chief features of the plan is its econ

commissioners exceeds that Of the
aldermanic system, in the long run, it
Is cheaper for the citizens and large

men regarding the plan which has
been tried with success in Houston,
Cedar Rapids and Des MONIES and be-
lieve that it is the best thing for the
city of Keokuk.' .
The main arguments advanced by
Father Giglinger in favor of the plan,
was that it does away with the pres
ent aldermanic system Of government
and puts the affairs Of the city in
the hands of men who are able to de-
vote their whole time to the city's
needs. Father Giglinger said that he
had spoken in general with number
Of the men of his parish and those with
whom he has talked regarding the

dam for diverting water into it has recently been completed at Granite Reef, below the old Arizona dam. The Arizona canal has been enlarged, strengthened, and greatly improved, and the entire distribution system of the north side of the canal has been remodeled and almost entirely recon structed, effecting considerable eco nomy of water and far more efficient service than ever before.
 A canal to connect Granite Reef dam with the south side system of canals Is under construction and will soon be completed. When this is ac- complished the Granite Reef dam will serve as Q heading for the entire canal systems on toth sides of the river, with the exception of some small can als that pick up seepage water from the river in the lower part of the valley.
 The Salt river project as a whole is about 75 per cent completed.
 The Yuma project provides for the diversion of Colorado River into it's valley on both sides about 12 miles northeast of Yuma. It will irrigate about 17, ,O0O acres of land on the Cal- ifornia side, mainly on an Indian re- servation, and about 75,000 acres on the Arizona side. The dam will have total length of 4.78O feet, a width of 257 feet, and a maximum height of l9 feet. The construction of this dam was given under contract in July, 1905, but owing to the uncertainties of river control it finally became ne- cessary for the Reclamation service to assume it's construction under force account. A spur railroad has been built connecting with the main line of the Southern Pacific. and the final closure of the river is now being made Barring unexpected catas: rophes, the dam will be completed during the current winter and water will be turn ed into the canal on the California side some time next summer.
 The Yuma project as whole is B per cent completed.

 He was last heard from on Decem- Der 10th in San Francisco, where he had gone on a business trip. He in tended 10 leave San Francisco for Pittsburg oc that day.
 The Citizen says that his wife, who has been staying at the mine camp near Patagonia, arrived in Tucson yester- day. She is almost distracted over the disappearance of her husband and enlisted the aid of the local lodge of EIks, to which MT. Cox belonged, in the effort to get some trace of him. She fears teat he was waylaid or sandbagged as he had considerable money with him.

YELLOW GOLD.
Yuma Again Announces Her Claim to
 Attention.

A gold strike that promises to send men scurrying into country near Ehrenberg. has just been made by H.. R. Adams, who has returned to Los Angeles to report his discovery to his associates, says the Yuma Sun.
 From samples of quartz carrying large nuggets of puro gold, something unusual has been discovered. and If the find holds out. stampede to the pew digging is bound to follow.
 The new strike in measure serves to locate the origin of the old placer deposits of the district from which in two years some $5. 5.OOo,ooo in placer gold was extracted wkile the La Paz excitement was on. One sample that Adams brought back is the size of a mans fist and carried nuggets of pure gold weighing nearly $5. The rock is scanned with gold, and, being a white quartz and the metal being exception ally free. makes a dazzling specimen.
 Recently Adams located a group of copper silver claims in the district and sold them to close corporation of Los Angeles He retained four. Trench ing across a fifteen foot cropping of quartz, he encountered the bonanza streak. The entire ledge shows free gold. Some assays show free milling rock to the value of $500 per ton; the bonanza rock easily runs $1O,O00 per ton.
 Adams will return to Ehren berg for a shipment of the rich rock. and an ticipates even greater results as he follows the streak down ward. The find is situated twelve miles east of Ehren berg.
 II have never seen anything to equal this territory" says Adams, land I have prospected for fifteen years both in western Arizona and eastern California. I am going to develop this deposit as have sufficient money coming from the sales I have made. The mine being only short distance from the Colorado river, I can haul ore there and treat it at comparatively little cost"

A BONANZA.
Fl Otate Gold Mine in Sonora Has Rich
 Ore.

Fl Otate gold mine, some & miles southeast from Llano station on the Sonora railroad, is certainly proving a bonanza. It is an old mine supposed to have been worked by the ancients who were driven out by large volume of water. The property belongs to Fl Otate- Gold Mining Company, an in corpafation under the lava of Arizona. MT. Wm. McGee, of McGee's Mills, in Pennsylvania, is the president; L. H. Jansen. engineer of mines, vice. president, and w. P. Ross. superin- tendent at the mines.
 The first work of unwatering the property was quite an undert akin 2 re- quiring large pump before the lower workings were reached. In cleaning out the old workings ledge of ore was found sixteen feet wide carrying gold all through the ore of high value, some five feet of which yields from $50 to 300 in gold per ton. Several hundred tons of this ore have been placed on the dump and daily more is being added. At depth of about 40 feet the old drifts were found, one of which is over 100 feet In this drift there is a large ledge of gold ore in which the gold can be seen all through the ore. They have also broken into some old workings on vein at right angles to the one they are following in which they found old ladders, or escaleras, some mining i'm plements and horn spoon for testing the ore. The president is quite m terested and is at tho mine with the superintendent watching developments. In November the directors placed a small amount of treasury stock on the market for sale at 25 cents share and appointed some agents. In De- cember. at the regular meeting, the agencies were all cancelled, and all parties which the company owed re- quested their pay in the company's stock at this price, and the secretary palQ all the DlllS WlGu SuaT6S Ol LuG company. There are yet few shares left of the amount placed at this price but they will all be taken up very soon.
 It is intended to thoroughly open up the property and when develop ments sho w what kind of mill is needed and the mine warrants it's erection, to put it up and pay divl- dends. The property is opening up so far as we'll as any person could hope for and way beyond the expectations of any one connected with it, It certainly is a very live mine.
 Since writing the above we are in receipt of letter from President Me Gee in which he says "the old work ings are found to be more extensive than we expected " They are now clea ming out old workings as deep as 200 feet and all the ore is chock full of visible gold. Width and average of vein will soon be known Tucson Miner and Stockman.
