city, a small mining town not far from
that of Leadville. In one end of low,
rambling building had been erected a
rude stage, the sides boarded off to
serve as dressing rooms. AT the other
end was a bar where Sanford himself
presided, and with the assistance of an
over-grown, red-headed boy dispensed
liquors. There were a few rooms above,
the only ones in the town strangers
might have for a nights lodging, so
that the building was also termed the
hotel.
Business had been dull owing to the
failure of the Little Giant mine to pan
out, consequently the men of the place
had little money to put into Sanfords
Golfers With proverbial obstinacy
things had been going from bad to
worse with the proprietor, and his late
stage attractions had been succeeded
by others still lower in grade and with
u consequent reduction in popular
prices"
This week, to amuse his twenty or
thirty steady patrons, he had been
able to secure but three people-two
actors and musician who drove ST
lence from the place through the
medium of miserable excuse for pi-
ano. The two first mentioned travelled
as man and wife, and the programme
they presented included such attrac-
tions as the following: Song and dance
by an antiquated black face comedian,
one of the "old school," whose jokes
and dances were received with as
sober faces as those of the artists (?)
themselves After this futile attempt
to arouse the audience from their apa-
thy came singer of the feminine per-
suasion, who had certainly attained
that age at which The French govern
ment pensions her ballet dancers,
Following this came an Irish song
and dance by an artist whose figure
and mannerisms reminded one of our
minstrel friends. However, Sanford
had said there were three actors in the
company, and as he had the reputation
of being a bad man and a dead shot, his
word went unquestioned. One evening
half an hour earlier than that set for
the performance there was trouble be-
hind the scenes. There had been no
money coming from the managers
pockets for two weeks, and Signor and
Nine. De Coma, as the two styled them,
selves, refused to appear. For ten min

A PLUCkY LIEUTENANT.
How Frederick Pearson Upheld the Ho

How Frederick Pearson Upheld the Hon
or OF the St.rs and Stripes.
An anecdote concerning the American
jack and how an American naval officer
upheld the dignity and honor OF the
symbol abroad is worthy of note. But
one American naval officer ever won
the distinction of wearing the Order of
the Bath, and that was Frederick Pear,
son, lately deceased. He wore it az
an ensign for gallant conduct and con,
spicuous bravery in 1864, when the
allied fleet made their attack on the
Japanese forts in the Straits of Shine.
noseki. In order that the United States
flag should be represented, Ensign
Pearson was placed in command of a
small river steamer.
AS she carried no guns it was expect
ed he would remain out of range. But
when the engagement was the hottest
the little steamer bearing the stars and
stripes ran the gauntlet of all the bat
teries, taking from each man-of-war
the wounded and helpless, bearing
them to place of safety. For this he
received the decoration from the queen
of England. In time he was promoted
| to the rank of lieutenant and was on
the China station, The vessel was
served by one particular sampan row
boat, and to designate her the officers
had placed the jack on staff in the
stern sheets. One evening, when Pear
| son and his comrades came down to the
| landing to return on board, the Chinese
| boatman was found crouched in his
sampan crying bitterly, 1t was soon
ascertained that a party of English
naval officers had demanded that he put
them on board their vessel. This he
declined to do, stating that he was en-
gagged by the American man-of-war
and pointed to the jack futtering from
its little staff. One of the officers
jumped on board, threw the flag and
staff contemptuously overheard, kicked
and cuffed the Chinaman, amid the
boots and derisive cries of his boor
companions.
Pearson listened to the story, gave
the man handful of silver as a balm
for the pain he had endured, then qui
city told him to pull alongside thu
American ship. Not word was ex
changed by Pearson to his friends OF
the subject, and no reference to thu
affair was made to the American com
handing officer, but Pearson wrote
note to the English officers detailing
the affair, demanding satisfaction, al
apology, or he would horsewhip the OF
lender, in addition to reporting him t
the English admiral.
The next morning while the crew o
the Yankee vessel were at quarters,
man-of-war's boat dashed alongside, I
lieutenant in full uniform came owe
the gangwsy, inquired for LieuG Pear
son, and then in presence of The off
GERS and ships crew, made publ
and abject apology for the insult tina
had been offered. 1t was the first init
nation that Pearson's commanding OF
fcer had received of the affair.

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock Of the company will have a vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of joss and gain as we'll as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free rom taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be i'm ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nity 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.
 Alter supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most seTjons question, and the smaller bulk the production of 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 50 per ton for sugar beets, would be 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 non-resident of & vigilant watchfulness over the management, and by united ef- | fort staple production may be intro duced in Arizona which will enliven the | source of all permanent prosperity 
 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.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor. | Indians, Mexicans, children may all be in transplanting 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.
