HOMEMADE WINDMILL.

across the arms from one to the other
for about five feet inward from the out
er ends of the wheel: oil the boxes and
your mill is ready to work. In Mr..
Moore's mill the sails are of light duck,
and seem TO answer perfectly, but he ex-
presses his preference for boards, and
a similar mill built by one of his neigh
bors had board sails. If metal boxes
for the shaft to run it cannot readily be
had the mill will run well enough in
hardwood boxes.
Such a mill will run at all times and
with a wind from any direction, ex-
,ept square across the box. There is
no way of stopping it without danger of
injury, and when you need no water
you must disconnect your pump. OF
course the mill can be stopped, but
stiff wind would very likely strain the
'ather slender construction, if held
,igid, and it needs to be light in order
to start readily in light breeze.
1t is evident that such a mill as this
,an be made to develop q great deal of
power by increasing the length of the
arms or the width of the sails, or both.
The arms should not be less than eight
feet, making a 16-foot wheel, if any
considerable power is expected. The
width of the sails could be widened q
good deal-how much could, perhaps,
only be told by experiment 1t is
probable that above a certain width
the wind would come over the top of the
box and interfere with the return of the
sails.
The power generated by such wind
mill would always be the difference be-
tween the impact of the wind on the
sails and the resistance of the still air
in the box against their return. An
Sx2O foot mill in stiff wind would be
q very powerful engine-quite suffi-
cient TO do a good deal of irrigating,
but with a wind power a reservoir
would be necessary, as water might
be needed when no wind is blowing.
For ordinary domestic supply such
mill as we saw certainly supplies
abundant power, for we saw it doing
the work.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Seeking Profitable Investment for
Capital.
The agricultural resources of the
Gila valley are both varid and ex-
tensive, comprising an area of
arabic land of which there is at
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 100000 acres which is
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat,
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de-
cidious andcertain classes of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home of
alfalfa, of which from 4 to 5 crops
are grown yearly, yielding from 5
to s tons per acre. 1t is not as
stocky as'that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolificly, the former containing a
very large amount of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties Of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than IN the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and hill lands are
adapted to all of the products of
the temporal zone, and many of
the fruits of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with a sur
prising rapidity. The peaches in
appearance and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some of
the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests now show
that canagrie root, which flourish.
es near Thomas, IN the lower por-
ton of the valley, contains large
er per cent of tannic acid than any
ever sent to the extract works
from either Arizona or New Mexi-
co.
Farming lands can be purchased
at from $50 to 500 per acre, in
cluding Improvements and water
rights.
Uncultivated land without water
right is free to any settler unde.

This class of farms will eventually
become valuable when the canal
facilities have been incr 'ased.

There is at present about 11SI
miles of irrigatlng canals and main
bitches, not including the lateral
bitches which will make the total
several times this amount. This
gives ample water to assure crops
for about $4,000 acres. When the
Enterprise canal is finished it will
water several thousand acres of
rich table and bottom land. 1T
has been estimated that a quarter
of million acres of additional land
could be irrigated if storage dams
were built. This could be done
in several places, notably at the
narrows about Is miles from SAT-
ford where a box canyon exists
through which the river passes.
1t is from this point the Enterprise
company are building their canal.
Graham county covers an area
of 1000 square miles.
The Gila valley is 35 miles from
the narrows to the edge Of the res
ervation, with an average width of
bottom lands of two miles, the dis
tance between the foot hills being
six miles. The valley is fanked
on the north by the Gila mountains
and on the south by the Graham
mountains, Mount Graham being
the highest peak, with an altitude
Of ten thousand feet above sea level.
Although but little prospecting
has been done in either the ella
or Graham mountains, the few
properties which have been de-
veloped show that the ore body
is practically inexhaustable; while
copper predominates, there is both
gold and silver in paying quantities
1t is virgin field for both the
minor and capitalist and one which
promises grand results.
The two principal mining COM
panies are the Detroit, at Morenci,
and the Arizona Copper Company,
at Cllfton. Inc FORMER employees

The output of the Arizona comp,
any is 20 tons of copper per day
and of the Detroit about 10 tons
per day. These two companies
alone pay out for labor about $780,
900 annually.
Experts are at present prospect

A Railroad Above the Clouds.
st. Louis Republic.

There are several places in the
world where the iron horse actually
climbs up mountain sides to spots
which are situated far above the clouds.
In Peru they have built a railway over
one OF the most elevated ribs of the
Andes, and in Switzerland the iron
horse puffs and snorts around and
up the sides of peaks where it was
formerly considered hazardous for a
sure-footed Alpine climber to attempt
to worm his way. The engineers of
the United States have been equally
as enterprising as those OF Europe and
the, Spanish republics of South
America. They have proven that
there is no mountain too broad to be
tunneled or too high for them to send
a locomotive to the summit. The
plateau on the top of Pixies peak was
once thought to be almost as inac-
cessible to human beings as are the
canals of Mars for mundane navigators.
Today all is changed. Since 1891 the
locomotive has made it's regular trips
up the sides of the "Pride of the
Rockies" seemingly doing it with as
much ease as the " regular" makes the
journey from the Union station at
Kirkwood.
At one time Pixies peak "cog" was
the "most elevated" railroad in the
world, its upper terminus being at a
spot Il, LAT feet above the beach line
at Galveston, Tex. Since the Peruvian
railway. mentioned above, was built
the Pixies peak "elevated" takes a
back seat. 1t is still a wonder in en-
cheering, however, being nine miles
(high), and having several grades OF
% per cent. The engines used ON
this queer railroad weigh forty tons.

these impurities. That most dreadful Of
all diseases, consumption, Is disease of
the blood. The Disease shows in the lungs
because Of some inherited or acquired weak.
ness there. If the blood were always pure
and without germs, the disease would neve,
develop and in time weakness itself would
be overcome. Germs and impurities in the
blood float along through the body until
they find weak spot for Judgement. They
stick there and develop and people call the
disease by the name of the organ afflicted.
As matter of fact, the disease is always
disease of the blood and if the blood be
purified, the disease will be cured. That is
a perfectly natural, rational conclusion, en-
dorsed both by common sense and the
highest medical authority. 1t is in accord
ance with these facts that DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery works. The
first thing it does is to put the whole diges-
tive system into perfect order. 1t stimu-
lates the appetite, excites the copious secre-
ton of the digestive fluids and promotes
assimilation. 1t searches out disease germs
wherever they may be, kills them and forces
them out of the system. The Golden
Medical Discovery" has been used with
unvarying success for over 80 years.

as an art, it rFuiresSthe delicate
manipulation, fine perceptions, and
mathematical accuracy, in which
woman excels. In the drug-stores for

Very likely the fact may not have
been put in print before, but the ex-
pertinent of giving instruction in
analytical chemistry in a public school
has been tried, and the results were
very satisfactory. For three successive
years, in the High School at Cam
bridge Massachusetts,, those pupils
who had attained a creditable rank in
the regular work in chemistry were
allowed, as favor, to take course in
analytical chemistry. 1t was under
stood that it was an "extra" study,
and that it must not interfere with
their required lessons in other depart
ments. Every facility for the work
was provided, including the necessary
apparatus and set of reagents for each
pupil, and no charge was made except
for apparatus broken or damaged
The classes numbered from twenty to
thirty members, the majority of whom
were girls. As rule, the girls did
their work better than the boys. They
showed the same neatness and nicely
in manipulation that they do in the
laboratory or the kitchen; they broke
less glassware, split and wasted test
liquids and reagents much less than
the boys; and they were generally
quicker to note the results OF theil
work and to feach correct conclusion

that the daughter of the former Rum.
