BRET HARTE's SPY STORY.

The use of the official envelopes Of
 the United States by both French and
 German spies is an old dodge, and a
 great many are stolen from the smaller
 consulates in Germany, where the folk
 in charge are rather careless about
 their stationery. Some inkling of this
 leaked out years ago, and the thing
 was talked about in diplomatic and
 newspaper circles as a good joke. Bret
 Harte was then in the consular service
 in England, and naturally he heard the
 yarn. It struck him as good literary
 material, and he wrote a short story
 based upon it, which was published in
 one of the London Christmas annuals T think the Graphic-but I am not
 quite sure, in either '94 or '95-
 This story" continued the newspa- per man, was quite different from MT Harte's usual vein. and was very clever and amusing. It purported to be the narrative of the American consul at fortified city in interior Germany, and opened with the appearance at the focal garrison of a very raw recruit, who speedily became the butt of his comrades. This poor fellow, who was the soul of good natured idiocy, used to come to the consulate to write let tars to his brother in America and tt2S allowed to help himself to the Ot- ice stationery. Later on he disap- peared, and was supposed to have been in the river while bathing. Two years afterward the consul was in Paris, and while seated in front of boulevard cafe was accosted by a smart young French captain in full uniform The face of the soldier was familiar, and suddenly light broke in upon the consul. The smart captain was none other than he stupid recruit, who had a dear brother in faraway America. He was a French spy and a matchless mimic, and the consul forgot his chagrin over the misused stationery in his admira- tion for the mans pluck and audacity. The reader is given plainly to under stand that the letters written at the consulate never went to America, but were addressed to a secret agent in Paris and passed safely through the mails, guarded by the official insignia of Uncle Sam. That tale was printed four or five years ago, and is a toIer- ably striking confirmation of what | have said ill reference to the use of our envelopes by spies on both sides New Orleans Times-Democrat

AUTUMN DREAMS.

When the maple turns to crimson, And the sassafras to gold; When the gentian's in the meadow When the aster's in the void: When the moon is lapped in vapor, And the night is frosty cold; Through the rustling woods I wander Through the jewels of thesyear, From the yellow uplands calling, Seeking her who still is dear; She is near me in the autumn, She, the beautiful, is near. So I think when days are sweetest, And the world is wholly fair, She may sometimes steal upon me, Through the dimness of the air, With the cross upon her bosom, And the amaranth in her hair. Once to her, ahI to meet her, And to hold her gently fast, Till I blessed her. till she blessed me That were happiness at last, That were bliss beyond our meetings In the autumn of the past.

RAY MINE RAILROAD.
There is Nothing Certain Yet, About It's
 Construction.

W. Y. Price and c. D. Reppy, who were delegated by the citizens meet ing to visit the officials of the Ray
 mine and learn the intentions of tire company regarding the projected rail- road from that property, performed the duty imposed upon them last Saturday, says the Florence Tribune.
 They were cordially received by Gen eraI Manager Alexander Hill and his able assistant, MT. H. P. Winslow, who assured them that the matter of rail road building, except the narrow gauge between the mines and the cOncentrat- ing mill. some six or seven miles, was q matter to be determined in the future by the directors. The proposition to grant right of way over the county roads, made by the supervisors, MT. Hill considered a liberal one, and he expressed himself as pleased with the spirit of the resolutions adopted by the public meeting and he would be glad at any time to meet the people of Pinal county half way on any proposition Tor the advancement of its interests He would lay the whole matter before the directors of the company, number or whom were expected here from London fn November. He had little doubt that when d railroad is built it would come to Florence, and from that point to either Casa Grande or Mesa. In the meantime the Ray company will build it's narrow gauge to place where trac- tion engines can be used. When it can be shown that the volume of business will warrant it. either the Southern Pacific or Santa Fe will build the road. MT. Hill thought it would be advisable for all interested to collect data of amount of business the new railroad would obtain and submit the matter to the officials of the big trunk lines. One or the other would certainly see the advantages of securing the bust- ness of this great mining and agricul- tural section.
 The meeting with the Ray off1ciaie was a very satisfactory one, and ef- fectuaIly disabused previously form ed opinion on the part of one Of the committee at least that Tucson h fuence was paramount. Let it be un- derstood hencefOrth that the Ray Mines. Limited, are a Pinal county institution.

AN IrfpORTANT INDUSTRY
E Establishment of a Binding Twine
 Factory in YUmI

Samuel E. Allison of the Galveston Fiber company, Galveston. Texas, was in Yuma the fore part of the week, and i in company with R. P. H. Laney of the Colorado River Fiber company made
 a tour of the Colorado river valley for the purpose of Investigating the possi-
 bilities of the hemp industry of that section. He made a thorough test of
 the fiber of the wild hemp, which
 grows so prolific on the overflow lands
 along the Colorado river, and made the
 statement that it can be prOfitably util-
 ized in the manufacture of binding twine and small ropes and tWineS. MT.
 Alison was very enthusiastic over the
 outlook for the fiber industry in this section and made a proposition to the
 Colorado River Fiber company and the people of Yuma for the establishment of plant for the manufacture of bind ing twine. A plant that will turn out one carload per day of the finished ar ticle will cost $50, ,O0O, and MT. Allison states, upon authority, that if the peo- pie of Yuma will furnish $25.O00 the Galveston Fiber company will put up a like amount and leave the manage ment of the enterprise in the hands of local investors.
 The Galveston Fiber company uses Allison'S improved decor ticatOr in pre- pairing the crude material for spinning purposes The machine was invented by Mir Allison and has been in sue cessfu1 operation in Galveston for sev- eral years.
 The profits of the hemp industry. when it is properly handled, are simply enormous. There are many thousands of acres of wild hemp in the valley be- good advantage, besides the cultivation of hemp or ramie on land that can be irrigated will yield a greater return at less expense than most any other crop When properly cultivated hemp will produce 1000 pounds of fiber per acre, each crop, and at least four crops q year can be raised in the Colorado River valley. The fiber is worth seven cents per pound. which would make a gross annual income of S2S0 per acre. As we are annually importing more than S500,0 900 worth of hemp fiber there is no question as to a steady market.
 MT. Allison talked his proposition over with a number of business men in Yuma and received much encourage ment He is a recognized authority on all kinds of fbers and has plenty of capital ready to back up his Judgment. If the enterprise is established here 1t will distribute annually almost one million dollars in Yuma county. This is an opportunity that the business men of Yuma cannot afford to overlook.
