Arab Who Brought
Cdn1eLs To State
viii Be HOnOred


An Arab known as Hi jolly,
whose real cognomen was beyond the
pronouncing proves of Arizona in
habitants in 1860, is about to be i'm
mortalized by woman's club at
Quartzsite, in Yuma county, according
to adyices received by the Phoenix
Chamber of Commerce
"Hi jolly brought the first herd
of camels to the Arizona desert and
used them for army transportation.
When the camels were found made
quate for freighting purposes over
the rocky desert formation, Hi jolly
turned prospector and became pict-
uresque character in Arizona's early
history.
The Quartzsite Woman's club
plans to obtain title to a lonely
graveyard located in the desert
wastes and have the school children
of Arizona erect a monument over
the grave of Arizona's first Arabian
resident.
Hi Jolly's' camels were nemesis
to both the native Indians and early
settlers. The runlinent animals are
said to have stampeded herds of
cattle, and were finally hunted down
and killed. None has been seen for
many years.

mary hearing Of the manslaughter
charge against James F. Wilson, en-
gineer sof the Arizona corporation
commission, scheduled here today, was
continued by stipulation until Deem
Der 5, Justice Clarence Ice announced.

death last month when he mistook him
for an auto thief, declared he had not
prepared his defense. The county at

planned by eye-Witnesses, assert that
Campbell was turning his car around

to a doctor, when Wilson rushed into

Government Has A
Vast Coal Reserve

Government biologists, who have
been measuring Wyoming's coal re-
sources, announce that in one field.
the Gillette, there are more than
ID, 100000 tons in workable seams.
That is almost as much coal as has
been mined in the United States to
date from all mines, a total of about
10000 100000 tons.
Over this vast coal domain are
scattered here and there several
country mines and prospect" from
which small quantities Of coal have
been taken for domestic use. Ranchers
mine their own coal from the nearest
outcrops, which usually are bluffs
along some stream where the
weathered coal is kept washed away
by freshets.
All points in the Gillette field are
within so miles of the nearest rail-
road shipping points, railroads run
ming to the north and south of the
field. Railroads have been using this
coal, which is of low sub bituminous
rank, of a class often referred to as
black Ignite, and burns readily.
A considerable part of the coal in
the Gillette field is owned by the
United States and is subject to devel-
opment under government lease.
After the fields now being exploited
have been exhausted, there will be
rush to this huge untapped coal
resource. With talk of diminishing
United States resources general
thing today, knowledge of this vast
tract comes as astonishing informa-
ton.

Will Talk River
At San Francisco

Decision to send milford Winsor
secretary, and Thomas Maddox mem
Der of the Arizona Colorado river
; commission, acting as subcommittee
OF the commission, and G. C. Cragin,
general superintendent of the Salt
River Valley Water Users association,
acting as engineer for the commission,
to San Francisco to confer next Mon
day with subcommittee and engin-
GERS from California and Nevada, was
reached Tuesday by the Arizona COM
mission during its session in Governor
Hunts office.
The purpose of the San Francisco
conference will be to assemble all data
possible on cost of producing power
on the Colorado river and also costs
on distributing the power as we'll as
the probable charge that would be
made in selling the power.
1t is the idea, members of the Ari-
IONA commission said, that data on
the power and water division Ques-
tions may be worked up into form
so that it can be presented to the
river commissions of the three lower
basin states at a conference to be
held as soon as possible upon con-
clusion of the San Francisco meeting.
According to Arizona commission
ers, its subcommittee is working
with the advisory engineers of the
respective states and hope of a tri-
state parley swinging into action
within two weeks was sounded by a
majority of the commissioners.
Work on arranging date and
meeting place for the proposed tri-
state conference will go ahead at
once, it was announced. Either San
Francisco or Reno, Nevada, were
favored by the Arizonans as the
meeting place.
All members of the Arizona COM
mission were present at today's
meeting, with the exception Of H. S.
,McCluskey, who spent the day in
conference at Needles, Calf, with
Congressman F. NJ Davenport Of
New York. who is member of the
irrigation and reclamation committee.

When two meals placed at the

Cornejo had put the stove poker to

for trucks of lesser tonnage and
$3.50 for buses. $9,000,000 an

ten years, after which it is said
there will be no charge.
Thirteen lives We're lost during

ing Mr.. Holland, and Milton H.
Freeman who succeeded him
beth of whom virtually worked
themselves to death. Every
phase of danger-fre, explosions.

stalled engines, collisions, ETC., has
been anticipated and overcome in
actual tests.
There are but four underwater
highways for vehicles in the world
two in England, one in Germany
and one in Scotland. But the long
est of these is but third the
length of the Holland Tunnel. 1t
is built to last a hundred years.
There are two roadways, one
for coming and one for going
traffic. Eeach roadway is 20 feet
wide, carrying a double line of
cars with ease. The clearance or
headroom in each tube is 1914
feet.
If the opening day capacity of
the tunnels was maintained, 49,
100000 vehicles could pass
