Mining

We believe that greater Interest should be taken by the people of Phoenix in mining development Phoenix always looked askance at mining, largely for the reason that it not situated in great mining district A few business interested them selves in that industry and encouraged the develop of such small properties located but the relation between business in Phoenix and the mining industry was never intimate one.
 Supplies for the mines usually furnished by merchant the larger towns at nearer the mining camps so that Phoenix got little nothing out of what was the greatest and most promising in dustry in the territory

SPRING

Flash of a golden flower, Clint of butterfly's wing; Rustic in wood and bower, This is Spring Splash of a soft, warm shower, Smell of loam it will bring, God, with promise and power, House cleaning, Spring Riot of hues fast swelling,
 Mcb of coloring, Visions of hope impelling,
 This is Spring Medley of birds in chorus, A new love theme to sing, Indigo skies spread OCT us, This is Spring {. Splendor of hill and meadow; Beauty of everything
 This is Spring Youth, life, pleasure come borrow, Defiant voices ring; Madness of joy in sorrow,
 This is Spring Victory. Oh, Grave where is it? And Death where Is thy sting? Lost in the fruitful visit
 Of pregnant Spring.

SPRING IS HERE!

X violet in the grass.
 Spring is here A bluebird on the wing, Such a scent to everything
 Spring is here Shower patters from the sky Sun smiles every moist thing dry. Lcft-one glistening. pearly tear For the winter, old and drear.
 Spring is near
 Call it clear,
 Spring is herei Lift the head and smooth the brow,
 Cares of winter over now Seek the woods and creeping vine White and scarlet columbine, Sniff the pungent spicy earth. Catch the swollen seeds at birth
 Spring is here Smokclcss chimneys in the sky Shilling sweet, the children's cry, Jumping rope with pigtails flying. Knucl1ling down"-the mud defying.
 Hear their cheer
 Floating clear?
 Spring is here. Lovers saunter slowly by: There's a sweetness in their eve. Gladdens those who gaze-and sigh
 Spring is here
 An dear youth,
 Spring is here In the resurrection sweet Or each flower at our feet. Know we not our Dreams newborn Every doubt and fear uptorn?
 Spring is Eere.
 Hold it dear

 While myriads of yellow winged but

 Gleam like towers of jewels in the rosy

 their nests in the budding trees. And the pungent odor of sagebrush is

" i'o ., Tn the Yuma valley similar situa .ioh exists, though in this case the i've stock industries have been reIa lively less important
 'It is not the purpose of these ob- servations to discourage cotton pro- duction, particularly in the face of the present active demand for that crop and the existing prices, but there is clearly danger that the cotton acre age may be extended beyond the linn it's of safe farming. It can scarcely be questioned that in both the Yuma and Salt River valleys at least half the ir rigated acreage should be kept in al falfa, and the resultant crop should be utilized locally with live stock. And there should be land available for grain crops and other minor crops There appears to be some danger that the present enthusiasm for cotton may result in reducing the alfalfa acreage and live stock population to point where the economic balance IS upset It is not difficult, of course, to re- establish alfalfa, but it takes time and money to re-establish profitable live stock industries. These are complex organisms involving skilled and de- pendent workmen. elaborate manufac turing plants. and market outlets that cannot be created quickly.

 It isn't exactly beer nor whisky. It's rather like the beer mash fermented by the moonshiners of the Appalachian mountains before distillation into whisky.
 Here's the way it is made. accord ing to Dudley Kidd. prominent author ity on South African natives:
 women place some Kaffir corn in water till it sprouts. Then they dry and grind it up, mixing it in huge caia- bashes with water. In some districts natives add ferments extracted from roots of certain plants, to help the brewing.
 "The result of the operation is thin, dirty. nauseous. watery gruel Natives can absorb the most prodigi ous quantities of this stuff. But after drinking for day and a-half without any needless intervals, they are apt to become very quarrelsome-

 Kaffir beer usually is in a less fer mented condition than the more deadly skokian. The latter has treacle and hops or yeast in it to make it ferment more rapidly.
 Cases of crime, mostly theft and knife assaults, have been increasing among natives. The liquor traffic is blamed, but in spite of the strictest police supervision great quantities of moonshine material arc regularly smuggled into mine compounds
