PHOENIX INDUSTRY
 STATE PRODUCTION
A Part of the Machinery of the Works
 Already on Hand.

So quietly has the company carried on its operations and with such dis patch has it arranged it's finances that few people in Phoenix are aware of the fact that within seven miles of the town an industry has been begun that will in time develop into one of the principal institutions of this city. On " with the arrival of a ear load of machinery for the Phoenix Slate com pany was 1t learned that within a very short time the manufacture of slate shingles. stair treads, base boards and tiling will be begun by the company.
 The machinery received, according to the railroad officials is only part of what IS enroute the shipment which ar rived last week coming from Bangor, Pennsylvania. Other parts of the com pany's plant have been ordered from the coast and still additional machines those of tha finer mechanism are now building in one of the factories of the east. In the shipment received is a hoist to he operated with a 1000 foot cable line which will be used in the handling of the slag; saw which will treat slate the same as a lumber, saw does timber: a planer, a drill machine, and trimmer the names of the last aTIlCleS DelDR SCH eApldUdlOTy
 It was about a year ago that loca- tion notices were put on record by the Phoenix Slate company in the county recorders office on ten claims lying about seven miles north of the city. At the time the notices Tecited that some 100 feet of development work had been done on the group but the filing of the notices occasiOned little com ment. Since that time the officers of the company having the financing of the project in hand have visited Cali fornia interested capitalists who with those interested in this valley laid the way for the beginning of active opera tions.
 A well WIS begun and the work of developing the property to greater extent was commenced. This work shows the company to be in posses sion of a deposit of slate of large pro- portions and of a quality that experts say is equal to if not finer than any slate quarried in the west. Its especia quality is the ease with which it vii

yield to treatment and preparation for the market in various forms.
 Most of the slate used in the west comes from the fields of Pennsylvania although in northern California there are several beds. However on account of the long haul and correspondingly heavy freight rates, little material of this kind has been used in building in the southwest. With the product placed on the market at this point it is reasonable to presume that it's ship ment from this point will soon develop into one of the principal exports of Phoenix.
 At the property q force of men has been employed for several months but this force will have to be increased at an early date or as soon as the mill is in operation. The installation of cleo trical power at the site of the works and the possible construction of an elec- tricaI line into Phoenix to connect with the two railroads are projects the com pany will deal with in the future.
 While the production of slate in diff ferent forms so near to this city may not in any way lessen the cost Of building it will if used make the build ings constructed more substantial than were other materials used and of bet ter appearance. Slate roofing when generally used in the business section of city also is recognized by fire in- surance men as one of the points that tend to lower fire insurance rates.
 Of the Phoenix Slate company Shirley Christy is the general manager and associated with him are A. w. Gregg, a former builder and several To- cal capitalists. Of the $100,000 capital stock of the company considerable part is held in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

them.
The advance OF civilization has
made the pirates trade upon the sea
unpopular. This has reduced those
in whom the old spirit still lives to
work in the mines of the island as day
laborers, Just as the naughty old Cas-
lillian used to oppress the poor ma
tive West Indian.
That the old spirit still lives in Cuba
was shown most forcibly to Mr.. Ju-
lian Cendoya on Sunday, July 8, when
he was seated at his table with his
family and two cousins enjoying his
evening meal. The party was inter-
rupted by the entrance of eight armed
men who demanded that Cendoya de-
liver to them 100000, or go with them
as their captive. Mr.. Cendoya is Span
ish born, but is naturalized Amer.
ican, and is married to an American
lady, who was Miss Julia Lane, of
Brooklyn, N. Y. He is the agent for
the Ward line steamship company
and is a well-to-do merchant In the
eastern capital Of Cuba.
The story OF the way the bandits
conducted themselves is best told by
Mr.. Cendoya, who was sufficiently col
lected during the trying interval in
which the bandits guns were pointed
at him and his family to study the
faces OF each one with the idea Of be

out of ten has the cockney accent, you
feel tllat the Irish ought to rule Eng
land, and an O'Rourke or an O'Shan-
messy should take the place of King
Edward. 1t makes boy who was
brought up in an Irish ward in Amer
