!. True Story of the Calumet and Heela.

John Harrington was so lucky in the May drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery. Like the substantial, matter-of-fact man that he is, he con- tinues as engineer at the Atlantic Mining Co.'s stamp mill His ticket which was one-tenth of No. 21 ,492, the one that drew the second capital prize of $50,000, was the second that he had bought in The Louisiana State Lottery. His prize was collected for him by the National Bank of Tough ton. It was promptly invested by him in stock of the Calumet X Heela Min ing company.-Houghton (Mich.) Gazette, June IA.

What the Times Is Teaching.

Ii three or four men own ranch, the rule is to place the poorest "sticl" in the lot in charge of it, on the preya- lent presumption, we suppose, that anybody can run a ranch. This Is a mistake which, sooner or latter, they pay for It may do to elect men to the legislature because they are not good for anything else, but the plan will not apply to the selection of men to manage ranches. The fact is, man who can manage a large ranch successfully, can manage about any thing. One of the things that Is the matter with the ranch business is that we do not get enough business into 1t. When 1t becomes understood that 1t takes business man to run ranch successfully, and when ranching gets more and more into the hands of busi- ness men, there will be less complaint of the ranch business. And while on the subject we are reminded of more than one case where young men have been located upon ranches by their lawful dads," who have established strict quarantine against their hope fuls. Of course, the young fellows are failures on the ranch as anywhere else, but the governors decline to raise the quarantine because 1t is the cheapest place they can pas ure.them. Of course these are extreme cases, and rather extrayagantly emphasize our state ment that there is not enough busi- ness in ranching. But 1t is not ex- travagant to say that there are hun dreds of ranchmen who cannot tell what 1t costs them to raise a sheep or a COW, what their annual expense ac- count is or what their income. Ii they want to borrow money they dc not know how much they want, and we have been surprised to find a good many men handling large properties who cannot tell within thousands O. dollars how much they owe. AnC they are not fools by any manner O means. They are as sharp as tacks il many respects, only they have neve, had any business training, or if the, have, do not think it is required in tn
 ranch business. But as an old friend of ours remarked, "We are learning good deal about business. The banks merchants and hard times have taugh
 us some lessons that will do us good &
 long as we live. ."-Texas Stockman.

PERSONS whose business calls them to various towns in Arizona, and who are in position to give a pretty cor rect estimate of the actual condition of affairs, say that the town of Flor ence gives evidence of more substan- tial prosperity than any other place of even double its size. There may be more hustle and superficial actiyi- ty noticeable upon tic streets of other places, but in Florence the actual bus mess transactions and solid evidences of thrift suIpass them all. Our own people, who have been accustomed to the even current of affairs here, may consider it tri.ie dull at times, but g visit to other places not excepting the golden land of the perpetual boom speedily reconciles one to the superior advantages enjoyed here.

MT. Scales, who lives on Bud Gray's ranch, six miles from Tempe, has q horse which has a large swelling on his left jaw, which was supposed to be wen. Last week MT. Scales decided to cut out the wen, but on cutting in to it he discovered hard substance, which on being removed proved to be an oval shaped stone two and a half inches long and one inch in thickness. The stone when broken proved to be a finty formation. The question is how did the stone get there?-Phenix Gazette,

WHEN disinterested person peruscs the democratic newspapers he is deep ly pained to learn that the republi
 cans are 8 set of knaves, disloyal to their country and ready to sacrifice all the peoples interests for the spells of office. When he reads the republi- can newspapers he learns with addi- tional horror that the democrats are but ar organized band of robbers that stop at no crime to ply their nefarious vocation, even though they precipi- tate a revolution. Comparing the two bills of indictment lSe natITally comes to the conclusion that the members of both parties are proper subjects of the restraining influence of the peniten- | tiarv and that there is no good in them. Itis really beyond all reason why such eliminating calumnies are permitted to be uttered through the press, for its tendency is all evil. The calm and impassioned discussion of principles is proper and right, but be- cause one man, or an organized party of men, choose to exercise their un- deniable right to think and believe what their own conscience approves they do not merit the denunciation and abuse hurled upon them by those who believe differently. We do not all view given subject in the same light and the honest belief of every man should be respected by his fellows no matter how greatly it varies from
 their own conception of the matter.

Phenix is now reveling i'll fruit. not only are the fruit stores teeming with every variety, but the streets are lined with wagons peddling huge water melons and musk melons, enormous punches of grapes and peaches whose ruddy sided golden globes tempt the passer by. Huge yellow pears that melt in ones mouth and tart nectarines, the epigrams of the orchard, are almost q drug in the market. Truly this is the paradise of the orchardist and of the fruit lover, and will soon be recog- nized as the fruit producer of the United States.-Phenix Herald.

The recent attempts to ayenge real or fancied wrongs upon the Burling- ton railroad by members of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers through the instrumentality of deadly dynamite, has re-awakened the an- archists to spasmodic activity and they indulge in the most inccndiary language. There is l necessity exist ing for national law to compel all persons hostile to our form of govern mcnt and antagonistic to it's laws to reside somewhere else. They have no right to enjoy the benefits of our free government while plotting against the peace and safety of it's people and teaching contempt for it's laws.

WHILE there can be no doubt of the brilliant future destined for southern Arizona, the progress that time will bring unaided can be anticipated by a little timely effort upon the part of our people in making known the ad- vantages the country possesses among the people of the east to whom we look for the new element of our growth. The plain facts, honestly stated, read like a romance to those whose lives have been spent in the hard struggle for existence amid circumstances that try their faith, weary their hope and wear out their physical strength, and there arc thousands willing to change iheir-Ars-a lot for-the certainty of the comfort, ease and opulence so easily acquired in this marvellous land. A compilation of specific facts taken from actual experience of the farmers in this valley will furnish an array of startling truths sufficient to induce a large influx of good people and the re- elamation of all the available land capable of being irrigated. The ex- pense involved will not be great while the benefits are positive and incalcula- ble. The phenomenal success of south. crn California is due primarily to the persistent efforts of its press to adver. tise its resources and these efforts have been supplemented by millions o descriptive articles in circular ant pamphlet form that have been scat tired broadcast throughout the east Our Phenix neighbors have seen the good fruits of this method of advertis ing their advantages and surely thi
 superb valley that acknowledges Il, equal in the wide world, ought to prof
 by their experience in this line.

As fine white figs as ever were grown are now being raised on Stone aveneu in this city. This goes to prove that the much talked of caliche belt has no deleterious effect upon this class of fruits. The same may be said of grapes. If planted and properly cared for, both trees and vines will bring forth much good fruit. There are no parties in this city, having a spare plot of ground attached to their homes, that cannot raise as many figs as will supply their families if they are so minded. In two years the trees will bear.-Citizen.

For the purpose of raising fine blood ed stock, both horses and cattle, it has been thoroughly demonstrated that there are few spots of earth on the North American continent that will compare with central Arizona. A few eastern cattle men who make busi- ness of handling only the finest strains of stock have discovered this and have established branch breeding and win tering farms ill the Salt river valley. Feed is so cheap here that stOckmen inform us they can afford to ship their blooded stock that they would be both grain and hay during the winter, to this valley and keep them here over winter and the freight and cost of keeping here will be much less than it would cost in the east per head, simply to keep and feed them. and aside from that consideration the stock is in first class condition in the spring, rolling fat, if desirable, and ready for the market. There are no long chilling months in which stock must stabled and cared for no months when 1t is necessary to grain feed them; they have a perpetual green al falfa feed, or as is often the case alfal- ia hay is fed to cattle running on green feed and small quantity is eaten with avidity and with good results. The care of horses and cattle during the winter months amounts to simply nothing, when turned loose in the alfalfa field they take care of them selves.-PheniX Herald.
