Mining Co., consisting or aDout 4U acres in the Sulphur Spring valley adjacent to their mining property, cleared $3000 above expenses the past season in addition to furnish ing supplies for the mine force and provender for 30 hogs and other live stock.
 Range News: The coldest snap that has hit Wilcox for the past thirty years was experienced Satur- day night and Sunday. The ther- mometer at the U. s. weather sta tion at Wilcox registered three above zero early Sunday morning. Water pipes suffered as a conse- quence of the extreme cold, even cases of pipes breaking in houses.
 Coconino Sun: Mir. J. c. Brown, the Santa Fe line man, has receiv- ed word that material has been ordered and the telegraph will be superseded next spring by the telephone in dispatching trains on the Coast Lines. The telephone has worked successfully west on the shorter branches of the Santa Fe and officials have concluded to make the change.
 Coconino Sun: The largest pas senger engine in the world went through Flagstaff Wednesday about II o'clock attached to a special train filled with officers of the road. The engine was a monster, 105 feet in length and looked big enough to pull three miles of freight cars up hill. It will be used on the heavy grades through the Tehachipe pass.
 Benson Press J. F. Ward, who has fine artesian ranch south of Benson, was in town today inves- tigating with reference to a beet sugar factory in this valley, and stated that a prime requisite was the chance to pick up plenty of help on short notice, and he stated that there is no place in this south western country so favorably situated as Benson in that respect. Any soil in this valley produces heavy crops of fine beets, and the whole valley, so far up as Here ford, would be available to draw on for beets.
 Tucson Tribune: w. c. Greene, Epes Randolph and L. H. Man ming, the two latter of Tucson, are spending a large sum of money in the erection of a huge dam west oi Tucson, in the vicinity Of Red Rock, for the storage of water for irrigation purposes. It is expected that large tract of fertile land will be reclaimed by this en. terprise and that many hundred acres have been taken up with the purpose of cultivating it as soon as the irrigation water is provided Water storage is the means by which a great deal of the arid land: of Arizona will be reclaimed in the future.

road. There has for years been numerous complaints of horse and buggy racing on the public roads in that section and # is a wonder that other serious accidents have not occurred before. It is reported that conflicting testimony was given at the trial by those inter- ested as witnesses and this matter will have to be settled by a jury. AS is usually the case nobody was responsible, but at the same time one woman was killed and another seriously injured and those res- ponsible for it should be made to suffer.
 Graham Bulletin: Sheriff An derson, who went to Salt Lake last month bearing a special message from Governor Sloan of Arizona to the chief executive of the state of Utah, reqesting him to lend Ari- zona the use of a couple of Utah citizens for an indefinite length of time and that the bearer of the message (called in Illegal parlance" a requisition) Sheriff Anderson would see that when they were turned over to him that he would see them safely back to Arizona, and in keeping of this promise Sheriff Anderson came in Tuesday morning of last week, accompanied by Messrs. Kimball and Shipp, of Salt Lake City, whose presence in the valley is every much desired by quite a number of the valley people. And it will be necessary for these gentlemen to explain to the satisfaction of the court and d jury of their peers, why it was that they persuaded so many of the people of the valley to part with the "coin of the realm" for the stock in a worthless banana plantation in the wilds of Old Mexico. In the meantime while awaiting the next session of the district court to be held next April they will have their choice of free board and room at the county bastile or give bonds to the amount of $5000 each for their appearance at court.

 Italian criminals. It is said he had more convictions for murder to his credit than any five policemen connected with the detective bureau. In his work he incurred the enmity of Italian criminals, and the report of his death in Italy leads to the belief that he at last fell a victim to those whom he had so relentlessly prose- cuted
 He went to Italy more than year ago to work on a plan suggested by Police Commissioner Bingham. the basis of which was to be the adoption of means to check the tide of undesirable Italian and Sicilians to this country and par ticularly to New York city. A native of Italy and a man of great experience on the local police force Petrosino was the best al-round man to accomplish the mission. A private subscription was started and S33,00l was raised. With this to defray the expense of the undertak- ing Petrosino left for his native land to establish bureaus through which 1t was hoped to keep such complete rec ords that the news of the departure from Italy or Sicily of any criminals could be flashed to this country almost immediate ly so that the authorities here could be on the alert and prevent their landing or place them under arrest.
 Petrosino was so accustomed to receive threatening communications and of hear ing threats against his life that he paid little attention to them. It is said he had been warned against going to Paler- mo.

Investigation Ordered.

Washin gton, March 13.-(Specia1.) )- The state department today cabled the American ambassador at Rome to in- vestigate thoroughly and report prompt ly on the killing of Detective Petrosino al Palermo. This is far as the United States government can go un- til the legal tribunals of Italy have passed on the case.
 The proceeding Is just the same as if Italy were to make representations to this government on the killing of an Italian in any one of the states. In the case of the Italians who were lynched at New Orleans, the state de- the case of the Italians who were that the governor of Louisiana would first have to dispose of the case and that a fair trial was to be expected.
 The United States maintained this position all through the controversy with the Italian ambassador, Baron Fava, and certain sums were paid to the heirs of the persons who were lynch ned. The state department while assuming that the trial would be fair and that the offenders will be punished is nevertheless observing the progress of the proceedings. All the state de- partment could do would be to make fresh representations to Italy in the event that there was a denial of jus tice.

Tombiqbee Is Busy.

Meridian, Miss, March 13.-(Special)- Parties in today from Epps report that the river at that point is the highest in 25 Sears. All lowlands are flooded and while there has been loss of life re- ported the Tombigbee swamps are under water and a number of herds of cattle are lost. The waters were rising last night and with the continued rains north and east of Meridian in the territory that drains into the Tombigbee the river will rise even higher by Sunday noon Re rorts from sections immediately surround ing Meridian are that creek bottoms gre under water. Close to the city where early truck has been planted in low ground water stands several inches deep on the growing vegetation and serious loss to the growers Is inevitable.

FRENCHMEN WIN
 WALKING MATCH

Madison Square Garden, New York. March 13.-(Special.) )-Cibot and Orphee, the young Frenchmen who won the re- cent Bordeaux-Paris race, added to their honors tonight by winning the interna- tional six-day -you-please contest, which ended here at 100S o'clock tonight. The two youngsters traversed 732 miles and six laps in the 142 hours of the race, being 3715 miles behind the worlds record set by Hegelman and Cavanaugh in 1902
 The reconstructed team of Davis and Metkus finished in second place, 171a miles in front of Pat Dineen, the veteran Bos- ton pedestrian. and his mate, Bill Prou- ty, who travelled TOP miles. Ten teams and David Hartley, the oldest man in the race who ran three days alone, finished. out of the original q teams. The men who continued to the end had been in the fray for the past two days and all were in good physical condition except ing for the pain of the weary legs and blistered feet.
 Early this morning the French team had a lead of more than 20 miles, but the second team gradually cut this down to Il miles and one lap. Davis and Met kus recovered their lost ground lap after lap and mile after mile, but the French men were cautious not to let them re- gain too much so as to make them dangerous.
 The teams with the exception of the first two finished more than 20 miles be- tween each other in their relative posi- tions. which were as follows
