The Largest Derrick.

In the Tayntor granite quarry at Barre, Vt, is what is said to be the largest derrick in the world. The dimensions given show a mast of 99 feet height, held by ten guys, each running out about 200 feet to heavy anchorages, and the boom can swing around a circle 142 feet in diameter, being built, like the mast of phe- nix columns, such as are used in structural iron work in buildings. The loads are hoisted by means of 8 steel wire rope 1 IA inches in diame- ter, the boom itself being handled with 8 similar rope of three-quarters of an inch diameter.
 Over mile of steel rope is said to have been used in rigging the der rick, its weight, exclusive of the rope, reaching about 50, pounds. 1t is operated by means of a hoisting engine, and so skillfu1ly are all the parts designed and adjusted that @ pull of 300, 900 pounds at the end of the boom will revo1ve the whole ap- plianoe when the boom is horizontal snd loaded with 37 1-2 tons. The derrick is said to have been tested with a load of 5711-2 tons, although designed for the carrying of only 40, and in case of the ropes being heavy enough the remainder of the appa- ratus has sufficient strength, it is claimed, to carry loads of 80 tons New; York Sun.

Yuma and Its prospects.

Dr. George Martin returned yester- day from Yuma, where he has been for several days. The doctor used to be one of the old time residents of Yuma, and says he finds that burg very much improved The little city IS putting on an air Of prosperity which bodes well for her near future. Many new buildings are in course of construction and the people are Tn good spirits. The Blaisdell orchard, on the heights noar by, will produce d fine crop of early fruits. This suc- cessful experiment. made by Mir. Blaisdell settles the fact that Yuma IS the prime fruit region of Arizona if not the entire Pacific coast.
 The people are all anxiously await ing the taking out of the big canal which, when 1t is complete, means one hundred thousand acres of orchard and alfalfa lands under cultivation and about $5,OOO,OOO of taxable prop- erty added to the Yuma county tax roll. This work will no doubt begin as soon as new executive takes the chair. This is the general opinion of the people of Yuma, who are most interested in this subject.-Tucson Star.

THE greatest fortress Tn the world is Gibralter. The height of the rock is over 1,40O feet, and this stupenduous precipice is pierced by miles cf galleries in the solid stone, port holes for cannon being placed at freqaent intervals. The rock is perfectly impregnable to the shot of an enemy, and, by means of the great elevation, plunging fire can be directed from an enormous height upon hostile fleet. From the water batteries to 6 distance of two thirds up the rock one tier after another of cannon is presented to the enemy. A garrison of from 5000 to 10000 is maintained, with provisions and ammunition tor six months siege. In 1779 the celebrated siege lasted three years. The fortress was successfully de- tended by 1000 British and att tackled by an army of over 40,O00 men, with 1000 pieces of artillery, AZ sail of the line, 10 great floating batteries, and great numbers of smaller boats.

THE WEST WILL BOOM.

Senator Stewart of Nevada, while
claiming that he has not weakened on
silver. still he consents that there is 3
commercial boom not only heading our
way but that it is now on. One has but
to invest and wait TO grow wealthy. The
bears have had their day and the bulls
will be tossing every kind OF value and
every character of security up high. The
senator SAYS that there can be no gen.
eral prosperity in this country that Is
not born and sustained in the west He
is right. The west more than the east,
outside Of Wall street, is feeling the
rush Of renewing life. The west must
boom first. It's products. its commerce
and trade, its railways. in which VIII
follow the values Of its realities Every
thing has been too low in the west. 1t
being the debtor, its life was almost
squeezed out by the creditor east, which
kept on living high If ii didn't grow fat.
As the adverse times struck western
interests and holdings first, so will the
west get again on the high road TO pros
perity first Every stock listed in the
New York markets have gone up, but
not until western wheat and corn and
meats first began to climb. Europe is
buying at a great rate just now, not of
the products of eastern factories, but of
the products of western fields. 1t will
not be two years until thousands will
be lamenting that they did not buy west
ern properties when they were selling
for song. Prices Of realty, every
where in the west, have commenced to
stiffen, especially is this true of Kansas.
Values of every description have been
down to bedrock for four years in this
state. They could go no lower. There
was only one way left for them TO go
and that was UP. They are no longer
they are moving upward,
and booming good times are inevita-

THE BEAUTY OF 1T.

The farmers Of the country should
give their attention closely to few
contrasts The free traders made a
great row over the sugar bounty and
the tin-plate duty. Their contention
was the sheer impossibility that we
should produce our own sugar and Tin.
Already every farmer in America
knows that we shall soon produce ali
the sugar we consum and save
a hundred millions a year for the til
lers of our soil, and that we are also
deep in the tin-plate manufacturing bus
mess, and that long before this presi-
dental term is out we shall produce In
our shops all the tin-plate we want, and
there are from twenty to twenty live
millions a year for American working
men TO earn and distribute. Now, these
are the things that give boom to pros
perity.
