The Democrats.

At the Democrats the winze re- gently started from the 800 level is now down about 20 feet. It is sink ing in ore and will go to the GOO ievel before work is halted. This winze is destined to tell much as to the con- tinuance of the ore bodies of the camp with depth. The management of the company feel that the showing made by the company on the 500 and upper levels justifies expectation that as big and as good, if not bigger and better ore bodies will be found below. There is every thing in the formation SO far to SO indicate. As it stands, the De- mocrata mine has the greatest actual depth below the surface in continuous workings of any property in the dis trict. All of these working are in ore, making the mine one of the biggest in in resources in the camp and con sequently in the Southwest. Grading at the property is about finished for the new furnace which is expected dur ing the month for the smelter, and for the new ore bins. The big dynamo which is to be used in operation of the electric light plant for which prepara- tions have been made has arrived at Naco and will be delivered at the mine during this week -Cananea Herald.

Beautiful Yuma Valley.

At this season of the year the Yuma valley is at her best. Looking from the mesa. it appears like a limitless garden, and it is just as beautiful from the edge of the mesa for numberless miles westward. Cot tonwood trees, grass. vines, alfalfa and every growing thing is cool, restful green. .r
 And every ranch house has 8 garden, however small it may be, where roses, oleanders and mornin z slories beautify the yard. And every yard has one or more giant cotton woods which shade the house from the burning rays of the relentless desert sun. The verdure reduces the tenn perature fully five degrees and the valley people insist it is ten degrees coolor Tn their green. shady valley.
 There is4certainly no piece of coun- try which borders the Rio Colorado on either side that is more beautiful, and would more prospective investors stay long enough to drive through the val ley investments would come thicker and faster. Sun.

An Arizona Pioneer.

Wm. Bradford, of Fl Paso. Tex |, visited Judge J. O. Hancock last week, and is now spending few days with Hands Bros, at the Hilltop mining camp. MT. Bradford, who is pioneer of the Chiricahuas, must needs oc- casionally return to his old haunts and visit his old friends, and swap stories of the days when Arizona was young.
 In the seventies Mir. Bradford was in the Black Hills, in what is now South Dakota. In 1883 he owned cattle ranch, with l. Lindsay, in Ar izona, in the San Simon valley. They then moved their cattle to Wood canyon, where they lived, not far from the Hancock ranch, (now owned by Riggs Bros, until 1897, when they again moved to the Animas valley. New Mexico. In 1901 they sold all their cattle and invested the proceeds in Fl Paso real estate, in which they made money.

U. s. Civil Service.

Some idea for the chance for em- ployment in the United States civil service may be had from the fact that last year the number of competitive position alone increased from l7 .807 l83, IFS due to national development, expansion and extension of civil serv- ice rules.
 The number of appointments to competitive positions alone during the single year just past was l.S77.
 Stenographers, bookkeepers, railway mail clerks, departmental clerks, etc., are paid 5000 to 1900 year to begin with. and allowed 30 days an nual leave of absence and 30 days' sick leave, both on full pay.

New Use For Tun3Sten.

Duncan R. Cumming, the Denver man who has been in and about Ben son the past week on ten days looking for tungsten ores, informs the Benson Press that an electric lamp has been invented, made of Tungsten. which requires much less electricity than those now in use.
 He also stated that Boulder county, Colorado now produces 80 per cent of what is mined in the United States.
 Tungsten has been discovered in the mountains surrounding Benson, and shipments were made by the Primos Chemical company at Dragoon, from placer ground, but that company has opened up copper deposits. and turned their attention from tungsten to min ing the red metal.
 The Milestone mountains, a few miles southwest of Benson, give pro- mise of becoming a permanent source of supply of tungsten, which has been found there at several points in quartz lodges. The Euclid company has the best showing at present, and if the new process dry concentrator proves 8 practical success, this property will add a steady output, and furnish en- ployment for a considerable number of men.
 Great advance in value of this metal occurred in a few weeks. A recent statement by the Colorado Assaying and Refining company, of Denver, gives the value of 60 per cent con- trates as $500 to s4OO per ton, provid- ing they do not contain over 1 per cent phosphorous and O.Ol per cent sulphur. Now this grade of tungsten would sell for $500 per ton f. O. b. Benson. or any point in the west The principal ores of tungsten are Vol frantic, Hubnerite and Schelite. Vol frantic is the ore which prevails, around Benson.
 The larger part of tungsten produce ed is consumed by the steel manufact-. utOiS, as ah aiioy, CilHoi Aiohc oi HI conjunction with Molly bdenun and Chromium. Snall percentages of these, alIoyed with steel. imparts great toughness. and is especially desirable in the manufacture of friction steels. armor plate, projectiles. etc. The newly discovered use in electric lights will add to the demand.-Press.

My Plains Experience.

near Claude, telling briefly his

reads:

Texas has been very satisfactory.

line county, Missouri, and also
in Denton county, Texas, and can
say that | would rather farm in
this county than in any other
place ! have ever been, for sew
eral reasons: The land is just as
good as there is anywhere. The
soil is easily cultivated. It's the
best land to run machinery over

mudholes, rocks, hillsides, all
smooth. The weather is fine in
the summer, spring and fall for
working, not too hot any time,
nor too cold in the winter. We

Good For TuIia.

Tulia, through her Board of
Health, has served notice on her
citizens that clean town must
be had under the penalties pro-
vided by the penal code of the
State. This Board, composed
of two physicians, III. d. Barnes
and II. Lee Dige, and w. G. Con-
ner, declare among other things,
that
All pits must be lined and
filed up; that no. tin cans, and no
other refuse Of any kind shall be
allowed to be thrown on any va
cant lot, the streets or alleys;
that no slaughter houses or pens
shall be allowed in town, and that
buildings to which the same ap-
plies shall be regulated by the
new State Health laws.
The territory to which these
regulations are to apply is two
miles square and the Board says
that they will be rigidly and i'm
partially enforced" The fine, so
says the Board, is to be ten dol
lars day for non observance and
each day is to constitute a sepa-
rate otfense.
Good for Tulia-if this Board
will only make good. The News
is very anxious to know of this
especially with reference to the
pits or cesspools.--Will the Tulia
Standard please report how the
thing works down there?
