ADDITIONAL SHOP NOTES

One of our young friends recently took a drive out to Double Wells. While going out the saw package lying on the ground and upon seeing 1t wrapped so neatly he jumped out of his buggy with his head filled with visions of wealth. thinking it was really money. When he opened it he beheld large brick. A crowd of country lads up in a tree just above him gave a hearty laugh, and the young manHumped into his buggy and drove to his destins tion, never speaking to his companion for fear he would get the horse laugh and afraid the shop boys would hear about the found package.

U. 3. F. AND s. M. T. OF ARK,

In justice to the above organiza tion we wish to correct an impres- sion that might obtain hold among a few persons, that we inter- ested i1 our comments of the pro- ceedings of Wednesday. that there was lsomething wrong financially
 with the general offices. With the knowledge that we have been able to gain, we can say that no better organization in the State exists among the colored people. The men at the head of the organization stand in the front rank of the colored people. and their word and general behavior in our midst stamp them as men worthy of the highest confidence.

will be used. He claims for bis ma chine a capacity of 1,500 to the twenty-four hours. Dr. Webb agrees to have his machinery in position by the first of October ana already for business, if his machine is selected for the Paragould plant.
 The directors have not as yet se- lected a site for the compress build. ing, but have several different plats of ground in view, any one of which would be an admirable place for the plant. This matter VII be disposed of as expeditiously as possible, but there will be no undue haste, sas the officers are determined to get the very best site possible, and for the lowest price obtainable. As there are so many available lots for the location of the plant, this fact makes it practically impossible for the owners of the land to make the com. pany pay several prices for the privilege Of obtaining possession of it, thing which the directory has determined to avoid, if possible. At present it is intended to have the plant in operation by October 1, if it is possible to erect the buildings and get the machinery here and set up in position by that date.

There are other evidences in Arizona Of prehistoric people. In the immediate vicinity of Florence and Casa Grande are traces of an immense irrigating canal which brought water from the Gila river to the ancient city and irrigated the rich valley which surrounds the ruin. One of these great canals of the ancients tapped the Salt River near the mouth of tha Verde. For three and half miles it passes through an artificial gorge in the Superstition Mountains, says a writer, cut out of the solid rock to a depth of hundred feet, After passing the mountains it divides into four branches whose aggregate length is l20 miles, independent of the distributieg ditches. This sys- tenn of canals irrigated l,600 square miles of country. The engineering is perfect.
 Who were these ancient people2 When did they live and what tools and implements did they use to ac- complish so wonderful feat? Ex- eavations from the Casa Grande ruins discovered stone axes, bone awls and other implements of the stone age. From these it is evident that the ancient builders had DO knowledge of the use of iron. Neither were they possed of giant powder or dynamite to blast sheir way through solid rock. Their great canals were dug and castles constructed only 5y such implements as are known in the stone age, and their achievements therefore repre- sent an inconceiyable number of men and amount Of labor.

The interior of tue house consisted of five halls, three middle ones being of one size and the extreme ones longer. This was Casa Grande oyer 100 years ago, but the rams and winds of a century and more have left their mark on it's crumbling walls. The building stood on a slight eminenee, and was, no doubt, thes main structure in the city which once existed here

as much labor as the white man.
When the Chinaman begins to
compete with US in his own coun-
try, the only way to preserve our
industries will be by putting up a
tariff wall and having our market
all to our people.
The same gentleman informs
me that there is widespread dis
content among the Chinese with
the present dynasty. The Man
chus are regarded by the Chinese
as interlopers, and the end of the
dynasty is not far away. When it
comes to n close there will un-
dou bedtly be revolution in China,
but it rests with this and other
governments to say whether that
revolution shall take the form of a
restoration of the old government
under foreign protection or the
complete Russianizing of China.
at is not very many years since
Russia fought with the Cossacks
and subdued them. Today there
is no more loyal Russian than the
Cossack, Russia's power of assim-
ilation is prodigious. If Russia
ever gains full control of China
and it looks now his though she
were moving to that end-she will
esta blish a government which will
be Russian in all its sympathies.
The people of the United States
do not understand the Russian
government, 1t is most demo-
cratic government in all local mat
ters; the general governments new
er interfere in local affairs. Russia
would give China the same form
of government and would quick
ly bring order out of chaos which
exists there. Then we should have
to deal commercially, not with the
Chinaman as he is today, but with
the Russian"

THE MILL CITY.

1t is said that some time ago a
letter was received in the transfer
department of the Denver post
office addressed to Lame Water"
Colorado. The officials decided
that was pretty good conception
of Cripple Creek, and sent the let
ter to that place. After telling
this incident prominent citizen
of this place suggested that it
would be but short time until a
letter addressed to "Mill City
would find its way to Florence.
And it certainly does begin to look
as if Florence would soon become
as widely known as mill city as
it now is as an oil city.
1t is fact beyond question that
the eyes of smelling and milling
men, not only of Colorado, but of
the whole country, are being
turned to Florence. The advant-
eges of our little city have been
talked about and written about
until the agitation of the matter
is finally bringing material results
The claims of Florence are being
recognized and the question of fu-
ture growth and development is
no longer a matter for specula-
ton.
The Milliken mill will be located
h, re, we have faith in the Dorcas
people, and there are at least two
other mill propositions SO neaI
that they can be seen by those on
the inside, although they have moi
yet taken tangible form.
Not in Colorado is there another
town with the prospects of Flor
ence. The oil field is being ex.
tended, and new wells are contin.
ually being opened. More mer
are being employed by the oil
companies, the mills are running
full capacity and in every depart.
ment of the industries of our city
there is such activity as bespeaks
prosperity and development.
Every indication points to the
fact that Florence is soon to be the
industrial center of the state, ano
will be more especially known fol
its mills for the treatment of golo
ores.
