THE FLORA OF ARIZONA.


 Few states in the Union have a more varied flora than Arizona. The character of much of the southern portion of the territory with a maximum amount of sunshine and q minimum rainfall is productive of veg etatiCn not found elsewhere in the United States. In southern and cen tral Arizona succulent plants including cacti, yuccas and agaves are the most conspicuous forms of plant life. The plains are for the most part more or less thickly covered with a great va riety of shrubs and bushes, in the pro tection of which many annuals and the weaker perenniaIs find a home.
 The mountain flora shows a marked contrast where compared with the flora of the plains. The greater variations iii the color of flowers and fruits, the deeper green of the foliage, and the larger leaves remind one of the flora Of the more humid regions.

ARIZONA FORESTS.

Arizona has the largest unbroken forests of pine timber in the United States. The pine forests of northern and central Arizona cover an area of about 2,700 square miles, or approXi- mately 1,75O,000 acres. In the larger forests on the San Francisco range the pine trees run from the sapling size III, to four feet in diameter. Common saw timber runs from twelve to thirty six inches in diameter usually, the logs averaging about four to the 1000 feet Ot lumber.
 Arizona has an ample timber supply for the home consumption of a large population fol' many years.
 The price of lumber varies from SIP to $40 per 1 ,0G0 feet according to To- cality, the excessive price being on ac- count of expensive transportation to localities remote from the source of supply This will be remedied by the further construction of railroads. The principal shipping points for lumber are Flagstaff and Williams on the Santa Fe railroad in Coconino county.
 Conservative judges and estimators of timber place the quantity of timber on the Colorado plateau at about S,000,- 0G0 900 feet. This includes the Coco nino forest but does not include the forests of the White mountains nor the timber in the Santa CaItalinas, Santa Rftas, nor in any of the timber-covered regions of the territory.

COPPER MINING
 IN ARIZONA
By J. N. Ford, Tn. C NJ. D.

It is fully established in the minds of
 the mining people of the United States, as well as in the minds of the entire
 mining world, that the mining of cop
 per pays a larger percentage of profits
 to the capital invested than does the
 mining of either gold, silver, iron or lead.
 This Is true not only in the individ- ual cases as applied to single mines that are today being operated in the states and territories of the Union, but
 it is more markedly true when the copper mines are taken collectively To the careful observer of mining sta- tistics and the various reports of divi- dends declared by the going mines, either gold, silver, copper or lead, as well as estimates of profits on the out put of well known non-repOrting mines, it becomes plainly apparent that the copper mines of the United States pay more net profits than all of the gold, silver and lead mines com bined, and it should be very gratifying to the mining residents of Arizona when they reflect upon the fact that this young territory, standing as it does upon the very threshold of it's mining career, is accorded third place in the production of copper
 It is within the bounds of fairness to state that Arizona has scarcely more than completed her first decade in cop per mining, and when we take into consideration the fact that it is a far cry" from the copper prospect to the fully developed and fully equipped mine, the present output of copper and the position we have attained is indeed marvellous. The increase of production the past year over that of the year be- fore being 37 per cent, is well calcu- lated to attract widespread attention and to suggest to the minds of other copper producing states that Arizona will in the near future take first rank in the production of copper. The in crease of production during the past year is wholly due to the increase of the capacity of the reduction works at the going mines in the territory-seven in num- Der. This increase in production is soon to be augmented by several very promising mines nCw in course of de velopment and these will be succeeded by others until Arizona takes her pre- destined place at the head of the pro cession.
 In assuming that Arizona will take | the leading position in the production | of copper in the near future, it might | he wise to supp,ant mere assertion | witA reasonable argument; and with | tha Aad in view a consideration of the | va kSsr producing areas in the | Uu not be out of order.

 THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
 (By Father Novatus Benzing.)
 The Catholic church in Phoenix is now a strong and growing organiza- tion. Archbishop Salpointe, who died last year, and who came to Arizona in 1865, used to say that when he first saw Phoenix it consisted of three MeXi- can houses. Later, as the population of Arizona increased, g priest was sta tiOned al Florence. Phoenix was then Q place of secondary importance to Florence and the priest used to come to Phoenix at intervals. In 18S3 the present adobe church building was erected by Father Edward Gerard who still lives in Tucson.
 The congregation for many years continued to be almost entirely Mexi can, and even Father Francisco, who acted as pastor until few years ago, never acquired a fluent mastery of English.
 As English speaking Catholics came to the district provision had to be made for sermons in both languages at the various church services. In 1895 the charge of the parish was given by the bishop to the Franciscan Fathers, four of whom now attend to the spirit Ital needs of the congregation. Be sides a great number of individual Catholics, the congregation at present consists of about eighty Catholic fam lilies, and considerable progress has been made towards bringing under re- ligiOus influences the five thousand Mexicans who live in the valley.
 There is a church and school in Tempe; and Tempe, Mesa, Gila Bend and Wickenburg are attended regular ly from Phoenix.
 In Phoenix itself there is a school built last year for Spanish speaking children, and a parochial school and academy, conducted by the Sisters of Mercy. The church has been improved and a hall has been provided in which the Catholic Social Union holds it's every Thursday, and the Catholic Young Mems society every evening.
 Mission stations for the Indians are found on the reservations southwest Of Phoenix, and also at Gila Bend.
 Owing to the present necessity of preaching in both English and Spanish it is expected that a new church for those who understand English will soon be erected.

A PHOTOGRAPH sWINDLER.
Has Fooled Many People in Warthen
and Other Places.

Many people Of Warthen: Ga, were
recently taken il by photographer,
who proved to be John R. Kay. He
gained the confidence of the people and
took a number of pictures, which were
paid for before delivery. This was
-hrec weeks ago and no pictures have
been heard from. The probability is
that they will continue to wait.
This man is known l. Augusta and
bears no savory reputation here. For
time he was in CO. partnership with
Mr.. ". Shaw Howard, Jr., of this
city. Their relations lasted about six
months and we're severed on account Of
soma underhand work Of Kay. These
men had an Office at Lulaville, at which
place Mr.. Howard would 6evelope the
pictures while Kay was or the road.
Mr.. Howard happened to find out that
Kay was having some Of the work done
in Augusta and severed relations with
him at once.
He bought an outfit from Howard,
which he never paid for, and started
out on his own hook. The results OF
his lators are just coming to light,
much to the sorrow Of those heswindled.
1t is not known positivel y what other
places he visited. but he left saying he
was going to Camak People in that
neighborhood Will do vel! to look after
their interests.
This man is described as being rather
tall, medium build and slightly bald.
He came originally from Honea Path, 5.
c., and off and on has lived in Augusta
for many years. Mr.. Howard is pro-
mlnently known in Augusta and re-
grets' the occurrence very much, not
that he has anything to 90 with the
man now, but that he is using an cutht
bearing the name Of Kay & Howard.
This Of course, is done without the
sanction of Mr.. Howard, and is used
to advantage by the otaer man.-Au-

Suicide al DARLINGTON.

4 special dispatch from Darlington to
the Augusta Chronicle says DR.. John
\. Boyd, leading business man of
that city, committed suicide Monday
night, 2lst instant. The dispatch
says no reason is known for his action.
1t was probably due to gloomy and
dcspondent state Of mind and poor
health. The deceased was proprietor
of the Oldest drug stue, and one Of the
most successful, in the place. He was
about 45 years of age, unmarried, and
lived with his sister, Miss Mary Boyd,
on Florence street. 1t is thought that
he was attempting suicide once before
when he took an overdose of morphine,
which came very near resulting fatally.
lie was, however, brought through this
safely. Monday afternoon his sister
went out driving, leaving him at home.
On her return late in the afternoon he
was found dead. and terribly cut by a
razor, with which he had opened veins
in his arm and leg. DR.. Boyd was a
man Of somewhat retiring disposition,
but was much liked by those vho k new
him well.
