THE OBSERVATIONS
 OF HON. W. s. STURGIS
He Expresses Confidence in the EIec' ton of Ralph Cameron.

Hon. w. $. Sturgis, the national committeeman for Arizona, is in the city for a short stay and waiting to greet Mrs. Sturgis upon her return from an extended visit in Chicago and other eastern cities Mir. Sturgis is a life long friend of the republican can didate for delegate to congress, and is confident that MT. Cameron will be re- turned a winner at the coming cleo tion, says the Tucson Tribune.
 Mir. Stursis has just returned from a visit to several of the great demo- cratic strOngholds and expresses the sentiment of these counties when he says that the old supporters of Mark Smith have lost confidence in his aDil- ity to do anything for Arizona, and are coming over to the standard of the younger man who has the energy and determination to do things for our people. MT. Cameron is winning friends throughout the territory and making votes for himself and his par ty with every word he speaks. His talks are straight to the heart and in telligence of the voters and not of such an insulting character as that offered by the democratic candidate. MT. Cameron does not set himself on a pedestal and tell the voters of the country that he is the only intelligent man in the party, but he does tell them that he is able and willing to give them some return for the confi- dence that they will place in him.
 In Gila, Graham and Cochise coun- ties where Mark Smith has been sup ported faithfully and consistently year after year without making good any of his promises. there is a desire to try something different. The campaign made by Cameron in Graham county

STEAMER STRIKES
IN SNOWSTORM
Saratoga Goes on Rocks Near
Valdez While Running at
Full Speed
Passengers Taken Off in Safety
Include Arctic Explorer
MikkelsOn

VALDEZ, March 20.-on the rocks
within an eighth of mile of Busbee
island the steamship Saratoga of the
Alaska steamship company went
aground during a binding snowstorm
this afternoon. The vessel was going
at full speed ahead and the shock came
without warning. The vessel is caught
amidships, and as it is heavily loaded
fore and aft steamship men here fear
that it will break in two on the falling
of the tide.
Half an hour after the vessel went
aground the storm subsided and the
order was just given for the launching
of the lifeboats to carry the passengers
when the steamer Elsie came round the
island. After taking the passengers
to Valdez the Elsie returned to the
wreck to stand by in case it breaks up.
The Saratoga was built in 1878. 1t
left Seattle March and was on the
return trip from Seward and Valdez.
Among the passengers was Captain E.
Mikkelsen. arctic explorer.

FORMAL CHARGES FILED
AGAINST 8 POLICEMEN
Six of Accused Men Appear and
Ask for Copies of the
COMPLAINT

Chief of Police Bfggy filed formal
charges yesterday against eight of the
nine policemen accused of having held
up ]. d. Samuelson. the dive keeper.
The charges against David Sullivan, the
ninth man. were mailed 10 him at Sac
ramento. where he is at the bedside of
his wife, who was prostrated when she
heard that her husband had been ac-
cused of taking bribes.
But one charge. that of unofficerlike
conduct. was fled against each man for
the reason that the evidence of extor-
ton is not strong enough for the inser-
tion of that clause in the complaints
For the first time since their suspen-
sion six of the accused men appeared
at the hall of justice and asked for cop
les of the complaints. The men were
warmly received by their former asso-
ciates and their presence caused stir
at police headquarters
It Is likely that one attorney or firm
OF attorneys will be retained to defend
the nine accused men at their trial be-
fore the police commission. Unless
their plans are changed. the policemen
will retain Sullivan. Sullivan & Roche
or Joseph Dunno to conduct their de-
fenses.
Biggy ANNOUNCED last night that the
investigation will cease for the present
and that he will take no further action
until the trials of the accused patrol
men begin. Biggy zsays that in the
event that the present evidence is not
sufficient to convict the men he will re-
sort to other means to prove his
charges.

the fact that his memory on many

but was blocked by sullivan. 1t ap-
peared that Duryea was pursuing the
same tactics that had been followed by
Carroll n Beal manager of the Bay
Cities water company. while the latter
was under cross examination. Beal
estimated the costs of the acquisition
of the different lands and options en-
braced ia the Bay Cities scheme at
the approximate cost of one item
within 1000 per cent. Duryea likewise
said he would not attempt TO approx
mate the costs singly
Can YOU estimate the cost up TO

several times.

many times.

1ivan.

Of his expert knowledge. 'T can give

nuryes.
The total be hanged. I'll get the

On another occasion Sullivan pointed
out that one of the items in the pro
posSl called for the enlargement of
the capacity of the American canal
from S5.ooo.ooo gallons a day TO 100 :
1000 gallons. Duryea maintained he
could not give the desired cost to the
Bay Cities company. but said he could
give the cost for increasing the
capacity from 1Oc.ooo.ooo gallons TO
2oo.o00.ooo gallons per day. Despite the
fact that Sullivan informed the witness
scveral times that such a cost was not
wanted, Duryea in desperation blurted
out:

That is matter easily understood
by engineers. but perhaps not by you"
replied Duryea.

Duryea was excused from further
testimony and then a recess was taken

Recent Government reports, speaking with
regard to samples of coal secured from dis
tricts adjacent to Holster, say
The most striking characteristic OF the
coal, as shown by chemical analysis is the
heavy percentage of volatile matter as COM
pared with the fixed carbon. This indicates
rich gas-making coal and. were it not for the
heavy percentage of sulphur, it could doubt
less be used to advantage in the manufactur-
ing of illuminating gas. The heating proper
ties OF the coal are excellent, running as high
as 1877 British thermal units in the air-dried
sample. This is considerably better than most
of the sub-bituminous Goals of the Pacific
Coast, or even some OF the better grades of
coal of Wyoming.
