PENNSYLVANIA IS PLEASED WITH
 SHOWING
Finds Matters Progress ing Satisfactorily On
 Central Arizona
From Saturdays paflyl


 Following a personal examination of the properties of the Central Ari- zona Copper company, c. A. Wood, of Crampian, Pa, yesterday made the frank and candid statement that ne was decidedly impressed with the en- terprise.
 MT. Wood also approved of the methods prevailing in development and the purpose of the management in outlining an extensive system of mine work for the future. Fortified as this gentleman is behind a practi- cal knowledge of mineralogy, his statements carry that degree of weight which the management feel pleased over entertaining and which IS received as a wholesome endorse ment of the enterprise so far as practical forethought and experience are to be considered.
 MT. Wood was decidedly pleased with the principle of the company to reach great depth and to practically exploit the mineral system without any intention for the present to treat the ores in reduction at the works, saying that the product mined would later be handled and the mine work was the principal question for the company to consider at the present time, or until the tonnage would jus tify a reduction plant. On this point

HUNTERS ESTABLISH RECORD.
(From Saturdays Daily

With record of four deer, six coyotes, numerous quail and rabbits by the score, John Lindell and wife and J. F. Hamilton, who is inter ested in the Bar Diamond ranch, ar rived in the city yesterday morning. They state that the hunting this year is better than it has been for many seasons and they had great sport in the Juniper mountains. They also killed one porcupine as well as three skunks. Despite the fact that the county pays bounties for skunk hides, the hunters decided that enduring the odor would not compensate for the bounty and they left the skunks be- hind.

Mir. Woods is emphatic. He recalls the many failures that have taken place not alone in the mining but other business pursuits, through the nasty and i'll advised methods of in- troducing macmnery when the avail able resources were inadequate to sup port the mecnanIcal end of the move ment Accordingly he was pleased aI- ter a strenuous week of examination of the entire mineral system own ed, to be permitted to openly endorse the project.
 He will remain in this section for several days to come and contem- plates another trip to the property. He is a representative man of the Keystone state, engaged in manufae- turing and the lumber industry. AsIue from his mission on mining he is Im- pressed with this section of the ter ritOry and carries to his home pleas ant impressions of his advent to the county.
 J. B. Cleveland, the capable su- perintendent of the property, was with MT. Wood at the company S camp and will return this morning. He says the new electrical equip ment is in position and when the Arizona Power company make con- neetion the entire plant will be start ed up under the new order. This will be accomplished next week.

District Court Proceedings.

Judge Holbrook held an adj
iourned session of the district
court Tuesday at Conejos. Ross
Hollingsworth, with whose crimes
the public is familiar, was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for IL
wears and six months at hard labor
us IA result of the forgeries he
committed in the name of A. D.
Lawton, manager of the ConeJos
Touring mills. Hollingsworth
plead guilty and WAS sentenced as
above. While serving his time
lie will also be given credit on the
old charges. five to six years for
his robbery of the D. & X. 6. rail
road while agent at Alamosa,
five to six years on account OF the
Pullman company and three to
five years on account of the Globe
express company, IA years being
the longest time possible. He was
taken to Canon City Wednesday.
There were no mitigating circum-
stances III the case of Hollings-
worth. He had carefully arranged
his last trip by sending out letters
in advance to the firms he expected
TO work with his bad checks. The
letters stated that Mr.. Hollings-
worth was going east on purchas-
ing trip for the ConeJos Roller
Mills Co. and any favors shown
would be appreciated and forged
to them Manager A. j. Lawton's
name. These letters he mailed
before he left Conejos. He also
planned to take along a box of
cigars that cost $50 he had
ordered through local house but
the manager was suspicious and
demanded payment on delivery
and he onl y got away with half
dozen of the aristocratic weeds.

Prospects for a rapid but healthy

Prospects for rapid but healthy
growth not only for La Jara but
for all the towns of Conejos county
were never brighter. The cutting
up of the large ranches will make
room for thousandmore families.
The draining of the wet lands will
render productive several thousand
acres not now cultivated. Reser-
voir waters and drainage waters
will be ample for the irrigation of
every agricultural acre within the
boundaries of the county. Every
quarter section in the county will
within few years be supporting
its happy family. Negotiations
are even now in progress with our
friends across the river, the Cos
tilla Estates Co.. for the use of
the waters accumulated from the
draining of wet lands whereby the
drainage systems may be built
without one cent of expense to the
property owners of the various
districts. On top of all this, which
appears to be certain of accom-
plishment within few years,
comes Mr.. Hulit with his electric
power scheme for pumping water
for irrigation. All of these things
make for a greater population but
of course time is required to work
them out and at present the mer-
camille houses in the various towns
are numerous enough to care for
the business of the county and
more at this time would be folly
There is always room for the in
dustrious farmer. however, there
cannot be too many of him. Let
him come and his reward will be
ample.
