ARIZONA CIRCLE co. TO
 BEGIN OPERATIONS

PHOENIX. Aug. 7.-The Arizona Chicle Gum company will probably begin operations by October 1. It has received blue prints of the plant 10 be used in extraction. The plant, made in Buffalo. N. Y.. will cast sl5.O00 Experiments have shown that the gum produced from the ocotillo, which abounds in this state. New Mexico Texas. Nevada, Southern California and northwestern Mexico. is superior to any other gum for the purposes for which it has been used, in the manu. facture of rubber. for chewing gum or for varnishes.
 As to the raw material All over Arizona the ocotillo grows in so great abundance that as much as 400 tons may be taken from an acre When it is cut a new growth at once springs up and will reach maturity in from three to five years. The plant. con. sisting of a grinding machine. a dis, integrator and distilling tank will have a capacity of two tons a day The raw material will yield fifteen per cent gum so that the plant run at capacity would turn out daily 600 tons Of gum.
 rke quoted price of the gum is now 90 cents. Allowing 10 cents a pound for operating expenses and dividing the remainder, to be conservative, there would be daily net proceeds of s2400 or s72O.OOO a year from single plant. The extent to which the busi- ness might be carried by the addition D; other rlarts is almost limitless

GLEASON CELEBRATION
 PROMISES MANY ATTRACTIONS

According to word received from Gleeson, the live little copper camp of the Dragons, some interesting things are in store for those candi. dates and their friends who attend the candidates celebration to be held there on the 18th. Besides a big barbecue. for which several beeves have been donated by some of the 'eading cattlemen of the county, some of the widest bronchos ever ridden in the state. will be there with the best riders to man them.
 Another feature that is expected to add to the amusement to a larger ex- tent than at any other affair of this kind will be the wild burro riding. by the ''punchers." These burros have been captured from the range in the vicinity of the Chiricahuas and in most instances have never seen a human being, guaranteeing that they will be wild, to say the least. A burro is a hard animal to ride, say the cowboys and some great fun is expected.
 Another feature will be the steer tying event for which a substantial prize will be offered. Two wild steers have been caught up for this event, and some quick work will be witness ed. Other attractions too numerous to give in detail are being planned, all Of which will be brought out later. and when the candidates and voters congregate at Gleeson they will be surprised at the line of attractions offered.

ON HONOLULU PAPER

oN HONOlOlO PAPeH
 DOUGLAS, Aug. 9.-The chamber of commerce and mines is in receipt Of a voIuminous copy of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. special edition in ceIe- bration of the consolidation of the Star and the Bulletin. It contains an elaborate history of both papers. That of the Bulletin, the older, is very interesting. for it goes back to the period not far removed fro mthe set clement of Americans on. the islands. The edition is well illustrated with pictures of the newspaper plant and the attaches, of whom there are more than 100.
 There is a local interest in this fea- tire in that it contains the picture of Joseph H. Gray. the city editor. Mir. Gray is wellknown throughout the southwest. Some years ago he was associated with the Douglas Interna- ional. and later was appointed sec retary Of the Warren District Com mercial Club. which position he re- signed several months ago to enter the employ of the Star-Bulletin as city editor.
