DOUGLAS. Jan. 2.-(Speciai.)- John D. Dowdie returned Monday svening from Safford. in the Gila val ley. where he went ten days ago for the purpose of buying horses to be used in a new livery business which he is getting ready to start at Cana nea. Yesterday he stated that horses have never before in Arizona been worth as much money as they are to- day. He paid from s100 to $150 each for fifteen head Mir Dowdie lived for many years in the Giia valley and, knowing that the Monnons of that valley were breeders of good stock. went there to buy some of the horses required for his Cananea stable.
 @The Gila valley is in prime condi- tion at the present time" said MT. Dowdle The farmers for the past two years have had an abundance of water with which to irrigate their crops and the yield has been encr nous.

IMMENSE GATES FOR ROOSEVELT
 RESERVOIR
Are On the Ground and Ready To Be Installed As Soon As the Water Permits Con- struction Work.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Jan. 2.-"The
 great gates for the Roosevelt dam,
 Salt River irrigation project, Arizona, are on the ground and ready to be in-
 stalled as soon as the water permits" 1" said Mir. Louis c. Hill of the U. 8.
 Reclamation Service this morning
 MT Hill. who is Supervising Engineer
 for Arizona and Southern California, is h the Washington office for a few
 days on business. The Salt River
 project in Arizona, which is now in
 course of construction, is already
 world famous for it's wonderful engin-
 eering features and the new and
 unique devices which have been in
 troduced. The gates, which are to be
 installed in the tunnel driven around
 the dam for the purpose of regulating
 the flow from the reservoir in accord
 ance with the needs of the irrigators in the valley some 70 miles below,
 were designed by Engineer F. H.
 Teichman.
 fThere are six gates" said Mir. Hill.
 arranged in pairs, so that it is nee essary for two gates to fail at once in order to prevent the operation of the system. Each gate covers an opening about 5x10 feet and operates under a pressure of about SOC, o,0o0 pounds. They are the largest gates in the world operating under 8 head
 that anywhere near approaches this figure.
 "On account of the salt contained in the water it has been necessary to make all faces in contact and the roll 1 CTS on which the gate operates of t.f fr Ap rfYc f1f o | enormous pressure. A large number of experiments were made to deter mine a bronze Of suitable composition After the composition had been SC lected 1t was necessary to increase it's strength by hammering the face under a heavy steam hammer.
 "A unique lifting devce for operat 1 ing the gates was designed by o. H Ensign, electrical expert. It consists of hydraulic cylinders operating undei a pressure of 700 pounds per square inch. the operating mechanism beins handled from the power house seyera I hundred feet from the gates by mean! of electric motors operating the nee | essary valves. The position of th' gates at any time Is indicated to tn. nearest inch by an indicating deyic' at the switch board in the power house, SC that at any time by gianc' at the indicator the superintendent il charge can tell the position of tn
 gates and the quantity of water flow I ing through.
 These gates were manufactured b | the Llewellyn Iron Works, Los Ange lies, California. shipped by rail | Mesa. and then hauled by wagons 6 miles to the dam large number c pieces weigh from 16.o00 to 20,oO pounds, and special wagons were neS
 essary to transport them. It was ner
 essary to use f6 to 22 animals n orde to haul these loads up the neaY grades.

EARLY HISTORY OF TOMBSTONE

DOUGLAS. Jan. 2.-(Special.) )-
 The following article concerning Tombstone WAS written from that city hy the special correspondent of the Hl Paso Herald:
 When Edward L. Schiefelin, the eiscoverer of this famous mining camp, was prospecting in this section in the spring of 1S77-then compara- lively unknown and unexplored region and so infested with the murederous Apaches that few prospectors had the courage to como bere-he found plenti- fal evidences of mineral wealth. In the spring of the following year he started out to prospect the Mule mountains and as his expedition was considered a very hazardous one Sehieffelin was advised ito take his tombstone with him.' Undaunted and iR the firm belief hat great deposits of the precious metals would be found he started from the Huachuca noun tains to cross the valley and prospect the Mule mountains: making his<gay along between the hills he camped the first night near small rivulet of water among the granite boulders about seven miles east of the river. His enterprise and courage were re warded by finding heavy outcrop of rich ore oH the very surface of the ground on the claim which he had staked on and called the Dougnut. Re turning to the settlements with his samples he persuaded his brother. Al bert, and Richard Gird to join him in locating and working other claims.
 This discovery and the spiendid re- suits of mining operations have made in. 7rfo ,aF mining The discovery of these rich silver and gold mines just as the fame of the Comstock and Virginia City fselds was dying out brought thous snds of miners and seekers after wealth to Tombstooe. Within four years after the discovery over 1000 claims had been located Mines were opened in all directions. the hills were dotted with hoisting works, the great est activity prevailed and city of 12,0f0 inhabitants Sprang up. The camp boomed and prospeTed. The ores were exceedingly rich in gold and silver. running s100 average to the ton, and the tailings s25 per ton. All machinery and supplies. when the town started, were hauled overland from Yuma. then the terminus of the Southern Pacific road, teams of oxen AhE l4te hibSOalA Aidfc AHtulSQiuS l4c motive power.
 The unfortunate flooding of the mines, the first water being struck in the Salphuret shaft and shortly af- ter in others. and inability to clear the mines; failure to consolidate the plants to Hnwater the mines, and dis agreements of the management of the different properties to share in the ex- fn fhn rnf h2tr practically abandoned. With the mines ososed down and the prospects of them remaining closed, all the old timers sought homes and business else where. The town which had grown so marFelously from pothing to city of many thousand entered into a per iod of decline.
