him of the pictures in the
 comic papers of some tenderfJot danc-
 ing for the benefit Of a cowboy threat
 ening to shoot his feet if he doesn t
 move. He rather enjoyed the dance himself during the first hour He was
 holding the hands of two young Moqui Indians and he declared to himself that as long as they could stand it ha would not show signs of being tired. But the dance continued three hours, and he was about ready to drop. He gave a groan when it was announced to him that the dance would last all night, but he gritted his teeth and vowed to himself that the young wo- men would not have a chance of a laugh at him because of his showing signs of weakness, and all this time he was affording a free show to his white friends. When the dance con cluded ne was congratulated on all sides by the Indians, but he felt none the less tired.
 Although the Moquis are jovial peo- pie their dance is a solemn event, and they take part with long-drawn faces. MT. Hall was surprised when he ar rived at the M3qui village to find how different the Moquis are from ether Indians. The bucks are peaceable, seldom getting into fights, and the women are industrious. The men and women are light colored in comparison with other Indians, and the girls are pretty and attractive. Several Moqui Indian girls have been in attendance at the Phoenix Indian school for three CT four months. They resemble Albi- nos, having white hair and light eyes They are not pretty girls, but MT. Hall says that the few Alhino girls among the Moquis are by far the hcmliest of the girls.

Supreme Recorder F. W. Sheridan is
 hard at work in opening up the books
 of the newly formed jurisdiction and getting the affairs of his office in prop CT shape. It is a task of considerable proportions and it is his object to have everything started right from the first It has been decided by the new juris- diction to adopt the classification plan, which in short, means that the mem bership will be divided into classes ac- cording to age and rates Of payment made in accordance herewith.
 Each class will consist Of five years. To illustrate: A member jCining at the age of p will pay the rate given at the time of joining till he reaches the age of 30, when he will be trans ferred to the next higher class and for five years more will pay the next high CT rate, and SO on until he reaches the age Of 50. which is the highest ciassi- fcation. All present members of the 0roer will continue to pay the same rate as at present till January 1. 1900 when they will be classified. All new members taken in between TOW and January 1st, will be classified as they join.
 Missionary work is being pushed in the territory and the order seems to be very prosperous at present, many new members being received.

NEW RAILROAD.
Prospects Are Bright for Ono Between
 Here and the Ray Mines.

There has been considerable specu.
 lation of late and a good deal of fig
 uring by those interested on the feas-
 ibility of building a railroad into the
 Mineral Creek district and to the Ray mine in Pinal county.
 Nc less than four routes have been
 proposed and referred to in the press as follows: From Mesa City, from Casa Grande, from Red Rock and from Picacho. Of all these routes it would appear merely from the topography of
 the country that the Mesa City route
 would be the cheapest and best. How ever, fearing that none of these routes would give satisfaction, and hoping to save to Tucson the exemption privi- lege in case she desired rail connec-
 tfon with that region in the near fu- ture, her beard of trade has very wisely taken the preliminary steps, The Citizen says:
 The bcard of trade, at it's last meeting, appointed a committee to promote a railroad between this city and the Ray mines 1t Riverside. The chairman of the committee is Charles F. HOff. The other members are Theodore G. Fitch and B. L. Worthen The committee has gathered a large amCunt of da5n upon the matter and has decided that the line proposed would be paying financial invest ment. Therefore Charles F. Hoff the chairman of the committee, through his attorneys, filed his inten- tiOn of constructing the road men tioned with the territorial secretary today. MT. Hoff will assign the said intention to any responsible company that will contract to build and operate the desired railroad. The intention was filed today by MT. Hoff, as this is the last day of grace. At the last session the territorial legislature passed law eX- empting from taxation fer ten years any railroad which should be built in the territory, provided notice Of such building should be filed with the terri torial secretary within six months after the passage of the act Today is the las. day of the six months Therefore, MT. Hoff's promptnsss has saved Athe proposed railroad between this City and the Ray mines the amount of ten years taxes. The act provides that work upon the construction of the rail- road musS begin within six months af- ter the filing of the notice.
 ''The proposed railroad will be ninety miles long. It will begin at Riverside and will pass through Alma, Dudley vile. Mammoth, Oracle and Canyon del Gro, connecting with the South ern Pacific at Tucson.
 Tt is believed by those interested in the project that a company will be soon organized to build the road. The road will pass through a wonderfully rich country, and miners, stockmen and agriculturalists have already prom ised it enough business t1i place it upon a paying basis from the start. All of these pledges and other data are in the possession of MT. Hoff.''

in the eight days the hogs were in
 the stockyards they gained several bounds a day That is to say. each | hog had eaten 64 c,ents' worth of wheat but he had gained heavily in weight. The price of wheat is only 1 | cent a pound, while the value of the hogs per pound is at least cents. And this is not the only advantage. The hogs flesh was made solid and they will not lose sc much weight when
 they are shipped
 Cattle cannot be fattened on wheat
 and there is no corn here to devote to this purpose. The farmers have fer some time been trying to discover substitute and the Buckeye farmers now think sorghum heads make god fattener. Fattening Cn sorghum was tested a year ago, when several cars of cattle were sent to Omaha. The cattle were not sold there as feeders like tho cattle taken from the alfalfa fields or the ranges here, but were ready for the bFcck when they arrived. Some cattlemen of Phoenix say that sorghum will not answer the purpose of corn. They give no reason for taking this view, except to say that there is nothing which is a substitute. They say that the sorghum fat5ened cattle sent to Omaha arrived at a time when there was a scarcity of cOrn-fed cattle and the butchers were compelled to take most any kind of beef cattle. Other trial shipments will be made, though. and it seems reasonable to as sume that sorghum-fed cattle will bring bettcr prices than cattle taken from either the ranges CT alfalfa

MT F. M. Murphy of Prescott, Ariz., railroad president, miner and capital ist, and brother of Hon. N o. Murphy, the governor of ATizo1a, is the guest of the Arlington.
 He has done much to build up the material interests of his territory, and is an ardent believer in it's future greatness.
 'The whole west" said MT Murphy, lis experiencing an unprecedented amount of prosperity, and Arizona is not behind any state CT territory in getting it's share. The flush times are due im great measure to our paying gold and copper mines. The richest copper mine in the, world is in Ar1- zona, and it sowner, Senator-elect Clark of Montana, derives from it monthly revenue that a king might envy. In less than ten years J look to see Arizona in the lead in the pro- duction of the two metals that the world now wants so eagerly, gold and copper
 Aside frcm it's mines Arizona is a magnificent country. You can be skat- ing over the ice up in the mountains in mid-winter, but a ride of a few hours will bring you to valleys where you can take luscious oranges from the trees. It is the best country for the in valid 1 ever saw, and if man can't re- cuperate in our pure atmosphere. his case is hopeless.

Forty Men Have Narrow Escape From
 Death.

Colton, Utah, Sept. 17.-Last even ing about 6 o'clock an explosion oc- cured at the new Clear Creek mine of the Pleasant Val:.ey Coal company, six miles above Scofield. The canvas curtains used between rooms and en- tries in some way caught fire several hundred feet under the mountain. This caused an explosion, which set fire u the coal and timbering. About forty men were in the mine at the time of the explosion, and some of them were almost suffocated with the smoke. Prompt action in fiCoding the mine put out the fire and little damage was done, although the fire gained consid- erable headway before the water the blaze.

A NEW DEPARTURE
Hogs Faffened af phOenix Refore
 Being Shipped Abroad.

Johnson & Mcdonald will ship to Simon Meyers at Les Angeles today three cars of cattle and two cars of hogs. The cattle are selling at 4 cents and the hogs at , cents. This price for hogs is somewhat higher than they usually bring shipped from Phoenix, and the advanced price is due to the fact that the hogs were not shipped direct from alfalfa fields, but were fattened On wheat before ship ping. This method of fattening home is new departure which from all in dications will be a profitable one. Said a prominent cattieman yesterday con corning this new method:
 When the farmers dealing in cattle and hogs here wake up to few points in their business they will be more prosperous. never have been able to see the reason why alfalfa fed hogs are sent to California When they get to California they are fattened generally on corn and sometimes on wheat Why cnn't they be fattened here before tEcy are shipped?
 'Of course we don't raise much corn here and there is nothing which is a substitute for fattening hogs. But there is lets of wheat grown in the valley and it sells as cheaply as at almost any other place. The hog ship ment by Johnson G Mcdonald is an il- lustration of what may be done. The hogs were brought off alfalfa fields and put in the railroad stockyards They were only kept there eight days, but it was a paying proposition. It cost slightly less than a cent pound for wheat. A 200-pound hog will eat about eight pounds of wheat in day And
