CITY COMPLETES
 BIG WATER DEAL
(From Fridays Daily.)

Some idea of the magnitude of the water resources of the Del Rio springs and the revenue the city de- rives from them through one avenue of consumption, was learned yesterday from an interesting statement given out by City Engineer Hall, covering recent water supply demand made upon them by the Santa Fe railroad system.
 MT. Hall says that yesterday the city commenced filling the largest water contract ever entered into be- tween the city and that railroad and the probabilities were that the vast amount of water to be delivered will run for several months. The number of gallons of water to be delivered daily is 100000, or by measurement in transportation facilities it will re- quire a train of forty ears to handle the same. The time consumed in fill ing the many tanks will run to about seven minutes each, which GOV CTS all moving and other handling duties. This time is based on the running of the big pump under or dinary pressure.
 The big water supply above will be distributed over the railway system from Ash Fork west, and in some cases other than railroad circles will be supplied.
 The steady drain of the springs to meet this heavy demand, MT. Hall says, does not in the least affect the resoureeful flow. No matter how heavy the drain the volume is not | decreased in the least. To make any appreciable effect new and extensive machinery will have to be placed, more than the present demand of the railroad, the city and Fort Whipple would justify by double the present consumption from each.
 The ordinary sources of water sup ply along the Santa Fe are said to be practically exhausted at the pres ent time of the year, hence the filling of this unusually heavy contract.

PRISONER ADMITS HE
 ATTEMPTED MURDER
fFrem Wednesdays Daily.)

Some surprises were sprung yester- day at the session of the district court when the case of Faustino Ri vera was called for trial, when he pleaded guilty to the charge of at tempted murder, his intended victim being Wiley Woodruff.
 This case will be recalled as one of the most dastardly that ever oc- cured in this county. MT. Woodruff at the time of receiving a bullet at the hands of Rivera was a resident of Poland and while in the perform ance of a social duty at a dance at that place. acted more as a peace maker than as an aggressor, when Ri vera and others protested against car rying out the dance program. After MT. Woodruff peaceably settled the dispute, he believed the trouble was such a trivial one that he left the hall to go to his home. He had just reached the outside of the building when he was shot and fell to the ground.
 He recognized Rivera as his assail ant and the latter immediately left the place, corroborating the general belief that he was the perpetrator ot the foul deed. Mir. Woodruff fingered between life and death for severa, weeks, the bullet piercing his abdo men. In tfe meantime Rivera tool to the hills and after one of th' most sensational pursuits in crimina chapters of the county, Sheriff Smitl ran Rivera down near Octave.
 From that day to yesterday River' maintained his innocence and in an swer to questions put before him b, MT. Woodruff in a private interview at the county iail. stolidly maintainet his innocence. His reversal of tn former statements made came as decided surprise to many in the cour room when he openly proclaimed hi guilt. The many witnesses from Pc land were pleased at this eonfessio as it will permit them to return t their homes and their business pul suits without going through the lon ordeal of a trial, as was promise through the personal popularity 0 MT. Woodruff, who had several wi nesses to corroborate his version c

MUCH WORK AHEAD FOR
 MINE CODE COMMISSION
From Thursdays Daily,

From C. J. Kimbell, a member of the Arizona mining code commission, who reached the city yesterday after attending a general meeting of that body in Phoenix last week, important information is gleaned from that gath ering, which is of vital interest to the mining fraternity. The meeting of few days ago was for the pur- pose of definitely outlining the future work and matters were discussed from a general standpoint, in which several large mining company representatives participated.
 While nothing specific was decided upon, it was the desire of the mem bers to hold another general meeting some time next summer, when an open session will be available to the pub lie, whether directly or indirectly, in terested in the industry this organiza- tion covers. In the meantime, says MT. Kimbell, it is the earnest wish of the members of the commission that any suggestions or any informa- tion pertaining to mining laws, be submitted to the secretary at Phoe- nix and he would suggest that any date from the present will be ac- ceptable.
 At the meeting next summer it is the purpose of the commission to have a preliminary code of mining laws framed and at a later meeting of the board the adoption of the most useful code will be decided upon, and in a compact form it will be sub mitted to Governor Sloan and later by him sent to the legislature for en- actment into law. The final meeting of this commission will cover SIX days, that being the statutory limit, in or der to give every interest, corporate or individual, an opportunity to be heard in any channel it is desired.
 MT. Kimbell says that it is prob. able that the future meetings of the commission will be generally repre-. sentative and the attendance heavy. This is learned from the interested corporations and the individual ex- press at the present time. One of the most important measures to re- eeive earnest consideration at the forthcoming meetings will be the en. actment into a law of the mine in. spection bill, which it is said will be reported on by the commission Many other regulative matters will 1 likewise be enacted into laws, and in which the leading industry of the territory will be relieved of the GUS tomary biennial assault when the leg i islature assemblies to consider one and other questions at the fancy ot any who desire to carry out a per sonal whim, good, bad or otherwise.
 Will L. Clark, the president ot the commission, returned to the nortl with MT. Kimbell, proceeding to Jer one, where he is the general manager of the United Verde Copper com pany. MT. Kimbell will go to tn,
 Crown King this morning, where h,
 has mining interests.

PHOENIX SOCIETY GIVES
 MRS. SLOAN RECEPTION
(From Fridays Daily)


 One of the largest and most enjoy able of the social functions of the present season was the reception giv- en in honor of Mrs. Richard E. Sloan by Mrs. Walter Talbot, state regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution yesterday afternoon, says the Phoenix Republican. The reeep- ception was strictly a D. A. R. affair, large percentage of the 15O guests wearing the emblem of the order-the miniature spinning wheels. It was at the residence of Mrs. Talbot on North Seventh avenue.
 The rooms were prettily decorated with a profusion of roses. In the re- ceiving line were Mrs. Talbot and the officers of the Carieopa chapter of the D. A. R. They are Mrs. G. W.. viekers, chapter regent; Mrs. A. J. Edwards. vice regent; Mrs. W. E. Pal mer, registrar; Mrs. E. c. F. Bond, historian; Miss A. NJ. Fowler, seere- tary, and Miss Angie Parker, treas urer.

PARKER TOWNSHIP SALE
 HAS BEEN POSTPONED

The auction sale by the United States government of the lots in the Parker townsite has been indefinitely postponed, says the Phoenix Republi- can.
 The date for the sale had been fixed by Secretary Ballinger of the interior department for December 21. Advices were received by mail at the local land office. yesterday from Commissioner Dennett that the sale is to be postponed, but that the work of taking proofs shall continue. No date for the sale was announced, but it is supposed at the land office that the sale will be held within reasonable time-perhaps shortly af- ter the first of the year.
 While no reason was given in the letter for the postpOnement it IS the general opinion that the time an- nounced for the sale gave those who are making their proofs too short time. As all applications to make proof of improvement for thirty days after action is taken on them this would give but a few days for the commissioners to act on the appliea- tions.
 There are nearly 800 applications for preference rights at Parker; that is. there are 300 persons who claim to have permits from the superin- tendent of the Colorado River Indian reservation to settle on lots in the Parker townsite. By naming four witnesses and establishing proof of settlement and improvements these sduatters will have the right to buy in their lots at the assessed valua- tions, which in every case is far under the real value of the land. The assessed valuations run from s to $50 a lot.
 Final proof has to be received ac- eording to the law on every one of these applications before the date of the public sale. This means a great deal of clerical and other work; it also means that the commissioner would hardly have time in which to investigate the validity of all the claims provided any of them required investigation. On this latter point perhaps the whole matter hinges. It will be remembered that about ten days ago a corps of men was sent to Parker to conduct a sort of prelim- mary investigation of conditions there. These men acted under the direction of F. c. Dezendorf, chief of the sixth division of the field service of the general land office. It may be that they have come upon con- flicting claims to the same lots; or some of those who have settled on lots may lack the necessary authority from the Indian agent-any one or all of these causes would be sufficient to entangle the Parker tOwnsite af' fairs sufficiently to warrant post ponement of the date of sale til the matters can be adjusted. In the meanwhile, all those who are making application for proof should continue just as though the sale had not been put off.
 The date of sale will probably b' announced in the course of a few days.

SOLDIERS ARRIVE HERE
 FROM THE PHILIPPINES
From Wednesdays Daily.)


 Yesterday forenoon four companies of the famous Eighteenth United States infantry with the machine gun platoon, comprising about thirty skill ed men in this arm of the service, reached Whipple barracks to take sta lion. They came direct from the Philippine Islands, where they have been in service for two years. Reach ing San Francisco after the long ocean voyage they rested but twenty four hours, and from that city pro- ceeded to their destination at the above post. The entire regiment was taken over the Santa Fe, the other two battalions proceeding east.
 Eight Pullman tourists and one Pullman standard made up the train service with three special baggage coaches. The command totals over $50 men, including officers, with Major Kirby in command. The side track at the barracks yesterday was the center of considerable activity and the precision which prevail ed in each company unloading and caring for its effects was accom- plished in remarkable time.
 Two of the companies that arrived are strong in numbers, reaching a total of seventy-five men each, while the others are up to the maximum strength of sixty-five men each. Per sonaIly they are a splendid type of the American soldier and those seen yesterday expressed their pleasure at the appearance of the new station and the environment, the climatic eondi- tions of this altitude creating a fa- vorable change to that of the far away islands.
 In military circles the Eighteenth is highly regarded and is one of the effective fighting forces of the army. They have passed through a long career in the Philippines and are en- titled to the rest and recreation on the home land that is before them.
 Company F of the Fifteenth which has been doing garrison duty at Whip ple for several weeks, will leave this morning for Fort Douglas, Utah, join ing their regiment at that post. They are also an orderly lot of men and many of them have made strong friends in civilian circles during their brief sojourn.
 The hospital corps on duty at Whip ple is not affected by the change ot the incoming or outgoing troops, this being their permanent station.
 Officers and men express them selves as pleased over the fine bar racks awaiting them. The post was yesterday the scene of life and ami nation at all points and the empty houses created a refreshing change to that which has been in evidence for so many months by the teeming hu- manity that occupied them for the first time since they were constructed

Where Everyone Helps.

Whenever the people of Pennsyl-
vania go to the polls in anything
like their full numbers, they roll
up Republican majority that is
the wonder and admiration of the
Republicans of the rest of the
country. These maiorities have
put the state at the head of the Re-
publican column and made it the
leader of Republican policy and
sentiment.
There never has been time
when a large and Overwhelming
Republican majority from Penn
sylvania was more needed than
it is this year. 1t is not merely
question of electing the Republican
candidates for state Offices; it is the
more important one of giving sup
port to the real principles and pur-
poses of the party.
Those principles and purposes
found their truest advocate and
representatives in the Senators and
Republicans members of Congress
from Pennsylvania during the re-
cent extra session struggle over
tariff revision. They won their
fight against both Democrats and
Middle West Republicans, who
had broken away from the safe
anchorage of the party on the pro-
lection question, and they should
be overwhelmingly endorsed.
Can there be any doubt about
where Pennsylvania stands?
Certainly not. What is needed
however, is such demonstration of
its position as can be best given by
an overwhelming Republican ma
jority at the coming election.
Every Republican should contri-
butte to this, for the result will
have unusual significance.
