THE INCREASE OF LAND PRICES:

THE INCREASE OF LAND PRICES.
A writer in the "Outlook" gives a
reason for the Increased prices OF
farm lands which many observers
have overlooked. He admits, OF
course, that the increases IN tne
prices Of general commodities, the ae-
crease in the farm land open to cuitl-
walton. the depreciation In the Value
of gold and the growth In population,
which means more mouths to feed,
have been factors, but he calls atten-
ton to another influence at Work IN
enhancing the selling prices OF farm
lands. He says:
Farms west OF the Mississippi river
that sold several years ago Tor $4O
an acre are now worth twice or three
times that much. Why? They 90 not
raise larger crops, they are no nearer
to town, they have no richer soil. The
owner Of one, who has seen the value
of is homestead Of a Quarter-sectlon
(16o acres) enhance from $1.25 an
acre to $4,000. put it In a nutshell
when he said:
at IA the Increase Of comfort and
% convenience that makes 1t worth
more. When can talk to every other
farmer, every merchant and every
buyer Of my products over the tele-
phone. when can get the news OF the
world by carrier every morning, when
7 can save enough time out of the
day. to give me opportunity to enjoy
tb things that folks in town enjoy, IT
y axes my farm worth more as
home. and that value has increased
more than the value Of the products
can sell"
And farm lands have not reached
their highest value by any means. The
agencies that have operated to IN
crease the value of land will continue
to operate and will commune
to have their effect IN enhancing tne
value of farm property.

reads:
From shore to shore, from gulf to

In every town, by city and free state
Our hosts will pray, and work and

That the saloon its departure in our

Unless the young people want to

Push hardest when trade is dull
est" is the advice given by writer in
one of the trade magazines. He adds:
It is one of the laws of nature that
the greater the load the greater must
be the effort expended to move it. 1t
Is one of the laws of merchandising,
that the duller the season the greater
must be the effort to get trade.
Lessen the effort and the load will
not move-the trade will not come.
Increase the effort and the faster
will the load move-the faster will the
trade come.
This is an unalterable law-the law
Of cause and effect.
And there can be no escape from 1t
without punishment.
You will publish your business, you
will penalize yourself-if you fail to
push hardest when trade Is dullest.
Just because there Is tendency to
let down on ''the other fellows" part.
is all the more reason why you should
drive ahead-and gain further lead.

one of the very few frontieTsmen
 who braved the terrors of the Apaches and staked out a farm on
 the fertile bottom lands of the river. Sullivan remained at the place some time and frequently showed the black 1 ore (since familiarity known amongst | the miners as nugget silverD to MT. ! Mason, but without telling exactly where he found it. MT. Mason sup 1 posed he would go back to the place, and he no doubt expected to go with 1 him and participate in the benefits
 of the discovery, but one day Sulli- Ivan suddenly disappeared, and was not heard of for years after He
 was supposed to have been killed by | the Apaches, or to have perished on ! the desert, in the attempt, perhaps
 to return to the place where he had 1 found the rich silver ore.
 i The desire to find the place where ! Sullivan had discovered the pure stuff" as the ranchers called the | black nuggets of silver sulphide, led
 them to make several attempts to get
 there Prospecting parties were form i ed at intervals for several years to prospect the Pinal mountains, and 1 these parties were often close upon
 the spot without knowing it. They | even made a location only mile and a half distant from the place, | and called it the Silver Queen" This was the first location made in the | region. but no district was then de 1 fined by boundaries, or organized by | the appointment of a recorder. Later i the party extended their searches over the Pinal mountains into the re- e-ion now known as "Globe District" ."

 decade of the reputed date of discovery and the writer probable know what he
 was telling about. IL is noticeable though that he made one error in speaking of Mason living in 1872 near where Phoenix now stands, for 1t is
 commonly known that Phoenix was
 something of a village as early as 1870.
 Here is the story and it is an interest ing one:
 The Silver King.
 In the year of 1872, when General Stoneman. the accomplished cavalry officer, now governor of California,
 was commander of the department of Arizona, it became necessary to adopt more rigorous measures than had been made for the suppression of Apache raids To this end General Stoneman moved with his command to the base of the mountains, near the Apache trail. and established a camp. He then constructed a road,
 or mule trail, diagonally up to the face of the mountain leading over into the higher tablelands and val leys of the Pinal range. This pack trail. since known as "Stoneman's Grade" is the main travelled route to the mining districts of Globe and Pioneer.
 One of the soldiers. named Sulli- van. employed in cutting the trail
 when returning from his work one | evening, sat down to rest on a pro iceting rock, near to camp. and be- | gan picking up loose fragments of
 rock about him, amongst which were some small but heavy black, metallic | looking Jumps. These. instead of ! breaking up when pounded on the stones. became flattened out, and were evidently metallic. somewhat resembling lead. This attracted his attention. but he did not realize the l importance of his find. He. how ever, gathered a few of the Jumps and went on to camp. without say ] ing anything about his discovery to | his comrades. His term of service | expiring soon afterwards, he was | discharged from the service and made 1 his way to the ranch of Charles G | Mason. on Salt river, near to the place where the town of Phoenix was J afterward located MT Mason was

Boston SWindled
In Electric Lights?

Boston, Feb. 3.-Boston is paying
100000 a year more than it should for
the lighting of it's streets by electricity
and has been paying at least S1.300,000
moro than was just during the past 10
years, according to startling report
made to the common council of Boston
Thursday night by special committee
of that body appointed last year to
make an investigation.
The committee finds that Boston is
paying S103.54 a year for the same
lamp for which St. Louis pays $50
Com pared with other cities the COM
mittee finds that Boston is paying
more for its street lighting than any
other large city in the country.
TIL special committee moreover de-
clares the present contract is illegal,
because not authorized by the board of
aldermen and voidable because. as the
corporation counsel says, the money
for more than one year is not in
sight, the existing contract being for
five years.
A severe criticism OF the Financ~
Commission for it's methods was also
Incorporated in the report.
