tile up into 12,O00 clothespins. It will take the man two hours and a half to chew that log up into clothespins, which is at the rate Of 4,S00 an hour. But when they are all cut out they are worth $96.4O to the maker. He will work ten hours a day if he is smart, and will get away with four of these logs. Its easy figuring to find out that he will then have on hand 4S,000 clothes pins, worth s3S560 if they're worth q cent
 The lumber for those pins has cost only SS. providing the man wasn't stuck in buying it. Now, if that was all the expense, the man with a clothespin fac tory would be a blamed sight better off than if he owned a coal mine But those logs have to run the gauntlet of q good deal of machinery before they are full-hedged clOthespins. A saw sepa- rats the log into lengths of sixteen inches; another one saws these blocks into boards three-quarters of an inch thick; a third saw reduces the boards to strips three-quarIers of an inch square. These little; strips are pushed to big wheel which hurri5s them to a gang of other saws, where they are chopped into clothespin lengths quick CT than a sausage machine can chew up carried by q swift moving belt to a ma chine which grabs them and sets them in lathe. The lathe gives them their

shape in the twinkling of an eye and throws them to the man, who feeds them to still another saw which moves backward and forward as if it were nladder than a snake. This saw chews out the slot that the .washerwoman is to shove down over the clothes on the line one of these days. and the clothes pin is ready, all except kiln drying and polishing. Kiln drying knocks the sap out of the wood and the polishing is done by letting the clothespins rub against themselves in a revolving iron cylinder.
 All these processes cost money. and when the manufacturer comes to put up his goods for sale he finds that his profit on the 4S.000 pins. or a days hard work, is only about $193.00. I pay the manufacturer one cent a dozen. or about eighty-four cents a thousand. and, really, in these tight times I am compelled to sell them for four cents a dozen, or $3,36 thousand, which would not be so bad if I sold a dozen every hour or so. But with care a thousand clOthespins will stay by me a month or two. and l even have had th= m with me a whole year. Chinese cheap labor is pelting the life out of the clothespin trade. for Ling Sing and Wua Lung don't use clOthespins in their laundries, and they're washing about all the clothes that are being washed it seems to me, nowadays" Tribune.

THAT WATER MEETING
It Should Be a Day to Remember In
 This County.

The Salt River valley is unquestion- ably one of the richest agricultural re- glons in the world, made so by irriga- uon- But it has reached the limit of development in that line until some provision is made for an ample water supply. Thes2 two facts are admitted by all. It must also be admitted that the agitation of the question of reser- Nolr construction was brought before the people by The Republican none too soon. The question of reservoir build ing has ben talked of in a general way for years; it has beer the subject of oc- caSlona! newspaper articles. and il has been referred to from time to time from the platf rm. But with the relieving of each succeeding 'preseai necessity" it has been pushed aside for something more sensa tionllly interesting.
 The severity of he recent Grouth. however has awakened the public to the necessity of immediate action and this paper has taken the initiative in arousi1g tho.e most inte. ested to the performance of this dvtr. IL can now be said that all are united on the ob- ject to be attained. and the only ques- tiOn is how to proceed. For the pur- pose of d full discussion of the subject and a fair, free and open presentation of the question in all its phases, a pub- lie meeting has been called at the re- quest of representative farmers and

belt, russet shoes and a flowing silk neck scarf. Frank Damrosch, at the suggestion of the women of the chorus, removed his coat while conducting a rehearsal, and it is reported that w. K Vanderbilt dined publicly at the Wal dorf-Astorla coatless. It has also been reported that the Waldorf-As- toria would never tolerate the innovation. It will be hardly surprising if the fad becomes gene ral rage in the next hot summer
 Such being the cours of things in New York and in Boston. it is hardly worth V hile for Chicago to fight. The man in his shirt sleeves may yet prove himself the king pin in the city as in the hayfields and the short-waist youth be a worthy beau fol the shirt waist girl.
 And upon 1t all the Arizonian looks and smiles, and we'll he may, for he was the original shirt-waist man. From time immemorial, down in this corner of the earth, the coatless man has been the proper caper, if the slang be per missable. He has worked without a coat, eaten his meals jacketless. made love in his shirt sleeves, and expects to enter the heavenly gates above, a suppliant before St. Peter. attired in naught else but linen trousers, a shirt waist and the minor accessories to a complete garb. Never has there been an attempt to taboo tEa Arizona shirt waist man, and woe De it to he who tries. Just as good and as well bred men walk the streets of happy-go-easy Phoenix as tread the devious thorough fares of aesthetic Boston, and a cOnclu sion may be gathered from one of two theories: either the Arizona man is bet ter built and thusly better able to dis play his form to quizzical eye, or the seat and cent-r CT wisdom has been transported from the city of beans and blue laws to the southwestern source Of knowledge and wealth,

A MOTHERS QUEER QUEST.

Mrs. Ewing, of Salt Lake City, came this week. Her misison here was for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the bOGy of her fiVe-year-old son, buried forty years ago was petri- fled.
 Mrs. Ewing was formerly the wife Cf record during the civil War. At the outbreak of the reb llion he enlisted and went to the front, leaving behind his wife and child. Soon afterward the boy died and was buried in the lot at the residence. Two years later the re- mains were disinterred and were bur jed in Oakland cemetery. When the casket was removed from the grave it was found to be as heavy as stone. The lid was lifted and the remains were found t. be in state of perfect pres ,rvation and ltoked as natural as when life took it's flight. The body was so heavy that those who saw and handled it said it was turning to stone. It was a dark and bloody time when this little occurrence took place, and the father of the child was amid dang IFS of the south and the mother did not care to have further examination made. Shortly af- ter the body was eXhumed Mrs. Ewing, then Mrs. Granger, left the city. The general died and she married again, and is now a resident of Salt Lake City. Ever since the body was eXhumed for

FOUND N. c. WILSON
Message From Flagstaff Says He Is
 Alive and Well.

MT N. C. Wilson of Phoenix, who has been lost in the Clear Creek country, and for whom practically all hope had been given up by his friends here, has been found. The news came yesterday in telegram from Flagstaff and gave no further particulars, but was suffi- cent to carry joy to the hearts of the thousands of people who had scarcely dared to believe MT. Wilson alive. The message follows:
 Flagstaff. Arz., Aug 23. TT. T Powers. Phoenix:
 Wilson alive and well. Have wired Dalles and Lyons. A. T. FIRTH"
 MT. Wilson left home June 1, accom- panied by Allan James and George Lyke, for a visit to the Grand Canyon. pr. Wylie met the party three weeks ago and they started on q trip through the country between Flagstaff and Tonto Basin. On Wednesday afternoon of last week MT. Wilson left camp for d short hunt and had not been found on Saturday, when his companions wrote a letter telling of his misfortune and sent it to Flagstaff, from where it was wired, last Wednesday. to Phoenix.
 MT. Wilson was in his shirt sleeves and had but six gun cartridges and q little water. When he did not return tD camp a search was instituted, but heavy rains had washed out the tra'l. On Wednesday d telegram was sent to MT. Powers MT. Wilson's brother-in-law. in this city, telling of the loss and the search. MT. Wilson's health is not good and it was feared here that he could not survive the riGors of the weather. Virtually the only hope for his safety lay in the probability that he might have wandered into a mining camp or found some other shelter until found by his friends and such was likely the case. Messages had been sent to rela- tives at Dalles, Ore, and at Lyons, Kansas. and it was to contradictions to these dispatches that the telegram of yesterday refers.

VICTORY FOR SHIRT WAISTS
Eastern Styles Follow Fashions Set
 In Arizona.

Dispatches from the east bring glori- ous news. The shirt-waist man has won. By the side of this momentous matter, national and world problems fade into palest insignificance. The Yellow Peril sinks to second place, the Boer un- pleasantness dWindlas to worthless nothingness, the Filipino misunder- standing drops to oblivion and presiden- tial possibilities have no place.
 He fought a good fight and won it well: the shirt-waist man.
 The controversy was an interesting thing. It started as hoax, piece of midsummer newspaper foolishness to fill the vacancy of last summers kiss ing bug. Beginning as a joke it ended in all seriousness.
 Several times have men without coats been elected from dining rooms, in the east, and the conservatives have re- joiced: but now the shirt waist male has turned. He has shown pluck worthy of his cause, and one of the swell res taurants of Chicago will have to go into court and show why it p- 4sumes to ex- clude coatless men from its halls. The damages asked are $50, 900, and while that seems an excessive amount to ask for SO small a wrong as that of refus- ing to serve a wayfarer with viands at fancy prices, it is perhaps none too much for the dignity of the occasion.
 IL is to be noted that the fight for the preservation Ot the coat is waged mainly in Chicago. New York appears to have surrendered willingly to the shirt waist-indeed. it said she has even welcomed it as thing altogether lovely and more to be desired during midsum- mer than a coat of many colors.

FINDING FOSSIL FISH.
They Date Back Four Million Years
 New Jersey Was Then Submerged.


 The scientific world has been greatly interested of late in the geological dis coverics made by Prof. John Hayes Smith, teacher of geology and chemis- try in the MOntclaire, N. J., high school. In the blue shades of valley a few miles from Montclair were found fos- sil fish of d kind which is now almost extinct, only three specimens now sur Yiving. They belong to the order of ganOiGs. which possessed no interior pony skeleton, but only an outside lowering of bOny pr cartilaginOus plates. They were the earliest known vertebrates. A number of excellent specimens in the possession of Prof. Smith show distinctly the shining bOny scales of this peculiar species of fish which, according to geOlOgists must have existed ages ago. The term ga noid was applied because of the form of tha scales, which in most species are angular. square or rhombOidal, as seen in the common garpikes. In prehis- tcrir times the ganoids were numerous in species. genera and famili :, and they. with sharks, were rulers of the saa. To d visitor last week Prof smith said:

MODEL SCHOOL AT DAHLONEGA.
big Gold Mining Company Is Get
ting in Its Plant.

Dahlonega, Ga, Jan. 20-Dr. Curry has
provided funds for the Model School at the
college here, whereby it can be carried on,
and teachers of rural and other schools
can enter al any time during the spring
term and have the advantage of this
school, as well as take studies in the
higher branches. This is an unexceled
opportunity for the teachers of Georgia
to improve themselves and prepare for
the summer examination, and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that a great many will
avail themselves of it.
The directors of the Dahlonega Consoli-
date Gold Mining Company now think that
they will have their plant in operation
within the next six weeks, but this de-
ponds somewhat on the weather, as there
is much work to be done outside. This
company has near completion one of the
most extensive and up to-date stamp mills
in the country. The mill will run 100
stamps of $50 pounds weight and will have
a capacity of milling from 500 to 700 tons of
ore per day. Connected with this mill is
a chlorination plant having capacity of
sixty tons daily. This will be sufficient
to chlorinate the concentrates from three
mills of this capacity, or $50 stamps. The
machinery will all be operated by water
power, that being one of the great adj
vantages that gold mining in this field en-
joys over many other mining localities.
This mill was practically commenced in
June. 1t contains over 100000 feet of
timber, all of which was growing in the
forest eight months ago In the building
are over seVenty-fve carloads of machin-
cry. which had to be hauled on wagons
from Gainesville, the nearest railway sta
ton, a distance of twenty-five miles over
Al ~
foundations and substructure contain
about 10000 perches of stone masonry.
This company has 5000 acres of land
around Dahlonega, embracing greater
part of the best mines in the county. Inc
ores are largely sulphurretted, and chlorl-
nation and cyanide are the processes USED
for extracting gold. Large bodies of ore
are developed, exhibiting some twenty or
thirty veins from three to four feet deep.
Some extends even 300 feet into the bowels
of the earth. Many are said by experts
to be true fissure veins. Hundreds or as
says have been made and il is believed
that these ores will average so per ton
Nearly all the officers and stockholders
of the company are men from the North
and West J. w. Adams of Chattanooga,
Tenn is president of the company; G. w.
Breymann, Toledo. o., vice president; car
ter Thompson, Dahlonega, secretary ana
