NEGRO LOAFERS.

People who pass between Alexandria
and Washington on the electric railway
after dark have their attention drawn to
the fact that the electric light is extin-
guished at Spring Park station, upper
King street, and that negroes lurk in
the shadow of the culvert or that OF the
station house at that place. 1t is hard
to understand what business calls them
there at night, and it is suggested that
the Alexandria police, who have Jurls-
diction, see into the matter, as ladies
often leave the cars at Spring Park and
they are naturally spprehensive.

GROSS OVER ID
 MEXICAN SIDE
Reclamation Service Engineers with a Force of Men Now Working to Stop Colorado in Lower California--No Statement Made by Engineers.

Assistant Engineer Clifford Ozias, who has charge of the construction of government levees in Yuma valley, has moved his engineering outfit across the Colorado river-or, rather, across the old channel of the Colorado-into Low CT California, and has established a camp immediately below what is known as the Big Bend, where a private at. tempt was made last year to straighten the river The point is several miles below the Mexican intake, and about where the California Development com pany's levees terminate.
 Wednesday force of Indians was transferred from the Arizona side, where they have been engaged in clear ing brush, and put to work clearing brush on the Mexican side.
 The exact significance of this move cannot be stated, as the reclamation ser vice officials at this point will make no statement regarding the matter, says the Yuma Sun. It is not improbable, however, that the incident is fraught with great moment, being, as it is, the first instance in which the United States has taken advantage of the treaty, or agreement, recently entered into with Mexico, under the terms of which the United States engineers are now per mitted to enter Mexican territory along the Colorado.

SAN SIMON |S THE NEW NAME
Chiracahua Development Company Is Reorganized at Meeting in Tucson Last Week-Plans for the Future De volopment of Properties.

The Chirieahua Development company which became inactive about a year ago, is again on its feet under new name The stockholders at meeting in Tucson reorganized the company un- der the name of the San Simon Copper company with capitalization of $2,- 500,000 shares having the par value of $l0.
 In the reorganization, the old share holders of the Chiricahua company, who paid ten dollars per share for their stock, were allotted two and one half shares in the new company for one in the old. All told there were about forty thousand shares issued, and the new stock allotted for taking over tine old shares of the Chiricahua company was 100000 shares. James A. Duncan, who together with Captain Burns, were the original owners, received 50.000 shares in the new company and 100000 shares were placed in the treasury, which will be sold at $l0 per share and the pro ceeds used for development work on the property on large scale.
 The stockholders of the old Chirica- hua company who attended the meeting at Tucson included Captain J. A. Dun. can. $. R. Kaufman of Marquette Mich, and w. G. Rice of Houghton, Mich. After disposing of routine work and discussing plans for the new com. pany, the following board of directors were elected: Thomas F. Cole, N. NJ Kaufman, N w. Haire, J. A. Duncan, w. G. Rice, $. k. Kaufman, Thomas II Collins. The officers of the new com. pany are N. w. Kaufman, president; N w. Haire, vice president; $. R. Kauf- man. secretary and treasurer.
 The new board of directors adjourned in Tucson to meet again within the next thirty days at Marquette, Mich, at which time the new superintendent will be appointed and the work of develop. ment again resumed on a large scale.
 On the property there is machinery sufficient to sink a shaft 1900 feet. II is estimated that the machinery equip ment alone cost the old company not less than $50,000. The deepest work ings on the property is $50 feet, and it is confidently expected that with the means that will now be placed at the disposal of the new company thorough and systematic exploration of the ground will be made possible, and it is the opinion of mining men in this sec tion, who are familiar with the Chiri cahua district, that the efforts of the new San simon Copper company will be amply rewarded in the end
