DRAWING Sand on Gardens.

That the texture of heavy soils may
be greatly improved by intermixing
them with sand has long been under
stood. It is not tmuch practiced, how
ever, because even where sand can be
had near the field to be benefited by
it the work CT loading, drawing and
spreading it is enormous in proportion
to the benefit. Most of the advantages
Of making clay soil more mellow and
less retentiye Of water are secured by
running underdrains through the
piece. Yet it is fact that melons
will grow much better in sandy soil
than they can be. made to do on clay,
however. mellow the soil be made. A
half load of sand broughtand dumped
where melon hill is to be, and prop
erlyfertilized, will bring better melons
than can be grown withoutit. Whether.
this will pay is more doubtful. We.
saw it done once, the man making the.
experiment having plenty Of sand

A two cent war revenue stamp will have to be affixed to every bank check after July 1st under penalty of a fine of 200s. In the small towns of Arizona these stamps will be hard to get and as a consequence few checks can be is sued. It may have the effect of causing mining companies and oth CTS to bring their money into the county instead of checking it out in amounts of from one dollar and a half to three dollars.

There IS no great ioy without

There IS no great joy without some great sorrow. For two years past the populist party of Mohave county has been bowed down under the weight of d cankering sorrow. In silence they bore it, though gloom, impenetrable gloom, shut out the piercing rays of the great orb of day and the glories of our great stellar system was to them unrevealed. This great sorrow had come to them just as the breezes was waiting mountainward the smoke of the last political battle. In that hour, when consolation and mlnistering care should have been given those wounded in the fray, the chieftain who had lead them to bat tie filled them with q pensive sor- row by resigning his command and going over to the enemy. More in sorrow than in anger at this 18th hour desertion they laid the formal document away among the archives of the party that has sent history laundering down the dark stair way of time, leaving it's mark on every step, where it has remained ever since undisturbed, with the exception of the edges, which the reaches have rounded off in their own inimitable way. Yesterday that document was recalled from the musty vaults, where it has slumbered in darkness, dispelling as with the witchery of magic the sorrow and darkness that over- spread the otherwise bright future of the party. Today that which was dead is alive. The birds sing more sweetly, the flowers give forth greater perfume and smiles as broad as our own fsir land chase each other over the face of nature. Kean St. Charles is again popu- list.

After the first of July Colorado smelters will advance rates on all smelling ores from fifty cents to three dollars per ton. A higher rate on ores from this county means a great deal to the men who are working low grade properties, as every dollar advance means a cor responding decrease in the revenue. A shelter to put our low grade ores in a more marketable condition would be a godsend to us.

The Graham County Bulletin,

whose democracy is undoubted, does not hold the same opinion of the Courier and Enterprise regard ing the board of control. It refers to the fact that the board of control takes the place of several boards, notably prison commission, insane asylum commission, reform school commission, etc, and effects a cor responding saving to the territory. The blind partisanship of the Courier and other papers of the democracy causes mental strabis- mus.

A big concentrating plant and smelter for some point on the line of the Santa Fe Pacific in Mohave county is the latest on the tapis. It is argued that pyritic smelter and concentrator could handle proftably thousand, of tons of ore that go over the dump with the waste from the mines. If a plant is put in with practical men at the helm 1t should be success.

Fitzhugh Lee tells an amusing story of his candidacy for governor of Virginia. John M. Wise made the remark that Lee would never have received the nomination if his name had been Fitzhugh Smith. Lee replied that he had known a good many men named Smith and would be as proud of that name as the one he bore. By this sally he secured the vote of the numerous Smith family of Virginia. One of the Smiths also wrote letter re- questing him "never to forget John Smith. our first settler, who killed Pocahontas."

designed. searchlights of ~ inches dia-
meter are now being constructed for
naval and commercial service. The firm,
instead Of relying, as was formerly the
custom, on foreign lensmakers, has a
fine lensmaking plant of its own, where
not only are the lenses ground and
polished, but the special glass required
is prepared in a large sweating fur
mace heated with crude oil vaporized
by heated compressed air. The prepar-
ed glass is placed in fire clay molds
of the shape of the rough lens, and the
heat is gradually increased until the
glass "sweats" down between the
halves of the mold and the surplus
oozes out from the sides. The mold is
then placed in an oven and buried in
red-hot sand, and the temperature is
gradually reduced over a period of two
weeks. The glass, when cold, has be-
come thoroughly annealed, and will
stand the severe heating and chilling to
which it is exposed in the searchlights
without risk of breakage.

as that of Cuba during the rainy sea-
son are of the best quality and prop
erly prepared.
As the efficiency Of an army, large or
small, depends on the health of the men
composing it, everything that promotes
their health should be the special care
of the officers, whose duty is not only
to know how to fight and lead, but to
see that their men are in a fit condition
to fight. The morale of an army is also
promoted by the attention given to the
physical condition of its units; and this
is an additional reason why that condi-
tion should be kept up to the highest
possible point.
Those officers who give their best at
tention to this side of their profession
are not less deserving of the approval
of their countrymen than those who
perform some dashing exploit on the
battlefield.

of new type of high power lens mir

for the smallest boat than can float a
