THE GOVERNORS REPORT.


 The Resources, Needs and Prospects ol the
 Territory.
 The report of Governor McCord has been issued by the interior department at Washington. It is not so prOfusely illustrated as former reports by Gov ernor Hughes and Governor Franklin. But most of the illustrations have not heretofore been shown. Only 1000 cop ies will be issued.
 The report contains many interesting facts about the territory
 The manufacture of lumber has grown to be an important industry in Cocenino county. There are at present four saw mills in the county, one each at Flag staff, Greenlaw, Walker and Williams. The output of the mills finds market in Arizona. New Mexico and Southern California.
 Since the first of the year the copper $ mines of the Grand Canyon of the Colo rado have received attention, The development work has proved these properties both rich and extensive, and before the end of the year Governor McCord predicts that an extensive plant will be erected for the working of these ores
 There are along the Little Colorado. in the eastern part of Coconino county, thousands of acres of highly productive land, which, if irrigated, would produce abundant crops. There are witbia this. section many natural reservoir loca-. tions, which could be utilized at:small expense. ..-...-
 Among the enterprises that Governor McCord thinks would further develop the resources of Coconino county, and which would pay. are the following: "A railroad to the Grand Canyon. wool securing mill. fouring mills. furniture factory and l00.room hotel

pursuit of other metals, resulting in rich discoveries. Many high grade veins of copper and gold have been located and are being developed. As soon as reduction works are erected the gold and copper output of the territory will be greatly increased. In copper production Arizona stands third in the United States. The gold lodges in COchise county are remarkable for their great wealth and for their free milling character. Particularly is this true of the gold lodges of the Dos Cabezas dis trict.
 The turquoise district is attracting much attention at present on account of recent finds. Evidence of mining in this section by the Aztecs and Toltecs has been discovered. Several plants in which the cyanide process of extract ing gold and silver gre used have recently been erected in Cochise county and are now in successful operation.
 Stock-raising has received big boom throughout the territory since the pas sage of the Dingley law. In Gila county there is an excellent profit in raising poultry. Chickens sell at from S3 to SC dozen, turkeys at $l and S2 apiece. eggs from l5 cents to 30 cents doZem..
 A great deal of prospecting has been going on during the past year in the counties of Yavapai, Maricopa, Gila. Cochise and Yuma and many new and paying mining properties have been opened.
 The annual wool clip of the territory will amount to 10000. 900 pounds. Gov ernor McCord gives the permanent population of the territory at s7,50o. He makes strong argument for state hood

Among the outdoor sports one of the
most popular is kite flying, varied in
many ways, and very fascinating to all.
When their New Year comes, then does
the sport Of kite-fying give great de-
light to the little boys, big boys-yes,
and to the grown-up boys as well. The
kites are made of very tough paper on
a frame of bamboo. Various shapes are
aade-round, oblong, oval, but. gen.
orally rectangular. Sometimes fantas-
tic shapes. representing birds. beasts,
men, or children, are made. On the more
ordinary shapes are painted or sketched
pictures of various kinds. Pictures Of
beautiful women, of the heroes of an
Gent japanese history, of the many
species of dragon, the ideal monster,
all serve to make the kites attractive.
The humming kite is fayorite one, and
the air is filled with the mu-
steal sounds made by the swarm of
them. These kites are made with thin
piece of bamboo or whalebone stretched
across, placed so as to vibrate in the
wind. The vibration makes a hum
ming noise somewhat like the sound of
an aeolian harp.-Ida Tigner Hcdnett,
In st. Nicholas.

 made friends among all classes by his rul-
 ings, which were always tempered with
 mercy. Judge Bilbro is also very popular
 and has made a good record as a judge.
 The directors of the Chamber of Com

 New Decatur, March 4-A great deal of excitement was created on Second avenue this afternoon when R. H. Adams, superin- tendent of the water works, and J. D. Penney, real estate dealer together with But Gordon, became involved in what looked for time would be a tragedy.
 The trouble came up about some conver- sation that Penney had with Gordon, so Gordon claims, in reference to the notori- ous Wright-Gordon-Ray case of arson, bribery and perjury, Bud Gordon being one of the principal actors. Gordon and Pen ney had had a difficulty about the matter in the morning. Gordon knocked Penney down when the latter called Gordon liar. Later in the afternoon Penney met Gordon on the street and, throwing a pistol in Cor don's face, called him G. d-n liar and a vile name. Gordon's brother started to his assistance, when Adams jerked off his coat and pulling a big knife, ordered the last named to stand back. The trouble ended by Gordon retracting what he had said.
