It Is proppSterons Go suppose that Arizona is destitute of timber. Even many of the people of the Salt River valley believe that all of Arizona is a barren waste. and the idea that there is as extensive and as valuable a pine forest in Arizona as in Oregon and Washington Is hooted at. In the eastern states the prevalence of the idea that Arizona k trecless is almost universal and it will bc long time before that can be changed. when 50 large a number of our own people are ignorant of the resources of our terri tory in this particular line.
 Another of the resources which,will be opened and in time prove as valua- ble as anything in the territory, is the coal fields in the northeast corner. Several thousand square miles of bitu- minous coal is encountered just north and east of the Painted Desert region. This coal crops out in many places. and at one point has a thickness of twenty-three feet The San Carlos coal lands lie east of the Painted Desert tract. and extend northeast into Colorado and New Mexico. It comes to the surface in many places and as far as now known consists of three strata, the first two each having a thickness of four feet, while the last and lower one is often found fif- teen feet thick. One trouble which has prevented the development of the san Carlos coal measures is the fact that it is covered by the Indian res- eryation. and unless some steps are taken by congress no work can be done in this line. With the reserya- tion thrown open or the coal lands segregated from it. capital would rush in al once, build a railroad from Flag staff, and put coalof an excellent qual- ity into Southern Arizona at reason able prices. .-Ex.

ARrzoLA.

TIE OASIS frequently receives let ters of inquiry about Arizola, and as a general answer in reply to such in- quiries, will say that Arizola is town on the Southern Pacific Railway where the Florence lrrigating Canal crosses the track. Three years ago it was a desert; today there is railway sta tion at which all passenger itrains of the Southern Pacific stop regularly. a telegraph office, post office. an ex- press office, a hotel a store, school house, a printing office, stock yard and chute for shipping cattle, and thrifty and enterprising community, with newspaper, THE OASIS, to speak for them. Three years ago the spot on which Arizola stands was taken up as desert land, for which the govern ment was paid one dollar and twenty five csnts per acre. Today town lots are selling rapidly from one hundred dollars up. aud cultivated land sur rounding the town is worth from forty to sixty dollars an acre and upward. That is what has been done at Arizola in three years. Come and join in the grand work of making Arizola a pros porous city. We have the most fer tile farming land in the United States, and a health giving climate not sur passed in the world

pay. of fcnnpowder Numbered.

It begins 10 look as if the days of gunpowder as a charge for the guns in the British npyy were numbered. Recent experiments just concluded at the government proofbutts, Wool wich, appear to prove the superiority of eordite. \ 6-inch, quick firing gun was loaded with twenty-nine pounds, twelve ounces of the ordinary black gunpowder and yielded velocity of 1890 feet per second. with q pressure strain on the gun of fifteen tons per square inch. The same gun was charged with fourteen pourds. three ounces of cordite, and gave velocity of 2274 feet per second, and q pressure of fifteen and two-tenth tons. More important still, after 25G rounds had been fired, there were no signs of ero- sion. The new substance is mannfac- tured at the government powder mills. Waltham Abbey, and contains 56 per cent. of nitro-glycerine. 37 of gun cot ton, and of mineral jelly. The ye- locity of the shot along the bore of the 6-inch gun was calculated to the millonth of a second from the first moment of being set in motion, Mi- mute as this may appear, Lieut.. H. Watkin, R. A., has invented an in- strument which, if is said will meas ure fractions of time to the ninc-bill- ionth part of a second About fifty of the 6-inch Quick-fring guns have been supplied to the navy, and the au- thorities at the Royal gun factories have begun the manufacture Of larg- CT guns of the same pattern with a velocity of 1900 miles an hour.

Gideonites are scarce here, and the
democracy seems to have full sway.
There are few celored people in the
house-and an occasional shade of night
in the senate, and some eighteen or
twenty republicans with whitewashed
faces. Prominent among the republican
folks is Colonel Elliston, followed by
Satterfeld.
Iwould like to say just here that it is
nothing much to be legislator. There
are many other things which would give
man more distinction. Sometimes l
think that there is thought in this propo-
sition:
In Raleigh we have an asylum, a peni-
