General Canto might be tempted to make
a dash for Santiago itself rather than risk
an attack on the strong defenses az VAL
paraiso.
Hence division Of $500 soldiers were
sent to Talcahunno, on Conception bay,
where they could be quickly hurried by
rail to Santiago aud re enforce the weak

would make il impossible for a sudden

vaiparaiso's Good Defcnses.
President Balmaceda still has command
Of the forces about Valparaiso ia person.
He has as his chiefs Of staff Generals Al
zerreca and Barbosa, both able and ex-
perienced soldiers. They have made an
almost impregnable line Of defense about
this city, reaching from Nina del Mar to
Placilla Batteries Of heavy guns have
been placed in advantageous positions an
along the lines, and they are supported by
veteran soldiers.
The Presidents Hacienda Burned.
Word was received here that a raiding
party from the opposition army set fire To
the hacienda OF president-elect Vicuua,
situated about thirty miles from Val
paraiso. All the buildings were destroyed,
and the stores and supplies were taken
away.
The rebel cruiser Esmeralda and O'Hig-
gins have been steaming about Off the en-
trance to the bay all day today, but they
have shown no disposition to come inside
and risk an attack from the torpedo boats
Condell and Lynch or the fire Of the big
guns in the forts. In fact it has come ia
be the general idea now that Valparaiso
win not be bombarded. Leading insur-
gents have too great property interest

Deadly Work OF smokeIess Powder.
Such Of the insurgents as left the regi-
lar army AZ the start Of the rebellion are
armed with the small bore Mannlicher
Rifies, and the ammunition is prepared
with smokeless powder.
This Is the first time this style Of arm
has been used in general warfare Sur
geons have no difficulty in determining
the wounds made by the Mannlicher
rifles on account Of the smallness Of the
bullets, the guns being 3l5 caliber. IN
every case they have found that the pro
jectiles from the rifles make a clean wound
and that they have great penetration. X
Is said that many men in the rear ranks
have been wounded and killed by the
same bullet which had gone through tie
men in front Of them.

PAuLDING, o., Aug. 2s.-In campaign
speech here Senator Sherman said that
unlimited coinage Of silver would rob the
impracticable. The experience Of the
world, the speaker said, bellies the state
ment that free coinage will raise the price
Of silver to the ratio Of gold. In no coun-
try in the world where free coinage exists
is sixteen ounces of silver equal to one
ounce Of gold. Free coinage would not
give more money for our labor and prod
ucts. The farmer would not be benefited
with cheaper dollar It would make
more dollars necessary for his wants.

The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand (1O0,0O0 shares of ten ($10) dollars each.
 One-half of the capital stock will be sold in the Territory 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 saccharine productions, such as sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub scribers will be entitled to draw divi- dend pro rata on payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to 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 all 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 mortgage on the prop erty executed without the approval of 8 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 it's last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar beets, as we'll 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 $lOl ,293, ,s26, or sent away up- wards of one hundred million dollars, which can te retained at home by en- couraging the manufacture of domestic sugar.
 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 l5 per cent.
 It is confdentlybelieved 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., 1891-06-27
@ THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY o

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 loss and gain as well as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms a 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 at the mill, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is 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 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 $5 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 vigilant watchfulnese over the management, and by united eff. fort 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 excellen, 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 b< employed in transplanting the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started il many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharin, products than Arizona, and an effort o, the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.
