A few weeks ago MT. Cant dec ded to build a house, so he hitohed up hisl old gray horse early one morning and came to town to consult with contractor. AS he wished the house to be we'll built he decided to figure with J. s. Hendrix. Accord ingly he took that long whiskered gentleman into the front office of the Tempe house, the most convenient place in town, and laid before him his plans.
 It was some time past noon when the matter with MT. Hendrix was sat isfactorily arranged. Both gentlemen felt the need of a good meal. so thsy went across the street to the Office

Low Grade Deposits

Speaking of Thomas A. Edison's recent
comment upon the future of gold mining
the Los Angeles Review says:
The most important feature in this state
ment is where he says: 1.-THE great prohts
in gold mining in the future are to come
from those big low grade deposits near at
hand" The absolute correctness OF what
he says is becoming more clearly discern
ible each succeeding day. The Treadweii
mines at Juneau, Alaska, and the Golden
Cross mines in San Diego county are both
excellent illustrations of this. In the lat
ter. it is we'll known from the official rec
ords that ore which does not average more
than $500 to the ton is worked at hand
some profit. The Treadwell mines SUBJ
stantiate the truth of the statement to
an even gerater degree, for it is known
that the ore worked in these mines does
not average more than S110 per ton, ana
yet they pay dividends of more than
t4O0 900 a year.
The date is rapidly approaching when
the immense low grade deposits in South
ern California and throughout the south
west will, as Edison says. demonstrate
that ''the great profits in gold mining in
the future are to come from these big
low grade deposits near at hand"

The Earliest Mining

The earliest miners and metal workers of
whom we have any record were the Aryan
people of Euro-Asian origin, who though
of pastoral and arboreal habits were fa-
miliar with the metals and worked with
them-at least with the metals gold, silver
and bronze. Chaldeans and Assyrians, as
we now know from the cuneiform inscrip-
tions, which go back 5000 B. c., were un-
doubtedly expert in the use of metals,
while the Egyptians had an intimate
knowledge of the arts and sciences. In the
brick and other inscriptions recently dis
covered artisans are seen at work with
tools. Potters, indeed, had attained en-
inence in their art, and the Egyptians had
certainly a knowledge of chemistry, as the
samples of their glass blowing and the
stone pictures of tools, forceps, blowpipes.
etc., prove. Gold was largely used at an
early period, between 1000 and 5000 B. c.,
as we find from some newly discovered
and ingenious weighing balances. Many
centuries older than the pyramids, which
date from fifty to sixty centuries back
we have examples of engineering in Men,
phis which could not have been construct
ed without tools and necessarily an ac-
quaintance with metals. The word met
ais" to forge, indicates an early acquaint-
ance with the fusing Of ores and the mall
Liability of metals. How these early prim-
tive people discovered the use of things
must have been through their needs.
particularly after they left pastoral and
tent life and began to build cities. The
Arabs are credited with being early ac-
quainted with the alloys, though alchemy
as a science, dates only from the sixteenth
century.-M. and S. Press.

water, which it can do, as its surplus is all
that is required for the purpose. 1t is
stated on good authority that the railroad
company has agreed to supply the water
for a nominal sum, and as soon as the
agreements are signed work will be COM
menced on the mill, which will be prepared
