TUCSON ABANDONS
FREIGHT RATE FIGHT.
President SteinfeId of Chamber of
Commerce faVOrs a Territorial
ORGANIZATION.

There is every indication that the
fight for a lowering of the freight
rates oyer the Southern Pacific into
Tucson will go into abatement, at
least until the fall, says the Tucson
Star. There have been several
causes which have contributed to
this, and the results of recent meet
ings which haye been held between
the committee of the chamber of
commerce, having the matter in
charge, and the officials of the rail
road company, seem to have definite
ly settled the controversy for the
time being.
The receipt of the somewhat. I'M
satisfactory letter from the freight
rate experts who were brought to
Tucson early in the spring has not
been the impelling motive in this
postponement, but other and more
vital causes.
+ President Steinfeld, of the cham
Der of'commerce, was asked in regard
to the status of the whole agitation.
In reply he said:
"There is not likely to be d great
deal more done this summer in an
effort to secure reduction of freight
rates into Tucson. The suggestion
which has been made that there be d
territorial organization formed which
will have for its purpose the reduc-
tion of freight rates generally over
81, &c t,rdarhtal1r-
one and is apparently likely to be
acted upon. The scattered nature of
the country makes it somewhat diff
cult to perfect an organization of
that character which can work con-
certedly and effectively, but steps
will in all probability be taken which
will result in the formation of such a
body by the time the fall is well I'M
der way.
$50 far as Tucson is concerned, it
is apparent that the effort for re-
duction of rates and tariffs, as apply
ing particularly to this point, will
have d rest for d while. All over
the country, based upon the plea
that revenues are materially and
dangerously decreased, the railroad
and traffic associations are contem-
plating or at least discussing a raise
in railroad rates. l do not know that
agitation has extended to this part
of the country, but under conditions
as they exist, it would seem to be
futile to continue fight just now for
lowered rates.
However, a territorial organiza-
ton, having for its purpose general
lettering of freight rates, as applied
to serve a good purpose and accom-
plish good results"

Sixty-FOot Colorado Lizard Found.

Imagine the sensation of feeling a
lizard about sixty feet long and
thirty-three feet high, weighing
about fifteen tons, crawling up your
frame and griuning at you through
teeth four feet long.
Any person who thinks that the
description of this dinosaur of by
gone days is a new mature fake"
can have his doubts removed by 60
ing to the Field Museum in Chicago,
where Prof. Riggs has his newest pet
on exhibition. The specimen weighs
nearly 10000 pounds as it stands. The
specimen is said to be the most COM
plete in any museum in the world.
1t was discovered near Fruita, Colo,
In 1901, by Prof. Riggs.
1t once crawled up and down the
mountains of Colorado.

AIvOrds Marriage to Brown Beauty

Henry Christine Warmack, formerly
of Douglas, writes the following
breezy story about the marriage of
Burt Alvord, the Arizona train rob-
Der and outlaw.
"Hurrah for Arizona, He is indeed
invincible. He is forever in the as
cendant. 1t remained for Burt
Alvord personally to demonstrate the
Arizonan's eternal supremacy Burt
has suffered much, yet out of the fire
he energies dominant, if not exalted.
Burt has served time in the Cochise
county Jail and on the getaway
trails leading therefrom until he is
as much at home in Tombstone as on
the main line of any through railroad
whose trains he ever robbed. He has
been shot up and down until he isn't
comfortable without the right amount
of lead in his system. He has served
in the Yuma penitentiary until if he
can't be there, he won't stay in Ari-
iona at all. And now, with the cour-
age of his kind, he has again faced
the worst and is married. Do not
Judge him too harshly until you hear
the particulars. The woman has the
dough. She owns a big coffee ranch,
which she calls a plantation, down
Jamaica way, and Burt has nothing
to do but sit around the postof1ice
store at Kingston all day and smoke
fine Havanas. which do not require
duty. Isn't Burt a pippin to fall into
all that? He sure is the cream. He
was nosing around that dear Costa
Rica looking for a republic to revOlu-
tionize or d chance TO break into the
king business when he spied his bride
and she was his. y Tucson man
down that way met him at Kingston
and Burt sure looked all to the good
with a life and death mortgage on
little brown eyes and her big coffee
plantation. Things are coming SO
easy for Burt he wouldn't stop to kill
coyote or hold up stage from the
King of Arizona. Alvord is wanted,
it is said, in Mexico for completely
with Billy Stiles in robbing the Tener
brothers of a bar of bullion valued
at IS, OOO."

Change Boundaries of Forest Reserves.

The Office of the surveyor general
was notified of the changes by execu-
tive order of the boundaries and
names of many of the forest reserves
of this territory. A part of the
Black Mesa and a portion of the
White mountain reserves have been
thrown into one to he called Sit
greave's National reserve. That
portion of the Grand Canyon forest
reserve lying north of the Colorado
river is to be called Kaibab National
forest. That portion of the Grand
Canyon lying south of the river, to-
gether with the extreme western
and a portion of the eastern, with
the western part of the San Francisco
mountain reserve and part of the
Black Mesa will be called the Coco
nino National reserve. That part of
the Black Mesa lying east of the
White Mountain Indian reservation
has been changed to the Apache
National forest That part of the
Tonic forest reserve lying south of
Salt river and west of the White
Mountain Indian reservation, to-
gether with the Mount Graham forest
reserve and practically three town
ships covering the Santa Teresa
mountains is to be called Crook
National forest. That part of the
Tonic reserve lying north of Salt
river will be called the Tonic Nation
al reserve.

DiarrhOea Cured

"My father has for years been
troubled with diarrohea, and tried
every means possible to effect cure,
without avail" writes John II. Zirkle
OF Philippi, w. Va. "He saw Cham
berlain's Cole, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy advertised in the Philippi
Republican and decided to try it.
The result is one bottle cured him
and he has not suffered for eighteen
months with the disease. Before
taking this remedy he had been a
cOnsi ant sufferer. He is now sound
and well, and although sixty years old
can do as much work as d young man.

Copper Queen Mine Thirty Years Old.

According to Judge Duncan of
Tombstone, who Is an authority on
pioneer history of Cochise county,
thirty years ago in August George
Warren discovered the Wade Hamp-
ton and other claims at Bisbee, con-
shutting the beginning of the great
Copper Queen System. The year be-
fore, ~, Jack Dunn and Major Ruck-
er had made some locations in the
same district.
Warren was backed by Tombstone
parties. Warren's memory has crys-
talized into a species OF pioneer wor-
ship among those who love tradition.
West Howell is given credit for the
discovery of the Greater Copper
Queen after the management thought
they had the proposition worked out.
| The Queen has been by far the heav-
lest producer in the territory, with
perhaps $50 miles of underground
level work. 1t HIS at the same time
been compelled to meet tremendous
expenses, over eleven million feet of
timber having been buried in the
mine during the year 1901 alone.
If the mighty forest of timber in
the Queen could suddenly be laid bare
as it is now arranged, it strains the
! imagination to understand what it
would appear like.
The development, expansion and
operation of the Queen represents a
mighty work during the last twenty,
five years, and it seems only to be in
its infancy.

Territory Richer More Than 81, 900, 900

Abstracts of the assessment rolls of
the various counties have been re-
ceived at the Office of the territorial
auditor and show a total valuation of
property for purposes of taxation, of
$50, ISL, 969.Il, less exemptions
amounting to ST04, 622. 10. The latter
figure is an increase over the net
valua tiOn of last year of S2.57S, l5I. 10.
1t is possible that corrections in the
abstracts will show a net valuation
for this year of. over eighty million
dollars, to say nothing of the raises
that may be made by the territorial
board OF equalization.
The figures from the counties are
as follows: Apache, Sl,042, 953. IS:
Cochlse, Sl9.5oS, S29. 81; Coconino. ST.
3I4.373 81; CHA 50 465. l62. Ol: Graham,
IS, 1879, l23.O3; MaricOpa, Sl4 .264. 100. 53:

S72 81: Pima, 81 80. 446 o.: Pinal. 81,

Yavapai, SO, 244, $3.50; Yuma, s.,
639, 072.09.
The abstracts do not show that
there has been an increase of he
valuation of any class of property,
on the contrary the mining assess
ments are a little lower than they
were last year on account of the sus-
pension of work for time in many
of the mines. The increase is made
up of the rapid but natural growth
of wealth.
Maricopa adds nearly a million to
the increase of two and a half mil
lions. There is a decrease of little
more than a million in Cocbise coun-
tv. Yavapai shows an increase of
more than half million and the in
crease is added to by nearly all OF
the smaller counties and most of the
larger ones. Though ella and Ora
ham are mining counties the returns
from both are larger than last year.

Bisbee DAMAGED by Flood.

Bisbre was visited by a rain and
cloud burst last week that did between
$1,000 and $4,000 damages to prop
erIy, wrecked the postOffice, swamped
the stores and saloons on the south
side of Main street from Angus
store down, smashed the sewer and
gas pipes and cut roads and streets in
deep. 1t was week before the post
office was in systematic working order
again, though mails were dispatched
as usual.
a cloudburst and landslide from the
mountain side back of Main street
was the cause of the damage to that
side of the street. The storm dam
age was the worst in the past seven
or ten years.
The most striking feature of the
storm s work was the piling up of a
mountain of boulders and silt at the
rear of the business houses on the
south side of Main street. Competent
engineers estimated that the mass
weighed at least 1900 to 2000 tons,
and that it required in the neigh
borhood of seventy-five carloads to
haul it away. The whole mass was
piled up by the water in less than ten
minutes time.
Two of the postotlice girls, Misses
Clara Larden and Katherine Barr,
narrowly escaped drowning, while all
of them were in danger of their lives
when the boulders were crashing
through the windows into the build
