A TYPICAL WESTERN PRISON.
AN Arizona County Has most Re.
markable Jail in tho World.
(Wide World MagaZine.)


When the authorities of Graham
county. Arizona, decided to look
about for place in which to confine
criminals they found a natural de-
preston In the side of hill. This
was enlarged into what might be
called an artificial cave, divided into
four compartments. The cave was
excavated parallel to the side of the
mountain In which it was made, and
daylight admitted by holes blown
out OF the wall with explosives, the
windows being guarded by net
work Of heavy steel bars. The en-
trance to the depression was also
closed in the same manner, and a
vestibule, or porch Of masonry, built
out from 1t to provide quarters for
the sheriff and his assistants. This
vestibule Is also divided into COM
partments, which are connected by
gates of steel bars. The only W, y Of
entering the prison is through the
vestibule Of masonry, and in order
to escape the inmates would have to
cut their way through three sets Of
bars which are an inch in thickness,
as the windows are SO high up above
the rock forming the floor of the
cells that they could not reach them.
1T is necessary, however, to have a
very secure place, as the criminals
in this paII Of the country are Of a
most desperate class, and the in
mates frequently include murderers
and highwaymen. The mountain
which has thus been turned into a
prison Is composed of solid quartz
rock, and the excavation was made
principally by the use Of explosives.
The jail is located in the town of
Clifton, the county seat.
