weapon. The sight Of a Quaker with a gun in his
hand, cooked and ready for use. was enough to
demonstrate that he would shoot If necessary.
The Negroes were landed, and the terms of
settlement decided upon by the Friends meeting
were carried out the letter. The fifty thousand

RAMIREZ FORGERY CASE
REACHES SUPREME COURT
Former NosaIes Brokers' Struggle
Against His Return to Sonora.

Attorney S. NJ. Franklin of Tucson
came to town yesterday to bring the
case of Eduardo Ramirez before the
supreme court. Ramirez was former
ly a broker at Nogales. Sonora, and in
that way connected with the customs
house there. He was arrested not long
ago on a complaint sworn out before n
court of Sonora charging him with
forgery of railroad certificates in re-
lation to the weight of wheat imported
into Mexico from this country. 1t is
charged that these forgeries were COM
mitted between August 10 and August
30. 1905. and that they resulted in pro-
fits to Ramirez and his associates of
more than $1,000.
At the time of the beginning of pro-
ceedings against Ramirez he was on
this side of the line and his extradi
ton was sought under Article 2, sec
ton Z of the treaty between the United
States and Mexico. The matter was
brought before Judge Campbell who
issued a warrant for the arrest of Ra-
mirez and he was taken into custody
and is now in the custody Of United
States Marshal Daniels.
Relief for him is sought in a writ of
habeas corpus which is applied for on
various grounds One of them is that
the complaint on which he has been
arrested did not confer jurisdiction on
the court. 1t is also contended that
no specific evidence was introduced as
to the crime with which Ramirez is
charged and that in fact there was no
evidence before the court except de-
positions and copies of papers relat-
ing to the proceedings in the Sonora
courts. Chief Justice Kent directed
the writ to issue and made it return
able on May %.
At the same time there was an APP
plication for a writ OF certiorari on
the same grounds This was issued
and made returnable on the same date.

A BRASS" MINE
A! TORIIllA FLATS
A Late Discovery Which is Accusing
the Interest Of Local Mineralosists.

There has been a great deal Of quiet
excitement among local mining men
over the discovery at Tortilla Flats
OF a supposed brass" mine. Brass
mines have for a long time been re-
garded as jokes to be worked off on
the extremely ignorant who do not
know that brass is not a natural but
a manufactured product. Yet brass de-
posits have been found, not very fire.
quently of course but still they have
been found. Dana the geologist men
tons several discoveries of this kind
one of them in the Catalina mountains
of Pima county. Before the art OF
making brass was discovered the an
clients used a metal called orichalcum
or natural brass.
Natural brass is after all no more
of a chemical wonder than natural
copper. The latter is a result of
smelling by nature while the former is
the result of the smelling of two kinds
of ore at the same place copper and
zinc and fusing their products.
This discovery was made in the
course of hunt for water. Water had
been secured by means of a rock dam
but the supply giving out it was de-
cided to sink a we'll. 1t was sunk
through what was found to be a tufa
overflow when at a depth of ten or
twelve feet what is believed to be a
prehistoric gravel bed was encounter
ed
Water was secured and a pump was
put in. Soon after that a bright flakey
metal was noticed in the water brought
up by the pump and il was at first
thought to be gold. There was consid-
cradle excitement in consequence and
a quantity of the stuff was brought to
Phoenix to be assayed. ]. A. Porterie
has made several assays and has dis
covered only the constituent elements of
brass-copper and zinc with a trace of
silver.
Some steps have been taken to in
stall a centrifugal pump though per-
haps with little hope of substantial
reward however much of the product
of natures foundry might be discov-
cred. Brass can be manufactured for
not more than ten cents a pound and
a great deal of brass is made for much
less than that.
The discovery is therefore of only
scientific interest. Nature has been
caught doing one of those things she
seldom does.
The water bearing gravel was not
found in a place where ii might have
been expected but still that is not an
unusual thing for these beds of pre-
historic streams or rivers are some
times found high up on mountain sides
where they have been lifted by ire
mendous CONFUSION. In this case
there was probably such CONFUSION
and the heat which spread the layer
of tufa over the gravel was perhaps
the same which smelted the copper
and zinc ores and fused the metals.

back to the alley will have a press
and a storage room in the basement
reached by freight elevator
the storage room being for
the accommodation of a reserve
supply of roll paper, which is now a
part of the business that needs great
deal of attention. The other apart
ments of the building will be worked
out in greater detail later, but the
plant will be thoroughly up to date In
every respect. 1t may be mentioned
though in passing that the job depart
ment will also be given commodious
quarters and all modern improve
ments.
The location may appeal to some as
being a little out of the business GEN.
ter, but these things have been given
mature thought and that criticism is
believed to be not well founded. 1t
will be but a block away from the
largest drygoods and furnishing stores
and but a half block from the Noble
block now under construction. The
city must grow and it is believed that
by the time the paper gets in its new
quarters il will be hemmed in by bust
ness activities on every hand.
1t Is recalled that when The Repub-
lican moved into its present quarters
the location was then believed to be
"out in the country and the new To-
cation will only be a block and the
width of a street to the east of the
present site, and no further from
Washington street. Ten years ago
when The Republican moved to its
present site there was nothing on
Adams street in the way of business
property. except the Leland hotel, just
across the street Even the Hotel
Adams was then only planned and not
yet constructed. Today almost this
entire street from the Republicans
new corner, for four blocks to the west
is built up. There are but two or
three vacant lots and it is believed
they will soon be occupied. while the
constructions and planned structures
now under way will be an incentive to
hasten the development of business
along Adams street Ten years ago
the building now occupied by this pa
per had become a vacant property. the
old Ivy Green restaurant and a butch
er shop each having lived out its day
and gone the way of all things earthly.
Even the site of the present postof-
flee was considered suburban property
Today Adams street is playing a close
second to Washington street as a bust
ness center and in short time it is
believed one street will be considered
as central as the other.
To be in the center of action has al
ways been motto of the paper and its
unbounded confidence in the future of
this city and valley forces the convic-
ton that its choice of a lot is just
about the thing it has been looking for
for a long time. While the new build
ing and plant will not disturb the
forces of nature or change any plan
etary action, and will not be quite so
large and imposing as the big metro
poiitan papers. it is the purpose of the
management to make it equally as
complete and as large as the needs of
this growing country will demand,
perfect in every facility and in a posi-
ton TO expand as its patronage shall
make desirable. Phoenix is growing
and The Republican is growing. Both
are in the vigor of youth and propose
TO keep pace with father time for
generation or so anyway.

GOOD coNvERsATIoNALIsTs


To be a good conversationalist you
must be spontaneous, buoyant, natur-
al, sympathetic, and must have g
spirit of good will. You must feel a
spirit of helpfulness, and must enter
heart and soul into things which in
terest others. You must get the at
tention of people and hold it by in
teresting them, and you can only in
terest them by a warm sympathy
a real, friendly sympathy. If you are
cold, distant, and unsympathetic you
cannot get their attention.
To be a good conversationalist you
must be broad, tolerant. A narrow
stingy soul never talks we'll. A man
who is always violating your sense OF
taste, of justice, and of fairness, new
er interests you. You lock tight all
the approaches to your inner self,
every avenue is closed to him, and
when they are closed, your magnet
ism and your helpfulness are cut off,
and the conversation is perfunctory,
mechanism, and without life or feel
ing.
You must bring your listeners
close to you, must open your heart
! wide, and exhibit a broad free ma
ture, and an open mind. You must
be responsive, so that a listener will
throw open every avenue of his ma
ture and give you free access to his
heart of hearts.

MAKING THE ONO NAvIGABLE.


The Ohio river will be made navi-
gable even if it takes 6S dams and
locks to do it, said the u. S. Gov
eminent. That was about a genera
ton ago, and much higgling by the
different sections of the country af-
fected by the suggested improve
ments has resulted in seriously ham,
pering the purpose of congress, ac-
cording to ]. r. Schmidt, who tells
about Making the Ohio Navigable,"
in the Technical World Magazine for
December. But the appropriation by
congress of over a million dollars for
the construction of one dam alone,
the Fernbank dam near Cincinnati,
finally gave definite shape to the
work kof making the river navigable
for 1900 miles. The work on this
dam is about half done, and five other
dams + partially completed. The
Importance and national character of
this work may be better understood
when it is known that Pittsburg coal
shipped down the Ohio last year was
destined for Japan, to be used by the
Mikado's fleet in its fight against Rus
STA. The Ohio is the natural highway
Middle West, but has heretofore been
nayigable for only four months in the
year. When the Fernbank dam is
completed, the river will be naviga-
BILE as far down as Cincinnati all the
year round. With the improved river
it is estimated that the cost of trans
p~ortation will be reduced about one
half. ,,sN
