THE SUGAR BEET.
Winslow's Soil, With Irrigation
 Would Grow it Proftably.

Phoenix is making extensive prepar- ations to entertain the delegates who will attend the Fifth annual session of the irrigation congress, to be held in that city beginning December 18th and to continue three days. It would not be bad idea for Winslow to send one or more delegates. The congress will be composed of representative men from every section of the arid region. Congress will, in all probability, be memOrialiZed to make annual approp- riations for the purpose of water stor age and the reclamation of arid lands Money expended in this direction cer- tainly would be of far more benefit to the people and the government, than the vast sums which are spent annual ly on the improvement of rivers which never were and never will be naviga- ble. Winslow might as we'll begin now to attract the attention of the outside world to her natural advantages for the storage of water
 There is a crop that could be success fully and proitably grown here, and that is the sugar beet. There is just about alkali enough in the soil sur rounding Winslow to grow this root to perfection. In Germany they have
 to manure their beet land with alkali here nature has done that part of the work. Wherever insufficient quan- | tity has been cultivated to this crop to
 run a sugar mill, the land has advanced
 to from $200 to $500 per acre. The
 crop is certain and can be gathered at
 any time. The longer it stays in the
 ground the better the crop.-WinsloW Mail

HUNTERS HIT BY THEIR GAME.
Instances Where SpOrtsmen Have Received
 Severe Blows from Birds


 Game killed in full fight has a mo- mentum that carries it long way some times. London Field relates several in stances where the birds have hit the sportsman. In one case George Mon ners was shooting in the woods of Long Island when grouse, driven by heaters, came flying along fast and high up. He shot at it, and then, with the other barrel, fired at another bird. Just as he was about lowering his gun after the second shot he received a blow on the head that knocked him sense less. The grouse first hit had tumbled against his head.
 That same afternoon a wheelman riding along near the line of hunters admiring the scenery did not observe a big black cock till it's feathers brushed his head. The black cock had been killed and had nearly hit him in falling. Tine Badmnton volume on shooting tells how the late Charles Leslie was knocked cut at the battery by grouse he had shot. A strong hat probably saved linn from serious injury.
 American hunters have had similar experience. 4 man was riding along in wagon some time ago, according to Forest and Stream, when something hit him on the head with enough force to make him dizzy. An unwoundcd partridge flying through the woods had h1+ h. f,, I. I aside is as much mystery as the fact that cartridges sometimes fly agains house sides and are killed in so doing.

ARIZONA'S GREAT MINES.
An Expert Talks of His Recent Trip
 to the Territory.

The we'll known mining expert John H. Talbot, formerly inspector for the state mining bureau, has returned from a several weeks tour of inspec- tion through the mineral districts of Arizona, says the Denver Post. The purpose of his trip was more especial ly for the expert examination of large property on which sale is now pending, and the result of which de- bends upon this report. MT. Talbot would say nothing regarding this deal, but talked interestingly of the mining districts of the territory generally.
 ''I visited most of the districts in the southern and southwestern parts of the territory said he, ''and it is in this section that the great gold mines are found. Among the points touched were the Hassayampa and Harqua Hala dis tricts. The great mineral zone of gold bearing ores seems to spread over all this section of the territory In this respect the Arizona mineral belt diff fers from that of Colorado. The min eral veins are not centered in one To- cality, but traverse very large area and consequently there are no great individual camps as in the case of Cripple Creek, Leadville and Aspen, but many small camps at considerable distance from each other This isola- tion from one another has tendency to increase the cost of supplies, but also has it's favorable features This vast territory is to a great extent com paratively new territory, not yet care fully prOspected. The formation is granite, schist, porphyry and quartzite The ores are free milling and the veins are true Assures. While the great bodies of ore are of low. grade, running from $S to $20 to the ton, frequent finds of rich streaks are made, and in many cases large nuggets of nearly pure gold are found
 '1 visited the great properties of the section, among them the rich Congress mine, one of the great producers of the country, and which still maintains its enormous output, as it has done fol many years. On the old Vulture, the mine which Senator Tabor recently lost by foreclosure, ten stamps are kept dropping.
 Increased activity is observable iI gold mining throughout all this sec tion and I was told that it had been es- pecially noticeable since election Much new prospecting is being done and a great amount of development ir mines already opened. More particu- larly is this the case around Fools Gulch near Congress, and in all the ter ritory lying between Congress and the
