In my last report I called attention
to the fact OF the suspension of work on
the part of the Carolina Mining compa-
ny, one of the most extensive works en-
gagged in the phosphate business in this
State. This suspension, as then stated,
was caused by the fact that with the ut
most economy the company could not
/ mine because of the low prices.
| 1t was with the hope of inducing this
! company to resume operations, as we'll
as to prevent others from stopping
| work that led me to recommend tenn
| porary reduction of the States royalty
| to 2j cents per ton until such time rs
| the market should improve and high
er royalty could be paid This recon-
| mendatlOn not being acted upon and
prices getting no better this company
| has permanently gone out of business
! the works have been stripped of all ma
chiney and Sold as we'll rs the drGdgc,

order that it may be seen what II loss
the phosphate industry in this State
has sustained by reason of the discontin-
uance of operations by this company, /
submit the following account of the or
GaniZation and operations Of said com
pany.
CAROLINA MINING COMPANY.
| This company was organized in 1881
| by Il. Brotherhood, n man of fine bust
ness qualifications and peculiarly fitted
for managing such an enterprise, who
induced number of English capitalists
to invest their money IN the business.
They had built the largest phosphate
drcdge in the world. al II cost OF $l1O,
900 and their entire investment in the
business amounted to at least $3.50, 900.

From this it will he seen that instead
of furnishing the bulk of the phosphate
rock imported by the European manu-
facturers OF fertilizers, Us was the case
few years ago, the mines of Algeria
and Florida alone supply more than that
furnished by the South Carolina mines,
to say nothing of that furnished by 9th
er mines in the world If the question
be asked why this falling of in the ..u-
ropean demand for the South Car-!in
river rock, | would say that for .un,
time South Carolina river rock cniovcd
comparatively n monopoly for export,
but since the discovery of phosphate de-
posts i'll Florida, Tennessee, Algeria
and other countries, she no longer en-
joys such II monopoly, and besides the
deposits of most of the above mention

than ours, can be mined and prepared

IErDEs AND HORNS

Last Friday evening five carloads of
 fat cattle were shipped from Tempe
 to California.
 Republican: Glendale John Orme
 shipped six cals of cattle to Los An
 geles Wednesday. By the same train
 Kay Bros. shipped two cars of hogs
 and M. Baugh one car.
 Phoenix Herald: Nineteen carloads
 of, cattle reached this valley from the
 northern portion of the territory last
 Friday evening and this record is being kept up almost daily.
 Citizen: E. s. Newman, of Fl Paso shipped out of this city four more car loads Of cattle. On the lst and Sth of November he will ship one thousand head on both days. These cattle were all bought in the neighborheod of Tucson and represent large sum of money.
 Prospector: Buyers are still numer- ous hereabouts. Some fat cows were sold a few days since for S25.20 per head, but they are said to have been an unusually fine lot. The average run in values is said to be about s20, The steers about year old have been practically sold out of the country and ranchmen now have but their calf and COW herds to draw on.
 Journal Miner; There seems to be quite an activity in stock shipments at present. Two special trains loaded with cattle and hogs passed through Prescott on Wednesday night. Wm. Little, new buyer m this section, yesterday made his first shipment of | about thirty-three cars loads which l be has purchased. The shipment was ! made from Del Rio. Other ship l ments will bc made from Del Rio
 The Phoenix Herald of Tuesday ! says There is considerable excite ment at, Gila Bend today resulting from the arrest of number Of pro. people on the charge of cattle stealing. There has been good deal of that kind of work going on in that country for some time and several arrests have been made in the past but all resulted in the release Of the prisoner. It is now understood that the testimony is very conclusive and convictions are expected. The prison ers are receiving hearing before the Justice of the Peace today and the re- suit will not be known before late this evening or tomorrow morning.
 Phoenix Herald: Mir. ]. II. Johnston, a Kansas City cattle buyer, Is in the ,ity in search of fat cattle for his MT. Johnston reports the of the east badly demoralized )wing to the long drought which has ,tlicted that country. The price of 'attle has gone down materially as hose who have been holding cattle md fattening them for the market lave been compelled to sell at most my price to keep their cattle from lying on their hands for lack of water. ,light rains have fallen within the . last two or three week but the : Irought has been so protracted that ut little benefit has been experienced y the farmers and the cattlemen.

DRESS PARADE.

" Sashes of chiffon and crepe de chine, in
light, dainty %colors, are a pretty feature of
the summer gowns.
Toques all in one color, trimmed to give
a sideway tilt in effect, are the latest note
In millinery in Paris.
Jeweled embroidery is at the zenith of
Its popularity, which fact predicts its
downfall in the near future.
The pinched bodice is certainly a pre-
vailing element Of fashion, and the latest
ia the one which overhangs the belt in the
back as well as the front.
Pure snow white Is in fashion again, and
nothing can be much p~rettier than the
colored straw hats trimmed with white
chiffon, white ostrich feathers or dead
white wings.
Tailor made costumes have a much
shorter coat than those worn last year and
are more closely fitted to the figure, SO 1t
Is an easy matter to bring a last seasons
jacket up to date.
The new silk petticoats of brocade and
light shot silks are from 8 to 31 yards
around, made with one deep flounce from
the knee, trimmed with a lace edge and
rows of insertion between clusters of tuoks.
Lace, chiffon and tulle bows are worn
at the neck, carefully adjusted u held
In place with jeweled scarfpins. Another
fancy for a finish at the neck of a shirt
waist, when linen collars are objection
able, Is a white null scarf, trimmed al
the end with lace and long enough te
wrap twice around the neck aud tie In &
sailor knot.-New York Sun.

Emperor Wilhelm, while visiting
the o Eulenburgs last week, con-
vulsed his host by proposing a
lengthy toast in impromptu rhyme.
Unfortunately the reporter does not
publish the toast; but even coming
from the royal Uranium, it could
hardly surpass the trite philosophy
of the Hibernian hod carrier who
rose to the lofty plane of a Rosetti
or a Riley and remarked:
'"The rich can ride in chaises-
But the poor can walk. BE Jasus!'

MIR. wArTERsoN FLoPS.

Kentucky was n of the first of
the states which the early, scattering
returns of last Tuesday night gave
the public something to go by. 1t
was a certainty this year at least,
that as goes Louisville so goes Ken
lucky. The silver side carried Lou
~isvilIe handsomely, and the conclu-
sion then announced, TO the effect
that Kentucky was redeemed, were
well supported by the news that
came later on.
One of the results of the Ken
lucky election is that, of fighting
the democratic party Henry Waiter
son has had enough. During three
years, Mr.. Watterson's Louisville
Courier Journal has led the attack in
Kentucky on free c~oinage-.it has
been the aggressive gold organ. 1t
has been an uphill fight for the Cou-
rier-Journal; Mr.. Watterson an
nounced two days after the election
that he did not propose longer to
challenge the sentiment that scored
a victory so decisive on Tuesday.
The gifted editor does not admit
that he has changed his opin-
ions respecting free coinage, but he
announces that the Courier-Journa
will hereafter side with the democ-
racy, supporting it when possible
but not opposing it at any time.
"The issue as it was made and has
been fought out" writes Mr.. Wat
t~erson, twas clear and explicit. No
effort was wanting to maintain it.
Nobody could by any possibility be
mistaken about it. We may regret
the verdict against US, but we &C.
cept it. We shall make no further
effort to direct the party course Of
counsels or to share in any of the re.
sponsibilities Of party leadership"
The Courier-Journa takes it pm
ishment as cheerfully as possible
1t entertains "not the least i'll will
toward those who have beaten it
Taking a jaunty view of the situa
ton, it promises to help the Ken
lucky democrats whenever it can
and it steps aside, in these words, It
let the free coinage procession pass
"We go to political annihilatioI
with perfect composure, without
single resentment or regret, having
fought out to the end a profoun
conviction in perfect fairness an
good faith. What the rest ca
stand we can stand. With CHART.
toward all, with malice toward none
we continue stand to do business a
the old stand precisely as if nothin
whatever had happened."-Anacor

CARE OF THe EYES,.

Avoid ''squinting."
Shade the eyes from the full glare OF
sunlight.
When the eyes are weak, sleep all that
is possible.
Keep soap and all patent eye washes out
Of the eyes.
As you value your sight, avoid all quack
eye doctors.
Never read or use the eyes for fine work
during twilight.
Whenever an eye is injured, call in an
experienced oculist at once.
Never expose the eyes needlessly to dust
or flying particles Of any kind.
Have an abundance Of good, steady
light for any work you may have on hand.
Let the light come to your eyes from
one side or from above, not from in front.
Do not work in a poor light, n avoid
a glaring light, as it may be as bad as too
little light.
Do not use a Pickering light for reading
or sewing. Use a lamp with a large burn
er, and use good oil.
When the eyes are hot and heavy, battle
them In cold or tepid water, and do not
confne them too closely to any sort of
work.
Whenever the eyes ache or are easily
~fatiguod, use them as little as possible,
n look up from the work frequently to
rest them.
When reading, hold the head erect and
at a distance from the light, and do not
benz the head over the needlework any
more than is possible.
Avoid poorly printed books, with poor
paper and poor type, n do not read when
riding In the cars, or carriage, nor when
walking nor when lying down, nor when
convalescent from a protracted illness, MOI
when the whole body Is in q weakened
state
