The Arizona Development

OF being a member, held it's first
semi-annual meeting in the audi
torium of the Gadsden Hotel in
Douglas on the afternoon of the
18th day of May. This organiza-
tion which is yet in it's infancy is
composed Of the Secretaries of
the Commercial bodies of the
Territory and Of the immigration
Commissioners of the different
counties, although | believe,
that the immigration Commiss-
ioner of Greenlee county has neg
lected to take out a membership.
This organization is for the
purpose of securing a closer afili-

opportunity to work together,
thereby securing the team work
which is necessary for a general

Special to Arizonian
Washington. d. c., May Z.
An Interesting proposition has
reached Washington in the nature
of a proposal by Mr.. C. C. Cole,
editor of the Gila Valley Record,
to organize a troop of Cavalry
made up of Apache Indians. In
his correspondence to Delegate
Cameron, Mr.. Cole states that
at the time of the taking of the
last census, the district which he
enumerates embraced part of the
San Carlos Indian reservation
and that in the course of his " Wofk
he made the acquaintance of a
large number of Apache boys
who are graduates of different
Indian schools. These boys have
been urging him to secure the
consent Of the Government to
allow them a troop of cavalry to
be recruited from their numbers.
The secretary of War. to whom
the matter was suggested. has
expressed the opinion that it
would be necessary to secure an
act Of Cong resj to authorize the
organization, if it is made up ex-
clusively of members of the
Apache tribe, and if it is found
that such is the case. Mr.. Gamer
on proposes to take the matter
up with his colleagues in Congress
in the hope that he can secure
favorable action. Meanwhile the
Delegate is giving the matter
serious attention in order to arrive

Douglas, the head of the Copper
Queen Mining interests as fol-
lows: Mr.. Douglas says the peo-
pie who live in the farming COM
munities of Arizona seem by their
actions to believe the people re-
siding III the mining towns of the
Territory eat and use nothing but
alfalfa and barley.
They devote, their entire time
and energies to raising these two
articles Notwithstanding the
fact that the merchants are i'm
porting every day carload after
car load of products that may as
we'll be raised in Arizona.
The mining companies in all of
the larger districts are as rapidly
as possible replacing their horses
and other draft animals with cleo
trio trucks which one should plain
ly see cuts down the market for
feed-stuffs. On the streets of
Douglas one seldom ever sees a
horse. the entire busines of the
town being done by Automo-
biles. "
On the train | talked with Mr..
Mills the head of the Detroit
Copper Mining Company of Mo-
renci and he told me that the
Clifton and Morenci Districts
used each month Of the year ten
thousand dollars worth of eggs
and taat by far the greater part
of this is imported from Kansas
and other eastern points to the
detriment of home industry. Yet
our people insist on raising the
crops with which the market is
glutted.
The people of the Clifton and
Morenci district do not live on
eggs and poultry products ex-
clusively and there is just as good
a marketfor other form of gar
den products as there is for eggs.
If our farmers and our merchants
will see that all produce is shipp-
ed in q marketable condition and
placed on the market at the pro-
per time there is no reason why
the immense amount of money
sent to other countries should not
stop right here in Duncan, and
add to the material wealth of it's
inhabitants.
The members who were pre-
sent will ever remember the hos
pitality of the people of Douglas.
Douglas showed herself to be a
wide awake cosmopolitan town
and the dinner and entertain
ment at the Country Club was
credit to the management. To
Mr. Stacy, Mr.. Grindell and to
the Douglas Chamber of Com
merce and Mines we owe our
thanks.

age and is 100 feet deep. The plans
for the temple are not completed but
it will probably be 60 feet wide on
front and 50 feet long. The size of
the lot will enable them to place the
building well back from the street
and leave a good space on each side
of it, so the building will always have
good clear space around it and being
on such an eminence will have a
very commanding view of the busi-
ness section of the town.
The building will be two stories
high and probably built of pressed
brick with granite trimmings. 1t is
expected ground will be broken with
in a very few weeks.

EXPLORED A CAVE.
St. Johnsbury Boys Made Visit To
A Little Known Natural Curiosity
In Town OF Peacham.

The members of the boy choir of
the North church who were in camp
at Joe's Pond last week had an un-
expected trip to little known cave
on the Houghton farm in Peacham.
The boys were guided to the place
by Deputy U. S. Marshal R. G. Sui
loway and Charles Adams, mayor of
Joe's Pond.
The party went across the pond
in boats and then had about four
miles tramp over the hills to a spot
in the pasture where there is appar-
emily frost fssure in the rocks. The
first descent was &c feet down be-
tween the rocks by means of a rope.
Then by the light of lantern they
picked their way down l 5 feet fur
ther. Here the rope was necessary
again and another drop of about 10
feet was made when shelf on the
side of the cliff was reached. The
ropes were not long enough to reach
any other landing below here al
though the opening continued on in
the inky darkness. A stone was
dropped over the cliff and heard to
strike water apparently about 100
feet lower into the earth.
Several side caverns were seen but
not explored as it was very cold
under the ground and some of the
boys felt rather drowsy. The boys
in the party were: Blaine Gotta, Zenas
jerks, Wendell Cowles, Clinton Cary,
Edward Cramton, Earl Clark, Stan
ton Harris and Carlton Mcdonald.
They have seen place but few
people know about and one that is
still but partially explored

or only those which Mr.. Lynch per-
sonally received. The Court intimat-
ed at that time unless a conspiracy
was found on the part of the de-
fendant and others, a large number
of the bonds which were Civ
en- to others than the defendant were
not material and would be charged
out if the jury found that there was
not conspiracy.
The deposition of William H.
Scott of East Haven tended to show
that Mr.. Cobleigh once said to him:
Those who see me through will get
what | have"
When the court came in Monday
afternoon DR.. T. r. Stiles was the
witness put on the stand. He testi-
fed that he saw Mr.. Cobleigh in the
summer of 1909 and that he did
not appear mentally incapacitated,
that he was somewhat infirm ply
sically. George LaPoint was the
next witness called followed by Sher-
burn Lang and the defendant Lynch
took the stand Tuesday.
Court took a recess Saturday noon
and it was announced that the jurors
not on the present panel would be
called back Wednesday afternoon so
as to be ready to take up the next
case when this one goes to the jury
Notice was given to all jurors that
court will take a recess from July
lst to July 10th, that being the week
of the Fourth and Judge Hall having
business elsewhere.
The case of Mason VS.. New Eng
land Telephone Co. was assigned for
trial on July 18th. It ispIanned to
take up the state cases during the
week before to accommodate some of
the counsel in the Mason case.
