 "BIlions Under Phoenix"
 The newspapers the next day blos- somed out with headlines in compari- son with which those of the war news of today were nothing but ''siX point" announced Billions Under Phoenix!" It transpired though that the miner who was practical joker and was willing to pay for a good joke, had "salted" the black sand with gold dust
 Concerning the concrete fountain basin now in course of construction arrangements were made yesterday to move the iron fence on the west side back few feet so that pople can get into the court house from the street.
 Involves Several Changes
 That is something of a job, for the iron posts are set in concrete founda- tions sunk three feet into the ground. The earth had been removed from around them and when everything is in readiness, the fence, piers and all, will be showed back bodily into trenches which have been dug away from the foundations. This move involves also the removal of all the rose bushes and shrubbery on that side of the walk.
 To the laymen who stand around and watch the operation it appears that it would have been cheaper, less back bIVaking and less time consuming to have erected slightly smaller basin.

As the work proceeds on the concrete the rising artesian water from Joe Drews old well which some time ago burst through the pavement of the main approach to the court house, old timers were here at the time the well was sunk are reminded of stories of it.. Among those whose memories have been stirred, is Mrs. Frank H. Parker, who says 1t was not 40 years ago that Joe Drew went on that seeming goose chase after artesian water, but 32 years ago; that is to say, in the fall of 1886; work was stopped in the, spring of 1887.
 Drew was proceeding under q statute that authorized the payment by boards of supervisors of bonus for the dis covery of artcsian water. He began operations with an intention of going Cown 5000 feet if necessary. After sinking to a great depth which is not now exactly recalled, the boring ma- chinery which was not as effective as that in use now, gave way and the enterprise was abandoned and with it the hope which had never been very lively, except in the breast of MT. Drew of ever finding artesian water in the valley.
 We'll Excites People
 But before that the well gave Phoe- nix more cause for excitement than a stream of water shooting a mile into the air would have caused. A miner one day standing by the boring ma chine, watching samples of the various strata that were being thrown up picked up handful of black sand and

CAPTAIN 0F BOCHE SUBMARINE KNOWN
 ID \ MESA WOMAN

MESA, Aug. 23.-Readers of the Re- publican will recall the dispatches of few days ago, wherein it was stated that the commander of the German submarine operating among the fish ing vessels off the Atlantic coast, was recognized as former commander of a fishing vessel, the "Grampus," sail ing off the coast of Maine.
 Mrs. F.. r. Grover of Mesa is well acquainted with the man, whom she denounces as traitor of the worst kind in that he now is using his knowledge of the fishing grounds as the means by which he is destroying g the lives and property of his former fellow townsmen.
 Haan, the submarine commander, was recognized by a Booth Harbor, Maine, man, a captain of fishing smack which was sunk by the subma- rine. Mrs. Grover who knows both men well. states that Haan was in the employ of the United States govern ment fish hatchery at Booth Harbor, and that his place of employment was close to her home. He was captain of boat named the "Grampus" which was used in the service. At the time he and his family lived at Booth liar bor they were supposed to be Dutch She says that Haan was considered as above the average in intelligence and that he was fully posted on the loca- tion of all the fishing places, the depths of the waters and so on, from Maine south along the Atlantic coast. The man who identified him, was well acquainted both with Haan and his family. A brother of Mrs. Grover also worked in the same hatchery.

 IF PRIMARY RACE

Stating that he is unable financially to place his candidacy before the peo- pie 10 such an extent as would justify him to ask their support, Lamar Cobb, former state engineer, has announced his withdrawal from the race for the Eovernroship in the democratic pri- maries.
 In making his announcement Mr. Cobb seeks solace in the hope that what efforts he has put forth in his own behalf will serve to raise. even in small degree, the standard of polit- ical affairs in Arizona.
 His letter announcing his withdrawal is as follows:
 I desire to announce to the public, and especially to those most loyal friends Who have been supporting me Tn the contest for the democratic nom- nation for governor. that I am not fi- nancially able to place my candidacy before the people in such manner as would warrant asking them to con- tlnue their support. Therefore, in jus tlce 10 them. with assurances of my most sincere appreciation for their ef- forts in my behalf, I withdraw from the contest that they may lend their assistance to such candidate as may have better chance of winning than [.
 T hope that the fight I have been making may have some small influ- ence In elevating the standard of polit lcal affairs in our great state of Ari- Zona.
 Relieving that the interest of the whole people of Arizona will be served pest by the nomination of Sidney P. osborn, intend to cast my vote for him.

The Times is this week authorized
to present the name of Marvin w.
Crowder, of Pennington, as a candi-
date for the nomination for Clerk of
the County Court of st. Francois
county, subject to the action of the
primary election. Mr.. Crowder is
well known throughout this county as
a successful school teacher, in which
profession he has been actively en-
gagged for the past Is years, being 36
years of age, so it will be seen that
since early manhood he has been thus
employed. For the past IL years he
has been teaching in the different
schools in this county, and he has a
most successful record back of him.
He is a native Missourian, coming
here from Washington county, and
has always been an interested and ac-
tive Democrat. He was educated in
the public schools of Washington and
st. Louis counties and in the State
Normal at Cape Girardeau. He is
married and is the father of five chill
drcn, so that he is no Stacker" in any
sense of the word. This is the first
time he has ever sought public office,
and his friends feel that his splendid
qualifications for the performance Of
the duties of County Clerk are deserv-
ing of the earnest consideration of the
Democratic voters who will have the
privilege of selecting their candidate
for this important office.
