A TELEGRAPHIc PARALYSIS.

A complete paralysis of tine tele- graph wires occurred at g o'clock last night. Neither the extent nor the pre- else cause of the disorder could be as- certained. In an instant communica- ton with the east and the west was severed and soon after Prescott an nounced that it was isolated so far as the coast and eastern points were con- cerned
 An opening was effected along a Southern Pacific railroad wire as far west as Sentinel. where the operator said he had lost his train dispatcher. and had three freight trains piled up on his hands. East of Maricopa. all was silent as the grave.
 In the meantime The Republican of flee was besieged by persons anxious to know whether Britt or Nelson had licked.
 The Republican had just received notice before the wires went down. " that special dispatch had been filed for it in New York. describing an in- terview yesterday between Chief Jus tiee Kent and President Roosevelt at oyster Bay on the subject of joint statehood. That the chief justice had spoken in opposition and had got the president to withhold his personal opinion" whatever that may mean.
 It was hoped in vain. up to the last moment this morning. that the block ade might be broken.

THE COLORADO COUNTRY
 IN VICINITY OF PARKER
The Merchants are Surprised and Puzzled by the Unacsountable Ae- tivity in That Region.

After d trip over the A. X c. to Par ker and the Colorado river. w. A. Drake. vice president and general manager of the S. F. F. and P. Fred F. Cruice. chief clerk. and Paul Hast ings, general freight and passenger agent. arrived in the city yesterday and brought encouraging reports of the progress in that section of the territory, which has incalculable and undreamed-of resources awaiting the energy and push of American capital.
 In a general way it may be said that business in that section for this time of the year. when few remain to hustle for the almighty dollar and the majority close up shop and go fishing or on similar pursuits. is unusually brisk. at least treble that of last year. To such an extent is this true. that the average citizen of that vast country is at a loss to account for the vol ume of trade. There are too a great many more people in that section at this time of the year than previously. the majority Of whom perhaps have little or no time to waste in vacations but are intent on pushing along the de-
 
 i've interests may be. The greatest in- dustry at present Is mining. but later the agricultural possibilities will b, extensively developed, as some 400. .00C acres of good land lie desert. waiting for the water and the blow,

For the present this will be a prepaid station and already the traffic is increasing over the line 10 shipping points adjacent to the mining camps, where operations ar, ! assuming more pretentious aspects and ore piling on the dumps ready for shipment.

The business firms of Phoenix have now a great opportunity to get in or the ground floor and secure the busi- hess of that country. The schedules ol the trains are all in favor of the Phoenix shipper and from this new section just opened for the first time 70 the outside world by the railroad this city should derive considerable trade. fl merchants are alive to the opportunity.
 The party of railroad men return ing from Parker report that the river has been high. but is now receding The temperature along the A. and C. al present is such as to make the aver age section gang hunt the shade most of the time, except when the train is IA-lssins. when at least a semblance Oi activity must be exhibited. It is therefore not very good investment to place many laborers at work but when the cooler period comes the busy characteristic scenes of a rapidly de- veloping country will be presented to the travellers view

 was in position to speak for itself and they worked up smile that won't come orr. They were only going to be gone couple of days but things looked so good they stayed d week. It was Mr. Bonsalrs first trip in that section and he was highly impressed with what he saw and declared it to be wonderful mineral zone. They looked over number of different properties including copper prospect north of Venden. in which Messrs Wharton
 Palmer and Morris Jacquet are inter ested- It looks just as good as the other one. only different.
 The first named, the Morrow eroun ad1oins the Carrigan strike of gold and copper of which so much was heard A
 few months ago and which is now un- der development. Presumably it is on the mother lode of which the Carri- gan property is an offshOot. That Is a matter of opinion of course for every miner thinks he is on the mother lode However. they all have lots of good ore which is the chief feature of i'm
 portance. The Morrow mine has been under development for the last two years and a tunnel has been run into the hill for l20 feet. attaining a yerti- cal depth of eighty feet from the sur face Of the hill. The tunnel has cross cut four feet of ore of the sort MT Wharton brought back to town with him. The chief feature of the ore is that 1t has no right to be IL is not what Is generally known as a gold bearing rock. being sort of diorite in appearance. and is undoubtedly a redeposit. However this has been oc- casionally encountered and is well it. lustrated in the case of the Relief mine north of Glendale. Nearly every piece of the sackfull brought to Phoe- nix shows free gold liberally sprink- led through it and though one at a glance would think it's value might be thousands of dollars a ton it is not estimated by the rock sharps to carry over S200 per ton. owing to the light and flaky nature of it. But that Is rich enough if the ledge proves to have length and depth as 1t has all the indi- cations of. It is also stated that the shales on either side the ledge will carry some values. a, further proof Or the redeposition of the gold.
 On the copper claims north of Wen den in the Cunningham Pass region the development consists only of a few ten foot holes. Mir. Wharton also brought along some samples of this ore On the surface the ledge was only an inch or so wide but at ten , feet It is foot or more in width and lis rich in red oxides. The lowest assay made was 27 per cent and the highest 40 per cent copper, with gold values Of about s25- J. w.

The. entire country Is rich in mineral and there is great ac- tivity among the prospectors nOtwith- standing the hot weather The pros pective millionaires are greatly en- unused. not alone over their own claims but over the prospects of the entire district.

ASSAlANT GARRISON
 Is STILL AT LARGE
No Trace of Him Since he Parted From His Wife on Friday Night.

Another search nearer town was made yesterday for J. s. Garrison. wanted for an assault upon his step daughter. Emily Haulot. last Thurs day night. Deputies Adams and Davis secured the country north and north west of the city without securing any valuable information regarding Gar rison.
 Deputy Adams and Billy Williams returned late the night before from a trip north past the Union mine and into the country beyond. the direction it was thought Garrison would have taken. since it was reasonably certain that he did not get out by rail.
 Inquiries for the man brought out persons who knew something of his record before he came here. one man said that Garrison when he was about twenty years of age. committed q crim- inal assault upon woman in Alabama but evaded arrest and escaped to his former home in Texas. He was ar rested there some time later and taken back to Alabama where he was put under bonds for his appearance at trial. He forfeited his bail and was never heard of any more in that part of the country.
 He had bad reputation among Texas officials. Shortly before coming to Phoenix he had some trouble in Texas town and when the sheriff went to arrest him with a posse. Garrison stood the officer off and was never taken into custody for the offense, which consisted of clubbing a negro with a revolver.

Colorado river was done in two weeks after the presidents call to pick and shovel. The formal announcement was delayed only by for the finishing touches because the Colorado has been controller before this. only to break its bonds. Now there is a sixty foot dam. four feet above the highest known water, and the settlers who discovered that the "Salton Sink" was an out of door paradise for the al most magical growing of fruits and vegetables have returned to their homesteads in secure faith that the river. their greatest enemy. has been fully conquered. The railroad will re- place its washed-away tracks and trestles and it is believed that the Im- perial Valley farmers may safely trust that there is nothing more to fear from the river

THE SHE'LL CORPORATIONS
 BUSINESS FALLING OFF
That and Other Facts Contribute to a Further Depression at the Market.

New York. July 31.-The decline of prices today got its principal inspira- uon from the quarterly report of the steel corporation. The main factor was the discouraging sentiment in a statement by one of the directors that the amount of the new business of the corporation for July had contracted from 25 to 30 per cent from the busi- ness of July last year.
 Copper stocks were even weaker than iron and steel stocks. partly ow- ing to the continued -ettlilng of the market for the metal. which sc4red a further wide GecPle in rn'c- luuas . An unfavorable crop report from pri- vate expert was a factor in the late weakness of the market.

THE INTERESTING CASE
 OF HOM WO CHANG
The Chinaman Claims That Black mailer Got Him Into Trouble.

The case of Hom Wo Chong. ar rested in Prescott on the charge oi being unlawfully in this country. was concluded yesterday before Commis- siOner JOhnstone. who will render a decision at o'clock this afternoon. The decision however will not likely be the end of the matter fer whatever it may be, an appeal will almost cer- tainly be taken.
 The case is one of unusual interest. The main thing to be determined is whether the defendant left the United states at any time after there had been determination of his right to be here. The Chinese six Companies who seldom take part in cases of this kind, have had an agent. On Gee. on the scene for weeks gathering information relating to the case. The interest of the six Companies lies in the supposi- tion that Hom Wo Chong. whatever his status may be, is the victim of a Chinese blackmailer who has been en- gagged as informer to the inspection of ficials. The officials are not blamed with the shortcomings of the black mailer: their employment of him as informer is recognized as legitimate. and 1t is naturally assumed that they are not aware that he Is proving upon his countrymen.
 Hom Wo Chong at the time the ex- clusion act went into force, was a merchant and as such had d right to be in the country. He subsequently, ceased to be a merchant and became a common laborer. He was arrested in 1903 and tried at Prescott before Judge Sloan. The charge against him was dismissed and his status at that time was legally settled.
