mineral exposed to view by the devel- opment of a property. His bond on the Sultan had not expired, but he had developed it sufficiently, in his judg- ment, to justify his disseminating the bond, and thus closed the deal. Judge J. J. Hawkins acted as attorney for both Mr. Dougine and the owners of the claims in the transaction. MT. Dougine has a bond on other proper jets in the district and has let contracts to run two tunnels and an incline on the Turnbull mine, and to run one tun- nel and an incline on the Pocohontas. The other properties under bond to him are the Trout, Mormon Elder, Bob Ingersoll and Little Girl, all contigu- ous to the property recently purchased by him. MT. Dougine possesses the fullest confidence of capitalists, and the purchase by him of the above prop critics will mean much to this country. The purchase price of the properties themselves would be insignificant in itself of the amount of money that would be required to put them into successful operation. A water supply would have to be provided for in addi- tion to the amount required for the erection of plant for the reduction of the ores.-Journa1-Mine

SANTA MARIA.

The sale of the Sultan group of mines, in the Santa Maria district, fol- lowing so closely on the heels of the closing of the deal for other properties in the same district, by the Santa Maria Gold company, is transaction of great importance to that district, not so much on account of the magni- tude of the sale, as of the character of the purchaser. J. T. Dougine, who purchased the Sultan property, is one of the best known mining men in the United States, and has the reputation of being one of the most cautious and conservative. He was national judge in the department of mines at the worlds fair, and probably no single
 individual connected with the awards of that exposition was more consulted or whose judgment had greater weight than his in the awarding of diplomas and premiums. Prior to taking up his residence in Chicago, MT. Dougine operated extensively in California, and while he vigorously disclaims being a mining expert, he very modestiy lays some claim to being "mfen expert. In other words, while he does not pretend to be able, from the for nation of the country, to tell the quantity and value of the ores in the depths of the earth, he says he can judge of the commercial value Of the

implements especially constructed for the preparation of the ground and the cultivation of the crop, the use of which materially lessens expense while the more thorough culture enhances the profits to point not realized else where. These tools consist of a sub soil blow, a disc seeder which plants and covers five rows at once, and cul- tivator which attends to an equal number of rows. This leaves for hand work only the thinning out after the stand is set
 Two crops can certainly be grown In this section of Arizona per year. The first planting in January or February maturing in from four to four and a half months, the second planted in June or July will mature in equally good time. This will keep a factory running eight months in the year, in- stead of four months as in the case in other states, except insNew Mexico, where two crops are also possible.
 Factories cost from a quarter to a half million dollars as to capacity. It will require 25,000 acres of ground 70 keep the smaller noted running. That is eight thousand three hundred acres per year. As it is ont profitable to harvest beets from the same land of tener than once in three years, the in termediate years the land can be prof itably used for grain and hay crops.
 The sugar beet is also found to be valuable as a forage crop In Colo radO they have acquired a profitable reputation for sugar mutton" The extraction of the sugar from the roots does not detract from their value as forage so that the residue is profitably used.
 With the conclusion of this years experiments by the government the Arizona farmer will have reliable data as well as safe cultural methods before him, that will enable him to enter in to new industry upon sure basis. that will prove as permanent as profit able.

SUGAR BEETS.
Encouraging Results in Experiment
 With This Vegetable.

A Republican representative accom- panied Prof. A. J. McClatchie for a personal inspection of three of the ex- perimental plats noted in our last is- seue-the one at the Indian school farm, two at the experiment station, and one at Colonel Chirsty's ranch. There was good stand in each plat, due to the careful preparation of the ground prior to seeding, under Prof McClatchie's personal supervision. It is simply thorough culture. After the ground has been p1owed to the depth of eight inches a subsoil blow working to the depth of sixteen inches is run drought the furrows. This admits the lrr1gating waters where most need ed, and gives the root of the beet am- pie working room, insurinn good form and perfect growth, which was hand somely exemplified in the plat at Colo nel Chirsty's, where a portion of the crop, only two-thirds grown, had been harvested to make room for second planting. The product by actual weight showed nine and one-ffth tons to the acre, which is above the average yield of the mature crop at Chino, Cal. where the net profit is s15 per acre.
 With this greater growth in Ari- zona, and higher average percentage ir sugar product, as shown in our tables published last week, the question ol its profitableness seems fully deter. mined.
 The government has supplied Prof McClatchie with a set of improved

GREEN VALLEY DISTRICT.

F. F. Childers, who was here for few weeks getting a water jacket fur mace and attachments ready to send out to the Grand Prize mine near Pay son, left for home last Tuesday. Teams will arrive in a day or two to haul the furnace to the mine. A blower order ed in Chicago is now on the road from Flagstaff.
 The Grand Prize mine is owned by Hugo Richards of Prescott, one-half interest, and E. J. Bonacker and Frank Bissig of Payson, who each hold a ouarter interest MT. Childers has two years working bond on the prop erty and for some time past has been milling the ore and shipping the pro duct in the form of concentrates to Colorado smelting works. Although the concentrates carried high values (the last lot shipped going $1l6 ln gold) the expense of packing to Phoe- nix, the long haul by rail and smeltlng charges, reduced the profits materially. Having investigated the matter care fully MT. Childers is confident that by smelting the ore at the mIne, reducing it to matte, carrying good values Ill gold and copper, he can effect saving of $40 per ton, which of itself IS handsome. profit He expects to have his furnace ready to blow in by July 18th.
 The Grand Prize mine is we'll open ed much of the work having been per formed since MT. Childers took hold of it, A shaft was sunk 100 feet on the vein, and from the bottom Cf the shaft a drift following the ore is in 100 feet, thus laying bare the sixteen inch pay streak for 200 feet, and giving excel lent opportunity for stOping. The ledge is we'll defined and the gold value of the ore very regular, having for some time past averaged $50 per ton MT. Childers undoubtedly has a valuable lease and expects to be able to pay for the mine from the proceeds at the expiration of the two years.
 Holmesly & Co.,, lessees of the Gold en Wonder mine. who have been stead- fly at work since last fall, are doing very we'll, although the mine is now So deep that hoisting by windlass is to1 laborious. Holmesly and partner have been working their ore in the Craig mill and getting fair returns.
 E. J. Bonacker has bought the Ezell
 
 recently produced some very rich ore It is claimed the average value per ton in gold is about $60. Ore from the Ezen mine is now being hauled to the Grand Prize mill to make a test run.
 The Green valley mining district is certain to attract more attention in the near future as it's gold mines possess much merit and it has a country tribu- tary to it rich in copper and silver The development of the district has been retarded by the difficulty and high cost of transportation. The com pletion of the Gila Valley Globe X Northern railroad to Globe will be o1 great advantage to Payson and the whole of Tonto basin as the road be- tween Globe and Payson is fairly good and open the year round. It is ex, pected, therefore, that nearly all the trade of that section will be diverted from Phoenix, Flagstaff and otnel points, to Globe.-Silver Belt.
