PROSPECTS OF BENSON
Return of Mr. J. J. Sweeney From the
 Corner Stone Laying.

Grand Master John J. Sweeney re-
 turned yesterday morning from Benson where he went to officiata at the laying
 of the corner stone of the reform school
 Sunday. There was a good represen- tation of the Masonic bodies of the southern part of the territory. though Mir Sweeney was the only member from Phoenix. There were not less than eighty members present and alto gethel the exercises were witnessed by about 800 people. The ora ton of the day was delivered by District Attorney w. F. Cooper of Tucson. The corner stone is nlaid with marble and inn mortalizes on one side Architect Frost. Contractors Fifcld && Gallagher and the members of the board of trustees. C. F. | Schuma cIIer. II. Gerwsin and H. Bueh- man. The other face bears the names ! of Governor N O. Murphy and Grand Master Sweeney.
 The visitors Were well entertained by
 the people of Benson but the Tucson l delegation cf Masons took occasion to visit on the defenseless head of the grand master the sins of the people of Phoenix in carrying away the offices : of the marshal and the surveyor gen eral. Tn the course of all address lIr. : ]. NJ Clmsby of Tucson warned the in- habftants of Benson to chain down the pcstcfice until after AIr. Sweeney had gone.
 ! AIr. Sweeney believes that the future
 has much in store for Benson. Beside the reform school and the great devel Cpment of artesian water which has bacn going on in that country. there is | the coming Phoenix X Eastern railroad which will furnish an outlet to the north and add to the already splendid ! railroad facilities at that point. which l is really now the gateway to Sonora. Among the impending enterprises there 1 is one which the people of Phoenix 1 threw away with their customary prodigality in such matters. though ! they have gained the reputation of ! reaching out after things their neigh ! bors have. A. T. Pideon is construct ! ing a shelter which he tried to locate l here but could not get proper en- ! coura cement He got it at Benson and
 it will be in operation within three or i four months. The miners in that local [ ity are already getting out ore to feed
 it. It will have at the beginning q i capacity of 800 tons and will be in , creased as the business requires until : it is believed that it will intercept all
 the ores which are now going to Fl Paso. The principal manufacturing 2 enterprise now in operation at Benson is large brick making plant With
 the mines about it and the great cattle
 grazing region which surrounds it on
 all sides and it's immediately future
 prospects the people of Benson feel
 that they have the world by the caudal
