The Cochise Review makes an at
tack on the maintaining Of two nor
NAL scoools in the territory. The
Review does not give the subject
the consideration it deserves. The
Northern Arizona Normal building
was constructed for a reform school.
There being no need for such an
institution within the territory the
twentieth legislature, after due con-
sideration, very wisely decided to
make it an educational institution.
While Arizona has two normal
schools both are creditable institu-
tions and both are needed. This
territory of ours is one of magnifi-
cent dist ances as we'll as Of variety
Of climate. Prior to the establish
ing of the Flagstaff normal, the
northern counties possessed no edu-
cational advantages, and cert ainly
this vast section was entitled to the
just recognition given it by the
twentieth legislature, and time will
demonstrate the wisdom of their
action. The establishment and
maintenance of an educational in
stitution can never be classed as aa
act of foily.-Coconino Sun.

A PHOENIX correspondent of a
New York paper tells of a company
of California and Arizona capitalists
which has formed for the very
unique purpose of conducting a
Belgian hare ranch, in connection
with large canning plant, where
hare meat can be prepared for the
market. 1t is intended that tract
of $40 acres be secured and stocked
with hares. 1t is estimated that
100000 hares can be comfortably
cared for and it is intended that a
factory be erected of sufficient size
to slaughter and pack about 1000
hares each day.

ROADS COVERED WITH GOLD.
A Remarkable Discovery In Fulton
County Leads to Great Excitement.

A dispatch from McConnellsburg
says: Thompson township, Fulton
county, undoubtedly has the most val
liable roads in the United States.
They are vertically paved with gold
and silver. This unique use of the
precious metals was not intentional,
however, but arose from the igno-
rance of the people as to the fact that
the brick they were using for road
improvement was so valuable.
The roads have been paved, or ma
cadamized with tons and tons of min
eral rock, and nearly the whole county
is ablaze with excitement over the
discovery that some of this rock as
says $4. go per ton in gold and silver.
Joseph III. Covalt, of Thompson,
was in McConnelsburg Wednesday and
he said prospectors would begin the
DEVELOPMENT of the minerals in that
section on the 18th of this month. He
owns $50 acres upon which have been
found gold, silver, iron ore and a
valuable quality of magnesia. Tons
of this latter have also been used ON
the thoroughfares in the whole lower
end of Fulton county.
Mr.. Covalt says he picked up at ran
dom on the roads large lot of speci-
mems and sent them to an assayist
whose analysis showed from $l.75 to
81. 60 in gold.
Thousands of acres of land in the
township have been leased by capital
lists from distance who will push the
work of DEVELOPMENT and see what
the mineral resources of Fulton coun-
ty really are A great future seems
to he dawning for the county.
