POSTOFHCE BOX
 RIfLED OF CONTENTS
E. B, Mason Company'S Draw CT Suffers Second Time.
 Children Suspected.
Lowell. Arlz.. March 1s. 1sOs.

LOWGli, ArlZ., hdrCl To, lSOos
 The K. B. Mason Comapny has suffered recently by having its post office box rifled of its contents. This morning, the second time this month, the box was found empty whe1 an employe of the company went to the office for the mail. On account of the lock box being out of repair, 1t is thought that children who have been playing with the different lock boxes at the office had opened it and taken out tae contents. That this is a safe conclusion to be reach ed is shown by the fact that a little girl this aoon took a check to the office of the company and told a bookkeeper that she had found it on the street The check was 1oi S10, and does not snow that it had ever been on the ground, as it is per fectly clean.
 A week ago today, a check for $7.50 was brought into the office or the company by boy about nine years of age, who stated that his sister had found it.
 What the object of tne children is in taking all the mail, including newspapers, from the box is not known, but it is supposed that they are of the belief that if they return the valuable paper to the company they will be rewarded The box of the company, as well as all other boxes, is being yarefully watched ty the postofIice employees, and a repati' tion of this crime will not take place if they can prevent it.

MANY PRECEDED THE
 ALLEGED FIRST MILF,
Prospector Taken To Task By Old Timer in Arizona
 Mining Industry.

In a recent issue the Prospector pub Iished an item regarding the building of the Charleston mill, erected by l. S. Vosburg in this county in 1879, and chasing it as Arizona's first quartz mill. The item was republished in he Prescott Courier. c. B. Genung of
 Iaruua Hala, Yuma county, in letter to the Courier objects and gives out the following interesting facts:
 "The first mill in Arizona was not built by Mr. Vosburg by long shot: don't know when it was built, but Col onel Colt, of gun notoriety, was oper- ating a silver mill at Sierra Colorado mine in April, 1864. was there Hiiu saw it. Then, MT. Tyson built 5- stamp mill just above the town of Wickenburg in the winter of '64-5, and the following year it was torn down and moved to the Sterling mine, about five miles southwest from Prescott, and after doing duty there for . few years was torn down again by man named Harris and moved to Harris burg, in Yuma county, where it now stands. About the same time Jack Swillinz built a small mill about one and one-half miles below Wickenburs, ard in the fall of '64 P. W. Smith, Fritz Brill and Henry Wickenburg builr 10-stsmp mill on the ground where Wickenburg now stands, and the same year James Cecsnberg built 70-stsmp mill about half mils above Wickensurg. All the above mentioned mills were built to work vulture ore, which was hauled sixteen miles to the mills. In August, 'sI, G. H. yiekroy hauled 2o-stsmp mill from St Joseph, No, to Turkey Greek, and the following year Gray ( Co, of LA Pas anx rsss- colt, put up 10-stamp mill on Bisbug and ran 1t for . long time. There are lots of other mills that I could mention that were built and run a long time before the Tombstone eoun- try was heard of In Yuma, Mohave and Yavapai counties. The Crown King mill was first put up at Tyson's wells, in Yuma county, then moved to the present site in the early 70's. and there were several stamp mills on Lynx creek and the Hassayamps be- fore 1879"

WILL HAVE
 NEW MILITIA COMPANY
Petition Is Laid Before Cover nor-His Approval Is Con
 sidered Certain.

PHOENIX, March 13.-The petition of the local young men who wish to muster into the National Guard of Arizona as a militia company was this morning presented to Governor Kibbey for his signature of approval. The presentation was made by Sid ney Stewart, one of the leaders in the movement It Is the plan to muster in and commence drilling as soon as the governor approves and the nec- essary authority to go ahead is thus given. There is said to be no doubt that the governor will give his ap- proval, as he Is parctiuiarly anxious to have new companies organized all over the territory.
 The forty-three members of the new organization comprise some of the very best young men of the city, and the company should be one of which PhoeEix and the territory may well be proud Several of the members are good marksmen, and men who can shoot are particularly desired in the N. c. A.
 Prescott, in short time, will have a good company. News which has been received here from the mountain city is to the effect that much en- thusiasm is being evinced there in the movement. New names are be- ng secured every day, and in a short time the petition will be sent to the governors office.
 Prescott was urged to form a com pany by Adiutant General Coggins long before he entered upon his pres ent position. He has also brought pressure to bear upon Tucson and Bisbee, and it is expected that before long each of these places will have creditable military organizations.

There are some 100000 miles CT
earth roads in the United States, and
these 100000 miles need constant
attention. The Public Roads bureau
has hit upon a novel scheme for keep
ing them in first class condition at a
nominal cost. The split-log drag Is
the solution of the problem, and every
farmer in the land should know how
to construct and operate this simple
road-repairing machine
The main thing needed is a dry
cedar log, although red elm or walnut
is good; :; in the south the pine will
answer admirably, being light and
durable. White box elder, soft maple
or even willow may be used. Oak,
hickory and ash are not recommend.
ed. The log, seven to ten feet in
length and ten or twelve inches in
diameter at the butt, is split as near
the center as possible, the larger
piece being used as the front of the
drag and sometimes being shod with
iron along the lower or cutting edge.
The two slabs on edge and thirty
inches apart are fastened together by
stakes in such a way that when the
drag is in use on one side Of road
the end of the back slab is about six
teen inches nearer the center of the
driveway than the end Of the front
slab. This gives what is termed a
setback. Between the heavy slabs
and resting on the connecting stakes
is a board on which the driver stands.
The machine is drawn by pair of
horses.
The successful operation of drag
involves two principles, which when
thoroughly understood and intelligent
ly applied, makes road working with
this implement very simple. The first
concerns the length and position Of
the hitch, while the second deals with
the. position of te driver on the drag
Each influences the other to large
extent, and successful manipulation OF
the drag is dependent upon an under
standing of both of them
For ordinary purpose the snatch
link or clevis should he fastened faf
enough toward the blade end of the
chain to force the unloaded drag tc
follow the team at an angle of forty.
five degrees. This will cause the earth
to move along the face of the DRAG

| FATE. A OF JOHN BLACK
HE LOST HIS HOMESTEAD BE-
CAUSE OF LACK OF GOOD
FAITH.

Grand Forks Herald: The North
South Dakota was held for cancella-
tion because it was shown that it
was the intention of the homesteader
to leave the claim and return to his
former home Immediately after prov
ing up. In other words the settle
ment was not in good faith. 1t does
not appear that the man had failed
in the performance of any duty as
signed to him by the government.
He had apparently lived on the claim
for the required number of months,
broken the required number of acres,
and erected the building required by
law But in spite of all these things,
the claim was not his home in good
faith. Hence he could not obtain a
patent The difference between this
man and thousands of others who
have obtained titles under. the COM
mutation clause of the Homestead
act is that this particular man was
unfortunate in having his real intent
brought to the attention of the gov
ernment before his patent was is
sued. In the other cases patent has
issued, and the local paper has con-
tanned the statement that t'John

The Splitting DRAG FOR EARTH ROADS
By Frank N. Bauskett in Technical World

ri e
smoothly and will give comparatively
Light draft to the team, provided the
driver rides in the line Of draft. Some
times, however, fiat places several
rods in length or seepy spots need
special attention.
The distance from the drag at
which the team is hitched affects the
depth Of the cutting. Shortening the
chain tends to lift the front slab rom
the ground; a longer hitch causes the
blade to cut more deeply, The leugth
OF the chain, however, can be regu-
lated to suit the purpose.
The drag does the best work when
the soil is moist, but not sticky. The
earth then moves freely along the
face of the slabs. II the roadway is
very badly rutted and full Of holes il
is well to use the drag when the
ground is slushy. This treatment is
particularly applicable before cold
spell in winter when it is possible to
have roadway freeze smooth lay
when mixed with water and thorough
ly worked becomes remarkably tough
and impervious to water. If com
pacted in this condition it becomes
extremely hard. Another valuable
result of dragging is the reduction of
dust, for the particles Of clay cohers
so tenaciously that there is but little
wear when the surface is smooth.
How economical this method Of
road improvement is is shown by fig
ures of actual tests submitted by the
bureau. In six counties in Kansas
the cost of maintaining ordinary earth
roads without the aid of the splitIog
drag averaged $42.50 a mile, while thaf
least expense mile for split-iog
dragging was s1.50, the greatest a lit
tie over $6, and the average expense
4 mile for five and a half miles a lit.
| tie over So. A reputable person who
has lived some forty years on the
| road where the tests were made with
! the split-log drag says that never in
his life has he seen the road in such
fine condition, and that during the
last season unusually extreme wealth
J er conditions were experienced. Out
in Iowa the drag has been used with
remarkable success, the average casr
per mile being $2.15, and it is report
| ed that the roads thus treated are
like race track the greater part
of the year.
