BUILDING RESUMED ON
 wICKENBURo POWER PLANT
(From Wednesdays Dsiiy)

Construction of the electric power and lighting plant of the Central Ari- zona Power Company at Wickenburg recently stopped on account of some misunderstanding among the stock holders. will be resumed this morning. C. F.. Meisse arrived there eysterday from Chicago, accompanied by a new construction superintendent, and made arrangements for the immediate start ing of the work.
 President Meisee is quoted as saying that the company has ample finances to carry the work to completion and that operations will be rushed until the plant is ready to furnish power and light to the Octave Mining Com pany's mine, mill and camp as well as n number of other mines and camps m the Weaver and Martinez districts. Some uneasiness was manifested by the owners of mining properties m these districts when work was stopped on the construction of the power plant ten days ago. Many had made ar engagements for the purchase of cleo tric hoisting and pumping machinery for their mines to be delivered as soon as the power company was ready t'
 furnish the power.
 Negotiations for n number of min ing deals also came to standstili a'
 soon as il was reported that the con struetion of the plant had ceased. l All uneasiness vanished when Presi
 dent Meisee gave out recently tha
 the plant will be pushed to eomple
 ton as rapidly as possible and th'
 mine operators and those contempia' ing the purchase of properties are nov assured of power at much reduee' rate. enabling them to reap handsom , profits which were formerly imposslbi
 under the high fuel prices.
 , With the completion of the transmits s sion line to octave the line will b , extended to other camps. It VIII b l, finished to the camps of the prineipa 7 power purchasers by the time tn l plant is completed.
 President Meissee of the power con l. pany and the Octave Mining Compan { will remain in Wiekenburg sewers f days until the resumption of eonstru
 ton is well under way.

LAND PEEP|NG TOM WITHIN C|TY'S
 CALABOOSE Rubberneck Individual Draws 100 Days At
 Hard Labor
From Thursdays Daiiy)

"Peeping Tom." whose "rubber. neck" visits have annoyed the resi- dents of different parts of the city tho last two weeks. is now safely behiad he bars of the city jail. He was sr. rested Wednesday night by Ofhesr Frank iIeisler and sentenced to serve loo days at hard labor in tne city re- eorder's court Thursday evening at 6 o'clock, on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. It is probable that he will be charged with eitksr vangrancy or insanity when his tern of imprisonment expires. A .32 calibse double action pistol was found on Ais person when arrested. The weapon was loaded.
 When arraigBed in the recordsr's court he entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of carrying concealed weapons, although he admitted that the gun exhibited in court was bis and found in his pocket after his ar rest.
 On cross examination he admitted that he had called at several homes during the nights of the last two weeks but insisted that he was invit- cd there and that his arrest was "put up" job on the part of number of women who were jealous of his at- tentions to others and who called thsir dogs to chase him away when he re- turned his calls. His conversation and actions in court suggest that his mind is unbalanced.
 He gave his name as George Caisp- DO. He was arrested in Congress ssv- eral years ago on n charge of insanity. The charge was ignored at his hearing in the probate court.
 l. is alleged that his peeping antics in congress led to his arrest on tho in- sanity charge.
 He has resided here since discharged from custody on the insanity charge. He is a laborer. Recently ae has been employed by local undertaking ss- tablishment and occasionally digging graves.
 He will he remembered as the lane drummer of the Salvation Army at in tervals during the last three years. He often exhorted the "sinners" along Montezuma street in the summer eve ming to forsake their bad habits and seek grace with the fold.

ISLAND GROUP HAS

Some Estimates Place Loss of Life At

SURVIVORS OF BIG DISASTER ARE DYING FROM WANT or NECESSITIES or
 LIFE
By Associated. Prese.

ROME, Dec. 31.-A wireless message from the Strait of Messina reports that the Jipsrd island group of volcanic is- lands in the Mediterranean near the coast of Sicily have disappeared.
 The total population numbering 2s,- 900 must inevitably have pcrished. The minister of marine has rushed a torpedo boat to ascertain the facts.
 Shiploads of fugitives have been car. ried from the stricken zone to Naples, Palmero and other ports, and thirty. six vessels arc now centcred in the Straits of Mcssina and five thousand soldiers are being landed on the coasts.
 The most important thing is atten- ton to the survivors. Thousands who escaped death in other forms arc now starving without clothes and shelter. They cannot long survive without food being conveyed to tnem or they being transported to places where it can be supplied.
 Intermittent shocks continue.
 The British warship Minera reported two severe shocks had occurred at Messina last night.
 Horrors grow with eevry fresh dis patch. One estimate of the death roll is 3O0.OOO, though this appears extreme. The official estimate made by tae min. ister of marine holds it is ll5,000.
 Relief expeditions, making their way to Reggie, have encountered tremcn- dous Instructions along the route.
 Eighteen provincial villages in Gala bria besides those already mentioned have been ruined. What has become of the inhabitants is not known.
 Assistanct has reached but few vii lages whiea are practically without supplies of any kind.

 When day dawned the entire snore line had changed in appearance. All the magnificent houses are tottering rSins, from which issue jets of smoke and flame.
 Subscriptions were opened and head ed by the king with a donation of four hundred thousand dollars.
 The premier received telegram from Messina stating the city was en. tircly destroyed, flames completing the work of the earthquake.
 "The disaster exceeds widest imag. ination,' it asserted.
 The volcano Stromboli is active and the seas around the island arc agitat. cd and dangerous for navigation.
 Many survivors at Mstania, Sicily, who have temporarily lost their req son, glare at questioners and murmur incohcrently and ceaselessly, "Messi. na is destroyed.'
 IL is said Mcssina is still blazing despite torrential downpour of rain.
 News from the outlying districts in Caladeria say that B towns and viii lagcs have been wiped out, and the number of victims in that district alone is 3o,00O.
 The few survivors have fled to the mountains and are subsisting on roots and bark of trees.

ROME. Dee. 30.-The immensiiy of the disaster in southern Italy and Si' ely can be measured only by the fact that if is estimated 10000 persons perished in Mcssina and Reggie alone.
 A score of other towns are devast- ated. and thousands of victims m these places will be added 10 the roll.
 All Italy is appalled, with horror.
 shiploads of fugiitives have arrived at Naples and other ports and vast majority of these are sorely injured Other thousands remain near the ruins of their homes, to wander half starved and halfnaked over the land.
 The forces that Monday over whclmcd the cities also destroyed the means of sustenancc.
 Photographic communication has been established with Messna, apparatus having been set up in the railway sta ton. The messages which come over the wires, though meager in detail show all hope in gone.
 Nothing remains of the city but mass of ruins swept by fire. A mere handful of survivors is be ing cared for by the rescuing forces but the distress is great and has beer increased by a recent icy wind TOT lowed by deluge of rain.
 The destitution is appalling. Ther' is little food and less water.
 Of Messina's 90,00O population, ! is believed 10000 perished. Fort. thousand persons died at Reggie.
