Shortly afterward Pfeiffer and Kolle i'm
munized with killed cultures two men
against typhoid, and made comprehensive
/ studies Of the blood changes resulting from
/ the NEGOTIATIONS. Their work showed that
the immunity produced by the infections
was Identical with that produced by an
attack Of the fever.
/ Then. in 1898, Sir Alfred f. Wright, an
/ enthusiastic believer in the new treatment,
vaccinated with the typhoid cultures four
thousand men OF the British Indian army,
and I'm 1900 on the outbreak OF the Boer
war. he vaccinated certain Of the troops
destined for service in South Africa. The
results Of the NEGOTIATIONS We're good, the
incidence Of the disease diminishing by
one-half and the mortality by two-thirds.
Next. the British. as a crucial test OF the
, new treatment, vaccinated six thousand OF
their soldiers in India, while they main
tanned nearly an equal number of unvaccl-
mated men under similar conditions. IN
order TO compare results. They found that
seven times more Of the non-vaccinated
than OF the vaccnated contracted typhoid
and that eleven times as many OF the
former died OF that disease. Moreover. all
but four Of the vaccnated men who took
the fever had received but one dose, and
those four had very mild attacks. In fact
as many OF the -vaccinated died OF this
plague as were taken sick among the vacci-
mated individuals.

CLARK DISCUSSES PROSPERITY IN
 LONDON

LONDON, July 2s.-Former Unit ed States Senator W. A. Clark own CT of the United Verde property at Jerome, Arizona, when in London before leaving for Trouville, when asked about the copper situation, said that it was fair and promising to be better in the United States, where the consumption for a time ton of steel. There was a relation apparently between copper and steel. When the market for one was good so was the market for the other.
 Copper conditions abroad, he said, were excellent. The exports from the United States to England for the month of June exceeded 3O,O0O tons. The for eign consumption was absorbing and reducing the reserve in the United States at the rate of 10,000,000 pounds a month.
 Ex-senator Clark said that all that was needed to place home conditions in a healthy state was for congress to stop shouting adjourn. Business all around he said had been afflict- ed with too much politics. There had been too many demagogues- some of them in high places. Gener- ally speaking he was exceedingly gratified at the prospects for pros perity in the United States, as the crop conditions seemed favorable.
 Reverting to copper he said that increased consumption would natur- ally lead to increased prices, but he hoped that there would be no in ordinate rise in the price, as that would cause consumers not to buy even what they needed. He would like to see copper reach 14 or 15ets a pound and remain there. That would be a fair price for the eonsum- CT to pay and mines could not be operated profitably when compelled to sell for less.

Doctor Fisher Anxious to Assist Farmers Of Yavapai County in Kidding
 Their Lands of Pests
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Dr. A. K. Fisher in charge of in. vestigatiOn of food habits of birds and mammals of the Biological Sur vey, U. s. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., and Theo. H. Seheffer, assistant Biological Survey, arrived in Prescott Sunday afternoon to remain for several days.
 During their visits they will make trips to different sections of the county where the depredations of prairie dogs and gophers are menaeing crops. Dr. Fisher has not been in this city since 1892 when he journey ed through this locality, collecting specimens of animals and plants to demonstrate geographic distribution.
 Both pr. Fisher and Mir. Scheffer naively waived the responsibility of saying that Prescott is the prettiest city they have seen for obvious req sons, but Dr. Fisher did acknowledge to Journal-Miner representative yes terday that the FMile High" city is revelation to him compared with it's appearance at the time of his last visit. He even eoneurred in tho opinion that Prescott may some day b eanOther Colorado Springs.
 The experts visited farmers near Jerome Junction yesterday afternoon and made demonstrations at the farms of Walter J. Davis, and Larry Little. At the Davis place several interested ranchers were shown the process of poisoning grain to secure best re- suits. On the return journey the party stopped at several badly infest- ed farms. Today, Dr. Fisher and Assistant Seheffer will visit other nearby sections. A trip will possibly be made to the Fonr Mile House on

WATER PROBLEM IS SOLVED BY
 HUGHES
(From Tuesdays Daily


 What is regarded as a very im- portant determination in affecting the value of farming lands in the arid regions between this city and Granite mountain, has been accomplished on the tract of Moses Hughes, of this city, a large flow of water being struck at a depth of l53 feet. Fred Bolden, who has been in charge of drilling at this place, arrived yester- day and gave out the information. MT. Hughes recently located 160 acres as a homestead, and installed a drill to explore the ground. His place is situated on the road to Will iamson valley, and about two miles east of Lees ranch. The water has reached eleven feet in depth and the flow is sufficient to irrigate large portion of the land.

A TROLLEY FABLE.
(Revised.)

AANtNlstu-J
 An honest milkman' while preparing his milk so that it would not con. fliet with the pure food law failed to notice two tiny frogs pass from the mouth of the pump into the can The imprisoned frogs swan about for time until finally one of them cried. "I can't stand this much long CT I'm awfully tired, isn't there any thing for us to ride on7''
 His partner replied, "The only thing we can do is to keep right on kicking, if we don't, we'll sink, go to the bottom and that will be the end of us.'' Poor Faint Heart gave up the struggle and sank, but Vigorous Brother kept on kicking till he had churned up a nice little lump of butter upon which he climbed, lit a cigarette and enjoyed his ride to the city.
 When the honest milkman opened the can and saw Mir. Frog he gasped, -"Well what are you doing there9"
 "Oh taking a little street car ride, replied the frog, "you see there wasn't any ears running when I got here so kept on kicking till I got one"
 Whereupon the enterprising milk man dropped the can and ran all the way to the Chamber of Commerce to notify them of his willingness to subscribe to the subsidy fund for running the street cars.

 pr. Fisher is exceedingly anxious to be of the utmost service possible to besieged farmers in Yavapai County and will not limit his trip to two days as previously outlined, if there is further work to be done here.
 Proceeding to Phoenix at the end of the week the expert will journey to Washington, probably visiting Northern Mississippi en route.
 On Thursday morning at 10:30 'eloek Dr. Fisher will make a de- mOnstration of poisoning grain for feeding prairie dogs and gOphers in the rooms of the Chamber of Com merce, Bank of Arizona building, to which all farmers and others interest ed are cordially invited.

The secretary of the Salt River Valley Water Users Association is authority for the statement that there is enough water in the Roosevelt Dam at the present time to irrigate the land now under cultivation for the next two years. This is particularly fortunate as the regular summer rains in that section have not yet started and the indicators show that more water is continually flowing in- to the dam. The present irrigation lis not using the impounded water at all but taking advantage of the flow from natural sources. The old Arizona bug-a-boO, "nO water" seems to be fading away.

EUROPE TO UTILIZE PANAMA.

There is significance in the report
 that the Hamburg American Steam
 ship Company is planning to estab-
 fish a line of steamers between Ham,
 burg and San Francisco by way of
 the Panama Canal. The company is
 arranging for the purchase of sites
 for docks at San Francisco. More
 over, the plan is to touch at some
 of the other ports on the Pacific
 also, according to reports. At the
 outset this line will cater to the trade of the lower class of immi-
 grants, it is said. Those who want quick trip to the Pacific coast will touch at New York or Boston and take the train across the con- tinent, but the one or two weeks extra time in going by water all the way, and through the canal, will not be a drawback to the average immigrant.
 It is certain that Europe will be a large gainer by the canal-probably a larger gainer than will the United States. Thus far there has not been any talk of an American line to travel between the two coasts, but, of course, this will be had before the canal is open many months. Europe will be quick to take advantage of this short cut between the big oceans. British and French steamship com panies may be relied on to establish 1 lines between their home ports and | some of the Pacific coast towns. | Seattle and Portland are expecting 1 direct communication with Europe through the canal. They may get it earlier that they will get it with some of our Atlantic ports.
 And vet the United States is pay ng the bills for the construction of he canal. Europe will not contribute | cent to the cost. For construction he canal will probably draw more han $40O,OOO,OOO out of the treas Try, although the Washington authori- ies place the figure somewhat lower han this.
