some plan for getting rid of the water as fast as it falls on the roadway, and until such plan is put in operation it is out of the question to think about having good dirt roads.
 There are just two known methods of keeping a road clear of water, the first is by means of side ditches, and the second by means of under drains. Every road should have side ditches- one on either side of the road-they need not necessarily be deep but they should be kept open and free from weeds, rubbish, etc. The read should slope gradually from the center to the ditches; the amount of slope or fall is determined by the width of the road as well as by the character of the materials of which it is made; in all cases, however, the bottom of the side ditches should be several inches

The druggist, therefore, has much to do with the success or failure of the doctors treatment. We have won golden opinions from the physicians of Phoenix on account of the accuracy and reliability of our prescription de- partment and the recognized purity and freshness of our drugs. Our policy is to boycott all adulterations and exclude them absolutely from our stock. Reap the benefit by sending all your prescriptions to Us.

Most country roads are laid cut with little if any regard for the best engin- eering practice; owing to this fact the road makers task is much more diff ficult one than it would be if every country road was laid out by a com petent engineer. After the road has once been laid out, however, it is out of the question to have it closed up again, and we must therefore make the best of the road as we find it, even if it is an expensive matter to grade and drain it. Laying aside the mat ter of location as being entirely within the province of the engineer, the first question which claims our attention in the work of road making is that of
 DRAINAGE.
 Thorough drainage is the funda- mental principle of road making. If you can keep the road dry you can keep it good, but road that is water soaked is an abomination. Water Is hard to confine and is always seek ing an outlet, but in the average dirt road there seems to be no outlet be- cause the water that falls on it 'sticketh closer than a brother" Wa ter and dirt mixed in equal Cor un- equaD proportions make mud, and 1t goes without saying that mud is a very poor material with which to make good road. It is therefore neces- sary for the road maker to devise

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

The contract on sinking 100 feet on the Welles copper property i'll the Dragons, under bond and known as the Mccormick group, was finished Saturday, says the Prospector. The shaft is now down 200 feet and well timbered throughout. It is now pro- posed to do considerable drifting, and orders are awaited from Denver to continue work. The indications are said to be more favorable than yet en- countered, and drifting to tap the ledge will next be in order.
 William Johnson, former Superin- tendent of the Gold Cliff, has returned to Tombstone from a three months trip to California. He states there is wonderful interest shown by mining men in San Francisco regarding Ari- zDna mineral resources and Cochise county is receiving her full share of attention by reason of her wonderfully rich Iroducers and the fact that some Comstock bonanza kings are interest ing themselves in this section, notably J. w. Mackay and others at the new Arizona KlOndyke near Wilcox.
 Advices from Pearce show that the citizens of that burg are indulging ill considerable railroad talk regarding the proposed road from Cochise Sta tion to Bisbee via Pearce. l: would mean much for that camp and sur rounding country, as Pearce, besides being heavy shipper of ore, would without question be the leading cattle shipping point in the territory. The town is so situated geographically that nine-tenths of the cattle business of the county would centralize at that point.

question is not a fad, simply to be talked about, but a very live and inn portant issue, alongside of which the tariff and the financial puzzle are very tame affairs. I shall now take up the practical side of the question-that phase of it which affects the road mak er-and attempt to offer some sugges- tions which will be of value to him in the work of building and repairing dirt roads.
 I desire to say at the outset that the dirt road is never, even under the most favorable circumstances, what may be termed really high grade road but, like the poor, it is always with us; as compared with roads constructed of any other material, it is as the great desert to the oasis within it's borders. In every state and territory there are thousands of miles of dirt roads. The conditions are such that permanent roads cannot be built rapidly, and it will undoubtedly be many years before the proportion of hard roads is greater than that of the common dirt roads. Tt is a condition and not a theory which confronts us," and we must therefore take advantage of every means in our power to improve the common dirt roads.
 Contrary to the generally accepted idea it is possible to so construct a dirt road that it will be passable at all seasons of the year and really first class for a greater portion of 1t. TIC do this, however, three things are necessary, viz, brains, money and the use of the best materials, and It may not be out of place to suggest that il the first and last are thoroughly II
 evidence, much of the second can bt
 dispensed with.

below the center of the road. The bottom of the side ditches should not be perfectly level so that the water Will stand in them, but should have slight fall so that the water will flow easily, and at frequent intervals these ditches should have outlets, so that the water which is carried in them may escape to some neighboring creek or natural water channel.
 In low, boggy places it is some times impossible to carry the water off the roadway by means of side ditches, and the only remedy in such cases is the under drain. The annexed illus tration shows a very convenient form

the outscide world, the outside world at the same time being dependent up- on the state for it's mineral product. The conditions here are identical, and I believe history will repeat itself in the development of Arizona. Pres pecting will produce as much mineral wealth here as in Colorado.
 T do not understand why there is not a smelter in Phoenix. If a shelter was located here it would be matter of but short time before railroads would be built to the copper camps. These mines I speak of are bound to be good producers, and the time will come when their development will force the location of shelter in this valley. There is an opportunity here, in my opinion, for some man to make a fortune, and predict that it will not be long before the valley will have a smelteI."
 Mr. Britton has bonded from Orrin Allen the Swallow group of ten claims in the Castle Creek district. These claims are located just across the range from the Buckhorn country. MT. Britton left for Castle Creek this morning to start the twenty-five ton mill at the mine to ascertain the gold values in the ores. He will develop the claims and if they develop into copper mines, as he thinks they will, he will work them from copper basis. This group of claims has been worked for their gold values alone, and were known as gold mines. MT. Britton thinks they are copper mines, and re- gards the gold as a by-product. The assay returns from the mine show that they are entitled to both distinc tiCns.
