commissioner Stevens plan of putting
10 per cent. of the cotton crop into cotton
factories would undoubtedly work a great
chanse In the South in the cour-e of a
few years. but one great difficulty in the
way OF putting the plan into execution
- that the majority of the cotton farmers
are hardly in position to hold out and
invest one bale in each ten in an enter
PRISE that would not begin to pay divi-
bends for year or two. There are. how
ever great many OF them, probably
VINO could afford to invest 10 per cent.
OF their crops in cotton mills. and they

jury which tried Delegal was composed of
Wnile men, and five of that jury held the

'"Tillman has followed Altgeld to speak
in the Eastern states. Whether either
one has gone by invitation or by a sort
of self-propulson, of which both are capa-
Bile. is not known to the Indifferent out
side world. but it is certain that they will
not advance the cause of the platform of
1896 to which both are welded. There
is a breeziness about Tillman that has an
effect upon shallow people, who believe
that an orator is great according as he
can say bitter things. There is a degree
of philosophical sadness about Altgeld
that easily passes for wisdom among
those who are too indolent or too morose
to be happy. Thus one passes for a sage,
while the other stands for a hero. both

Description of a Trip to the
 Great Coal Deposits.
What Al Doyle and Joseph Hunt Saw en Their Recent Trip. Doyle Moralizes
 On Various Kinds of Fossils.

We left Flagstaff on the morning of the 18th of February 1899, with team of horses and blackboard loaded with provisions, picks, shovels, drills and sufficient giant powder to make the old coal hills ring.
 They are locat ,d north of Flagstaff 90 miles and extend north-north-east into the state of Colorado.
 The purpose of our trip was to get some samples and have them analysed to ascertain if these great fields contain merchantable coal.
 There was nothing startling the first day out, only the discovery that we had nothing on our blackboard stronger than Arbuckle coffee and giant powder.
 The second day we travelled over a beautiful country, sloping gradually toward the Little Colorado river to Tanners crossing, about sixty miles north of Flagstaff, the most beautiful and level road we have had the pleas ure to witness for long time, and we immediately began figuring out rail- road tracks to it and concluded that there was practically no road bed to be built, as the ties could be laid on the ground on a natural road bed.
 We reached the Little Colorado river in the afternoon. Here the formation changes to sand. The hills, the valleys
The Coconino sun., 1899-03-04

and the river bed is all sand and you will realize without your attention be- ing called to it, that there is fair pro- portion of the finer grades of sand in your eyes and ears. The country gen. erally goes to extremes. This portion is all sand, but at at the coal fields it is all "coal."
 The Little Colorado river is dry dur ing the summer months, but is very treacherous when the floods come down from the White mountains in winter aud spring.
 The next day we reached Moen Ava, small settlement south and west of Tuba City. Here we saw large springs of water, some good farming lands, large cottonwood trees and beautiful orchards of peach, apricot and apple trees; some pretty girls and school house with an attendance of 15 children. Here is where John D. Lee lived for about three years early in the '70's while Uncle Sam's officers were look ing for him to come to court to settle little difficulty. It seems ''Sam" won the case for he had John taken to Noun tain Meadow and shot. The old stone house Lee built and lived in while here still stands, but looks quite ancient.
 Here we find springs of water coming out of the hill.sides and gulches, and extending over large section of country. The soil along the Moen Copi wash is sand and clay and very fertile. Grapes in abundance, corn, oats, alfalfa, sweet potatoes and all other kinds of vegetables are produced here yearly in large quantities.
 The entire surrounding country is Q great basin and covers an area larger than the state of Ohio, surrounded by high mountains on all sides. We think

An Interesting Relic.

In the basement of the old Moss

removed by Mr.. Stras, was an old
iron safe used by his father, Mr.. Jos.
Stras. The safe is rude one, much
unlike the modern safe. In the
vaults the carpenters found 8 one
dollar gold coins, bearing date OF
coinage of moro than fifty years ago.
Mr.. Stras will of course, preserve
this safe as a relic of the years gone
by.
