MOnfierfh Horse
Not Afflicted

Several weeks ago an article ap-
peared in George Crosby's Paper,
stating that the Montierth black
Percheron horse was afflicted with
syphilis. The overs of the horse
believing an injustice had been
done by the publication of such
article, secured the service of a
competent veterinary surgeon, who
took up the case and made a
thorough diagnosis. The result of
the diagnosis showed that the horse
was affected with inflammation of
the pharynx. This in no way can
be associated with any syphilitic
disease, and is neither contagious or
infectious.
AS an evidence that the horse
was not afflicted by syphilis, the
following affidavit was sworn to by
A. j. Douthitt, veterinary surgeon.
Territory of Arizona, &C
County of Graham, ''
This is to certify that | have
thoroughly examined the black
Percheron horse, "Broodis," known
as the Montierth horse, and found
no symptoms of syphilis or other
genital disease.

VIII Keep Copper
Out of the River

Great activity is reported at Capt.
Bill Spaw's camp at the damsites,
where for three years he has been
impounding the tailings from the
Arizona Copper Company's big con-
centrator at Morenci.
The work done here is prodigious
and five different dams are being
built. the lower and largest one
over forty feet high and five hun
dredsfeet long. Millions of tons are
here spread out over an area of
twenty acres, and so safeguarded
that none of it gets to the river to
impregnate the waters of the Gila
with crop destroying ingredients.
The work at the dams is constant
and six men are at work all the time
under Civil Engineer Lem Spaw.

TREASURY OUTLOOK GOOD.
Assistant Treasurer Authorizes state
 ment Giving Figures.

Washington, D. C., March 16.-De- claring the Treasury outlook Is better than 1t has been before in months, As distant Secretary of the Treasury Cool idge today authorized a statement gtv- ing figures to show marked improve ment. so far as government receipts are concerned. The statement, in part. follows:
 "There is no foundation for the widely circulated report that the pay ment of over S50,000,000 of claims against the government, now due, has been postponed by the Treasury for want of ready cash.
 "On the contrary. the Department Is abreast of demands on it, in honoring acquisitions and no necessary pay ments are postponed for future action.
 "So far from the Treasury being in a desperate way. the outlook Is better today than 1t has been before in months. The revenue for the first fif- teen days of March have been $26.430.- 756 as against $20,7S5.256 for the cor responding period a year ago. an i'm provement over 27 per cent, while the excess of expenditure over receipts for the same period has been $1.50s.243 as against s4.374,743. an improvement of the first fifteen days of March were greater than for any corresponding period in the past i've years.
 ''The excess of expenditures over re- cefpts for the fiscal year to late is $S7,S71,223. which is slightly in excess of the estimate of Secretary Cortelyou at the beginning of the last session of Congress.
 i'The new administration comes into office with the general fund of tho Treasury in as good condition as t was at the beginning of the adminis- tration which has just come to an end"
 The available cash balance on March Is, was s135,0s7.sSS. On March l5. 1905. at the beginning of the last administration. the available cash bal anoe was a14l.49s.43s. and by Aug. 2s 1905. it had fallen to $123.794.710.

PROMINENT SOCIALIST
 VISITS MONTGOMERY

Robert W. Hunter, the prominent New York Socialist leader and author, spent yesterday in Montgomery, He is making a trip through the South in order to get . better idea of the conditions here. preparatory to writ ing on them.
 Outside of. perhaps, Jack London and Upton Sinclair. there is no one among the radicals with more influence than he. His sociology study, Poverty" has done more to stir up sympathy for the poorer classes. 1t is generally ad- mitted. than any other American book ever written. He was hoad worker of the famous University Settlement in New York and while there married Caroline M. Stokes, daughter of Anson Phelps Stokes. the millionaire. Since then he has devoted his time to char itable organizations and the work of building up the National Socialist Par. ty. Recently his writings have been almost entirely for socialistic propa. ganda.
 He spent part of his time in Mont. gomery yesterday at the golf links at the Country Club and the remainder visiting places of historical interest. He came direct from Palm. Beach and left for TuskeEee to visit the institu- tion there this morning.
