abandoned in Marion county, the
same as it was in Gadsden county.
| 1t was somewhat revived in this
county during the exposition days,
but its promoter, Mr.. Madero, a Gu
ban gentleman, returned to his island
home when political pacification en-
sued.
But an object lesson is again pre-
scented to us in the cultivation of as
good an article of tobacco as can be
grown on any SOIL
The Marion Farms have ten acres
under shade, and it is now fully ma
tured and is being housed, and is pro-
nounced by experts to be as fine as
the. Sumatra leaf itself, and the yield
is even and abundant. The soil is
particularly adapted for tit seems
to contain every constituent element.
On the ten acres a yield of nine
thousand pounds is estimated.
The curing is being done under the
direction of an expert, and if all signs
do not fail this crop of tobacco ought
to be worth more than the discovery
of phosphate, more than turpentine
farms, yea, more than a gold mine
would be to our county, because we
have such a large number of acres
that can be devoted to its cultivation,
and so many can engage in it.
Mr.. S. A. Rawls, the protector of
this enterprise, and Mr.. ]. R. Hewett,
the manager of the Farms, cannot be
extolled too highly for the planting of
this crop, and the admirable manner |
in which they have brought it to per-
lection.
Mr.. q. c. Chambliss of the bank
was out with Mr.. n. l. Gottlieb last |
Thursday taking views of the tobacco
as it appears growing under the shed
prepared for it and in the barns, two
of which have been specially con-
in which the leaves are I'M
dergoing the process of curing.
The result of this experimental crop
will be watched with interest, as it
means so much to the future prosper
ity of Marion county
We are indebted for our visit to the
Farms to DR.. S. H. Bitch, the faithful
state prison physician.
The Marion Farms are. the head
quarters for the state prison hospital,
and the sick, disabled, decrepit and
aged prisoners are sent there for
treatment, and those that are able are
made to work in the fields, and are c
low working in the tobacco sheds and e
)arns. t

AN OBJECT LESSON IN 1osAcco

As early as 1858 and 1859 tobacco
was proftably cultivated in Marion

it did in Gadsden county.

COPPER QUEEN WILL
 TRY T|MBER|NG WITH STEEL
NEW EXPERIMENT BEING TRIED IN HoLBRooK SHAFT OF
 BISBEE MINES

BISBEE, May 1.-The copper Queen is now installing as an expert. ment a new system of holding "swell. ing ground" which will be watched with interest among mining men of this section.
 Drift No. 3-l01, on the 300 level of the Holbrook was driven through in January and February of this year, It was timbered with F by l2 square tim Der.
 In March, or thirty days afterward, the same was retimbered and now the timbers are crushed and broken in until the drift has been temporarily put out of commission.
 The new system consists of steel beams one-half inch in thickness by six inches in width, about IS pounds to the foot. The tunnel posts are 2 feet six inches long and the cap is feet six inehes,- giving greater. height by six inches over the old style, and hay ing the same inside width as the tim bers.
 The cap is placed on top of the posts and held in place by two reversed oval plates, which allows the beam to move with the ground and eliminates the breaking of same to a minimum.
 As the I beams are by inches and the timbers are l2 by l2 inches, the l beams will require B cubic-feet less of excavation to q set, which equals three mine cars less in mining, hauling and boisting.
 If the above experiment proves sue cessful it means great saving to the Queen in cost of continually replacing timbers in order to keep the drifts open for underground haulage.
 The Queen has lot of this swelling ground, some of it wet and some of it Try. It usually gives but little trouble turing excavation, but when the mater ial is exposed to the air chemical changes set in which causes it to swell, md nothing seems able to resist this

surrounded theim mine with an element of secrecy and mystery. They welcomed visitors to their camp, invited them to eat, offered them bed and cared for their horses, but at the first mention of their mine by an inquisitive visitor their immediate response was 8 com mand to the inquirer to leave then presence forthwith.
 For the past year Silverlock and Goldleaf have been in Mesa, being with out funds to carry on their work at the mine. They have lived largely of the charity of friends, though the manner of existence has been much in doubt among Mesa people.
 In the cell occupied by the two men at the sheriff 's office it was easy to notice striking difference. Goldleaf is sullen and silent, as if breeding over the failure, of the past, while Silverlock was genial and happy.
 Goldleaf refused to talk, but Silver leaf willingly answered questions until asked about his mine, when he turned away in anger and refused absolutely to answer any further inquiries on top ics as foreign as possible to his search for wealth.
 Silverlock said that he came to Ari- zona thirteen years ago from Colorado. He owned a well stocked cattle ranch there, but sold the cattle and then the ranch to raise, funds to carry on his prospecting in Arizona. He said Gold leaf, too, came here from Colorado.
 Both men imagine that several at tempts have been made to poison them in order to get their mine. They are haunted by the fear that someone is trying to murder them with electricity, and believe that they have enemies in Mesa who are trying to end their lives with electricity through tho means of an electric fan.

Maricopa Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, is sending out cir. cular letters to the teachers of the ter ritory requesting their cooperation and that of the pupils in raising funds for memorial and historical work in Ari. zona.
 While the primary object of the'soei- ety was to perpetuate the memory of the spirit of the men and women who achieved American independence, their work is not confined to the Revolution ary period.
 As result of eighteen years of loyal, intelligent work, a>ytraveler over lhe highways of America who loves his country and it's history, will surely de light in reading by the wayside its stories written in tablets, monuments and historical arches, each telling it's own story of time and place, action and actor, when and by whom history was made.
 Our territory is rich in deeds of his toric value, which were vital in the founding of our commonwealth and should not be forgotten.
 The brave pioneers who faced the perils of the "Great American Desert' are just as worthy of place in our his tory as those who braved the perils of the ocean.
 The patriotic women and children of the west, have rallied to the aid of the |" Daughters in their work of preserv. ing and marking the great trails over which the pioneers travelled from the valley to the Pacific coast.
 The stories of these great trails read like an epic and the historical spots in our own territory are all associated with as much suffering, heroism and success as those of the great trails or the homes of the Revolutionary heroes in the east.
 This work should unite all portions of our territory1n common cause in thus the brave men and women | who faced every trial, hardship and | danger which pioneers must always en- lure.

Lehman, the young Tacoma broker who disappeared ten day ago on the eve of his marriage to Miss Bertha Christian, has been heard from by Dr. J. E. Moody, for whom he formerly worked.

Indica- tions are that he dare not marry with out more funds.
 The wedding party had assembled, the minister was there, and all waited for hours for Lehman. Miss Christian has maintained all along that Lehman was taken away against his will and wants him to return to her. He had previously pawned his watch and ring,
