 We understand there arr several gentlemen visiting Flags'nff with a view of lncating her. and going into business. Numerous inquiries have been made for vacant buildings and i, is a fact that in the business district there is not single building for rent. One of these visitors contemplate the construction nf suitable business building on San Francisco street. be- tween Railroad aud Aspen aveuu.s. Any legitimate business enterprise will b. welcomed t0 our beautiful little city. and we hope tO be soon able u announce the location here of at least one new enterprise. We also learn that as soon as the wxterwOrks are completed an important manufacturing tablishment will make it's home iu the Skylight City.

Just where there is any profit in shipping dirty wool 5000 miles to market, paying as much freight on the dirt as on the wool, and then selling it at 9(9llc, is past finding out. If our woolgr"wers would make it & point not to ship a pound of unsecured wool out of the Territory, and to see that what they do send out is thoroughly secured and cleaused. they would not suffrr SO much from want of fair price for their product and what is now taken cut in dockage and freight on same would be added to their profits, which would also be greatly increased by the grade of Territorial wooIs being raised to level with the wools commanding the top prices in our markets. Help to raise the grade of Territorial wools by securing your own wool and then stop paying freight on wool that is half dirt. and the Arizona woolgrow- CTS should have no cause to complain.

Distinguish ed sheep,

On the farm of John P. Ray, at Hemlock, N, Y., lives and browses q very distinguished sheep that never will fulfill SO commonplace destiny as chops or a saddle of mutton, even if prize winners of his blue blood ever met such fate.
 There are nine other sheep almost as distinguished that had the honor of raising on their backs the fleece that made wool that made the cloth that was cut in;O the suit of clothes that Major Mckinley will wear inaugura- tion day.
 Ten fleeces were shorn from the big gest prize-winnrrs in MT. Rays stock. Unwashed they weighed from l5 to 22 pounds 6 ounces each and yielded 38 per cent. clean wool.
 At the head of this flock of wonder ful fleece makers is Don Dudley, No. 520, Standard American MerinO Reg isler, the winner of twenty-tw0 first prizes and eleven flock and sheepstake prizes, amounting to $350. Mr.. Ray is secretary of the New York Sta'e Sheep Breeders Association and the Standard American Mrrino Sheep Breeders Association. He has been breeding sheep thirty-seven years and has exported to Japan, Argentina, Australia and South Africa.

ATTRACTING ATTENTION.

We are daily in receipt of letters and postal cards from parties living in nearly every section of the United States. askIng for information relative to the business and resources of Flag staff.
 It is most gratifying to ns to notice such widespread interest manifested in the Skylight City and we take great pleasure in answering all such commu nications.
 It seems to us most needful at this time that the Board of Trade should be supplied with printed matter that would adequately convey to the parties interested the information they seek. The natural advantages and resources of Flagstaff are so varied and exten- sive that it is impossible to incorporate even moderate account in a letter.
 This evidence of the widespread al- tention that Flagstaff is attracting bodes well for our future. which is more than assured by the construction of the finest system of waterw0rks in the whole Southwest.

NEW MEXICO has for a long time .'enjoyed" the distinction of having the highest death rate--frnm murders
 and assassinations of any State or Territory in the Union. There are
 now in the peni,en,iary at Santa F- three of the most blood.thirsty villains yet unhung--the Borregos, who assas- sinated Sheriff Chayes of Bernalillo county. Several prominent New Mrxicans are interesting themselves in the fate of the prisoners and are putting forth great effort to prevent justice being meted out to the miser- ahle wretches.

A STEAM laundry is necessity for Flagstaff and would be a valuable &C., qusiti0n to our other business enter- prises.

A question Of great importance
~throughou the west involving the pub,
lication OF notices by mining claimants,
wns settled in a decision of Secretary
Francis in the case OF II. w. Gowdy. ct
al, versus the Wesmet Gold Minnie
company. from the Pueblo. Colo, land
district. Thes regulations heretoror,
ave been generally disregurded. To
prevent confusion and misinterpretation
and to enforce the law the following
rule Is substituted for rule 90, OF the Of
fetal regulations:
The claimant is required to post a
copy OF the plat OF such survey in Il con.
spicuous place upon the claim, together
with a notice Of his intention to apply
for a patent thereof. whether or not he
will give the date of posting. name of
claimant, name OF claim. mining distric.
and county, whether or not the location
is OF record, and il 80 where the record
may be found, giving the book and page
thereof, the number OF feet claimed along
the vein and the presumed direction
therefrom. number OF feet claimed on
the lode in each direction or other well
defined place on claim, names of I'LL ud-
joining and conflicting claims, or. If
none exist, the notice shall so state"
This will take effect June | next and
the publications thereafter must con-

WASHlNGTONrS LOVE AFFAIRS.
He Vas Not a Success with Ladies TIL
He Met the Widow Gusts.

In a paper recently read by Chauncey
NJ. Depew in New York, at the reception
of the Original Society Of Colonial
Danes or America, the following ac>
is noted OF Washington's social
life:
Washington was as intensely human as
he was supremacy great. He loved women,
he was fond Of sport, he was a great
hunter, he was he best horseman OF his
age. he delighted in balls and parties
and was a gallant dancer, he travelled
hundreds of miles to witness a trial of
speed between famous horses, and in
common with the universal habit OF his
time took his chances in the lottery.
While never a drunkard or Incorporate
in any way, he was a free liver and a
generous and jovial host He seems to
have been unhappy in his earlier love
scrnpes. He was 6 feet 2 inches high.
straight as an arrow, perfectly formed,
except that he had phenomenally large
hands and feet, and his face was peck.
marked with the smallpox which he
caught at the Barbados. The colonial
girl flirted recklessly with him, but
never seemed to fall in love with him.
he writes to one of his correspondents
a letter from Lord Fairfax's, in which
ne says:
My place OF residence is at present at
MS l0rdship's, where l might, were my
heart disengaged, pass my time very
pleasantly, as there is a very agreeable
young lady lives in the same house, but
as that is only adding fuel to the fire, it
makes me the more uneasy, for by often
n unavoidably being in with
her revives my former passion for your
ioWland beauty, whereas we're l to live
more retired from young women l
might IN some measure alleviate my sor-
rows by burying that which is a trou-
piesome passion in the grave Of obliv-
ion or eternal forgetfulness, for. as l 4 am
very well assured, that is the only anti
dote or remedy that 1 shall be relieved
oy or only recess that can administer
any cure or help to me-"
Who was this 'lowland beauty?" is a
mooteo question which probably can
never De decided. 1t has been discover
~ tnat he paid earnest attention to and
ne neart was deeply touched by Lucy
