Process of Removing Water
Surrounding Wreck Prac-
tically Completed = Now
Comes the Problem of
Mud of Unknown Depth.

Havana. July 1S.-The process Of
removing the water surrounding the
wreck of the Maine was practically
completed this afternoon. when the wa
ter i'm the cofferdam was lowered Is
feet, leaving the wreck surrounded by
islets of mud. small pools and sink
holes of green. Shiny water. Scundings
show nowhere a depth in excess Of four
feet
The engineers now face the serious
problcm of removing the mud in which
the remains of the battleship are en-
bedded from a minimum of 81 feet to
a depth that can only be cOnjectured.
Although the water is now only two
feet lower than i'm the previous pump
ing operations. the. revelations with
regard to the shattered hulk have been
vastly enlarged, owing To the out
spreading of the distorted frames and
plating. especially in the forward sec
ton. where the explosion did the great
est damage.
The structure of the bow, as far aft
as the frame is now exposed, permit
ting an analysis Of plates. beams, ribs,
etc. and it has been conclusively
proved that they originally belonged t.
the structure Of the double bottom.
which is now elevated 20 a height of 80
feet above normal position. apparently
giving confirmation Of tremendous
exterior explosion.
To this view, however, the engineers
decline to commit themselves, merely
admitting the Identification of parts of
the bottom of the ship.
The present intention is not to at
tempt to remove the drifting quantity
of water between the cofferdam, but ia
make preparations to erect foundations
for cranes and derricks, with which to
extract the heaviest parts of the wreck
age. after which means for removing
the mud must be decided upon. Prepa e.
rations for the extensive excavations
will consume several months.
The exploration of the galley resulted
i'm the discovery of two pots halt
kitchen use. some of which at first
were believed to be human bones
Hope of the discovery Of the bodies of
many of the crew is diminishing be
cause Of the unexpected complete de-
molition of the berth deck.
The engineers are pleased with the
success Of the cofferdam. which, in
spite of much adverse criticism, is re-
sisting fully % per cent of the esti-
mated maximum strain without the
slightest sign of weakening.

COTTON BREAK
WAS SENSATIONAL
The Decline Amounted to Almost
$500 a Bale.

New Orleans, July 1S.-The cotton
market today was one Of the most
exciting in many months, with heavy
sales and sensational declines in all
futures.
Private reports from Liverpool are
that the bull leaders in liquidating.
stirred up selling in all parts of the
cotton world and futures on the New
orleans exchange opened at wide
decline, only to go still lower as the
trading progressed.
When the trading was over, IT was
the general opinion on the floor that
the bull campaign in the summer
months had been abandoned but not
until the leaders materially had light
ened their loads.
August. the most active of the old
crop months. lost As points at it's
lowest or nearly half a cent pound
A couple of points more and it
would have been $3.50 a bale under
yesterdays close. This represented
an enormous loss in the lines Of
long August the bulls are supposed
to own.
The new crop months were not as
weak as August although at their
lowest were $1.75 a bale cheaper
than at yesterdays close. The busi-
ness was the largest in many weeks

SENATOR SMOOTS
WOOL TARIFF BILL
Compromise Between Present Law and
La Toilette Measure.

Washington, d. c., July 1S.-Senator
SmOot of the senate committee on
finance will introduce tomorrow his
wool tariff revision bill 1t will be
presented as substitute for the
house measure and will receive the
support of the regular republicans
and of the administration.
The bill provides for a general
reduction on wool and woolens. but
does not go so far on either as the
house bill. 1t fixes the same rate on
first class wool that the La Toilette
bill names, so long as that class
maintains the price of 22la cents a
pound but as the rate is specific,
the protection is made variable as it
is under the ad valorem system of the
Wisconsin senator.
1t retains higher duties on woolens
than are provided by the La Toilette
bill The Smoot bill maintains the
classificatiOns of the present law in
three grades of wool Instead of a
rate of II cents per pound on first
class wool in grease and IL cents
for second class, rate OF cents
a pound is provided for both classes.
On washed wool of both classes the
rate is doubled and on secured wool
il is trebled. on third-class wool
the rate is fixed at cents and in
stead of and Z cents.
"The rates in my proposed sub
stitute" said Mr.. SmoOt are now as
low as l believe it possible for the
American wooden business to exist
under. judging from information in
my possession. It may be in some
instances, that the rates are little
high and in others that the eighty
percenteum limitation may be little
too low. I shall reserve the right
to support changes in any rates pro
posed by my substitute if the tariff
board produces evidence to justify
same"

good streets are their very best in
vestment That there is to be
Greater Phoenix in the broadest
sense Of the term, | have no doubt
I hear estimates of fifty thousand
population in five years and after
careful survey of the situation, l
think the estimate is conservative
once give Phoenix a through trans
continental railroad, and the big ini-
tial work is done. You have water.
and abundance of it, the finest fall.
winter and spring, climate on earth,
and YOU are the center of all the
great development which always fol-
lows the accomplishment of state
hood.
But getting back to street paving.
am going to predict that within
the next two years Phoenix will have
an area thirty blocks square of the
finest streets in the country. When
ever the paving era has started in a
progressive city with live men at its
helm, it has never stopped short of
universal our company is about to
offer to the residence sections Of the
city an excellent quality of pavement
at much lesser cost than that in the
business section. From inquiries we
have made l am confident that the
will be eagerly adopted. In towns
approximately this size in California,
towns like Long Beach and Riverside
from $750.OO0 to s1,000,000 dollars has
been expended to date in paved
streets. No one doubts that Phoenix
viii be a much larger city than the
two mentioned, so necessarily the
amount expended for pavement here
viii be greater.
You have many sterling assets
but to my mind none more worthy
OF development than your winter eli
mate. All that is needed is the real
get together spirit which has made
Los Angeles and all Southern Cali
fornia what they are to-day. Where
you will have one fine hotel the COM
ing winter. you are likely to have
two or three the next winter, and
still more to follow But if YOU are
going to be a continental winter re-
sort, to my mind your manifest des-
tiny, YOU must grow to it, and the
first big requirement is fine streets.
They attract the wealthy who bring
their own fine machines, and its
hundreds of thousands spent by veal
thy tourists which has made Los
Angeles what she is to-day"

A MOHAVE MINE

Check for That Amount Paid for
Gold Roads Yesterday.

Kingman, Ariz.. July B.-With the

his inside pocket, sales price of the
Gold Road mine, William Bayley
representing the corporation is speed
ing to Los Angeles tonight on a fast
train and tomorrow will begin the
disbursement of the money among
the shareholders.
Yesterday at Prescott the stock
holders ratified the sale of the Gold
Road mines to the United States
Smelling company represented by
Sidney j. Jennings of Boston who
gave Mr. Bayley his personal check
in payment of the price agreed upon
Tomorrow, the United States Smelling
company will take over the great
gold property, nearly all the directors
of the company being here for that
purpose.
The mines pass for the sum OF
81. 500. 900, the check held by Mr.
Bayley going to the shareholders while
the balance goes to the liquidation oi
the outstanding bonds Of the ole
corporation. This is the largest single
check ever given for a mine in the
territory of Arizona.
The Gold Road mines are situated
twenty four miles southwest of thi:
place and are reputed to have more
than two million tons OF twelve dol
lar ore in sight and have been grea

They are now producing at the rate
of $4,000 per month with a forty

Bio Noses In japan.

The nose plays a very important
part in Japan, owing. probably. that a
difference in noses constitutes about
the only distinction between one Jap
anese and another. The nose is the
only feature which attracts attention.
AS there are very few large noses to
be found IN Japan, a lady with a large
nose is regarded as one specially gift
ed by nature She is invariably a
reigning beauty and the envy OF her
less favored sisters. In all japanese
pictures in which ladies are portrayed
the artists are particularly careful to
make the nose of liberal dimensions.
