DAN DE GUILE.

Who has not heard of Dan de Guile, who, with Mark Twain, made the Virginia City Territorial Enter prise world famous1 Poor Dan has reached the end of his days of ac- tiyity, and now passes from the scene. The Salt Lake Tribune tells the story of his decline and fall as follows:
 William Wright-Dan de Quille- has left, or is about to leave, Vir- ginia City, New, for Iowa, to spend the rest of his life. He has worked on newspaper work in Virginia City for six and thirty years. He was twenty-five years ago the most won derful of reporters. He could de- scribe anything, no matter how the passions of men were wrought up, without giving offense, no matter what the material was, whether of a mine, discovery, a new process or a scandal. His Solar Armor' was a sample of this last. It was the description of device for a man to put on and wear in hot weather to take away all the discomforts of the heat. It was sort of automa. tic air compressor and refrigerator combined, the heat being the mo- tive-power for the apparatus, so that the more intense the heat the more active would be the cooling forces, and thus keep the subject at a normal temperature. The de scription was so minute, so ample and reasonable of detail that the London Times, in a profound arti- cle of over a column. declared that the principle was absolutely without flaw. Dan had the inventor put on his armor and start across Death Valley one awful day in August. He did not return. His friends, after day or two, became alarmed, organized a search party and went to find him. They did. The ther- mometer stood at I20 deg. when they came upon him, but he was dead. He had frozen to death, and an icile twenty inches long was at tached to the end of his nose. He had miscalculated the intensity of the heat-the motive power-had not put Hampers and cutoifs enough in the machine, and. of course, the more the heat, with the more power the reacting agents had worked, with the result that when the searchers got the body back to camp it was frozen absolutely stiff. Poor Dan! He is old now, i'll and poor There is nothing left to show for all the splendid work that be has done. So ill has he been hat for months he has not been able to leave his home. His friends doubt whether he will ever reach his old home alive, but in a note received from him a few days ago, he says he will.
 He has done more for mining than almost any other man. His whole time, almost, was absorbed in it for thirty years, and now, like the old lode over which he lived so long, his life is about exhausted. Poor, great hearted Dan; may he be spared from pain and care for the future, and may his twilight merge into the night without jar.

Several Kansas women threaten to take a hand in Kansas politics this year, Will they run in a dark mare.
 Notwithstanding the sheol weath CT down in PheniI, the office hunters have lively Klondyke gait towards the executive office these days.
 Of ali the billions of dollars the west has produced, there is less than ten millions of tho same in circula- tion today west of the Mississippi.
 That minister of the gospel who killed an editor in church in Ala bama on Wednesday, will go to warmer sphere than the Klondyke.
 The county recorder of Pima gets a leave for sixty days, and will go to the hot springs. Its a cold day when Tucson gets left on climatic argument.
 An excellent omen for a good be- ginning -McCord and a good old time rain. Just keep it up, Govor- nor.
 John w. Darlington is slated for the superintendency of the Yuma penitentiary. No better appoint ment could be made.
 Phenix climate is pretty hot stuff these days, but when Governor Me Cord puts a little republican grease on the disgrunted democratic hay wagon there won't be so much frie. ton.
 PheniI is jammed with people, principally those who are after ter ritorial buns. A brickyard and a shelayah factory will be in order as soon as the governor gets through the appointment Ine.
 Several local railroad men are pulling their freight for Mexico, where new roads are building, and also where American skill in rail road work seems to be preferred.
 They say that Franklin, Wilson and Parish have the Klondyks craze and will pull out for the frigid Yu- kon next winter. They are, politi- cAlly, adapted to tackle the coldest iceberg and should get over the Affidavit range in good shape.
 If General Weyler desires any more timber to make a big "ranika- boo" play he should turn his glass in the direction of the Salt River trocha. There are several boys down there laying on the bank out of a job. There is anything from field general to paymsster, not to mention a restless contingent of small "dogrobbers."
 Senator Clark thinks Wyoming is entitled to a fish station, and this writer believes if the state were raked with fine tooth comb a bet ter man for commissioner in charge could not be found than Editor Slack of the Sun-Leader.-Ex. None of those mugs up there can lay any claim to that job. There are too many Arizona journalistic suckers to pull too since McCord landed the big fish.
 McCord should have the PrOttiest administration of any governor Ari- Eona has ever had. A man who can stand the national slugging our new executive has, and thon bob up with nothing but smiles, is s hard forma- ton indeed. This is a good tip for the light weight roosters down south who will soon no doubt com mence to strut around again.
 Whitelaw Reid, who winters down at PheniI, is entertaining rather lavishly this summer English nO- bility, including the Prince of Wales. This should make the average Phe- nician feel tickled to death that the alfalfa ozone reaches out so profuse- ly as to innoculste European sov- ereigns with the flavor of Salt rivt climate. Mir. Reid should put in . few warm words for the Salinas.

The location Of the reservoirs should
be such that its Lowell is above that OF
the land to which it is to supply water.
Tho deeper the reservoir can be made
the less will be the loss by evaporation
and usually also by leakage but if the
water supplied TO it is too cold to use it
will warm faster in shallow reservoir.
Where the soil is Of a olayoy nature a
good reservoir may be made by first
plowing and removing tho sod to dis.

Rainie Fiber.

The Dundee Courier gives an illus.
trated account of how the ramie fiber Is
worked at Wraysbury, on the Thames,
near London, According to this account,
Mt Wraysbury there is a perfected plant
of ungumming, bleaching, preparing,
combing and spinning. In word at
Wraysbury have been demonstrated
the possibilities Of turning out yarn at
price to compete with flax or mohair
and at about one.third the price Of spun
silk. The constitution of ramie Is so On.
tirely different from hemp, flax and
other textile plants that the fiber must
be treated by wholly different method
1t cannot be spun on cotton machinery.
On wool, fax and silk waste machinery
it works fairly we'll. A special plant
however, is necessary to treat the fiber
economically and TO enable cheap yarn
TO be produced that will permit manu-.
facturers to buy 1t either for its strength
or for its luster Now, If it Is proved
that machinery has been successfully
introduced for the treatment of ramie
stems freshly cut there will undoubted-
ly DO n more wide cultivation of the
plant.
There is practically no limit to the
goods that can be manufactured from
ramie. Its strength renders it suitable
it is claimed, for ropes, Irvine, machine
bands, betting or sailcloth and fishing
lines and nets and for many of such
purposes its diminished bulk and weight
render it specially suitable. 1t can, it
is ayerred, be converted into cloth
similar to cotton and it vies with fax
rs the basis for damask tablecloths and
the like. 1t will mix with silk, wool
and even cotton, adding strength by the
alliance. The waste can DO utilized for
paper making of high class Its alb
sorbent and antiseptio qualities, it is
claimed. render it specially suitable for
medical purposes.
