THE MAYOR'S

ANNUAL TALL

Mfssaga Submitted at the last jRejr-nla- r

Meetinp; of tlie CityCouncil.

Tlie Followingr was the Message De-

livered by the Mayor at theMeetiuir Mouday Nijrht.

Prescott, Ariz., Jan. 11, 1S9S.To the Members of the City Coun-

cil, Prescott, Ariz.Gentlemen: In pursuance with

the requirements of the City Char-ter. I hare the honor to submit foryour consideration tbo followingmessage, covering (1) the adminis-tration of city affairs duringthe year 1S97, and (2) such sugges-tions as I trust will be of value toyou during 1893.

The revenues of the citv during1S97, from all sources, were $21,525,-4- 2,

being an increase of $4,310.61over tho income of 1S9G, while theannual surplur, represented by cashin the city treasury at this date, is

4,237.62, as against S3.781.S6 sur-plus for 1896. As this increase inrevenue and surplus has been cre-ated without the slightest additionto tho tax or license rate, but by amore rigid enforcement of policeand other regulation?, I cannot butcongratulate you and tlie entirecorps of city officials on the show-iu- g

thus presented.While the surplus in tho city

treasury during the last year hasbeen increased, it has been done inthe face of extraordinary expendi-tures. These expenditures of anunusual character have been as fol-lows:

1. That occasioned by a thoroughand comprehensive investigation ofevery available means for increasingthe public water supply at a cost of5940.

2. The purchase and laying ofnew water mains, bvdrauts. etc. at acost of S2.910.10.

3. The installation of publicstreet lighting at a cost of S930.oO.

4. The survey and establishment on the principal streets of per-manent grades, with a view to thefuture improvement of such streets,at a cost of 5203.50.

While this has been done, the dis-

bursements for tho purchase of newequipment for the fire department,of a city safe and other property, inconstructing street crossings eta,have been unusually large.

Although the expenditures setforth above in the items coveringthe investigations for increasing thewater supply any surveys of streetsfor grading purposes, have beenmade solely to arrive at and presentto the public in an intelligent man-ner the cost and advantages of suchprojected works, the manner inwhich both projects have been re-

ceived by the public leaves but little doubt that such improvementswill bo accomplished facts beforethe close of the present year. Bothare urgently required, the. onlyproblem remaining is by whatmeans and the cheapest manner inin which each can be secured.

In additien to the exercise of thesame rigid economy which has char-acterized your official acts during1897, 1 deem it wise to suggest thatduring the present year every effortbe made by you,

1. To permantly Eettle tho question of future water supply ot thecity.

2. To thoroughly investigateand decide on the practicability ofa public sewerage system, and

6. To inaugurate an intelligentsystem of street grading, which isgreatly needed, and wmcn delayconstantly tends to make more coin-plicat- ed

and difficult of settlement.In endeavoring to carry these sug

gestions into effect T would advisethat every effort be made to securetho cc operation and assistance ofour fellow citizens bv inviting theiractive aid and advice. During thelast year they have shown a mostcommendable spirit toward aidingthe city government in advancingany measure that might benefit themunicipality. Everything possibleshould bo done to encourage thisfeeling and to remove tho erroneousbut too prevalent idea that, onceelected, the duties and obligationsof the voter ceases toward publicofficials, and instead everv citizenshould be made to feel that such of--1

ficials constitute merely the machin-ery to carry into effect'tue policiesmost advantageous to all, aud in theshaping of which policies tho bestresults can only be secured by everycitizen taking a vigilant and activointerest in publio affairs no matterhow seemingly small such affairsmay be.

"With a view to promoting moregeneral and universal interest in thecity's political well-bein- g, not theleast accomplished during the year1S97, were the amendments securedby legislative enactment to the citycharter, which provide:

1. For granting tho right of sui- -frage to all taxpavers without regard to sex.

2. For making all officersve instead of appointive, as

previouslv been the case, aud3. For requiring any ordinance

or act of the city council to bo submitted for ratification or rejection

on duties o; mayorover year ago, am

Very respectfullv,Wx. O. O'Neill,

Aurora BoreaMa It Appears la the..North. Characteristic of tho

"A. P. Smith reports that when heandhis companions wore on thoirway out from Dawson, they wituessed the most beautiful sight heever saw in tno Heavens. It was inNovember, aud he said that the sunwould barely show itself above thehorizon till it would again retreatbelow it and ramain hidden for twenty--

one or twenty-tw-o hours. Day,including twilight, would last onlyabout three or four hours. In theearly morning hours, on severalnights, ho said, most brilliant 1 ight,of various hues, occurred in theheavens. He said he could describeit only as having the appearance ofan immense umbrella, with ita tau-ter directly overhead and ita sidesextending down in streams of lightto within a short distance of thehorizon. 1 ho outer edges of it werenot even, but appeared just liko thoribs of au umbrella with the slightlycurving edge ot tne cioin Deiweenthem, only that the entire thing wascomposed of streaks of light. Atfirst thev went unable to account for

jit, but its repetition on several days,jusr, ueiore ine oreas oi uay, nnauyconvinced them that tho singularlybeautiful phenomenon was uoneother than the Aurora Boreal is, orwhat is known as northern lights.Mr. Smith said he had frequentlyseen this phenomenon at his oldIndiana notno, out seeing only asmall portion of it, there was nocomparison to it as witnessed nearthe Arctic Circle, whore they were atthe time.

Speaking of the native dogs usedin transportation in that country, hesays that they do not know anythingbut work. That they have none ofthe instincts or nature of domesticanimal found in lower latitudes andhave no special affection for theirmaster or owner more than for anentiro stranger. They are gooduatured and work well, out arefriendly to every one. They have tobe coustantlv chained up, though,to proveut them from running away,as he says thoy are smart enough torealize tnat their lot is to andtry to eecapo ft whenever opportunity presf nts itelf.

Indiana Consent To A Railroad Rightof Way

As the latv recently passed bycourre?s irivinj; the richtof way tothe Gila Valley, Globe and Northern railroad lo cross the San Carlos reservation, provided that theconsent of the Indians to the prop-ositions must be obtained bigconference was held at San Carloson February 8. Although some ofthe chiefs had previously been op-posed to the railroad being built, atthis meeting after the law of con-gress was read and explained tothem it was found that the Indianswere practically unaLimous in favorof giving their consent for the build-ing of the road through their do-main to Globe, the matter of con-sent in favor of tho railroad com-pany on the amount to be paid tothe Indians being discussed by theagent.

The principal chiefs aud tho rep-resentatives of the railroad agreedupon the amount which the railroadwill have to pay. It will be between$7,000 aud nO.UOO to the Indians asa tribe, with additional payment foranv damage done to cultivatedlands, ditches, fences and roads. OnMonday night loOO Indians werefeasted by the railroad people, anda grand Apache Iadian dance waskept up all night.

Wordon, convicted of wreckingmail train bearing a guard of UnitedStates soldiers near Sacramentoduring the great railroad strike in1894, and in whoso behalf the su-

preme court of the United Statesdeclined to take favorable action onhis plea fer a new trial, has con-fessed bis crime to Governor Budd,with view to recoiving commu-tation of the dea'h sentence fromthe executive of the state.

Worden's confession covers 3,700words and gives the full details olcrime, telling that he with severalothers had been ordered by com-mittee of strikers to remove therails near tho Yolo bridge for thepurpose of wreckijg the train car-

rying troops. He gives the namesof his accomplices aud makesknown many details of the work ofthe strikers heretofore unknown tothe geueral publio.

Popularprices of admission prevail duringtho Zamloch engagement and theDako will undoubtedly be taxed to.its capacity Tuesday night. Piof.Zamloch ha) been receiving unlim-ited praise from press and publicwhere ever he bfs played thisseason. The following notice isfrom tho Ventura Democrat, Nov.12th:

A crowded house greeted Zam-loch last evening at Armory hall,aud the entertainment furnished bythis greatest of conjurers aud his

tired comedian audassistant, "Billy," was excellentthroughout. Zamloch in his mar-velous mystifications, is the mostsuccessful operator of his class to-day, Iwirriug noue being au equaiof the famous Herman, who Liscaused wonder among the people ofall countries aud kingdoms.

Zamloch is easy, graceful, cour-teous and humorous his very de-ception practiced with completesuccess. His illusions, to the au-dience, appear outside tro rauge ofpossibility and his exercise of theblack art of necromancy is accom-plished without a pin head's chanceof detection.

He is charming in his manner andan eveuing passed in his presence, isone long to bo remembered. Thopresents given away are numerousand expeusive.

Mr. Allen's attorneys are EugeneB. O'Neill, and District Attorney H.D. Ross and Deputy District Attorney i. W. U bullivan. 1 he papersin case were served on SheriffRuffner this afternoon. SheriffRuffner could not be found by the

looRNAL-MiNE- K representative, butUnder Sheriff Dillon stated that J.E. Morrison, who is associatedwith Mr. Alleu, as counsel for Parker,bad free access to the jail and to hisclient whenever he wanted to go,but just why Mr. Allen was notallowed tho same privilege was notclearly stated, although it may be atthe hearing.

The date for the hearing of theapplication was not set, but will behearti within the next ten days.The proceedings will be watchedwith interest, as the decision willdetermine just how far the authorityof the sheriff may be exercised inhis control of prisoners.

On tho 29th of July last, just sixmonths ago, Governor McCord tookthe oath of office and entered uponthe discharge of his duties.

His enemies both in and out ofhis party predicted that his admin-istration would prove a failure andthat six months would not elapsebefore even his friends wouldbe compelled to acknowledge it. Atthat time the financial standing ofthe territory was at a low ebb and itwas freely predicted It would soonbe at a lower ebb. The public in-stitutions were run down and were,if possible, on a lower plane than tbocredit of the territory. Scarcely hadhe assumed the duties of his omcewhen demand made npon him .mitte tbegs to submit theto enforce a contract by i following report of all monetarypredecessor for the working of f transactions of city for theconvicts at tne prison, con-tract had been declared to be ofbinding force by the supreme courtof the territory! and the appeal tothe supreme court of the UnitedStates had been made in so bunglinga manner that there was little doubtbut that the case would be set asideas soon as reached by that tribunal.Governor McCord at once set him-self to try to secure certain modifications of the contract, which liesucceeded in doing and which madethe contract, in the opinion of allunprejudiced minds, fair one, theenforcement of which would re-dound to tho credit of the territory.

For the last three months theprisoners have been earning about$70 per day by working on the cans!payable in water rights. It is be-lieved these water rights will beworth par, but whether they are ornot they will be worth something,and as it costs the territory nomorn to work the prisoners than itdoes to maintain them in idlenessand as the result of their labor willresult in building a large canal thatwill bring under cultivation manythousands of acres of the finest landsin the territory, the result will bebeneficial to the territory whetherthe water rights are valuable or not.As a result of this labor being per-formed by the prisoners milliondollars worth of taxable propertywill at least be added to therolls.

When Governor McCord assumedcontrol of affairs he found $20,393 ofunpaid debts that bad been contracted by predecessor thatought to have been paid. He foundthe public institutions run down tothe lowest ebb and he found territo-rial warrants selling at 85 cents onthe dollar and the market for themvery poor.

He found an issue ol $3U0.00U ofterritorial bonds on the market andhawked about in every broker's shopfrom St. Louis to Chicago and NewYork and even in London with nobuyers. Governor Franklin made p

to New York at the expense ofthe territory to sell the bonds, butdid not sell them. Secretary Brucemade a trip to New York to sell thebonds, but did not sell them. Treas-urer Cole made a trip to New Yorkat the expense of tho territory tosell the bonds, but did not sell them.Finally the bonds were sent to Lon-don and returned unsold at an ex-

pense of over $lrS00 to the territory.In this attempt to sell the bonds$5,463 was expended.

Soon after Governor McCord camein an offer was made to the loancommission to take this very issue ofbonds at par and accrued interestby responsible parties and the bondswould have been sold had it notbeen for certain vexatious law suitsinstituted by parties who desired toruin the credit of the territory byrepudiating a part of its debts orthe debts of certain counties whichwould have the same result.

The supreme court of the territory has now decided that this veryissue of the bonds is valid and thebonds are substantially sold and thetransfer will soon be made.

The expenses for running the territorial government for the last sixmonths, notwithstanding the $20,393of old debts that came over fromthe Franklin administration, andnotwithstanding the dilapidatedcondition of the public institutions,was several thousand dollars lessthan the prior six mouths. This isthe result of economical businessand honest methods inaugurated byGovernor McCord.

Now, aside from bringing economyand business methods to bear in the
