BRICKS OF SANDSTONE
Something About Growing Indus-
 try at Prescott.

Prescott, Arizona, April % Special Correspondence of The Republican).- The introduction of sandstone brick on the market by the Arizona Sandstone Brick company has proved such a paying venture that the officers of the company are preparing to extend it's operations by selling county rights throughout the territory for it's manu- fracture. The local company began op- erations November l, 1901. The plant cost $5O,O00 and has a capacity of zO,COO brick a day.
 In making the brick five per cent of lime is mixed with sand and put into a bin and thoroughly moistened. It is allowed to remain in the bin for A hours during which time the lime is slacked ard the sand dries. It is then carried to a rear bin and passed by a tube to the mill where it is ground with German flint rock, an imported product. The next day the ccmposi- tion is carried to a Boyd press with a 100 tons pressure and there it is mould ed. The moulded bricks are carried on little cars of 1000 brick capacity to a hardening cylinder, 65XG feet in dimen- sions where they are allowed to stay for 10 hours under 12O pounds of steam. This completes the process.
Arizona republican., 1904-04-25

The sandstone brick have been ap- proved by the government and are being used in the construction of Whip pie Barracks, for which the govern ment is expending s1, 1,OOO,OOO. Many bus mess blocks in this city testify to the virtue of the brick.
 The company is now experimenting to invent a sandstone fire brick In a brazing plant the sandstone brick are being used and they stand heat up to 2.OOO degrees, the highest test that has been given them. If the company succeeds in turning out a suitable fire brick it's fortune will be made. Fire brick are selling at $12O n thousand.
 During the six months the plant has been in operation over one million brick have been manufactured and sold, and the company has orders ahead for fully another million brick. Like other in- stitutions in Prescott the brick com pany is prosperous.
 The company employs 15 men. George A. Beach is superintendent of the plant.

ENDLESS PURSUIT OF WEALTH.

In the United States leaders in every line of activity, in politics and business, have been conspicuously prone to die
 as 1t is said, in harness. The death of Mark Hanna is a case in point. But the list of those distinguished for their successful attainment of wealth and fame. who have continued, their activi- ties long after the advance of age and the diminution of physical strength must have warned them of the ap- preaching end. is a very long one. In the older countries of Europe, on whose civilization that of the United States is founded, it seep1s easier for men who have more or less successfully attained the object they aimed at to retire and enjoy freely the prizes they have gained. although even there the old barbaric struggle is in many cases kept up to the end. Public opinion there too. IS more tolerant of those who lay off the the harness before being compelled to do so by the decree of fate. In this country, however, there seems to exist in the mind of the ordinary man a cer-

PHOENIX FIRE DEPARTMENT
Turned Out With Entire Apparatus to
 Help Mail a Letter.

The fire department made d most brilliant run yesterday morning about | : o'clock. It was a short run and no | fire was found. but it is nevertheless considered tc be one Of the most suc-
 cessful runs ever made by the PhoeniX fireman in that they learned the reason why so many false alrams are turned in.
 They caught, red handed in the act, the man that sent in the alarm from the corner of Center and Jefferson streets, and yet, he was not lypched. nor even arrested. for he proved con clusively that he didn't do il malicious ly. He is a tourist who arrived here only half hour before on the M &
 P. train, and was eagerly trying to mail a letter back to the old folks at home to tell them what a glorious country
 he had found here. Though he was
 not under the influence of liquor, the climate was so intoxicating that all red boxes looked alike to him and
 fire alarm box was the first one he located. When She apparatus pulled up at the corner the tourist Was still trying to do business with the alarm
 box and was somewhat nervous as he
 saw the fire department. He wanted
 to get his letter off his hands so he
 could run to the fire. He was not
 noticed at first as all the firemen were gazing around trying to locate the con
 tiagration. Finally some one saw the man at the box and asked him what he
 was trying to do. He said: T am try
 ing to get this gol darned letter m
 the box but it won't stay anywhere
 When told what he was trihing with and that he had summoned the whole
 fire department to help him mail the
 letter, all he could say was, Well i swan"
 He was led kindly across the street and shown a real letter box and then questioned a little. He said he was from Wisconsin and had only arrived few minutes before. He thought the alarm box looked a little different from the letter boxes they have in Wiscon- sin but supposed it was as near the general pattern as people way out in

tain contempt for those who give UT the strenuous paths of labor and ambi- ton before their strength has wasted away. The successful men of the United States who have sprung from the masses are imbued with this opin- ion. Until within the last twenty five years the idea of retiring from ac- tive life and settling down to life in which personal tastes and procilivities could be followed was regarded as at least eccentric.
 There have always been two neces- sary steps to be taken before retirement from active life could with safety be accomplished; one was the acquire ment of wealth and the other provision for its safekepeing. As civilization progresses the second and more i'm portant step can be more easily man. aged. The individual no longer has to depend upon his own efforts to guard the store set aside for his future sup port. The power of corporations originally directed simply to the accu- mutation of wealth, is now to a very great extent applied to it's .conserva- tism.
 In Great Britain there has always been wealthy leisure class, and nat urally there has been q systemtization of the manners and customs consequent on such an association of wealth and leisure. Public opinion is more toler- ant of q man who wishes to do what he likes with his own than it has yet be- come in the United States. The exist ence of Q leisure class able and willing to enjoy their lives ratiOnaIly and ir- telligently is a check on the wilder ex- hibitions of leisure on the part of sud- denly acquired wealth It also holds

 BEEF FOR ROOSEVEUT-John T. Hughes will tonight ship three cars of beef cattle to F. A. Tovrea. Two cars will go to MT. Tovrea's market at Bis bee and one carload will go to Globe.

This is the first shipment of valley fattened beef to go to the storage basin market.
 STILL PROSPECTINe-CharlesI L. Hall, of Mesa. was a Phoenix visitor yesterday. MT. Hall owns the Man. moth gold mine at Goldfeld, a few miles above Mesa, from which a large amount of that precious metal was taken few years ago when the rich deposit played out. MT.

 AN TIER OIL DISCOVERY There is a report in circulation that oil has been found in a well at Mann moth, Pinal county, though no reliable details can be secured. According to the report man named Slavin and two partners were boring for water and were down several hundred feet, when they secured what they believed to be crude oil. One of them went to Beaumont Texas, with samples taken from the well, which analysis proved to be oil of good quality. Re- turning he made public what had tran spired. The news reached Bisbee at once and it is said there are numer- ous Bisbee men en route to Mammoth now vic Benson.

( NALCUTTA, May Sin these days
when the pen is held to be
mightier than the sword and writs are
no longer enforced by bayonets, there
is certain appropriateness in the del
fication of the ink pot, as the symbol of
English domination, in this strange
land Of occult wisdom, mysticism and
superstition.
The ceremony of bowling down to
this rather commonplace receptacle
took place on the fiat roof of the huge
pile of buildings in Calcutta which
are occupied by the secretariats of the
government. The worshipers, some
thirty in number, most of them native
Orderlies from the hills around Simla,
who every year accompany the gov
ernment officials from Simla to CAL
cutta, engaged as their priest a Pun
jabi brahmin. Taking one of the large
packing cases which are used to con-
Vey office records they draped its rough
woodwork with plantain leaves and
branches of the sacred pipal trees. On
this foundation they placed a dispatch
box, which served as a species of altar.
On top of it, as the principal fetish,
was installed a common English glass
tnkpot with a screw top and around
this We're arranged penholders and pen
nibs, red, blue and black pencils, pen
knives. ink erasers, foolscap and letter

the clerlkly paraphernalia with which
the government of India carries on it's
work. With an unconscious touch of
humor the whole was festooned with
abundant coils of red tape.
When all the preparations had been
completed each worshiper made
reverential obefsance to the inkpot and
laid before it his offerings, consisting
of grains of rice, spices and various
fruits. and some copper farthings, the
latter constituting the perquisites of
the officiating priest. The Brahmin
then recited various cahahstic formu-
las, supposed to be texts from the
Vedas. After the conclusion of the re-
hgious rites the vetaries feasted them
selves on sweetmeats, for the purchase

was Sir Arthur Fairbairn, the deaf
and dumb baronet," as he is widely
known all over England. Possessed Of
an abundant fortune a keen and cul-
tivated intelligence, and rare artistic
tastes, Sir Arthur would hardly have
been deemed a selfish man had he de-
voted his means to getting all the en-
joyment possible out Of an existence in
which he is doomed to play a Silent
part. But his own sore affliction has
only stimulated him to devote his time
and means to ameliorating the lot of
those who are similarly stricken and
have in addition the burden of poverty
to- contend with. And that this work
has brought him happiness in far
greater measure than would have come
to him had he simply used his wealth
to minister to- his own pleasures, no
one who notes his bright, animated
countenance,. his sparkling eyes and
above all his CHEEKY smile, can doubt
In his philanthropic labor he is ably
