The Florence Prison.

The Florence prison will be com
 pleted in May. it is thought. -WheE
 finished, it will be one of the best designed buildings for it's purpose in
 the southwest. There are features in
 it's constructor to be found in no other
 building adapted to the same purpose
 For instance, in the prison it will be
 impossible fer trusties or other prison
 CTS to overpower. the gate keeper and
 removing his keys, unlock the gates
 and escape. The gate keeper in his little turret over the gate, will not follow the antequated custom of let ting down the key at the end of a string when one wishes to go in or out. By 8 mechanism invented by MT. Fl.zhugh, the gates can be locked and unlocked from the tower and, should the gate keeper be overpow- cred, still the convict would not escape, as he would fad himself con- tronted with a combination such as is used on safes, which will control the locks on the gates Within the l 900 foot wall the prison ia laid out in the shape of five pointed star. The original appropriation, $l2O ,OGO, will admit of t!.e, copstruc- ton of but three of the points of this star, yet when these three wings are built the whole will have finished appearance.-SiIver Belt.

ALFALFA BLOOMS ALL THE YEAR Eight Cutting of Ton to tFre Acre
 Each Time.

Alfalfa is not king of tho Colorado
 valley, below and above and all around
 Yuma, but it is one of the kinds.
 There may be and doubtless others in
 the deck; put for good, active, honest
 business alfalfa is the goods.
 A. H. Kent, who is one of the County Board of Supervisors, is also ancher, a real estate agent, a mine promoter and several otker things too numerous to mention. He has a rauch down the valley few miles below Yuma on which he grows alfalfa, while you wait, and feeds it to his dairy and other stock. Some of the stories he tells about growing alfalfa on this Colorado bottom land would make some of the e'suckers" back in frozen and storm swept Illinois "get up and take notice
 Last year he cut his alfalfa eight times begianing about the tenth cf March and making his last cutting Christmas week. His cuttings aver aged hIm little more than one ton to the acre. All of this past years all fal' has been selling in the valley for from S15 % to $20 co per ton There. fore it follows, that the grass which he cut off of an acre of land last year, worth on the ranch more than SI25.- O0 per acre and the ground was better a5 the end of the year than it was at | the beginning of the year.-Yuma | Sun.

 Two Irrigation projects are in course of construction-on tke Colorado river near Yuma, and on the Salt river at Rocsevelt, will cost about S9.OOO coo and will irrigate 800 acres. This amount of irrigated land will support a dense population.

RlCh Silver Ore.

A carload of the richest ore ever sacked up in the Mineral Park basin IS now on the dump of the Home Pass time mine awaiting shipment to the smeter, says the Mohave County Miner. This ore Is literally laced to- gether with silver wires, while the surface of the ore is incrusted with scales of the pure white metal. It is claimed that the stopes of the mine show a great tonnage of the same class of ore and that every day but adds to the richness of the property. Blocks of ore weighing six and eight hundred pounds are lifted from: the drift at the 125 foot level. that are masses of silver. It would now be the right thing to get one Of these blocks Of ore and keep 1t for exhibition at the Yu- kon expedition at Seattle.

A Tribute to Geronimo.

The grandest old pagan this con- tinent has produced was Geronimo the Apache, who has at last gone to the Happy Hunting Grounds, where he may expect lot of trouble. In all the annals Of the human race there IS no haer picture of brute, If there is anything in the theory of tke trans. migration of souls, Geronimo must have descended from Bengal tiger, although that seems hardly fair to the tiger. -
 There is nothing admirable from a civilized stand point in :he life of this man, but as an plitication of the powers of Auman being at his worst he is an interesting study. He played the game to the limit without restric- tions and, judged from hIs own stand ard of ethics, was a success. as the bleached bones of thousands of his victims testify. There need to be no mock hero;cI over hIs death. He was a bad man. worse than useless man. A man who could be spared and who ought to have been spared about eighty years ag6.-Philadelphia Iu- quirer.

 Review, Mr. J. Nelson Nevius, of Pa
 sadena, who is making examinat tions
 at Oopela, fifty two miles east of Ma
 zatlan, Sinaloa, says that the Los Pilares mine, in the new Santa Cruz, Sonora, copper field, between Nogales and Cananea, has reached depth of nearly 400 feet and has develo ped about $5OO.OOO worth of copper ore, much of it running 8 per cent, in a vein that will vary from Is to 30 feet in width. The ore occurs as a seere- gated deposit in quartzite. The prop erty is owned chiefly in Cananea and Hermcsillo.
 The Black Mountain, at Ma agdalena, Sonora, is installing vertical steam turbine as auxiliary to it's two horiz- ontal Westinghouse turbices. l. is also preparing to use fuel oil in place of coal.
