Plan Under Way To Reclaim Large Arid
 Tract
It is Proposed to Sink ToIa Great
 Depth

Practical effort is to be made in a short time toward prospecting the arid lands around Besrdsley, in Mar ieopa county, for an available water supply, for the purpose of reclaim ing about 5000 acres of desert land taken up a few months ago by sew eral residents of Prescott and Phoe- nix, numbering in the aggregate about forty claimants of the two cities.
 To this end the Arizona Mine Sup ply company has started the manu- faeture of a deep well equipment, which they anticipate will be placed on the ground in a few weeks to make the edterminations. Two plants are under construction, and the diam eter of the holes to be bored will be eight inches.
 Several sites will be drilled, and if an abundant flow is given, the sub stituting of a twelve inch bore win be given. It is the purpose to send from this city with the machines a large number of skilled men to set the equipment up in a general ex- ploitation of the vast acreage.
 The land is said to be very fertile, an diff water can reach the surface it will be one of the greatest pro- dueing areas in the Southwest. Those interested in this city are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the note- worthy experiments that are to take place.

A week filled up with selfshness and a Sabbath stuffed full of religious exercises will make a good Pharisee but a poor Christian. There are many persons who think Sunday is a sponge with which to wipe out the sins of the week.

Believed Gang of Outlaws Is
 Preying on Soldiers at Y. Fort Townsend

PORT TOWNSEND, February 25.-. The murder of Private Robert Dunn last week and the finding of the body of an unidentified man near Fort Worden yes terday, coupled with the disappearance of a number of soldiers during the last year, has led the officers of the post to believe that a gang of murderers has established a rendezvous near the fort and detachments of artillerymen were sent out today to attempt to trap the outlaws. Until late hour tonight the deepest recesses of the woods were secured, but no clue was found
 The first intimatiOn that wholesale murders had been committed at the fort was the finding of the body of Dunn last week. The body was found at the base of precipitous bluff and gave indication that the man met death by violence. He had been robbed of everything of value. A soldier believed to be connected with the death of Dunn was arrested and held pending an investigation.

Following the publication of state ment alleged to have been made today by John Murphy, president of the Cen tral Labor union, warrant was issued and he was arrested on the charge of melting riot It is said that Murphy declared: "A general strike should be called immediately. It is inevitable. There are men in the northeast who can shoot as straight as any trooper that ever drew breath. /"
 Murphy's alleged remarks followed the announcement of the directors Of the Rapid Transit company, that the clergymen s request for arbitration had been declined.
 Riots in west and southern Phila- delphia followed the running of ears to- night. Three cars were wrecked A crowd of men and boys escaped squad of fifty policemen.

DUN'S REVIEW

NEW YORK, February 25.-Dun will say tomorrow: Business conditions vary so widely in one section from another and in one trade from another that generalization broad enough for the situation on the whole is difficult.
 Yet, making due allowance for the effect of severe weather in certain parts of the country and for the in fuence upon financial confidence or pos litical uncertainties, and for the conse- quences of speculative reaction, it ap- pears that the volume of trade con tinues large and the outlook for spring is better than it was two weeks ago.

NEW YORK, February 25.-Brad- street $ tomorrow will say: Trade re- ports are rather more irregular. Stormy, cold weather over wide areas has ap- parentlv retarded the expansion of spring trade, but nevertheless distribu, tion is kept up well in advance of last
 years, in fact, and distinct gains in volume of trade are reported at many points. Conservatism in placing orders is still the keynote in the wholesale trade in several lines. Unsatisfactory margins of profit is the cause assigned for the announcement that the print cloth mills at Fall River will reduce their running time one day per week.

very big yellow hawk swoop down
on one Of the traps.

and while it was struggling to free it
self from the trap, the slender wire
chain was torn from the fastening

STITCHING A HEART

A remarkable surgical operation is
reported from Philadelphia, where at
the Pennsylvania hospital man
named Joseph Spence was admitted
suffering from a bad knife stab re-
ceived in a quarrel. 1t was found that
his heart had been gashed, and Dr..
Francis Stewart, the house surgeon,
decided to attempt the delicate opera
ton of stitching up the injured organ.
This he accomplished successfully,
putting five stitches in the mans
heart, and afterwards sewing up the
wound in his side.
DR.. Stewart was compelled practic-
ally to hold the mans heart in his
hand while inserting the stitches,
which to make the operation more
delicate than ever, had to be inserted
between the heart beats. Spence was
then returned to the ward, and his re-
covery appears quite probable.
