history OF the old printing press in your

this press, q weekly edition. Mr.. Mowery
got into come difficulty with U. .. au-
thorties upon the breaking out OF our
civil war, and was sent prisoner to
Yuma, and the press was tnrDed over to
the late w. s. Oury. The paper was
suspended In 1867. About April one
pearce came TO Tucson, and borrowed
the press. and got out some three edi'
tions being himself good writer and
printer, but prosperity was too much
for him he went on time. got into q
train going TO Yuma after stores and
that was the last Of him In these parts.
s. A. DeLong then took the paper up
and published Ii upon the press some
eighteen months, having In the mean
time become owner oi the same by
purchase from Mr.. Mowery. When De-
Long went out the press was turned
over with paper 10 q Mr.. w. p. Dooner,

The country viii be more interested
in the dry concentrator mill that will
be erected at the Minnesota Connor

is guaranteed. A successful dry con-
centrator is worth more to Mohaye
county than anything else. Kingman
