THEY ARE HERE.
Millions Back of Them to Make
Mohave Valleys Blossom with the
Canaigre Root, Soap Root
and the Fibre Plant.

There arrived in Kingman on Wed
nesday'S delayed train, Prof. G. E.
Bailey and Prof. Bernard d. Thorner.
These men are here to examine our val
legs, rivers and mesa lands, with the
purpose in view OF planting the portion
that can be irrigated with the canaigre
root, and to encourage the planting of
the same by those who wish to make
money. They also will enquire into the
natural growth of the soap weed and
fiber plant.
Prof. Thorner is regularly in the
business of handling the canaigre root,
having shipped to Europe during the
last nine months over 500 cars of the
dry root. He is at the head Of the
business in America. His mission is
to secure all the root possible, both by
purchase and by planting. He has in
his employ gathering and planting the
root over I,ooomen, 1000 acres being
cultivated in the Pecos Valley, New
Mexico, alone, while its natural growth
is being gathered from the plains of
Mexico north, to where the cold wave
stops its growth. These natural fields
are being culled of the plant and soon
without cultivation the canaigre root
will be thing of the past, hence those
interested in the business to the extent
of millions of dollars wish to see new
fields opened up where the plant will
thrive, as it takes warm climate for it
to grow to any size. Arizona aud
New Mexico are particularly adopted to
the successful growing of the root 1t
is found that the canaigre root contains
30 per cent of tannic acid in its dry
state, much more than barks or any
other article used in the process of tan
ming. The business is increasing. the
demand is greater than the supply and
it will be more so in the future.
On one acre of ground where
water can be brought on it, 40
tons of the plant can be grown
which will be worth So per ton on
the ground green. The net profit
from an acre is estimated to be
about $3.50, hence it will be seen
that with water it is a paying crop.
1t is these gentlemen's business here
to see if the water can be had either
by artesian wells, dams, springs or
all of them combined. If they are
satisfied with outlook, operations
will be commenced at once to bring
water on the dry soil. Ten thousand
acres will be set out to the root by the
company of which Prof. Thorner is
the head in this country, and help
and advice given to all who may
wish to grow the plant on their own
hook. Prof. @. E. Baily, who &C
companies Prof. Thorner, is an ex-
pert IN the artesian water business
and in engineering reservoirs and
dams. He has been over this section,
in early times with a geological SUI
vey, and is somewhat familiar with
the water courses and deep loamy
soil OF this region. 1t is nothing
Tor not much) against Prof. Baily
that he is correspondent of that
fine dissemination of news, the Inter
Ocean, and a dozen Other of the big
works OF art and brains that issue

known citizens who sought to settle
their difficulties on tie field, and &C
cordlngly went to a point about two

hospital.
MCGOWAN was friend of Casey, who
was hanged by the vig'lantes in 1856 for
toe murder cf James King, and il was
thought that he loaned Casey the re-
vOlver with which the deed was dene.
MCGOWAN was pursued by agents OF
the committee al over the state, but
he managed 10 escape.
After the excitement over the King
murder had died out, McGowan went 10
Washington, and through the influence
of relatives got doorkeeper's position
In congress.
MCGOWAN is now 80 years old and for
some time has been broken H. health.
