TEMPE
THE MOSQUITO PEST.
Further Action Taken oy City Council
 For Their Externination.

The city council held special meet ing Friday evening in the council chambers. the principal business of which was the further consideration of a matter that was brought up some weeks ago though at that time no def mite action was taken. Reference IS made to the subject of mosquitoes which it will be remembered was brought up by Mayor Dimes and oth- CTS some time back At the FridaS evening meeting a move was made lIi the nature of an experiment.. If 1t proves a success. it will be of great benefit to the town and the peaceful slumbers of Tempe citizens will no longer be disturbed by the buzz of the busy mosquito. Tempe will then have another drawing card, added to it's many that it now has, for it will be able to boast that mosquitoes are un- known here.
 The subject was given d pretty thor ough discussion at the meeting and several plans were brought up bearing on the matter It has been decided that by way of experiment a liberal application of coal oil will be made to all cess pools and closets some day in the near future to see what effect 1t
Arizona republican., 1908-05-04

will have on the pests. With that end in view the city marshal has been in structed to purchase ten cases of coal oil and three barrels of crude oil and secure the necessary help to handle it: then on some day that will be an nounced later, he with his assistants will make d canvass of the town and every cess pool and closet will be giv en a dose of the mixture. Results will be noted and if satisfactory, it is be- lieved that the individual residents of the town will take sufficient interest in the matter to use the same method from time to time in an effort to ex- terminate the insects.
 Aside from the discussion of mosqui- toes the council cons dmmated another loan of $500, thus making a total of Sl500 that has been loaned within the past year and making a total of S6500 that has been placed at interest pend ing the maturity of the city water works bonds It is estimated that at this rate within five years there will be d sufficient amount at interest to cover the bonds and at that time it Will be ten years before all the bonds mature. The interest now coming in annually from the different loans is $455 and it is worthy of note that after this loan of $500 has been made, as soon as the collections for the past month have been made from water users. the water fund will again have in it a little over a thousand dollars. IL merely goes to demonstrate as has been demonstrated time and again that under the present conservative mana cement of the city water system.

JESSE KNIGHT
INVADES ALTA
Assumes Management of Old
Emma Mine and Will
Push Development.

Uncle Jesse Knight yesterday formal
ly allied himself with the interests of
another Utah camp when he accepted
the vice presidency and general man
asership of the Emma at Alta. At the
annual meeting of the Emma company
held yesterday afternoon, J.. r. Mar
tineau was elected president; Jesse
Knight. vice president and general
manager, and +. w. Miller. secretary
and treasurer. These gentlemen. with
William Groesbeck, NJ. NJ. Miller and
q. p. Miller form the board of direc-
tors.
Mr. Knight has been investigating the
camp of Alta for some time, and will in
the future give the camp much of his
time and attention.
The Emma is one of the famous
mines of the world. During the time
between 1870 and 1880 the property pro-
duced over 81 900 900. and was regarded
as one Of the greatest bOnanZdS of the
century. The faultinG of the rich ore
chute and acknowledgement by the rep
resentatives sent to Utah by the Eng
lish stockholders caused the cessation
of operations for many years. The
property was acquired by its present
owners about a year and a half ago,
and development work has been con-
tinued since that time. At present there
arc ten men working at the property.
and a body of low-Grade lead carbonate
ore. twenty-five feet in width, has been
opened up. This ore will average about
500 per ton. 1t is the intention of the
management to increase the force at

PITTSBURG COMPANY
BUYS PIONEER CLAIMS

The Pittsburg Mining company made n
most important addition to its holdings
in Alta yesterday. when the company
purchased the entire holdings of the Pho
neer Mining company consisting of eight
patented claims adjoining the Pittsburg.
Pioneer group is most valuable one and.
although comparatively little work has
been done upon it, there is no question
but that IL will make a most valuable
addition to the Pittsburg holdings. Pay
ment for the Pioneer ground will be made
in bonds of the Pittsburg company. $4,000
of which mature one year from date and
S26.Oc0 two years from oatSs These bonds
will be secured by a first mortgage on the
entire holdings of the Pittsburg company.
Sam Levy represented the Pittsburg COM
pany in the negotiations. while the inter-
eStS of the Pioneer shareholders was
looked after by L. L. Richards. The sale
was concluded subject to the approval of
the shareholders of both companies. but
Captain j. E. Hill. secretary of the Pitts
burg company. stated yesterday that there
was no possibility of the sanction of the
stockholders of both companies being re-
fused. The Pittsburg property is in SPLEEN

ings, is now within about 200 feet of
the point where the ore body will be in
tercepted and the work on the tunnel will
be pushed forward at top speed. An Of
fer for the control of the Pittsburg was
made to the local holders by outside cap
italists last week but, although the offer
out hesitation. the holders of the con-
troll believe that they have one of the
biggest mines ever opened UP in the
camp of Alta.

for its object the manufacture and
marketing of briquettes made from coal

other on Fourth West, between Fifth

under high temperature. The slack
Will be obtained from the Utah Fuel
company's mines, and the Koala COM

of briquettes and eggettes, which are of
half oval shape, per day. The products
will be marketed throughout Nevada

made by the company is clinkerless,
