FROST IS VISIBLE ON PLANET
 MARS

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Nov. 1O.-The first autumn frost over night has ap- peared in the Antartic regions of the planet Mars. It was first observed at the Lowell Observatory on Nevem- Der 3, the Martian date then being what corresponds to August 16 with the earth.
 The frost was seen as a bright spot on the planets sunrise edge, and only there, not continuing on the disk as the planet turned.
 It is evident that this bright area was boar frost from the fact that it was gradually dissipated as it was brought into sunlight by the planet $ daily rotation. In whiteness it rival led the planets south Polar cap and must have lasted for an hour and a half to two hours after the sun had risen on that part of the planet to be thus visible.
 Calculations show that it lay in latitude 62 degrees to 65 degrees south and longitude TO degrees to 23O de- grees. It has been seen on Novem- Der ,, 6 and z, and photographed on esveral plates.
 The repetition of the phenomena night after night, combined with its restriction to certain Martian hours, shows that it was a diurnal matter, and the snow covering throughout the day of those attitudes. This is the first time this particular phenomenon has ever been observed.

From Thursdays Dsfiy)

Somewhat of a sensation was ere ated yesterday morning when the grand jury sumbitted its final re- port and was discharged after mak- ing an examination of county build ings and grounds, when strong and emphatic language was used by a special committee which investigated the county courthouse. This com mittee's observations were to the ef- feet "that the building was found to be in bad repair. The officers of the treasurer and supervisors were found to be badly cracked, indicating that the building is settling rapidly. The records of the different offices were found to be absolutely unpro- teeted from fire and many of the offices are too small in which to conduct business. The office of dis triet attorney should be located in the courthouse, which is impossible with the present building. On the whole your committee recommends that the present building be con- demned and the proper authorities be authorized to arrange for a new building" The report was signed by D. M. Clark, c. E. Champie, W. N. Cook, A. H. Bozarth and R. A. Kins- man, and was unanimous.
 The committee appointed to exam inc the county jail, made a very fav- orable report, commenting Sheriff J. w. Smith and his deputies for the neat and sanitary condition rigidly maintained. In addition not one complaint was heard from prisoners and the administration was heartily endorsed.
 The county hospital committee visit ed that property and submitted a favorable report, stating that all buildings were found to be kept in a neat condition and in good order MT. and Mrs. David Finney, and the coard of supervisors were commended for the economical management of the hospital and farm

HEROIC TEACHERS SAVE
 CHILDREN FROM FIRE

TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 8. Eight young women school teachers, each armed with a chemical fire-extinguish- CT, so effectively constituted them selves a fire-brigade under the able leadership of their principal, Mrs. Carrie Rechel, as to extinguish a fire which broke out in the Holiday school on East Sixth street at 10 o'clock this morning and for time threaten ed the lives of the children in the first grade.
 The fire department responded to the alarm with a rush to the build ing, but the fire-fighting teachers had the flames subdued just before the department arrived.
 The blaze started in the first grade by sparks from the stove falling into box containing scraps of plaster, papers and other odds and ends. It burst into flame and the room was afire almost in an instant. The chil- dren were panic-stricken.
 The noise which followed brought the principal, Mrs. Rechel with a fire extinguisher. She began at once to try to put out the fire with her chemical. At a call, all the other seven teachers of the building re- sponded, each bringing a chemical fire extinguisher with her. While the children were ushered out to safety, the whole battery of eight extin- guishers was turned on the flame and quickly subdued it. The damage from burned woodwork was not large.

BOX CANYON DAM
 AND RAILROAD ASSURED

BOX CANYON, Ariz., Nov. 9.-It is reported in railroad circles that the building of the long delayed cutoff between Winkelman and San Carlos through the box canyon of the GiIa river is assured. The route will be over the high line through the can yon and will not in any way inter fere with the proposed irrigation pro ject whereby 100000 acres of arid land between Florence and Casa Grande will be converted from a drowning, fOrbidding desert into a land of homes and fertile farms Many people have been under the i'm pression that the right of way along the low line, near the bottom of the canyon is absolutely essential to the construction of this cutoff and that. if the Southern Pacific were not granted this right of way rendering impossible the construction of the huge storage dam and condemning to permanent aridity the fertile lands between Florence and Casa Grande. no other route is possible and the line could not be built.
 According to engineers this idea is entirely erroneous. Both projects are possible and feasible and both will be put into execution. It will merely cost the railroad more money.
 Two different lines have been sur veyed which will place the railroad where it passes the damsite five miles below San Carlos, 15O feet higher than the formerly proposed low line, so that it will not interfere with or prevent the building of the dam.
 The total length of the line to be built from San Carlos on the Arizona Eastern to the end of the Phoenix & Eastern, nine miles northeast of Winkelman, is thirty miles and it is estimated that it will cost $3O,OOO,OOO or S1,000,O0O per mile. It will be nearly all rock work and will neees- sitate many bridges and tunnels, hence the high cost of construction, says the Globe Silver Belt.
 Washington adviees are to the ef- feet that the right of way along one or the other of the surveyed high lines will soon be granted by the In- teriOr department and it is definitely known that the right of way along the cheaper low line will not be grant ed. But the railroad company is said to be satisfied and a prominent Sou thern Pacific official has assured Silver Belt representative that con- struetiOn will begin in a few months.
 The building of this road will cut down the present railroad distance between Globe and Hayden, the loca- tiOn of the new shelter being built by the American Smelling & Refining company, from 45O to 70 miles.
 Its importance to the Globe-Miami district cannot be Overestimated, af- fording as it will a haul of only 70 miles for the ores and concentrates of the district which are now shipped to Fl PasO and Cananea, to the new shelter at Hayden.
 It will also give easy access to the fertile Silt River valley, the distance to Phoenix being reduced from 36O to 175 miles or to less than half.
