oils Visited by q Disastrous Fire.
VICTORIA. B. c., May 23.-The main
portion Of the city Of Dawson was de-
stroyed by fire on April 20. causing q
loss Of 81. 900. 900. In all III buildings,
including the Bank of British North
America, were burned. The fire broke out
on April 20 in the very center OF the
business portion, commencing at the
opera house on the water front, and
spread with unusual rapidity, covering
the principal business portion Of Daw-
son. The buildings burned like finder
owing t. the fact that they had been
standing for nearly two years and the
logs We're as dry as powder. The fire
spread with such rapidity that the peo-
pie We're unable to saw anything in the
way Of furniture. goods and clothing.
so that the losses when footed up prom
Use to be even greater than at first esti-
mated.
This fire came at a time when the
mills and dealers in building materials
had exhausted their winter supplies.
and, as a result. there is a famine in all
kinds of building material and furni-
ture, such as sash, doors, hinges,
locks, etc.
Bank Vault Proves Useless.
The heaviest losers by the fire are
Messrs. Mcclellan and McFeeley Of this
city and Vancouver, who had an i'm
mense stock of iron and tinware and
miners supplies taken in at heavy ex-
pense, and the Bank Of British North
America. whose rather tlimsy vault did
not withstand the heat. the papers in it
being destroyed. The bank also lost a
large amount of gold dust. A rough
estimate places the loss in gold and
paper money alone at 81, 900, 600.
Altogether the burned area comprises
quite three-Quarters of the area of Daw-
son. Not a single building is left be-
tween the opera house and Fairview
House. In this section the buildings
were erected in 1896 and not a pioneer
building is left standing. Provisions
have not been advanced in price nor has
clothing. the companies being deter
mined, apparently. to do all in their
power to relieve the general distress.

literally to the building of this road.
If the property owntrs of Phoenix
would give, say $4,000, the road could
be completed inside of sixty days and
stages could then make daily trips. 1t
is strange that the people of this town
arc SO lukewarm toward this propo-
sition. Any business men will tell
you that with means OF rapid com

SUGAR BELTS IN ARIZONA

Bulletin 80 of the Arizon, Ex-
pertinent Station, publishes the re-
sul's Of the second years experiments
with sugar beets, made in Salt River
valley, during 1898, witch are Of
considerable interest to the agricnl-
tufal public,
The results of the previous years
work, conducted in the mannes usual
elsewhere, were discouraging, but
acting on the experience gained dur
ing this first attempt, a second and
more successful plan was carried out
during 1898.
In addition to experiments with
beets. Salt River valley was explored
for suitable water and limestone, both
of which are essential to the estab-
lishment of beet sugar factory.
The following is a summary of the
results of the years experiments
/. Sugar beets of good quality and
IN paying quantities can be produced
in Salt River valley. An essential
precaution is early planting, from
January lst to the middle of Feb
ruary being probably the best season.
The average fer 1893 on ten winter
sown plats, varying from one-eight to
three -fourths acres, were 1885 tons
per acre; 3 6 per cent sugar in beets;
1888 per ceat purity; 2438 pounds
of sugar per acre.
2. A planting made in September
gave fair results, but not equal sto
those from the winter planning.
8, Diffusiopwaters Of fair quality
existsin thes,salley. Their develop.
ment in satisfactory location and suf-
iicient quantity must be considered in
connection with other problems of
factory location.
4. In addition to the stimulating
effect Of factory upon agricultural
and commercial interests, the stock
feeding and .dairying industries would
materially profit by the presence Of
a factory in Salt River valley, be-
cause of the excellent feeding value
of the exhausted pulp.
A valuable suggestion gained from
this work is the Importance of g care
full study OF the best time for plant .
ing each of our staple crops. For
many plants there are really two
growing seasons in Southern Arizona.
one in the spring and the other in the
autumn. In the first case the growth
of plants is terminated by the ex-
treme Of summer, la the second, by
the frost OF winter. BY studying and
making the most of this double season.
the productivoness OF some vegetable
crops may be greatly increased.
Correspondence on this and other
subjects pertaining to agriculture
should he addressed to the

ENDLESS CHAIN IN BUSINESS.

New York SUM- Tho endless
chain IDEA has been adapted to busi-
ness with surprising results. If peo--
pie will only take to it, they can buy
a $3 pair of shoes for. 10 cents, 800
overcoat for quarter, and other
things at equally low prices. while the
dealers will shortly be able to retire
with huge fortunes.
The thing works this way: Sup.
pose you want to get pair of $3
shoes for 10 cents. Ycu ask yourself
it you have six friends or, acquaint--
ances who also wish to secure 4 pair
of shoes for 10 cents. Yoh 60 to the
office of the concern and pay. 70 cents
for a certificate with six, coupons at
tachcd. These coupons you sell, one
to each of six friends, for 10 cents,
thus getting back 60 cents in cash for
your investment and leaving you only
10 cents out. Your friends have the
same privilege you had of taking out
certificates and selling their coupons
Each certitic icate is numbered and each
coupon bears the number of the GER
titcate OF which it is part. rs we'll
as number of its own. On the back
OF the certificate are six ruled and
numbered lines upon which the owner
of the certiii cate writes the names of
the friends to whom he has sold the
coupons. His certificate must be full
and paid up before he can draw the
premium; that is to say, each Of his
friends to whom he has sold coupon
must have come to the office and
taken out certificate at go cents for
his own account before the order for
the So pair of shoes will be given.
When this has been done he gets an
order for the shoes, or, if he prefers,
he can have So in cash. All be will
be out will be 10 cents. Tho concern
will have received the 20 cents
originally paid in by the buyer Of tae
shoes plus 60 cents from each of six
friends, or $3.50 in all, ora total Of
$4.30 for So pair of shoes. which is
satisfactory prt6t. The friends may
each sell six coupons to six friends,
get their shoes and so help to swell
the fortune Of the promoter Of tie
idea.
To the certificate that entities is
owner to get $50 overcoat or suit of
clothes for 25 cents there are ten cou :
pons attached, and each person pre-
senting one Of these coupons at the
ofii,e Of the investment company
must bring with it $3.50 in cash.
That makes $3.75 that ha has paid
out, all Of which comes back to him
in the scale Of the coupons except che
original 25 cents. Total receipts Of
the concern, $27.75 for q $40 over-
coat. The certi6cete upon which the
owner may get ss worth Of groceries
for Is cents has six coupons attached,
which must be presented at the Office
with 81 so in cash. making $l0.75 in
all.
Up to the present time this is about
the Limit to which the concern goes in
the. way OF benefit certificates, but it
proposes to add to the list sewing ma
