NEW BIRDS ARE DRIFTING ID
 THE WEST

SPOKANE, Jan. 15.-Out of the East has come recently bird hithcr- to unknown in the Spokane country, bringing joy to the farmers. The ad- vent of strange wild bird to this vicinity was reported this week by Joseph F. Honeckcr, United States ornithologist in Spokane. It IS a cardinal grosbcak and Mir. Honeckcr describes the bird as extremely bcnc- icial to agriculture The habitat of the grosgcak is the East, but the hope is expressed by the ornithologist that the appearance of the single specimen is indicative that the species is nov ing westward. Among other new birds which Mir. Horncckcr has ob served here recently are three snowy owls, a Bohemian waXwing and l6 American crossbills.

REIMBURSEMENT WHAT IS NEEDED

The State legislature. at its first session put itself in harmony with the sentiment of the people, express ed at the election in November, when the lawmakers refused to put into po- sition of power and authority men
 who have been conspicuous in the regime of Huntism in Arizona. This was done on a clear division as be- tween supporters of Hunt and collab- orators in the record of his regime, and protestant Democrats and Re- publicans. Here 1t should be recalled that the election of Governor Camp bell was in no sense d partisan vic tory, but the result Of a non-partisan alliance between independent voters. It IS true that many Democrats saw
 in the candidacy of Mir. Campbell a means of purifying their own party of Huntism by heroic methods, and they were in this sense partisans. but their

ANOTHER COPPER
 PROPERTY IS PRODUCING
CFrom Fridays Daily.)

]. A. Martin, who was in the city yesterday from his Ramsgatc copper camp, imparted the important infor- nation that shipping was under way to the works of the Great Western Shelter Co, at Mayer, the contract closed calling for deliveries to be made for months to come.
 This is not a custom move, said the owner, but for the purpose of furnish ing the plant with desirable fiuxing article, the copper ores carrying a high excess of iron, in addition to other bi-mctals being a factor to sup port production. The market now available for this property, the owner stated, will permit of extensive opera tions and from his low grade copper output expenses of development will be more than offset by returns given.
 Mir. Martin has been quietly work ing his claims for many years, which are situated in the north zone of Cop per Basin, and on the contact that leads into Commercial territory. He said: Indicidually speaking, I am pleased over the Great Western talk ing my product, as it will permit me to carry out deep operating plans un- der financial conditions which l could not meet otherwise. The Ramsgatc is now assured of deep exploration and this begins forthwith or as soon as accommodations can be provided for a mine force; in the meantime stoping goes ahead, and from zones opened a big tonnage is ready; that section has other coppers, and the outlook now is gratifying for the country to be opened up.'
 An induccment for this property 10 enter the productive stage IS its near by location to the railroad, thus re- ducing the expense of handling the ore output to minimum.

Grand Pacific Is
 A Good Prospect
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

One of the most promising of the new copper properties which have come under public notice during the past two years, is the Grand Pacific in the Superior district and owned by the Grand Copper Company.
 While 1t is not yet fully developed 1t cannot be considered as a mere prospect, as it has been producing considerable high grade ore which is being shipped to the smelters at good profit.
 It IS being operated under the su- pervision of w. A. Thatcher. who for l6 years was manager of mining properties for a syndicate of Standard Oil people in Utah, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, California, Oregon, British Columbia, Mexico and South and Central America.
 Prior to identifying himself with this property he spent over a year looking over undeveloped properties in Arizona in search of a promising one. and not until he was directed to the Grand Pacific did he find what he considered would justify investment and his time to develop it.
 To insure him from making a mis- take and to confirm or contradict his judgment he secured William F. Cor don to examine the property, and he made an extremely favorable report on it and concludes his report with hearty endorsement of Mir. Thatch. CTS judgment and expressed the opin- ion that there is the making of big mine in the property.
 Since the Grand Pacific Company has commenced operations the devel- opment performed by them has been of the most satisfactory kind as the ore increases in volume and richness with every foot of work done.

HIGHEST DAM IN WORLD ID BE
 CONSTRUCTED

SPOKANE, Jan. l6 - Preliminary work costing Sl75,OOO has been com pletcd on the Pend Oreille river, at a point about l25 miles north of Spo- kane. preparatory to a hydro-electri- cal development that will include the highest dam in the world.
 The dam will be I5 feet high above the bed of the river, and will have an extreme length of about 250 feet at the crest. It will be g feet taller than the Arrow Rock dam, which is now the highest in the world. The only site available is in canyon where the river runs 100 feet deep at low water and over l50 feet in time of flood.
 For two years exploration has gone forward under direction of Hugh Coo per, a New York engineer. The syn dicatc behind the proposition wanted to know the character of the river bottom before making the large in vcstment necessary for such devel- opment
 Even at low water the current is so swift that 1t was impossible to make borings which would disclose the character of the rock beneath. The condition presented dnsquc engineer ing problems. Being unable to make soundings from the surface, the eX- ploration was carried on from the un- der side. \ shaft was sunk on one side of the river to a depth of NO feet, or % feet below the river bed From this shaft tunnel was driven under the river for a length of l5C feet. Using the tunnel as a drilling chamber. diamond drill borings were made up through the river bed into the territory underneath the proposed dam
 According to Spokane engineers who are familiar with the work, this exploration was rewarded with assur- ance that the rock at this point is perfectly sound and capable of sup porting the great weight of such a dam as is proposed. Eighteen hum drcd feet of diamond drill borings were made without disclosing any Assures or faults.

interest in the party was that it might again become the instrument of the will of the whole people and not merely of class.
 The result of the election for presi- dent of the senate and speaker of the house, as we interpret It, is to seal the verdict of the people as express ed at the polls. The expression of the election was one of a revulsion from condition and the legislature will found its record on solid ground if it regards it in this light. We be- lieve that Arizona expects of the leg islature more of readjustment than a program of new legislation, and that the laws which it passes shall be for the purpose of effecting efficient State administration by the elimina- ton of opportunities for building up a political machine by the use of pat ronage and extravaganza. - Tucson Star

BOOMING PRICES HIT THE SHEEP
 INDUSTRY
WOOL AT 35 CENTS A POUND ESTABLISHES A REM ARK ABL E SITUA- TON TO ARISE.

C. r.. Burton and other sheep grow CTS who were in the city last week from the desert Winter feeding grounds. stated that an astounding market situation for wool had uncx- pcctcdly arisen, in which d price of B cents per pound had been offered and refused. Said Mir Burton:
 There arc dozen buyers in the field. and each ono is working indc- pcndcntly of the other in offering the above price and to close deliveries for the future Such situation is mus ual by the buyers being on the ground to get immediate action with the producer. The custom heretofore has been 10 close deliveries al some hotc. lobby in Prescott or Phoenix, but this year they arc doing business on the open range"
 The prevailing price of wool repre- scnts an advance since last March of over 10 cents a pound, and those Of optimistic inclinations expect 50 cents to rule before the shcaring season be- gins in few months. One Gavapai grower states he has consigned his clip to an Eastern house for which he will receive S30,000, which means that his investment made three years ago has paid 100 cents on the dollar.
 Sharing like prosperity arc the goat men. who are now being offered over co cents per pound for mohair, with delivery on the ground This live stock element also is reported to be holding back, and deals arc in lhc balance. Goat meat also has reached a high-watcr mark. and both indus tries are riding the top wave of prosperity that is bcwildcriug.
