of this tabor he has com. piled into book form and it is ac- cepted by the scientific world as the true conditions existing on maps. After eisborstely treating in his book of the canal on Mars, this learned man ssys:
 "Girding Mars and stretching from pole to pole, the Martian canal system not only embraces their whole world, but it is an organized entity. Each canal joins another, which in turn connect with third, and so on over the entire surface of the plsLet. This continuity of construction proves a community of interest, and when we consider that though not SO large as the earth. Mars is 42oo miles in di- smeter, and contains about 2l2 ,0Oo 900 square miles, the significance of the unity of this system can at once be seen. The supposed vast enterprises of the earth are dwarfed in compari- son."
 One of the things he asserts, that makes Mars of such transcedent in- te est to us is the foresight it affords us of the course earthly evolution is to pursue. On our own world we are only able to study our past and pres ent; in Mars we are able to glimpse our future.
 Whatever conclusion is drawn how ever, it stands to reason to believe that Mars is inhabited by intelligent men, who utilize the natural condi- tions existing there. That the men of this earth will ever be able to com- municate with them, however, does Tot seem likely. God does not seem to have intended it, or the smart men of that planet would have already found means-that is, if they are as high above us ss Prof. Lowell seems to think they are.
