 Ruth Properties.

Yesterday the Fl Tigre company closed a contract in Douglas with big machinery house for machinery to be used in the fifty-ton concentrat- ing mill to be erected without delay at the Fl Tigre mine, fifty miles south of Douglas, in Sonora. The machinery will cost in cne neighborhood of forty thousand dollars.

In the devel- opment work done at the Fl Tigre, besides the high grade ore. 2 very large amount of lower grade ores have been piled on the dumps to be milled on the ground. The mill will have a capacity of fifty tons per day and will include what is known as the cyanide process which is recommended after very careful investigation by skilled metalurgists as the best process for treatment of the Fl Tigre ore. The machinery contract made on yesterday calls for the delivery of the machinery at Yzabel station on the Nacozari railroad. within fifty days from the date of contract.

DOUGLAS COMPANY FAILS.
Stock of Goods turned Over to Coppe
 Queen Store Yesterday.

The Douglas Grocery company. which has been doing business iD Douglas for the past two years, failed yesterday and turned all goods on hand over to the Copper Queen store.
 The liabilities of the company are said to be in the neighborhood of s2,000. The largest creditors are Copper Queen store, to whom they are indebted about ss00. and the Lesinski Co, of Fl Paso. whom they owe about $500.
 This failure comes as a surprise to many as it was thought this firm was doing a fine business and that they were in a perfectly sound condition.

COLORED TO ORDER
BY Simple Method Beautiful Effects
Have Been Obtained.

\ .-- -
We know that horticulturists create
almost at will flowers Of varied colors
by practicing. forced culture, artificial
selection and hybridization, in this way
obtaining q very, extended scale of
colorss. Still, in any case, the color Of
birth to millions of varieties, can only
be modified within certain limits. With
reference to this fact the colors of flow
ers have been divided into two great
categories, the xanthic series-yellow,
y y,sa orange! redMand the
er has flower Of the first series passed
into the second, nor has the reverse tax
en- place; never has gardener, no mat
ter how clever he may be, been able to
obtain blue roses. -a,,...
The florists, however, obtain this
color. The method Of the florists is that
classic one which has been long en-
ample, making them green with am
monia, white with vapors Of sulphuric
acid, etc. In this case, however, it is
the coloring matter ofs,the flower itself
which is modified altho in the produc-
ton tic Of green .carnIsast i the method
ing coloring matter .sinto the tissues of
the plant, the coloring matter then be-
ing incorporated into the petals.
When the first green carnations ap-
peared IN far1S the city was Selzed with
establishment, and many persons willing
~ paid as much as two francs apiece for
the flowers. The municipal authorities
instituted an investigation and soon
discovered how the flowers were colored.
It appeared that a young girl accidently
poured into the. water Of q vase con-
tanning white carnations coloring mat
ter with which she was painting rose
leaf green. What was her establishment
| to see the carnations lose their white
color and assume beautiful green
| tint; from this to the regular manu-
facture Of the flowers was only a STEP
All plants, however, do not lend them
selves in an equal manner to these vag-
aries. The carnation, hyacinth, orange
| flower, gillyfower, iris, chrysanthe-
mum and camellia are the most easily
l.colored, and in this respect it is anus
] ing to experiment with the many hues
that can be obtained. It is only neces-
sary to prepare a coloring solution, then
cut the stem of the flower and place it
in the solution. The plant draws up the
water, and little by little the coloring
matter is distributed thruout the plant s
tissues. Al common gillvfower placed
in solution of light green aniline dive
is quickly transformed, at the end of
twenty minutes the white parts being
| blue, the yellows green and the reds
violet. Many other effects may be pro-
duced In the same way.

To be shorn of his famous sorrel
beard of billygoat style is greater
calamity to old Captain Streeter than
the loss of his liberty. His chief plant

fact that his hirsute adornment had
been ruthlessly removed by a convict
barber at Joliet.
He is also bewailing the loss of his
famous plug hat.
