THE EDISON-MINEOGRAPH TYPEWRITER. 



The accompanying cut 

 shows the Edison-Mim- 

 eograph Typewriter' 

 manufactured by the A. 

 B. Dick Company. This 

 machine takes the place 

 in the mercantile world 

 which is now vacant and 

 waiting to be filled by a 

 first-class machine at a low price, and which will do 

 good work. There are a large number of business 

 people who do not now use a typewriter because of 

 the cost of the standard machines. Probably seventy- 

 five per cent, do their own work, consisting of, on an 

 average, a few letters a day. In fact, probably a ma- 

 jority of those using standard typewriters to-day could 

 get along with the low-priced machine as well, pro- 

 vided it did the work, and would have bought one, 

 had there been, at the time they purchased, a prac- 

 tical one on the market which there was not. There 

 are plenty of low-priced typewriters in existence 

 to-day, hut the majority of them are mere toys. 



The printing on the Edison machine is accom- 

 plished by moving with the right hand an almost 

 frictionless pointer to the letter desired, and gently 

 touching the printing key with the left two move- 

 ments. The average speed in pen writing is proba- 

 bly about fifteen words a minute. The Edison will 

 produce double that speed and, with a fair amount 

 of practice, still more. The quality of the work is 

 equal to the best, it has the same type as the Rem- 

 ington, it is of the type-bar variety with an inked 

 ribbon, and of a mechanical principle peculiar to 

 itself. The parts of the machine are so few in 

 number and so simple in construction that there is 

 nothing to get out of order or become disarranged. 

 The machine has all of the characters found on the 

 standard machines, is a heady manifolder, having 

 steel type and a hard platen, and does mimeograph 

 work equal to the best. The weight of the machine 

 is under ten pounds, hence it is exceedingly portable. 

 It is as durable as the highest priced machine on the 

 market. See ad on outside back cover.

E. L. Lomax, the general passenger agent of the 

 Union Pacific railway, has prepared a book describ- 

 ing the progress of irrigation along their lines. The 

 book is most carefully compiled, and gives the latest 

 and most valuable information obtainable. Mr. Lomax 

 is a wide-awake, active friend of irrigation. 



A. new method of mining', milling roasting- and smelting 

 different kinds of ores has been successfully demonstrated in 

 Germany and is now being introduced with unprecedented suc- 

 cess. The slow and cumbersome methods heretofore employed 

 will be discarded, and the cost of various ores in treatment or 

 conversion into metal, especially Lead, Zinc and Silver Ores, 

 Nickel, Cobalt and Copper, greatly reduced. All the matte of 

 the latter, which was heretofore sent to Germany, is now being 

 refined in the United States. THE HARTSFKLD GERMAN 

 MINING SYNDICATE, of NEWPORT, KY., invites corre- 

 spondence. (See their advertisement ) 



RARE CHANCE FOR COLONISTS. 



We desire a colony of forty to fifty families to plant about 

 six thousand acres in fruit and canaigre, under our irrigation 

 system in the Mimbres Valley, Grant County, New Mexico, on 

 the A. T. & S.F. R. K., about half way between Doming and 

 Silver City. 



The climate of Southern New Mexico is nnequaled by any 

 portion of the United States for all Inng and pulmonary troubles, 

 and the Membres Valley has Ions; been celebrated for the superior 

 quality of its fruits and other products. Canaigre is a wild plant 

 of the rhubarb family, carrying a high per cent, of tannic acid, 

 and destined to have a wide commercial use as a tanning agt-nt; 

 under cultivation it will yield from $50.00 to $60.00 per acre 

 annually. A large extract plant, now in successful operation at 

 Deming, guarantees an immediate cash market for all that can 

 be produced. 



We will make very liberal terms to a good colony, requiring 

 only a small cash paynr>nt: five to ten years' time on the balance; 

 interest 8 per cent. For full information, address
