lower prices than usual this year. The
average offer is SO and $12 for 2-year-

vorably with any in the United States.
The stone is solid and blasts out in
large chunke. The lower story of the
Fleming building will be OF granite from
this quarry. There is an abundance of
stone of all varieties in this vicinity for
the construction of the finest houses,
and the big buildings that are contem-

the Indian villages south of Phoenix,
along the Gila river. Henry Morgan,
the well-known Pima cologist, accom-
panied Mr.. Greenhaw, and talked with
bucks, equaws and papooses as famil-
iarly as d Tucson polition before elec.
ton. Quiet and contentment prevailed,
Each Indian family was busy putting in
it's annual 10 or Is acres OF grain. Plows
and white mans farming are quite gen.
orally employed. Messrs. Greenhaw
and Morgan were entertained with all
the red mans hospitality. His wickiup

but it is, Biblically speaking, better
than stalled OK, for peace reigns there.

miles yet to put down.
