SHEEP IN ALABAMA.

Tn the May issue of The Southern Farm Magazine there was an article by J. B. Killebrew on the subject of sheep-grow- ing in the South, from which we take the following extract:
 It is doubtful if any part of Australia or of the Spanish peninsula offers any greater advantages for sheep husbandrv than the Southern States. Whether we consider the soil or the climate, the grasses or the forage plants. the rolling surfaces or the supplies of water and shade, the Southern States must be re- garded as an ideal place for the prosecu- ton Of this great industry. That scope of country embraced between the Ale ghaney mountains on the east and the Mississippi River on the west and lying south of the Ohio River, including the States of Kentucky and Tennessee, the northern parts of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi and to which may be added the Piedmont regions of Virginia North Carolina and South Carolina east of the mountains. present features that all flock masters recongnize as being important for the successful growth of their industry In this region the cold is not so severe during the winter as to make the feed ing of sheep a source of great concern nor is the heat of summer so intense as to work a degeneracy, after few generations, in the character of the feeces.
 Here is a question of serious concern to the people of Alabama, If they will but study it carefully. That all the North ern section of the State Is suited to sheep raising is beyond question. but this does not mean that they cannot be profitably raised in other sections of the State. It is a fact, however, that the hilly and mountainous regions are better adapted to this industry, and for this reason more than half of Alabama offers a fine field for a business that can assuredly be made profitable We do not know the present price of wool, and prices vary. as in everything else, but we note that the quotations for sheep in the Chicago mar ket run from $3.5o each for the lowest quality, or "culls" as they are called, up to as high as $7.5O each for the best and quotations in other markets of the North west were about he same. It is hardly necessary, we think, to say that sheen raising at such prices would be profitable in Alabama, but success and profit can come only through making sheep raising a business, substituting sheep for dogs, and going at the business systematically and inteiligently. And though We have intimated that the EN,re Northern section of Alabama might be better adapted to the industry than would the Southern. we note this query in The Dothan siftngs. as worthy of consideration;
 The Siftings does not unders tand why our farmers do not raise some sheep. There Is plenty pasturage in the country and many of our farm ITS could keep from 50 to 100 head of sheep at a very little expense and the returns would help to pay the expenses of a cotton crop.

Made the Railroad Pay
 For Right of Way

In the Globe. Silver Belt is given last week an account of the arrest of one Andre Maurel, who tore up a DOT tion of the track of the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railroad, because, as he alleged, the track was on his land and that the railroad company had never acquired any right of way which entitled them to go over it. The railroad claims the right of way over the land by grant from the gov ernment in 1895, before Maurei home steaded the land. Maurel was held. on an investigation before a justice of the peace, to answer before the next grand jury on a charge of placing an obstruction on railway. This is not the first experience of this kind in the history of the Gila Valley railroad.
 In 1895 President Garland, of that line, had an exxciting personal ex- perience just below the town of Saf- ford. The road had been built and the track laid across a tract of 160 acres of land owned by Patrick Sulli. van, who was a prominent citizen of Stafford. during the absence of that gentleman in California. When MT Sullivan returned, he found trains running over his land every day, but his bank account, did not show any recompense for the right of way

memorable one in many ways. Tn the first place, it revealed the Presi- dent to the country as one of the most eloquent, forceful and tactful short speech makers of its entire history. The speeches of the Harrison junket wers models of style, and their subject matter discloses much of the culture and polish of Harrison's splendid mind. In book form, they constitute the most popular volume of his col lected writings.
 In the second place, this junket re- vealed to the country a new desire, namely, to see the President occasion ally in person, and to hear from his lips a non-partisan discussion of the questions of the day. A radical change in public sentiment as it had existed at the time of Johnson came about, seemingly in a single day. and the journey which he made over the coun- course and as one of it's rights that which had been so severely criticized in the day just after the great civil war

 window was put in the lumber shack, commanding good view of the track in the direction of Bowie, from whence the enemy was expected next morning. The report had spread during the night and early morning that Sullivan had concluded to lock horns with grinding monopoly when the train came down from Bowie, and no less than a thousand people were assem- bled around Fort Sullivan" to see the result of the scrap.
 Fortunately, or unfortunately, Pres ident Garland, of the road, happened to be on the train that morning. As the train approached, the engineer whistled the signal to "clear the track" but Sullivan only poked his head through the window to give assurance that there was somebody at home. When the train stopped, Pres ident Garland alighted from the train

try he was simply the chief executive of great people, going from place to place for the purpose of stimulating in the public loftier patriotism, and drawing useful lessons for the na- tion's present and prospective great ness.
 Mckinley travelled on his tours more miles than all of his predeces- sors combined, and was seen by more people. No partisanship was dis played in any of these tours, and with that fine tact for which he was dis tinguished above all of his predeces- sors he adapted his addresses to the environment in which they were made, and while not compromising with his conscience, said nothing that would give oeffnse.
 Three long tours were made by President Mckinley. in addition to scores of minor ones. The first of his long tours was from Washington to Chicago, thence to Minnesota and the Dakotas, and thence back to Wash ington by way of Kansas City and St. Louis. The second was that remark able tour of the south, during which he said so many things which served to help men to forget the bitterness growing out of the great civil strife. The third was only partially com pleted.

Future of the District.

Although more or less mineraliZa- tion occurs at many points in the Mule mountains, there is little to in dicate that any deposits of copper ore will ever be found to approach in i'm portance those already known and awaiting discovery in the faulted lime stone syncline about Sacramento Hill. For over twenty years the Copper Queen mine has produced an average of more than 16,000,000 pounds of copper annually. Recently the Cal umet & Arizona company has begun energetic operations in ground almost surrounded by the property of the Copper Queen. Not only is there sufficient known ore in these mines to keep them in operation for many years to come, but there is no evi- dence that the bottom of the ore bearing ground has been reached in any of these extensive workings. Moreover, the statement may be ven tured that the specter of the lower lime" has hitherto had ali undue in f1uence in restricting prospecting to horizontal planes. There is certain ly a reasonable hope of finding ore bodies in the Devonian and Cambrian limestones beneath the masses that have been so profitably worked in the overlying Carboniferous beds.
 But more than this. it may be point ed out that lass than half of the semi circular mineralized zone about the ,orDhyrv mace of SapramaOt0 Hill ha c been explored at all. Ore was first discovered on the surface at Queen Hill. at the northwest end of the zone. From this discovery. developments have been pushed by underground ex- ploration, often with little or no sur face showing, to the south. There still remains, however, an extensive area of unknown but promising ground lying just south of Sacramen- to Hill and extending eastward toward the southeastern continuation of the great fault, which is here concealed by the basal conglomerate of the Creta- [ ceous series. This is the eastern half of the semicircular mineralized girdle about the intrusive mass of porphyry. It's exploration calls for no greater outlay or boldness than is already dis played in other parts of the district with less assured hope of reward
 In conclusion, it may be said that Bisbee is less likely to suffer from a lack of ore than from too rapid ex- haustion of the high-grade oxidized ores which are necessary for the eco

cation of the invaded rocks by the great fault. The latter probably con tinues to the southeast of the pcrphy " mass, but it is concealed in in this direction by the younger Cretaceous beds. The Paleozoic beds forming the faulted syncline are not merely fiexed. but are cut by many faults, some of them of considerable throw. These faults are, as far as seen, of the normal type.
 The ore occurs very irregularly as large masses within the limestone. The horizontal extent of these bodies is usually much greater than the yer tical. They are rudely tabular in form and lie generally parallel to the bedding planes of the limestone. As a rule the important ore bodies have been found within a distance of 1000 feet of the main porphyry mass or of the great fault Assure just northwest of the porphyry. In the Czar work ings of the Copper Queen mine, partly under the town of Bis5es, ore bodies have been worked from the surface down to depth of about 400 feet. bat toward the southwest the bulk of the ore occurs at increasing depths. In the Calumet and Arizona mine, about $500 feet south of the Czar, no large ore bodies were encountered until the shaft had penetrated about 500 feet

PRESIDENTIAL TOURING

ing the people; but all this was an afterthought, and was not in his mind when he left the White House.
 Garfield during the few months he was in office was not out of Washing ton. He was at the Pennsylvania depot one morning in early July, 1881, to take a train for Baltimore, when he fell by the assassin's bullet
 Arthur, who succeeded him. left no record of tours of any sort, his occa- sional absences from Washington be- ing due to calls of private business character to New York city.
 The first long trip ever made by a President was made by Cleveland in the fall of 1888, during his first term, shortly after his marriage. John sons swing around the circle" was confined to the country east of the Alleghanies and north of Maryland and West Virginia. It lasted only few days, and the total mileage was very small, compared with what later Presidents have done. Cleveland went as far west as the Missouri river, and as far north as the cities of Min neapolis and St. Paul, in Minnesota. He touched at Omaha, St. Joseph and Kansas City, on the Missouri, and then crossed the state to St. Louis, from which point he returned to Washington by the Ohio river route, making frequent stops. On the way west, by the northerly route, he visit ed Chicago, Milwaukee and the chief cities of Ohio and Indiana He was away from Washington about three weeks. and covered about 2,5OO miles. This one long trip was the only one of consequence made by him as Presi- dent, during either of his terms. He went occasionally on hunting and fish ing trips to the rivers and bays near the coast, and within easy reach of Washington, but on these occasions he was invisible to the public and away from the scrutinizing gaze of the correspondents
 President Harrison took up the presidential junket where it had been left off by Cleveland during the lat ter's first term, and added to it both in the number of miles travelled and in the number and importance Of speeches made. The Harrison junket there was but one of them-was a

!, that it be returned to Solomonville
 As the train backed away there was shout of 'Hurrah for Sullivan" At Solomonville warrants were sworn out
 for the arrest of Sullivan. and also Mrs. Sullivan, who had joined her
 husband in the fort, and who had ex-
 pressed as much determination to re- main in it until a satisfactory right of way settlement was had, as her hus-
 band. Officers went to the scene of the trouble and arrested MT. and Mrs. Sullivan, and while they ,were at Solo, monville arranging bonds, which were readily forthcoming and with substan- tial sureties, the railroad men re- moved the improvised house and the train passed on to Pima and back to Bowie in the afternoon.
 The next morning the house was back across the track, and the same performance of arresting the Sulivans
 and tearing it down again was gone through with. Then MT. Garland
 went before the district judge and
 procured an injunction prohibiting the further obstruction of the railroad track by MT. Sullivan. In the trail of this suit, the question of right of way
 and it's value to MT Sullivan was ad- | justed, and a verdict went against the railroad company for the amount
 named by the jury, which was paid.
