PRONOUNCED Is SUCCESS
OF DRY-FARMER.
(From wednssday's Caily.)

Hon. A. A. Moore is in the city
from Walnut Grove. this being his
first trip to the city since he serv-
ed the county in the lower house
OF the first state legislature.
He reports mining on the upward
move and the probability of several
quartz mines becoming active this
winter is assured from the prepar-
atoms owners are making to resume
development Placer operators are
also getting ready to work several
claims along the Hassayampa. as is
customary every winter. and the in
locations point to quite lively
Zines.
In forming pursuits considerable
comment Is heard over the wond-
erful success of 7. b. Carter, who
is applying the dry principle sue
cessfully In corn raising. This sci.
cntihc tiller of soil has reared a
crop OF this article that exceeds
any other farm in that country that
had irrigation to draw on. and the
wonderful growth accomplished by
Mr.. Carter. places him a close sec
ond to Prof. McOmie of the State
university. 1t is said that Mr.. Car
ter dynamited the soil to the depth
OF six feet. and when the heavy
rains OF the summer occurred the
formation opened readily conserved
the water, and the results are shown
in the biggest crops per acre ever
known in that section.

LOCAL MEN ARE
PATENrEES OF NEW RAZOR
(From Wednesday, Daiiy.)

Ed. Block and NJ. c. Sharpneck
have just received official uotifica-
ton from Washington that patents
they applied for about two years
ago for an electric and spring mo-
ton razor have been granted.
The electric driven razor as well
as the spring motion razor are uni
que and, useful devices The blades
~ these raxors move back and
forth across the guard something
like the old reaper bar movement.
The blade draws across the hair
instead OF pulling against il as other
razors do. To shave with these
razors feels like smooth piece of
steel is being drawn across the face
and there is no, the slightest SEN
sation felt OF the work being ac-
eomplishcd. Several who have ex-
amined the invention claim that IL
will revohtionize the razor bushes IS
throughout the country. Patents
will soon be applied for in foreign
countries.
