TUCSON IS AFTER TIE SLOT MACHINES

TUCSON, Oct. 25.-The slot ma chimes must go-that is, if there are any slot machines in operation in the city.
 This was the ultimatum handed out by the sheriffs office this morn ing.
 Tt has been reported to us" said Undersheriff Hopeley, that certain cigar dealers are operating slot ma chimes in their places of business. don't know how true this is, for we haven't yet had time to investigate; but if the report be true the operat, ors of such machines will be arrested at once and brought to trial.
 The operation of these machines, ' continued Mir. Hopeley, 'is in strict violation of the law, and 1t is the purpose of the sheriff's office to en force the law"
 The city ordinance relative to slot machines is very stringent one, but despite this fact it is reported that machines are being operated in cer tain places of business, although a a search of the uptown district today failed to reveal any of them.
 The sheriffs department announc es that an active crusade against them will begin at once.

FOUR [ ROAD IS SURVEYING
 EAST
Especial to Review.)

DOUGLAS, Oct. 25.-It was learned here today that c. s. fleming, in charge of the railroad enterprise of the Cananea Consolidated Copper company, had started a surveying party, in charge of Engineer Jones, on a re-survey of the line proposed by that company east from Agua Prieta on the Mexico side of the line. Mir Jones was in charge of the survey of that portion of the line which goes west from Aqua Prieta to Del Rio, a station on the Naco- Cananea line. which has been entirely completed ready for tho contractor.
 Dr. Ricketts, of Cananea. was in Douglas yesterday, coming in an tuto from Caranea From here he went south into Sonora, presumably on some mining business.
 No information can be secured either from Dr. Ricketts or MT. Hem ing, as to intentions regarding the starting of construction work on the proposed railroad enterprise.
 The Cananea Consolidated Copper company was granted new conces- sion last summer for a railroad which would extend from Imuris on the Southern Pacific, via Del Rio, Aqua Prieta and Guzman to point east of there on the Mexico Central.

Fine Warren Strikes

Colonel Powell talked of mining af fairs in the Warren district and ex pressed himself as immensely pleased with recent developments.
 Never in the history of the dis trict," said Colonel Powell" have there, been more pleasing develop ments than those which have been coming thick and fast in the pas fe wweeks. This is especially so in the Oliver and the Junction shafts, but is also true in other shafts of the c. & A. and the s. & P. com panies, and I am informed and be lieve is true as to Copper Queen and other properties as well. It has been demonstrated that the ore bodies go to great depth and that depth greater than had been thought by some. How deep they will run is still undeter- mined but the exploration for depth being conducted has been highly sat isfactory"
 Colonel Powell was asked as t. the rumor which started from Los Angeles that the c. G A. interests had purchased the ShattucI property As to this he said that there was n, trath in the story, that he eonsidcrs5 the Shattuck property 9 good one and one with a great future. but tas his company had not taken it eve and the rumor to that effect was en tirely without foundation

GLOBE PREPARING ID
 WELCOME W. ]. BRYAN

GLoBT, Oct 25.-Active prepara- ,tions for the visit of William Jen- nings Bryan to this city were made last night, at meeting of the demo- cratic county central committee, held at the office of Judge Hinson Thomas.
 The meeting was largely attended and much enthusiasm was manifest. Plans were formulated for securing MT. Bryan's attendance here some time betweee Christmas and New Years and preliminary arrangements were made for his lecture.
 The formulation of definite ar engagements. as to the exact date of Mir. Bryan's visit and his reception, were left to the following committee of twenty-five:
 Pat Rose. chairman; c. L. Rawlins, Leroy Middleton, A. T. Hammons, T. P Howard, S. F. SulIenberger,- J. F. Hechtman, J. M. McCollum, J. w. Swearingen, Floyd Blevins, P. c. Rob ertson, L. H. Brown, G. W. P. Hunt, G. W. Shute, Al Kinney, B. J. Barron, c. W. Van Dike, Hinson Thomas, J. H. Thompson, R. M. Anderson, Boy Pinyan, E. l.. Williams, E. F. Eisen- hous, J. Weinberger. J. w. Murphy.
 MT. Bryan's visit is a certainty, as he gave the Globe delegation which visited him at Phoenix every assur. ance that he would come to this city some time between Christmas and New Years, stating that the ex. act date did not matter to him.
 He will visit his son, w. J. Bryan Jr.. at Tucson, and make the Globe trip from that point.
 His lecture here will be under the auspices of the different churches oi this city. ...
 While last nights meeting was called for the specific purpose oi making arrangements for MT. Bryan's visit, it will probably result in the speedy organization of Globe demo cratic club.
 This matter has been tacitly left tC the committee of twenty-five and it i. probable that within the next few weeks, the party will be we'll organ Iized.

ID DECIDE RELY
 CASE ON TRANSCRIPT

l TUCSON, Oct. 25.-After fighting to a finish the procisions of the will of the late James B. Reilly, Tomb stone jurist, the trial of which result ed in hung jury" Attorney General John B. Wright returned to this city yesterday morning. The contest was conducted before Probate Judge Mar sellar, of Santa Cruz county and af- ter ample deliberation. the jury re- ported that it was unable to agree.
 Despite some of the sensational al legations of the case. the testimony was delivered in a most matter of fact way and no time was lost in bringing it to the point of argument The better part of two days was talk en up by the hearing. In the com plaint, the widow alleged that the jurist's mind had been influenced by a religious sect in Los Angeles just before death to the extent that she was neglected in the will. Martin Costello, the Tombstone capitalist, was one of the defendants in the suit and was present at the trial.
 Mir Wright represented the widow while Attorney Cunningham of Gun ningham & Riggs and Lee o. Wool cry acted as counsel for the other side. Mrs. Burgess, of this city re ported the trial and will prepare transcript, cn which the court will render a decision in the near future.

TUCSON INTERESTED
 !. IN ARTISAN WATER
BUSINESS MEN GET TOGETHER
 AND PROPOSE MEETING TO DISCUSS PROBLEM.

TUCSON, Oct. 21.-A meeting is to be called at the Chamber of Com merce at some near future date for the purpose of interesting Tucson business men in the matter of boring for artesian water, which has been in the minds of few of the progress i've citizens of Tucson and commun- ity for some time past and of which the Star printed an article about three weeks ago. At that time the Star outlined to some extent the plans of the men who are agitating the proposition. Interest has been steadily increasing in the matter and now, it is announced, a meeting of the business men and all others in terested, will soon be called at the Chamber of Commerce for the pur- pose of discussing feasible ways in which to go about the accumulation of sufficient capital to make the test.
 It is the unshaken conviction of number of business men of this city men who, by their long years of experience in this locality and con stant study of conditions, particular, ly with reference to agriculture that there exists an inexhaustible ar tesian flow in this valley. They base their judgment upon the fact that artesian water has been developed in certain sections of this territory where the conditions were not near ly so adaptable as those prevailing here It is known that an immense quantity of water flows from the sur rounding mountains into this valley ard seeps into the ground and 1t is figured that this water flows with such force as to bring it to the sur face if wells are bored deep enough to come in contact with it.
 A prominent engineering firm of San Francisco has offered to allow the use of a suitable drilling outfit for this work free of charge and by virtue of this offer, the expense will be confined to the transportation of the machinery from Patagonia, where it now is, to Tucson and the actual cost of labor It is believed that S2, 2,000 will cover 1t and there should be little difficulty encountered in ac. cumulating this amount. The ma chinery referred to has not been talk en away from Patagonia because it's owners are confident that this partic' ular section of Arizona will soon be the scene of activity in boring for ar tesian water. It is not believed ii vii! be necessary to go down more than 1000 feet to strike the sought for self-raising water. The San Fran cisco engineers, who have taken such an interest in the matter, state that in their opinion a well 1000 feet deer can be drilled and a substantial cas ing placed for $2,00O or very little more
 i Should this test prove successful the question of irrigation in this sec tion of the territory will have beer solved. The date for the proposed meeting has not yet been named.
