One Of the most important Of thu
industries developed In recent years
Is the production Of sugar from sugar
beets. More or less desultory worl
was done on sugar beets ~ TAI
back a. 1857. In 1892 only six fac
tories were in operation In this coun
try, the combined output Of which
was a little over 27,oo0.o pounds Of
sugar.
According to the National Maya
zine. there are now no less than six
ty-four factories in operation. with q
combined output Of approximately
100000 short tons Of sugar manu-
featured from beets, with a factory
value Of 345.000,0 900.
One most important factor has
been the production of q high grade
sugar beet seed. For many years
American growers have been depend
emit almost exclusively on foreign
countries for our sugar beet seed, but
for three or four years past the De
psrtment of Agriculture has been en-
couraging the successful growth OF
sugar beet seed in this country. 1t

pertunity for development; and 1t Is

 ABOUT ESPEE PLANS
Engineer Tells About Twin Buttes Extension But Keeps
 Mum Regarding Cochise

An imitation of the-man-w ho-has-for- sotten-something was given by J. c. Mcclure, engineer of maintenance of way for the Southern Pacific in Ari- zona, who vas in Bisbee Sunday on his way to. Tucson. Mir Mcclure was extremely reticent where pfans TOT building of additional lines by the s. P. in Cochise county was concerned, declaring himself utterly ignorant of any plans.
 MT. Mcclure Is enthusiastic over the building of the Twin Buttes line. which will connect Tucson directly, through Benson with the great S. P, extensions in northern Mexico. In his opinion this may eventually bring the Old Pueblo into the Iimelight as the greatest railroad center in the southwest.
 Laying of steel on the Miami extel- sicn of the Gila valley line from Globe has been begun also. This line will open considerable extent of country right in mineral and agricultural pos abilities.

 Holmes waived time for sentence ani was ordered committed to the county jail for three months.
 But little testimony was introduced yesterday forenoon. Attorney Jacobs attempted to prove Holmes reputation by number of character witnesses, but the court held that testimony of this nature was irreveiant and ruled it out. The prosecution then put on the complaining witness and others for rebuttal testimony and after ar gument, the case was submitted to the jury at noon.
 A verdict was returned shortfly af- ter o'clock, finding the defendant guilty as charged.
 The argument of United States At torney J. L. B. Alexander to the jury was one of. the most sarcastic ad- dresses delivered in the local court room for many months.

MODERN FAG|N PAYS

 on Way to cananea

Change" the monkey" alias the captain" alias 'the modern Fagin, and bearing several other aliases. 2 man recently brought into the lime light of publicity because of being ac- cused of having taught young boys to steal for him, was in Bisbee a few days since making his way on foot to Cananea. His appearance here followed his forcible leave taking of Agua Prieta, from which place he was driven by the officers
 Change, who is an elderly man, 3c- quired his alias from the fact that his appearance is closely allied to simian. Recently he was arrested in Douglas on the charge of causing boys to steal for his support. Al though the evidence at the dispossl Of the officials was insufficient to ,se- cure his conviction on the charge, he was given a "floater," and went to Agua Prieta, across the line He shortly became involved with the off, cers there, and in fight with several of them was severely beaten, although managing to make his escape to the American side of the line.
 While in Bisbee he was hidden by friends on Chihuahua hill. end his presence was not suspected until yes terday, when a man who had known him previously stated that he had seen him. Change" is supposed to be .n Cananea at present.

CEMENT CONTROVERSY

Who is right? Who is wrong. Do the experts representing the City of Bisbee render the correct verdict when they say samples of cement fur nished by the Moore Fuel & Feed company are bad, or do the expert chemists chosen by the company 70 try samples from the shipment in dis pute, who say the samples are good and all they should be?
 Another chapter was added to the story of the conflicting clements in the dispute when the report of an eastern laboratory was received yes terday by the company. It stated that the samples of cement sent them for test, and taken from a shipment sent to Bisbee for use in the building of retaining walls, was perfect.
 The cement is portion of the same shipment which was declared 50 per cent bad by the city engineer. the cotmpany states. and was taken from the same sacks in the o. K. ware house from which he took samples.
 The cement was sent to two labora. tories of prominence. and the report Of the second is awaited with interest.

 ADMITS GUILT
Councilman Says He is Re- sponsible for Placing New
 "G0oseneck" Lights
COUNCIL TO CONSIDER
 GRAND LIGHTING SCHEME

When the city council meets this evening one of the matters which will pro bably be discussed at some length is the action of the lighting commit tee. or some one. presumably the chairman of the committee, Alderman Allen. in placing the new iron light poles in punches on Subway street. That there will be some caustic dis cussion is considered probable.
 Mr. Allen, in speaking of the mat ter recently. accepted whatever blame attaches to the setting of the lights. declaring that ne was proud of them and their arrangement. Other co1n- cilmen deny knowledge of the par chase of the poles. The city clerk declares that until he is authorized by the council he can net and will not Fay for them.
 A good deal of comment of favora- ble' and unfavorable character is heard concerning the "goose-necks" and their disposition along the street in such. close array. IL has been sug- gested that it would be far more ap- propriate if the semi-sloom of Rail. road and Brewery avenues at their juncture might be relieved by one or two of the poles instead of all the light being shed on an area of pracIi- caliy subordinate importance If the street cars do not go up Subway street The property benefited most by the proposed grand illumination is the Allen block.

LOVESICk MEXICAN GESTURES SLIPPERS Zacatecas Is Awakened By Serenader With Guitar and
 Jug of Vino

With anguish writ deep upon his countenance, a jug of vino and a guitar as accessories to the murder of melody, a Mexican got in decidedly bad" few nights since iH Zacate- cas-. thesMexican settlement in upper Brewery gulch.
 About II p. m., when other residents wished to sleep, the man, said to have been recently tilted by a woman of his race, went out upon the hillside above the little settlement and was soon engaged in loudly singing in his native tongue. a song entitled. "Oh Why D-o-e-s-t Thou Not Lose me-" The same song was repeated time and again with slightly varying effects ow- ing to the man becoming more intox- fcated.
 As time went on and mignight rang out without cessation of the nuisance rocks began to fly in the direction of the serenader. Not one whit did they disturb him in his sad melody. It was not until several men of the neighbor- hood appeared and set the dogs, which are numerous in that vicinity, on him, that he consented b leave. When last seen he was hiking over the hill with his vino and guitar at run evidently looking for . chance to shake the ca nine pursuers and again settle down Ito implore the lost fair one to love. him as Of yore.
