CHAPTER Y (contInued9

Not that shots were uncommon in
San Jose by any means for where men
carry arms continually it is only natu-
raj that an occasional explosion oc-
ours.
But there was something peculiar
about this discharged came in the
midst of silence, and seemed, as indeed
it must be, a signal.
Jack struck match and lit his pipe.
1t was none of his funeral, any way,
and if on the morrow the good people
of Gautarica woke up under another
dynasty, why that was their lookout.
The recollection of Barrajo gave Jack
something of a shock, for he remem-
bered the expressed determination of
the general that he should be made g
full-hedged citizen of the stormy little
republic, with all the rights and privi-
leges that citizenship implied.
Could that mean duties, too?"
Would he be expected to sally forth
and join in the game of hide and seek.
of shooting at one who wore the rival
colors, whether in arms or endeavoring
to escape?
He guessed not. Still he dared not
go to sleep-who would care to do so
when a volcano was in eruption all
around?-and the night gradually
wore away.
The clamor died away a dozen times
only to break out afresh.
At last, dawn.
Jack Overton was jolly glad to see
it arrive through the little window.
He devoutly prayed he might not
pass another such night for a long
time to come.
Somehow, he could not but speculate
as to the complexion of the new dynas
ty, and what effect, if any, the change
might have on his fortunes.
Then came a heavy rap on the door
"a rap he knew full well could pro-
ceed from no other than Barrajo. So
Overton, pipe still in hand, stepped
over to the door and opened it.
He had no sooner done so than a
mighty cheer went up from more than
two score of throats.
Jack stared in amazement, for he
realized that the whole army of the re-
public was represented in that double
line of shouting and gesticulating
troops, some of them barefooted, 9TH
ers most gorgeously appareled, and all
carrying arms.
General Barrajo stood there, smiling
and bowling
To say that Overton was surprised,
would be expressing it mildIy-he
could not for the life of him under
stand why the general wanted to mar
shall his ragtag and bobtail army be-
fore his little domicile in order to tell
him who was in and who was "out"
at the palace. To Barrajo he must
look for an explanation, and when a
wave of that heros sword again
brought silence upon the scene, Jack
fastened to ask:
what does this mean, general?"
"They want a speech, Senior Overton
it is customary
'Then why don't you give it to
them?"
'Por Dios 1t is not Barrajo they
wish to hear. Every day I make them
a speech and swear at them in six Ian
guages. 1t is you, senior, you alone,
they clamor to hear"
Good heavens! why should / ad-
dress your old army?" demanded Jack,
aghast, and with growing uneasiness.
Because, Senior Overton, you have
been appointed to rule over us-last
night you ceased to be a plain citizen
and became the President of Gautarica
Republie!"

Public Land in Arizona.

There is plenty of available public land that can be cultivat- ed in Arizona. The Globe Silver Belt says;
 "Out of about =. .000, GOO acres of land in Arizona only about , 5,700,000 are privately owned, of which 450,O00 acres are under irrigation ditches. For the to- tai amount of land under ditch there Is not sufficient water in all instances to secure crops, but in time there can be little doubt that the storage and develop ment of water will lead to the successful irrigation of much more than the present area un- der ditch. There is one acre in sixteen under private ownership, the balance public land. Of the land in private ownership one acre in thirteen is under irrigat- ing canals. Of all the land in the territory only one acre in two hundred is under irrigating canals"

Fluorspar in Yuma County.

The following is from a report iss1ed by the United States Geo logical Survey:
 ''In the vicinity of Dome, Yuma county, Arizona, nuorspar occurs abundantly. If the demand for duorspar for smelling purposes increases, there will be market for these Arizona deposits. Formerly the chief use of fluor- spar was in the preparation Of hydrofuOric acid, but only a small amount is now used for this purpose.
 ''The use of fuorSpar in the manufacture of opalescent glass is increasing. By far the great est use of fuorspar is as fux for iron, in which use many ad : vantages are claimed for it and it is rapidly superseding lime stone. Fluorspar can be used to advantage, probably, in cop per smelting and in reducing many other metals. The total production of fuorspar in 1901 was 19, 956 short tons, valued at Si13, 603, as compared with 18,- 450 tons, valued at S94, 800 in 1900. The average price per ton reported for the product of 1901 was S5, the same as in 1900. The amount of the ground fuorspar sold in 1901 was 3700 tons, val ued at S34, 100 as compared with 5000 tons, valued at S17,000 in 1900, an increase of 700 tons in amount, but of $17. 100 in value, the increase being due to the low price of ground luorspar in 1900, which was only$5. 66 per ton; whereas, in 1901, the aver age price reported for ground fuOrSpar was S9.03."

Another Yuma Survey.

[ At the instance of B. P. Che ney, president of the San Diego Land and Town Company, the San Diego Eastern Railroad Company will undertake another survey to Yuma as soon as the present one is finished. The new survey will proceed for the most part south of the interna
 tional Boundary line, in Mexican territory. The surveying party will be made up of the members of Engineer Richards party, un- der the direction of Engineer Savage. It will be a hurried stadia survey, running the lines much quicker than is possible in any other way, and the engineer expects to reach Yuma in less than a month after starting. The idea is to determine upon the feasibility of such line as many of the members of the committee believe that it will be better, with easier gradients than the other. It will be left for any company or individual who may undertake construction to decide between the two routes. rlr. Richards in running his line was under instructions to keep on this side of the boundary, and did so.--San Diego Cores pondence of Los Angeles Times.

It Is reported that the Santa Fe contemplates the construc- ton of a railroad over the much talked-of route between Phoenix and Yuma to connect with the Phoenix and Eastern road, which this company has decided to build. By connecting with their own lines at either Deming or El Paso, the Santa Fe would complete the project abandoned by the Rock Island after it was absorbed by the Hartman inter ests. The building of such a road should give the people of Tucson much concern. Is this city to stand idly by and see railroads built all around it with out making the least effort to try to secure any of them? The mer- chants of Tucson are beginning to realize that the greatest need of this city is increased railroad facilities, and that the new Phoenix & Eastern road when built will retard the growth of Tucson and take away great deal of her outside trade. Can't something be done to secure an other railroad? Is Phoenix to checkmate Tucson with the new line to BensOn?-Post.

A Word to the "KnoCkerS."

There is no reasonable excuse for man living in a town if he doesn't like it. If you have no word of commendation to say for your town, it's institutions or it's people, emigrate You won't stop the course of events by go- ing away, neither will your carp ing criticism, cut any figure if you remain. The church bells will have the same musical ring, the dogs will play just as brisk ly, the fish will bite just as well, and the pure air and bright sun shine will have the same health giving properties. Speak good word for your neighbors if you can; if you can't, don't everlast- ingly enlarge on their faults. If you have become thoroughly sour and disgusted and can't see any good in your town, move away; go somewhere where you can be suited. Leader, San MateO.
