@ THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY o

The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand 100000 shares of ten ($10) dollars each.
 One-half of the capital stock will be sold in the Territoryof of Arizona, payable in land adapted to the cultivation of sugar beets, sugarcane sorghum and sac charine products at the market price.
 The other half will be sold for cash, at not less than par, for the purpose of pur- chasing, importing and erecting machin- cry adapted to manufacturing domestic sugar.
 The fifty thousand shares reserved for the farmers can be paid for at any time within five years from the date of the organization in land or it's ssccharine productions, such as sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub- scribers will be entitled to draw divi- dend pro rdta on payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to a full dividend semi-annually.
 It is reasonably expected that the company can declare dividend of 25 per cent per annum on current business, and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have been disposed of and one-half fully paid in cash, the company will be authorized to issue equal to one-half of the capital stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upon ali the property of the company, pay able in twenty years, with interest at the rate of 5 percentum per annum, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of devoting the proceeds to the purchase of land, and for no other purpose; pro- vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor a mortgage on the prop erty executed without the approval of a majority of the shareholders.
 The Government of the United States offers to pay bounty of two cents per pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar, and to admit free of duty, until the first day of July, 1892, all machinery required for it's manu- facture.
 The Territorial Legislature, at its last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar beets, as well as the plant and machin- cry employed in the manufacture of do- mestic sugar, from taxation for ten years.
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo- lasses, candy and confectionery to the value of $10l ,293, 1926, or sent away up- wards of one hundred million dollars, which can be retained at home by en- couraging the manufacture of domestic sugar. @N a
 The average yield of saccharine matter from sugar beets in France is only per cent, in Germany 10 per cent. In California the average yield is 15 per cent.
 It IS confidentlybelieved that the soil and sun of Arizona will yield much larger polarization from sugar beets than France, Germany, California, or any other country and if these premises are correct, the profits will exceed that of any other sugar factory in the United States.

Arizona republican., 1891-08-07

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as well as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be inn ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nifty from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine.
 Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash dt the mill, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is a matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex- tract alkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production oi the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at S5 per ton for sugar beets, would be. a great benefit to the farmers and mer- chants of Arizona.
 The cooperative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked well in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of vigilsnt wstchfulness over the management, and by united ef- fort a staple production may be intro duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the saccharine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc., and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted. erFrr f~g E
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor. Indians, Mexicans, children may all be employed in trsnsplsntins the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re- quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started in many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharine products than Arizona, and an effort on the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.

Played Poker for Cattle.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
The game began at Texarkana. It
was the oldest and one of the biggest
poker games ever played. 1t was early
in the fall last year when four big
ranchmen, who own between them thou
sands of acres and tens of thousands Of
cattle in Texas, met at the terminus Of
the Iron Mountain road.
They were bound for Chicago, where
they intended to sell their cattle, and,
as the wealthiest cattlemen of the great
Southwest often do, they preferred to
make the journey in the caboOse of a
stock train.
The value of the chips was stated in
unusual terms, white standing for one
steer, red chip for five steers, and
blue chip for ten steers.
From TeXarkana to st. Louis the
players luck was about even, although
hundreds of hands were played in that
time. But when they struck tile Alton
and entered the homestretch for Chica-
90 the contest became fiercer, and
about every third hand the betting ran
high.
fayor--the man who had least rocks, by
the way--and when the multiplying
lights on the prairie showed that the
train was nearing Chicago the game
ended.
The other three men had lost every
chip thew had, had borrowed again and
again. with the same result. And when
the winner counted up he found he had
won 10000 head of cattle belonging to
the other three men in the game, or in
dollars close up to S25O,OO0.

A LATE ACQUISITION.

Business Aptitude.

Mr.. Cheney, IA Man of Excellent
Business Aptitude.
Z. ID. Cheney did not locate in Mid
way until this year, when he bought
the business which is now being run
under the firm title of Messrs. Cheney
{: Hawley. His business acumen is
shown by the hold which he has al
ready secured upon the residents of the
district. Mr.. Cheney Is New York
man; was born at LoWYille in 1882.
dor twenty-one years he was agent for
the American Express company at
Black River Falls, Wis. He was town
treasurer. school director and president
of the city council of Black River Falls
for ten years. His energy cannot be
equaled. The firm of MeSSrs. Cheney
81 Hawley. of which he is the moving
spirit, are doing thriving businessmen
ploying four clerks. Mr.. Cheney is a
decided acquisition to the Midway dis
trict. a few more men of the same
caiiber would make things hum in the
direction of Twin City union, or the Sc
lection of Midway for the capitol site.
