A Cheap Power.

And al the same time a reliabl e
power, are the points to be sought for
in purchasing an engine. With steam
power 4 constant watch on the gauge
is necessary to prevent accidents. and
the expense for engineer is serious
item against economy. The gas or
gasoline engine is by far the cheapest
power, as it will run all day without
attention or fear of accident. and the
cost is about Two cents per hour for
fuel per horse power. Foi intermit-
tent power the economy of gas over
steam is beyo"d comparison. While
these points of superiority are without
question, it ls important in selecting
an engine to get the best; the best in
the long run is the cheapest. Do not
fail to investigate the striking advsn-

II Arizonans want to overcome
the effects of occasional newspaper

the ir way into eastern papers, they

one. Southern Califo mia is a
monumental exam ,l- of the utter

IT is the unqualified opinion of
unbiased mining experts that Gold.
tield will prove to be the richest
mining camp in the territory. Gold
is found anywhere there, in sand,
gravel, clay, rock and conglomerate.
There is.plenty OF it on the surface
and every blow of the pick or the
drill Ii. ds it richer. And yet,
there is no excitement up. there,
no over sanguine enthusiasm, but
the work keeps steadily on, quietly
but surely. The Mammoth is to-
day the b.st paying mins in the

Napa County's exhibit was one
of the best.
Upon entering the Northern and
Central California Building, which
is situated just west of Agricultural
Hall, the Southerner, as we'll as the
Easterner, is surprised by the
variety and quslity of the products.
Az grsins, vegetables, fruits, etc !,
raised in California are shown, and
not least among the eleven counties
represented, is Napa County's dis
play. It occupies a space Of about
l 300 feet at the main entrance of
the building.
Mr. Chef. F. Wood. one Of Napa
County's commissioners, is Superin.
tendent Of the exhibit. He is a
man we'll suited to the position,
heing congenial ami courteous and
able to tell you more good things
in I've minutes about his county
than you ever before dreamed.
Upon first viewing the exhibit
the visitor in impressed by the ex-
cellent showing of the canned fruits,
while the dried is unsurpassed. The
apples, oranges, potatocs, walnuts,
in fact the entire exhibit, is first
class and according to authority. all
of it-from a from s.sevrn pound
potato to a tiny birds egg" was
raised without irrigation. Yet
Napa County is not dry place as
one obs .ryes upon lo,king about.
A fountain renresenting "Jackson's Is
Soda Springs" occupies prominent
snace, rs dnes the samuel Mineral
Water.,,s while at the right of the
entrance to the buil6ing Is a wine
exhibit, representing one of their
largest manufacturing enterprises.
Here a most successful attempt has
heen made by the artificial paint
ing and designing to give an ac-
curate representation of wine
cellar. Not being wholly artificial
it adds great interest to their COL
lection, and seems TO catch the
popular fancy, especially among the
Maine and Kansas people who are
not accustomed to pure, unadul
tcrated wines. In spite of the
many products represented, Napa
County did not forget to minister
every possible way to the comfort
Of it's visitors. and it was in this
connection that cozy little space.
encirclrd by bamboo railing, and
artistically fu rnished, was arranged
for the W w.arv sight-seer.
Besides the portion of exhibit
already mentioned is the mineral
ore. among .whi-h is quicksilver
from Aetna and Napa consolidated.
and gold anil silver from the
Palisade mine, ranging about two
thousand ner ton.
On whole. Nap, Conntv's dis
play is one of which the pe,nle NAV
well feel rond-and probably will
not he surpassed by any county in
the state.

 Atthe silent hour of midnight the dark angel of death descended softly touched her troubled spirit, and bade her rest forevermore.
 Cease from thy labors, sorrows and pain, poor child of earth, and come with me, to your bright home prepared for thee; and rest, sweetly rest, forever.
 She leaves q husband, four children, an aged father, two sis. ters and one brother. She is gone, we know that she will never come to us again. Never more shall we see the dear face, hear the kind and loving voice; by the grace of God we will meet her in that bright home above. We know that she is happy now, safe for ever from the cold, cruel world s sorrow and pain. She YVES a true christain. Surely such faith as hers was rarely seen.
 Though she had many trials and sorrows she never wavered from her trust in God. I do not hesitate to say that she was the best woman I ever knew.
 She was in very bad health for several months and knew that she could not live long. She was will. ing to die, had no fear whatev CT for the future. Her only regret was leaving her children. But "God has cared for me" she said ana 1 know he will not forsake them.
 She wrote the following lin es more than year before her death and requested that they should be printed in tho MoNTIoELLoNIAN. Don't grieve after me dear husband,
 Don't grieve after me l say,
 I have gone to a bright home, so fair,
 Where I will be waiting and watching
