UNITY.

My Brother, did you ever conceive how
much was contained in the word unity? A
bringing together Of oil forces that can be
unitedf
Where an individual unites his physical,
mental and spiritual being for the acquire
meut Of some object, the work Is half 40
complished. The reason you and / have nos
been moro successful rs farmers, is because
OF our halfheartedness. Not, perhaps, that
we have mot given our time to our farms, but
because We have not taken an earnest and
intel!;geE. view Of our situations and EN-.
braced the ten thousand opportunities offered
us to better our condition.
If physical strength was Of paramount
importance-the only thing needfui-the
dumb brute that draws your plow would
deserve moro credit than yourself. But u
is prospective intelligence united with mus
Gle that will make successful and prosper
GUS farmer. Where q man ,cilingly makes
Drawn subservieut to brain, he Is bound to
succeed.
And also, what vast difference there is
| in brethren united and brethren divided--ss
II
much as there is between MONDAY and mid
| nieht-as much IS between success and
| failure.
When class Of true men who know they
are not getting their rights as fresmen, lay
aside self, join heart and hand for the ele'
-----..-.-.-:>-- -nf- their RYQcatiop
their success is more than half accomplished
but when men Of the Same craft enter into
combination for their general good in half
hearted way, letting individual interests
swsrve them from the path of duty, we neet
not be surprised to hear Of failures.
Brethren, soiemnly declare unto you
that our only hope as an agricultural people
is to stand together as unit, against tn,
power that wealth gives to capitalistic com
binations.

neAp A letter from our valued corrsspon.
dent, Seaton, dated at Pseolct, Sept. 25,
"wednesday alludes to letter mailed to US
by him the day before. That letter has not
been received by us, and it looks strange
that letter, mailed on a railroad lins, can't
60 twenty miles without getting lost. Who
is to blame, Messrs Pos tmasters or Mail
Agents.
In friend Seaton's letter OF the 26th he
says As or so bales Of cotton has been gin
ned at Pacolet this season. We expect
there was heap Of news, well told, in the
lost letter.

pD" We believe the Ramie plant will
solve the bagging question, after all. 1t can
be grown here, and the length of the fibre is
only limited by the length of the stalk. A
specimen sent to us from New Orleans, some
years ago, was three feet long, beautiful
foss-like and very strong. A rolling ma
chine could be invented to separate the fibre
and prepare it in rough state for bagging.
Twc and three crops year can be cut and,
if we are not mistaken, it is perennial
plant.

HeA- The County Commissioners have had

HA- The County Commissioners have had
a lively time lately. First, their peremp-
tory call for IL days of road duty brought
down upon their heads, courses loud and
deep;" then the effort to change certain
roads got them into scalding water, and
nothing but timely compromise saved them
from being badly burned. Then, and the
worst of all, was an empty treasury. We
heard some awful threats uttered against
them for not keeping a full treasury. We
have come to the deliberate conclusion that
every Board of County Commissioners
should be organized into n National Bank,
with power to issue legal tender notes, re-
deemable out of any surplus funds that may
be on hand after all the debts of the county
real and imaginary--are liquidated to the
sdhsfaction Of erery claiming to be a creditor
Of the county. Then, and not till then, will
the office Of County Commissioner be "bed
of thornless roses, pleasant and profitable.

This Time It's Mica.

Paul Siebert, an old prospector has been hunting over the Maricopa mountains two months or more in search of mica, and he thinks he has found it. He has traced the deposit for 5000 feet and has taken up two full claims, each 1909 feet by 600. The mica occurs in a rock that resembles sandstone and marble both. This must be carefully split open in order not to shatter the isinglass, a mistake made over two years ago by some Tucson parties working in that sec ton.
 Pieces eight inches square have been obtained, clear and solid. Speci- mems sent to Philadelphia have so in terested investors there that 8 party will be out next month to examine the property. They offer $4 per pound for isinglass three inches square, with an increasing scale up to $16 per pound for S-inch sizes.-Phe- nix Herald.
 These claims are probably in the Vi cinity of a very strong vein of mica discovered by Mr. David Moe, last fall, which were located by himself, Ed. o. Smith and others of this place about two months ago. The indications point to the existence of immense bodies of mica of excellent quality that can be mined in large sized sheets. Samples brought to Florence confirm every guarded statement made by the locators, and specimens sent east elicited the most encouraging commendation of dealers in the arti- cle It is believed that a very import ant industry will be developed by these recent discoveries.

The Silver Reef.

Work at the Silver Reef mines is progressing as fast as possible consid- ering the extreme hot weather. The No. 10 Knowles pump is now being put in place to handle the water in the mine. This pump will throw 10000 gallons in ten hours. The new Inger- soil drill is working fine and doing the work in the tunnel in the most expe- ditious manner. A new shaft is be- ing sunk at the mouth of the tunnel, which is developing an immense body of heretofore overlooked rich ore. This shaft will be connected with No. 1 at every level. The tunnel now be- ing run will crosscut all three veins, and connection will also be made with No. l, giving large area of stoping ground which will furnish ore of fair grade for the smelter and concentrat- ing mill now in course of erection, for years.
 Shaft No 1, in the meantime, will be driven down to the 300 and 400 level, and again crosscut, where levels will be run and the lode developed, as it is confidently expected the veins will be concentrated into one inn mense body and no doubt much rich CT than anything yet encountered, as the ore at the deepest workings is changing to sulphates of silver
 Work is being pushed in the shaft on the east end of the Horn Silver claim and levels will be run so soon as the depth of 100 feet is reached, where large bodies of high grade ore are known to exist.

Judge Joseph H. Kibbey.

The welcome news reached Flor ence early Tuesday morning that upon the day previous President Harrison had appointed Joseph H. Kibby, Esqr., of this place, to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Ari- zona, vice W. w. Porter, whose term expired on the 7th instant. MT. Kib- bey was at once sought by his many friends and rendered congratulations with cordiality that attested their sincerity. It was quite generally be- lieved by those at all acquainted with the personal relations existing be- tween the Messrs. Kibbey, father and son, and the president, that his se- lection was a foregone conclusion, but no ostentatious display of the fact was made public.
 Judge Joseph H. Kibbey is thirty six years of age, Is married and has two children. He was born in Wayne County, Indiana, near the Ohio line, and was educated at the Earlham College, of Richmond, Indiana. He was deputy clerk of the Wayne Cir cult Court, under Col. Dudley, for four yeals; was admitted to practice law in 1875 but did not commence un- til two years later, having been ap- pointed Register in Bankruptcy, which position he held until the law was re- pealed. In 1884 he was elected city attorney of Richmond and reelected in 1886. He came to Arizona in May, 1888, as attorney for MT A. L. Pogue and has since represented his inter- ests here. Upon one occasion Mir. Kibbey was the opposing counsel to the present President, and won the suit for which MT. Harrison com plimented his skill, talent and ability.
 MT. Kibbey's father Is a prominent politician in Indiana and has always been consistent republican since that party was organized. He was Judge of the Common Pleas Court at Richmond, Indiana, ill 1865, which office he held until it was abolished in 1873. In August 1873 he was elected Judge of the Circuit Court and remained on the bench till 1885 when he engaged in the practice oi law with his son, MT. Joseph H. Kib. bey. In 1856 he was law partner oi Senator Morton. remaining with him until Mr. Morton was elected Cover nor of Indiana. He enjoys an inti mate and pleasant personal acquaint ance with General Harrison, as well a; his full confidence and esteem.
 Since coming to Arizona Mir. Kib bey has given his whole attention tC the affairs of his client, the Florence canal company, but has firmly de clined other business in his profession that would divert his time and atten ton. He is independent of all clique and rings and will don the ernin' absolutely aloof from all influence that might prevent the free exercis of his judgment on the bench. Tha he will give eminent satisfaction t the people in his exalted position zoe without saying.

 MT. Edwin W. Joy for many years and now pros porous druggist on tho of Stockton and Mar ket streets in San Francisco, probably dream ed of rivaling in wealth the medicine kings of the country. But various rumors having been floating around to the effect that he has struck it big an Examiner reporter detailed to unearth the cause, and after much difficulty unraveled the fol- lowing story:
 It seems that about seven years ago an English physician great student of botany, located for q brief i'll this city. His practice not \. tensive, and yet the few of a general nature that came to him attracted no little attention. His greatest seemed to be in the treatment of liver and kidney disorders. and vitiated biood In fact his ability to cope with these common con- plaints was little short of the marvellous. He seemed almost infalible, and his quiet modest methods and his well-kept secret WAS much a mystery himself. After his departure about a year later Mir Joy determined to fathora the secret, and copying all the prescriptions he had filled for the cratic doctor, he began systematic analysis. In his examination ho discovered running Gll through :he prescriptions for liver and kidney troubles, vitated blood ard stomach disorders . couple of vegetable extracts indigenous to Ca:foI mia, simple and 50 well known under homely every day names to every school boy to entirely dissipate the suspicion that they were the active principles involved. So certain, however, was Mir: Joy that he had discovered the secret that he bodied the new elements in preparation of Sarsa- ra-lla to Gisguise the taste and put it before his customers under the modest name of Joys Yegeta- Ile Sarsaparilla. Immediately the same marvellous stories back of its astonishing effects, and the mystery solved and the talk it has created has already caused it to stepino prominence and orders pour ill daily from nll the coast. People seem to be taking 1t and writing ard talking about il throus shout the State. And thus another Calfornia | industry leaps into existence.-S. F. Examiner.

Mir. A. Scolari, of the Vekol, who has spent week or ten days at Walk CTS ranch, west of Florence, was in town Monday. Mir. and Mrs. George Henshaw, Charles Eastman, and two sons of w. T. Day, all of the Vekol, have been stopping at the ranch.
 MT. Scolari says seven men are being worked on the Great Eastern mine, which is looking splendidly. Mir Donan is the superintendent, and J. Kinds, brother of Howell Kinds, is foreman.
 Plenty of rich smelling ore is com ing out of the Argosy, adjoining the Vekol, and a body of free milling ore has been reached that will warrant the starting of the mill in September or October.
 Messrs. Jos. Cummings and A. Sco- lari are the owners of the Silver Queen mine, south of the Great Eastern They are running a new tunnel over 200 feet below the old one and are now seventy feet in the porphyry dike They are now in decomposed quartz with iron and green stains, and expect to encounter the ore body very soon.

He Fell Furty-Fiye Feet.

Messrs. Charles Pearmau, J. T. Rose and Vim. Taylor, took a contract this week to put a brick curbing in Judge Benson's well and commenced operations Thursday morning. A box was originally placed in the well at water level and six feet of water was below its top. One of the men found it impossible to get the box out without assistance and came up to let MT. Pearman, who is a large and heavy man, go down to try it. The rope on the windlass was not well se- cured and sometimes slipped and just as MT. Pearman started down, the rope gave a sudden turn or two and he, thinking fall inevitable. either let go or lost his hold and fell the entire depth of the we'll, one foot striking outside the box and the other in the water. His companions of course supposed he had been instant ly killed by a fall of forty-five feet. and they were greatly surprised to hear him call for the rope to get out The rope was lowered and, without other assistance, he came up in the usual way with no bones broken, but badly bruised. His most serious in jury was to his back, but it is thought that few days rest will restore him to his usual good condition. It was . very narrow escape and he was saved by the one lucky chance in hundred for instant death.
