For the Gulf.

There Is a revival Of talk that the Imperial branch of the Southern Pa citic railroad. says the Imperial Press will be continued through to the head of the Gull Of California, with q fork in the road just below the international | Yuma. This would make the Imperial road the: main line to the east, with the added importance of opening up q | tidewater connection which is COW un- touched by any road.
 The reason of the renewal of this 1 report is that, temporarily, construc- tion of the road into Calexico was stopped and engineers have been sent the survey below the line, where con- siderable was done some months since
 Now that it has become certain that the Panama canal is to be built, there can be little doubt that connection n with the head of the gulf would bring time this apparently worthless plant will become great food product fer 'attening cattle.' says Willis Spill nan, agrostologist Of the department If agriculture at Washington.
 Last summer 1 was down in San Antonio, Texas, and found a factory down there manufacturing machines for chopping cactus. They have learned by accident down there that these spines which are terrible things on the prickly pear. and which rush into the iesh-when the things are wet they become like feathers and will not stick into l'anything. They run ! them through the choppiug mill and let their own juice exude into the spines. You can pick the chopped cactus up and find that it has not a prickle on it. Today they are finding tons and tons Of that stuff around San Antonio. There are several millions of acres of laud growing cactus in the United States.
 Il want to determine the real food value of the cactus, and I am going to ask these experiment stations to feed that cactus that has been run through the cutting machine against alfalfa hay and publish the result for the benefit O the people who live on the arid lands"

New TOwnsite in Chiricahuas.

James II. Knowles, general manager of the Chiricahua Development com pany, was a guest in Fl Paso Ut the Orndorff last week and left over the Fl Paso X Southwestern for the camp at Paradise.
 In speaking of the new camp, Mr. Knowles said:
 "We have a good copper property there and one that is showing up bet ter a. development work is pushed. The camp looks well. in fact, that our company is spending considerable money in this development and I am Of the opinion that 1t will not be long until there will be quite 8 town at the mines. With this idea In view, the company has just laid out townsite of twenty acres, which has been di. vided into lots Of 25xlOO feet, which we are selling.
 "We have just put in a lot Of new machinery and are prepared to sink a shaft 500 feet deep and cross-cut 33OC feet in depth to open up the veins a, great depth, that their value may be determined.
 The possibilities oi the camp are so great that q daily stage line has just been put on between Rodeo, our ship ping point on the Fl Paso & South western, and the mines.'

HADN'T WE BETTER?

Left the good old homestead, Some twenty years ago, And mother wrote us yesterday, Her head vas white as snow She's getting oh so close to The inevitable day, And We want to go and see her Before she's called away.
 Hadn't we better? We've oeer growing rather reckless Down here in Old Cochise, Where all the boys are princes, With a tendency to please. We've been advised to put on brakes And go little slow. And learn to use that little Soul and body saving, NO"
 Hadn't we better? As the golden hours slip by u-, Too often We forget, That "old age cold and pitiless' About us spreads his net. Amidst this glorious sunshine, We're admonished to make hay, And lay up little something for 4 cold and rainy day"
 Hadn't we better? There may be DO hereafter And there may not be God But one thing sure We know that we nae- ,.al md the best thing for us all is To be thoroughly good, Which is easy if we'd only Just determine that we would.

IT WAS A MYSTERY.
Arizona indians View Moving Pictures
 of Themselves.

Burton Holmes, the lecturer, visited the home Of the Eopi Indians in Ari- zona to witness the weird snake dane. which those savages have practiced al intervals for centuries. While near tbe home of the HOpi he set up hi- moving picture machine and made d flm showing Apache Indians and cow boys in horse races and in feats of daring while on horseback. The fln va, developed and proved to be excel lent. 4 year later Mir. Holmes visite q the same region again, and one night gave au exhibition for the benefit ol the natives The InC isn5 observed tbc pictures which was stretched on ,he side of q store building, with stol- ijitv, and made no comment until the moving picture machine was started and the film made in the year before ~a. thrown upon the screen.
 Then there was almost riot, said Mr. Holmes, in telling of the affair. ".5omc of the Indians who had taken part in the races the year before had died. and when they were thrown on the screen riding for dear life their friends were amazed. The dead had been brought to life. It was astound- ing.
 The Indians gazed at the picture. then looked at each other as if unccr- tain that :-ey saw what they saw. Then they began talking excitedly, pointing at the moving images Of these who were dead. IL did not strike the savage mind d. unusual that live men should appear on the screen and br moving, but with dead men IL was different.
 "When the film had all gone through the machine the Indians hast ened forward To examine the white cloth upon which the pictures had been shown. They fingered it nery- ously. raised it to look through it, in n vain cndcavor to find the solution Of what to them wLs mystery. Thev paid no attention at all to the machine that had projected the picture. All the magic, to the n. was in the screen."

The EImOre Oil Process.

Spokesman Review, Spokane. Wash. After three months Of working test under conditions not always the best, the directorate of the Le ROi No. mine at Ross land, B. C., has issued a statement complimentary to the El- more oil process of concentration. as used at it's 50-ton mill. The Elmore people, who have made a practical working of Le Rio No. ore, have not felt at liberty to say much about the process, because of possible cOmplica tions into which the Le Roi No. peO- pie might be thrown. H. H. Claudet, manager for the Elmore company at Rossland, has been in town.
 "The past three months have shown that the ElmOre process is a success said Mir. Caudet last night. The average Of the low grade ore from Le Ro No. is slightly under B ton iL gold, silver and copper values. This ore is crushed in the Chilean mills and sent over 10 O-mesh screen, and then the pulp passed over Wilfiey tables, where about g % per ton is taken out.
 "The Wiifley tailings are then set to the oil plant, where an oil concentrate running $i5 is produced for shipment to the shelter. That is equivalent to an extraction Of from 75 to 80 per cent. Of the metal in the rough ore, and meaus that the oil process gets about D to 60 per cent. of the values in the tailinTs.
 The circumstances under which we have been working have not been the best. It is but a 90 ton plant, while q l0O-ton plant could be run with the same number ol men. There have been shut-downs because of the lack of oil. We have been using the Canadian oil out now we are told that the duty has been taken of Of the United States oil for use ip our pro- cess. Experience will show Us where we can make even better returns. The loss of oil in the process is about one gallon for each ton of crude ore tre ated.
 ut QucSttOii Oi NoSb IS d ton now being looked over. From the chairman of the board at London We learn that S2. 10 a ton for the first months treatment is the cost. We will do better than that with experi ence and larger plant, and from esti- mates We have in hand, together with the different figure at which We will be enabled to get oil, we predict that the cost yill be but Sl 9 per ton. We have had many visitors from the east, and they have been surprised at the simplicity of the plant, having eX pected complicated affair. We are satisfied with the results to date in treating Rossland ore, and krow that we can do better"
 Mir. Claudet announced that con tract had been closed for l00-ton plant for the White Bear.
