A fact not generally known to the citizens of this territory is that the law governing the man. agement of the Benson Industrial school provides that the counties from where the children are sent are required to pay one half of the expense of their keeping and care Bills rendered to Yavapai county for such service have been at the rate of sixty two and one half cents per day, which would indicate that the total cost of running the institution is at the rate of $1.25 per day, per boy.- Prescott Courier.

In reply to an inquiry by Solo.

In reply to an inquiry by Solo, mon Luna, presidednt of the Sheep Sanitary Board of New Mexico, Solicitor General Prich- ard states that the board cannot impose a fine upon an owner who refuses or neglects to dip his sheep when ordered to do so. But the board can order the sheep inspec- tor to take charge of the sheep and see that they are dipped, at- ter which the cost can be collect ed by a civil suit in the courts, the board having lien on the sheep until the costs are paid.

The United States geological survey is at work on a new map of the Grand Canyon of Arizona. Considerable progress has been made. Some of the lines of sight between triangulation stations are seventy miles long, and as observations ca. only be made to good advantage between sun- rise and 9 a. m., or between 4 D. m. and sunset, the work is neces- sarily slow The signals flash an easily dcclphered light only an inch square as far as from Kendrick Peak to Point Sublime, distance of sixty-eight miles.
 Accurate elevations have been established on the Bright Angel trail, and it is no longer neces- sary to guess how high one is above the sea level. It is known that from the rim of the south wall to the river is a drop of 4,430 feet at Bright Angel, and 4,913 feet at Grand View, while from the north rim the distance is several hundred feet greater, or more than a mile. Twenty buildings like the Masonic Tenn pie at Chicago could be superim- posed in the deepest gorge of the Grand Canyon without reaching the top -Albuquerque Citizen.

Last Saturday night Henry Lovin brough in from Gold Road one of the largest bars of bullion ever cast at the mill. It's weight was O,OOO$, and was a cleanup from ten days run of the tanks. The bar was one of the hand somest and cleanest ever brought to Kingman. The mill was shut down for a few dsys during the week, while the batteries were being changed from dry to wet crush, but the new mill was star ted up Thursday. The object of the new mill is to regrind and amalgamate before the pulp goes to the tanks. The ores now car ry considerable coarse gold that cannot be reduced to the desired fneness for cyaniding and this is to be taken out and thereby in- crease it's cyaniding capacity.- Mohave County Miner.

it is and why it is that the soil til
'lers and landowners of as old and
otherwise progressive and up-to-

can stand in their own light so far
and adhere so faithfully to the an
tiquated, unprogressive and obsolete
law known as the fence law, or a law
that forces one to fence out his
neighbor' s stock instead of keeping
his own in an enclosure.

be in many other ways, she is still

Profit in Farming.

There is a very Interesting story
on the first page of this paper OF the
improvement of one of our WORKOUT
Stokes County farms by a young
man of intelligence and determlna-
tion. The farm was bought when 1t
wasn't paying the taxes and the IN
terest on the money invested IN IT,
To-day it is yielding a handsome
profit and is worth many times what
the owner paid for it. The Reporter
has always contended that there IS
good money in sane methods OF farm
ing. Our proposition is demonstraV,
ed by the experience above referred
to. While so many of our young
men are restless, longing to 60 10

Fruit Growing on the Farm.

The greater value of fruit grow
ing to the farmer is not primarily
in it's commercial aspect, or how
much money it will bring in, al
though the receipts from the sale of
the surplus are not to be despised,
either; it is rather the "health of
good living" that comes from an
abundant supply of all kinds of fruit
that may be readily grown in the To-
cality, so that all the year round the
family may have all they can con-
sumo. There are fruit specialists,
the Homestead remarks. of course,
just as there are specialists in other
lines of farm industry, who make a
handsome income out of the orchard
and small fruit paintings. They like
the work and therefore learn it cas-
lily and keep on learning until they
are gray, and their knowledge be-
comes more valuable every year by
accretion. Any young farmer who
begins on a scale adapted to his
home needs may grow into a spe-
cialist OF this kind, but thousands
never do. This is no reason why the
IuOuSduuS SuOulu HOI nave d1 GIIe
fruit their families can use. Be
ginning with the most useful kinds
and those most easily grown, the
farmer can gradually surround him
self with a good home orchard and
small fruits of all kinds. that i'm
prove his living and reduce it's cost,
thus adding to his comfort and in
dependence. We do not find it nee
essary to do much in the way of
urging horticulture. Those who are
already fitted for it know enough
about it to determine for themselves
whether or not they shall engage in
it, while those who are not sufi-
GENTLY informed must work their
way to it, if at all. by beginning at
the bottom of the ladder; and there
is no better way to do this than by
beginning with a few good trees in
a home orchard, and small areas of
small fruit for home use. We do
urge this upon every farmer. If no
cash income ever comes from it, it
is still worth all the expense in time
and money that it costs.

be a blessing of no mean proper
tions. There is a sentiment abroad
that anybody can work on the farm
or is fit to be hired hand on the
modern farm. They imagine there
is no skill about it, that it is simply
hard knocks and the exercise of mus
Gle. This is a very great mistake.
The model farmer. whether he farms
himself or is employed by others, is
skilled laborer. and the employ
ment of unskilled labor to do the
work of a skilled laborer necessarily
means loss to the employer.
