A Woman's Pluck Rewarded.

Utah's richest widow, Mrs. Susanah Bransford Emery, of Salt Lake City, has an income close upon $l00, ,000 year from an estate won largely by her own efforts. At the time of her husbands death, five years ago, she was left in possession of lot of min ing property, which was generally re- garded as worthless. The widow being woman of resolution, set about the task of developing it. A pay streak was found in one of the mines, the Silver King. Now her dividends from it alone are over $6,000 month. The Grand Central, gold prospect in the Great Tintic, in one year has paid her something like sl0,000, and she has recently refused to sell her interest in the mine for $100, ,00O0. Mrs. Emery, though very busy woman, finds time for mental recreation, h-t seldom gets far from telegraph station, holding Chat if she wishes t9 have her business enterprises prosper she must remain in close touch with them

The construction of 8 wagon road over the mountains to Mesa is again demanding attention on account of the growth of our mining industry. Those who have given the project at- tention say good road can be built for $8000 that will allow an ordinary team to haul over it without diff culty. The distance from Globe to a pointon Queen creek and on the level road to Mesa is about twenty-five miles. From Globe to Schultz ranch, a distance of ten miles, the road is good. After leaving the latter place the route runs down Pinto creek to the Stone cabin. There is already demand from the miners on Pinto creek for road that they can haul over. The difficulties are numerous
 in getting supplies on Pinto-stoves for instance have to be taken apart before loaded on pack-animals. The grade for short distance beyond the Stone cabin will be little heavy be- fore entering the Haunted canyon which will furnish fully six miles of nearly natural road, and then ou to Buchanan's wood camp. This min ing camp would be another Silver King for the Mesa county.-[Globe Times.

press of Birmingham went boldly to the front, assumed a confident, aggressive at titude; then the ladies, always stronger in diversity than men came to the rescue God bless them-and lined up in honor or their state; then the fair was go. Bir- mingham awoke from her lethargy, every body and everything came tumbling over one another the city government rendered aid invaluable an address was put out to the people. the farmers the merchants, the mapufa cturers, the Board of Trade, Com mercial club, the railroads, the factories and the furnaces. all began to hoer hurrah and the biggest fair ever held in the south was a living. indisputable fact boom was on sure enough. Birmingham became alive and even feverish over the great fair. The prospect of one hundred thousand strangers visiting their city to do honor to one of the greatest naval heroes of the worlds history, and he a loyal son of the south, charmed and infatuated every loyal son and daughter of wonderful Birming- ham. Tens of thousands have visited the fair grounds to view. with pride in their great citv. the splendid buildings and love- ly surroundings.
 During all these changing conditions and circumstances that have wrought such great benefits to Birmingham, the ladies and the press of the city and state have pursued the even tenor of their way, work dng faithfully and consistently all the time for the fair and wondering why anybody ever could be so foolish as to doubt the success of anything that Birmingham un- dertakes. Noble women! Noble press! the world would be a sorry little globule without your vintues, your powers and your charm

 The management does not propose to stop with this state fair. The grounds have been laid out and the buildings erected for per- manent purposes. The association rrop ses to make the state fair permanent institu- tion, and in addition to annual fairs, to make the grounds the scene of enjoyment and education several times year. Many improvements will be added to the build ings and the landscape in the near future until the grounds are the most beautiful and complete in the sou.h. As soon as the state fair is over, the management will get to work on these improvements and VII early in the spring issue its catalogue of premiums for the next state fair and will be permanently in the business.

 Birth of the Organization
 In the early part of August a few enter pflslng gentlemen conceived the idea of or sanlzlng an association for the purpose of holding a state fair in Atlanta A commit tee called on me at Montgomery and dis cussed the matter, and cast about for some suitable person to assume the duties of the presidency. felt at that time that could not undertake considerable task, but. some days later when I was informed that the charter had been granted and I had been unanimously chosen president &C., cepted after carefully considering the op- portunities and difficulties that confronted me.
 My first visit to the state fair headquart- CTS at Birmingham was indeed discourag- ing. I learned that the association was antagonized by parties who had desired to obtain financial control and had failed, and were saying ugly things and making covert threats. Many of my influential friends warmed me that 1t was hazardous under taking. The leading business men of Bir- mingham, if net positively unfrendly, were. at least. indifferent and without con- fidence The project seemed "cold, cold. my girl, and pale as they smack" How ever, even at this gloomy stage. there were potent elements at work. The daily papers were nobly struggling against an adverse tide; the ladies were confident and encour- aging, and in these. and the sublime cour- age and resolution of my colleagues of the board of directors saw chance for suc- cess In the fact of these unfriendly condi- tions the stockholders paid their money into the treasury, the grounds were leased. the contracts for buildings let. and in the very teeth of untoward circumstances a vigorous assault was begun on all obstacles.

THE HISTORY OF
 ALABAMA STATE FAIRS

Abundant and pronounced success having rewarded the management of the State Fair association in such generous measure, and the state now standing on the threshold of the largest and most brilliant exposition of her power and wealth that has ever been witnessed resume of the difficulties that beset us at the beginning and the obstacles that have been overcome may prove inter- esting ito the citizens of Alabama who be- lieve that expositions of this character con tribute to promote and fontify the material and moral greatness of the state and her splendid cities, towns and rural districts.
 From my own observation and experi- ence, embracing a period of thirty years, the deduction presents itself in a most forci- ble and convincing form, that the manage ments of former state fairs have not given the same careful, prudent reflection and consideration to the subject in hand that the ordinary business enterprise demands. On the contrary, the fair business has usually been conducted by gentlemen large ly interested In other affairs, who could only now and then give a spare moment to a public enterprise that would last but a few days. These gentlemen usually dele gated powers to subordinates, who were selected more with the view of compensat- ing some unfortunate good fellow out of employment than of perfectfng a strong plan of organization on strict business prin- ciples that, fairly administered, would have guaranteed success. Money has been dis bursed too literally and recklessly and with little attention to the returns dherefor. Business has been conducted without sys- tenn and with small regard for the exact- ing and sovereign laws of trade.
 After carefully considering all these facts the conviction became settled and ab- soluto that past failures to permanently establish an annual flair in Alabama rested entirely with lax management and the ab- sence of strict business application. The more I considered and investigated the rich legacies in mineral wealth that our hills and mountains are constantly bequeathing to mankind and the marvellous agricultural yields from our rich valleys, with all the ailuring possibilities for the industrious, baoad-minded in the form of stock raising and fruit culture, the more firmly was 1 convinced that our beloved Alabama was second to no state in the union In ability to maintain a permanent, progressive organi- zation for the annual exposition and ad- vertisement of the products of her God-fa- vored land and cline to the ever hungry world and capital and labor.
 All of these facts, and many others, were presented in detail and sIgntficace,' at the
