AN interesting novelty is report
ed from London, dated the 21st
July, on which day the new Amer
lean steel-built steamer Charles W.
Wetmore arrived at Liverpool from
Duluth, Mimi, with a cargo OF
$4,000 bushels of grain direct from
the lakes without beng re-handled.
The route taken was down the
lakes from Duluth, through the
Welland canal, down the ST. Law
renee and across the Atlantic. The
success of the voyage is evidence
that the proposition to establish
direct communication between Eu-
ropoan and other ports and
Chicago IS entirely feasible.

A NEW BOOK ON SURVEYING.

We have received the prospectus
of new text book and handy guide
on civil engineering, by Mr.. Theo.
Graham Gribble, we'll known here
in connection with the street rail-
way system of this city, and other
engineering and surveying work on
Hawaii.
The book is entitled preliminary
Survey and Estimates" which does
not half describe it's objects or it's
contents, which constitute a long
subtitle.
1t is divided into nine chapters,
each devoted to some special branch
of surveyors work, as financial,
estimates for construction and cal
culation of earnings, decription and
uses of all sorts of instruments,
astronomic, geodetic or metric,
tables of ready-calculated compare
tive weights and measures, in fact,

fish Mechanic" as "a library in it.
self for the young surveyor" and
by Prof. A. J. Du Bots. G. S., of Yale
University as shook which every
young engineer would do well to
get and read with care"
Our own surveyor-general, Prof.
Alexander, thinks highly of the
plan and objects of the work, and
will probably introduce it's use into
his department. 1t is a work OF
over 400 pages, and illustrated with
full-page plates and figures in the
text, and we hope to see it soon in
our booksellers windows, and in
our surveyors hands. The book

only for its superior water proof qualities,
but as roof that is light, requiring in
large buildings no heavy truss system, as
is the case with shinge or metal roofs, and
as a roof that can he laid with the least
possible pitch.

Appetite: and health on ootn,

We We Deen WdlIiiiS
weeks for a big shipment OF
Fischer's wrought steel ranges
and have had to lose sales be-
cause they were delyaed in
reaching us. We're all right
nova warehouse full of them
and every size you ask for.
These ranges merit more
than a passing notice, and we
are going to tell you some
thing about them you never
knew before. Housewives
don't like to get new stoves
because there's a something
about them that's unpleasant.
A sort of dread that the dam
pers won't work, or the stove
will not draw, crops out, and
the good wife prefers to suffer
"the ills that are rather than
fly to those they know not OF.
The term range suggests
bricks and mortar, and a
weeks fuss and dirt in placing
in position. Not SO with the
Fischer-there's no bricking
up to do. All there is to it is
to place it where you want and
connect the pipe. Your range
is ready to receive the meats
and in less than the time it
usually takes to cook things,
your food is on the table, more
palatable than it has ever been
before.
You wonder why the Fischer
; range should be better than
) any other stove! Well tell
you. In this country the mat
| ter of fuel is a very large
item of expense. AS you
have turned over a new leaf
and intend economizing where
YOU never thought of before,
you may begin on your coal
and wood. 1t is positive fact
: that the Fischer range uses
,, only about one-half the guam
tity of fuel any other stove
. does. That's one point.
Every one who uses the or
binary stoves knows that once
in so often the fire bricks burn
t out or break. The fire bricks
, in the Fischer range are made
5 of steel, and you couldn't break
t them if you'd let the wheels of
a loaded dray run over them.
e That's another good point.
The ovens, as with every
3 other part, are constructed OF
> wrought steel, and it is an
acknowledged fact that this
: material will absorb the heat
: quicker, more evenly, more in
tensely and retain it much
y longer than one made of cast
iron. The heat is more moist,
consequently the food, when
: prepared, is not so dry and
8 8 void of nutrition, besides be-
ing more palatable. Two or
three good points in one.
The walls of the Fischer
: range are double with asbestos
E between the two sheets OF
e steel, thus making them more
E durable, and prevents the rad

n the kitchen, as does the cast
stove or range. 1t also pro-

torn out when cleaning the
ffues. The joints of the oven
are riveted closely, thus, pre-

ACTING GOVERNOR MURPHY in lis report to the Secretary of the Interior, says:
 Mining has always been the foremost wealth producing in- dustry of Arizona, and dur ing the last year it has been very active. The mineral export in 1891 1t is thought will exceed that of any previous year The Acting Governor estimates the copper output at 30,00O,OOO pounds, the gold output at $l, ,132,- 955, silver at $1,G83,585. During the year very valuable deposits oi superior onyx have been discover cd. The quality is said to be first class. The pine forests of northern and central Arizona cover an area of about 2700 square miles or ap- proximately 1,750,000 acres. The common school system of the Ter ritory Is said to be firmly establish ed, well maintained and will com pare favorably with any in the country"

 The timer has now 8 very good st of tools, but owing to the small place allotted him, he Is unable to properly adjust them, and from the crowded condition of the shops generally, 1t is almost impossible to determine those who have a right therein from those who have not.
 CLOTHING FOR WINTER.
 At the instance of the Prison Phy sician, I woulI suggest that q heavier cloth be provided for winter wear for the conyicts, and if possible of a woolen material. The shooting at present used in the manufacture of shirts and drawers is too light for use except in summer time, and wears out very rapidly.
 The wood work about all the build ings and sheds are in need of painting and repairing generally. 1
 In the interest of economy in the future, and as matter of justice to the people of Yuma county, l would suggest that some means might be devised by which discharged convict could get the benefit of a half-fare ticket for distance of three hundred miles, as the law intended 1t pre- sent the ticket given him (S8.10 for a distance of 1G2 miles, leaves him either at Maricopa in Arizona, or at Banning in California, both undesir- able places for stranger to make a living by his labor, should his inten- tions be ever so good. This condition of affairs induces many to remain ln Yuma, where they are well known, and their presence undesirable on many accounts.
 The net cost per foot for the repair of the prison sewer, after deducting the cost of supplies and tools pur- chased, and which can be utilized by the prison in the future, IS $0SS.6 or total of $46984, which when com pared with the original cost of the same, $165 per foot, is certainly a commendable showing.
 For Q statement in detail of the quantity and cost of all supplies pur- plies purchased and used ct the prison for the quarter, I again refer you to the tabulated statements hereto an- nexed, and l trust the result will be satisfactory.

LATE news from the various mining camps Of the county is very encouraging, From every district reports are good; mines looking well and being worked at a profit The Castle Dome district is at tracting much attention at present, owing to the fact that the old mines are producing ore in paying quantities and that some discover les made lately give promise of proving to be as heavy producers as any yet worked. A gentleman who visited Castle Dome recently was very much pleased with the outlook and is negotiating for some property, but so far without success. Eureka and Silver Dis tricts are doing well and the shi (. ments from these camps are steady and remuneratiye. The Harqua Hala mines are continuing to keep up their reputation as bonanza gold producers and in fact from every district in Yuma county the mining interests are reported fiourishing.

THE Superintendent of the Ter ritorial Prison, presented a very interesting report to the Board of Commissioners at the meeting held this week In discussing the mat ter of discharged prisoners the Sup erintendent points that there is not sufficient money allowed by law for their railroad fares beyond Banning or Maricopa. Neither of these places are desirable localities to secure employment, in con sequence of which discharged con- victs try to avoid taking their de- parture from Yuma. Of course, as the Superintendent says, this is decidedly unpleasant to the people of Yuma and some means should be devised to-regulate this condi- tion of affairs.
 The recommendations made in the report are timely, judicious and we'll worthy of adoption. The administration of the prison is shown to be very economical and that the convicts are well fed, prop erly clad and kept in thorough control.
