FOR A BIG ROAD FUND.

The Miners Article regarding the issue of S10O,000 bonds for good roads for the county has been universally approved by the property owners of the county and assurance for support for the measure have come in from all parts. The people realize that if they are to get any benefit soon they must get together on big fund for road work. Nearly all our roads could be shortened several miles between King man and the mining camps by bridg- ing the small gulches and straighten- ing out the big kinks in the roads. The surveying of the roads and the grading up of the main travelled high ways will be of the utmost importance to the people whether interested in road work or not.-Mohave- Miner.

DROP OF 2,ooo FEET ON
 RAY-GLOBE HIGHWAY

GLOBE-Surveyors from the state engineers office are in the field To- eating a state highway connecting Globe and Ray.
 The engineering corps is working from a mountain point at the head of Rustler Gulch, twenty miles from Globe and four miles from Ray.
 The party arrived in Ray from Phoe- nix Saturday, in charge of Assistant State Engineer F. R. Goodman, field man of the state engineering depart ment. With him is Joe DeSousa, w. M. Subers and H. D. Ross, son of Judge Ross of the supreme bench. T. c. Waddill, one of the "on honor" was sent along as packer from the state prison and L. D. Richardson, also an honor" man was sent along as cook.
 To get to the distance from the sum init to Ray and offset little more than 2,000 feet drop is what is engag- ing the attention of the engineers.
 Some engineers estimate that in or der to make this drop of approximate ly 2,000 feet without an excessive grade the expense will be enormous. For one thing it will be necessary to construct a long winding road. If this can be accomplished, however, it is thought the way will be opened to lay out a road from Ray to Globe avoiding sand washes or other difficulties in mountain road building.

GOOD ROADS FUND
Bills Will Be Drafted to Provide Rev.
 enue for Improvement.

PHOENIX, Mar. 27.-At the confer ence Tuesday afternoon between Gov ernor Hunt and the good roads com mittee it was agreed to ask the legis- lature to provide for levying tax of twenty-five cents on every hundred dollars in property in every county in the state for good roads. Heretofore it has been optional with counties whether they should levy a ffve-cent tax or a larger one, and counties in which work had not yet comm enced availed themselves of the privilege of the minimum tax.
 The proposition, as agreed upon at this conference, is to make the assess ment uniform in all the counties, re- gardless of whether any work has been commenced in the county or not.
 The task of drafting the proposal into a bill to be presented to the legis- lature was confided to committee consisting of President Norris and the three members of the board of supervisors of Maricopa county This committee will also consider the mat ter of a bond issue, and if thought to be necessary draft bill dealing with that question also.
 A further meeting of the association is called for April to meet in this city, at which time the draft of the bill, which is expected to be made by that time, will be presented to the meeting for approval.-Democrat

TO GROW EUCALYPTUS TREES

An experiment with eucalyptus trees will be conducted on the Warren ranch. A hundred of these hardwood trees are being planted on the ranch this week for the purpose of deter mining whether the trees are adapted to this part of the country and if the experiment should prove that they are it will be of inestimable benefit to the county. The trees that are being planted were brought from California and are said to be adapted to high al titudes. The ranch will also conduct an experiment with .catalpa trees, a tree native to Carolina. ''Catalpa" was the language spoken by the Carolina Indians, the tree having been discov- cred by a scientist named Catesby in Carolina in 1726. They are usually cultivated as shade trees, but are also used extensively for posts. One thous- sand seedlings will be planted at the Warren ranch.

HORSE THIEVES OPERATE
 IN HAYDEN DISTRIC T

GLOBE, March 27-Sheriff Frank Haynes and Deputy Sheriff Eugene Shute spent yesterday in looking for two horse thieves who Sheriff Haynes had been informed had passed thru Hayden and were reported headed towards Globe. Sheriff Haynes and Deputy Shute secured the country in the vicinity of Gibson's ranch but were unable to find any persons ans wering the description of the men and returned to Globe late last night.
 According to the telephone message received from Hayden these two men are suspected of being the same two men who knocked a Chinaman in the head at Seligman, robbing him of $75 in cash and then proceeding to Phoe- nix where they stole two horses. Jeff Adams and his deputies were soon on the trail of the thieves. The sheriff S office notified Hayden and yesterday Deputy Sheriffs Martin and Henderson who had been on the lookout discov- cred the two men. They attempted to make an arrest but the robbers who were mounted on fleet footed horses opened fire upon the officers who re- ,aliated with conversation from their forty-fves." The robbers, however escaped and were reported headed towards Globe.-Silver Belt.
