fess and the building came to be called
the city hall ruins" The name clung
to it, and when i'm 1880 work stopped
altogether for time with only a por-
tion of the vast foundations covered it
became reprOach.
For another nine years after 1880
the work dragged on more slowly than
before. and when the third enabling
act came up before the legislature
there was a terrific struggle. The
ninth and tenth districts had lined up
for a battle compared with which the
former three engagements were but
skirmishes. 1t was fought from leg
islature to legislature and between
sessions, but the city hall managed to
gain another enabling act to keep the
work from stopping altogether.
While the political battle was rag
ing SJ72.999 was secured. and with this
was built the entire Larkin street
wing and the southeasterly wing ad-
joining the dome. completing the
structure on City Hall avenue except
for the dome.
The fourth enabling act was secured
AT this time and in the years 90. 81
and 80 the wing extending to Meal
lister and HYDE was finally completed.
During the same time all the depart
meuts were moved into the building
y
for the first time the city government
was concentrated i'm the city hall.
When the last city hall commission
went into office in 1898 there was still
great deal of work 10 be done and
no money to do it with. so they We're
compelled to so before the legislature
to secure fifth assessment. BY this
time the old opposition had died out
and new one had sprung up. The
whole city was opposed to further
taxation for the city hall and IL was
only obtained on the personal assur
ance of Commissioners James ID. Pie
Ian and William Broderick that this
tax would be the last. And it was.
They kept their word, although at the
very end they did not collect their
salaries for nine months for fear their
funds would run short.
The last series of assessments
brought in 100000 and with this the
permanent roof was built and the
dome erected. The roof in itself was
a problem. The original plans for the
permanent roof called for the pre-
vailing dofmer roof. with slate finish.
but it was found that this would cost
$3.50 900. Any substitute OF per-
manent character. il was found. would
also be expensive. Finally it was left
to the architect of the dome. Frank T.
Shea, to devise cheaper roofing
which would be durable. He proposed

finally adopted. the three acres of roof

thing 20 do. SO a plan was formulated
by the members Of the eleventh,
twelfth and thirteenth districts and
taken TO Sacramento, and there the
first great battle was fought.
Those who favored the building of a
city hall were good at lobbying and
had persuasive tongues They spoke
fair. and what they said was not only
feasible but plausible. 1t was shown
that the old cemetery could be divided
as it is at present, City Hall avenue
cutting off plot to be kept by the
city and permitting the lots that lay
along Market street to be sold for bus
mess purposes. 1t was shown that by
making the lots sufficiently small they
could be sold off at prices ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000. BY this means
SIl0o,0o0 could be raised, and with
that the city hall was to be built.
The ninth and tenth districts fought
the scheme bitterly. They ridiculed
the idea, said that the cemetery was so
far out of town that Sunady school pic

most mark of travel. Nevertheless. the
act was passed enabling the city of
San Francisco to bond itself to the ex-
tent Of s1,100,000, the bonds to be paid
off by the sale of the lots, which was
subsequently done. The enabling act
was passed April 4, 1870. and in the
latter part of the same year the plans
of the proposed structure were adopted.
The architect. Augustus Lever, made
his plans according to the money at his
disposal and designed a building similar
to the one eventually constructed, but
made of wood instead of brick. 1t was
intended to have a dome 800 feet high
similar to the one which is now being
torn down, and this, too. was to have
been of wood.
There had been no great confagra-
tions for many years in this country at
that time and fire had no terrors for
these intrepid builders. But in 1871
occurred the great fire of Chicago and
in 1872 another great fire in Boston

fight with an added argument. They
said it was clear that the city hall
would never be completed and they
came nearer the truth than they real
iZed. They made the aims of the friends
of the city hall doubly hard to obtain in
the legislature, and when permission
was asked to levy tax on the city of
10 or 10 cents on the 800 of valuation
the roar that went UP blocked proceed
ngs for days. But the city hall won
out at last and the tax was permitted
With this additional money the hall
of records was completed as it stands
today, and the walls of the main por-
ton of the building extending west,
ward from the hall OF records through
the center of the block were erected
20 a height of 80 feAt above the base
ment floor level. This took the whole
of the years 1874 and 1875 At that
time none Of that portion extending
along Larkin street was built and the
wing which extended TO McAIIister
street at the intersection of Hyde was
only basement high. AT the end of
1915. Sl,ll4.7S5 had been spent and only

second appeal was made to the
legislature in 1876 and the same op-
position WAS encountered There was
something 70 show for the money this
time, however, and after another bitter
struggle the city hall won out and the
second enabling act was passed.
This provided. the first act did
for "A tax on the city during several
years, by which several hundred thou
sand dollars annually were secured
With this money. by the end of 1875
the McAllister street front the main
body of the building, was completed
The work done included the placing
of two iron towers which nanked the
great doorway which stood back from
the street in what was later the inside
of the courtyard formed by the two
McAllister street wings which abutted
on the street.
Elevators were also installed and the
whole building turned over for the
occupancy of the mayor, assessor,
treasurer, tax collector and four su-
perior courts.
This main portion of the building
extended to within only $50 feet of
Larkin street.
During 1879 the main body of the
building was extended to McAllister
street and the city prison was installed
in the basement. The cost of the hall
since 1876 had been S1.37S,00 1t had
taken nine years to build this far, and

meanwhile time would elapse before
legislative action could be secured. and
there was that $1,100 900 waiting to be
spent So the architect proceeded on
his new plans. On March IS, 1871, ex-
eavations were begun preparatory to
the erection Of the great monolithic col
umns supporting the structure when
completed. The broad foundations were
laid after overcoming unexpected diff
cuities with seepage in the excavations.
and on February %, 1872, the corner
stone was laid. BY this time the orig

the legislature was finally appealed to-

The city felt its own future and de-

twelfth was the Yerba Buena GENE

The twelfth district spoke up in the
midst of the agitation and suggested
that Yerba Buena cemetery was out Of

much better used for city hall. 1t
was suggested that portion could he

WANT TO BEGIN WORK.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Territorial road matters are wax
 ing warm in official eenters of the
 Capital City, and the desire of the
 board of control is to hasten the movement of the creation of the high.
 ways north and south and east and west on the lines authorized by the
 last legislature. County Treasurer
 Herndon has received request from Auditor Foster, in which this official board of control to at once begin the active preliminary work in the con struction of territorial highways throughout Arizona, as authorized by the twenty-fifth legislature. The board has already instructed the ter ritOrial engineer to enter the field for the purpose of making a general reconnaissance of the proposed routes to follow up with surveys, the mak- ing of maps, plats and estimates of the cost of construction. This pre- liminary should be completed by the first of January in order to prevent delay in the construction of roads dur ing the coming year.
 The territory is at present without the necessary funds to meet the ex- penses of this work, under the old rule of the county treasurers remitting tax collections quarterly. The board of control therefore respectfully re- quests that remittanees for territorial taxes be made monthly in order that the payment of claims may be made | as fast as they accrue.

BOY FINDS WEALTH IN WATER WHILE
 PROSPECTING

WINCHESTER, Sept. 1.-The be ginning of cooler weather marks a re- newed impetus in the mining field on all sides near Winchester.
 The latest surprise to the camp is the big strike made three days ago by young Henry Winchester, a school boy of Phoenix, on the Gold Eagle, a prop9;ty bonded by his father, Josiah Winchester, formerly of Grip pie Creek. Col. Solomon's saying that the young are ever quickest to learn is thus Iroven. During the school vacation this young man has studied under his sister, an expert geologist, taking course of assaying and mineralo " with the resident chemist and mining engineer, has worked a full shift with pick and drill, and has just naturally imbibed prospecting from the old Hassayampers who live along this old desert guleh, where go.u eOlors are strewn like star dust.
 Young Henry soon struck out for himself. Although too young to hold a claim for himself, he secured leases first on the Dog Fight, then on the Single Bird, only to give them up after a trial. Following one of the recent heavy rains he was again hard upon his customary search, when in prospecting a water course up the side of a steep eaetus-eovered bar ranca, he knocked off a small out crop and was rewarded by a rich painful of gold colors. Assays taken since at this point give $40 per ton in gold. Tracing the ledge along the surface for eighty feet it was found to be four feet or more in width. Henry then secured what is now call ed the potato lease. from his father, and with his brothers set to work at actual mining. The ledge makes are fast. Two tons are already on the dump, and an average sample of these assayed four ounces gold per ton, besides pay value in copper and silver. The ore is a cavernous white quartz, carrying copper sulphides, as soeiated with heavy hermatic and atacmite. A carload shipment is the first object, but the boy is also con strueting an arastra and will have a 1O-hOre power engine to furnish mo- tive power.

 It was not long before he had en- tered into negotiations with M. J. Hickey for the fruit and the nego- tiations were speedily and successfully concluded when MT. Hammond said he wished to present the apple to Presi- dent Taft to show the chief exeeu- tive what Arizona can produce.
 "Give it to the president with the compliments of Yavapai county,' said MT. Hickey.
 And consequently among the numer- Ous trunks and pieces of baggage that MT. Hammond carried with him there was carefully slowed away in a small valise the largest apple that Yava- pal county has ever produced, and what is claimed to be the biggest ap- pie ever grown. On the grip in large letters was painted the sign, 'Handle With Care"
 The apple was grown on the ranch near Granite Dells, owned by John Duke and John Bianconi.
