Benefits of the North Road.

By the building of a north and south railroad, distance of about 40 miles between Phenix and Prescott, there will be opened up a large market for the produce and fruits of this val ley, and this section of Arizona will be connected with the great Santa Fe system. The people of the northern counties of Arizona, who are now wholly dependent upon California and Kansas, for their grain and bread stuffs, will be able to receive the same at much less cost, from agricultural districts of the Salt river valley, who will receive in exchange from these northern counties, the lumber needed at about one-half the cost they are now obliged to pay.
 Such a railroad will be the means of opening up one of the best mining districts in Arizona. The hundreds of rich mines that are between Pres colt and Phenix, which are now re- maining idle year after year, on ac. count of their being so far removed from a railroad, will be worked, and thousands of tons of rich ore will find its way to market and give employ ment to great number of men.
 The rich districts, like that of the Harqua Hala and Harcouver, will be brought near by rail to the leading centers of Arizona and the east. The Yuma Gold X Silver Mining Company of St. Louis, which has purchased twenty-six full claims and has erected a fifty-ton smelter at its mines, in the Harcouver district.
 It is the intention of the company on the completion of the railroad, tC inaugurate improvements at its mines that will give employment to severa. thousand people. By the completion of this road this valley will find q market near at home for its produce and fruits, and the northern countie: of this territory, which are now pay ing 24 to 3 cents per pound for grair will be able to procure the same hert for one-half the cost they are a present paying.
 Hay, which is costing them th' year round from twenty to thirty dol lars ton, they will be able to buy here for about four to six dollars ton The fruits of this valley can be laiC down in Prescott and other section of northern Arizona for one-half wha it now costs them to procure Califor mia fruit. This valley, which is nov dependent upon California for its lum Der supply, and is paying thirty-fiv dollars a thousand for common lumber, will be able to receive tn, same quality of lumber by this north ern line for about twenty dollars thousand feet.
 Phenix alone consumed 100000 feet of lumber last year. This lin would be to the people of this valle a short line to all the large northern cities of the Mississippi valley and c the eastern states, and would be large ly patronized by the people of this val ley in the summer months, when the seek change from the heat of tn valley to the cool and invigorating at mosphere of the mountains aroun rescott.-Phenix Gazette.

The Mula Xnfed

An ex-school teacher tells story which is ''the truth, the whole truth, and notll- ing but the truth" We will endeavor to give the details of how the mule voted, as near in his own lnguage as possible.
 ''It was customary ," said he, ssfor the teachers in the district to be excused from road duty by vote of the hands present. Some of the boys in the neigh borhood concluded that they would like to see me swing a pick, and throw dirt with shovel. On the morning in uues- tion, one of the hands who had been su. poenaed was away on frolic, and had permission to send his mule as a substi- ute. The boss called the boys together and asked them to vote on my case, as to whether or not to excuse me.
 'Well, the vote was taken and it was tie.
 "One of my friends made the point that the mule was substitute for hand, and therefore had the right of suffrage. The boss decided that it had, and had all the boys to form line in the middle of the road, with the mule in the gang. Then he proclaimed:
 "'Au that are in favor'o of excusing the teacher will step off to the right of the road, and all opposed to the left
 "Well, to the chagrin of the boys that wanted me to work, the mule took to the right. The vote then stood one in my favor. or."-Atlanta Constitution.

 The St. Helena gold mine, which has often been called by the name of the Las Delicias, is now controlled by Cap tain Mix, who has charge in person. |. This is the famous property which P. W. Smith of this city and formerly of the NIlture, went to take charge of after the assignment and closing up of the store here. After retiring from the management Smith settled on his ranch near there where he is at pres ent located. Captain Mix has been interviewed by the Herald man in Fl Paso, and gives the following interest ing account of the mine:
 It is situated on the Sonora river, forty miles south of the ancient capi- tai of Arispe; was extensively worked by the ancients, but was abandoned l5O or POO years ago and remained idle until the late General Pesquiera reopened it. The mine being situated on the Las Delicias hacienda, bore the name of the ranch until American parties purchased it from Pesquiera. It was worked with indifferent success until about two years ago, when Cap tain l. w. Mix took hold of it, and af- ter an expenditure of nearly $50,0OO got it in shape SO that from 100 to POO carloads of ore could be extracted daily. The ore is rich in gold, but carries such high percentage of sil- yer that a gold and silver mill combin- ed have to be employed. They now have substantial pumping and hoist ing works, 60-stamp mill with twen- ty grinding pans and ten settlers. All the compartments of the mine are in good shape and world of rich ore in sight.

FertilizIng Value of Bone.

The fertilizing value of fine bone is much greater than that of coarse bone. The latter may lie in the ground for years while very fine bone is readily decomposed and taken up by plants. The improved condition and increased value of our bone manures is to some extent a result of the action of this station, which in the year 1879 first carried into effect the method of valu- ation based on the mechanical as well as the chemical analysis. Nitrogen in the finest bone is now worth 16A cents per pound, while that in the coarsest bone is valued only at 8t cents, and phosphoric acid is valued at 2 and 4 cents in the two grades respectively Very finely ground bone is, at present, one of the cheapest sources of quickly available nitrogen and phosphoric acid.

LUNA AND LUNAcY.
The Influences of the Various Seasons
 Minds Diseased.

The Influences of the Various Seasons on
 Minds Diseased.
 The old idea that Luna and lunacy have an intimate relation appears to be not wholly without foundation. This, at any rate, is demonstrated by the commission CTS in lunacy for Scotland-that the sea- sons have distinct influence on asylum statistics. The tables of admissions dur ing the years 1SS0-7 show that there are two we'll marked periods-one in which the number rises considerably above the average, and the other in which it falls considerably below. The average monthly number for the eight years was 1899. During the three months of May, June and July the number was 628 above what it would have been if the average num- Der only had been admitted. On the other hand, during the months of Octo- Der, November, December and January the number was 462 below what it would have been if the average number had been admitted. The table shows further that this rise and this fall are preceded by gradual rise and gradual fall, the rise taking place during February, March and April, and the fall taking place dur ing July, August and September.
 1.-The special frequency" the commis- sioners say, with which asylum treat ment is resorted to during the period from the middle of April to the middle of July corresponds with what has been observed by asylum physicians-tha there is tendency to an exacerbation of the mental disorder of patients in asy> lums during the early part of summer; and it is interesting to notice also that the statistics of suicide in the general population show that this occurs most frequently during the same period"
 The greatest number of recoveries take place during June, July and August, and they are fewest during the months of November, January and February. The regularity in the rise and fall of the num- bers is twice interrupted. The rise is in- terrupted by fall in April, and the fall is interrupted by a rise in December. "It is considered probable that these inter- ruptions are due to some causes which recur regularly at these periods, because they are we'll marked in character; and it is suggested that the December rise is occasioned, in part at least, by the an- nual statutory revision of the condition of patients in asylums during that month. This revision is made by medical officers of asylums with view to determine whether they can properly give the cer- tificate of the necessity for further deten- ton in the asylum which is annually re- quired to legalize the continued residence of all patients who have been three years in an asylum. The occurrence of the large number of recoveries during the months of June, July and August is probably due to the large number of ad- missions during May, June and July, as more than 4S per cent. of all the recover ies which take place during the first year of residence occur within three months of the date of admission.

 These posts should not be over four and one-half feet high, or no higher than the top wire; from the top of the corner or end post a brace of good sea- soned timber, straight and not less than four inches in diameter, should run to second post about four inches above the ground and rest in notch, and the same from the top of the second to the third. Set all the posts in a straight line. In the lowest point of hollow a hole one and a half by three feet, and two and half to three feet deep, should be dug. Take good sized heart post with square end, spike plank the size of the hole on the square end, set in the hole and tamp well. On the top of all short hills posts should be set and not driven. The anchor posts in the hollow will prevent the tension of the wire from raising the posts. The set posts will prevent it from settling the line.

Damages by the storm.

The recent storm seems to have been general over the entire territory. News from the outlying sections of this county are accompanied by re- ports of considerable damage by floods. The train due at noon on Saturday did not arrive until o'clock Sunday afternoon, and then only portion of it reached Prescott The engine was left Ning in the bottom of the Verde river, Mpile the last seen pi . water: ear, which was part of the trair, t wns n6ating down the Verde river The cause Of the disaster was the giving way Of the bridge at the crossing of the Verde, just beyond Chino valley. 4 relief engine was 'started out on Saturday, but the bridge across Willow creek, near Point of Rocks, has been undermined and had to be repaired before it could be cross ed. The Atlantic & Pacific folks have offered the use of an engine until the bridges can be repaired. and pass engers, mails and express will be trans ferred until the bridge is rebuilt, which Supt. w. c. Potts says will require four or five days.
 Chas, A. Girdler came up from Ault man last evening, and says the storm has been very disastrous to the Etts mining company.
