A DRUNKEN MOTHER
 NE6LtCTS OFFSPRING
A Movement to Deprive Mrs. Isidra Pima of Her Babe

Isidra Pima was yesterday sentenced by Justice Johnstone to the county jail for seven days. But that is not all. for the justice at the same time began proceedings to take her infant Child away from her. A woman has come forward who will take the child. if it can be transferred to her by law so that she will not be annoyed by it's drunken mother.
 Mrs Pima was arrested by Constable Murphy night before last for drunken ness. The neighbors had been at tracted by the crying of the child, and when the officer entered the house he found the mother and three men lying on the floor in a drunken stupor. He took the child to a woman who lived near by. and brought the mother to jail.
 A couple Of years ago a child died of neglect. It was about two years old, and contracted pneumonia from exposure during a drunken fit of its mother When it was found-it was in the last stage of the disease. Neigh bors cared for it but it was too late and it died before the mother regain ed sOberness.
 The putative father of the present child is one Jose Gonzales, who not withstanding his peculiar relation to it, is desirous of having it cared for. and is aiding the movement to take it from the custody of Mrs. Pima. The matter will likely come up for hear ing in proba e court today.

Talked to Death.

The public, not conditions were sick. and for the public the press prescribed simply allopathic slugs of truth And behold the public was cured. Day af- ter day the press fought to bring home a realization of the truth. and in the end truth conquered. It fought against enormous odds. against the suscepti- bility of the mob, against the tendency of the masses made up of individuals cognizant of truth to forget it and practice error. and most of all it fought against the vague rumOr flying from mouth to mouth which did more than anything else to perpetuate dan ger.

IUNlItD STATfS COURT TAXES UP GRIFFIN CASE
Sentences Passed on Several Who Had Been Convicted or Pleaded Guilty

The most important case of the
 present term of the United States
 court was begun yesterday afternoon. 1 It was that of the United States
 against John J. Griffin. charged with
 breaking open q freight car on the | Southern Pacific railroad a year ago l last December. The car was one of
 a train on which Griffin was brake
 man out of Tucson as far as Gila | Bend. Among the goods stolen from the car were a Valise and other articles
 consigned by the Warren Leather Co.
 of Worcester Mass, tO Levin X Co. of | san Francisco
 The room of Griffin at Tucson was tsearched soon after the. repor: of the | robbery and a valise found there was | one of those which had been in the car | Griffin was then out on another run. | and was arrested at Gila Bend on d ! telegram. He was tried last Novem- | Der in the court of the first judicial l district ard acquitted. That Is the 1 substance of the statement for the government. An essential fact in the statement for the defense was that at | the time of the discovery of the va | lise the officers who made the search were armed with a warrant for anoth-
 CT brakeman named Pickett, who oc- cupied the room jointly with Griffin. In his statement for the defense, Judge | Baker dwelt upon the faes that Griffin had no knowledge that the valise was there and he further stated that while | there had been ample opportunities for the burglary of the car between Fl PasO and Tucson, the defendant at no time between Tucson and Gila Bend ! had a chance to commit the burglary. The beginning of the trial was pre- Ceded by arguments on a demurrer which was overruled. Then the de- fendant pleaded that he was not gull ty; that he had already been tried and acquitted of-the alleged crime, and
 that he was now placed in jeopardy twice for the same alleged offense. The case will probably be concluded today.
 Francisco Billa. who was brought from Pinal county on the charge of selling liquor 10 an Indian. was dis charged, the trial jury having disa greed. His, wife with her two chill
 dren were waiting for him in the sherifrs office. Mrs. Billa seemed much happier than even her husband at the outcome, for she confessed to the dep uty sheriffs that since her husband had been in jail she and her babes had not been eating regularly

ciding factor in the change. Another feature of vast consequence is that seven miles Of the big ditch is cut off.
 When the cost of a canal of from 50
 to 70 feet at the bottom is considered
 some appreciation oi the amount saved
 may be had. It also means a saving
 of time. Fifteen miles of ditching can
 be dug quicker than twenty-two.
 Work on the change mas already commenced. It will not cost a cent to make the change because the work done on the Arizona side will be need ed for the small canal for Gila valley and all the rock removed on either side has been needed for the dam walls. At Yuma the canal will cross some { where below the bridge and not far from it. It will be about a right angle and will be cheaper here than above. One of the good results of this deci- ! sion will be to settle the canal line at an early date so that the Indians will know where they want to choose their ! land and thus hasten the allotment to
 conclusion. opening the remainder of ; the reservation to settlers. The new i canal line is nearly as the crow or bee I flies. Exactly which of the four pro : posed lines may be selected is not yet | decided Each of them is good
 Adding the mesa land has many ad- vantages. The mesa will grow citrus
 which can be shipped east. IL is com paratively non perishable. This acre age will be thickly populated with or angA lemon and pomelo growers who ] will have orchards or from five to twenty acres They will be consum- CTS of all the logical products of the valley. widening the home fruit and vegetable market. Also the cost of the
 project is thereby divided among a 7 greater acreage, lessening the burden on each holder. Gila valley suffers in nothing. but it's land owners gain in as
 much as the cost of the project effects them as much as anybody.
 ! Work on the levee below Yuma con- tinues at a fast rate. During the month of March S07 600 yards Of dirt have : been handled on this work. If there 1 is not more than twenty-five feet of ! water by the middle of April the levee : can be completed before the June rise , with ease.

REPORTS FROM VARIOUS
 YAVAPAI DISTRICTS.
Some From Those Who Live There and Others Made By Visitors.

Unusual activity is apparent in the mining industry in the Black Canyon and lower Turkey Creek districts" :" said T. F.. Childers. general manager of the New Era Mining company, to a Journal Miner man.
 Since the closing down of the Humboldt shelter. last fall. a large number of miners have devoted their attention to prospecting in these dis tricts which have. always been con sidered to have some of the best poor mans camps in the county.
 The Buffalo-Arizona Mining com pany is operating its mill steadily and turning out occasional bars of gold bullion There are several miners at work there and the showing in the mine is said to be very satisfactory to the management
 Tony Johnson. Otto Stephens. Ar chic Lamb and Ben Hall, who are working the Elliott and Drescher prop critics under lease. have several hum dred tons of gold ore ready for treat ment and are preparing to make mill run.
 Good reports come from the Silver Chord camp where C. W. Ruffner has d small force developing the mine. This property is said to be improving with every foot of ground opened. It is among the oldest locations in the district and had a great record as a silver producer before the decline in the price of the white metal many years ago. when the primitive methods of treatment did not permit it's opera tion at a profit"
 AIr Childers stated that operations were at a standstill on the properties of his concern on account of pending negotiations for their saR to an east err syndicate.
 Dr. G. $. Clemens of Joplin, Mo.,|Dr. H. E. Savage of Galena. Kan, and C. C. Lastinger. western representative of an English mining syndicate. with headquarters in Kansas City. who left yesterday for their eastern homes af- ter d ten days visit in the Copper Creek district, are very enthusiastic over the mineral possibilities of that region. which. they unanimously state, will Startle the country in copper pro- duction in the next two years.
 Drs. Clemens and Savage are stock holders in ROsalie Copper company. It is evident from their conversation that they are well pleased with their investments and that they intend to increase their holdings in the concern ard possibly become identified with operating concerns now doing devel- opmont work in that section on ad- joining properties.

CHANCE OF PLANS
 FOR YUMA PROJtCI
Twelve Thousand Acres More to Be Reclaimed and Pro Rata Expense Per Acre 10 Be Lessered.

The following from the Yuma Ex- aminer outlines a very important change in the reclamation project un- der the Laguna dam and one that means great deal to the Yuma val ley:
 Twelve thousand acres on the mesa get water.
 The distance of tie main canal from Laguna to Yuma shortened seven miles.
 Electricity is generated to operate the pumps supplying water to the mesa
 The inverted siphon bringing the water to Yuma valley crosses the Col orado directly below the s. p bridge at Yuma at a reduced cost.
 These are some of the splendid re- suits of a change of policy announced by the reclamation service yesterday. It means that the main canal has been changed from the Arizona to the Cali fornia side of the river.
 The plan to change the main canal from the AriZonA to the California side of the river was a master stroke on the part of Francis L. Sellew. d project en- gineer. IL means a saving of thou sands of dollars to the project and it includes at least 12600 acres of mesa land to help pay for the whole propo- sition without costing any more than it would to irrigate the original amount included.
 Gila valley loses nothing by the change A small canal sufficient to carry water for the 12.0O0 acres in that valley will be brought across in com paratively inexpensive siphOn.
 Only by this plan can the power be saved By it sufficient electricity is generated to pump water to thirty per cent of the mesa. This was the de-
