Insurance Company
 Is Not Satisfied

E.P. Grindell, who is now in Tue son, does not believe that the re mains of his brother Tom Grindell, who headed an i'll lated party oi dIs- covery 10 Tiburon island, which left Nogaes in June, 1901, have been finallyfound.
 Grindell had made arrangements with Mexican officials that he was to receive word immediately sheuld the body of hi. brother be iourd. As yet he has received no official inform ation of any kind
 Grindells body is said to have been found on the coast oi Lower Califor. mia opposite Sonora. Itwas not sup. posed that he had left Sonora, and the finding of his body across the Gull of Lower California casts some doubt on the report.
 Should Tom Grindell's body be To- cated 1t will mean that his relative: can make good their claim to large amount of life insurance that he car ::ed Already E. ?. Grindell hsc spent much mere in searching than the insurance wifi amount to.

Coal Shortage
 Becoming Serious

Word was received this morning from Bisbee by telephone that the fuel famine which has for some time threatened that town has at last fallen in full force. Not alone are the mines inconvenienced by the lack of coal, but the city ss well, the message being to the effect that the Bisbee I'm provement company, which furnishes electrical power for many concerns, is closed down and may not be able to furnish power during the day. Lack of fuel is the cause assigned. The message while it bore gloomy news, held hope for the future e it stated that every effort was being made to get fuel into Bisbee for gen. eral use over the camp. The general public in that city may soon find themselves compelled to burn wood, of which there is a small reserve on hand, or go cold.
 Conditions in Tom bstene, while not alarming, at least give cause for speculation on the. outcome of the present crisis and it's effect on this section in general. Present conditions are chargable to the car shortage ex- isting over the country,

No Quarters to Be
 Extended the Yaquis

A special dispatch from Mexico City says that while official circles are slow to admit it, the Yaqui massacre reports from Sonora show the redsk T . are adding more scalps totheir record. President Disz does not hesitate to show his extreme displessure and planes the army officers and rurales for permitting the Yaquis to get such a start.
 The rurales are to be increased with 500 specials and . vigorous campaign is to be instituted against this treach- erous tribe of Indians.
 The orders to the Mexican soldiers and rursles are that no Yaquis are to be taken prisoners. No attempt is to be made to subdse the Yaquis or give them quarter, and every redskin cap. tured IS to be shot.
 A band of nearly 300 Yaquis ac- cepted terms from the Mexican gov ernment year ago, and were given an immense reservation in southern Mexico. It is said many of these en- gagged in the present depredstions are from this hand. A recent report says only one American has been killed but a half hundred Mexicans have fallen.

The Way the Jury
 Took the Situation

jury at Globe recently mistook itself for . referee of a duel. Two foreigners had engaged oy agreement in what was meant to be mortal com bat. One of tn m was tried on s charge of having fought duel. The evidence supported the charge. In fact, there was no doubt about the duel and its participants. The jury took no account of the alleged crime, but inquired into the fairness of the encounter and decided that it wac conducted according to the code. The defendant was therefore held blame- less. Without juries we would have hard time getting along in this world.

Tombstone in Grasp
 of a Fuel Famine

The fuel famine which seems to in
 vOlve this section is still very keenly
 felt in Bisbee, Tucson, Phoenix and other Arizona cities. In Tombstone the situation, while lar from easy, is not alarming and new supplies are looked for daily to relieve the demand of coal and oil for steam purposes. For domestic use the supply is sh Tt. Borrowdsle Bros. received carload of cord wood today and have advices of shipments of coal due to arrive within a few days. The McPherson Transfer also have advises of coal shipments on the road and it is thought Tombstone will escape any real famine, the present supply being calculated to tide over immediate requirements un- til car shipments arrive.

It wasn't a Missouri editor but 6
 printers devil who was going through
 his first experience on making up
 forms. The psp"r was late and the
 boy got the galley- mixed. The first part of the obituary nctice of pecun- ious citizen had been dumped in the forms and the next handful of tyre came of the galley describing e re- cent fire. It read like this: "The pail bearers lowered the body to the grave and as it was consigned to the flames there were few if any regrets, for the old wreck had been an eyesore to the town for years. Ofcourse there was individual loss, but that was fully covered by insurance" The widow thinks the editor wrote the obituary that way because the lsmented partner ,f her joys and sorrows owed him five rears' subscription. {

Following .he example set by most other railroads of the country, and By many other concerns doing busi. ness in the United States, the Fl Paso and Southwestern system on January lst raised the wages of all men of the operative department ei the road. The raise will affect conductors and brakemen alike, and viii be fiat m cresse of l5 per cent.
 Conductors have heret ofore receiv- ed $50 per month, and their salaries will therefore be Sl72.50 beginning with the first of the year. Trainmen on this road will thus be among the best paid of any railroad men in the United States.

Senator Penrose has intro dueed a measure in the Uni ted States Senate which per init the sealing of packages against inspection in the mails without increasing the rate of postage thereon. The blll provides that for the first ounce ofweight of a letteror a sealed parcel. the postage shall be as now. ? cents, but for every additional ounce or fraction of ounce, it shall be only l cent additional. This is a move in the right direc- ton and should be supple mented with a comprehensive scheme of parcels post such a. other nations enjoy and witl a raising of the limit of mai matter from four to twelv' pounds, so that others thai government officials locate, at Washington may have tn luxury of sending through tn postoffice packages weighin more than four pounds, be sides afiording competitio that will protect against at tempts at extortion by the e press companies.

What It Means
 to Have Money

Since MT. Roger and MT. Archbold
 have been quoted ss estimating the income of Jokn D. Rockefeller stsixty million a year, enterprising statis- ticians have been figuring out it's pos abilities.
 Capitalized at per cent, Rockefel- ler's wealth amounts to one billion two hundred million dollars. At the average wages paid in manufacturing establishments it would require the labor of ,, 2,250.O persons 8 year to earn that amount. Each time NIT. Rockefeller sleeps eight hours he awakes S54, ,720 richer
 II the things that can be purchased with money were not SO sadly linn ited-if one could buy health, happi- ness, real friendship, respect and honor, what a fortunate man Mir. Rockefeller would be.

Manufacture Alcohol
 From Arizona Cacti

Now comes the Tucson Star with
 information to the effect that experi-
 ments tried show that the cacti of the desert can be most proftsbly utilized in the manufacture of denatured alec. hol. Here is another wealth resource Arizona can press into service and thus manufacture her fuel from the plant life of the desert The prickly pear can be produced most luxurisntly without water, and 'tis said can be harvested annually for this purpose. It will be we'll if Arizons can utilize this for fuel resources The eIperi- ments tri d, it is said, have been high ly satisfactory, thus reducing the cost of alcohol below gasoline at least one half Let the industry be inaugurated at once on e email scale untilits value is ascertsined.

Immensity of
 The SaIton Sea

Ii the Colorado river continues to
 flow into the Salton sink of Lower California it will bring into existence
 an American dead sea that will te AS
 large as Lake Ontario, according to
 Louis c. Hill, supervising engineer cf
 the United States reclamation service
 for Arizona and southern Caliiornis, says the Washington Post. Mir. Hill
 is here to report on his investigations of the overflow.
 Already 450 square miles of the bed of the basin of what was once a salt sea have been covered by the water to a depth of sixty feet, and if the flow continues, 2,000 square miles will be covered to a depth of 270 feet" he continued.
 "Ages ago this sink contained a sea similar to the dead sea of Palestine, which was finally evaporated. How long it has remained a dry waste no J one knows. Not long sge I saw salt being mined from what is now the bed of the new lake. Nearly POO feet above is the shore of the ancient sea.
 "For a time the flow was stopped, but it began again, and now it threat ms 100, 900 acres of irrigated land, on which seven and eight crops of alfalfa nay be grown every year, and the lomes of 12,0OO people distributed mong many towns. It is destroying he possibilities of a land that would . lossom as the rose by irrigation ,ethods. As the water has torn down . :, to the sink, which is 200 feet below ! . ne level of the sea, it has made an |, Ter deepening ravine, until at present D le water falls from . height of eighty B ct and gives promise of creating .

Doings in the
 District Court
THURSDAY, JANUARY 5

THURSDAY, JANUARY 5
 The first matter taken up in court i today was the case against $ K Will | Hams. The attorneys for tre defense asked the privilege to have the plea of not guilty withdrawn so As to present a demurrer 10 the indictment. Special prosecutor Walter Kibbey objected to this but after some argument the court allowed the motion. The de- murrer was general one to the effect that the indictment did not allege facts sufficient to constitute a cause ot sction. The demurrer was over ruled in both cases, and a plea of not guilty to both indictments entered. The defense then asked for a continuance on the grounds of the absence. of Mrs. Porter. formerly Delta Myers. being A material witness and set forth same in lengthy affidavit. The prosecution objected and refused to admit the facts as true as to what she would testify, but frankly intima,ed that they expected to impesch her testi- mony. The was then ordered con tinued and will be the first to be tsk- en up at the coming April term of tn, court.
 An order for a special venire of fif- teen jurors was made returpable il the morning st 9:30.
 The case of the Territory vs s E Fisher will probably be the first on called. It is very doubtful fl tn Musso case will go to trial, as the de, fendsnt's attorney is getting ready t present a motion for a continuanc on the ground of the absence of ma terisl witness.

"To carry out my pledges to the voters of Msricops county as soon as soon as l can get recognition on the floor of the council, I will introduce a bill to prohibit gambling in all forms in Arizona"
 Eugene Brady O'Neill, democratic member-elect to the council for Mari cops county made that statement to the Phoenix Enterprise. Continuing further. he said:
 Il will introduce another bill, which will ask that the license for saloons | outside Of cities be not les. then si0O per year. By this law l hope to close the deadialls in the small mining camps.
 "ln every speech l made in the last campaign l promised the people that l would go into the legislature to stoI gambling if possible and to prohibi, the saloon business.
 This territory needs a law tha will close the saloons at midnight anC keep them shut, back door and front on Sundays. This one is reform that believe the members of the legislatur will support with little opposition"
 Mr, C'Neill has the open support c a number of members in both house . in the campaign he will wage agsins gambling and the saloon business.
