The question OF the capability OF

his car could coast from the smelter

AID is REFUSED TO
AMERICANS DYING WIFE.
OFrom Wednesday's Daily.)

tfTOm w eQneSQdy Odlly.)
While passing through Prescott
yesterday from San Diego to Trini-
dad, Colo, Leland Woolworth i'm
parted the sad and surprising news
of the death OF Mrs Fannie Wool
worth, his wife.
According to the story related by
Mr.. Woodwork, his wife passed
away at a mining camp some dis
lance from Durango, Mexico, eight
weeks ago, during confinement, ut
terly neglected by medical atten-
ton, owing to the impossibility Of
an American securing the services
of a physician, as all foreigners
were practically held as fugitives
and unable to move in any direc-
ton. After imploring a Mexican
physician to come to the camp, the
appeals of the husband were I'M
needed and his wife passed away
from a complication that baffled
those women who were present to
allay the fatal malady.
WoOlworth was among the refu-
gees taken out OF the country on an
American war ship, and later he
says he returns to Mexico to re-
move the remains of his wife for
burial on American soil.
+ Mr.. and Mrs. Woolworth were
residents of this county four years
ago, the former working at differ
ent mining camps. Later he intends
to come to this section again to
locate.

CHICAGO ACHING
HEART ASKS RELIEF

(From Wednesdays Dally)
Hello, Bachelors!
Red-haired "baches" need pay no
attention to this greeting.
Big, strapping, awkward cow
punchers contemplating matrimony
are especially urged to commuinl-
cate with Chief OF Police Frank
Heisler. who in the opinion of
Chicago prospect, should prove a
mighty fine substitute for Dan
Cupid. To enlighten the anxious
reader:
The police chief was agreeably
% surprised yesterday when among
his mail he opened letter from
young Chicago woman, aged thir-
" years, who desires to become
acquainted with a western man
and giving a complete description
Of herself and the kind OF west
erner she would prefer. Inasmuch
the applicant herself possesses red
hair she urges that the other hall
Of the prospective. family be minus
this tell-tale sign of temperament.
Chief Heisler was mighty apprecl-
alive of the confidence put in his
ability to supplement Dan Cupid
Esq, but decided that he was not
the right party for the job. Ac-
cordingly he encountered Journal
Miner reporter as a possible pros
pect. The latter took to his heels
upon the suggestion of red hair
but the police chief, who is rather
nimble of foot, soon assured the
frightened scribe that no charge
would be pressed against him sim
ply because his inclinations did no
lean toward perpetual matrimony.

LEASE THE CITY
RANCH FOR go YEARS.
(From Thursdays Daily)

Many of the citys prominent
business and professional men,
every member of the city council,
representatives of the Arizona Land
and Irrigation Company and engi-
neers were present at session in
the City Hall yesterday morning
when the city fathers, by vote OF
3 to ,. granted a ninety-nine year
ease OF the entire city ranch to the
irrigation company.
That the irrigation company
should be granted lease to
portion of the ranch required to
be flooded for the reservoir was
conceded by all the councilmen and
when the Council met in session
Tuesday night and practically de
termined to offer a lease embodying
such proposition it was believed
,hat all the councilmen would ultl-
mately stick together. But yester-
lays result of the session complete
~ shattered this supposition.
Former Senator Burton. repre-
,entative of the irrigation company,
reiterated his former assertion that
his company must have the con-
cessions to the entire ranch; that a
lease as proposed by the Council
would ultimately lead to probable
litigation in the courts and would
eventually prove as disastrous to
the city as to the company.
The City Council in STIMULATING
in its previous proposed lease the
rights of all water concessions along
the water line upon the city ranch
had in mind the possible erection VI
municipal pleasure resort.
Former Senator Burton, however
determined to indicate the fallacy
of such a proposition upon the
city's part inasmuch that they
would always come into conflict
In addition, it was pointed out
the waters of the reservoir would
naturally recede or approach in &C
cordance with the workings of The
dam. This would never permit
stationary water line. With th'
company in complete control :
could so regulate these matters boil
satisfactorily to itself and to the pub
lie in general, he pointed out.
The city, when it purchased th'
ranch, paid S18,255. The land wa
purchased for sewage purposes.
1t will be stipulated in the leas'
from the city to the irrigation
company that the latter must TAX
charge of the sewage system during
the term OF the lease In addition
the irrigation company must pa,
yearly rental OF $500 to the city
Comparing these terms with tn
existing conditions at the ranch, 1
, IS noted that 4 yearly rental o
$500 is derived and that the cit,
takes care Of that section of tn
sewage system at its own ex
pense. However. it was pointed on
that without this sewage no farming
could be conducted upon this ranch
r Former Senator Burton expressed
himself forcibly upon the break il
the supposed understanding be
tween the Council and himself. H
intimated that unless an agreemen
, was reached at once the propose,
start upon the work now would hav
70 be called off until next spring
Weekly journal-miner. [volume] (Prescott, Ariz.) 1908-1929, 1913-10-08

dt WHICH Illllc SOIIlG OlHCI pldllS
would have to be put into effect
His remarks along this line
caused a profound impression and
were taken up by F. M. Murphy,
one of the prime advocates OF the
irrigation project. Mr. Murphy
thought that the city would be
granting practically little in meet
ing with the irrigation company's
proposition in comparison TO the
great benefits to be derived when
the great project materialized. 9th
er prominent local men talked in
the same strain, but one going up
on record as favoring a proviso in
the lease which would concede the
city the sporting privileges OF the
lake.
Many of the men present were
asked for brief expressions upon
the matter and among those who
voiced their opinions were E. s.
Clark, R. N. Fredericks, NJ B.
Hazeltire, E H. Meek, c. T. Jos
lin and Attorney Robert E Morri-
son. counsel for ire company. 9th
ers present were o. Helsa, Rev.
Mandin, G. f. Meaney. J. A. Hope
and City Attorney E. J. Mitchell.
Every member OF the City Council
was in attendance and also City
Clerk John H. Robinson.
When it became evident that the
Council, or rather portion OF that
body, was opposed to the rather
liberal policy advocated by the as
sembled citizens in Endorsement Of
the former senator's desires. matters
became interesting.
NJ. B. Hazeltine suggested that
the sentiment OF the assembled cit
liens be CLEANED regarding the
proposition. BY a vote of 10 to ],
the Council not voting, the senti-
ment was expressed 10 the Council
that former Senator Burton was
backed in his argument. F. Fl.
Meek voted in the negative.
Councilman Frank Whisman then
motioned that the lease convey
ing the entire ranch to the irrigation
company be ratified by the Council.
He was seconded by Councilman
Head.
When the roll was called. Council
man Head voted yes" Councilman
Richards also voted yes" Then
Councilman Harry Heap pronounced
the word mo" Councilman Wits
man carried the day for the "en-
tire ranchers," while Mayor Tim
erhof stuck to Councilman Heap
in the mays"
1t Is presumed that no difficulty
will now be encountered in pass
ing an ordinance which will legally
authorize the signing of the lease.
From this fact it can be CLEANED
that one changed vote between now
and the time the ordinance is
passed may mean that the action Of
yesterday will be upset.
General interest in the city ranch
proposition and the irrigation prof
ect was displayed throughout the
city yesterday and the arguments
expressed in public pro and con
would have done justice to the in
terest in a public election. Some
contended that the city fathers
should not have entirely surrend
cred a $4,000 ranch to further the
interests of a private corporation
floating a cold business proposition
while other viewing the result Of
the session from a different angle
declared that it was a case of event
ually bringing to Prescott more in
remuneration than the value Of the
ranch represented.
Yesterdays session commenced
at II o'clock in the morning and
it was not until a few minutes be-
fore o'clock that the score or
more men adjourned to go to their
late lunches.
