 The things the prospector overlooked would not fill very large sized space in fact, the men who are backing him came to quick conclusion that he intended starting boarding house.
 When it is considered that loo pounds of flour, seventyfive pounds of pota- toes, twenty-five pounds of corn meal, with few beans, slab of bacon, salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, baking powder and couple of bars of soap will keep the average prospectOr and the wolf of starvation at a respectable distance for an indefinite period, the grub stakers were not so far wrnog.

United States when arrested, some lit. tie time may be necessary to comply with the necessary formalities, incident to the securing of the required requisi- tion papers.
 Sheriff Thompson will go from here to Phoenix to take the first steps to ward Phillipson g extradition. It may be that he will be compelled to go to Washington, D. C., to secure some of the papers, although this long trip may be dispensed with by the telegraphic approval of the documents by the sec retary of state.
 After all arrangements have been made for bringing the prisoner back to Globe, it will probably require near ly three weeks for the sheriff to make the trip.
 Little apprehension is felt on the score that Phillipson may escape from the Canadian prison on technicality, as number of telegrams which have been received from the sheriff at Ed monton have failed to state any neces- sity for haste on the part of the local authorities.

Stories without number have been told regarding tenderfoot prospectors who embarked on wealth-see king ven ture equipped with case of strawber- ries, six bottles of pickles, box of toothpieks and three pounds of Sara toga chips, or at least 8 grub stake equally incongruous, but demand not merely request--was turned in yesterday by an old and hardened prospector, Pat o 'Hara, which puts all former grub stakes to flight in the regions of the tall and uncut.
 For two months prospect three miles north of town, the prospector in question desired some eighty different varieties of supplies. The outfit at a low figure would cost about $200. How it would have been transported to the mining claims is as yet an unsolved mystery.

TRAINS RUNNING ID MIAMI IN SIX
 WEEKS RoADBED COMPLETED TO POINT BEYOND OLD RACE TRACK
 IN THE FLATS
ROCK WORK NEARLY FINISHED
GANG TO LAY STEEL WILL AR RIVE IN SHORT TIME FOR
 FINISHING TOUCHES

From the progress which has been made within the past few weeks on the Miami extension of the Gila Val ley railroad, trains should be running into that camp within the next six weeks.
 With two big gangs of men at work constructing the roadbed, the work has been completed to point on the flat beyond the race track, near Holiday $ saloon.
 The work along this section is very light, as the track passes through an almost level strip of country. The re- maining portion of the dirt work will be easy and it will take but q short time to complete the roadbed into Miami.
 As the rock work a short distance below town, on which small gang of men has been employed ever since the road building started, has been vern nearly completed, it is expected that the track laying gang will be brought here within snort time to begin the work of laying the rails which will con meet Globe and Miami.
 While nothing of definite nature has been made public regarding the laying of q new line of tracks between the Gila Valley depot and point near the Old Dominion shelter, to give the road ample provision for handling both the smelter and Miami traffic, the securing of a number of pieces of prop erty along what is supposed to be the location of the proposed line, makes it apparent that work on this improve ment will be commenced as soon as the necessary right of way has been se' cured.
 Several pieces of property have al ready been turned over to the railroad company and it is probable that there will be important developments regard ing this work within short time.

for which is President Tafts recent
message to Congress advising a ma

Whereas, the several states are

can properly be drawn from this
source; and
Whereas. the federal government
readily raises additional revenue when
required from other sources; there
fore, be it

Governor shafroth's Message.

In message to the Legislature of
Colorado Governor Shafroth urges the
Democratic members either to redeem
their pledges to the people contained
in the platform on which they were
elected or else to resign their seats.
The message follows:
March %, 1909.
ITO the Members of the Seventeenth
General Assembly:
"Gentlemen-The Democratic party
for the first time in the history of
Colorado has been placed in power in
all of the branches of the state gov
ernment. We as its representatives
have been placed there under certain
pledges contained in our platform. The
principles contained in these pledges
in the party's judgment as ratified by
the people, are essential to good gov
ernment. If we fail to perform the Iu-
ties intrusted to us by the people in
an honest, direct, inevasive manner,
our party may never again attain
such an advantageous position. Today
is truly the day of opportunity.
Il stated in my inaugural message
to you, that the pledges constituted a
contract with the people and should
be faithfully performed. Seventy.siX
days of this session have been con-
sumed by those who are evading or
trying to defeat the bills containing
these platform pledges. The conflict
is whether party pledges are to be re-
garded as sacred or deceptive devices
to gain power. To concede that pub
lie official may wilfully evade, or open
ly violate pledge upon which he Sc
cured an election, is to surrender the
vital principle of representative gov
ernment. have tried by arguing, coax
ing and begging to induce most of
these Iecalcitrant members to pass
these measures. For the passage and
presentation for my signature of even
one of them | have waited day after
day, until patience has ceased to be a
virtue.
"If any member. since the election,
has changed his mind as to these
measures and has conscientious scru-
pies against voting for the same. he
should resign his seat now If he will
not resign. then the party in each
county having such a member should
meet in mass assembly and demand
that he vote for these party measures
or resign.
"In the full two weeks remaining of
this session. you still have time TO en-
act into law these reforms. | wish to
warn you that if these party pledges,
these contracts of honor, are not sub
stantially complied with. l expect to
call an extra session of the General
Assembly and I shall expect the peo-
pie of this state to hold these oppos-
ing and evading members responsible
therefor. Respectfully submitted.
JOHN +. SHAFROTH,
Governor of Colorado"
