How Municipal Electric Plant Will Increase Taxes and Mortgage the
City for Something il Does Not Need

carry out important public works, WHICH NO ONE EXCEPT THE CITY CAN PER FORM
 The present assessed valuation of all property in the city 0f Phoenix is $6,- 5S9172.
 The legal limit of indebtedness is f per cent of the assessed valuatiOn-Or $263,- o66 at the present time.
 The outstanding city indebtedness in MORTGAGE BONDS is $560,500 or near ly $300000 more than the f per cent limit ation This has been made possible by special congressional legislation enabling the issue of $300,000 waterwOrks bonds.
 In addition to this there are $175OOO bonds standing against the school district (which is virtually Phoenix)-a total of $735, ,500 bonded indebtedness, on which more than $37,000 interest is paid out an nually
 The last tax rate of Phoenix for city purposes was $1 on the $100 of assessed valuation. The county tax rate was $3 52, making total of $4.52 on the $100 of as sessed valuation, a rate that can hardly be considered low.
 The city rate for THIS YEAR, it is stated, will show a considerable increase over that of last year.
 The amount of monov raised ill Phoenix by taxation for city purposes last year was less than $60,000, of which about one fourth went to pay interest on CITY bonds, not including the waterworks bonds.
 WHAT ARE THE IMMEDIATE PROS -PECTS OF FURTHER MORTGAGE BOND ISSUES AND THE INCREASE OF TAXATION FROM THIS SOURCE?

Here are some of the things Phoenix needs and needs badly:
 system of sewers Paved streets More school houses City hospital hecreatlon h creation parks Public playgrounds Better fire protec- p", D " 1-''i0 'U"i
 tion Better police equip Proper cleaning of ment
 streets New city hall
 AHEAD of all these important and ur- gent needs, the men who are fighting the Pacific Gas & Electric Company tell us you need a municipal electric plant first, to COMPETE for business with a pro- gressive company fully equipped to serve the public well and economically.
 The municipal plant bond issue will be for $3OO,OOO, TO START WITH.
 March 3, the voters of Phoenix Union High School District will be called upon to vote $150,0O0 bonds for school building and equipment purposes.
 Shortly afterward an election will be called to vote bonds for a PART of the cost of SEWERS.
 If part of the sewer project is paid for through bonds and the remainder by direct taxation, the sewer bond issue probably will be for $250,000
 Paving of streets is something that Phoe nix will soon demand. A large proportion of the cost will be assessed DIRECTLY against the abutting property owners, but the CITY AT~LARGE WILL HAVE TO ISSUE BONDS FOR PAVING STREET INTERSECTIONS.
 It is likely that $200,0O0 will prove too small to carry the cost of intersections in

Persons who at middle age should feel the full strength and energy of youth are often rheumatic, nervous, irritable and inclined to worry too much. There are spells of utter weariness, life is made miserable by constant Iameness and dull backache and sleep is disturbed with pain and distressing urinary disorders.
 You have tried to shake this off and wonder why you can't. Proba' bly, you have missed the hidden cause sick kidneys Prompt treatment with Doan's Kidney Pills would right things quickly.
 An active life weakens the kid neys and something must be done to stimulate the little filters of the blood-to keep them working as they should.
 Every day of your life the blood gathers up a dangerous amount of uric poison. and if the kidneys do not pass it all off with the urine, there is bound to be serious trouble. Uric acid weights the blood, clogs the circulation, weakens the heart, dulis the brain, irritates the nerves and forms little jagged crystals in the muscles and joints that cause acute pain when these parts are moved. These pains you know as sciatica, rheumatism. lumbago. gout or neural gia, according to where they occur.
 Uric acid grains are seen as sedi-

 Don't allow the kidney trouble to get worse. Start using Doan's Kid ney Pills, which have cured thousands and must surely help you.
 Phoenix proof:
 Mrs. G. Hurst 501 w. Washington street. Phoenix, Ariz., says: T had constant, dull ache in the small of my back for long time and while it was not very severe, it was sufficient to make me feel miserable. I often went to bed with a backache and got up in the morning with it still clinging to me. There was also a weakness across my .loins that made it difficult for me to stoop, and if I did bend over I became very dizzy. The kidney secretions were too frequent in passage, causing me much annoyance and 1 was bothered by a swelling in my limbs. in fact my whole system was run down. About year ago I procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at the Adams Pharmacy and the use of two boxes disposed of the backache and all fault with my kidneys. I cannot say to much in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills"

TWIN LOST MINES
 NO LONGER LOST
The Second of Them Supposed to Have Been Discovered Near
 Nacozari.

Douglas. Ariz., Feb. 20.-(SpeciaI Correspondence to Republican, For years and years the prospectors in Sonora, Mexico, have been searching for the second of what has been re- corded in history as the Irwin Lost Mines" In certain old records of the early missions mention is made of two certain lost mines. The names the names of most of the missions es- tablished under the Spanish crown, do not correspond with any known land marks today. and hence only relative location can be used as a basis for exploration.
 When the San Pedro mine. located south of NacOzari, was discovered some years ago, with its old under ground workings, it is firmly believed that one of the two lost mines had been discovered Now it seems prob able that. the second also has been located, and in the belt indicated in the ancient documents. Even ii the second of the famous lost mines has not been discovered, an antigua mine of great age has been found. with proofs enough to indicate that it has not been worked for many years.
 The discovery was made by John Guilfoyle, a well known pioneer min ing prospector of Nacozari. When out west of Nacozari about ten miles he came across a piece of detached ore which he picked up and examined. He spent many days looking over the neighboring lodges in the hope of coming across the mother lode But his search was in vain. Mean time he brought in the specimen of ore, and was surprised to find that

it ran 1870 ounces of silver to the ton with good values in gold. This assay ran so high that he returned to the district, and continued his search. While using steel in a creek bot tom, he found rock almost at the surface. but continuing his soundinSs. he suddenly struck a spot where the steel sank several feet.
 Guilfoyle knew that the rock forma ton could not have ended so abruptly, and he began to eXcaVate. He un- covered a long cut in the solid rock of the creek bed which held down stream, and which could not have been cut there when the water was flowing in the present creek bed. As he progressed he found old stone i'm pIements, including stone hammers, hatchets, and finally he came across great ancient mateta, or stone bowl in which the ancient workers pulver- ized the native ores before smelting in their crude dobe furnaces. Later he uncovered matetas. all made of a hard flint rock which must have been brought into the district from a con siderable distance, as there is no flint of this hardness near the mine. After pursuing his work for several days, the drift in the rock led into the ore ledge. but the old workings were found to be closed up solid with silt.
 Guilfoyle pursued his investigation, and found under the soil on the creek upland. the remains of an old slag dump. As is customary with the prospectors in Sonora, Guilfoyle at once had this slag assayed. On ac- count of the primitive methods of smelling employed by the ancient workmen. the slag found on these old dumps is usually rich enough to be worked over again in the modern smelters. which leave nothing of value in the slag, but strange to note, in this case the slag was found to be absolutely worthless, indicating that at this mine the pulveriZing of the ore had assisted in the extraction of the metal values. The antique smelt CTS also knew a lot about the use of certain chemicals in the extraction of metal from the ore and at this mine probably one of those processes was used in connection with the fur mace. only fragments of the foun- dation of which were found by ex- cavation.
 Guilfoyle immediately denounced the ledge on which he had made his find. and called the group of claims "Aguaje." and extensions of the claim have been denounced by Frank Watts, probably the best known min | ing man in Sonora. The latter has
Arizona republican., 1910-02-21

promised the Douglas Chamber of Commerce and Mines to strive to get the collection of ancient tools and to send them to that institution. where they will be added to the eX
 hibit already well represented with specimens from the rich districts in Sonora, including the Nacozari. Moe tezuma, Fl Tigre, La Caridad, Saul huaripa, Cananea, Arizpe and others.
 GuilfoyIe has already leased the Aguaje mine. and inside of tine next few months the old workings, will be opened up. when it is probable that other discoveries will be made to

1t comes with poor grace from pubic utility company, even though the company is heavy taxpayer, to attempt to tell a city how to run its affairs.
 The Pacific Gas & Electric Company IS not trying to do anything of the kind.
 We are simply making the best defense we know how against a small group ot men who are trying to wreck property.
 We are forced to spend money buying ad- vertising space, because we would be cow ards if we did not do our best to defend a valuable and useful property entrusted to our care:
 Moreover. we believe in the justice of our position and are willing TO PROVE TT.
 A MUNICIPAL BOND IS NOTHING MORE OR LESS THAN A MORTGAGE ON EVERY BIT OF PROPERTY IN THE CITY.
 We would be among ALL the taxpayers who would be taxed to- pay the deficits which will result from a COMPETING municipal electric plant
 THE PEOPLES PROPERTY and our property would be MORTGAGED to raise funds to build municipal plant
 Is this not scheme which offends the sense of justice of every man!
 Do YOU not realize, MIR. TAAPAYE Elk, that YOU as well as we, will be taxed heavily to carry on this destructive war for which there is no excuse eXcenf the hatred of few men who are fighting us!
 For your, information let us look briefly at the financial standing of the city and the prospective demands which will be made upon its CREDIT and resources to
Arizona republican., 1910-02-21

throw more light upon the methods adopted by the ancient workers.
 The finding of the stone tools has caused considerable interest among those of an archaeological turn of mind hereJ The Spaniards were eX- perts in the manufacture of steel, so that the tools were not used by them. The supposition is that an In dian tribe worked this mine, and that this tribe probably operated fol- lowing the invasion and occupation of the Spanish adventurers. It is well known that there is a long gap be- tween the sixteenth and eighteenth

centuries where the history of old Mexico and that district now in cluding Arizona and New Mexico, is missing, probably because the mis- sionaries. finding that the crown of Spain robbed every mine reported. ceased to make report of them. In 1920 the Indians killed all the mine workers in Sonora and Arizona, and many mines abandoned at that time have been lost. of the world. in fact, now quest and not part of his- tory. Sonora has many mines, which. on opening. are found to be antiguas, and many of them are very rich.

any comprehensive plan which will be made.
 These four bond issues would total up $9OO,OOO. or more than equal to the pres ent mortgage bonded debt of the city and school district
 1t will require $45 ,000 in TAXES to pav interest on NEW bonds-an amount equal to more than three-fOurths of the present amount raised by taxation for city pur- poses.
 It will require about $35,000 year in TAXES to create SINKING FUND to pay off the bonds in 9 years
 The total mortgage bonded debt of the city would be more than 20 per cent of the present assessed valuation-a prOpor- tlOn so excessive that it Is doubtful if Phoe- nix could sell it's bonds to purchasers at any price near face value.
 Besides the general bond issues and in- creased taxes, property owners and EVERY ONE indirectly - will be assess ed directly to pay for sewers and paving
 You will be told that the municipal electric plant will be self-supporting. Do you really believe 1t will be in COMPEL TION with our company?
 Competition will last only until ALL the taxpayers grow tired of paying HIGHER TAXES for the support of the municipal electric plant.
 Think over what we have said seriously. and ask yourself if it is wise to use the peoples credit and the peoples money to serve the ends of few men who want to ruin the Pacific Gas & Electric Company an organization which stands ready to be fair and reasonable at all times, and TO PROVE TT.

school upon condition that it be made
rco-educational. Hence, beginning with
this session, which opens September
the seventh, both girls and boys be
admitted
With the new dormitory for boys,
now nearing completion, with other
improvements and the enlargng Of the
faculty, we feel that we have a school
we can conscientiously recommend to
those parents who have children to
educate as being first class in every
respect
There are two things we have ever
sought to avoid; First, the employ
ment of inferior teachers and the do
ing of inferior work. The faculty, in
all departments, consists of men and
women of scholarship and of high
ideels, and the influence of these god
ly men and women upon the student
will be wholesome.
This school from its incipiency has
had for its aim the building of chris
tian character The hope of reward
has never been considered, except the
reward that comes to those who are
striving to do good. Not a penny have
the trustees made out of ii nor do they
expect to make. Any surplus over and
above the running expenses will 20 TO

The Trustees, with a few loyal
friends who are investing largely of
their means, call upon the people of

1HE BENEFITS OF a LADIES
DAY.

The people Of Smith county hali
with delight the start of the business
men of this city establish a month
" trades day for the county. Many
counties have had such a day on
which once month the people can
congregate in one certain city of the
county for business and social pur-
poses.
The plan upon which Tyler is or
ganizing hers is wise and farsighted'
Prizes will be gwen for all kinds OF
farm and household products and ac-
complishments. These prizes will in
duce exhibits and lead the people to
meet monthly in friendly contests for
greater excellence which is bound to
stimulate the highest efforts. Those
who enter exhibits and take the
prizes will be on hand to tell their
neighbors and friends how they sue
ceeded in this or that effort. The man
who succeeds at raising alfalfa can
tell his ueighbor and thereby start
him right and save him from failure,
and so can the man who makes good
in every line. The bringing of the
people together once month will in
crease the trade of the city that day
and because of this the prizes can be
afforded. The plan is the co-opera-
tive plan by which monthly fairs can
be held and prizes given with good
to every one and loss to none. All
propositions of the kind must sooner
or later fail unless they are run upon
a sound financial plan. So those who
are endeayoring to stimulate knowl-
edge, bring about cooperation be
tween all the people for better
methods, better development and bet
ter times in Smith county have hit
upon the monthly trades day plan.
Let all our people of all classes boo st
the plan and help it to succeed, for it

mont's Is to the gulf, is one OF the
greatest fish markets in the country.
Why should not Beaumont be fish
market as well?f This is one of the
opportunities that is being allowed to
pass by.-Beaumon Enterprise.
While there are some good fish in
the gulf they are less abundant and
inferior in quality to those of the
Atlantic coast north of Cape Hat
teras. This is owing to the differ
ence in temperature of the water.
The cold Arctic current hugs the
coast as far south as Hatteras, where
il passes under the Gulf stream. Cold
water produces better fish than warm.
In almost every other respect, the
South bests the North in natural
advantages.
