MR. C. V. SMITH TELLS US SOMETHING OF ARIZONA Describes Some of the Places of Inteaest Recently Visited By Him. Phoenix, Arizona, April 4. Editor Journal and Friends: Since last writing you I have made some trips through the moun* tains which surround Phoenix. The first one was to Hayden, Arizona, 98 miles northeast of Phoenix, where the Ray Consolidated Copper Co. have their mills, in the center of the richest copper mining district in Arizona. It comprises 4;000 acres of land, on which the mills are located. The mills as they now stand have cost the company $12,000,000, and are not yet completed. When completed they will be the largest in the United States, if not in the world, having a capacity of 9,600 horse power. The power house at Hayden is the finest 4 ever saw. Practically all copper ore mined in Arizona will be refined at Hayden. My son Walter, worked for two months this winter as a millwright carpenter at Hayden. a typical mining town, is located six miles from Hayden, and has two main shafts equipped with hoisting and crushing machinery having a combined capacity of 10,000 tons a day. The electric power used at Ray is generated at Hayden. The two main hoists are 300 horse power with a hoisting speed of 300 feet per minute. The skip, or car, holds twelve tons, a 1 % ihch cable being used. The capacity of each machine is 6,000 tons a day. Ray has about 5,000 inhabitants. After re, aching home from Hayden and Ray, my son Aubrey and I took a trip to the Indian reservations, southward from Phoenix. We first visited the Pima reservation, which is twenty-five miles from Phoenix, on the Gila river, where the Presbyterian church has estab* lished a missionary. He said he was succeeding fairly well Christianisizing the Indians, but they were very slow to understand and accept the white man’s creed. The Catholics also have a church and school on this reservation. The Indians live in small adobe houses with roofs, without any floors or furniture. We left there for Sacaton, on the Maricopia reservation, going by way of Snaketown, Sandtown and the Twin mountains. We traveled through a practically uninhabited country for forty miles. We saw no vegetation except slumps of sage brush and scattering bushes of greasewood and mesquite. Reaching Sandtown about six o’clock in the evening and learning there that the Gila river was unfordable, we were unable to cross to Sacoten, so we decided to camp for the night and rest the ponies, for we had traveled about seventy miles that day. While Aubrey took care of the ponies I gathered sticks from the desert (there being no wood) to make a fire to cook our supper. We had brought groceries from home. There all alone on the desert in the twilight, Aubrey and I sitting around the camp fire, cooked and ate our supper. You may guess where we slept After a good night’s rest and a good breakfast cooked on the coals of our campfire and the day being ideal we packed our outfit and started for home by the way of an irrigated part of the country. We came by the way of Mesa, where is located the Evans school. At present and for the past two or three years Archie Roosevelt, son of exPresident Roosevelt, has been a student in this school. We passed through Tempa, a small town located in a very rich agricultural'

district. We crossed the Salt river on a concrete bridge fchich is over a half mile long and is said to be the longest concrete bridge in the world, reaching home after covering a distance of 120 miles, feeling fine and looking forward to another trip* in a few days to the Roosevelt dam, 82 miles northeast of Phoenix. Here we find that man has finished up what God laid the foundation for. Where the Roosevelt dam is built there are two mountains about 260 feet apart, then theA blasted out on either side 260 feet for spillways. The spillways are fifty feet lower than the top of the dam, making the dam 780 feet long, 266 feet high and 165 feet at the base. At present there is 167 feet of water in the lake formed by the dam. This lake, or reservoir, is eighteen miles long and three miles wide, and is the source of irrigation water supply in the Salt river valley. The dam is built across Salt river and at the base of the dam is a power house that is fed by water that is brought in a concrete canal twenty miles long, seventy feet above the water in the reservoir, having a fall of 237 feet. Here electricity is manufactured for all purposes in the Salt river valley and for the Indian reservations, where they have pumping stations to irrigate their lands. While the dam is a marvelous piece of mechanical work, the road that leads one there is a road of scenery for forty miles over the mountains. The dam is 3,500 feet above sea level, but in some places the road is 7,000 and in others only 2,500 feet above sea level, running around on the side of the mountain just wide enough for a road, except at intervals where passing is provided for. Autos -make fast time on this road. I went in one that swerved around the curves flying. In many places the curves are counter marches—the road is so crooked that one can often look across a ravine or canyon and see the road on the other side 500 feet lower or higher, as the case may be. The scenery the whole length of the road is grand. There were but two passengers in our car and we covered the distance of 82 miles in 5% hours. While at the dam we took a ride on the reservoir in a steam launch. Lest I tire you I wilt close and tell the rest when we come home, which will be between now and May 1. Yours truly, C. V. Smith. Attention G. A. R. A movement has been started to have all the G. A. R. Posts in Kosciusko county attend the State Encampment at South Bend on the 21st of May in a body. The following named posts have heartily responded to the call: John Murry Post 124 of Pierceton; Henry Chipman Post 442, and Kosciusko Post 114 of Warsaw; McLaughlin Post 508 of Milford; and Lake View Post 246 of Syracuse. A committee of arrangements consisting of members of the several posts will meet in the near future to make definite arrangements to carry out the movement, due notice of which will be given later. All old soldiers of the county are invited to take part. Let it be a grand rallying of the soldiers of ’6l and ’65 from old Kosciusko.

ITEMS FROM ALL OVERJHE STATE Items of More or Less Interest to Our Readers, gathered From Our Exchanges. An overturned boat with a cap floating under it caused a sensation at Goshen Friday afternoon, when the discovery was made near the Hawks power house on the Elkhart river. It was not known who the boat belonged to. W. E. Burch, aged 35, in working about the flywheel in the Oil Pull plant of Laporte Saturday night, was drawn into it and was hurled to death, every bone in his body being broken. Burch is survived by his wife and child. While on her way to attend church Sunday evening Mrs. Wm. Randels, a prominent resident of Warsaw, died at 7 o’clock from heart trouble. Mrs. Randels had been in perfect health prior to this with the exception of a cold. Plymouth has succeeded in making satisfactory arrangements with the Robert Miehle Printing Press Mfg. Co. to locate there. This is a newly organized company and not the company making the Miehle press that is no wr in general use. Ex-Congressman Clarence C Gilliams of Lagrange was stricken with paralysis Sunday and it is not thought that he will recover. This is his second stroke. He was scheduled among the possible candidates for governor on the Republican ticket. Harrison and Homer Ringle of Bremen, are trying a new expert ment in onion culture this year. They have built a hot house in which they will start the onions and when they reach the proper size will be transplanted like cabbage and other plants. Determined to enforce the statutes relating to the safety and welfare of employes, State Factory Inspector N. H. Keyser accompanied by Chief Ulrich of the fire department visited a number of Elkhart factories last week and in one instance notified the owners to install three fire escapes at once and also to discharge two child employees of school age. Fire of unknown origin destroyed the school house at Green City, about ten miles southeast of Albion, last Thursday morning. The building was left in perfect condition on Wednesday evening by the teacher, Miss Bessie Dodd, and the janitor, and it is hardly likely that the fire was caused from defective heating apparatus, as the room had been provided with a new stove and pipe at the beginning of the winter term of school.

Wawasee Inn Prospects. The President of the Wawasee Inn Company, Mr. L. D. Ballou, just paid a visit to our City and also to the Wawasee Inn property on Lake Wawasee and reports that the prospects for a successful year this coming season have never before been brighter. This beautiful body of water adjacent to our little city is becoming more and more known as the years go by and especially has the Wawasee Inn become noted as a rendevous for societies, clubs and other organizations to hold their annual meetings and conventions For this coming year there has been a larger number than heretofore applied for dates to hold conventions, and this alone insures better prospects for the coming season. The Hamilton Club, the largest Republicae club of the city of Chicago and of the Middle West, will open the Wawasee Inn this year on the 7th, Bth and 9th of June and they expect to make an event of the occasion, coming in their own special train and coming in larger numbers than they have usually come. We are very glad to note all this for the more people who will visit our Lake each summer means all the more for the prosperity of our own city. —Carpets and rugs to clean-bod wash.
