stunning fall out OF Jack Gleason. Of
San Francisco. his reputed partner When
Gleason learned that Richard had prom

Sullivan. and had leased the Salt Air
Pavilion from the Mormons. he suddenly
realized that he might be a victim OF a
freeze-out game. SO he wired T. d.
Sullivan for information, and was in
formed that Richard had promised 20 put
up the purse inside Of two weeks AS a
result Gleason now says that the fight
must be held under his management, in
California. and that he will depend upon
Jeffries and Johnson TO stand by him.
There was rumor among sporting men
to-day. as q result OF the row between
Richard and Gleason. that 1t would not
be long before the tight was declared of
Strong for Gleason.
It was shown that Jeffries and Berger
were in league with Gleason many weeks
ago. and that they would not have ac-
cepted Richards bid if Gleason had not
been declared in with It. II was also
pointed out that Rickard had Johnson

PICKETT TALKS ABOUT COCH|SE
 MINE WEALTH
Tells Phoenix People That Tombstone Is the Particuar Gem of the County With Bright Future.


 PHOENIX, Jan. 1s.-Col. H. L. Pickett. the prominent Tombstone lawyer and Arizona booster, is here to attend the session of the supreme court. Pickett says that the minins interests of Cochise county were never more prosperous at any time in their history than at present.
 Many new mining districts of Co chise county are rapidly coming to the front he remarked. The Bis bee mines are producing more copper than at any time in their history. The other districts are making a great showing. for instance. Court land. which is only about two years old. has population of about 2O00 and some of the great copper com panies of the territory have invested heavily there and are developing some fine copper properties.
 Among the companies operating in Courtland are the Copper Queen and Calumet & Arizona. the Great West. ern snd Leadville. Courtland is sit uated twenty miles east from Tomb. stone and is on the line of the rail- road running from Cochise station on the Southern Pacific to Douglas on the Fl Paso &. Southwestern.
 Johnson, ten miles from Cochise station. is another coming copper camp of Cochise county It has al ready developed a number of pros ising properties and recently a copper smelter has been erected. which is in full commission and giving entire satisfaction. Johnson also has a branch railroad that connects with the main line of the Southern Pacific at Cochise.
 Tombstone is still the gem of Co., ehise county, and it's future Is very promising. indeed The Tombstone Consolidated Mines company now has the water completely under control. There can be no question but that in a short time it will again be the great producer of gold and silver of Ari- zona.1
 Pickett is one of the strongest ad- vocates in Arizona of the direct pri- mary law passed by the last legisla- ture. and believes that if properly en- forced it will mean much in the se- lection of the officers for the new state. Pickett believes that all can didates. from senator down to pre- cinet officers. should be selected through the direct primary.

GOVERNMENT PLANS MORE
 ARIZONA IRRIGATION WORK.

The irrigation investigation of the office or experiment statisAs of the United States department of agricul- ture is preparing to extend and en- large it's work in Arizona. as has been done in the other western states and territories Permanent agents have been assigned to the territory. and headquarters established in the Elem. ing building in Phoenix. The chief of the irrigation investigations is Dr. sam uel Tester of Washington. D. C.. man who has had a long and varied and asricuitltrist. The work in Ari- zona has been placed in charge of C.. E. Tait. who has previously repre- sented the department for number Of years in Southern California and several of the Rocky Mountain states.
 Broadly speaking. the purpose of the irrigation investigations is to sap- ply the needs of farmers and irriga- tors for information on aii matters pertaining to irrigation. and to aid agricultural development by iisiga- tion. The work as authorized by con sress is educational in it's nature and involves the study and investigation of all subjects relating to the use of wate- in irrigation and the collection Of data to be disseminated by the off, oiai bulletins of the United States de- partnlent Of agriculture
 
 gation. most. if not all of which may be summed up in the broad term use of water in irrigation may be men. | toned the public control of water: 1 the administration of irrigation com panies and the management of ca. nals: the distribution. delivery and measurement of water to irrigators: the preparation Of land to be irri-l gater: the methods of applying wales 10 crops with a view to the retention | of moisture ir the soil and economy in using water; the prevention of waste in irrigation and of losses by seepage and evaporation; the utiliza- tion of small water supplies. the cost and methods of pumping for irriga-
 2 tion. etc
 A valuable feature of the work of the department on these subjects is the broad field covered and the abil ity to gather and make available in formation from all parts of the coun- try. The unity brought about by com bining the results of investigations in different states has done much in spreading the good practice of on. section to that of another. At the, same time the department is enabled to intelligently conduct such special studies as are called for by the De- culiar local requirements of each state or section.
 The reports of the irrigation iuves- ugations that have apeared from time to time during the past dozen | years cover a wide range of subjects. but among the later reports and those that are to appear in the near future. ! there are two main series. One of these comprises reports on the gen eral condition of development by |, rlgation in a number of the states They are prepared by special arrange ment with the state engineer or other official, and in a few cases by an agent of the department Of agricul.

COMPANY INDIGNANT
 OVER FALSE STORY
ssseEE PAPER HAS AMERICANS STRANDED BECAUSE OF
 AN OPEN NIGHT
Douglas International)

The members of the American Mus
 cal Comedy company passed through Douglas this morning on their way to Clifton, Morenci and Globe. where they have bookings for a month or more. The only member of the com pany known here who was missing was Miss Devona May. who has just become a bride and has left the stage.
 All the members of the troupe this morning expressed desire to get back to Douglas once more and stat ed that they looked forward to their return from the north with pleasur- able anticipation. An article which was published in the Bisbee evening paper was cause of much indignation to all of the thespians. That paper had announced that the company was stranded in Bisbee and told a tale of unpaid salaries and lack of railroad fares. The truth of the matter was that the company had an open night This night had to be passed either in or in Clifton and as "The Great Divide" was billed for Bisbee last night and the American company members wanted to see 1t they re- mained over in Bisbee instead of go- ing on through to Clifton as was or iginaliy z ended.
