A Bad Bill In Congress,

eff bill should pass through con gress making it necessary for the re-
 clamation service to obtain the con- sent of congress before eXpending any money upon any project or pro- iects, the results would. in my opinion, be very disastrous indeed and might result in the total breaking up of the organiZa tion," said Engineer J. D. Stannard, supervising engineer in charge of the Salt river valley pro- ject, to Gazette reporter. Engineer Staunard had just been shown d dis patch stating that Representative Tnglebright of California had intro duced d bill in congress requiring the
 secretary of the interior to procure the approval of congress before he can expend any money after July l, 1909, for irrigation. work for storage, diversion, or development of water supply for reclamation of arid lands.

Big Real Estate Deal.

A deal involving considerable prop erty was cOnsumated last week whereby Jack and Joe McAlister be- come the owners of the Kemp rarch, horses and cattle and in exchange Ms. s. L. Kemp of fSteeplerock, takes over the Duncan Hotel property, the McAlIster x Olney saloon property, and Jack McAlister's residence. The Kemp ranch is situated on Blue Creek, and although we did not learn the exact number of cattle involved in the trade, there is supposed to be a good many. The new owners of the above named property will take charge at once, the McAlisters moy- ing out to the ranch and Mrs. Kemp moving into Jack McAlisi CTS house in town.-AriZonau

Popular Globe Man Short in Accounts.

Walter Dayton, who recently re signed the presidency of the Gila County Abstract company, was ar rested on a warrant sworn to by F. F, Towle, the secretary for the company, charging embezzlement of $lTO0 Oi the funds of the concern.
 The news. which spread rapidly through the business district, was re- ceived in every quarter with expres- sions of deep regret, for Mr.. Dayton was one of the most popular and gen erally esteemed young men in the city, and the conviction was freely expressed that he would have no trouble in clearing up his affairs of what was considered but momentary embarrassment.
 The defendant was set at liberty an hour or so after his arrest, his bond having been fixed by Justice Hiuson Thomas at 5000, which was promptly furnished by P. c. Ander- son, George H. Smalley, Forest C.. Kaldenberg and George Brown.
 When seen at the sheriff's office, where he was detained pending the fixing of the bond, Dayton declined to make any statement further than that he expected to quickly straight en out his affairs.
 MT. Dayton confessed the shortage to me-" said Secretary Towle to the Silver Belt at the office of the com- prny. Nobody regrets the business more than I do. but there was no way out of it. I was preparing toclose up the years books and was not yet cer- tain that anything was wrong, when MT. Dayton walked up and told me that he was short. He does not know what he did with the money.".
 "Will the prosecution be dropped if the company is reimbursed?" MT. Towle was asked.
 "Oh, no," he replied. "That would be impossible under the law The matter is now in the hands of the dis trict attorney" and he added, "I wish it could be stopped, but it cam not, and there will also be civil sum instituted"

THE LEGISLATURE.
Some Of The Business That is Being
 Transacted,

| Both houses have agreed to holC | lnly afternoon sessions until press of business requires morning sessions.
 In making an appropriation for the expenses for various committees, tight in number, 5000 will not be quite ufficient, and as a result members of the committee will have to be more economical than heretofore.
 House bill No. ', making Lincoln's birthday, February P, a legal holiday, went through both houses. Though Lincoln's birthday lis holiday for this year only, the suggestion was made that a succeeding legislature would probably make it perpetual holiday.
 It is understood that at least thirty four primary law bills will be intro duced during the present session of the legislature; which number ought to result in one good law.
 Morris of Yavapai introduced d bill providing the establishment of a home for aged Arizona pioneers. It is to be located near Prescott and beneficiaries shall be sixty years of age and shall have resided in the ter ritory twenty-five years. A levy of 10 cents on SlOO valuation will establish it and 3 cents on slOO will maintain it. MT. Morris also introduced d bill amending the probate laws so as to facilitate the transaction of business.
 Morris of Yavapai introduced bill Residents of the territory shall pay Sl; Americans residing outside of the territory shall pay SlO; and aliens shall pay S25.
 Morris introduced a bill which authorizes supervisors of frst-class counties to appoint superintendents of county hospitals at a salary of $l25 per month and to pay other help not more than S75. He also introduced d bill making the salary of county road superintendcnts S7 per day for time actually employed.
 Hall introduced bill making the owner of mining property d defendant in actions for the establishment of liens.
 Desousa---A bill amending the pro- cedure of the grand jury rooms so that stenographers may be admitted.
 President Hunt offered bill amend ing the present law with reference to bonds, providing that litigants may offer cash bonds. In case after the enactment of the law litigant desires to do so he may substitute cash for d bond already filed and the bond shall be exonerated. Ia case of judgment against him the cash bond may go to the satisfying of the judg- ment. Another bill by the president prohibits all bucket shop transactions.
 There has been some misa pprehen- sion regarding a bill brought in by MT. Weedin extending the operation of the eight hour law above the low CT workings. It is not intended that all surface men shall become beneficiaries of it but only hoisting engineers and furnace men. It was explained that the bill will not affect any of the large mines of the territory which already have adopted three shifts for hoisting engineers and furnace men, though some of the smaller mines still employ ten or twelve hour shifts.

WONDER TAPS
BIG BODY OF MILLING ORE

Announcement is made that the Keane
Wonder property has opened up some
thing more than forty feet of high grade
milling ore, and that the hanging wall
has not yet been reached. This intelli-
gence was conveyed to the local office
of the company a few days ago. News of
later developments is expected at any
time, says the Bullfrog Miner
The Keane Wonder mas been operating
formerly on a flatlaying formation. by
means of tunnels and extensive quarry
ing plans. shaft was started some
time ago at a lower point and has from
of the mother lode FOR all that territory.
As reported in the Miner last week, this
shaft has approached the 150-foot mark.
The first lateral work was commenced on
the 100-fOOt level some days ago. The
shaft Is all in ore. Last Wednesday,
week go. bins were installed on this lat
ter level and mining for the mill started.
II Is in this work that the sensational
developments are noted.
The crOsscut from the shaft which is
on the fOOtwall side of the vein, had at
last report progressed forty feet and
showed ore worth in the neighborhood of
50 to the ton all of The way. This grade
Of ore is better than the prevailing values
shown IN the earlier workings. The only
other noticeable change in it is in the
more conspicuous presence of sulphides
There is also a trace of baser metal in
the ore
Mr.. Wilson was in Rhyolite at the time
OF the unexpected developments. He hur-
ried to the property. Since his departure
a gentlemen, whose rame is not men
toned, gave us flrst-hand information on
the matter. He states that the reports
sent out are very cOnsC Tvative, that the
vein shown in the shaft is a wonderful
body of ore He further states that there
Is a good deal of the rock that will re-
turn over $50 to the ton
No decisive change il the plan Of de-
velopment is anticipated by the manage
ment, The older workings are still strong
contributors to the mill 1t is proposed
TO run the plant up to the utmost pound
or efficiency, with ore coming from all
parts of the estate. The shaft will he
pushed TO the 415-foOt level as soon as
possible, in order to connect with the
tram station at that level and save hoist

COPPER MINES
IN THE LA SAILS
Manager of Boston & Utah
Says Big Property Is Being
Opened Up.

According to George II. Heath. manager
of the Boston & Utah company's mining
properties in the La Sal mountains, ten
miles from the Colorado line, a fine show
ing of cOpper-silver ore has been opened
up in the several lodges tapped by short
tunnel workings and the real work of max
ing mine is now being prosecuted in
deep tunnel d tunnel which. in being
driven 5000 feet, will open a dozen lodges
at a depth of 100 to 1,500 feet
Mr.. Heath, who has been in the city
for a day or two making the acquaintance
of a new daughter at his home, left for
camp again last night. Next Tuesday
John II. McChrystal is going down to
make an examination of the property on
his own account and in the interests OF
eastern clients as well, and judging from
the remarks dropped yesterday the prop
ositiOn is one that is going to make some
thing of a noise in the copper mining world
before long.
Manager Heath states that the real
possibilities of the La Sal country are
only just beginning to be appreciated and
he is confident that a great many mines
of true worth and capable Of making big
money will be developed down there dur
