A Frontier Jail.

Graham county jail, at Clifton, Ariz.,
is unique. 1t comprises four large
apartments hewn from the solid
quartz rock of hillside. The en-
trance is through box-like vestibule
of heavy masonry and equipped with
three sets of steel gates. The floor
of the rockbound jail is of cement, and
the prisoners are confined exclusively
in the larger rooms. Some of the
most desperate criminals on the
southwest border have been confined
in the Clifton jail and so solid and
heavy are the barriers to escape that
no one there has ever attempted a
break for freedom. The notorious
Black Jack was there for months. The
wall of quartz about the jail is fifteen
feet thick. Clifton is one of the great
copper mining camps in Arizona, and
has the reputation of being as depray-
ed community as yet exists on the
frontier of civilization. In summer
the mercury there frequently rises
to 100 in the shade and in the winter
it never goes below 40 degrees.

George Carmack, the man who discov-

pleted the longest and most difficult
automobile trip on record. Carmack.
accompanied by his wife. arrived in San
Francisco the other night from Seattle.
safe, sound and happy. and neither they
nor the machine showed any effects of
the long trip other than from exposure
to sun and wind, says the San Francis
co Chronicle.
Not an accident of any kind happened
although the cycle meter showed run
of asS%. miles. and il there was a road
map 1t would show that the machine
went where two-horse team could
not take wagon.
Mrs. Carmack is as enthusiastic an
automobilist as is her husband. She
laughs often as she talks of their tour,
and is as technical in her language as
the builder of the machine could be.
She knows the machine thoroughly and
says it is not strange that she does, for
they lived in it for month. The trip
was an outing. They carried their own
tent and provisions and ate and camped
along the road wherever fancy took
them. They left Seattle on August 81.
but Carmack says they were really
travelling only about twenty days.
They were not out for records, and the
highest daily runs were not more than
sixty-five miles.
Some of the grades were so heavy"
Carmack said, that the automobile slid
down without the wheels moving. put
on the brake. reversed the lever and
turned the power on so that we simply
had to slide down. The machine weighs
ton itself. and we had 200 pounds of
luggage, about 200 pounds of water. 100
pounds of gasoline and ourselves. so
you can guess how steep the road was"
