A Well-arranged Programme Successfully
Carried Out.

Carried Out.
The Butte Athletic club, comprising in it's
membership many Of the leading young
men OF the city, rave an exhibition enter
tainment last night at its club room in the
cid skating rink. Almost every member

friends, we're in attendance in expectation
OF witnessing some rare sport, and it can
be said they were not disappointed.
While waiting for Frank Anderson n
Phil Pankey to prepare for a boxing bout,
Amos Mattison and James Green interested
the audience with an exhibition Of bar
work. Many OF the ieats performed were
exceedingly difficult, requiring the exercise
OF great muscular effort and a cool SELF
possession not often seen.
At the conclusion OF these exercises Master
Of Ceremonies Green introduced Frank An
dersCn and Phil Pankey, who were an
nounced to give aglove exhibition. Ander.

and reach over his little ANTAGONIST,

Blind Mems Observations.

There are now stopping in Phenix two blind men, one from rheumatic destruction of the optic nerve fifteen years ago, and one from quack mal practice dating back thirty-fve years. Yet both these unfortunates are far more cheerful than many a man in full possession of all his senses. They are up with current events, have tray eled all over the continent and speak confidently of the places that look at tractive to them and of the cities they were disappointed in. One carries watch and can tell the time of day to minute. He has notches filed on the dial plate at every hour figure and and by feeling the hands ascertains what o'clock it is. The other tells Of the letters he receives from various friends and of their voices, by which alone he recognizes them. Both walk about assisted only by cane, save when some difficult corner must be turned. One contrasts the impatience Of New York with the kindly assist ance always extended on our coast. In New York the self contained popu- lace have to stop, stare and hold a coroner's inquest before they can real ize that man is blind. Even then they pass on with shrug, as though the victim were parricide or crimi- nal of some sort. On the Pacific coast citizens realize the situation instinct lively and, with admirable tact, en- deavor to overlook the misfortune of blindness by lending aid unconscious ly, as though both parties were jog ging through life bis-visually and on equal terms.-Herald.

Centrifugal Pump Irrigation.

About six weeks ago MT. D. D. Hall received centrifugal pump and set it up on 32O-acre tract of land, owned by him two miles south of Tucson, beyond Silver Lake. He had sunk a well to the first water stratum, but it was found with the new pump the wa ter supply would only last 30 minutes at time. He at once commenced sinking and is now, at a depth of about l6 feet, able to supply the pump for 12 out of A hours. The pump will throw 1000 gallons of water a minute and is run by steam. MT. Hall expects to strike an inexhausti- ble supply of water at the stratum of gravel which is not ? greater depth than B feet. When the pump Is SUD- piled with water to run steadily it is estimated that 1t will throw enough water to irrigate AS acres every A hours. AS land only requires irriga- tion once month it will be seen that with water supply this pump will irrigate 1900 acres of land in 30 days
 The cost of the plant is $1400, and the running expenses will not go over three dollars per day. It has been estimated that where person owns his own wood or can buy it at $3 per cord land can be irrigated with one of these centrifugal pumps at cost not to exceed 12 cents per acre. These pumps could not be used on mesa lands as they will not raise the water successfully more than 50 feet. Thous- ands of these pumps are now in oper- ation in California and several are proving to be an unqualified success in the Salt River valley.-Citizen.

Arizona Cattle.

c. M. Bruce, President of the Ari- zona Cattle Growers Association, and manager of the Babacomori Cattle Company of Benson, is ill San Fran. cisco and in an interview by the Ex- aminer said:
 Arizona cattle are in splendid con- dition now," said he to a reporter, but it is very doubtful if any more of them come to California. They are going to Montana, Wyoming and Kansas to go on grass and become fully matured. About 30,O0O have been shipped to Montana and Wyom- ing this spring. It is the first time that any have gone there, and hence forth these Territories will be quite a market for them. It may raise the price of beef considerably here, be- cause the Nevada growers will have no opposition from outside sources, ex. cept from corner of Oregon. About 1000 cattle from Arizona have gone East and North this year instead of to this State. I do not think any more will come here The market has changed. There are now about 100000 cattle iu my Territory. Cat tlemen all feel very hopeful as to the future. Stock is low, but the market is very active, and a great deal of money is changing hands"
 MT. Bruce has been for ten years in Arizona, and is one of the wealthiest cattle-growers there. He is one of the men who followed Geronimo, whose murderous career was finally brought to close by his capture and trans ! portation to Florida.

The Verde Salt Mine

The stockmen in the northern part of the territory are beginning to appre- ciate the salt mine at Camp Verde, and their patronage is enabling a couple of men to open the mine and sell the salt at $350 per ton. It is worth, delivered on the range, $2O per ton, and there seems to be consider able demand. The mine lies in a hillside within two miles of Camp Verde, on the Prescott road, at the foot of Copper canyon. The stratum, which is about eight feet thick, is about eight feet thick, is composed of seemingly pure crystalline salt, salt peter and several undetermined sub stances, which stock eat with as much relish as they eat the pure salt, which stockmen consider equally good. No analysis has been made, so far as could be learned. Probably, upon in vestigation, similar deposit will be found underlying the marshes which give taste and name to the Salt river Phepix Tribune.

The inventor of this system. which Is called the ''port-electric system of trans portation," is John G. Williams. He ex- hibited model sixty feet long, through which a small bar of steel was made to shoot with astonishing rapidity.
 It is intended to use the system at first for the purpose of transporting the mails. About an hour is the time estimated to send a car from New York to Boston, and mails between the two cities may be distributed every time the carriers go out on their rounds. As this would indicate a speed of some two hundred miles an hour, mails could be sent across the con- tinent in fifteen hours.
 In other words, the San Francisco merchants and bankers would find let ters on their desks in the morning that had been mailed the evening before in New York.
 There have been numerous electric systems for rapid transit invented, but thus far none have been practically ap- piled. It remains to be seen if the port electric will work. If so it will revo- lutionize the mail facilities; but whether passengers can be found who are willing to shoot through the air at such a rate IS more serious question.

bitter, acid taste and the common ''ple plant" Usually called rhubarb in the east) turns into something unpleasantly like burdock. Nearly all kinds of tim Der, however, grow remarkably well on such lands.
 The new community will be well sit uated for markets. But little ways west is the noted mining region of the Black Hills, on the eastern border is the Missouri with railroads leading eastward and fourishing cities on it's banks, and the Nebraska railroad traverses the val ley of the Niobrara. There is also abund- ant water power, and timber is more abundant than in sections further east. In short, there are reasons enough why white men are eager for the land, and it's opening will give South Dakota a continuous line of settlements from her populous southeastern section to the Black Hills.

A TREMENDOUS RATE OF SPEED.

Extraordinary Claims Made for NS-S yn-
 vention to Utilize Electricity.
 A new method of using electricity as a motive power has recently been exhib- ited in Boston for which it's friends make great claims. It is based upon that attraction which coil magnet has upon a steel bar, drawing it into its center. Instead of bar, in the apparatus referred to, there is Q steel car. Magnets are placed at brief inter- vals along the line, and the car is sus- pended from single rail so as to go through their centers, the rail returning inside the magnets. The car having been drawn into the center of the first mag net, the current is then cut off automat- ically and the car left free to the infiu- ence of the second magnet. Here the current is again cut, and so on to the end of the route.
 The power to be used in the apparatus will need to be sufficient in the first few magnets to start the car and give it the intended motion. The power of suc- ceeding magnets may be much slighter, for the force required to keep an object in motion is very small compared with the initial force. Only one magnet is in operation at one time, 50 that there is no waste of force whatever. The point at which the current is broken is slightly before the center of the car reaches the center of the magnet. Were the cur rent cut exactly as the car reaches the center there would for an infinitely small time be retarding motion. Indeed, the principle of the break to be applied is based on this fact. The break consists of magnet similar to the others in use, in which the circuit is not cut off after the car has passed through it. Conse- quently the car is pulled back and at last comes to a stop.

 The Sioux must go. So says the United States government, and the three con- missioners-Gen. Crook, William War ner and Charlie Foster-are already on the ground and summoning the chiefs to a "big talk" It is nominally free talk. In contemplation of law the Indians are to be persuaded to sell of their own free will, but all the same it is perfectly un- derstcod in advance just how it is to end. The Sioux are to sell freely, of course, but they are to sell. And the land hun gry borderers understand it just as well as if the wink had been tipped them from Washington, and are already on their way from all directions. Thousands of those disappointed in Oklahoma are al- ready well on their northward journey;

 Altogether some II 900 Indians are included within Agent Johnson's jurisdiction; $500 Pimas at the Gila reservation, 400 Maricopas on Salt river and over ' 900 Papagoes scatter ed from New Mexico to California, south of the Gila river. In looking after so many widely dispersed Indians the agent is compelled to take long Journeys about the desert, but he al ways tries to go wherever any distur- bance is reported between stockmen, miners and Indians. At the agency headquarters an Indian court, con sisting of three Pimas, settles their petty disputes, generally to the satis- faction of all parties. During the school season there are thirteen em- ployees at Sacaton. The boarding school burned last November will probably be rebuilt this year, when ITO or more children of both sexes can be instructed. At the Tucson school eighty-five Pimas are taking 8 three years course, while ninety more are at Albuquerque.
 Agent Johnson considers the In- dians capable of great improvement. The children are willing to attend school, and, during his administration of about fourteen months, he has noticed an increased interest in agri- cultural effort and in the attainment of better modes of living.
 The agency now has an effective system of water works, operated by steam.
 Drunkenness is the great evil to be resisted. The Indian is gregarious in his bibulosity, and crowd wants to fire itself with whiskey altogether. At such times several are generally kill ed, and white people, if isolated, are liable to be attacked and outraged. Agent Johnson thinks the press should endeavor to arouse public opinion that no one would think of supplying alcohol to these poor savages, who can be so much bettered if only that enemy is withheld.-Phenix Herald.
