City Authorities After Saloon
keepers Who Leave Barrels
Standing on the Pavement.

Chief Burke yesterday notified the
saloon keepers that in the near future
they must not place their empty beer
kegs on the sidewalks. except at the
time when they are being collected by
the wagons of the brewing companies.
The police have received many COM
plants IN regard to this matter and in
each instance the saloon keeper was
told not to repeat the offense. The
chief has now issued a general noti-
fication and should any of the saloon
men break the rule, II is probable that
arrests will follow,
on nearly every street where there
Is q saloon. a pile of beer kegs on the
sidewalk is not an unusual sight, and
often the larger portion of the side
walk has been blocked with the
empty barrels. Mayor Bollschweiler
has also taken hand In the matter
and has notified the brewing compan-
les that their collections must be
made regularly, and that they must
not leave amy of their goods standing
on the sidewalks or streets. In the
central part Of the city the complaints
have not been so numerous, but May
or Bollschweiler said yesterday that
In front OF tie saloons run by foreign
ers. there is nearly always a pile OF
kegs and other matter.

INDIANS MUCH THE BEST
 WORKERS
Many Are Now Employed On Intake Work and More Are Being Imported From Flor ence and Tucson.

YUMA, ARIZ.,, Jan 10.-Arizona h. dians have been found the most sat is factory workers at the Intake, and fully 250 are now employed helping to stem the turbulent Colorado's CT ratio departures from it's rightful course. Pima Indians from near Florence and Papago Indians from Tucson have been imported, and still more are coming. The balance of the laborers are Mexicans, with the ex- ception of few Americans. Work is being rushed night and day at the h. take and the break will be filled as rapidly as possible. Althugh the break reached a width of from 800 to 1000 feet before 1t stopped cutting, no fur ther damage is being done to the le- wee, which seems exceptionally strong.
 The first two train loads of rock to be used in turning the Colorado riv-
 CT once more into it's old channel passed through Yuma Saturday. Each train had fully thirty cars-which is merely a beginning-for within a week. 300 cars a day will be shipped to the heading. The rock now comes from Patagonia, a distance of three hundred miles, but next week the quarry at Tacha, owned by the South ern Pacific company, will begin ship
 ping in rock and will probably furnish
 all the vast amount necessary to fill the demand at the heading. Every l carload is being weighed, and it is supposed that the Southern Pacific is endeavoring to systematize the work at the Intake in sucn a manner that l should the government see fit the ex- pense borne by the company may be easily liquidated.
 ] Saturday the first trestle across the l Intake was finished and everything is | in readiness to begin dumping rock this morning. Already the pile driv- CTS are at work sinking piles for an other trestle, and when that is in place a third will be added. From each of these thousands or tons of
 rock will be dumped, forming a dam
 so deep and powerful that against il
 the Colorado will spend its fury ir
 vain.
 Engineer Tom Hind will superin tend construction work on the new dam. but unlike the old Hind dam il
 will not be built upon willow mats The plan which proved so successful in stopping the Redwood channel that of simply dumping in huge quan titles of rock-will be relied upon.

CASE IS CLOSED.

The special session of the district court at Yuma has adjourned and the contest case. which gave promise of resulting in interesting disclosures, came to a quiet close with J. l.. Re dondo victorious. After all the votes were counted he was seven votes ahead instead of two, as when the bal lots were counted on November 6.
 Greenleaf received. according to the recount, 306 votes, and Redondo, 313. Twenty-one votes were thrown out, thirteen of which had been orig inally counted for Greenleaf and eight for Redondo.

County Statistics.-During the year just closed an idea of the volume of busineess transacted may be gained from the fact that 425 cases were heard or disposed of before Judge Doan in the district court, while 51 residents were made citizens. The sheriff collected total of s57,873 county revenues during the year. The assessor turned in $19,225 during the same period. Recorder Hare filed e4S5 instruments durin gthe year, col Electing $I2,055.15. This office, after paying all expenses, netted the county s7022.45. In the probate court 397 marriage licenses were issued and q insane patients committed during the year. The school superintendent re port shows a school attendance of 5573, an increase over the previous year of SS5 children. The cost of maintaining the schools for the year
 was sS0,S5O.S2. The estimated ex
 pense for this year is s100,000.

TASAvERI DISTRICT
 HAS RICH MINES pr. B, I. Hone Tells of His Trip Through Country
 Prospecting,

DOUGLAS, Jan. J. Dr. B. T. Hone, from Bavispe, So- nora, was recently a guest at the Roy hotel. The doctor has been min ing in Sonora for the past thirty years and, probably, is the largest owrer of mines and mining interests of sny person in that section of the country. He says that in the Tasa- verf district are some of the richest mines in the world; that hundred claims have been taken up there re- gently running heavily in gold, silver and copper. He says. also, that there are thousands of old Spanish work ings, and some of them that have
 been reclaimed are proving to be bo- nanzas.
 The country lies far away from a
 railroad at present, but when one reaches it the doctor says that it will
 be one of the most valuable in this land of rich mines. The Bavispe dis trict lies east of the Yaqui river, there called the Bayispe river. The land is rich and water, wood and fish are plenty. It is a wonderful fruit and agricultural region.
 It is in this section that the Dos CabeZas mine is located with a ledge of quartz from twensy 10 forty feet
 wide, producing almost fabulous sums 1 in gold and/silver. The company own ling this property is a close corpora tion and has little or no stock for sale l When asked about Indians the doc | tor said that there was very little truth in the awful tales about blood
 shed and massacre that were being 1 told; that it is just as peaceful there , as it is in Douglas without any use foI
 a gun or revolver. The people, he : said, are peaceful and industrious and 1 the land they inhabit paradise.

ARTIST MAKES DESIGNS
 FOR DOUGLAS '. MICA.
This Acts As a Great Crowd GetteY at That
 Institution.

DOUGLAS, Jan. 10.-(Special. J. The special artist of the Young Mems Christian association has been busy of late both on blackboard and card signs. Probably one of his best recent chalk designs appeared a day or so ago announcing the game of last evening between city team No. 2 and that of the Copper Queen smelter. One irreverent fellow did have the audacity to take the Queen shelter in the distance for a steamboat coming up the Agua Prieta river, but it was so very evident that he was a preju' diced fault-finder that he was hustled out in the cold, cold world forthwith.
 Probably as a direct result of the artists genius, there was a larger and more enthusiastic crowd on the alleys than usual, and the three games played between the rival teams were much enjoyed by all. Mir. Prath CT, of the city team, was the bright particular star of the last game, clos ing with a score of 160 to his credit MT. Cullen made the highest indiyid ual score for the shelter team, having to his score a credit of 150 in the third contest.

Huachuca Mining District,-There is, just at present, little attempt to revive interest in the Huachuca min ing district. There are many meri- torious propositions in the Huachucas but the district has been mercilessiy blacklisted by certain persons for cer- tain purposes. The same proposition applies 70 the Whetstones, where a six-inch ledge of solid bullion would attract no attention.

At the suggestion of a member of that body that a pc tition be presented to the board, car rying two-thirds of the taxpayers names in the precinct, a petition has been circulated and submitted with I0S signatures, including nearly every business man and taxpayer in the set tlement, and in the light thereof it is probable that the former action of the board establishing the road district will be sustained.

RattIesnakes as Food.-The fact is not generally known, but it is true that many Mexicans and Indians in Mexico eat rattlesnakes, and the rep tiles are considered unusually good food. They take great care, however, to see that the snake does not bite himself. The creature is killed sud. denly, it's head and tail cut off and body carefully skinned. It is then cut up, fried and eaten They also take big fat snakes and hang them in the sun and catch the oil that ex udes in a receptacle; 1t is said to be sure cure for rheumatism.
