A TREAT IN MINSTRELSY.

Commencing next Friday we have the
well known Mahara's Minstrels, who
come to the opera house for Il limited
engagement. Past promises faithfully
fulfilled assure us that the company is
all that is claimed for it. In looking
over the list of artists we find the
names of the we'll known Billy Young
and Charlie Cass, which is sufficient
guarantee that night of hilarity is to
be expected In connection with the
above we find the names of Leroy
Bland, male soprano, whose voice
has wonderful sweetness of tone and
Il wonderful compass. Rube Brown
whose dancing more than satisfies all
lovers OF terpsichorean art and the
contortionist. Master Hillard Brewer
whose act is all that is claimed for it,
is real novelty. Taking the program
from start to finish it is one that
should command full houses as it is
away from the old style of minstrelsy,
which we have heard for so many
years.

One of the most satisfactory COM
mercial features of 1897 has been the
increased demand abroad for corn.
During the month of December nearly
twice as much corn went to Europe
as in the corresponding month in 1896.
The people of Europe are slowly learn
ing that corn is good for men as well
as beast. The total exports of corn
last year amounted to 1S6.0O0.0tJ
bushels or nearly 7O,OOO,OO0 bushels
more than in any previous year In
the six years preceding 1897 the av-
erage annual expectation of corn was
only $4,000, 900 bushels. 1t is clear
therefore, that the various efforts that
have been made to bring this king of
American cereals into favor with for
eigners are beginning to bear fruit.
There is no country in the world that
can in any wise compete with the Unit
ed States in growing corn, and if we
can establish Il large and increasing
market abroad for the product, it will
bring our farmers untold wealth. What
is most needed to insure general de
mand for corn abroad is a knowledge
of preparing it for the table. OF the
large amount of cornmeaI sent to Ire
land during the famine many years ago
much was wasted as the poor people
could add nothing to it but water and
did not even know how toprepare hoe
cakes

Is BUSINESS IMPROVING.

From Bradstreets last issue we
| clip the following items concerning
| business in the east in the manufac
| turing line which facts are better than
| long winded arguments concerning
| the business prosperity that is grow
ing in the country. Bradstreet's says:
Practically all of the f1int-glass fac
tories in the country, especially those
| in the Ohio valley, have resumed dur
ing the week. 1t is reported that a
number of the factories have so many
orders on file that it will be impossible
to fill them for Il number of weeks to
come In fact, it is said that the trade
is in such good condition that the man
ufacturers will mos likely advance
prices in the not distant future.

and Mr.. Quick is now en- route for

He is engineer for the Sterling Placer

vast track of auriferous gravel beds
and bars. in the Walnut Grove region,
on an extensive scale. The cOmpany's
ground lies between Wagoner's and
Pierce's places, is from one mile TO
three and half miles wide and COM
prises 30 claims of 160 acres each. a
force of men was put to work doing
assessment work on these claims before
the first of January and the company
has concluded to continue the work
without cessa tiOn. and to ship out
latest improved BucyruS steam shovel
with rifles and a revolving screen
The ordinary steam shovel takes in

Walnut Grove had yielded 100000 in
gold and the output has steadily kept

places as are accessible to water, most
of it being taken out during the wet
seasons The ground which the Bucy-
rus shovel will invade is comparative

reach of other mining methods. 1t is

Orc this Week t4Iat the stage which
phys between that place and Tucson
was obliged to lay up and the mail
was brought in on horseback yester-
day. The snow is foot and a half
deep on the level and in some places
much deeper" Prescott has been
sleigh riding at various times during
the winter and all the mountain re-
giOns have been filed with snow and
to much lower altitude than has
the Territory. Snow on the Maricopa
mountains on the south side of this
valley has not been seen more than
once before this winter in many years
or since the settlement of the valley.
The Governor in his report is very
conservative in estimating our
population making it on the basis of
four TO the vote while the average per
centage established by long observa-
ton is usually put at five. Estimated
on a basis of five persons for every
vOte our last registered vote being
20. 15S, we should have population of
lO0-79O and there is not much doubt
that the usual per centage will now
hold good in the Territory which has
changediLL the character of its popuIa-
tion very rapidIy>in Ire past few years

county in the Territory. OurtoWns
