tied forever after coming to Fair
View. Eleven years ago there was
not a christian here nor even a ma
tive who wore clothes. now we have
all of the above and have dedicated
q church built entirely by the natives.
They made and carried many If not
all of the brick in the building and
have paid in money. about $500. in
the last four or five years. The first
ear they gave about fifty dollars,
and that amount from people whose
wages are about 20 cents a day is
as much as several hundred dollars
be at home. The second year they
gave about sixty dollars, the third
one hundred and this year in collec-
lions and subscriptions two hundred
and fifty dollars. 1t seems hardly
possible. At our quarterly meeting
a few weeks ago they gave for the
above chapel twenty-five dollars in
cash. Last Sabbath morning the
superintendent of the mission, Rev.
j. p. Brodhead, stated that twenty
five dollars were still needed and in
a few moments without any waiting
or coaxing whatever We had just
twice as much as was needed in
cash and good NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

gave too as If they enjoyed it. After
the dedicatory sermon the chapel
was formally given to God and His
presence filled the house in a very
wonderful manner. While We have
many christianse here tn number
around us who are still in darkness

MISSION WORK IN SOUTH AZ
RIGA,

Dear Friends of "Old Forest:
About a month ago while sitting
on the beach of the Indian ocean,
where we had taken the school for
days outing. | started a letter to
you but failed to finish it, so | will
try again. | can hardly realize when
think how fast time has gone that
have been in Africa nearly two
months. After so long a delay a
description of my welcome to Fair
View would seem stale, so | will tell
a little about the country and people.
Durham is our nearest port for large
vessels and is an English town with
street cars and other improvements
that remind one of America. Fair
View mission station is about fifty
miles south of Durham on a high hill
and overlooks the Indian ocean. BY
air line we are less than a mile from
the ocean and have a fine view OF
the sea and ships that pass and much
of the time we can hear the waves
as they break on the shore. The
railroad running from Cape Town tc
Durham along the coast, is, to drive
not more than a mile and half from
us. The country here is very rough
and the hills are generally yer,
steep and the slopes so irregular
that do not know how to describ'

On Thursday, August 2Sth, the J.

mic and ball at Central park. Through
out the day the ladies served tempt
ing viands from their generous bas-

played about the grounds. At $3.50
o'clock dancing commenced. The
bright dresses of the ladies, inter.
mingled with the darker clothing
worn by the gentlemen, and here and
there the uniform of Uncle Sans
boys, made very pretty sight. Ev
cry one reported having had a very
nice time. At late hour the merry
gathering boarded the last car fol

DR.. A. M. Brown, a colored ply

a fortune by inventing a new car for

According to that paper DR.. Brown
has sold the right to make and sell
them in five states to the Chattanoo-

ceiving royalty on ali that are sold.
The purchasing company says that
the royalties alone will amount to
about $4,000 a year. Several large

Pioneer River Captain
Notes TuCSOn'S Growth

CAPTAIN J. A, Mellon, familiarly
known 20 the old-timeTs of the Col
orado river section Of Arizona as
jack is up from Yuma. 1t is the
first time Captain Mellon has been in
Tucson for three years, and he notes
with surpise the very many impovo-
ments that have occurred. He is a
true Arizonian and the progress Of Tue
son, in common with other sections of
the Territory, delights him.
Forty years ago Captain Melon went
10 Yuma, and from that tine to this he
has been boating on the Colorado, most
of the time being associated with Cap
tain Isaac Polhamus, another of the
Territory's pioneers. Together they
now operate the largest line of steam
ers on the river, and preach the virtues
and merits of Yuma wherever they go.
Captain Jack is just recovering
from a serious and almost fatal river
Iaccident sustained last fall, while oper-
ating his boat. the Cochan, at a point
above the Needles. None but the
hardest sort Of frontiersman would
have recovered from such a hurt as he
received, one of his legs having been
broken, his left arm broken in two
places, collar bone fractured and TWO
ribs broken. But he is rapidly becom-
ing himself again.
Captain Mellon returns To Yuma this
evening.

Great Cyanide Plant

One OF the most widely known Ax-

and will resume operations in this vi
entity. W. II. Hill is not unknown
TO Tucson. as he has lived in this sec
/, ton OFF and on for several years. He
mas made a specially of. installing cy-
&nide plants, and his fine work is in
evidence in nearly every section OF
Arizona
Mr. Hill has been experimenting the
construction Of the largest cyanide
plant in the world. 1t is located at
Pichaco, about twenty-eight miles
above Yuma. on the California side of
the Colorado river This immense
Fplant will have a daily capacity of H. 600
tons, II covers several acres of ground.
is equipped with the very latest and
most impoved type of modern ma
fchinery. No expense has been spared
in the details, and any device that
might add TO the saving of the yellow
metal has been added. 1t will take
about three months yet to get the plant
in running order but once started it
vii certainly be one of the wonders
of Yuma county.
These works are being erected by the
California Gold King Mining company.
This corporation was organized by the
well known promoter. Senator Stephen
A. Dorsey. He disposed of his inter-
est, however. there recently to Ex-
Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota,
and other eastern capitalists. The
company is preparing to operate its
properties on an extensive scale The
mines are located about FIVE miles
from the river in San Diego county.
A narrow gauge road is being con-
structed from the main shaft down to
the mill on the river. The property
is low grade proposition. hut there is
veritable mountain OF ore which can
be run through the mill Everything
about the new camp is being done on a
mavelous scale. a line of steamers
plying on the river will handle the
bullion from and the freight to the
mines. Pichaco is destined to be one
OF the richest and largest camps IN
the southwest.

however, that Tucson did not start

course this could not very we'll be an
exception.
The merchants started to trim their
windows last evening with appropriate
designs. Early this morning the res

Of the national colors, and the stars
and stripes were floating in the breeze
from most Of the buildings. All the
business houses and public offices were
closed in recognition of the day.
Young America was very much in evil
dence throughout the day. The fire
boys made great spread In the City
Park in the afternoon for their young
friends Ice cream, lemonade and cake
were dished out until every yOungster
haG his fiji. The boys and girls en-
joyed the treat immensely, and the
firemen won their undying friendship.
The patriotic exercises were opened
in the park by band concert at 2
O'Clock A long and excellent pro-
gram, including most of the patriotic
airs was rendered by the Philharmonic
band. A large crowd collected to hear
the concert, and 1t is safe to say that
the music was enjoyed by every one.
The Declaration OF Independence was
read In clear voice from the band
stad by Arthur Mcneil. Mayor Sehu-
macher made few appropriate re-
marks. and said he was glad that the
old pueblo had shown its patriotism as
usual Fire Chief Russell closed the
exercises with a patriotic little talk
to the young people OF the city, and In
vted them all to be present at the fes-
tival which the firemen had prepared.
The small boy with the big fire.
cracker made his appearance as usual
today. and kept every one on the look
out. There will be no big display at
any one point this evening, still the
endless cannonade about town would
indicate brisk sale OF fireworks, and
the residents. without a. doubt, will
send up enough tonight to keep the
heavens ablaze.
