for the teeming miInons. It is esti- mated that the crops, in an area 200 miles long and 200 miles wide, are sl- most totally destroyed. that is an area of 10000 square miles. while the crops in a much larger section are far be- low the normal yield because of the incessant rains extending over nearly four months. The missionaries esti- mate that there are about 15.000.o00 in the densely populated district where the crops have failed and were destroyed by the floods.
 One missionary writes:
 Nothing can prevent starvation on large scale. Distressing stories are
 eaching us of children and the aged being drowned to prevent their death by the agonies of starvation, of pa rents selling their children into slay- cry or abandoning them on the streets and of others committing suicide by drowning or opium poisoning. The people, in their desperation, are in rebellion in one section, saying they may as well die by the sword as star vation, it being death In either cast" :" Rev. c. B. Patterson, southern Pres byterian mission, Suchien, Ku, writes in the North China Daily News: 'In one place the people have been living on elm and sweet potato leaves, mixed with a handful of grain and boiled. We hope to be able to distrib- ute relief funds to those within our reach. Meantime all our poor ac- quaintances are bringing their furni- ture and stun and begging us to pur- chase 1t that they may provide for the present"

Un- |derhill, heavy stockholder in the same corporation. Both of these gen. tlemen are well known capita hsts of Duluth, Ninn., and are in this section lat the present time for the purpose |of inspecting the work which has been done on the property.
 When seen last evening by a rep resentative of the Review, and asked or statement concerning the com pany of which he is the head, Mir. Norton said:
 Tt is not my custom to talk for pub ication on properties in which ! am interested, but inasmuch as the Cal umet & Sonora is a close corporation and none of the stock is for sale, I do not mind making 6 statement, as l feel proud of the progress which has been made.

 AT SPECIAL ELECTION

As q result of the death of Hon. Patrick Collins, who was elected to represent Mohave county in the com ing legislative council, 3 special cleo ton was held in that county to Ill the vacancy.

ANOTHER CASE IF SCARLET FEVER
 IN CITY
Physicians Suspect That the Patient Brought the Disease From ElSewhere-RumorS Are Going Rounds,

With every new case of scarlet fever that develops it becomes more apparent that at least some of the cases originate elsewhere than in Bis bee, and are brought into the district by people who have really contracted the germs of the disease at other cit ies. where the disease is prevalent. In DO case has this fact been more plain ly demonstrated than in that of Joseph Dietz, who arrived in the city several days ago from Tombstone, and a short time before that had come from Santa Fe, New Mexico.
 About o'clock yesterday morning Dietz, who is F years of age, walked into the Copper Queen Dispensary, and on seeing one of the physicians told him that he was feeling i'll. A thorough examE Eathpn & sciosed the fact that Dietz was suffering from a typical case of scarlet fever.
 The Copper Queen physicians imme- diately placed the man in one of the offices, and notified the city authori- ties of the case. Arrangements were finally made to take the man to the pest house, which was done about noon yesterday. The room which the man had occupied in the dispensary was then thoroughly fumigated.
 When seen last evening concerning the case, Dr. Williams, who has charge of the city health department, said: 'This new case has undoubtedly been brought into the city from else where. When this young man was 1T Tombstone, he vas SICK for six weeks with pneumonia, so he states, and probably contracted the fever as soor as the pneumonia left him.
 ] Reports from the east are to the eff feet that scarlet fever is raging il many of the different cities, and 1t fl not strange that some of 1t comes int Bisbee, as the incoming passenger each day are not subjected to any ex animation.
 A report was circulated late las levening to the effect that there were Ia number of cases of the disease oI Chihuahua Hill among Mxican fami lies, and that the people were hiding the fact to avoid being Quarantined. physician accompanied by a police off .cer made an investigation of severa houses where the disease was suppos ed to have been present, but coult find no tangible evidence to suppor the rumor. The occupants of on house acted in such a way that the, aroused suspicion, but nothing coult be obtained.

 FTigation started, it will tend to relieve
 When this dam is completed an ir. rigation started, it will tend to relieve the present Salton Sea troubles, is the belief of Mir. Babcock. The Laguns dam is about twelve miles up the riy' CT from Yuma. Enough water can be diverted and distributed over this land to keep the Colorado river from doing any damage from rising. In case Of @ sudden rise the water can be let out
 into the valley, even though 1t is not
 neded, and prevent the river from do
 ing any damage.

WORK ON B|G LAGUNA DAM
 SUSPENDED
No Fuel Is Chief Cause-But the Seven Hundred Laborers Employed on Construction Will Not Be Discharged.

Work on the Laguna dam neal Yuma has been suspended on account of the fuel famine, according to How ard R. Babcock, who arrived here yes terday from Yuma, where he was one of the mechanics on the instruction. Mir. Babcock stated thai sn each side of the dam work had been pushed rs idly, the boilers consuming $500 worth of oil daily.
 If work could be pushed steadily and without bnferrupton. MT. Bab- cock stated, the dam cculi be com. pleted in two years. When finished 1t will irrigate 60,000 acres of the rich est land in that section of the country. It will require s25, 100000 to complete the construction. J. c. White has the contract, and at present is employ ing over TOO laborers.

ARE SUFFERERS IN
 FAMINE
Stricken Provinces of China Present Horrible Scenes Millions Living on Cruel of Beans and Potato Leaves.

NEW YORK, Jan. '. - Although help has been hurried to the famine. stricken provinces of Chint the situa- tlon Is still grave.
 According to cable dispatches ' said a missionary yesterday, which are confirmed by letters from Ameri. can missionaries in the field, 15,000, 0OO natives of central China are now suffering from famine. The suffering is greatest in the provinces of Kiang- su, Che Kiang and Nganhui. Our state department in Washington has re ceived an appeal by cable from Shang. hai, declaring the condition to be ser. ious. Foreign consuls general, Chi nese authorities and business men have united in an effort to afford re. lief, but the suffering is so widespread that the situation Is practically be yond our control. Great mortality is feared unless relief is speedily afford ed.'
 Rev. J. s. Stone. a Methodist pas tor we'll known in New York and naay years 6 missionary, writes:
