An elderly man and a young
man were sitting on ihe veranda
conversing
“Yes,” said the young man, “I
am going into chicken-fanning. 1
am convinced that th re is no busi
ness in the world in which there is
mo.ie money to be made I have
figured on it and think I know
what I can do. Why, look at the
why they increase. In tour or five
years I-—”
“My friend,” said the old man,
“I have had experience in th*
business. Be warned ;do not em
bark in it. You know not what
you do.”
“What!” said the young man;
“have you tried it and failed ?”
“I mean to tell you that I tried
it and gave it up,” answered the
other. “I got ten hens, intending
to get rich, as you purpose doing.
I installed them in a coop anil
awaited returns. But b‘fore they
had laid an egg I happened to pick
up a pencil and a bit of paper and
do some calculating. At a low
estimate I siw that each of my
hens could rai--.e three broods tin
first summer. Allowing for one
bad egg in each silting, there would
b>- twelve chickens to each brood.
Calling half of them pullets, thin
would give six to each brood, or 18
to each lien for the season, or 180
for the entire flock. Adding my
original ten I wouM have 190 liens
at the end of the fiist summer.
Figuring at the same ratio, I saw
that l would have 3,610 at the end
of the Second summer. I was eu-
ai, d vver *t on to find that
I would have 58,590 when the’
third summer closed. J sharpened
my pencil and bent over my paper
with f-verish inttrest. The fourth
summer, I discovered, would leave
me with 1,303,21 likely hens.
When the autumn leuye* of the
fifth dying sutamer should swirl
about me I would have 24,760,-
990 oecklers. Another year of
joys and sorrows—my sixth—
would find me surrounded by 470,
458,810 live and enterprising hens.
Once again when the seventh sum
mer should fade into glorious
autumn, I found that a matter of
8.938.717,390 distinct hens and a
rooster or two wonld be with me
in the gallinaceous fDsh. The in
spiring figures for the eighth year
T have forgotten, as, likewise, 1
have those of the ninth. I only
know I found that at the. end of
♦en years I would have more prime
hens than there was sp ice for on
the surface of the globe, counting
the arctic regions, and supposiny
roosts across all riv« rs and twenty
fow’ls in each tree. I was dumb
founded. But I did not hesitate.
I saw what I owed to the human
race. I seized an axe and hurried
to the coop. My boy, I loved
those hens, but I loved humanity
more; and I led them to the block
like a Spartan, and chopped off
their heads. 1 breathed more
freely when it was all over and the
horrible vision was gone of the
whole earth four feet deep in hens,
and every blessed one of them
cackling Young man, do not go
into the chicken business; it leads
to awful things.”
The young man started up
1 Great Ca«-sar!” ho exclaimed. “I
won’t. 1 did not realize what I
was doing.”- - Harper’s Magazine.

That Colorado will havn its eye*
anxiously centered o.i oti> portion
at Dast of this fair territory is
shown from the following editorial
comment of the Denver Republi
can: “The faith of capitalists in
the future of the Salt River valley
Arizona is shown by the fact that
some $2,000,000 are to be expend
ed in the construction of a ditch to
irrigate a tract of fruit laud in that
valley. There no longer is any
question tint the Salt River valley
is one of the best fruit regions iu
•he Unjto.l States. It is aheid of
Califoru'a in the time of the ma
turity of its orange crop. There is
in this a decided advantage. With
in a comparatively short time a
large acreage has been set to fruit,
and in the course of a few years,
when better rail connections are
secured and the orchards have at
tained a better growth, the ship
ments of fruit from that valley will
be an important feature of south
western traffic.”
Secretary El well of the asylum
board has completed a statement of
the amount expended for salaries
and supplies during the year closed
May 31, 1894, which shows a sav
ing of $3,062 80. Beside, during
the year just closed permanent im
provements have been made
amounting to $2,374.70 and there
has berti paid to the secretary for
.produce sold from the farm
and fop the m lintenanceof patients
$10.27 making the total saving
over the preceeding year $5,488 82.
Other figures show that the net
cost of maintaining the prisoners
whose daily average is 97 has been
for the year $239.42; per month,
sl9 95; per day 66 1 2 cents. On
May 1 there were in the asylum
109 patients, 91 men and 18
women. Notwithstanding the sav
ing shown above the average num
ber of patients for the past year is
greater than for the preceding
year.
The Border Vidette, pubiished
at Nogales say s: Many persons
coming up from Sonora having in
their possession small quantities of
cigars or mescal, imagiue them
selves hardly treated at having
their goods confiscated, though
they are willing to pay duties.
Travelers should understand that
the customs laws are emphatic in
prohibition of cigars in less quan
tity than 3,000 or spirits less than
14 gallons. Bona fide travelers
may bring in not to exceed 50
cigars, but many think they have u
right to bring in an indefinite num
ber of boxes, provided each is
broken and one or more removed.
This privilege does not exist and
the maximum number is 50, in
whatever manner packed.
Captain Jack Mellon, who runs
a steamer on the Colorado, has
started with 75 men to go as far
up the river as possible. He in
tends to use a capstan and gradu
ally pull the steamer up; his object
is to try to get up far enough to
establish an electric plant to run
the machinery of the White Hills
Mines, Arizona. If he accom
plishes his object he will enjoy the
honor of being the only man who
has succeeded in getting that far
up the river. The Captain de
pends upon the high water to reach
his destination, The mines of
White Hills are extensive and have
attracted much attention since their
discovery.—Resources of Southern

A document w»is filed in the re
corder’s office Thursday which may
be of interest to residents of the
Salt River valley. It, was the as
signment of a mortgage given by
the Hudson Reservoir and Irriga
tion compaey. The assignor is
Wells Hmidershott, the assignee
Wm. Mann of New York and the
consideration $59,090. The pap r
was executed iu Now York on June
15. Jnti-rest in this transfer is
increased by an incident which oc
curred in Justice Kincaid’s court,
last Monday. A suit was brought
by Thomas E. Farish to recover
about S3OO advanced by him in
support of the irrigation project in
which confidence had disappeared
with whatever investments had
been made. The promoter was
gone and there was generally little
expectation that he would return.
Upon the issue of the suit would
hang the disposition of the survey
ing records, etc, which had come
to be considered of little value.
After the usual attempts at delay
the attorneys for the defense sur
prised the court and bystanders by
bringing in the amount of the
judgment in cash:
A rumor grew on the street in
the course of the day that Judge
Hendershott had succeeded in ob
taining control of capital to carry
out the immense irrigation pro-*-
gram upon which he labored for
nearly two years. The paper filed 1
yesterday was sent here by ex
press.—Republican.

i It now looks as if the two, lead
ing national parties wilj both b*
forced to make a bid for the sup-,
port of the silver men. When thi*
period arrives the time will net be
far off when the United States will
restore silver to its former position,
make free coinege a dogma of their
political creed and favor the dis
enthrall men t of this country and
continent from the financial dicta
tion of the money oenters of the
old world.
The Tennessee mine, near King
man Arizona, is shipping ten car
loads monthly through that city to
Pueblo. Its ore runs nearly 70 per
cent in lead and twenty ounces in
silver. What a b:g haul in trans
portation would be saved, and how
much cheaper the ores of Arizoua
and the southwestern portion of
this Territory could be benefitled
if Albuquerque had a smelur.— t
Albuquerque Democrat.
In no part of the country ate
there more promising veins of ore
than right here in Mohave county.
The ledges are of good »iz« and the
ore all that can be desired. Look
over the mines that haye produced
hundreds of fcknusands of dollars
witheut the aid of a dollar of out
side capital and then show us
another country that has done so
well.—Mohave Miner.
Anton H. Smith, editor of the
Mohave County Miner, announces
himself a candidate for the terri
torial conncil from his county. If
he makes as good a legislator as he
does a paper his services should be
engaged by the voters of bis section
of the territory —Prospector.
