Gossip of men

Writes of Montgomery.

MT. F. J. Waldo. the venerable editor ana publisher of The Rising Sun Qnd) hecorder. who is visiting his sons. Messrs. w. w. Waldo and 0. B. Waldo. IT m Montgomery. writes as follows to his paper under date of May IT:
 For goo miles there was no evil aence of drouth or lack of rain un- tu near this city. Here there had peen no rain for period of six weeks: the grass gave evidence of a severe drouth. and the complaint was general mat cotton could not come up, or where it was up the growth was very slow; Tn a word, farmers were blue and dis outraged. This was all changed May 10, when general rain set in. To- day It is inconveniently cool. as it is cloudy and the wind Is blowing.
 The city is growing in almost every direction; new business houses, dwell lngs and tenement houses are to be seen in every direction. The new carnegie library building, just opened to the public. is the pride of the peo- pie: and they show it to strangers as one of the things worth seeing. The library in It is small, but this will be enlarged as the years go by.
 Tt has been the common complaint here that the city was deficient in ho- tel accommodations. The hotels are all old and small, and the need of a modern first-class hotel has been the crying need of the hour This long felt want is now to be filled. A joint stock company has been formed, and a twentieth century hotel is to be con- structed at an early day, which will be creditable to the city.
 The Advertiser. the old and ster- ling newspaper of the city, is con- stantly pushing r. the front. Its cir culation and advertising patronage is steadily increasing. It recently se- cured a building in a central location, had it remodeled and fitted up ex- pressly for it's use, the three stories being occupied by it.. But already more room is demanded and an addi- tion Is to be made to its length and a fourth story added.
 Tt is ably conducted by men of en- terprise and ability, and deserves all 1t gets in the way of patronage.'

The Butte (Mont) Inter Mountain waxes frisky over The Advertisers con tention that Judge Parker is not prop erly to be considered a candidate for the Presidency, and says:
 If The Advertiser is anywhere close to right in its conclusions, and 1t usually is more nearly accurate In its reasoning than Democratic papers are accustomed to being It is sincerely hoped that no rude person will bring to the attention of Judge Parker The Inter Mountains intimation that he is real candidate.
 We don't suppose the Judge is likely to be seriously startled or disturbed be- cause The Inter Mountain speaks of him as an actual candidate. He seems to be serenely attending to the important duties of his office without worrying over the turmoil of politics

Returned form EufauIa.

Commissioner of Agriculture R. R. Poole and Deputy Insurance Commis- sioner H. R. Shorter returned yester- day from Eufaula where they went to witness the operation of a patented cotton chopper invented by Charles G. Mercer, a we'll known planter living at Eufaula.
 They report A most pleasant visit and both were greatly impressed with the work of MT. Mercer's cotton chopper. They were met at the depot by MT. Mercer and a number of prominent citi- zens of Eufaula. There they entered carriages and were driven to one of Mir Mercer's extensive cotton planta- tions situated on the Georgia side of the Chattahooche river.
 Those who witnessed the demonstra- tion entertain but little doubt that the cotton chopper will do it's work quickly and satisfactorily.

Machinery for "Ls Gran Provedors.

As mentioned in THE OASIS last week, the Arizona X Sonora Manu- featuring Company (Roy x ritcomb sales agents) have contracted with the Arizona Mexican Copper Com panv for erection of SIP 900 worth of machinery upon their property near Caborca, in the Altar district of Sonora. known as La Gran Provedora Mir W. Deity the gen eral manager of the latter named company having signed the con tract at the time of his visit to No- gales last week. The order in- cludes a 6xS hoisting engine, gal lows frame, boilers, pumps, pipe line and full complement of tools and machinery for hoisting and pumping plant, to be placed upon the mine and in working order by the first of July.
 During the past eighteen months steady and systematic development  work has been conducted upon the property, and the ore bodies have been demonstrated to be extensive and valuable. More than 12,0OO feet of work have been accom- plished. The lowest working is $40 feet below the apex of the ore body, and crosscutting has proved it to be more than 100 feet in width, with exceedingly satisfac- tory values in copper, gold and silver. Every foot of development work is in the ore body which con sists of lime and iron, carrying copper, gold and silver. Next fall a smelter will be placed upon the property. The company's offices are at Phoenix, Arizona.
