silver. There are gold mines near Holguin,
which were worked years ago and which
are now owned by an English syndicate
known as the Cuban Mining and Develop
ment company. Gold has been known there
since the discovery of Cuba, and the mines
have been worked from time to time. In
1888 Mr.. Frederick Ramsden, then British
consul at Santiago, said that one mine
there produced ore bearing sixty-seven
ounces of gold and twenty-three ounces OF
silver per ton, making value of $1,000
worth of gold per ton. 1t Is also said that
Don Vicent CULLEN took out ore from the
same mine which yielded three ounces Of
gold to every hundred pounds Of mineral.
Another mine not far from Holguin con-
tained a pocket OF gold which within fifteen
days yielded $1,000 to every hundred pounds,
or $4,000 Samples of ore from the latter
mine were taken to London and assayed.
They showed a maximum of thirty-two
ounces Of gold TO the ton. There are other
mines in the same vicinity which contain
gold-bearing quartz, and the streams about

rod is undeniably convenient II has held
sway for many years, and will probably
never be entirely discarded, although new
methods Of portiere hanging are coming
into use with the spirit Of the new deco
ratlve movement OF the last decade.
The mission and arts and craft styles Of
furnishing are doing much to emancipate
us from the slavery Of the rod, for other
ways OF hanging portleres have been de-
vised and applied in these new decorative
schools
The portieres need not be movable. That
is a mere custom The necessary changes
may be effected by the use of hold-backs
at the sides of the door. Then there are
the one-piece and three-piece hangings,
which furnish draping for the door without
the use Of side loops.
Slight movability may be given fiat hung
portieres extending across the door by the
use of a rod or bar hanging from a fret
work grille above the door. This is well
shown in the cut at the head of this ar
ticle.

An Irish soldier wanted to get a furiough

very sick and had written him to come
home. The captain knew some Of Pats
tricks so he said to him that he had re-
ceived a letter from the woman and that
she told him not TO let Pat come home, as
he got drunk, broke the furniture and mis-
treated her shamefully.
Pat saluted and started to leave the room,

In spite of all the care devoted to the

to say that another line of greens has also
cropped out, yellowish moss greens of light

brought to the fore by the cloth manu-

beauty of the American Woman.


Mr. II. E. Bame, a well known art critic,
writes a short appreciation of Mr. Alonzo
KimbalI, the illustrator, In Public Opinion
Mr.. Kimball has won considerable fame by
his pictures Of beautiful women, most OF
which have been published by Scribner's.
OF the American woman as an artistic type
Mr.. Kimball said to Mr.. Bame:
1.-THE American woman is the most beau
tiful, but her beauty is not in faultlessness
OF features. 1t is due think, to her frank
ness and sincerity in expressing her feel
ingA She is not afraid to be natural. Her
face is neither a conventional mask of good
breeding nor an unrestrained panorama of
emotions. 1t simply expresses her.
why is this? Because of the wholesome
freedom of American life; because the
American girl is not kept in the nursery
until she is old enough to be sent to school,
but is permitted TO meet the friends of her
PARENTS; because she is not over-chaperoned
nor instructed In a superficial occurrences;
because her future is not to be that OF the
marriage de CONVEYANCE. She knows that
she can trust the men she meets; she is
frank and fearless, yet digniied by the
consciousness of her own freedom. Woman
is the only royalty we have in America"
There is, in Mr.. Kimballs opinion, no
such thing as a typical American girl in
art. Different artists, II is true, have pic
tured different types and each has won
from admirers a measure of recognition as
the type. But the typical American girl is
about as difficult to portray as the typical
American novel is to write. The traits OF
physiognomy and OF character that bind us
together in American life are too general
TO enable specific definition.

ANOTHER FINE WACO SCHEME.

A son of Naco, the same being a brilliant contriyance for the advance ment of law and order. We will not give his name for he has not yet filed his caVeat. He has what he calls "bo trap" and it has been ap- propriately named as will appear further on.
 When he was a kid he used to gather in coOns and skunks and other things the same way and am not so sure that his neighbor's hens always escaped.
 Now it transpires that he has little summer palace down near the depot where the 'boes do congregate. That particular class of gentry in this climate at least would steal wet dust from a crippled mud-dauber, they would roll their mothers dead body into the ditchand soak their collins for whisky. They are dirty enough to pollute the selpulchre of a leper, and mean enough to steal their own tobacco for practice, but that IS not the trail l started out on.
 This Naco officer concluded that he could use that old wire bound shack to snare the aforementioned bo.
 You could see through that shack from every point of the compass, but it would take some time to dig out except at the door.
 So the ingenious officer strengthen ed the hinges, attached an automatic lock, and bates the shack with a tempting ham otherwise known as hobo's delight. There is a trigger attachment connecting that ham by a wire with the door, which is wide open, leaving the ham in full view. The instant the Do pulls on that ham with a view to disengaging it from the wire, the trigger is sprung. the door flies shut and Mir. 'bo is caught.
 1t would require about an hour to dig out, and the officers is there every 45 minutes. Sometimes he catches as many as four at time. He is doing magnificent work, making himself and the court rich. and rid ding the community of the pestiferous 'bo. He will obtain patent in due course, and in the mean time all par ties, especially the Bisbee constabu- lary, are warned to not attempt in fringement.

i action of water with the erosions from the neighboring mountains forming a
 soil running from five to fifty feet in
 depth and with a productive capacity
 uneQualed anywhere in the world. The
 soil has been submitted to every test
 known to the chemist and he has said
 in unmistakable terms that this soil
 will. with the application of water, grow any crop or cereal or produce any fruit that is common to the tenn
 perate zone and will grow at this al titude. The soil with its great depth and peculiar qualities is practically
 inexhaustible. Then what Of the waters?
 Of course the rainfall in the Sulphur Springs valley in summer season. or for that matter in any season. would not be sufficient to develop the agri- cultural possibilities of the valley. The average annual rainfall is only about nine inches, not sufficient to grow a crop in the most favored local ities much less in the arid atmosphere and hot sunshine of the uplands of Arizona But the Lord has not for gotten his own. Flowing beneath the soil of this valley at a depth of from 90 to 250 feet there is an underground IlNGT WHICH CdIIlNS q lOH SUI ficiently great to irrigate every acre of land in the valley for all the years that are to come and leave the hidden river yet flowing on its course to the sea. Whence comes tnis amazing water supply? It comes from the rain fall which is carried off by the un- derground flow and not by evapora- tion, it comes from the drainage of the vast mountain district which ad- joins and drains into the valley from every side For a thousand feet be- meath the crust of the valley the com position is sand and gravel and filled now to it's limit with water flowing with slow but persistent current to the sea. The mines at Tombstone and Bisbee and in the Chiricahua noun tains have demonstrated just how prodigiOus is the water supply upon which the valley can draw for irriga- tion purposes. Wells put down at the smelters in this city, by the railroads and the Douglas Improvement com pany, and by private individuals have demonstrated that the water is close to the surface and in unlimited abund- ance. What is true here is true ct every point in the valley where a well has been sunk by a rancher or for any other purpose.
 This water will have to be raised to the surface by wind mills or pumping plants run by electric power, gas or hot air engines. Cheap fuel or rather cheap power is essential to successful irrigation and it may be found here as it has been found in California that electric power is the cheaper and better with which to operate a pump rNfanr for an rrio

l that you shall not insult or abuse any man. woman or child, their convic- tions or sensibilities, nor ignore the common rules of public decency. The streets are narrow and crooked, the sidewalks inadequate. Eadies must walk down the principal streets and look after their own skirts, but woe unto the man who would dare make the slightest reflection on one of them.
 Neighbors are crowded together in uncomfortable proximity. but every one seems to recognize the necessity for mutual forbearance and indulg. ence. Ordinary breaches of propriety are never considered. It must be something serious or something in volving the sacred relation of home and domestic honor to arouse the de- termined vengeance of the Bisbeeite. Unless the crime conforms to those classes. the motto is, "0h, let the poor devil go."
 From Bisbee to Lowell is just one mile. Everybody walks the railroad track. All day and all night, men and women are walking this track. It is no presumption against a woman that she is walking that way at any hour in the night. and be it recorded to the credit of the grand old camp that dur ing the long, long years since that road was built, sunshine or cloud, day or night, mid calm or storm, no wom- an was ever approached, offended or insulted on that great iron highway.
 About a year ago, your contributor, while walking over this road at the midnight hour, met a little woman coming at the rate of 30 knots an hour He had met hundreds before on the same track at about the same time. He naturally assumed that she was in trouble. and anxious to assist her if possible, but was afraid to speak to her lest she should put a wrong con structiOn or his conduct.
 After hurried reflection, however, without any attempt at a preliminary explanation, lie asked her if she was going after a doctor, and if he could be of any service to her. She stop ped, turned about slightly, and then explained that her child was sick at a certain number in Lowell, and her husband was night shift in the mine had the pleasure of sending her back home while 1 returned to Bisbee and procured a physician, and it is su- perfluous to add that she and her worthy husband are now numbered among my best friends.
 Every citizen of Bisbee assumes that the man who has located and i'm proved ground, especially if he lives upon it, owns it, and the records are never invoked to prove the contrary.
 Bisbee has had its record of crime and hold-ups, but it would be difficult to trace a single instance of such a nature to the door of any bonafide res ident of the big camp.
 The Copper Queen company, of , course. has a preponderating influ ence and interest in Ibe camp, but the company has never abused it's power On the contrary, it has taken the lead in every measure and utility calculat ed to improve the sanitary and other conditions in the camp, and together with the people 1t is straining every resource to overcome the natural ob stacles which lie in the way of com

 Practical Mechanics
A PRONOUN NCED SUCCES

Years passed and MT. George :till clung to the same idea, and in 1891 the first steps were taken to pu5 the idea into a practical illustration. Oh stacles numerous and difficult, pre- sented themselves in rapid succcs- sion, but were in turn overcome, until few weeks ago at Deming, in New Mexico, the first mill produced by an expert mechanic, was put in operation and subjected to a practical test
 The test was complete and unqual- flied success, and the inventor is at present in the east perfecting the plans for the manufacture of this Iew mill, which beyond a doubt will rev olutionize the opportunities Of the ranches of this southwestern country and all others in different parts of the wOrld-where the windmill is de. pended upon for the water supply.

An Important Invention for the RanChers
 of the Southwest

Mr. George gave his personal super vision othe work, and as soon as the parts had been assembled the mill was brought to Deming, New Mexico, the home of the windmill, ana gwen it's first practical test. As expected, there were minor changes to be made as a result of the practical test, and Mir. George IS at present in Kansas City With hr. Fenner, where work has been starred on the construction of the first lot of twenty, which will soon be placed on the market. MT. Fenner, the constructing mechanic, is enthusiastic over the results Ob- tained. and the practical demonstra- ton of the mill, which he does not hes itate to say will revolutionize the wind mill business of the United States.
 The two single wheels on the single tower will have two and one-haf times the power of the ordinary mill of 12 feet diameter.
 The diagram of the new mill accom- panied by detailed description of its workings have been shown to ranch. CTS in the Sulphur Springs and San Pedro valley, and they are enthusias. tic over the new invention. and more than one windmill of this type viii soon be seen in this section.
 Especially do they recognize the pcs abilities that are thus afforded Tor irrigation enterprises heretofore unaI- tempted for lack of sufficient pumping power at a small expense. The George mill makes large storage tanks possible, which can he hept supplied with a six-inch stream of water from a depth of one hundred feet. The four-wheel machine have this guaran- teed capacity.
 After practical test had been made MT. George came to Bisoee, where he was acquainted, and succeeded in in- teresting MT. George Buxton, E. C. Gleason and T. F. McCann in the en- terprise with the result that a conl- pany has been duly organizet and in- corporated for the manufacture and marketing of the manufactured mil. The headquarters of this company for the present will be in Bisbee, although the manufacturing for the mill will be done under me direction of Mr. Fen ner and MT. GecJge at Kansas City.
 The progress Of the George ComLi- nation Wind Mil will be watched with a great deal of interest in the south. west. where several are tc bo iastais ed on ranches just as soon :.s they can be delivered
