tically 100000 has been expended in street
improvements. and many other corpora
tionS have made improvements, such as
putting In pipe lines, electric lines and
street railways, that will aggregate a
large amount. Then, too there are the

prosperous one Orange groves have in
creased materially in value, real estate

The Arizona Republican is in re- .cepit of a letter from one of the leaders in the Los Angeles Times scholarship contest, Miss Eva Math- ews. She is a bright hustler and The Republican gladly gives publicity Ito her desires. She says in part:
 T am a Los Angeles Times schol- arship contestant and would like vefy much the support of the Phoenix people Former contestants have re- ceived a great deal of help from there and I think that I am the person they should help this year am working for an art course in the l.. A. School of Art and Design. There are two contestants ahead of me who are working for the same school. so I will have to outrun them in order to receive what I am work ing for. All my folks are Fraternal Brotherhood members. If there is such lodge there I should be de- lighted to have their help.

The gentlemen state that they have been treated very courte- ously by the people in this section. Such information as they desired was given willingly and an effort was made to make it as accurate as possible This is in marked contrast to the re- ception the first government man in quest of this information received a few years ago The farmers then were inclined to think he was after an in side tip as to how much they were worth and what information was gath cred was worked hard for.

PRISON WELL DIGGtR
 RUNS AGAINST ROCKS
A Shaft to be Sunk to Make Way For
 The Obstructed Drill.

Governor Kibbey and Terri, arial Au- ditOr Ely returned on Wednesday night from Florence where they had gone to Investigate the difficulties encountered by Contractor Mccarthy in the sinking of well on the prison site. He had got down about sixty two feet when things came to a stand still. The point of a drill seemed to have enter ed an unexpected bed of boulders through which the drill could not go.
 The formation was such too, that the sand pump could not be operated for all the water poured in for that purpose ran out somewhere. It was finally decided to sink a shaft as far as the drill had gone and in that way remove the obstructing bOulders.
 It is not expected that water will be struck within seventy-five feet and it is not thought that water in suffi- cient volume will be encountered short of 120 feet. The well is to be eight inches in diameter. It is in the nature of a test to determine the vol tune and character of the water. It is likely that other wells will have to be sunk in the same vicinity. though this one may afford all the water that will be needed in the construction of the prison buildings.
 It is on account of the indeterminate character of the water supply that the territorial board had delayed the final award of the contract for the mechcar- ical plant of the prison.
