The Pioneer Home.

Hon. A. J. Doran is being congratu- lated on his appointment as supern- tendent of the Home for Arizona Pic, neers, to be erected in this city, says the Prescott Courier. The appoint ment came entirely unsolicited on his part, and, as is usual in sEch cases is all right. He introduced the original pioneer home bill and says he was inn pelled to do so by seeing such men as Captain Boyd, one of the discoverers of the great United Verde mine. and the late Major Pitkin, brother of Ex- Governor Pitkin of Colorado, both Arizona pioneers, die in county poor-house. MT. Doran thinks that the home will have over one hundred inmates, as soon as it is constructed, and he will urge upon the board of control its immediate construction as soon as suitable site can be secured. The appropriation for construction is S25, ,OOO, with 5000 year for maih- fanapcP

Grading Done to COurtIaud.

The Southern Pacific finished grad ing and laying of track to the new camp to Courtland last week. The survey toward Gleeson is under way and to all appearances grading will commence immediately. Brush is be- ing cleared along the route to Gleeson.
 The Mexico Colorado people have three camps at work, mostly in rock, which will require three or four months to complete. The grading at Courtland has been about completed. Track has been laid for about three miles out of Douglas, and telegraph poles have been erected several miles along the right of way.
 It is believed by all who have seen the real condition of the work so far done by the Southern Pacific that it intends to resume grading and track laying southward, but nobody is able to find out whether it intends to strike Douglas or Naco or both.

A Missouri Visit.

The following letter written to the
 Morenci Leader by Dick Lakenar will be of interest to the readers ot the Era as Mr.Nicholas is well known to all of us:
 On my return to Morenci from the north I stopped over in Springfield, | Mo-, to visit an old friend of mine, Mir. George A. Hancock, superintend- ent of motor power for the Frisco R. l R. Co. While there I met MT. Paul Nichols, former captain of mines in Morenci for the A. c. Co. under the regime of James Colquhoun, for more than twenty years. Mir. Nicholas called at the Colonial Hotel for me. 1 We drove out to his farm "Humbolt ! Place. as he calls it, named after the Humbolt mine of this place. The farm is located two miles from Springfield Nicholas drove me all over his estate in a carriage drawn by two full bloOded Kentucky horses, of the finest breed. He has the finest and best improved farm I have ever 
 like pictures that you have seen of King Edwards palace in England. Ia fact, when I first set eyes on the place, I had to pinch myself, to see if I was in a foreign country or dream ing. It is the most modern of any dwelling it has ever been my pleas ure to see. The barn has reinforced concrete floors and is built in con- parison with the house. Everything about the place bears signs of a miner. The feed for his stock is drawn out ot bins like ore is, and his cistern looks like double com partment shaft al the Humbolt.
 "I must say that never was enter tained better in all my life than I was by Mir. Nicholas, my old time mine captain that I worked for on Copper Mountain; also by his estima ble wife and rosy checked daughter, Miss Maurilla. The last words that Cap tain Nicholas said to me when I bade him goodbye, was, ''Dick tell the people of Morenci and Clifton that i f any of them ever goes east by way of Springfield, to wire me and I will meet them at the depot and take them out to Humbolt Place"
 "Nicholas is a wealthy man; his money is clean; he dug it out the ground in Copper Mountain in Mo renci. He did not bleed or trade any one out of their just earnings, and can safely say that he wears the same size hat that he wore when here min ing.

Full Production for Greene-C -Cananea

Word was given out from Cananea the latter part of last week that two more furnaces were blown in at the Greene-Cananea shelter. This makes the full battery of eight furnaces in operation and for the first time in over a year and a half, the shelter is running full blast.
 Following so closely upon the rumOrs of an impending shutdown at Cananea, the action of the company in increasing operations rather than curtailing production because of the low price of copper will necessarily create considerable comment of a nature favorable to the company and its efficient management.
 With eight furnaces in operation the output of the Cananea company will be larger than ever before in it's history as the efficiency of the re- duction works has been doubled since Dr. Ricketts took charge as general manager.
 Whether or not production on such large scale will be continued is not known, though it is reported fro Cauanea that at least seven stacks will be kept running continuously if the present plans of the manage ment remain unchanged. In some circles, however, it is believed to be an experiment.
 From detail statements of Greene Cananea opera tions, it is apparent that the company has met the de- crease in the price of the metal by lower cost of production and it is understood that the metal is being produced now at a cost of ten cents per pound or a fraction lower.

Best Treatment For Colds.

Most ordinary colds will yield to the simplest treatment" says the Chicago Tribune, "moderative laxa- lives, hot foot baths, a free perspira- tion an avoidance of exposure to cold and wet after treatment" While this treatment is simple, it requires considerable trouble, and the one adopting it must remain in doors for a day or two, or a fresh cold is almost sure to be contracted, and in many instances pneumonia follows. Is it not better to pin your faith to an old reliable preparation like Chamber lain's Cough Remedy, that is famous for its cures of colds and can always be depended upon? For sale by all druggists.

Gen. Torres Resigns From GOVernOrship

A Cauauea dispatch of March 24tt saysi
 General Luis E. Torres, rough old soldier, statesman, and leader ir every moment that seeks to advance the industrialism of Sonora and up lift his people, has turned the reins of governorship over to younger hands and retired to his former post in the Mexican army. He conyened the state legislature in an extraordi- nary session on the 16th inst, and laid before that body plea for an indefinite leave of absence, which was granted. This pratically means a resignation, and is the customary way of relinquishing the duties and title of the place he held. His retirement marks the close of one of the most successful and his- toric administrations the state has eyer known. Its crowning achieve ment was the settlement o5.the Yaqui question for all time, and the turning of all their wandering, marauding hands from a menace to public safety to an asset in developing the land they had so recently despoiled.
 As an evidence of his broad minded humane policy, one has only to cite the instance of Bule, the Yaqui chieftain, who upon his surrender, was made a ranking officer in the army that had encOmpassed his de- feat. He leaves the state better than he found it, and has a host of loyal friends to regret his unexpected decision.
 General Torres has signifed his in- tention of coming to Cananea in the immediate future for a long stay. He has secured a house in Cananea, and will bring his family and remain during summer months, and it is not unlikely that it will be regarded as his home.
 The headquarters of the First Mili- tary Zone, of which he is command er-in-chief, is at Torreon,a a small gar rison town in this state, and it is not
  manent home there. The First Mill tary Zone embraces the states of So- nora, Sinaloa and Lower California.
 While regretting the generals re- tirement, the people of Cananea have a more than ordinary confidence in Alberto Cubillas, the new execu- tive. A plodding, capable, braihy man, with no ambition save to serve his country well: no one doubts but that he will look after Sonora $ in- terests with the same unfiagging zeal that has characterized all his public services heretofore. He has been a legislator, mineral agent, secretary of state and vice-governOr. He is in thorough accord with the policies of Porfirio Diaz and is a warm personal friend of that dis l man. He has several | relatives and host of friends. Like | Torres, he is progressive and friendly ] to the foreign element in Sonora.

To Confer on New Railroad.

To confer with local promoters of the Buckeye railroad project, which is to be built under the exemption law passed in the closing days Ot the legislature, Colonel Epes Randolph, head of the Hartman branch lines in the southwest, has arrived in Phoenix.
 Randolph is here at the solicitation of people who are interested in the development of the Buckeye-Arling- ton section, and upon the decision reached as a result of this conference largely depends whether or not Buck eye is to have q railroad.
 It is now estimated that the build- ing of the steam railroad from Phoe- nix to Buckeye and Arlington will mean an expenditure of over Sl ,O0O,- O0O. The plan is to build to Buckeye as soon as possible and then to lose no time continuing to Arlington.
 In addition to thee large farming sections that will be brought in touch with an outside market by the build ing of the road to Buckeye and AIllnR IOu IuGlG dIG SGFSIdI HlluluS districts that would probably furnish a large amount of ore if they could reach a railroad such a9 contem- plated.
 Promoters arc reticent about what is being done 10 push through the railroad project. Under the law that passed the legislature, they have about ten days left in which to file their declaration of intention to build road and but a few weeks are left in which to begin and complete the actual construction Republican.

Pessimistic Talk Unwarranted in Globe

Many rumors have been current of late of the curtailment of operations by the Old Dominion Copper Mining & Smelling company, and a good deal of pessimistic talk has been heard that is unwarranted by the facts says the Belt.
 During the whole of last year a great amount of construction and development work was carried on by the Old Dominion company and the number of mechanics and miners en- ployed was correspondingly large. Nearly all. the extraordinary work has been completed and a reduction of the force followed naturally. Some of the most important mine work has been completed, notably on the 14th and 18th levels where con nections have been made between the extraction drifts and a shaft.

NEWS OF THE TERRITORY.

According to the city collector
 record there are at the present tim 134 automobile numbers in use il Tucson. These numbers were issued for runabouts, for ordinary touring cars and for the big roadsters. The value of these cars, based on al average estimate of s12O0 per car i. sI6O,OOO.
 Another rich gold strike, which may start stampede similar to the Salome excitement has been made east of Kelvin and not far from Steamboat Rock. J. H. Bates and Alex. Sears are the lucky discoVererS of the new gold find. s. D. Gardom and Phil Grigsby grubstaked them for the prospecting expedition which resulted so happily and will share equally with them in whatever they may have located.
 Four wagons loaded with material to be used in developing the Alamo group of claims north of Tucson, ac- quired some time ago by w. M. Stcr- ling, a New York capitalist, were sent out to the properties last week says the Citizen. No time will be lost in getting development oper- ations under way. Just as soon as the necessary materials can be got ten on the ground, the work of sink ing the 5OO-foot double compartment shaft will be begun.
 The Casa Grande canal in. Pinal county was sold last week by John w. Sharpe to Charles R. Sligh and w. R. Clark of Grand Rapids, Mich, tor S5O,OOO. The purchase of the canal was one detail in an irrigation pro- feet of great magnitude which the gentlemen from Michigan have been promoting for several months, but which is now said to be rendered void, for the time being at least, by the vetoiug of certain measures by Gov ernor epublican.
 The biggest crowd that has ever arrived at one time in Salome came in last week with beds and camp out fits. A fruit merchant with stock of goods was also an arrival. Her bert Shotwell, E. M., a well known engineer of Prescott, arrived with party, so the camp is assured of the services of an excellent deputy min eral surveyor. The section foreman cannot hold his gangs, for as soon as they arrive they desert for the ex- citing pastures.
 There was considerable speculation as to the successor of the late Hon. H. B. Penney as vice-president of the Consolidated National bank, and when announcement was made that Col. Epes Randolph, president of the Randolph lines in Mexico, had been elected to succeed MT. Penney, it met with universal approval. It was known that he had considerable of a stockholders interest in the bank and his election to the vice-presi- l dency follows almost as a natural consequence. The vacant position of cashier has not been filled as yet.

Yaqui Band Outrages In Sonora.

A large band of Yaquis under the leadership of Captain Friento has been active during the past several weeks in the vicinity of Guaymas and many outra ges upon small settlements on the Yaqui River railroad south of | Guaymas and northward toward May tOrena have been reported.
 In violation of the treaty recently signed with the government Friento got together d small band of "bron- cos" several weeks ago and since the organization of these outlaws they have received recruits until the new chieftain, said to be the most cruel and cunning that has ever directed the outrages of the Yaquis, has under him a band so large that the authori- ties have become alarmed for the fate of every outlying settlement in southwestern Sonora.
 All of the posts along the railroad line have been strengthened and 125O troops of infantry together with as many as are available as the state rural guards have been called 10 the scene.
 Under the treaty recently signed with the government each member of the Yaqui tribe was given a document which signlfed that he had surrCn- dered to the authority of the Mexican government and giving him immunity from persecution for deeds committed before the treaty was signed.
 Since the latest Outrages have cast a gloom over the settlements close to the coast and along the railroad, special messengers have been sent un- der a white flag, into the camps ot the enemy to take up any of these docu- ments in the possession of the rebels. Those who surrender their paroles will merely be looked upon in the light of belligerents to put down in the manner that has been used during the aqui rebellion of the past half century but those who refuse to sur render their paroles will be considered traitors and will be shot if captured.

Brought Men Here.

Sheriff Young brought back from
Salina today three men who are
chaged with breaking into a bunk
car west of town and stealing ST.
and some goods belonging to labor

the salina streets yesterday, j. 1.
The three men are tramps appar-
emily. The prisoners denied being in
Abilene and said they had come in
from Denver. Sheriff Young and
the police then separated the bunch
and selected one of the prisoners
for sweating. He admitted they
were in Abilene and it is believed
they will get a confession of the rob-
berry from the man. The stuff stolen
out of the car was in the shape Of ra-
