pounds weight, fastened to a chain
OF about ten feet in length, which
chain is rivted to the short chain.
Mr. Garrard also found "stocks'
hanging and ready for use in the bls
cell room. Stocks are pulleys and
ropes, such as are used in raising
bales of hay into barn, and were
attached to the ceiling At the low

THE O|GG|NS
CLOSE DOWN

The placer diggings and concen-
trating plant at Empire. which has
been running during the summer,
has closed down owing tc the cold
weather. During the season a lot
of experimental and practical work
has been done. A considerable
quantity OF gravel has been worked
over and the parties interested are
entirely satisfied with the results.
1t is stated by those in charge
that as soon as spring opens the
work is to be resumed on a much
larger scale and that aside from the
gravel workings a small dredge is
to be installed on the river. where
the richest OF the mill deposits have
lodged. During the past summer
experiments and tests along this
line has shown that there is suffi-
cent amount of values lodged on the
river bed to warrant the dredge and
other contemplated work.

Hon. Carl Hayden Busy.

Recently Hon. Carl Hayden, ArizOna's able young represent ative in Congress, when in de- fense of the new three-year- l1onleStead- law in a speech on tue floor of the House, said:
 We have been told that by reason of the liberal homestead laws of the Dominion last year 123. eco American citizens left the United States to settle in Canada, taking with them mill lions of dollars of wealth. Ariz- Ona would welcome such an ad- dition to her population. We are developing our resources so that we will be able to accom- modate many times that number of people. We are storing the floods of the rivers; we are bor- ing deep into the earth, and there finding the precious fluid that brings life to the thirsty soil. There are no fairer fields to be found under any flag than can be found in Arizona.
 This change in the home stead law in one of the best means of diverting the great stream of emigration which is now leaving the United States, and directing it's source into the States of the arid west, such as the one which I have the honor to represent.
