But, if you are so attached to city ways that you took the roof of this porch for an elevated station, I advise you-I advise you,-indeed I can't help advising you to return to Chicago. Elevated railroads will not be introduced here for many years. Such improvements will not be made until we have statehood. It would be best for you to return, my poor fellow"

SUMMER SESSIONS
 AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
Registration Will Begin Tomorrow
 Morning.

The summer session at the high school will begin tomorrow morning. All arrangements have been made for this term in vacation by Profs. Jones and Michael who will be in charge They will teach classes in their spe- cial lines. science and business. and perhaps some other subjects. Prof. Soule. the head of the English de- partment will teach the classes in English and some of the languages. The courses of study will be arranged to accommodate the greatest number of students Classes begin at seven a. m.
 This school has the sanction and good will of the school management. It will undoubtedly prove very bene- ficial to many students who are de- sirous of making up work. Often an entire year may be saved in this way Parents should interest themselves in the credits of their children: find out how many they need and if time can be saved by taking this work. This should be done for at least two good reasons. First, the child may only need a credit or two or even a frac tion of a credit to finish in a certain year. These can easily be made up. Then it may be that there are some who depend upon doing more in their last years than they should do in order to finish. This is bad for the reasons that the student is either overworked or by having too much to do does it poorly. So it would undoubtedly be the wise thing for parents to take a personal interest in this matter and see if their children need to make up any work.
 Registration begins early Monday morning, also the assigning of les sons will be done at that time The evening session will begin at seven.
 From all indications the weather will be pleasant for most of the term and as the classes will be held dur ing the cooler portions of the day none should be deterred on that ac count

NO ELEVATED ROADS
 IN PHOEN|X--N YET 4. R. CATER APPEARS IN ROLE OF CHIEF COUNSELOR. Poor, Deluded Chicagoan, Gets in Wrong and Is Given Good
 Advice.

A pedestrian rushed up Central avenue yesterday afternoon carrying a neatly wrapped tenderloin s,eak, and pair of shoes under his arm He was a stranger in the city.
 Coming to the stairway which has recenly been put in before the office of the Southern Pacific and F.. J. Bennitt company to accommodate the occupants of the offices up stairs while the construction of the new Goodrich building is going on, he sprang for the rail, and began to climb hastily.
 He clambered up to the top. and finally stood on the roof of the porch. looking about blankly. His climb had been noticed by Mir. Archibald Cat ter. of. the Arizona Eastern, who, standing on the sidewalk below, from whence. the seeming madman had climber so hurriedly, looked up at him, completely nonpulsed and fab bergasted.
 At last he called out:
 Say. What do you think that is up there? An observation parlor?
 I over the railing in a surprised sort of way, and said, in a manner which showed he was not to be prayeo with
 Certainly not"
 Still insistent, Mir Cater, who de- serves to be called Captain Courage ous," called up again:
 Well. then what are you doing up there. anyhow?
 I'm waiting for the elevated"
 Thinking the party above him ought to be treated mildly. Mir. Cat ter went up the stairs and took him by the arm. speaking very gently, and with more than his accustomed suavity.
 There now Keep cool, and rest. my fellow. It will soon pass away, this flight of fancy"
 Well, how soon are the cars com ing?"
 They aren't coming at all. We have no elevated here"
 Well, I'm jiggered.' said the hasty one T suppose you think I'm ready Tor the red wagon. but I really,-you We have elevated roads all over Chicago, and when I saw that stair running up from the outside of he sideWalke to the roof, I naturally bought it was an elevated station. So I went up to take the cars"
 How long have you been away rom Chicago?" asked Mir. Cater re- lectively.

IMPORTANT MINE
 TRANSACTION CLOSED
. fSrsm Sunday s Daily )


 Negotiations were closed in this city yesterday for the purchase Qf the DeGandt group of gold mines. near Columbia in the southern part of the county. While the consideration was not given publicity. the price paid is believed to have been several thousand dollars. The seIIsss ase George Carey and Matt Sullivan. and the purchaser, R. O. Locke. of Albu- queFque, N. NJ. Interest is attached to this transaction from the fact that the mines were originally work ed in the pioneer era. Since the death of Mr. DeGandt, about five years ago, the estate has been in pro bate and work was suspended
 George Carey, past owner, is one of the oldest and best known Hassav- ampers in Arizona and on his arrival in the city yesterday was extended a cordial welcome from many friends and acquaintanees. He has been, with his associate, MT. Sullivan, a stsuneh believer in the future of that section, and will continue to be identified with mining there, retain ing other interests.
 oAL. LoChS, hAbO dC4uAIco the yIOp- erty, stated yesterday that the cree tion of a mill will be the first con sidersti0u extended, a large tonnage being ready for reduction from for mer development. He also expresses himself as a strong advocate of the good roads movement, and believes that with road facilities extended that section, there will follow one of the greatest gold producing domains in this county. A concerted movement is soon to be made to have immediate action taken toward building the territorial highway on the route sur VeYed, which passes close to his camp The benefit of the route will be sh0xu in Prescott receiving practi- eallE all of the trade of the district, the distance to the railroad terminus at Crown King being less than one third of the distance to Phoenix. Under present. conditions, investors are loath to enter that field, which with good transportation would soon become one of tbA- most attractive mineral divisions of the county.

 Of far reaching importance to the
 future welfare of tins city, and of
 incalculable benefit to the county at
 large, is the announcement that was
 given publicity yesterday of the pur.
 chase by eastern capitalists of a
 domain of land embracing over 32,000 acres in Lonesome valley, and the re-
 clamation of the same by water stor- age. The transaction is one of the heaviest that has ever been recorded in the history of Arizona and the lands to be reclaimed are among the richest within the territory.
 The eonsummation of this most inn portant undertaking follows after ma ture deliberation, scientific research of conditions, and attractive possibili- ties offering exceptional induce ments in production. Behind this great movement is Colonel F. P Thay CT, and former Congressman James E. Watson, of Indiana, both of whom have made frequent trips to the coun- try and carefully investigated eondi- tions to the smallest detail The vast area taken over was purchased from the Atehison, TopekT-and Santa Fe Railway Company. About 1S,000 acres of the grant Ianassvas included while the remaining I4,00O acres was scripped from Moqui Base for govern ment lands, adjoining the acreage sold. As delineated in the deeds the lands begin at a point about six miles north of Prescott in the Point of Rocks section and end in lower Chino valley, the line of the S. F., P. & P railroad running through the center of the purchase a distance of over twelve miles. All lands open to location, and which are to be re- claimed on the principles outlined, are embraced in this purchase. Asso- ciated with the deal is the taking over under option of other lands, that of the Wynkoop ranch, embracing over goo acres, being among the most important.

GRAFT CHARGED
 AT sACAToN AGENCY

MESA, Ariz., April 15.- It has been known for some time past that there was trouble at Saeaton. Word came to this office that J. B. Alex andeT. agent in charge. and several of his subOrdinates had been suspend ed. Inquiry of every source that should naturally have been posted failed to secure only vague rumOrs as 10 just what had caused the trouble Parties who prOfessed to have inside :oiI refused 10 talk, and there was DO action in. court against the parties accused of being mixed up in the affair. ----.
 . A copy of the Evening Bulletin, Philadelphia, dated April 9th, is at hand and gives a report of one of the men who came to Arizona to investi- gate affairs at SaeatOn.
 HGhar2es of graft on the Pima reservation for Indians at Saeaton Arizona, were made yesterday at meeting of the executive committee of the Indian Rights association, by NJ. K. Sniffen, secretary of that body He has just returned from visit to Arizona. He said, in part:
 "The situation at Saeaton was one of the worst I ever came in contact with. When I tell you that we found things crooked from start 10 finish, ad that the government and the In- dians have been systematically rob bed for years, you can have some idea of what the situation was. Draw on your imagination for the desails and you can hardly eXaggerate the. conditions that existed, at that point for so long. It was a carnival of crime All we suspected was proved to be true, and good deal mOre.H
 "The association filed charges with the Indian office last December and asked for an investigation at the same time offering to send MT. Sniff fen to cooperate with the official de tailed for the work. It was alleged that J. B. Alexander administration had been marked by dishonesty, gen eral neglect of the welfare of the Pi- ma Indians and failure to protect their rights.
 "The Commissioner of Indian Af- fairs, Robert c. Valentine, acted and Inspector Edward B. Iinnen was instructed to proceed to .be reservation and make a thorough investigation of the charges made.
 'His investigation was most search ng and resulted in the prompt sus- pension of Alexander and six of his and the transfer of one ,ther. It is believed that the shake ID will reach a few more employees ,n the Pima reservation.

day, will be followed immediately by the construction of eoffer dams and the laying of the foundation for the damsite. This work will be rushed with all speed, the intention being to have both completed by September l of this year.
 The intention of those behind this movement is to establish at once a school of agriculture on the large in- terests, in which movement the agrI- cultural department at Washington has been. asked to assist. and which it is believed win be endorsed. It will be the largest institution of. its kind in the southwest, and a scienti- tie instructor will be stationed there.
 Other interesting details are given publicity affecting this great under. taking which are supported by abso- lute data to warrant the inaugurating of the great reclamation project.
 Negotiations were started last Aug ust, and the first practical observa- tions were made by A. L. Harris. assistant engineer of the Roosevelt dam. This authority visited the sec tion several times, and after inspect ing the site for the storage of water, and ascertaining land data, endorsed the undertaking. His observations were conclusive, and from which are deducted the all important informa- tion that the land to be reclaimed can be reached at any point on a gravity basis.
 The water shed was surveyed and contains an area of seventy square miles. Within it annually on the lower elevations there falls eighteen inches of water, while on the moun- tain ranges adjacent the precipita- tion shows twenty-three inches.
 In fertility and productive ability, this interesting feature was passed upon by Prof. R. W. Clothier, cnief of the department of agriculture of the University of Arizona, at Tucson. This scientific man, made several trips to the country and is firmly convinced that the soil is of the

Construction work on the big watel storage dam of the Yavapai Bullion Mining Company in Copper Basin wash, is ready to begin, and as soon as the many bids received from con crete contractors in many cities in Arizona and California are considered. the project will be turned over to the successful bidder Excavation for the structure was finished a few days ago, and reveals quite an imposing dam for the impOunding of water for sluieing the placer holdings of the company. About 5000 cubic yards of concrete will be required.
 The dam has length of TO feet, with a wing on the east side of 100 feet, while on the west side one of lesser dimensions will be built. The heighth will be thirty-fve feet and estimates place the storage capacity at 20,000,000 gallons. The work will be started probably during the com ing week and rushed 10 completion as fast as possible, to conserve the flow from the summer rains. The dam will be built on the curve prin- ciple, so as to withstand any cloud burst that may occur. Pipe lines will conduct the water by gravity to ground to be sluieed.
