THE ONYX FIELDS.

Within talking distance of Mayer lays one of the greatest and most beautiful deposits of onyx in all the known world. So much prominence in the past has been given this par tIcular industry in so far as the magniGcence Of its beds go, and the sale thereof a few years ago for a vast sum, that the future of the same will be mentioned again, and likewise will the uncoveriug of addi- tiOnal and new ground be lightly spoken of. It Is stated on reliable authority that the Arizona Onyx company has lately decided to re- sume work at once. and for the pur- pose of successfully operating and carrying out the object of the work outlined some months ago, will erect new buildings equipped with mod ern machinery to handle the pro- duct, in saving and polishing the same. The cost of the plant is said to be over S50,000. When under headway large force will be main tained, and in consequence will Mayer correspondingly prosper The ground covered by this com pany is of great area, some BOG acres, and averages in depth of onyx over thirty feet.
 Tn line with this industry may also be mentioned the recent discov- er7 in adjoining ground of another onyx deposit of some 120 acres 1T extent, by Daniel Bowen, that is ere ating a great deal of interest in the variety and quality of the deposit: uncovered. On claim No. 1, whict adjoins the original location, anC laying below, down the hill, con cealed under the grass roots anC soft loam, some of the most beauti ful and variegated stone ever placed before the eye is being quarried Experts pronounce the product hert to be the finest on the mesa, anC samples on exhibition certainly bea out this assertion. On claim No. another specie of onyx has also beer recently uncovered of an African O.
 bandit grain, as it is called. Moth ing but this variety has been uncov cred on this claim. On claim No. l. another surprise meets one in one' rambles in beholding a distinctiv' type of the wonderful doings of na | ture, in the shape of block onyx that is as bewildering as it is beauti ful. Many who have seen this par ticular stone seem to have a decided preference for it over all others MT. Bowen, who with Bert Mayer i interested in these claims, has don thousands of feet of developmen

WASHINGTON.

LIKES H. H. B. s SUGGESTION.
 Editor THE BEE: rather like Fl. H. B.'s "West Washington suggestion (who, I understand, is Washington Brinsmade, living West somewhere). It has certain dignity and substantially that other pames suggested do not possess-is cogent, forceful. descriptive and correct. His arguments are to the point, and there is little to be added. The property takes in all to the New Preston line. It has symmetry, consis- tency and concord. Can't we unite on West Washington? Give us most any, thing but "Derot" for the name of so beautiful place as ours. But Washing tondale is equally descriptive and doubt less some would prefer it. But Ohl for some public spirited, energetic person (more nimble than I) to take the matter up and canvass the village with petition and find out what majority would like I would do it if were younger and stronger.-[A.
