FINAL PAYMENT MADE
ON MONICA MINE.
Mine Owner Thinks it Has Productive
Capacity EquaIing Nevada Mines.

Final payment on the purchase of
the Monica group of mines has been
made by Morgan Tillinghast, of
Philadelphia, and the deed conveying
full title to the group to Mr.. Tilling-
hast was placed on record in the
county recorders office in Prescott
last week
Mr.. Tiliinghast during a recent
visit to Prescott declared the Monica
mine to be equal in value of any of
the larger gold mines in Nevada. He
is known to have visited and ex-
amined many of the largest produc-
ers of the sage brush state. He
closed the deal for the purchase of
the Monica after making a thorough
personal examination. The title
passed to him under bond December
81, 1905. He started a force of men
developing the property the follow
ing day, and increased the force
later. There is now in the mine, ac-
cording to the statement of a con-
servati7e mining man, a larger ton
mage of ore than in any other gold
mine in the territory.

The Randolph Lines Getting Busy Again.

The Office of A. NJ. Elias, the Mexi-
can consul. at Tucson, was crowded
last week by scores of Mexican labor
ers, who were engaged in securing
passports to various points on the
Randolph lines in Mexico. The pres
ence of such a large contingent at
the consulate naturally led to in-
quiries.
1t was learned that there have been
quiet arrangements made for extern
sion and improvement work along the
various Randolph roads in Mexico
and that a good many laborers are
booked to go out of Tucson for steady
employment. Just when they will be
sent and in what numbers could not
be ascertained.
1t is certain, however, that there
is to be a resumption of labor work
on the railroads, which, in itself, is a
good augury for the future of the
laboring men in this section. The
shutdown in all transportation de-
velopment, which was connected for
a time with the financial furry, seems
entirely over, if this straw is an in

At the annual meeting of the

and shares out of psEjhle 100000

Saloon Men Are Fighting 70, Existence.

The saloon men of Phoenix have
appealed from the decision of Judge
Kent, who denied them an injunction
restraining the supervisors from call
ing an election to vote on the pro-
hibition question and have carried
their case direct to the supreme
court. The strongest point made in
the petition opposing the calling of
a special election is as follows:
"Plalntiff further shows that said
act, title 43 of the Revised Statutes
of Arizona, 1901, known as Local
Option Law is void and of no legal
force or effect in this said act is an
attempt on the part of the legisla-
ture of Arizona to delegate to the
citizens of the various counties of
said territory the power of legisla-
tion which is vested by the laws of
congress, exclusively in said legisla-
ture, and the prosposed election for
the putting in force of said act in
the said county of Maricopa is local

Tucson Petitions for U. S. Attorney.

A petition to have an assistant
United States attorney stationed in
Tucson has been forwarded to the at
torney general of the United States
at his headquarters in Washington,
D. c..
The petition is signed by nearly all
of the members of the Pima county
bar, who state that they are strongly
of the opinion that Tucson should be
the headquarters of at least an as
sistant to the United States attorney
if not the chief government attorney
in this territory.
AT the present time, United States
Attorney ]. L. B. Alexander has his
home in Phoenix, while his assistant,
George D. Christy, who is also a Phoe-
nix resident, has his headquarters
there.

for an assistant at Tucson, says the
Citizen, state that this arrangement

Attorney General Bonaparte that 80
per cent. of the business that comes
up before the United States attor-
ney's Office originates in the southern
part of the territory, including Pima,
Cochise and Santa Cruz counties.
They argue also that an assistant
United States attorney, at least,
should be located at Tucson, as that
is the headquarters for the United
States marshal's office and the immi-
grafton department for Arizona, both
of which have numerous dealings
with the United States attorneys
office.

"an assistant United States attorney

either the present assistant or an
additional assistant, which the gov

New Mexico Dips Over 100000 Sheep.

Five million eight hundred thous-
and sheep and lambs were shipped at
the first dipping last year, according
to an approximate estimate made at
the offices of the bureau of animal
industry in Albuquerque, N. NJ. This
is conservative estimate and brings
to light the fact that New Mexico
has over a million more sheep than it
has been credited with and also fore
casts the possibility that New Mexico
may, within the next few years, be
the greatest sheep raising and wool
growing state or territory in the
union. The last few years have been
banner ones for the sheepmer of New
Mexico, and if present indications
are not deceptive, yet greater things
may be expected of this industry.
A prominent sheepman, well posted
on conditions, when asked in Albu-
querque to give an estimate of the
probable wool crop for the coming
year, replied: SIT is hardly possible
to give very close estimate at this
time as the sheep buyers from other
states and territories have not as yet
commenced to ship out sheep for win
ter feeding, but leaving a large mar
gin for such shipments, in the spring
New Mexico should have over 5,OO0,-
900 sheep with an average of five
pounds of wool, or over, to each ami
NAL. This will amount to about 20,-
000,0 900 pounds of wool, taking into
account the decrease on account of
shrinkage, etc. On account of con-
ditions in the east, 1 am little |
afraid that prices will be somewhat |
low this season, but taking into con-
the fact that the sheep |
men have enjoyed very prosperous
times the past few years, we have
not much cause for complaint. How
ever, the wool market is to certain
extent, just like copper or any other
staple product, and prices are con-
fuctuating and it may be
possible that it will be away up next

Arizona snow Fall For Last December

Just by way of comparison the fol-
lowing snow figures for Arizona will
be of interest to Arizonans of the
sunny southern section who have
seen no snow this year save little
on the higher mountain peaks one
day.
The snow that fell in Arizona dur
ing. December, 1907, was light in
character. The total monthly depths
in the valleys of the Little Colorado,
the Salt and Verde watersheds, aver
aged about 30 inches. The storm of
November 18, 1907, deposited some
twenty to forty inches of snow over
the higher levels. Considerab BILE of
this snowfall melted during the first
half of December. The total depth
of accumulated snow in December
was full 55 per cent. less than the en-
tire amount of snow that fell on No
vember Is, 1907. At the end of No
vember, 1907, the mountain ranges
above the 5O0O.foot level contained
depths of snow ranging from eight to
forty inches. At the end of Decem-
Der, 1907, the mountains were gener-
ally free of snow up to the 7OOO-foot
level.
A comparison of the average depth
of snow in the mountains at the end
of December, 1907, with that in the
mountains on December 81, 1906,
shows the following deficiencies: Salt
river watershed--7.2 y inches; Gila river
watershed-29 inches; Aqua Fria-
Hassayampa watershed-7.4 inches;
Little Colorado river watershed-7.2
inches. In estimating the depth of
snow in the mountains for December,
1907, the water equivalent, or run-off,
will last until March next.
The average depth of snow in the
valleys and mountains at the end of
the month, was about as follows:
Salt and Verde area, in valleys,
trace, in mountains, 2.9 inches; Gila
area, in valleys, 90 inches; in noun
tains, 28 inches; Aqua Fria and Has
sayampa area, in valleys, o o inches,
in mountain, 90 inches; Little Colo
RADIO area in valleys, 0.3 inches; in
mountains, 80 inches.

Golf Trophy Purchased.

A handsome silver cup, represent
ing the golf championship of the
southwest, has been purchased in Ell
Paso to be played for in the Douglas
Ell Paso golf tournament there on
January 26.
A letter to Eugene Neff stated that
the directors of the Arizona club had
accepted the proposition of the Ell
Pasoans to buy the cup, the same to
go to the winner in all contests be-
tween the two clubs.
With the Douglas golfers will go
John Adams, of the Hinsdale Golf
club, Chicago, Ill, who will play the
expert of the Ell Paso club, F. w.
Foyargue, of the Skokie Country
club.
The increase in number of players
to fifteen is agreeable to both sides,
for it develops an additional interest
in the game to participate and as the
more inexperienced players of each
club will be pitted against each 9TH
er, the relative strength of the two
teams will not be impaired.
The El Paso golfers are planning
to play a return match in Douglas in
February, leaving here in specially
chartered Pullman Saturday night
and returning Monday morning. The
wives and families of the Ell Paso
players will accompany them.
