Bradford Site Recommended.

Private advices received by this pa
per from Washington announce that
the postoffice inspector recently in
this city for the purpose of examin-
ing the sites offered for the Federal
building, had recommended the
Bradford property on South Market
street as the location for the proposed
building. Ever since the conditions
governing the requirement of prop
erty for government purposes became
known it has been the concensus OF
opinion that the Bradford property
would be selected, as it was the only
site outside of the Sixteenth section
which was offered, save one or two
others which were so far out as to
remove the question of their accept
ability from consideration. The rec
ommendation of the inspector now
goes to the department and after his
recommendation is approved it re-
mains to be seen whether this prop
erty can be acquired except by con-
demnation proceedings, as all other

tanned.
While all other sites offered are
in the Sixteenth section, this site is
entailed by the will of the late Mrs.
Bradford until her son, Mr.. Jack
Bradford, the legatee, is twenty-five
years old, and it is understood that
this will be several years to come.
While in the opinion of some law
yers the will can be broken and this
property secured, in the opinion of
other lawyers just as eminent and
as learned the property is tied up
unconditionally and unquestionably
until the terms of the will are COM
piled with. This question will now
be investigated by the legal depart
ment of the Washington government
and then it will be learned whether
a good title can be secured to this
property at the present time.
In the meantime, the postoffice
will remain where it is at present, in
the city hall, until the new federal
building it located and completed.

be one of unusual Importance, as it is
in sessiontaoin etaoin etaoin etaoin ly

sociation. At the last annual meet
ing of the Mississippi Synod, which
was held at Jackson last fall a reso-
luton providing for the consolida-
ton of the Tom beckbee and Chicka-
saw Presbyteries was adopted, and
this, of course, necessitated the unit
ing of the tx o missionary unions con-
nected with Presbyteries affected by
the resolution. Both of the unions
had their regular officers under the
old plan of organization, and one of
the matters to come before the meet
ing which is to be held here next

of the association as at present con-
stituted

the First Presbyterian church, and
the initial meeting will take place at
$3.50 o'clock next Wednesday after
noon, being devoted to the transac-
tion of important business. AS stat

the remainder of the time will be
given over to the reading and discus
sion of papers dealing with mission
ary work.
At eight o'clock Wednesday even
ing there will be an address by DR.
J. c. Reavis, coordinate secretary of
foreign missions, with headquarters
at Nashville, Tenn, and at the con-
clusion of the address the delegates
will be rendered a reception by the
ladies of the First Presbyterian
church. This reception will take
place in the Sunday school room of
the church, and will afford the people
of Columbus an opportunity to be-
come acquainted with the visiting
delegates and to extend to each in
dividual a cordial welcome to the
city.
At eleven o'clock Thursday morn
ing there will be an address by Miss
V. G. Lee, medical missionary to
China. Miss Lee, who is a graduate
of we'll known school of medicine,
and has full authority TO write M.

years in the larger Chinese cities, and
her extended experience in foreign
fields viii make her lecture exceed
fngly profitable to all who are inter
ested in missionary work.
The principal features on the pro-
gram are outlined above, and the
meeting, which will bring about 80
delegates here, will probably adjourn

4 swell Attraction.

The Musical Shirleys, who are ap-
pearing at Dreamland this week, are
decidedly the most accomplished ar
fists that Messrs. Byrnes & Smith,
the enterprising managers OF this
popular place of amusement, have
ever offered their patrons. The
Shirleys are expert performers on
cornets, violins, trumpets and xylo-
phones, while Mr.. Shirley can justly
lay claim to his title as king of the
saxaphone."
Notwithstanding the inclement
weather large crowds attended the
opening performances Monday after
noon and evening and all were thor
oughly pleased. The Shirleys remain
throughout the week, while the illus
trated songs and moving pictures
change nightly, as usual.

SUP'T TEMPLE TALKS
BUSINESS CONDITIONS
Railroad Man Says Freight
Movements on Increase and
Mining Production Greater,

H. J. Temple, the superintendent of
the Cananea, Yaqui & Pacific railroad
with headquarters at Naco, was in
Tucson yesterday comforting with the
officials of the main offices of the
Randolph lines.
Mr. Temple was very optimistic in
discussing railroad and business CON
dtti0ns throughout Sonora. Every
thing is beginning to pick up there
and the railroads are handling more
business than they have done for
quite a WHILE" he said 'The mines
Of the section are opening up and last
week we handled sixty-eigat tons Of
ore through Naco. Additional men
are being put to work by the various
companies and the output of the mines
is steadily on the increase.
Business conditions as q conse-
quence are generally better than they
have been. More men are at work,
more wages are being paid and there
is. more money in circulation for the
business men. 1t looks as though the
fall is going to be good. -

PLEASED WITH
THE SITUATION
General Manager of Greene
Cananea Mining and SmeIt-
ing Interests and Superin-
tendent Kirk in Tucson.

TUCSON, Aug. 2S.-Among the dis
tinguished visitors to Tucson this
week may be mentioned DIR. L. d.
ricketts,, general manager of tAe ex-
tensive Greene-Cananea mining and
smelling interests in Cananea, and J.
II. Kirk, superintendent of the mines
of the same. Dr. Ricketts, in recent
years has been identified with the
Phelps Dodge general and large inter
ests in Arizona, at Bisbee, Douglas,
Globe and Morenci in particular. No
msn in his profession is more widely
known in the west and no man stands
higher professionally and socially
than DR.. Ricketts,.
DR.. Ricketts, said that there are
$500 men working for the company
at the present time at the mines
and smeters, to include as well office
men who attend TO business in Rom
quillo, the town created by the opera
tors of the mining company. This
force, the general manager said, VIII
be increased as occasion demanded.
The equipment in all departments
were never in better shape and a
very large tonnage of ore is treated
daily, fully equal TO what has been
handled prior TO shutting down last
winter. As required, there will be
improved machinery added, said Rick
etts, but not likely before copper goes
up few points higher.
Referring to the CananeatNGgales
branch, DIR. Ricketts, said the 90-mile
stretch of rail would be completed
at the end of three months from date.
The opening of this line will be great
" appreciated as it will enable the
company and merchants to bring in
supplies that does not have to come
under bond. as at present. This will
include lumber and bread stuffs, two
very essential needs. Besides, the
Southern Pacific Railway company
will have a direct route to Cananea,
of course from the east a longer haul
than at present The difference will
be the elimination Of the Ell Paso &
Southwestern railway so far as the s.
P. is concerned in respect to heavy
hauls.
DR.. Ricketts, looks forward TO vast
" improved conditions in the fall and
winter and said ne was greatly
pleased even now with conditions,
which have necessarily changed in
view of the improvements brought
about by the general manager.

Section 10 reads as follows:
That in case the petitioner has not

are citizens of the United States, upon
notice to the Bureau of immigration
and Naturalization and the United

which said witnesses may reside"
In taking these dispositions two
methods may be employed:

a copy of the said commission.
The date of taking such testimony

said to have been engaged and to
have taken their blankets and dun

two dozen horses and mules with the
necessary wagons had arrived at the
pueblo across the line. having come
cross country from Cananea.
About all the satisfaction the aver

going out to build q wagon road 70

who was at all observing that the
party was ratner larger than would be
necessary for any such an undertaking.
The Dispatch has been making inquiT-

party is a railroad engineering party
and that construction of a line paral-
telling the international boundary and

stuction at no distant day.
According to the story this engineer
ing outfit is the direct aftermath Of
party which started out from here
about two weeks ago, ostensibly on a

to make reconnaissance of the ground
On the return of that party the engin-
