ANXIOUS SEARCH
 FOR AGED WANDERER Whipple Soldiers, Officers and Citizens of Prescott, Arizp
 Searching.

Although four Deputy Sheriffs, six cavalrymen from Fort Whipple, and a number of citizens. headed by Jud Neil, an experienced nlountaineer and trailer, spent an entire day in search of Thomas Nice, who wandered away from the home of Farrell Tiernan, on Virginia street, several days ago, no trace of the missing man had, up to a late hour last night been found, says the Prescott Journal-Miner.
 The old gentleman, who is I2 years of age, is thought to be mentally un- balanced. and owing to his extreme age, it is not likely that he could stand the hardships of exposure to the cold, hence much anxiety is felt by his relatives for his safety. The missing man is a brother of Mrs. Jane Tlernon, and an uncle of the late Joseph r. Herman.
 A thorough search of the Point or Rocks district has been made as well as the Duke ranch and Granite Dells, but no clue to his whereabouts nas been discovered. The search, which was kept up during the early part of the night, through the mountain fast nesses surrounding Granite Dells, will be resumed this morning, when sev' eral friends of the Tiernan family will join the parties now in the field.

IRON AND STEEL
Prices Continue Firm and High, with Much Buying of Iron for Second
 Half.

Producers of iron and steel have market conditions wholly in their fla vor. Prices for iron to be delivered during the first half of the year are practically on a spot delivery basis, and there Is a large amount of con tracting for the third and fourth guar ters in progress.
 Taking into account the fact that production is now going on at the rate of 27,000, ,000 tons year, and that con suming demand evinces disposition to absorb all the quantity and more, the outlook for activity in the trade during the year 1907 is exceedingly favorable.
 It is stated that the big interest which control the iron deposits of the lake region are making preparations to bring forward 40,000,000 tons of ore, an unprecedented amount, during the open navigation season on the lakes
 Figures regarding iron imports for the year in view of the immense do- nestle output, are astonishing. Im- ports of the various raw materials used in the manufacture of steel eclipsed all records last month, when almost 1S5,000 tons were brought in through New York and other Eastern seaboard points. Compared with the shipments arriving in November the December imports show the heaviest increase in pig iron, of which almost 55 900 tons came in from aboard last month. - ....
 In the same month of 1905 condi- tions were reversed. as close to 20.- 900 tons of American pig iron were exported. The December import ton mage in pig iron was the largest in any one month in five years. The imports of iron ore were also especially heavy last month, the tonnage being bigger than in any one month since 1902. The December imports marked the first introduction of Egyption iron ore, the shipments from Cuba having hereto fore largely supplied the demand.
 The imports of fineshed material were also well above the average last month, and included several lots of steel biIlets which were originally shipped from this side to England. The December imports also show the arrival of about 1000 tons of steel wire rods from Sweden, and 1282 tons of rails from Belgium.
 ' The total imports of iron ore last year were 1,096.226 tons. The pig iron imports, including spiegeleisen, were 360,534 tons. Foreign scrap iron and steel arrivals amounted to 20, 452 tons, and 34..359 tons of bar iron was imported. The wire rod imports made a total of 17,S61 tons, while 2S.42O tons of steel blooms and biilets were sent here to help satisfy the enormous demand.
 Statistics just compiled show that the pig iron production of the United States last year was greater than the combined output of Great Britian, Germany and France, more than 25'- 100000 tons having been made on this side. ia 'rl <

REORGANIZATION IF RONQU|LLO-
 ON FOOT
Lugoff Leaves for East With Intention of Organizing a
 Company to Take Over the
 Cananea Properties.

If plans which have been formulated are carried out, new copper mining company will be organized in the east
 within the next few weeks. and the Ronquillo and Swansea properties in the Cananea District will be operated by the new organization. N. E. Lug of, the local broker left for the east last evening to attend to the details of organizing the company. About a week ago N. E. Lugoff en- l tered into a contract with NJ. J. Gun ningham and P. J. Tenancy, the own CTS of a majority of the stock in the ! Ronquillo Copper company. by the terms of which agreement Lugohf is allowed a certain period of time where in to organize a new company, and take over the holdings of the old company by purchasing stock, on ! which only part payment has been made.
 The Ronquillo Copper company was organized under the laws of the Ter ritory of Arizona a little over a year ago. with capitalization of S1,000, GOO divided into 100000 shares, at a par value of S1: $19O.O0O has been paid in on the stock of the Ronqillo com pany, and at the present time Lugoff has an option on majority of the stock, and a meeting of the stockhold- CTS will be held in this city on the last day of the present month, at which time it is expected the minor ity stockholders will be given an op- tion on their stock at the same figure.
 Messrs. Cunningham and Tehaney thought 1t advisable to reorganize the company, and for that reason gave the option on their stock.
 When seen just before leaving for the east last evening Lugoff said:
 "F have received a report from my engineer on the property which is very favorable. and I think the new company will be organized very short ly"
 The Ronuuilo and Swansea proper ties lie right in the heart of the Cana nea dist.~> and only a short distance from the Cobre Grand shaft of the Cananea Consolidated Copper Com pany, and both have been reported on very favorably at different times.

WORK ON RAILROAD HAS ACTUALLY BEGUN rt 70 .a RightS-of- Way Are Secured and Buildings On It Are
 Being Moved, s.

YUMA, Ariz., Jan. 23-The actual work on the San Diego-California rail road has begun at San Diego by se- curing rights-of-way in that city amounting to s250,000, and beginning the removal of more than 150 build inss from the surveyed route. The work of removing the buildings will consHne three months. atEthe end of winch time the road will have a clear right-of-way to the city limits. A. Surveyors under the charge of CEef Engineer J. Kallright. of the ratITacc55 cor:rany, are at present at Jscumba Pass, where it is generally supposed the road will cross and en- ter the desert section of the route.
 The surveying party, commencing work within month of the announce ment that the road was to be built is an indication of determination on the part of the companyst to rush con struction work as rapidly as possible. Ordinarily work is delayed in the se- curing of right of way for many months, but in this case legal mat ssrs are being dispatched with sur prising rapidity.
 The company is starting work with one eye on the future, following the example of other railroad companies which are planting trees by the thou sands to be used as railroad ties in the future. The company has or dered several thousand trees to be planted along the route, and as be- ginning three thousand are to be set out at once. -.... ..-..-...

ROSA CASTALINO WAS
 FAMILIAR WITH MEXICAN
A Son Tells of Reason Why the Father Was Forced 10
 Leave Home.

Charging Rosa Catilino with undue relations with a Mexican, the other side of a divorce suit filed by her against her husband, c. Catalina. has been told by a son, Frank Catalina,
 roulette dealer at the Hermitage sa. loon. In relating the cause of the action for divorce, he said:
 Last summer my father came home and found a Mexican in his bedroom with Rosa. They were playing man dolin. My father asked permission to play it, when she told him he was not wanted there. He went to an. other room and procured a shotgun, and, returning. fired at the Mexican. The Mexican was struck in the face. He was so badly wounded it was neces- sary for him to be taken to the hospi. tai at Tombstone.
 While the Mexican has been con- fined in the hospital she has made sew eral trips to see him, I understand. Her statement that she does not know where he is at the present time is false. She does know.
 After my father shot the Mexican he was arrested and arraigned before Justice Mcdonald, at Douglas. Mir Mcdonald dismissed the case. saying he was perfectly justified in shooting. My father is now at Grand Junction, Colorado, and she knows where he Is. After my father was dismissed he willed all his property to the children He has considerable property in Doug las, and she wants to get hold of 1t" Frank Catalina charges Rosa Cata- limo, his stepmother. with the down. fall of two of her daughters. He says she is evidently trying to get posse sion of the property which his father has accumulated from hard work. The father was machinlst in Douglas | for several years.

ROOSEVELT GETS
 THANKS FOR RELIEF
(Continued from Page 1.)

found him living with his family in tents; he was accompanied to the city by the governor. On the same afternoon. at the request of the gov ernor. the men were withdrawn from the shore and returned to their ships.
 'The action of Admiral Davis in landing, under the circumstances, is not without precedent, there being nu- merous cases to justify it, one of which was the action of Rear Admiral R. W. Meade, of the United States navy, in landing men at Port of Spain, Trinidad. to suppress a fire.
 The presence of the vessels of the Atlantic fleet at Guantanamo, only 130 miles rom Kingston.at Ine time of the earthquake, placed us in a position for giving quickly first aid, and our ex- perience in the San Francisco earth quake showed the need of sufficient police protection and the great 'henefits which result from the use of naval forces in such emergencies. The commander-in-chief acted promptly, and sent immediately the vessels hay ing the greatest number of men and supplies, and offered much help in the way of medical attention and food, which action was further helped by the department dispatching two store ships, laden with large quantities of food supplies, intended for the fleet, and which were diverted to be sent to Kingston.
 At the time of the request by the acting minister at Havana for tents for the sufferers a Kingston, Admiral Davis had on board the vessels under his command for several days prior thereto, as many tents as were asked for, and which were available for use had the governor desired. The re maining ships at Guantanamo had more than POO tents of the kind asked for-many more than were actually needed to supply the wants, all of which could have been obtained by Davis from Admiral Evans on request by wireless within few hours"

CONSTABLE GRAY IS ARRESTED
 AT LOWELL
Charged With Grand Larceny By Man Whom He Arrested. He Alleges Conspiracy on Part of Complainant.

A sensation was sprung in Lowell when Constable o. P. Gray of that precinct was placed under arrest charged with grand larceny by James E. Mcdonald. who he had arrested several days previously for using vul- gar and profane language on the streets of that suburb. The case will come to trial before Justice Hogan this afternoon at o'clock.
 On or about January 15, Constable Gray arrested Mcdonald early in the evening on a charge of using vulgar and profane language on the street, and afterwards permitted him to go on furnishing bail in the sum of sI0 cash. Later in the evening he again arrested Mcdonald on a similar charge, and on the following morning the defendant was arraigned before Justice Grier, and pleaded guilty to the charge.
 On Wednesday Mcdonald came to charging the officer with grand lar ceny, alleging that when he arrested him the constable had taken S20 from him, and since that time had refused to return the money.
 Constable Gray was arrested by one of the local constables. and on appearing before the justice pleaded not guilty to the charge. and his case was set for preliminary hearing al ? o'clock this afternoon. As it is 2 fel- ony charge the district attorney is ex- pected to arrive in the city today to conduct the prosecution.
 When seen by a representative of the Review, and asked concerning the matter, Constable Gray said:
 This charge against me Is abso- lutely without foundation, and l have not the slightest fear but that at the hearing I will be able to clear myself of every trace of suspi- cion in connection with the matter.
 "I arrested this man in Lowell sev- eral days ago for using vulgar and profane language on the streets, and as he did not want to go to jail allow ed him to go on $l0 cash bail. Of this SlO he furnished five himself and had a saloon man stand good for -Re re. mainder. Later in the same evening the mans conduct again became of- fensive, and again arrested him, and put him in jail, as he did not furnish bonds.
 "On the following morning the case was tried before Judge Grier, and at first the man pleaded not guilty, but later asked to amend his pleading and pleaded guilty.
 This is absolutely a conspiracy, and I think that any one who would con slider the matter will see how easy it is to make such charge"
 The following were summoned yes terday as witnesses for the prosecu- tion: Charles Williams, Gus Lager feldt. Thomas Connors and Robert Seagell. As witnesses for the de- fense Harvey Hughes and T. Lenihan were summoned.

ALASKA AS A GOLD PRODUCER

Alaska has forged steadily to the front in the matter of gold production, | the output jumping from S14,925.0O0 | in 1905 to S21, ,251 100 in 1906, a clear
 increase of S6.316,0O0 for the year. Alaska took first place in the matter ! of increase, Nevada coming second with an increase of s45O0,00O. Col orado shows a loss of s2,9O0,000. and California's loss amounts to $564, 900. Colorado's total production for the year was S22.711 200. or only $1,460,- i 100 greater than Alaska's total. while
 California's total of SIS, 8,633, 300 was | S2, ,617 200 less than Alaska's.N
 Thus Alaska in kits, as 1t were,
 with oDiy the surface of a vast, varied and fertile area scratched In spots, has pressed forcibly to the fore as
 a producer of the yellow metal. And this Is merely the beginnIng in the
 career of the productive colossus which projects firm the northwest
 corner of the American map. Even the widest dreams of avarice have but vaguely guessed the possibilities of wealth which lie in the country to 1 the north.
 The suggestion has been made by those who know little or Alaska's pos
 abilities that the territory may soon reach the limit of its productive ca ! pacity, so far as gold is concerned. Each years record has contradicted this suggestion. Besides, there Is 1 IAlaska's enormous untouched area to reckon with. Alaska contains 577, ,39O
 square miles, or 359 ,5Z9, 500 acres. Three states and a half tbe size of
 California, or nearly five states, the
 size of Colorado could De carved out
 of this area Some time must elapse
 before the annual yield of the north
 ern country reaches anything like the
 maximum of it's possibilities.
 For more than haIr a century the
 gold resources. of California have
 been exploited; the yield has sur. passed the dreams of the Forty-nin-
 CTS. For quarter of century Colo
 rado's resources have been steadily
 drawn upon Yet, the yellow metal
 of these states is still produced in
 paying quantities. In the presence of
 these facts isn't 1t stupid to suggest that Alaska's production of gold is nearing the limit? The fact is, Alas ka, while now at the head Of the list as a gold producer, as suown py the
 increase of 1906, Is yet merely at the beginning of wealth-producing ca reer which will probably amaze those
 who have given little or no study to
 the country and It's immense possi- bilities.-Seattle PostIntelligencer.
