Arizona Onyx.
Arizona onyx is fast gaininir a reputa
tion in the East, and the day is not far
distant when most of the onyx used in
the United States will come from this
Territory. The great bed of this pre
cious stone in Yavapai and 3Iaricopa
Counties alone, when sufficiently devel
oped, will supply a greater part of the
demand. Even now from two to five
car loads are shipped from the Yavapai
beds, and arrangements are being made
to increase the output. The Yavapai
onyx beds, owned by W. O. O’Neil and
partners, are probably the most extensive
mines of the kind known, being almost
a solid body one mile by one mile and a
halt in extent. At present about forty
men are engaged in taking out the stone
that is being shipped to Chicago, New
York, Cincinnati and other Eastern cit
ies, where it is worked into table tops,
etc. Probably the largest slab of onyx
ever taken out in one piece was dug out,
of the O’Neil ledge, it being 23x10 feet
and twenty-six inches thick. The stone
from this claim is very fine grain and
takes a much higher polish than the cel
ebrated onyx of Mexico, and it coutaina
colors that were exhausted many years
ago in the Mexican mines. Then, too,
the mines of that country never turned
out pieces larger than five or six feet
square. So far as developed the Cave
Creek onyx beds do not seem to be as
large as the Yavapai beds, though the
stone is as fine, but even as they are,
they will produce large amounts and in
blocks of very satisfactory size. J. B.
Dougherty, of New York, is doing a
great deal of development work, and as
soon as the road is completed, which
will be in a few days, he will put teams
to hauling and loading in onto the cars
at Phenix for shipment to New York.—

The Castor Oil Plant.
The castor oil plant has been generally
to be indigenous in India,
it is now found growing in
most of the warmer parts of the earth.
In tropical countries it sometimes attains
a height ot forty feet, but in the more
temperate regions it is much smaller,
seldom attaining more than twelve feet
in height, and often not more than five
or six feet. The leaves are alternate,
and arranged on long stalks. The blade
is about nine inches across. The castor
oil plant grows in almost any kind of
land in the tropical regions, though it
naturally grows best in a light, sandy
loam. It is not an exhausting plant. In
India the seed is sown in August or
September. In cooler districts it is not
sown until the middle of October. Into
the -hallow rows that are marked on the
land five feet apart two seeds are
dropped at distances of five feet and
covered with two inches of soil. At
this rate it takes 34S4 seeds to plant an
acre.
The yield of castor oil seed per acre
will be from fifteen to tvreuty-five
bushels. A bushel of good seeds will
yield with a hydraulic press two gallons
and three pints of oil. . With an ordinary
screw press the yield per bushel will be
about two gallons. In addition to its
medicinal uses castor oil is used in India
for burning in lamps or for soap making.
It is also extensively used all over the
world for the lubrication of machinery,
and it holds a high place for many
technical purposes.—Boston Cultivator.
''Boston the Wool Market of America.
Boston is the second wool market in
the world and the greatest in the United
States. There is only one market in the
world where more wool is sold—London.
The system in London is, however, an
auction system, as lar^ ely in Liverpool
and in Melbourne. London is the largest
wool market in the world, and the sales
in a year are three or four times those of
Boston, which is just a little larger than
Melbourne. The sales of colonial wwd
(the bulk of the business) in London in
1891 were 1,433.000 bales, or about
573.200,000 pounds. The total sales of
Melbourne, Australia, in the season just
closed were 292.694 bales, or at most
117,000,000 pounds; the total sales in
Boston this hist year were 158,155,459
pounds; the sales in Liverpool were
200,139 bales, mostly of East Indian
wool, or about 95,000,000 pounds.—

THE SOUTH'S DEVELOPMENT
New Industries Started During the
Past Three Months.
The Tradesman in its review of the indus
trial development of the South during the
sec end quarter of 1892, reports a total of 758
new industries incorporated and established
and 213 contemplated and in process of for
mation, making a total of 971 established
and contemplated against 860 for the cor
responding quarter of 1891 and 1331 for the
same period in 1899.
During the quarter the Tradesman reports
the establishment of agricultural imple
ment works, Texas having three and Georgia
one; two barrel factories were established in
Tennessee; six boot and shoe factories were
erected, two in Georgia, two In Virginia.one
each in Kentucky and Tennessee; breweries,
five, one each in Alabama, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Texas and West Virginia; brick and
tile works, twenty-six, Texas lea ling with
six, Georgia five, Tennessee four. South Car
olina three, AVest Virginia three, Alabama
two, Kentucky and Virginia one each.
The development of tne canning industry
is shown by the fact that twenty-nine plants
were establisnei, Georgia leafing with
seven, the balance being distributed among
other Southern States; twenty-six com
presses and gins have been erected, Texas
leading with fifteen, Alabama and Georgia
having three each. Activity in the estab-
lismentof textile plants is shown by the fact
that fifty-nine have been established during
the quarter, North Carolina being credited
with sixteen. South Carolina twelve,Georgia
eleven, Alabama eight, two each in Ken
tucky, Mississippi and Tennessee and one in
Louisiana. This is an increase in this in
dustry over the correspon ling quarter of
last year of twenty-five.
Only fourteen development and improve
ment companies have been 4 tablished dur
ing the quarter as against wfay-tvro tor the
same period of last year* ‘ "
,tric light plants have been,
ing the quarter, as against
the second quarter of 1891,
ment of flouring an i grist mills has shown
a decided increase, there having been fifty
established as against eighte3n for the same
quarter last year; Tennessee leads with four
teen, Texas following closely with twelve,
others being distributed. The establish ment
of foundries and machine shops has about
held its own the last quarter, forty being re
ported, eight being credited to Alabama,
seven to Georgia and six to Tennessee.
The manufacture of pig iron in the South
is attracting outside investors on account of
exceptional advantages offered, as is shown
by the establishment of sixteen furnaces for
this quarter as against eight for the second
quarter last year. Twenty-one ice factories
have been established and forty-four mining
and quarrying companies have been organ
ized. Nine natural gas and oil companies
have organized and four oil mills have been
established, half of the number being in
Texas. The phosphate industry shows s
falling off for the current quarter as com
pared with the corresponaing quarter of
1891, fourteen companies having been organ
ized as against thirty-seven in the last year.
The woodworking industry shows a decided
increase, 192 plants being reported for the
quarter, this number being very generally
distributed among different States. Om
hundred and five miscellaneous plants are re
ported, making a creditable total for th«
quarter of 971.

CONVICTS ESCAPE.
A Wholesale Delivery at the Charles
town (Mass.) State Prison.
A wholesale escape of nine of the most
daring criminals in Charlestown (Mass.)
State Prison occurred the other afternoon
when all were supposed to be at work in the
shops. The men were all long-term con
victs, and sentenced to from five to thirty
years.
They got into the sewer by sawing out the
bars of a manao'.e in the rear of the prison-
yard . They then crept SOU feet through a
pipe hardly three feet in diameter, aud when
they emerged scattered in all directions.
REVOLUTION IN HONDURAS.
-
I The Whole North Coast in the Hands
ot the Insurgents.
I The steamer Joseph Oteri, Jr., which was
seized by the Honduranian insurgents under
| Colonel Nuila, has just arrived at the quar-
I antine station New Orleans, La. She re-
! ports that the north coast is completely in
] the hand? of the revolutionists, and the
I merchants and people generally being in
I sympathy witn the revolution business is
| progressing as usuV. Her officers confirm
i the reported capture of Truxillo and the
I Commandate, General Munoz. .Secretary
l Partillo and several others were killed. One
, of the attacking party was also killed,
j An attempt was also made to take Ruatan,
which was frustrated, with the loss of the
. ship's boats. Tne vessel returned to Truxillo,
! whence she pr >C2eied to Ceioa with troops
and Colonel Nuila still on board. The
steamer was thea relea??’.
i The rero.ution is ie 1 by the best men of
the reoublic. Forced taxes levied by Gen-
• eral Munoz on the armcipal mercaants have
; been returned by Coioaei Nuila, wjhicn has
had the effect of iacrea?ing his fjopularity
^ witn tue people.
THE LABOR WORLD.
Kansas nee is 29,000 farm hands.
Nearly 159,000 iron workmen in Pitts
burg, Uenn., are idle.
In some of the Western cities hod-carriers
are called “masons’ tenders.”
IV ork'aen are being discharged in Ger
many for winging the “Marseillaise.”
More than five million Italiin women are
emp.oyed in iudustrial agricultural pur
suits.
During May there were about 2070 strikes
in this country, involving over 500,009
workmen.
New labor unions have been organized in
Chicago by retail clerks, hackmen and lady
stenographers.
London omnibus men work from eighty
to ninety-five hours per week and receive
only twelve cents an hour.
Ore diggers in the South work from sun
rise to sundown for $1 per day, and the ma
jority are paid in store orders.
The South Australian Labor Party has
purchased a $15,000 copper mine to give
work to its unemployed members.
In Saxony about seventy per cent, of the
workingmen earn less than $150 per year
because the factories are filled with woman
and children.
Berlin has a salesgirls’ union, numbering
over 800 members. They pay ten cents dues
per month and receive medical aid and help
in securing positions.
About 18,000 men are employed in navi
gating 1114 steamers an 16339 barges on the
Mississippi and tributaries, and they earn an
average of $359 per annum.
Italian workmen testify their respect
for Christopher Columbus by donating sev
eral days’ work on his monument at Eighth
avenue and Sixty-ninth street, New York
City.
Tne labor men in those parts of Australia
where wages are still high and men have
plenty of work, as their number is not too
large for the trade, are protesting against
the Government issuing free railroad passes
to the unemployed workmen huddled up in
the seaports and other large cities.
From the last report of the Labor Com
missioner of Michigan it appears that 207
persons own one-third of Detroit, with a
population of 225,030. It also shows that the
ground on which the cities of the State stand
is worth as much as the 11,000,000 acres oc
cupied by the 1,100,009 farm population.
The average production of man, woman
and child in the Unite states increased in
the thirty years between 1850 and 1880 from
about twenty-five cents to forty cents per
day, an increase of over sixty per cent. That
this gain is due to mechanical assistance is
perhaps shown by the fact that in Italy, a
country which still makes little use of elabo
rate machinery, no such increase is shown.

He First Flew the Stan* and Stripes.
The flags used by the Colonial troops
during The first two years of the Revolu
tionary War were of various designs.
The New York forces used the orange,
white and blue of their Dutch ancestors;
the Connecticut regiments the three
grapevines; some of the other New Eng
land troops the rattlesnake flag, and yet
others, the pine tree flag, a modification
of which had been used at Bunker Hill.
The first flag used in naval warfare bore
a black rattlesnake on a yellow ground,
and was thrown to the breeze by Commo
dore Hopkins early In 1776. On June
14, 1777, a committee, of which John
Adams was the best known member, sub
mitted to the Congress of the country a
report for a National flag, which was
unanimously accepted without discussion,
and our present flag was then adopted,
with the exception, of course, of the
number of stars. On September 3d of
the same year formal announcement of
its adoption was made to the country.
The first public display of this flag was
made by John Paul Jones, who ran it up
to the masthead of the Ranger at Ports
mouth just before putting to sea.—Pub
lic Opinion.
Admirable results have attended the
artesian borings in the Sahara, and this
has led to a demand being made by the
inhabitants in other portions of the des
ert.

that fill your life, if you’re a feeble,
suffering woman, can be taken out
of it. The chronic weaknesses,
functional derangements, and pain
ful disorders peculiar to Yp ur Bex *
can be taken away. The one
unfailing remedy for them ia Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
It corrects, cures, and builds you
up. It improves digestion, enrichee
the blood, dispels aches and pains,
melancholy and nervousness, brings
refreshing sleep and restores health
and strength. For periodical pains,
internal inflammation and ulcerar
tion, weak back, loucorrhea, and all
kindred ailments, it’s a positive spe
cific— one that is (juaranteed. If
it fails to give satisfaction, in any
case, the money paid for it is re-,
turned.
The great, griping, old-fashioned
pills make trouble. Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets prevent it. Theiris
is the natural way. Sick Headache,
Biliousness, Constipation, Indiges
tion, and all derangements of the
Liver, Stomach and Bowels are pre
vented, relieved and cured. Small
est, cheapest, easiest to take.
“ I am Post Master here and keep
a Store. I have kept August Flower
for sale for some time. I think it is
a splendid medicine.” E. A. Bond,
P. M., Pavilion Centre, N. Y.
The stomach is the reservoir.
If it fails, everything fails. The
liver, the kidneys, the lungs, the
heart, the head, the blood, the nerves
all go wrong. If you feel wrong,
look to the stomach first. Put that
right at once by using August
Flower. It assures a good appetite
and a good digestion. %
