was contracted for last fall and on

thousands of tons of low grade ores
are lying on the dumps or blocked

ore can be shipped where only car

In the general distribution of

In the general distribution o
public institutions, Northwestern
Arizona has been entirely ignored
Tucson, in the south, has the Uni
versity and School of Mines; Phe'
nix, central, has the Insane Asy'
lum and an Experimental Station;
Yuma, in the southwest, has the
penitentiary; Flagstaff, in the north,
has a Normal School and Tempe
another, while Mohave county, with
its rich mines of gold, silver, cop
per, lead and other metals, its vast
valleys, which, under irrigation,
could be made unequalled from an
agricultural and horticultural point
of view, its mountain slopes, which
should TEEN with vineyards and
orchards, its cattle ranges, which
annually produce great herds of
cattle, has been left entirely out of
the allotment of public gifts-and
we must say, without a murmur
from its citizens. In fact, when
the truth be known, with a modesty
that is to be deplored, they have
never asked for anything. A peep
into the public grab-bag discloses
that all the best prizes are gone
and only those of minor importance
left for distribution Among these
is a branch of the University and
Industrial College, an Experiment
al Station. These stations, by an
act Of congress, are established by
the regents of the institution at
points where they will accomplish
the most good, and all things con-
sidered no better location could be
found in the territory than North !
western Arizona has to offer. We,
have here climatic conditions which
do not exist elsewhere in |

'ne of golden interest to the student |

The question arises, shall we make |

which is amply provided for by

The Barn Door Club.

In writing to the youth and age Gov.
Taylor has the following to say of the
johnson City Barn Door Club" of
which he is now the president:
Next to the chase and the bird hunt
| like the clay pigeon shoot. We have
n gun club in our town They are all
goodfellows, and l am training them
to be pretty good on the wing. My OBJ
iect is to bring these amateurs to such
a state of efficiency in the winging art
as to enable them to amuse me in a
match, and | have strong hopes of sue
cess after a season or two of hard work.
Some of the young men are very prom
ising; some Of them are all promises
and no performances" The name
of our organization is "The johnson
City Barn Door Club" The qualifca-
tons for membership are that the can
didate must be able to hit barn door
and cough up SIS bill. We find it diff
fcult to get a quorum. We use the
genuine smokeless powder and hitless
shot, also breathless pigeons; but We
are little band of busy bees, and pro.
pose to some day vanquish the cham
pions of the world.
Finally, brethren, these outdoor
sports are good for both body and soul
They give us muscle and mental vigor
they broaden our chests and our views
of life; they lengthen our days ant
Tighten our troubles. They are fal
better than our modern society amuse
ments, which womanize man and man
ize woman.
As l have just received a note from
prominent member of "Fhe johnson
City Barn Door Club" informing m,
that our treasurer has absconded, ant
summoning me te-the chase, mus

Let us Have a Courthouse.

1t is time that we were arousing our
selves to the necessity for court
house, town hall and Jail. The records
of our courts and city have reached
such proportions, that they should be
kept where they can be preserved
against loss by fire and against every
other contingency. Great property
rights and interests involved in and
settled by the records referred to
would be irreperably injured, if the
said records should chance to be de-
stroyed. Besides, the erection of O
good court house and Jail would add in
many ways to our material interests.
Such buildings add importance to o
town. They indicate prosperity. They
are a sign Of progressiveness. They
increase the value of all nearby real
estate. Discuss the question gentle
ment, and let us see if we cannot give
to johnson City such needed and i'm
portant improvements.

Why Coffee is Good.

The cup value of coffee depends upon
the essential oils which it contains and
these must be developed by the process
of roasting. Some ceffees have little or
none of the essential oils, while certain
coffees known to ourselves have great
deal. James Heekin & Co. ascertain
THIS from actual tests in the cup, and
their celebrated "Kin-Hee," Mocha
aud Java is always of superior quality,
They aim to, and do give the consumer
satisfaction in the cup. Surely ''the
proof Of good coffee is in the drinking
thereof"
